Preparation

Jasmine rice is fast cooking somewhat sticky rice, with a wonderful flowery aroma. Preparation time is less than 5 minutes and cooking time is about 15 minutes or less. Leftovers can be stored in the covered cooking pot or in another covered contained in the refrigerator for a few days.

Place the water in a covered glass pot on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Add the jasmine rice and stir. When the water begins to boil again, stir again and cover, lower the heat to simmer. Do not stir again. Cook until all the water is absorbed into the rice.

We have found that different types of rice have differing cooking times. Each time we use a different brand of rice we keep an eye on it. We have also learned a little trick to know when the rice is "just right". When the rice is almost done, "steam holes" will appear in the top of the rice. When this occurs, turn off the heat, and let stand on the burner until all the water is absorbed.

Serve and Enjoy

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
