Thai rice

Thai rice, also known as jasmine rice, is a variety of fragrant rice native to Thailand. It is famous for its distinctive jasmine aroma and slightly sticky texture after cooking. Thai rice is typically long and thin, with grains that tend to stay separate when cooked. This makes it a popular choice for stir-fried rice dishes, side dishes, or curry dishes. It is also appreciated for its visual presentation, with its long and delicate grains. When cooking Thai rice, it is generally recommended to rinse it in cold water to remove excess starch. Then, it can be cooked in a pan, in a rice cooker or by steam. It is important to respect the appropriate proportions of water to obtain a good texture.
