Am I a heathen, or are there others out there just like me?

Unless I'm cooking a dish that calls for short grain sushi rice, Jasmine is my go to.

I love the way it smells, but it usually doesn't come out as soft and fluffy as I like my rice. I do it in the rice cooker, so I'm not sure the issue. I assume user error.

Then don't eat it. Was that worth a thread?

Jasmine rice is my rice of choice 98% of the time. A lot of time, it's the about dishes that complements it.

A hundred bucks says that you don't rinse your rice which makes all the difference in the world. Use equal parts water to rice.

I don't think the rice cares for you to much either.

I don’t rinse jasmine. Jasmine rice requires about 1 3/4 cup water to 1 cup of rice.

My ratio is 1.5:1 and I don’t rinse the rice.

Well this could explain my issue then. I'll have to try that. Its always too crunchy for me when I make it 1:1.

Boil it like pasta instead of the typical simmer method. Helped me get my jasmine and basmiti to a loose and fluffy texture like you get at Thai and Indian restaurants.

Wash rice.
Fill pot with water.
Add salt to water.
Bring water to a boil.
Add rice.
Boil until al dente.
Drain.
Eat.

This is my new and improved method. I quit using the simmer x 20 min with lid on method as I would end up with sticky mush. I sometimes use a rice cooker for ease (after washing rice till clear). After I got some high end Basmatti rice from the AZ store, I started using your method and it comes out just like Swaggat.

Also it only takes about 6-8 min
