HOW TO COOK PERFECT JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice by placing it in a fine sieve sitting over a bowl. Fill the bowl with enough cold water to cover the rice. Swirl the grains with fingers then lift the strainer from the bowl. Repeat until the water is almost clear, about 2 to 3 times. After it's done, let the rice sit for about 10 to 15 minutes to drain and dry out.
• In a medium saucepan, add water and rice; stir. Turn the heat to high and bring it to a boil. As soon as it starts bubbling, cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
• Remove from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes before gently fluffing the rice with a fork.

Steps:

• Put the rice in a medium bowl and fill with cold water. Gently agitate the rice to loosen any dust and sediment clinging to the rice and drain through a fine mesh sieve. Repeat 2 more times.
• Transfer the rice to a medium saucepan and shake the pan to level the rice. Add enough water so that when you place the tip of your index finger on the top of the rice, the water comes up to the first crease (joint) of your finger. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place over high heat. As soon as the rice comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and fluff with a heatproof spatula.

Steps:

• Place rice and water in a medium saucepan (one with a tight fitting lid). Bring to rapid simmer with NO LID on medium high.
• Turn down to low or medium low so it's simmering gently, then place lid on. Do not lift lid during cook.
• Cook 12 minutes or until water is absorbed by rice - tilt pot to check (if lid not glass, then QUICKLY lift lid to check).
• Keep the lid on then remove from heat. Stand 10 minutes, fluff with rubber spatula or rice paddle, then serve.
