Light, fragrant jasmine rice steamed until fluffy, with distinct grains that hold shape without sticking. A neutral, dependable base for stir fries, curries, and any dish with glossy sauce.
Designed to absorb sauces from stir fries, curries, and braised dishes. If rice seems too firm, add 2 tablespoons water and steam 2 more minutes.
If too soft, reduce water next time to 1 3/8 cups. Rinsing is optional but recommended for restaurant style texture.
