- 25 min
- mild
- easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice (Thai hom mali)
- 1.5 cups water
Method
The rinse: put the rice in a pot, rinse with cold water and swirl with your hand until the water runs clear. Drain well – this stops it from going gloopy.
The ratio: add 1.5 cups of water.
The cook: bring to the boil uncovered. Once boiling, cover with a tight lid and turn the heat down low.
The patience: let it steam gently for 12–15 minutes.
The fluff: turn off the heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork. Perfect.
