Instructions
Prepare the aromatics : Finely chop the spring onion and ginger, then place them together in a heatproof bowl.
Make the spring onion ginger sauce : Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. (Test with a chopstick:if small bubbles form around it, the oil is hot enough.) Carefully pour the hot oil over the spring onion and ginger in two to three pours to fully release the fragrance. Add the sea salt and white pepper, then stir well. Finish with 1–2 tablespoons of sesame oil and mix again.*Adjust the seasoning to your taste—add salt a little at a time, as it’s easyto over-salt.
Cook the rice : Rinse the jasmine rice and cook with water in a rice cooker.
Combine and serve : Once the rice is cooked, spoon in some spring onion ginger sauce and mix gently. Adjust the amount of sauce to taste.
