How to Prepare Jasmine Rice

Boiled Jasmine Rice

• 1

  Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into a large saucepan. Stir in 1/2 cup of jasmine rice and a dash of salt.

  Bring the water and rice to a full boil, then reduce the heat. Cover the saucepan securely and allow the rice to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice absorbs the liquid.

  Cool the jasmine rice for five to 10 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving to separate the grains and allow any remaining moisture to escape.
