Description
Steamed jasmine rice is ideal for eating with stir-fries, with grilled, fried or braised food items, and in soups.
Jasmine rice is a long-grain variety of fragrant rice. Its fragrance, reminiscent of pandan and popcorn, results from the rice plant’s natural production of aromatic compounds. The name “jasmine” refers to the colour of the rice, which is as white as the jasmine flower.
Jasmine rice is grown primarily in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and southern Vietnam. It is moist and soft in texture when cooked, with a slightly sweet flavor. The grains cling and are somewhat sticky when cooked, though less sticky than glutinous short-grain rice.
To harvest jasmine rice, the long stalks are cut and threshed. The rice can then be left in a hulled form called paddy rice, de-hulled to produce brown rice, or milled to remove the germ and some or all of the bran, producing white rice.
