Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Jasmine rice use US measuring (dry) cup
  • 1 ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon garlic, minced about 2-3 cloves
  • 2 tablespoons Salted butter, cut in half pieces
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Wash and rinse the rice well.
  • Add the rice, chicken broth, garlic, butter and salt to the rice cooker pot. Stir the ingredients together well.
  • Set the cooker to cook on the white rice cooking function.
  • When done, fluff the rice with a small plastic spoon and serve! 

Notes

  • After you rinse the rice, make sure to drain the water very well. Give it a few hard shakes in the strainer to take out as much water as possible. Too much residual water may make the dish mushy.  
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. 
  • Cooking time will vary, depending on your rice cooker. 
  • Using different grains of rice will require different liquid measurements (long grain rice uses more water than short grain rice) 
  • Measurements are in US standard cup sizes, not the cup that comes with the rice cooker.
