How to cook rice jasmine Videos

Your ease and grace in the kitchen make learning so easy :) Its hard to believe, but I can roast a turkey, duck and lamb shank along with a multitude of sides dishes........but cooking rice on the stovetop----MISSION IMPOSSIBLE :( Hopefully your technique will succeed me to the next level!

I used to use my fry daddy to make jasmine rice, boil the water, add the rice, and turn down the heat. Eventually I just invested into a rice cooker,lol. Rice cooking is a great skill to know. Its simple but a crucial technique to master especially for asian dishes.

Thanks Paula - I rinse some rices, but the enriched long grain rice I usually don't rinse b/c of the nutrients in it. I'm thinking I'm going to do a vid about rinsing b/c I had quite a few questions about it. I hope your garden is coming along well :)

i luv jasmine rice lila, it's soooo good especially fried.....i'm making it tomorrow, my son wants general tso chicken, rice and my homemade chicken eggrolls. i made extra last time and put some in the freezer for quick snacks or sides!!!

You are so sweet, thank you very much for this information. I followed your instructions and it came out perfect! Thanks for the decorative tip using the cup, I did that too and everyone was impressed. :)

Hi Art, washing the rice just takes away any impurities that may be in it. I usually wash imported rices, but I don't wash the enriched rices like the regular long grain white rice :)

Yea Jasmine rice is very aromatic and fragrant. Its usually good with coconut water and lime juice. Caribbean flavor and tasty. Or herbs like basil pick up really well with it.

I always enjoy trying new rices but i've never got round to trying it :D think i will now ! Is the taste quite distinct or does it taste like normal white rice ?

Great video lila,i m new to your channel.great videos.what does the washing to the rice do,wash the starch away to make it less sticky? Thank you, Art

this is tradition way to cook the rice which i still like it.a lot of Chinese don't use this way any more because they have rice cooker.

You just need to let the rice boiled first and then turn a very low heat in 15 minutes until the water absorbed and then turn it off.

You make everything look so easy. You're an excellent teacher as well as a cook. I gotta get myself some jasmine rice.

I'm the queen for perfect steamed jasmine rice and i know you are not suppose to open the lid 

Thanks Lila!! My rice cooker recently broke and I've had a hard time making traditional rice! (:

Thank you - I hardly ever use a rice cooker - I just think it's easier to make it in a pot :)

I've hardly ever used a rice cooker - to me doing it in a pot is easier - Thank you Sunny :)

Oh that sounds delicious! Your son is so lucky to have a mother to cook such great food :)

It has a pretty distinct flavor, although I like the flavor basmati rice a bit better :)

Jasmine Rice nice I eat it everyday love the smell when it is in the rice cooker YUM!

I really like the saucepan that you used in this video. Can I ask what brand it is?

Thanks a bunch!! Really wanted to know how to cook rice without a rice cooker.

+Jessy77251 Hi Jessey77251, I have always wash my rice then soak it a little before boiling. Washing helps to remove any insects etc., that may be present in packaged rice. I think most people do not like to wash it because you are washing away the aroma and flavors. Either way, the boiling temperature will kill any insects. I love Jasmine and Basmati rice a lot. Thank you Derona for the video and that rice looks yummy!

+Marvi Kachhelo Depends on what kind of rice your making! Always follow directions on rice package!! ENJOY!! -Deronda :)

i agree with you and always rinse them before cooking them!

+Joslyn Vargas Awesome & you're very welcome...Joslyn!! ENJOY!! -Deronda :)

+anahita1 Full instructions for making Jasmine Rice is below video...Anahita! I find that 15 minutes of cook time for Jasmine Rice (or until rice absorbs all water) creates the prefect texture and nutty flavor!! ENJOY!! -Deronda :)

+Dora Hidalgo Bunches of thanks...Dora!! Southern is correct!! -Deronda :)
