Rice Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky. Rinse until the water runs clear.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. Stir gently to ensure that the salt is evenly distributed.
Cooking
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- 4
Cover and Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. Avoid removing the lid during this time, as this will let steam escape.
- 5
Rest the Rice
After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. This resting period allows the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining moisture.
- 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.
