Jasmine Rice With Caramelized Green Onions image

Asian inspired sweet 'n' spicy jasmine rice with caramelized green onions and coarsely chopped peanuts! Now, for the record, I don't like green onions cooked, but caramelizing them is a whole other story. From Canada's Company's Coming. Don't omit the garnishes: coarsely chopped peanuts!

Time 25m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups water
1 cup jasmine rice
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cups chopped green onions, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2-1 teaspoon sambal oelek (depending on how spicy you want it)
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped roasted peanuts, salted, coarsely chopped or 1/2 cup coarsely chopped roasted cashews, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • If necessary, lightly roasted the peanuts and coarsely chop. You want the peanuts coarsely chopped, not ground!
  • Place the water, jasmine rice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a rice cooker and cook. Once done, keep warm.
  • In a saute pan, heat up the peanut oil on medium-low heat and saute the green onions, garlic and sambal oelek for about 2-3 minutes or just until softened. Stir occasionally.
  • Increase the heat to medium and add the rice vinegar, sugar and remaining salt. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to caramelize, about another 3-4 minutes. Do not burn!
  • Lastly, add the cooked jasmine rice and coarsely chopped peanuts; mix well.
