Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- 3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Prepare Sofrito
While the rice is cooking, heat the Venezuelan sofrito in a separate pan over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Combine
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently mix in the warmed sofrito until well combined.
