Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) Jasmine rice, rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) Water
  • ½ teaspoon Salt (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter (Optional)

Instructions:

  1. Place the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffier rice.
  2. Add the rinsed rice, water, salt (if using), and butter (if using) to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Cover the saucepan tightly with the lid.
  5. Simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking!
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand (still covered) for 10 minutes. Again, resist the urge to peek!
  7. After resting, remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. Serve immediately.
