Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown jasmine rice
- 2.5 cups water or broth (for extra flavor)
Seasoning:
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (optional)
Cooking Fat:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter (optional, for richness)
Instructions
- Place the brown jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer, allowing cool tap water to cascade over the grains until the water becomes transparent, eliminating residual starches and ensuring a pristine cooking foundation.
- Select a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid, which will help distribute heat evenly and maintain consistent moisture during the cooking process.
- Transfer the thoroughly rinsed rice into the pot, creating an even layer across the bottom surface.
- Calculate the precise water ratio, typically using two parts liquid for every one part rice, which will guarantee optimal texture and tenderness.
- Gently pour fresh water into the pot, ensuring it covers the rice grains completely without excessive pooling.
- Position the pot on the stovetop and activate the heat source at medium-high, allowing the liquid to gradually warm and approach a gentle bubbling point.
- Once small bubbles emerge around the rice’s perimeter, reduce the heat to its lowest setting and cover the pot with the lid, creating a sealed steaming environment.
- Allow the rice to simmer undisturbed for approximately 45-50 minutes, permitting the grains to absorb moisture and soften gradually.
- After the designated cooking duration, remove the pot from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 10-15 minutes to complete the steaming process.
- Uncover the pot and delicately fluff the rice with a fork, separating the grains and releasing excess steam, preparing it for serving.
Notes
- Choose high-quality brown jasmine rice for the most authentic and flavorful results.
- Soak the rice for 30 minutes before cooking to reduce overall cooking time and improve texture.
- Use a 2:1 water to rice ratio for perfectly fluffy and tender brown jasmine rice.
- Consider adding a small pinch of salt or a splash of olive oil during cooking to enhance the natural nutty flavor of the rice.
