- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 2 cups hot water from tap
If you are using an electric stove, pre-heat stove to medium-high. If you are using gas, you can wait until you're ready to cook the rice and then turn on the burner to med-high.
Rinse the jasmine rice by running under the tap and rigorously agitate using your hand.
Repeat 3-4 times. The water will not be clear but will be considerably more clear.
Add to a non-stick sauce pot along with 2 cups of hot water and cover
Bring to a boil and boil for two minutes.
After two minutes, drop the heat to low/simmer and simmer for 13 minutes.
After 13 minutes, remove from heat and let sit for 3 minutes and then fluff with a fork or chopsticks.
Serve immediately.
