Jasmine rice is a long-grain rice with a fragrant, aromatic flavor and slightly sticky texture. Named after the jasmine flower, it is primarily cultivated in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. It is commonly used in Asian cuisine, particularly in Thai, Vietnamese, and Southeast Asian dishes. Its cooking methods include stovetop, rice cooker, or instant pot. To maintain its texture, it is recommended to rinse before cooking. Jasmine rice is widely available in grocery stores, supermarkets, and specialty Asian markets.
