Equipment

  • Rice Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 cups long-grain rice washed and drained well (use the measuring cup that comes with the rice cooker)
  • 1 cup actual cup small pasta such as letters, stars, orzo, or broken vermicelli (found in Indian stores)
  • 2 T vegetable oil or peanut oil

  • 1/2-3/4 inch piece of ginger minced
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic minced

Instructions

  • Heat oil and butter in a saucepan, add ginger and garlic and saute until garlic just starts to brown. 
  • Add rice and cook until the grains are evenly coated with the oil/butter.   
  • Add stock to saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and cook until stock is fully absorbed and rice is cooked through approximately 15 - 20 minutes.
