Ingredients

• 1 cup Jasmine rice
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 sheets Dried seaweed sheets (nori)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and will prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it simmer for 15-18 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, lightly toast the nori sheets over a burner or in the oven at low heat for a few seconds until crispy, then crumble them into small pieces.

Step 5

Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow any remaining steam to finish cooking the rice.

Step 6

Drizzle the sesame oil over the cooked rice. Add the crumbled seaweed, sesame seeds, and soy sauce to the rice.

Step 7

Using a fork or rice paddle, gently fluff the rice while evenly distributing the seaweed and other ingredients.

Step 8

Transfer the rice to a serving bowl and sprinkle the chopped green onions on top. Serve warm as a side dish or light meal.
