Side dishes are sometimes as important as the main dish, and should always be tied in with flavor or contrasting texture. Vegetables are always a great option for side dishes, but if you want a well balanced meal, you should have a main dish-protien, vegetables and a starch.
Ingredients:
1 cup Jasmine White Rice
3 cups water
1 cube Chicken Boullion
1 Pinch Chinese 5 Spice
Juice from 1/2 medium Lemon
Method:
In a 3 qt. sauce pan bring the water, boullion, Lemon juice and 5 spice to a boil using medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, add the Rice to the water and cover. Jasmine Rice requires frequent stirring or the rice on the bottem will burn, and the rice on top will be uncooked. Continue to cook and stir until all water is absorbed and Rice has reached desired consistency.
Tip:
Chinese 5 spice is very pungeunt and powerful, so a pinch is really all you need.
This side dish accompanies Fish, Pork and Chicken extremely well.
