Ingredients

1 cup Jasmine Rice
1 ¼ cups Water (or broth)
¼ tsp salt optional

Instructions

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear, if desired.
Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.

Notes

This recipe doubles or triples easily if you want extra for meal prep or a bigger family dinner. Just use a wider pot so the rice cooks evenly, and stick to the same 1 ¼ cups water for every 1 cup of rice.
