Rinse jasmine rice with cool water to get the starch off. Put rinsed rice in a saucepan with water and cover. Turn heat to medium. As soon as rice comes to a simmer reduce heat to low. Simmer and continue to cook until all the water is evaporated and rice is done about 10-15 minutes.
Combine garlic powder and soy sauce in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Add soy sauce mixture, butter, scallions and sesame seeds to cooked rice. Stir to combine.
Modifications
Even though I cooked the rice on the stove, a rice cooker would work equally well.I chose garlic powder for this recipe so that there would be no stir frying of ingredients or the rice.I used my kitchen shears for the scallions.Cutting Scallions.Instead of stirring the ingredients into the rice, I used a tight lidded container to dump the rice into and added all of the other ingredients. I held the lid on and shook it. It was so much easier than stirring when my hands don’t have much strength or control and I didn’t end up with rice all over the stove or floor.Rice mixed in a container.I was lucky that I had about a Tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds sitting in a container on my counter from a recipe a few weeks ago. I would suggest toasting them in a pan at a different time to give yourself a break.
