1 Rice cooker
1 Rice washer strainer
- 1 cup Jasmine rice rice cooker cup = 3/4 cup or 180ml
- 1 cup water rice cooker cup = 3/4 cup or 180ml
Pour the rice into the rice washer strainer and run it under cold water. Using your hand wash the rice in a circular motion. Pour the white cloudy water out on the strainer side. Repeat this step 2 to 3 times or until the water is no longer white and murky.
Add the clean rice and water into the rice cooker’s inner bowl. Return the metal inner bowl to the rice cooker. Cook the rice on quick or normal mode.
The rice cooker will go off after the cooking process is completed. Let it sit for 5 minutes with the lid close. Using the paddle or wooden or plastic chopsticks fluffy the rice and serve in a bowl.
In the recipe 1 cup would be equivalent to 3/4 cup or 180ml.
If you do not have a rice cooker cup use the same ratio 1:1. The ratio of water would apply if you need to prepare more rice. For example if you need to cook for a large party measure 2 cups of rice and add 2 cups of water.
