  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 inch Ginger, sliced
  • 1 stalk Lemongrass, bruised

Instructions 

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, sliced ginger, and bruised lemongrass. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
