Let’s make rice!

Saute jasmine rice in a little oil to coat the rice. Stir and cook the rice until half of it is opaque and hot. Next, add the water and salt. Bring it to a boil, and simmer on low. This method produces rice that is not sticky, starchy, or clumped together. Jasmine rice portions on water to rice ratio are different, so be sure to read the directions for proper portions. For jasmine rice, it’s 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cups water.
