Thai-Style Salmon Stir-Fry

Ingredients

Steps

1. Step 1

   Cook 1 cup jasmine rice according to package instructions. Typically, this involves combining the rice with 1 3/4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
