Ingredients
1 lb beef or turkey smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cups jasmine rice
4 cups chicken broth
2 green onions, sliced
Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced smoked sausage and sauté until browned on both sides.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the jasmine rice to the skillet, stirring to coat with the drippings.
Pour in the chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
Simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Use high-quality smoked beef or turkey sausage to avoid artificial fillers. For a fluffier rice result, rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This recipe is naturally free from alcohol, lard, and pork.
