1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove surface starch.
2
In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed rice, 1.5 cups water, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes if desired to hydrate the grains.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
4
Remove from heat and let the rice steam, still covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
