RAINBOW TROUT WITH JASMINE RICE AND CITRUS VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Season trout fillets lightly with salt and pepper on both meat and skin sides. Lightly dust fillets with flour and shake off excess. In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold all 4 fish, heat the oil and butter over high heat until almost smoking. (You may need to work in batches or use 2 skillets if you don't have one that is large enough). Carefully place the trout, meat side down, in the skillet and saute for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn the fish over with tongs and finish cooking on the skin side, about 2 more minutes. With tongs, remove the trout from the skillet and serve immediately with the rice and vinaigrette.
- Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Add enough salt and pepper to make the water taste slightly salty. Cover and bring to a boil. When the water level drops below the rice, reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 8 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave covered and let stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve hot with the trout.
- Add vinegar, citrus juice, shallots, and mustard to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add oil while machine is running until emulsified; the vinaigrette should be thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more citrus juice, to taste, if desired. Drizzle over trout. Toss with steamed fresh seasonal vegetables, if desired.

This IS actually a dessert but I needed something to go with my Lemon Chicken and Fresh Snow Peas...so I decided that this would fill the empty spot on my plate. While I was waiting for my chicken to finish cooking, I was sampling this Jasmine Rice delight...and it was mighty hard to wait to put it on the plate! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Tips:
- Use a rice cooker for perfect results: A rice cooker is the best way to cook jasmine rice as it controls the temperature and water levels precisely, resulting in perfectly cooked rice every time.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes the starch and impurities, resulting in fluffier and less sticky rice.
- Use the right ratio of water to rice: The general rule is to use 1 cup of rice to 1 1/4 cups of water. However, you may need to adjust this ratio depending on the type of rice cooker you are using and the desired consistency of the rice.
- Let the rice rest after cooking: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and results in a more tender and flavorful rice.
- Experiment with different cooking methods: In addition to using a rice cooker, you can also cook jasmine rice in a pot on the stovetop or in a steamer. Each method produces slightly different results, so experiment to find the one you like best.
- Use jasmine rice in a variety of dishes: Jasmine rice is a versatile grain that can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple steamed rice to fried rice, curries, and salads.
Conclusion:
Jasmine rice is a delicious and versatile grain that is a staple in many Asian cuisines. With its delicate flavor and fragrant aroma, it is a perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, these tips will help you cook perfect jasmine rice every time. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make side dish, give jasmine rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
