Jambalaya fusion recipe? Jasmine rice ok?

I bought Betty Crocker's Chicken Helper Jambalaya, however, I used lean ground beef instead of chicken. I also sauteed the onions w/ the ground beef, drained, used the rest of the ingredients, then added chilie garlice sauce, tomatoe sauce, quail eggs, %26amp; green onions last to add a lil Asian fusion to it. So I started reading the Chicken Helpers ingredients and I started to cringe due to the over abunance of chemicals (I'm a freak ok). I would like to make my own homemade jamabalya using Emeril's Creole seasoning recipe. But my question is if it's ok to use Jasmine rice instead of long grain rice? Will that be ok?

My favorite Jumbalaya mix is by Zataran's. It's readily available on the shelf right next to your Betty Crocker stuff. I add Aidell's Andouille Sausage, salad shrimp and chicken thighs I half cook in the oven covered in cajun seasoning (Emeril's Creole seasoning is very good here).





It's easy and authentic and doesn't require the work of mixing it up yourself. With all three meats (crayfish instead of shrimp if you have it) it's very filling and tasty. Give it a try.

Reply:Jasmine has a higher starch content than long grain rice, so it may turn out sticker than normal. Wash the rice really well until the water runs clear to remove as much of the starch as you can.


It will taste a little different but should be good.
