Mai Thai AAA Jasmine Rice, (Pack of 1), 5kg

Product Information

If you rinse AND soak for 1 hour, you must reduce the water by 3 tablespoons (ie 1 1/4 cups minus 3 tablespoons) Cover the saucepan with its lid and bring the water to boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for around 9 to 10 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Add the washed rice to a pan of water using a 2 to 1 water to rice ratio. So for 120g of rice use 240g/ml water. The correct ratio is important to make sure the grains cook perfectly – not too dry or slightly soggy. Jasmine rice is frequently served at Thai and Vietnamese restaurants worldwide. It is not the rice traditionally used in Indian, Chinese, or European dishes. Fluff! Use a rubber spatula or rice paddle – this stops the grains breaking (Jasmine rice is softer than most white rices).

It is also a good source of iron and vitamins B1 and B3, with some calcium and potassium. It contains folic acid, which may help promote healthy pregnancy, and is high in fibre for a healthy digestive system.Shiwen Lin; Songkoon Chantachon; Sastra Laoakka (December 2013).

NO it is not! I have made so much rice in my time verifying this exact fact.

This vital step prior to cooking removes any excess starch, giving you more separate grains, and bringing out the Jasmine’s sweet, floral fragrance. Jasmine is very easy to grow. If you're buying a jasmine plant from a nursery or garden center, look for one with vigorous healthy shoots and leaves. You can plant summer jasmine in your garden in spring or autumn, although less-hardy varieties should be protected or kept in a greenhouse over winter. 2.
