What Is Thai Brown Jasmine Rice 1kg?

It’s commonly used in Thai, Vietnamese, and Asian cuisines, but it can also be paired with Mediterranean and Western meals. The 1kg pack offers an ideal size for meal prepping, family meals, or for enjoying hearty rice dishes throughout the week.

How to Cook Thai Brown Jasmine Rice 1kg

Cooking Thai Brown Jasmine Rice 1kg is a simple process, though it takes a bit longer than white rice due to the bran layer. Follow these steps to cook it to perfection:

Stovetop Method:

1. Rinse the Rice: Place the rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water to remove any excess starch. Rinsing helps prevent the rice from becoming too sticky and ensures even cooking.
   
2. Boil Water: Use 2.5 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. Bring the water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
   
3. Add Rice and Simmer: Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice. Stir once to ensure the rice is evenly distributed, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. If the rice is not fully cooked, add more water (a little at a time) and continue cooking.
   
4. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for about 10 minutes. This step helps the rice steam and become fluffier.
   
5. Fluff and Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and serve with your favorite dishes.
   

Rice Cooker Method:

1. Rinse the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
   
2. Add Rice and Water: For 1 cup of rice, use 2.5 cups of water in the rice cooker.
   
3. Cook the Rice: Turn on the rice cooker and let it cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
   
4. Let it Sit: After cooking, let the rice sit in the rice cooker for about 5 minutes before opening the lid. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
   

Microwave Method:

1. Rinse the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
   
2. Add Rice and Water: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of rice with 2.5 cups of water.
   
3. Cover and Microwave: Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
   
4. Let it Rest: Allow the rice to rest for 5 minutes after microwaving. Fluff with a fork before serving.
