Garlic-Infused Jasmine Rice Delight

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cups Jasmine long-grain rice
- 2 1/2 cups Water
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.

2. Heat the Oil:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to get slightly warm for about 30 seconds.

3. Sauté the Garlic:
- Add the minced garlic to the warm sesame oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is golden and aromatic, taking care not to burn it.

4. Toast the Rice:
- Add the rinsed jasmine rice to the saucepan with the garlic and oil. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the rice grains are lightly toasted and coated with oil.

5. Add Liquid:
- Pour in 2 1/2 cups of water, 1 cup of chicken stock, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir gently to combine.

6. Cook the Rice:
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to simmer gently for 15 minutes. It's crucial not to lift the lid during this time.

7. Rest and Fluff:
- After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, still covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This resting period is essential for the rice to fully absorb the flavors and finish cooking.

8. Final Touch:
- After resting, use a fork to gently fluff the rice, separating the grains. Serve the garlic-infused jasmine rice warm as a perfect complement to any dinner main course.
