The ingredients needed to make Simple Yellow Jasmine Rice & "Peas":

  2. Get a medium onion, minced
  3. Make ready minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
  4. Make ready turmeric
  5. Make ready Jasmine rice
  6. Take coconut milk (remember to shake it well in the can so all the solids incorporate with the liquid)
  7. Prepare +2/3 cup unsalted chicken or vegetable stock (depending on how dry/wet you like your rice)
  8. Prepare kosher salt
  9. Prepare can beans of choice rinsed and well drained (don't get the unsalted for this recipe)

Pour in rice, garlic, salt, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and bay leaves. Though it's often made with some kind of red bean or pigeon peas, we had black beans in the cupboard, so I used those. Cooking jasmine rice is one of those seemingly simple tasks that is actually pretty difficult to master, even for some professional cooks. But once you master the technique, you'll be steaming to perfection in no time.

Instructions to make Simple Yellow Jasmine Rice & "Peas":
  1. In a pot or large saucepan, melt the butter with the oil over a medium heat then add onion and garlic and sweat until the onions are translucent - maybe 3 to 4 minutes. Add the turmeric to the onions and garlic and stir to combine. (If you're going to add the optional flavorings, this would be the time.)
  2. Add the rice to the mixture and stir to combine. Toast the rice for 4 or 5 minutes in the pot, stirring occasionally to redistribute the grains on the top to the surface of the pan. You'll see the grains begin to turn opaque from the toasting. This process not only gives the rice a toastier flavor, but it also helps the individual grains retain their shape and texture.
  3. Add the coconut milk and stock and stir to incorporate the liquid throughout the rice. Bring the heat up to medium high and bring to a gentle boil for about 2 minutes.
  4. At that point, bring the heat down to just slightly higher than low and cover, lid slightly askew, until almost all the liquid is absorbed by the rice, and only the slightest bit of moisture is showing on the top.
  5. Pour the beans in an even layer over the top, put the lid back on slightly askew, and continue to steam the rice until 5 minutes after all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 to 10 minutes (and not much more) before fluffing the rice with a broad spoon or spatula while incorporating the beans as evenly as you can into it.
  7. Enjoy alongside some finger lickin' Jerk Chicken or some hearty and delicious oxtail stew.

Cooking jasmine rice is one of those seemingly simple tasks that is actually pretty difficult to master, even for some professional cooks. But once you master the technique, you'll be steaming to perfection in no time. One of the big problems people encounter is rice stuck to the bottom of the pot. This is actually a sign that you've nailed the jasmine rice-to-water ratio. This yellow rice recipe is simple to make and super delicious!
