Rice is too delicious to not cook properly.
I used jasmine rice; it’s one of my favourites. The long grains are tender and flavourful, but there are so many types of rice for you to use and enjoy.
If you are using jasmine rice, here’s an excellent method on how to cook it perfectly every time!
1) Wash the rice- If you want beautiful rice that won’t stick or clump together, rinse it before adding it to your pot.
2) The Ratio- For jasmine rice, the best ratio is 1 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice.
Pickling vegetables quickly.
I love a good quick pickle. It’s a style of picking where you just lightly todd your raw vegetables in a bit of vinegar, salt and sugar. This gives your dishes a bright hit of acidity while keeping your veg fresh, colourful and snappy.
In this recipe, we used thin carrots and radishes to help that quick brine get as deep into the veg as possible.
Cooking the peas right.
I love sugar snap peas. They have so much great texture, full of vegetal sweetness and add a bright pop of bright green to any dish.
We want to add charred flavours to the peas but hit them in a super hot pan for this dish. The trick is to get your pan and oil hot (medium-high heat) and saute for just a few minutes. We want to preserve the firm texture so they don’t go soft on us. 3-4 minutes max!
