Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice in cold water 2-3 times, until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice.
2
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
3
In a medium saucepan, pour in the water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.
4
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice and the grated ginger. Stir once, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan.
5
Cook the rice covered for 12-15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Avoid stirring during cooking!
6
When the rice is cooked, remove from the heat and let it rest covered for another 5 minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
7
Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and olive oil.
8
Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish or a standalone dish.
