Reply:Jasmine Rice is good with anything!! Anything you normally make with rice, you can use Jasmine Rice.
Reply:lentils are good with jasmine rice. . .
Reply:I suggest to keep the lovely white color, add only salt and then cook in a rice cooker. If you have white stock, that will add flavour without color. Also, you can make it light and rich with coconut milk and then fluff it up before serving.
Reply:I use it all the time, and do Chinese Stir fry with it. It is a lovely rice. You can also put a bit of Cumin with it to colour it. Add raisins





Look for Chinese Stir Fry recipes on the net.





Also, can be used for Sushi.

2 tablespoons chopped onion


1/4 cup green peas


1 bay leaf


1 1/2 cups dry jasmine rice


3 cups water


salt to taste








1- In a large saucepan over a medium-low heat, warm the oil. Add onion and saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in green peas, bay leaf, and jasmine rice. Stir to coat the rice.





2- Pour 3 cups water into the saucepan and add the salt. Increase the heat to medium and let the rice come to a quick simmer. Reduce heat to low and let rice simmer lightly and sit uncovered until all of the liquid is absorbed. Cover the rice and remove from heat, let sit approximately 40 minutes.
