1
Rinse the rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This step helps remove excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming sticky.
2
Combine ingredients in a pot
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. If you're using butter or oil, add it to the mixture at this stage.

3
Bring to a boil
Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.
4
Simmer the rice
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time.
5
Check for doneness
After 15 minutes, check if the rice has absorbed all the water. If not, cover and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6
Fluff the rice
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently and separate the grains.
