Ingredients

long-grain rice
1 cup
frozen corn , or fresh corn kernels
2 cup
low-sodium chicken stock/broth
0.5 cup
g/ 4 tbsp unsalted butter
50 g
big garlic cloves
3
green onion stems
2
cooking salt
0.3 tsp
Pinch of pepper
1 pinch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Select a small pot or a large saucepan (approximately 20-22 cm / 8-9 inches) with a tight-fitting lid.

Melt half of the butter (2 tbsp) in the pot over high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 15 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the corn kernels and half of the salt, cooking for about 2 minutes.

Add the long-grain rice to the pot and stir for 30 seconds to coat the grains in the garlic butter. Pour in the chicken stock, the remaining salt, and a pinch of pepper.

Stir the mixture and bring it to a full simmer, ensuring the entire surface is bubbling. Place the lid on tightly and immediately turn the heat down to medium-low (or low if your stove is particularly strong).

Cook for 12 minutes. Do not lift the lid or stir during this time. After 12 minutes, the liquid should be fully absorbed; you can tilt the pot slightly to check without fully removing the lid.
