Fluffy Jasmine Rice

1Rinse the jasmine rice (1 cup) in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water (2 cups) until the water (2 cups) runs clear to remove excess starch.

2In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water (2 cups).

3Bring the water (2 cups) to a boil over medium-high heat.

4Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water (2 cups) is absorbed and the rice is tender.

5Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to steam.

6Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to ensure a light and fluffy texture.

7Serve the fluffy jasmine rice (1 cup) as a delicious and aromatic side dish.
