Shrimp Sesame Rice

Preparing the Rice Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Cooking the Garlic In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cooking the Rice Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the garlic and oil mixture.

Cooking the Rice Pour in 500ml of water or the amount required for cooking your rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
