What to Expect from Jasmine Rice
Jasmine rice is naturally aromatic, with a subtle fragrance that becomes more noticeable as it cooks. The grains are long and slender, and when prepared properly they stay soft and slightly tender without becoming sticky like short grain rice. This makes it ideal for serving alongside saucy dishes, grilled meats, stir-fries and curries.
Compared to standard long grain rice, jasmine rice has a slightly softer bite and a more delicate flavour. It absorbs sauces well while still holding its shape, which is why it is commonly used in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking. Longdan selects and mills the rice to maintain consistent grain length and reduce broken pieces, helping it cook evenly and present well on the plate.
How to Cook for Best Results
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. This removes excess surface starch and helps keep the grains separate after cooking. A general guide is to use around 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cover with a lid. Cook until the water is absorbed, then turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 5–10 minutes before fluffing with a fork or rice paddle. This resting stage allows the moisture to distribute evenly and improves texture. Jasmine rice also works well in a rice cooker if you prefer a more hands-off method.
When Is Jasmine Rice the Right Choice?
Longdan Jasmine Rice is suitable for everyday meals, from simple rice and vegetable dishes to more elaborate curries and braised meats. It pairs especially well with Thai-style curries, Vietnamese dishes and Chinese stir-fries, but it can also replace standard white rice in many Western recipes. If you want rice that is soft, fragrant and versatile, jasmine rice is a dependable option.
