Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
Cooking
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. If using, add the butter at this stage for extra flavor.
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- 4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as this can release steam and affect the cooking process.
- 5
Rest
After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining water.
