Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Jasmine rice
- 1 cup
- Water
- 1 1/2 cups
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter or sesame oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming gummy.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. (If using, add butter or sesame oil for added richness and flavor.)
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring gently to ensure even cooking.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This resting period allows the rice to steam and become fluffy.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving, ensuring a light and airy texture.
