Fluffy Jasmine Rice: How to Cook it Perfectly!

Instructions:

1. Place the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh sieve or colander and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent stickiness.
2. Add the rinsed rice and water (or broth) to the saucepan. Add a pinch of salt, if desired.
3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
4. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly with the lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time!
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat (still covered) and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the rice to fully absorb the remaining moisture.
6. After resting, gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. Serve immediately.
