Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
