I love jasmine rice, it is so light and delicate - a perfect accompaniment to any saucy dish, especially Indian and Asian food. It can be a bit tricky to get it right, if not cooked correctly it can be very dry, or very sticky. This is a method I've come up with and it works perfectly for me every time. Check it out.

I cooked jasmine rice last night and while it smelled delicious, I was surprised that it was overcooked and mushy. Looking at the directions above, I see that it is less than 1:2 rice/water, so I will use less water next time, but I am surprised at the 25 minute cooking time indicated, because I cooked mine for 17 minutes and it was obviously overcooked. I will stick to 17 minutes with reduced water and see what happens.
This works best for me: boil rice in plenty of water in uncovered pot for 7 minutes, pour out all water except what clings to the mass of rice, return to low heat and cover for 7 minutes, remove heat let rest still covered for a few minutes, perfect.
