Description

Asian jasmine rice is cooked with sauteed bok choy in chicken broth for a delicious and easy rice side dish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 head bok choy, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper

Directions

1 Melt butter in a deep wok or wide pot over medium heat. Add bok choy and stir-fry until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil. Add rice, olive oil, and chives and stir well.
2 Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes. Check rice after 10 minutes to make sure it is pacing well; overcooking will turn the rice dry, undercooking will produce hard rice. Season with pepper and serve.
