Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 Cup jasmine rice (not instant)
- 1½ Cups water
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice (do not drain)
- ½ Teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1½ Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 Tablespoons green onion (chopped)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, water, unsalted butter, crushed pineapple along with its juice, Kosher salt, and granulated sugar. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Cook rice: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the rice to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed.
- Add lime juice and fluff: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately squeeze the fresh lime juice over the top of the rice. Use a fork to gently stir and fluff the rice, mixing in the lime juice thoroughly to enhance flavor.
- Serve and garnish: Serve the pineapple rice hot, garnished with freshly chopped green onions for a vibrant finish and added freshness.
