Thai: Steamed Thai Jasmine Rice

Source of Recipe


Temple of Thai






List of Ingredients



• 2-1/2 cups Thai jasmine rice
  
• 3 cups water
  






Instructions



1. Place rice in a small saucepan (about 2-1/2 quart size). Rinse rice by running cold water over 2 to 3 times to cover and pouring the water out. Add just enough water to cover the top of the rice by 1/2-inch -- approximately 3 cups. (A convenient trick is to place your middle finger, just touching the top of the rice in the pan. The water level should be just below the first joint of your finger, from the tip. No measuring needed.)
   
   
2. Cover the pot with the lid. Place over medium to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
   
   
3. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, another 10 minutes, until the water has completely evaporated.
   
   
4. Turn off the burner and allow the rice to sit, covered, for at least another 5 minutes.
   
   Serve hot or at room temperature (especially with spicy curries).
   
   Serves 2 to 3
