Perfect Stovetop Jasmine Rice
by: claire cary
This recipe shows you how to cook jasmine rice on the stove top! It comes out perfectly fluffy every time and is a great base for salmon bowls, stir fries, or my homemade lentil dahl.
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 ¼ cups water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablesoons butter optional
Instructions
- Add the rice to a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for about 30 seconds.
- Add to a pot on the stove with the water and salt. Keep uncovered and bring to a rapid boil.
- Reduce the heat to very low and cover with a lid. Let simmer, undisturbed, for 10 minutes.
- Without stirring, add the butter in the pot, quickly cover again, and let steam for 10 more minutes. If you aren't adding the butter, just skip this step, remove from the heat and let steam with the lid on for 10 more minutes.
- Use a fork to fluff the rice and mix the butter around. Enjoy!
Notes
I do not recommend swapping for any other rice- the rice to water ratio changes. This recipe is just for white jasmine rice.
