To cook, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch, which helps prevent the grains from clumping. Combine one part rice with 1.5 to 2 parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures a tender and aromatic result.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to medium or short-grain rice, jasmine rice has a longer, more slender grain. Its distinct floral fragrance sets it apart from other long-grain varieties like basmati, which has a nuttier aroma. Jasmine rice also tends to be stickier than basmati when cooked.
