For an even richer flavor, toast the jasmine rice in a dry pan for a few minutes before rinsing.
If you can't find fresh curry leaves, a pinch of dried curry powder can be substituted, but the flavor will be slightly different.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your liking. For a saltier dish, add a bit more; for a milder flavor, use less.
This rice pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or coconut milk.

    This recipe is fantastic! So easy and flavorful. I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit.

  • Eldridge Bartoletti

    I couldn't find curry leaves, so I used curry powder as suggested. It was still really good, but I'll definitely try to find fresh leaves next time.

  • Cydney Haag

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra heat, and it was delicious!
