Ingredients

• 2 cups white rice
• 4 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 15-18 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is cooked through.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for about 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 15-30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the cooled rice to the skillet in a single layer. Let the rice cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the bottom to get crispy.

Step 7

Gently stir the rice to expose other parts to the heat, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until you achieve a crispy texture throughout the rice.

Step 8

Add the gluten-free soy sauce to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, reserving a small amount for garnish.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.

Step 11

Transfer the Gluten-Free Crispy Rice to a serving dish, and garnish with the remaining green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
