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 simmer over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
3
While the rice is cooking, mince the garlic, ginger, and scallion. Toast the macadamia nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then set aside.
4
In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat, then add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
5
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, and stir well to distribute the aromatics.
6
Add the soy sauce, and stir-fry the rice over medium heat for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7
Stir in the toasted macadamia nuts and chopped scallions, then gently combine everything.
8
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
