Rice is the perfect side dish to serve with any main meal, and today we're going to show you how to cook jasmine rice to perfection. Jasmine rice is super easy to make in 30 minutes on the stove and has a fluffy, soft texture with a slightly buttery flavor.
Rinse the rice well, until the water runs almost clear.
Bring water to boil in a heavy bottomed pan.
Add the rice and a generous pinch of salt and stir well.
Return the water to a slight boil, then reduce the heat to very low, cover and let the rice cook for 25 minutes without lifting the lid.
After 25 minutes, remove the rice from the heat, leave it covered, and let it sit for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Remove the lid, fluff with a fork, and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Resist the urge to remove the lid during cookingYou mustn't remove the lid during cooking, or else the trapped air will escape, and the bottom of the rice will be more cooked than the top.Allow the rice to sitAlthough the rice will be cooked after 25 minutes, the resting period allows the rice to absorb moisture as it cools, leaving you with perfectly fluffed rice.Low heatOnce the water comes to a boil, you must turn the heat to its lowest temperature possible so that the rice doesn't burn on the bottom.
