Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice unrinsed
- 1¾ cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Grab a medium-sized pot and add your unrinsed Jasmine rice. Add 1¾ cups of water to the pot. We're using a bit more water than usual since we're not rinsing the rice. Stir in the salt and add the butter to the pot.
- Place your pot on the stove and turn the heat to high. Bring the water to a boil. You'll want to keep an eye on it, so it doesn't boil over. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes. Resist the urge to peek!
- After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for about 5 minutes. This extra time lets the rice settle and become all that it can be. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains gently and serve.

Notes
- For best results, use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the rice from burning.
- If you prefer a less sticky texture, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear before cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the salt according to your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- This recipe is easily scalable. Just maintain the same water-to-rice ratio for larger quantities.
- Leftover Jasmine Rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat with a sprinkle of water to retain moisture.
- For an aromatic twist, add a bay leaf or a cinnamon stick to the water before boiling.
