Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger root
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp for garnish sesame seeds
- 2 sliced for garnish green onions
Instructions
- Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine with 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: While the rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger root and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup sliced carrots, and 1 cup snap peas. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and bright in color.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly, cooking for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 5: Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork and divide onto four plates. Spoon the stir-fried vegetables and glaze over the rice, then garnish with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.
