Instructions

Prepare the Miso Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, softened butter, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Cook the rice according to your rice cooker’s instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes.
Combine: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the prepared miso garlic butter until the butter is melted and evenly distributed throughout the rice.
Serve: Transfer the Miso Garlic Butter Rice to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the amount of miso paste and garlic according to your taste preferences.
For added richness, you can sprinkle some furikake (Japanese rice seasoning) on top before serving.
