Ingredients:

2 cups white rice
320g
1/2 cup scallions
50g
2 cups water
470g
1 cup chicken broth
240g
1/2 cup peanuts
70g

Instructions:

1. Wash the Rice:
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and keeps the rice from becoming too sticky.
2. Prepare the Cooking Liquid:
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Rice:
- Once the liquid is boiling, add the rinsed jasmine rice. Stir briefly to distribute the rice evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer gently for about 15-18 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
4. Rest and Fluff the Rice:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This resting period allows the steam to finish cooking the rice and makes it easier to fluff.
- Uncover the saucepan and gently fluff the rice with a fork.
5. Add Peanuts and Scallions:
- Fold in the chopped peanuts and sliced scallions into the rice. Mix well to evenly distribute both ingredients throughout the rice.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the jasmine rice with peanuts and scallions to a serving bowl or individual plates.
- Garnish with additional scallions or peanuts if desired.

Tips:

- Rinse the rice under cold water a few times before cooking to remove excess starch. This will help keep your rice from becoming too sticky.

- When adding the chicken broth, you can use a low-sodium version if you are watching your salt intake.

- Toast the peanuts lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the rice. This will enhance their flavor and crunch.

- Chop the scallions finely and add them in at the end of the cooking process to keep their flavor and color vibrant.

- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a splash of soy sauce or a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.

And there you have it! A deliciously aromatic and texturally pleasing Jasmine rice dish with scallions and peanuts. This recipe is both straightforward and rewarding, offering enriched flavors and a gourmet feel with minimal effort. Whether you're serving it as a side or as a main, it's sure to impress your family and guests alike. Enjoy this wholesome and delightful dish!
