JASMINE RICE



Jasmine Rice image

Provided by Andy Ricker

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups long-grain jasmine rice, preferably from Thailand
2 cups cold water, plus additional for rinsing

Steps:

  • Rinse rice: Place rice in a fine-mesh strainer set inside a large bowl. Fill the bowl with enough cool tap water to cover the rice by an inch or two. Use your hand to gently stir the rice, 30-40 seconds; then lift the strainer from the bowl. The water in the bowl will be cloudy from the rice starch. Empty the water, set the strainer in the bowl again, and repeat the process until the water that covers the rice is mostly clear (probably two or three changes of water); the rice grains will begin to look translucent. Discard the water in the bowl; set the strainer on top and let the rice drain, about 5 minutes, gently shaking the strainer occasionally to get rid of excess water.
  • Cook rice: Place the drained rice into the rice cooker in an even layer. Add 2 cups water; the level should be close to an inch above the rice (or the height of one knuckle above your forefinger). Add more water to reach this marker if necessary. Close the lid and turn rice cooker on; rice is done when indicated by the rice cooker. Once done, let the rice sit in the rice cooker with the cover on for about 15-20 minutes. Don't skip this step: it allows some of the moisture to dissipate as steam, and some to get reabsorbed into the rice. This keeps the rice from clumping and gives the grains a chance to cool slightly, so when you fluff the rice, the grains don't break apart.
  • Fluff rice: Open the rice cooker and use a spoon or fork to gently separate and fluff the cooked grains. The rice will keep for several hours after fluffing in the rice cooker on the "Warm" setting. To serve, pack a small bowl with rice, level off the top, and turn it over onto a plate; lift the bowl away to uncover a tidy dome of rice. (Store leftover cooked rice in a covered container in the refrigerator, 1-2 days.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for this recipe. These rices have a delicate flavor and cook up fluffy and separate.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. Rinsing the rice removes the starch, which helps to prevent the rice from sticking together. It also helps to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use the right amount of water. The general rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using and the desired consistency.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Once the water has come to a boil, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. This will help the rice to cook evenly.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring the rice while it is cooking can cause the rice to become mushy.
  • Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb the remaining moisture.
  • Serve the rice with your favorite dishes. Lavender rice and jasmine rice are both delicious served with a variety of dishes, such as curries, stir-fries, and roasted meats.

Conclusion:

Lavender rice and jasmine rice are two delicious and versatile dishes that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With their delicate flavors and fluffy textures, these rices are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make side dish, give lavender rice or jasmine rice a try.
