Steps

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it for 20 minutes.
  2. In a medium pot, bring 300 ml of water to a boil and add the soaked rice. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

  5. Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, and lime juice. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped cilantro and green onions just before serving.
