Ingredients

• 500 g Sugar

• 1 bunch Spring Onion
• medium Chilli Green Long
• 250 ml Lemon Juice Concentrate
• 100 g Coriander Leaves
• 100 g Salt

Instructions

1. 1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2. 2. In a medium-sized pot, heat 2 tbsp of sesame oil over medium heat, then add the rinsed rice and stir gently for 1-2 minutes until the grains are slightly toasted.
3. 3. Add the coconut milk, salt, and kaffir lime leaves (if using) to the pot. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. 4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer for 15-18 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
5. 5. While the rice cooks, in a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, lime juice, and green chili to create a flavorful dressing.
6. 6. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Discard the kaffir lime leaves, if used.
7. 7. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the rice and mix gently.
8. 8. Garnish with chopped coriander, roasted sesame seeds, and spring onions before serving warm.
