Jasmine Rice
serves 2-4
Jasmine rice is naturally fragrant, so it's delicious without any fuss at all. But you can dress it up with a teaspoon of butter, a few drops of olive oil, or some fresh lime juice added to the water while cooking. This staple grain goes so well with almost any cuisine, from Indian to American barbecue.
1 cup Jasmine rice
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
prep: 5 minutes
total: 25 minutes
medium saucepan with a cover
In a medium saucepan, rinse the rice with cold water. Drain the rice, then add 2 cups of fresh, cold water plus the salt and pepper. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and allow it to boil uncovered for 1 minute. Then, turn the heat to low and cover. Cook until the most of the water is absorbed and the grains are tender, 15-20 minutes. Take the rice off the heat and let it rest, covered, 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
