Steamed Jasmine Rice Recipe

Thai · Side dish · 20 min total

Fluffy, fragrant jasmine rice steamed to perfection. This simple method yields separate, tender grains every time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear, about 1 minute. Drain well.
2. In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine rinsed rice, water, and salt (if using). Bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift lid.
4. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
5. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.

Tips

• For extra fragrance, toast rice in dry pan for 2 minutes before adding water.
• Leftover rice can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of water in microwave or steamer.
