How do you cook Jasmine Rice??

My daughter gave me a 5 lb bag of Jasmine Rice. Does anyone have any good recipes?


I have tried making rice before but it always came out sticky and horrible. Is there a difference between Jasmine and long grain rice?


I heard that you should soak it in water for a couple hours before you cook it. Is that true?

HOW TO COOK JASMINE RICE





2 1/2 cups Thai jasmine rice


3 cups water





Place rice in a small saucepan (approx. 2-1/2 qt). Rinse rice by running cold water over two or three times to cover and pouring the water out. This rids the rice of excess starch powder and broken rice which makes the cooked rice mushy and sticky. Add just enough water to cover the top of the rice by 1/2-inch (approximately 3 cups).





A convenient trick is to place your middle finger, just touching the top of the rice in the pan. The water level should be just below the first joint of your finger, from the tip. No measuring needed.





Cover the pot with the lid. Place over medium to medium high heat. Bring to a boil.





Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, another 10 minutes, until the water has completely evaporated.





Turn off the burner and allow rice to sit, covered, for at least another 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature (especially with spicy curries). Serves 2 to 3.
Reply:considering a 5 lb bag of rice, I assume your daughter bought it at a foreign grocery market.





As a rule I rinse Jasmine rice, whether it says New Crop on the bag or not. You need not soak it for hours however, just a quick rinse in a colander to remove any excess bran, shake well and you're good to go.





Now cooking it might be different.


Boil the water, stir in the rice, lower the heat, then place a folded towel over the top of the pot, making sure none of the towel is long enough to reach the burner, and then place the lid on the pot, trapping all the steam.


DO NOT OPEN the pot.


After 10 minutes, take the pot off the stove.


LEAVE IT ALONE!


After 5 minutes, fluff it with a fork.


Great, aromatic light flavor.

Jasmine is a kind of floral green tea. That is, the green tea is left alongside some jasmine flowers to absorp its fragrance. It is just another type of green tea.

Is jasmine rice a refined product?

is jasmine rice (white color, not brown) refined or not?





thank you..

Is jasmine rice a refined product?
Refined?





I'd say yes... the rice is white so the hull has been removed through a milling process.
Reply:processed by removal of the hull, but not technically "refined"
Reply:Jasmine rice (Thai: ข้าวหอมมะลิ; kao hom mali) is a long-grain variety of rice that has a nutty aroma and subtle flavor. This rice should be rinsed before cooking to rid it of extra starch. The grains will cling when cooked, though having less amylopectin, it is less sticky than other rices. Most households in Thailand consume this type of rice and it is commonly found in supermarkets, this type of rice is mainly used for many types of rice dishes or plain white rice in Thailand. Hawkers and most commercial establishments do not use this type of rice for cooking due to its high price.
