2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup long grain rice
In a large saucepan, bring the water to boil. Add salt and rice; cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, without lifting cover.
Remove from heat, gently fluff rice with fork and let sit for a few minutes with the cover off. Fluff again and serve.
Serves 3 to 4.
Note: The formula for long grain rice is normally 2 parts water, 1 part rice. However, when using Jasmine rice, it is best to use less water, about 2 tablespoons less water per cup used.
