The key to fluffy jasmine rice is using less water, then leaving the cooked rice covered for 10 minutes. Jasmine rice is softer than many other varieties, so too much water can make it gummy rather than fluffy.

200g jasmine rice
250ml water

Method

1 Place the rice in a medium pan filled with water.
2 On a medium/high heat bring to a boil.
3 Cover the pan with a lid.
4 Turn down to a low heat.
