Jasmine rice, also known as Thai fragrant rice, is long-grain and originally from Thailand. Thai meals are never complete without a bowl of jasmine rice. No other substitutes can compare to jasmine rice for the way it balances out the flavors within Thai dishes. The precise amount of water used is the secret component to jasmine rice perfection.
