This recipe can be multiplied by 2,3,4.

The cooked rice doesn't keep well.

1/2 tsp	chili oil
1/2 tsp	canola oil
1/4 cup	shallots
1 1/2 cups	water
1/4 tsp	salt
1 cup	jasmine rice
1/4 tsp	ground cumin

Heat the oils over medium heat in a small non-stick skillet. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally. As the shallots cook, increase the heat as needed, so that the shallots brown slightly. When cooked, set aside.

In a medium sauce pan, heat the water and salt. When the liquid boils, stir in the jasmine rice.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes.

Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.

When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes before serving and then stir in the cooked shallots and the cumin.
