Fluffy Jasmine Rice
Unlock the secret to perfectly fluffy jasmine rice by using a specific ratio that prevents gumminess. This fragrant, subtly perfumed staple is the ideal accompaniment for Thai curries, stir-fries, and Vietnamese dishes. By using slightly less water than standard white rice, you achieve distinct, tender grains every time without the need for tedious rinsing.
