Lion Head Jasmine Rice 10kg

Description

Lion Head Jasmine Rice 10kg is fragrant, slightly sticky long-grain rice from Thailand — soft and tender once cooked, with a delicate floral aroma. It's the classic pairing for stir-fries, curries and grilled meat or fish, and just as good served plain alongside West African stews.

How to cook

• Basic method: 1 cup rice to about 1¼ cups water, simmered 15 minutes, covered, off the heat.
• Rinse once or twice before cooking — jasmine rice doesn't need the heavy rinsing basmati does.
• Let it stand covered for 5-10 minutes after cooking, then fluff gently with a fork.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from moisture and pests.
