To prepare this rice, you typically combine it with water or broth in a pot. The ratio of liquid to rice and the cooking time will vary, but generally, it involves bringing the mixture to a boil, then reducing the heat to a simmer, covering the pot, and allowing it to cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluffing the rice with a fork after cooking helps to separate the grains and achieve the desired texture. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white jasmine rice, brown jasmine rice has a chewier texture and a more pronounced nutty flavor due to the presence of the bran and germ. The cooking time is also typically longer for brown rice.
