Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice long grain
  • 1 ⅔ cup water or broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse Rice: Add the rice to a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cool running water for 1-2 minutes, or until it runs clear.
  2. Add to Pot: Add all ingredients to a medium-sized saucepan or pot over high heat. Bring everything to a rapid boil- you want to see it foaming on the top and actively bubbling.
  3. Cover, Cook, and Rest: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 12 minutes. Remove the rice from the heat and let sit for 5-10 minutes before taking off the lid. Fluff the rice using a fork and serve!

Notes

  • Serving. A serving size equals ½ cup cooked rice. (1 cup uncooked rice will yield ~3 cups cooked.)
  • Rinse. Be sure to run the uncooked rice under water before cooking.
