Cooking Jasmine Rice

 

Rice is so important to many Asian countries. In Thai, to have meal we say 'gin know' which literally means 'eat rice'. It is the same in Chinese. In Thailand, rice is not a side dish, it is the central dish and all other things that you eat, support it. In a Thai meal, you generally eat more rice than anything else and it serves as the foundation for the food pyramid.

This rice and rice recipe is for the fluffy white rice that you see with 90% of Thai dishes.
