Brown Jasmine Rice Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Place 1 cup of brown jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

3. 3

   Add Rice

   Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed brown jasmine rice to the saucepan. Stir briefly to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 40-45 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking as this can release steam.

5. 5

   Check for Doneness

   After 40 minutes, check the rice for doneness. The grains should be tender and the water should be absorbed. If needed, cook for an additional 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Once done, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice before serving.
