👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

   💡 プロのコツ: Rinsing removes excess starch, preventing mushy rice.
2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Stir in the turmeric powder (or saffron threads) and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat it with the aromatics and spices.

   💡 プロのコツ: Toasting the rice slightly enhances its flavor.
6. 6

   Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Add salt, pepper, and thyme sprigs (if using). Bring to a boil.

   💡 プロのコツ: If using saffron, steep it in a tablespoon of warm water before adding to the pot.
7. 7

   Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

8. 8

   Remove from heat and let it steam, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
