Jasmine Rice with Celery & Sesame Seeds

Instead of preparing fried rice or noodles to go with my Kung Pao Tofu, I went with Jasmine rice with sautéed celery and green onions.

Ingredients:

• Jasmine Rice:  1 cup
• Water – 2 cups
• Celery Stalk – 1
• Green onions – 2
• Salt – 1 tsp
• Pepper powder – 2 tsps
• Peanut oil – 1 tsp
• Roasted white sesame seeds for garnishing.

Steps:

• Cook the rice in your preferred way by adding salt.
• Heat the kadai and add oil.
• Once the oil is hot add the chopped green onions and chopped celery.
• Add the pepper powder and cook them till the veggies are soft and tender. (I like it to be crunchy)
• Now mix this with the cooked rice.

Yummy sticky rice with green veggies is ready.
