Steamed Rice with Mustard and Orange is a simple and flavorful side dish that adds a pop of color and tang to any meal. The combination of aromatic jasmine rice with the tangy and pungent dressing makes for a delicious and unique dish. This recipe is inspired by Southeast Asian and Mediterranean flavors which are known for their bold and exciting taste. Cooking rice with stock instead of water elevates its flavor, while the mustard and orange juice dressing gives it a natural sweetness with a hint of bitterness.

1.	In a medium pot, bring the stock or water to a boil.
2.	Add in the salt and jasmine rice, stir to combine.
3.	Reduce the heat to low, tightly cover the pot, and let the rice cook undisturbed for 18-20 minutes.
4.	In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, minced garlic, and orange juice until smooth.
5.	Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5-10 minutes.
6.	Fluff the rice with a fork then stir in the mustard-orange dressing.
7.	Garnish rice with orange zest and serve immediately.
