Jasmine Rice for 2

[Guest guest]

Jasmine Rice

Grown in Thailand, jasmine rice is an aromatic rice that’s similar in flavor

and aroma to the more expensive basmati rice from India and California.

 

1/2 cup long grain jasmine rice

3/4 cup water

 

1. Place the rice in a large deep sauce pan and cover with water. Drain and

repeat until

the water rinses clear. Lift the rice with your fingers several times to

fluff the kernels.

 

2. Place the rice and water in a heavy sauce pan with a lid. Heat uncovered

until the water

boils.

 

3. Lower the heat, cover and simmer about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the

water has evaporated

and the rice kernels are just tender.

 

4. Remove from the heat and fluff lightly with a fork to separate the grains.

 

5. Serve the rice immediately while hot, or let the rice cool on a baking

sheet. Cover with plastic

and store in the refrigerator.

 

Serves: 2 (about 1/2 cup per serving).
