👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
2. Transfer the rinsed rice to a clay pot, add water (typically 1:1.25 rice to water ratio), and a small drizzle of cooking oil.
3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
4. Once the water is absorbed, increase the heat to medium for 5-7 minutes to create a crispy bottom crust (cơm cháy).
5. Remove the clay pot from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes before serving, allowing the steam to further cook the rice.
