Prepare the Jasmine Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, add 1 cup of jasmine rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
