Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice
1 ½ cup water
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Bring the water and salt to a rolling boil in a small pot, on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, rinse the rice by putting it in a strainer, under a tap of running water until the water runs clear. It takes around 1 minute or so.
Pour the rice into the pot of boiling water. Wait until there are bubbles at the edges of the pot and some foam forming in the center.
Cover the pot with a lid, and reduce the heat to a minimum. Cook for 20 minutes, turn the heat off, remove from the heat, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Fluffy it with a fork, chopsticks, or a wooden spoon. Enjoy!

Notes

Don't open the lid when the rice is cooking.
For the 20 minutes of cooking, use the lowest heat possible for the gas stove. Use number 3 for a vitroceramic cooktop or induction stove.
For more than 1 cup of rice, use a wide utensil like a wide pan/pot or a casserole. Don't use a small tall pot to avoid mushy rice.
