What it is
Jasmine rice is a long-grain variety of rice, originating from Thailand. It is known for its distinct floral aroma, often described as being similar to jasmine flowers. When cooked, the grains remain separate and have a slightly sticky texture, making it a popular choice for many Asian cuisines. This particular package contains 45 grams of the rice.
How people cook with it
This aromatic rice serves as a versatile base for a wide array of dishes, absorbing flavors beautifully.
- As a side dish
- In stir-fries

- For fried rice
To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with the appropriate amount of water in a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Let it steam, covered, for an additional 5 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures the rice is tender and fragrant.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other long-grain rices like Basmati, Jasmine rice typically has a softer, more tender texture and a pronounced floral fragrance. Its slightly sticky nature also sets it apart, making it ideal for dishes where the rice needs to hold together.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining uncooked rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps to preserve its fragrance and prevent it from absorbing odors from the pantry. Proper storage ensures the rice remains fresh for future use.
