Ingredients

1.5 cups white jasmine rice
0.5 cups white sticky rice

Directions

Rinse the rice several times in water until the water runs clear.
Add the rice to a pot along with 1 quart (32 oz) of water. The water should cover the rice by about 1.25 inches, so add more as needed.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
Check and stir often, adding more water as necessary.
