Servings 8
Equipment
- 1 Kitchen Colander Bowl Combo Strainer
- 1 3-quart saucepan with lid
- 1 Measuring cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the jasmine rice in water. Then, rinse it thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Drain the soaked rice using a kitchen colander or fine mesh strainer.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water.
- Set the stove to high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, give the rice a quick stir and reduce the heat to low.
- Keep an eye on the pot to prevent overflow, removing the lid if necessary.
- Allow the rice to simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. You'll notice a hole developing in the rice when it's done.
- Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for an additional 5 minutes with the lid off.
- After 5 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
- Your perfectly cooked jasmine rice is now ready to serve!
