Start by rinsing the Jasmine rice under cold water.

In a medium saucepan, measure 1 and 1/2 cups of water.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter to the water.

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, add the rinsed Jasmine rice to the pot.

Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

Cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

After cooking, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
