Rinsing the jasmine rice before cooking removes excess starch, resulting in a fluffier texture. For an enhanced flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of salt to your preference. If you don't have fresh green peas, frozen peas work just as well. Ensure the lid fits tightly on the saucepan to trap the steam during cooking.
