Perfect Jasmine Rice

By Jennifer Segal

With the right water-to-rice ratio, you can make perfectly cooked jasmine rice every time.

Servings: 4-6 / 6 – 9

Total Time: 20 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 2¾ cups water, plus more if necessary
  • 1½ cups jasmine rice
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups water, plus more if necessary
  • 2 ¼ cups jasmine rice
  • 1 ⅛ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rice and salt; cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Taste the rice to test for doneness; it should be perfectly cooked, but if it is still too firm, add a few more tablespoons of water, cover the pan, and let the rice absorb the water off of the heat for a few more minutes.
