Instructions

1

Measure one cup of rice for each person. Using a strainer, run cold water over your rice to remove any excess starch. Stir as you rinse because the rice tends to clump together.
2

Drain the rice. Set the rice to the side while still in the strainer to allow the excess water to drain off.
3

Add water to the rice pot. Use equal parts rice to water when cooking jasmine rice. So, if you have 4 cups of rice, use 4 cups of water.
4

Put the rinsed rice in the rice pot with the water. Cover and cook the rice over medium-high heat for 12 to 15 minutes.
