Jasmine Rice
Jasmine rice is the base of almost all Thai dishes. Thai jasmine rice is fragrant, sweet and nutty, and should never be substituted with other types of rice. You can learn how to make the perfect batch of rice here: How to make rice article.
Storage: Store uncooked rice in a sealed container. Make sure to check the bag when you buy it that it does not contain rice-eating bugs. Once cooked, rice should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten within 24 hours. It’s very common to get sick off old rice, so if you’re unsure, just make a new batch.
