Preparation

Cook the Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, typically using a 1:1.5 rice to water ratio. Once cooked, spread the rice on a baking sheet to cool and dry out, ideally letting it sit for at least 30 minutes.
