Preparation Steps
- 1
Cook the Jasmine Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Season the Mixture
