Side Dish 🥗 Indian 🇮🇳Thai 🇹🇭Vietnamese 🇻🇳 Gluten-FreeVegetarian 🥦Vegan 🌱

Jasmine Rice is gently simmered with onion, bay leaf, and a handful of green peas for a lightly aromatic, subtly sweet side with fluffy, separate grains. The peas add color and a tender bite, while the bay leaf infuses a mellow herbal note. Ideal alongside grilled meats, curries, or stir-fries when you want something fragrant yet understated.
