# Ingredients:
→ Seasonings
01 -
1 tsp of garlic powder (can skip if you'd like)

1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
03 -
1 tsp salt
04 -
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, as a topping)
→ Aromatics & Fats
05 -
1 tbsp olive oil
06 -
1 big onion, sliced thinly
07 -
2 tbsp butter
→ Base
08 -
2 cups broth or water (your choice—use veggie or chicken)
09 -
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
# Instructions:
01 -
Add olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to a big pan. Keep the heat at medium. Toss in the sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Stir around and cook them for 12-15 minutes till they’re golden and soft. Set aside.
02 -
Rinse the jasmine rice with cool water, so the extra starch washes away. Keep rinsing until the water is no longer cloudy.
03 -
Grab a medium pot and melt the rest of the butter at medium heat. Add the washed rice, give it a quick stir, and coat it with the butter.
04 -
Pour in the broth or water, then sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Turn the heat up to get it boiling. Once it's bubbling, drop the heat way down, cover the pot, and let the rice gently simmer for 15-18 minutes. When the liquid's gone and the rice is cooked, let it rest, covered, off the heat for 5 minutes.

Feel free to use broth instead of water for a flavor boost!
