Tips
- Rice to water ratio is very important for cooking any kind of rice. For soft, fluffy, perfect jasmine rice I use the 1 ¼ cup water for 1 cup rice.
- The water and cooking time also depends on the variety, age of the rice, and altitude of the location.
- To cook Brown Jasmine Rice, Follow the same steps as above and MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK (High Pressure) for 22 minutes.
