Method
Preparing the Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
