Main Ingredients
- 1 Cup Jasmine Rice – rinsed and drained
- 1¾ Cups Water
- 1/3 Cup Whole Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: In a large sauté pan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer the Rice: Once boiling, cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Add Milk, Butter, and Sugar: Lower the heat further to low, then stir in the whole milk, unsalted butter, and sugar into the cooked rice.
- Heat and Stir: Continue heating while stirring for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is creamy.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast rice warm, topped with your choice of cinnamon, fruit, nuts, yogurt, honey, maple syrup, or any preferred toppings.
Notes
- Rinsing the rice helps remove excess starch for a fluffier texture.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Substitute whole milk with a plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Use toppings like fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a drizzle of honey to enhance flavors.
- This dish can also be prepared with brown rice; just increase the simmering time accordingly.
