Jasmine Rice Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear, about 2-3 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. If using, add the butter or oil at this stage.
- 3
Boil and Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- 4
Let it Sit
After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, still covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the rice to steam.
- 5
Fluff and Serve
Remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork. Serve hot as a side dish or as a base for your favorite stir-fry or curry.
