About Jasmine Rice

Jasmine needs less water than the 2:1 folklore: 1:1.25 yields distinct-but-tender grains; more water turns it porridge-adjacent. Rinse until the water runs mostly clear (surface starch makes clumps). The rest after cooking — 10 minutes lidded, off heat — finishes the absorption and is where most of the texture lives.
