Ingredients
– 1 cup jasmine brown rice
– water sufficient for washing rice
– 3 cups fresh cold water
Put 3 cups water in a pot to boil.
While the water heats, wash the rice. Holding rice in a strainer, wash rice under cold running water. Work rice with hands, rinse and repeat until water runs clear.
Add rice to boiling water. When rice returns to boil, cut heat to medium. Cover and cook ten to fifteen minutes until rice is tender. Then drain, cover, turn heat down to lowest setting, and let rice steam. After five minutes, remove from heat, uncover and stir. Cover rice and set aside.
Serving
Serve rice with most any dish.
