Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan, remove from the heat, add the jasmine tea bag and steep for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the bag.

  2. Stir the vegetable bouillon cube into the hot jasmine water until fully dissolved.

  3. Rinse the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain.

  4. Add the rice to the saucepan, return to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover tightly and simmer for 40 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender.

  5. Remove the pan from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 10 minutes.

  6. Uncover, fluff the rice gently with a fork, and stir in the butter until melted.

  7. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
