1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a medium pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Cook the Rice
Add the rinsed rice to the pot, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and aromatics. Pour in the chicken broth and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
4
Fluff and Serve
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
