To cook jasmine rice, rinse 1 cup of rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice with 1.5 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. Adjust water amount based on desired texture. Optionally, add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of oil for flavor. Enjoy fluffy, fragrant jasmine rice as a perfect accompaniment to various dishes.
