1
Rinse the rice
Place the Jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
2
Combine ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed Jasmine rice, 1.5 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil for added flavor.

3
Bring to a boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-18 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
5
Fluff and rest
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving.
