1
Rinse the Rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water. Swirl the rice with your hand for about 1-2 minutes to remove excess starch. The water should run clear.
2
Measure Water
In a medium saucepan, measure out 1.5 cups of water. Add the rinsed jasmine rice and 0.5 tsp of salt to the saucepan.

3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Stir the rice gently to ensure it is evenly distributed in the water.
4
Simmer
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes. Avoid removing the lid during this time.
5
Fluff the Rice
After the cooking time is complete, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Then, remove the lid, and fluff the rice gently with a fork.
6
Optional: Add Butter or Oil
For added flavor, you can stir in 1 tablespoon of butter or oil at this point. Mix well until melted and evenly distributed.
