Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the rice stays fluffy.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add the rice, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 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 and ginger, and chop the scallions. Toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside.
4
In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
5
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the aromatics.
6
Pour in the soy sauce and stir-fry the rice over medium heat for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7
Stir in the toasted cashews and chopped scallions, gently mixing everything together.
8
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
