Perfect Stovetop Jasmine Rice
Cook jasmine rice on the stovetop perfectly every time. Use only 1 1/4 cups of water per 1 cup of rice to get fluffy and light jasmine rice time and time again.
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 1¼ cup water
- 1 tsp coconut oil or olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Rinse the rice. Do so either in a colander under running water or fill a bowl with water and add the rice. Swish it with your hand, drain the water, and repeat 3-4 times until the water is mostly clear. Drain the rice well to remove any excess water.
- In a regular pot, add the water, oil, and salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and add the rice. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Simmer for 12 minutes over low heat.
- Remove from the heat, keep it covered, and allow it to steam for 10 minutes.If you find excess water in the pan at the end, quickly replace the lid and allow it to steam for a couple of extra minutes. You can optionally place a kitchen towel between the pot and the lid to help absorb the steam.
- Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork, silicone spatula, or rice paddle. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
To store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
To reheat: If the rice is frozen, there's no need to thaw it before reheating. Add 1 Tbsp of water per cup of rice and reheat in a saucepan over low-medium or the microwave, lightly covered, for 1-2 minutes.
