Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Soak the Rice

    In a bowl, soak the rinsed rice in water for about 30 minutes. Drain well afterwards.

  3. 3

    Prepare Steamer

    Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot, ensuring it does not touch the water.

  4. 4

    Steam the Rice

    Spread the soaked and drained rice evenly in the steamer basket. Cover with a lid and steam for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, remove the rice from the steamer and fluff it with a fork. Add salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the steamed rice warm as a side dish or base for your favorite curry or stir-fry.
