Prep the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs mostly clear. Drain well.
Combine Ingredients: Add the rinsed rice to the rice cooker insert. Pour in the water, then add the onion slice and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir gently once to distribute the salt.
Cook the Rice: Close the lid and cook using the white rice or standard cook setting.
When Done: Once the cycle finishes, let the rice rest for 5 minutes with the lid closed. Remove the onion slice, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.
Notes
Serving Note:
One serving is about 1 cup of cooked rice.
Recipe yields roughly 4 cups of cooked jasmine rice.
Keep in Mind:
Rice cooker models vary slightly in cooking time.
Letting the rice rest helps release excess steam and improves texture.
The onion adds a subtle aroma without overpowering the rice.
