How to Make Jasmine Rice

  1. Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups of water, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan.
  3. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Stir gently with a fork.
  5. Return the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
  6. Cover the saucepan tightly with a lid.
  7. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  8. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.
