How to Cook the Perfect Jasmine Rice?
Jasmine rice should be delicate, aromatic, and slightly sticky. The right amount of water and cooking time ensure the grains stay soft but not overcooked.
Method
1
Add jasmine rice to a pot.
2
Add cold water and salt and cover the pot with a lid.
3
Bring the rice to a boil over medium heat.
4
Reduce the heat to the minimum and cook covered for about 12–15 minutes, until the rice absorbs all the water.
5
Turn off the heat and leave the rice covered for another 10 minutes. This helps the grains achieve the right consistency.
6
Gently fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
Tips
💡 **Bakeidoo tip:** During cooking, do not lift the lid. The steam in the pot helps the rice cook evenly.
💡 If you want more fluffy rice, use about 130 ml of water. For a softer and slightly sticky result, increase the water amount to 150 ml.
