Jasmine Rice Recipes

Jasmine rice is a long-grain aromatic rice known for its soft, slightly sticky texture and delicate floral fragrance. It is a staple in many Southeast Asian recipes and works especially well in dishes where the rice should be tender, fluffy, and flavorful.

Use jasmine rice as a base for Thai curries, stir-fries, rice bowls, grilled meats, coconut rice, fried rice, and simple weeknight sides. Its subtle aroma makes it more flavorful than plain white rice while still being versatile enough for both bold sauces and lighter vegetable dishes.

For the best results, rinse jasmine rice before cooking to remove excess surface starch, then cook it with a measured amount of water until just tender. Let it rest covered before fluffing so the grains finish steaming evenly.
