Dynasty Jasmine Rice
What it is
Dynasty Jasmine Rice is a long-grain aromatic rice variety. It is known for its distinct floral scent and slightly chewy texture when cooked. This rice is a staple in many Asian cuisines and is prized for its delicate flavor that complements a wide range of dishes. The grains remain separate and fluffy after cooking, making it ideal for absorbing sauces and gravies.
How people cook with it
This aromatic rice is a versatile foundation for countless meals. It pairs well with both simple and complex flavors.
- Side dish for curries
- Base for stir-fries

- Ingredient in rice bowls
To prepare Dynasty Jasmine Rice, rinse the grains under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring a fluffier result. Combine one part rice with 1.5 parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
How it differs from similar foods
Jasmine rice differs from other long-grain rices like Basmati due to its distinct aroma and a slightly softer, more tender texture. While Basmati is known for its nutty fragrance and very separate grains, jasmine rice offers a more pronounced floral scent and a pleasant chewiness.

Home cooks and professional chefs alike choose this rice for its appealing aroma and texture.
How to keep the rest
Store any leftover cooked rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For uncooked rice, keep it in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
