Directions

The wonderful aroma and subtle flavor of jasmine rice compliment every dish perfectly. Thais cook rice almost instinctively - it is their staple food.

~--------------------------------------------------------------------- ~-- Place rice in a large saucepan. Rinse twice to clean the rice, draining thoroughly. Add the water to the rice.

Cover the saucepan and heat to boiling. Allow to boil on high heat for 1 minute. Turn the temperature to low and steam for 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and allow to steam for 10 minutes more.
