Perfect Steamed Rice image

If you don't have a rice cooker, this is the way to prepare absolutely perfect rice. The liquid cooks down before you cover the pot, so you have more control over how much liquid evaporates; this makes all the difference between mushy and fluffy rice.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 cups Thai jasmine rice (1 lb 5 oz)
3 3/4 cups water

Steps:

  • Rinse rice in several changes of cold water until water is clear, then drain well in a large fine-mesh sieve. Bring rice and water (3 3/4 cups) to a boil in a 4-quart wide heavy pot and boil, uncovered, without stirring, until steam holes appear in rice and grains on surface look dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to very low, then cover pot with a tight-fitting lid and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Gently fluff rice with a fork.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The rice was a little dry and didn't have much flavor.

This recipe is too bland for my taste. I like my rice to have a little more flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe is a great starting point for steamed rice. I like to add a few extra ingredients, like garlic, ginger, and scallions, to give it more flavor.

This recipe is a game-changer! I've always struggled to get fluffy, perfectly steamed rice, but this recipe nailed it. The rice was light, airy, and had the perfect texture. My family loved it, and I'll definitely be using this recipe again and again
