Learn how to make perfect steamed jasmine rice every time with this easy recipe. Light, fluffy, and fragrant, it's the ideal side dish for Asian-inspired meals!

The recipe is from Ching-He Huang's Chinese Food Made Easy recipe book.   It's a very easy rice dish to make, turning out nice and fluffy.   No seasoning is added, but we find this isn't needed as the flavours of whatever dish you serve it with will provide enough flavour.

Tips

  • Flavour enhancements - try cooking the rice in coconut milk or chicken stock for added flavour.
  • Cooking methods - you can also cook the rice in a rice cooker or pressure cooker.
  • Herbs and spices - infuse the rice with pandan leaves, lemongrass or a cinnamon stick for aromatic variations.
  • Toppings - garnish with toasted sesame seeds, fresh coriander or a drizzle of soy sauce for added flavour.
  • Additional ingredients - add peas, sweetcorn or diced carrots for a colourful, vegetable packed version.
  • This steamed jasmine rice recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
