Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you add the herbs without pre-seasoning, they may not blend well with the rice; mixing with fish sauce and perilla oil beforehand allows the flavor to deeply infuse into the rice grains.
  • Using water soaked with kelp instead of plain water gives the entire pot rice a more refined umami.
