Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice with 400 ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
