    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt, then add the rice. Cover and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.

    3

    While the rice is cooking, mince the garlic and chop the fresh basil. Grate the Parmesan cheese.

    4

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    5

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet and fry over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden brown.

    6

    Stir in the chopped basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well to distribute the flavors.

    7

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
