Ingredients for Asian Inspired Rice

  • White Rice
  • Chicken Broth
  • Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Rice Wine Vinegar

How to Make Asian Inspired Rice

  1. Rinse 1 cup of white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffy rice.
  2. In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice, 1 1/4 cups of water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger.
  3. Cook according to your rice cooker's instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork before serving.
  4. Serve hot as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite Asian-inspired entree.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
