0.5 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1.5 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, water, butter, crushed pineapple, salt, and sugar. Stir until well combined.
Heat on medium high until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked.
Remove the saucepan from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Stir in with a fork to fluff up the rice.

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your preference. Fresh lime juice adds a nice tang, so don’t skip it! Serve with additional lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
