What is the difference between Jasmine rice and regular rice?

I was in the grocery store today in search of some "boil in a bag" rice, and found that the Jasmine rice was about $.60 cheaper than the regular, so I bought it. I thought Jasmine rice was a better quality rice, therefore should be costing more. What are the differences? Which is best? (I'm cooking it now, and it smells nice! :-)

What is the difference between Jasmine rice and regular rice?
JASMINE RICE is a specialty or gourmet rice with a slight jasmine aroma after cooking and cooks to nice firm rice. It is just slightly sticky when compared to Basmati, which is not sticky at all. Jasmine rice is grown in Thailand.





BEST USES:Pilafs, Side dishes, Plain boiled white rice





NOT VERY GOOD for puddings, burgers or any dish where the rice is not displayed whole. For such dishes parboiled rice or short grained rice is preferred.





Excellent choice when cooking Thai curries and Vietnamese dishes





CLASSIC THAI FRIED RICE:


2 Tablespoons olive oil


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


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.


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 10 minutes. Serve with curry, steamed vegetables and side dish of fresh tomato salsa.

Reply:along with this recipe try adding some Hoisin Sauce maybe a table spoon after mixing rice in and coat the rice until it is a dark golden brown color Hoisin Sauce is very good and i highly reccommend adding it to any fried rice recipe you can find it at most grocers in the asian food section Report It

Reply:Jasmine rice is very aromatic and flavorful. As for "regular rice," I guess you're referring to white rice - which is just... regular. For more on Jasmine rice, check out http://www.therice.org/jasmine/index.htm...

Reply:just because it's jasmine it doesn't mean it's better quality.. it also depends on grain length and how sticky it gets after cooked
Reply:Jasmine rice smells really good when it's cooked.
Reply:Jasmine rice is fragrent rice. Nice Jasmine smell..





Thats all. Usually it is more expensive than Calrose or long grain.

Reply:The jasmine rice I buy comes out very sticky so that it holds together on your plate. My family loves it like this as do I. So I've pretty much switched to just making jasmine rice now. I think it has more starch in it if it is stickier.
Reply:Yep, Jasmin rice is a little softer, you know, finer. And it smells better, smells like Jasmine (sort of). And regular rice is just...regular. lol!
Reply:Jasmine rice is simply what the rice imported from Thailand is called.
Reply:it has a wonderful smell and flavor...I change allot, one day I use Basmati...kinda nutty flavor...

My Friend Jasmine?

I'm doing this for my friend Jasmine she has no email.


My friend Jasmne loves to masturdate and she really wants to get pregnant but shes only 14 should she get pregnat by her boyfriend?, should she wait until she's older or should she keep masturbating.


Help HEr So She'll LEave Me Alone!

My Friend Jasmine?
I just read over your other questions. I think you are just making up stuff. I think you are either a child who is in need of some parental supervision or an adult in need of investigation by the authorities.
Reply:I have a comment for Pippi: Don't even try to act like you've never masturbated before...EVERYONE has at least done it once in their life even girls. most of them just won't admit it! I'll admit it I don't give a s@#%t. Report It

Reply:14 is too young to have a baby. If she has the slightest temptation, she needs to go on birth control and make sure that her partner always uses a condom.
Reply:Tell her to stop masturbating, it's a disgusting habit. She should get involved in something else like school activities or sports, that may take her mind off wanting a baby too.
Reply:Um...no 14 year old can handle pregnancy and parenting properly. Tell her to keep her hands and crotch to herself until she is well out of high school.
Reply:sorry but what is she thinking is she out of her mind.do u she any 14 year old happy to have a baby if she cant answer that then she is not at all ready does she have the money, house.
Reply:Way to early
Reply:If Jasmine feels that she is ready to take on the responsiblity of motherhood then let her do what she want to do. But if she is having doubts, then i dont think she should. She will miss out on a LOT of stuff, prom, homecoming, sexy bathing suits, clubbing with your girls, partying...Tell Jasmine that she should really rethink on her choices that she wants to make.
Reply:14?!? uh how about no thats horrible!!!stick with the masturbatin there...14 year olds can't handle children and plus wut if you don't want to be with yer boyfriend forever..the kid would need a father
Reply:i remember going through that. i wanted a baby at 14 also. but now that im older, i realized that the only reason i wanted a baby was to fill a void in my life. there maybe another underlying reason why she wants a baby. i had my first child at 17 1/2. although i do not regret him, cause he just turned 16, i wished i could of done things differently and chose a better man to be the father. his father and i are close but are no longer together. it rarely works out when your so young. you change and grow so much. does her boyfriend know how she feels? it would be unfair to him if she didnt talk to him about it. it would be selfish for her, the baby, and the boyfriend to bring a child into an unstable environment. tell her to think it over a little more. masturbation can be fun alone or with the boyfriend.
Reply:14?? okay, maybe you should tell her to come to my house
Reply:i think she should wait untill she's 18





my name is Jasmine i want a baby


but my boyfriend says i'm to young i'm 19

Me and my fiance are pregnant! We dont know the sex yet but so far we have picked out....





Jasmine Lanea for a girl

Quenton Michael for a boy.





Lanea, is our moms middle names put together, and Michael is my dads middle name.








Whats your thoughts?? Cute?

Quenton and Jasmine??
i love the names you both have pick out for your baby boy/girl, all the best
Reply:Those are great names.
Reply:The baby girl's name is so pretty





the boys 's is cute to





your really good at naming twins
Reply:Like your girl's name; dislike your boy's name. Quentin or Quenton--ugh--it's a prison after all. Guess it might be a saint also? Almost Anything goes with Michael--Kelvin Michael, Garrison Michael, Francis Michael, Eugene Michael, etc.
Reply:I prefer Quinn to Quenton.





Jasmine is okay.
Reply:They're both really nice names and I really like them. I wouldn't call them unique, but they're uncommon and won't blend in with all the Haileys and Madisons and Aidans and Jaydens.





Lanea is such a beautiful name. It's unique and classy and I think Lanea Jasmine is so much nicer.





I'm not crazy about Quenton, maybe Quinn Michael instead? Quenton seems a bit much, and I've always liked the name Quinn.





Yes they are cute names, and cute the way they are!! Gratz on your baby!!
Reply:yep really love them :)





not so sure on the michael part of it though. but still, very nice names. especially the girls. :)
Reply:Love them!
Reply:i like them both, very unique!!
Reply:Both outstanding, unique names. Good job for you!!! :)
Reply:Great names. Good luck!
Reply:yes very cute!
Reply:nice names! when's the wedding???
Reply:I really like Quenton (my sons name is Quinn).





Jasmine is very pretty.
Reply:I'm not too fond of Jasmine but i like Jaslene Lanea


and i would like Quenton better if it was spelled Quinton and then for short u can call him Q


but both names are cute Good Luck!
Reply:I dont think Quenton is that good of a name unless it is sentimental to you both. It will be hard for him to learn how to spell and might bemade fun of with that name.
Reply:congrats! my little brothers middle name is Quenton! i love them! my name is made up of middle names. they are soo original!

I have a plant which is a jasmine or a honeysuckle and it has Berry's growing on it?

i have a plant which is a jasmine or a hunneysukle and it has berrys growing on it where it flowered and my mun asked her mum what does it mean and my grandma said


it means we are in for a bad winter is this true and if it is what would happen in this bad winter i think the plant is a jasmine im not sure its ethier a Jasmine or a honeysuckle

I have a plant which is a jasmine or a honeysuckle and it has Berry's growing on it?
it's honeysuckle.


jasmine doesn't usually have berries.


i was told it would be a hard winter when a holly bush has lots of berries,


to feed the birds, over winter.
Reply:its probably a jasmine has it dark green leaves yes your gran is wright it will be a bad winter nature puts the berries on because it knows its going to be a bad winter so that the birds has plenty of food to keep them going
Reply:if the berries are in little bunches it is honeysuckle.take care the berrys are poisonous.


jasmine flowers with yellow flowers in mid winter when the leaves have fallen it is usually the last flower hibernating butterflys feed on,


usually peacock and red admirals


as for the bad winter we will have to see if grandmas right ,they usually are .


i have starred your question so that when you ask a question i will know and hopefully be able to answer it or pass it on to some one who can,


hope this helps
Reply:Well there are lots of jasmine and honeysuckle varieties.





Honeysuckle are very fragrant...Most jasmine are not as fragrant except for the Star Jasmine which is very fragrant.





No one can predict the weather....





However I will tend to believe your grandma and great grandma's prediction over any weathermans predictions.
Reply:Good if there Strawberries`il buy you a big tin of Cream`??
Reply:It is generally said that when shrubs have masses of berries on them it means we are in for a hard winter. I've seen berries on Honeysuckles, but not on Jasmines, we are growing both.
Reply:Not sure that there is truth to the old wive's tale about winter, but I do know that both smell beautiful. I have jasmine growing in my garden (actually climbing a trellis).
Reply:NOt sure about jasmines but honeysuckle does grow round berries, your grandma of course is totally giving you bull. Plants grow fruits or berries to reproduce themselves, simply shows that the plant is healthy and doing well itself.
Reply:It sounds like honeysuckle mine has small red berries at the moment. I have never heard of your Grandmas saying before. Maybe we might have a white Christmas.
Reply:the fruit plants bear have zero implications, insights, or effect. on the weather. plants are reactionary. so they can tell you what the weather was like. but not what it will be. no reason to argue or point this out to your grandma though. just smile and nod and listen to her 'old wives tale'. half the time old remedies or answers really work the other half they dont but if you call them out or prove them wrong old people have a tendency to stop giving you their wisdom.

How can I halp my jasmine to climb up the columns on my porch w/out sliding to the ground?

Last year I planted three confederate jasmine plants in front of the columns on my back porch. The jasmine has grown profusely and is circling the columns, but unlike ivy, it doesn't have the little "suckers" to help it to cling to the smooth columns. Any advice to kep it growing up the length of the column instead of lying in a pile on the ground?

How can I halp my jasmine to climb up the columns on my porch w/out sliding to the ground?
yes you can buy a trellis and and train it to climb the trellis
Reply:Jasmine is a twiner not a clinging type of vine. So you need to tie it in. You can use a soft string or even ladies tights cut into strips to tie it with. Hope this helps.
Reply:Try attaching bird netting to the post. This will not rust like metal or stain like copper but will give the plant something to cling to. This way, if you ever decide to change your plant, you can easily remove the mesh without too much damage to the post.
Reply:Jasmine requires copper wire to train onto a column. Get about a 10 foot piece and wind that around the column, then tie off the Jasmine and it will spread between winds. Be sure to use copper wire, not steel wire.
