JASMINE RICE HOW TO COOK
Steps:
- The trick is to use less water so that the rice is actually being steamed during the second half of the cooking process. Rinse rice once, moving your fingers through the rice, until the water runs pure without any milkiness. Drain. Place in a pot. Add enough water to cover the rice by 3/4 inch. (Use the knuckle test -- water should come up to the first joint of your knuckle) For 1 1/2 cups rice, she uses just over 1 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, uncovered. Turn heat way down. Cover and simmer until rice is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove rice from heat and let it sit, still covered, for at least 10 minutes. Fluff with chopsticks or a fork. Tips: Amount of water will vary depending on age of rice; new crop rice is not as dry and needs less water. Cooking jasmine rice in a rice cooker can be tricky, Try reducing amount of water in the cooker's instructions -- even to a 1-1 ratio if necessary. 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice gives about 3 1/2 cups cooked rice.
