1. 1

   In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rinsed white jasmine rice, water, and salt over high heat and bring to a rolling boil, about 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Once boiling, cover the saucepan tightly, turn the heat down to low, and cook for 12 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.

3. 3

   Remove the pot from the heat and allow the rice to sit covered and steam undisturbed for 3 minutes.

4. 4

   While the rice rests, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and ground ginger, cooking gently until fragrant and softened without browning, about 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir the coconut aminos into the melted butter mixture and immediately remove the pan from heat.

6. 6

   Uncover the saucepan and fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Drizzle the warm garlic-ginger butter over the grains, fold in half of the crushed sushi nori, and toss gently until glossy.

7. 7

   Transfer the rice to a serving bowl, scatter the remaining sushi nori over the top, and serve warm.
