Here we've cooked the rice like pasta—a method that can be applied to any long-grain rice (preferably not converted). As for the fresh herbs, we used lemon thyme and chives, but take advantage of whatever you have on hand.
Ingredients
3/4 cup jasmine rice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs
Directions
Cook rice in a 3-qt. saucepan of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes, and drain. Toss rice with butter and herbs and season with salt and pepper.
