Jasmine rice is a long grain type of rice that has a distinguished, fragrant, flavor that is used in a lot of Asian cuisine. It comes from Thailand and is similar in flavor to Basmati rice. It has been described to have a nutty, “popcorny” flavor and is slightly sticky.
This rice variety goes by these names: jasmine rice, Thai fragrant rice, fragrant or scented rice, Kao Horm Mali.
The Golden Phoenix brand is said to be one of the most authentic and best tasting Jasmine rice brands, and can be found in most Asian food markets.
Common brand packaging in Asian Markets

Adding coconut milk and ginger in this recipe infuses their great flavors into this delicious rice. This side dish goes great with my Slow Cooker San Fransisco Chops, Chicken Tikka Masala, Maple Glazed Salmon and Honey Sesame Pork Tenderloin!
