jasmine rice
Fragrant Asian starch
Jasmine rice is a long-grain variety of rice native to Thailand, prized for its distinctive floral aroma and slightly sticky texture when cooked.
The fragrance, reminiscent of jasmine flowers or pandan leaves, is most pronounced when the rice is freshly harvested.
It's a staple in Southeast Asian cuisines and pairs particularly well with curries, stir-fries, and dishes with rich sauces.
I always make jasmine rice when we're having Thai food.
