Be gentle with the rice as you move it around in the water. You don’t want to grind it or press it too hard with your hands.
If the water still looks very cloudy after a second rinsing, you should repeat the process again. Continue rinsing the rice until the water is mostly clear.
For jasmine rice, use a 1:1 ratio of rice to water. You can increase the amounts of each depending on how many people you’re cooking for. 1 cup (185 g) of jasmine rice and 1 cup (237 ml) of water will make 4 to 6 servings of rice. You can also replace the water with chicken broth to make the rice even more flavorful.
Adding the salt is an optional step. You can skip it if you prefer.
Most rice cookers have a pre-set program that turns the appliance off automatically according to the setting you’ve chosen. In general, though, jasmine rice should be cooked for about 25 minutes in a rice cooker.
Make sure to leave the lid on the cooker while the rice is resting.
