Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Combine the rinsed rice, 2 1/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
