- 2 cups jasmine rice

- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions

Notes
- Use heavy-bottomed pans. They distribute heat evenly and prevent burning while creating the perfect crispy layer.
- Don't lift the lid. Steam escapes when you peek, affecting the cooking process and final texture.
- Listen for the crackling. Your ears will tell you when the bottom reaches perfect crispiness.
- Let it rest. Five minutes of resting time allows the crispy bottom to set properly.
- Control the heat. Start low for cooking, then increase for crisping to avoid burning.
