Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1¼ cups cool water
- ¼ teaspoon salt I used kosher salt
Instructions
- Measure 1 cup Jasmine Rice into a fine mesh sieve and rinse it with cold water three times to remove excess starch - the water should run clear and not be cloudy. Shake it well to drain the excess water that around the grains from rinsing.
- When it stops dripping, transfer them to a saucepan and add 1¼ cups cool water and ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring the pot to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, stirring occasionally.
- When the water boils, stir a few more times, then cover with the lid and reduce the heat to its lowest setting. Simmer for 12-15 minutes without lifting the lid. (If your stove runs hot, start checking at 12 minutes)
- Check the rice, there should be no water left and the grains should be tender, but firm. If there's still water left or the grains are hard, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat (with the lid on) and set your timer for 10 minutes to steam the rice. Remove the lid and fluff the grains with a fork.

Notes
- To make rice in a rice cooker:
- Transfer the rinsed and drained grains to a rice cooker; spread into an even layer.
- Add the water (ignore the markings on the appliance) and salt, and press the button to start cooking.
- Once the timer is done, let it sit for 5-10 minutes with the lid closed to finish steaming - the rice will reabsorb some of the water back into the grains.
- Use a fork to gently fluff the grains. Serve.
