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 removes excess starch and helps to keep the rice fluffy.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. If using, add the butter or oil.
3
Bring to a Boil
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
5
Fluff and Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
