Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, 1.5 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Stir gently to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the water.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep an eye on it to avoid overflow.

  4. 4

    Simmer and Cover

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time as it will release steam.

  5. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    After 15-20 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, uncover and use a fork to fluff the rice gently.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the steamed jasmine rice to a serving bowl and serve warm as a perfect accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
