Easy Chinese Rice
Easy Chinese style rice is a delicious accompaniment for Asian dishes, ready in half an hour with next to no hands on time.
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp five spice mix
- 200 g white basmati rice
- 480 ml vegetable broth or stock
- 2 tsp soy sauce - or tamari
To serve
- fresh coriander / cilantro
- spring onions / scallions - chopped
- chillies - chopped
Instructions
- Put the sesame oil in a pan – I like to use a shallow casserole dish with a close fitting lid. Add the five spice and gently heat for a minute.
- Add the rice. Stir and cook for a minute, so that the grains are coated with the oil.
- Pour the stock over the rice. Add the soy sauce. Then put the lid on the pan securely. Cook on the lowest heat for 18 minutes.
- After 18 minutes, take the pan off the stove top and leave for another 5 minutes to rest. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
- Serve as a stand alone dish with your choice of garnishes, or as a side for your favourite take or fakeaway.
Notes
- Use regular white or white basmati rice for this. Avoid quick/easy cook or minute type rice.
- Use a pan with a lid that fits!
- Leftovers freeze well.
