Jasmine Rice (stove)

Ingredients

NO RINSING METHOD:

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 1/4 cups water (cold tap water)

RINSED RICE:

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 1/4 cups MINUS 2 tbsp water

Instructions

NO RINSING:

• Place rice and water in a medium saucepan (one with a tight fitting lid). Bring to rapid simmer with NO LID on medium high.
• Turn down to low or medium low so it’s simmering gently, then place lid on. Do not lift lid during cook.
• Cook 12 minutes or until water is absorbed by rice – tilt pot to check (if lid not glass, then QUICKLY lift lid to check).
• Keep the lid on then remove from heat. Stand 10 minutes, fluff with rubber spatula or rice paddle, then serve.

RINSED RICE:

1. Place rice in a bowl, fill with water and swish. Once cloudy, drain. Repeat 2 – 3 more times until water is pretty clear – it will never be completely clear.
2. Drain rice in a colander, transfer to saucepan.
3. Add water – 1 1/4 cups of water MINUS 2 tablespoons per 1 cup of rice. Follow cook steps above in No Rinsing.
