Everyone always raves about my rice. I make it on the stove and maybe that’s the difference.
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 2 cups Jasmine rice, a tsp of extra-virgin olive oil, and salt to taste. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and let sit for 5 minutes (covered) before serving. Variation: sometimes I throw in 1/2 an onion (peeled but not chopped) during the cooking time, then discard it before serving.
