Wangderm Brand Jasmine White Rice
What it is
This is a type of long-grain white rice originating from Thailand. It is known for its distinct floral aroma, often compared to jasmine flowers. The grains are slender and become fluffy and separate when cooked, absorbing flavors well. It is a staple grain in many Asian cuisines and is prized for its delicate texture and fragrant scent.
How people cook with it
Jasmine rice is a versatile grain that can be served as a side dish or used as a base for a variety of meals.
- Steamed as a side dish
- Base for stir-fries
- In rice bowls
- Mixed into casseroles
To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. For every cup of rice, use approximately 1.5 cups of water. Bring the water and rice to a boil in a saucepan, 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.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other white rice varieties like Basmati, jasmine rice tends to be slightly softer and stickier when cooked, while still maintaining distinct grains. Its signature aroma is also a key differentiator.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs preparing Asian-inspired dishes or seeking a fragrant, fluffy rice.
How to keep the rest
Store any leftover cooked rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Uncooked rice should be kept in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or an airtight container to maintain freshness.
