To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine one part rice with one and a half parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures tender, separate grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to short-grain rice, jasmine rice is less starchy and cooks up fluffier. It has a distinct floral aroma that sets it apart from plain white rice. Its longer grains also tend to remain more separate after cooking, making it ideal for dishes where distinct rice grains are desired.
