Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, 1.5 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt.
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir gently to ensure the rice does not stick to the bottom.
- 4
Simmer
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- 5
Remove from Heat
After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and finish cooking.
- 6
Fluff and Serve
After resting, remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice gently. Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite stir-fry or curry.
