Cooking Steps

Cook yellow rice

  • Remove outer layer of lemongrass, then halve crosswise. Place lemongrass on a cutting board, cut-sides down. Using the back of a spoon or a pot, forcefully hit lemongrass to crush.

  • Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and half the lemongrass, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
