Ingredients

1 cup long-grain jasmine rice (rinsed well and drained)

1 1/2 cups water

3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 small garlic clove (finely minced)

2 scallions (finely chopped)

1 teaspoon lime zest

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Step 1
Combine the rice, water, and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes (or check the time listed on the package of your rice).
