Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of Jasmine rice under cold running water. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear, which helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

Cooking
- 3
Combine Rice and Water
Add the rinsed Jasmine rice to the saucepan with the measured water. Stir gently to combine.
- 4
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
- 5
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- 6
Rest the Rice
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the rice to finish cooking by steaming.
- 7
Fluff and Serve
After resting, remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork. Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite stir-fry or curry.
