French Onion Flavored Jasmine Rice

Posted in Side Recipes by

So I was looking for a healthy side that I can have during lunch. We love jasmine rice in our family. It never needs much seasoning and tastes great plain with just a little salt. I wanted to add something a little different and that’s exactly what I did. I make the rice in the rice cooker and I make a lot so that I can have for a few days. Jasmine rice reheats very well and still keeps its’ texture.

Now on to the ingredients:

  • 3 cups jasmine ice uncooked (I used Mahatma Thai Jasmine – makes 9 cups)
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 tbsp of dried french onion soup mix
  • 1 tbsp of extra light EVOO (I used Bertolli’s)
  • 1 tbsp of garlic  powder
  • 1 tsp of kosher salt

Give the dry rice a good rinse and place in the rice cooker with 4 cups of water. Add the rest of the ingredients and give it a good stir.

Turn the rice cooker on and let cook. Once the rice is ready, give it another stir and leave for a few more minutes to absorb the flavor. 

Serve it up with your favorite dish. Possibly our Peruvian Inspired Crockpot Chicken?

Now for the nutritional part. Please feel free to visit Mahatma’s official site for nutritional facts. This recipe served 9 cups of rice, therefore the per serving here is for 1 CUP. Enjoy!
