Brown rice is the default rice in our house, but we always keep white rice in the pantry for quick meals. Steamed White Rice is versatile, inexpensive and easy to make.
Jasmine rice is one of my favorites, but I also like basmati rice. For years, I used the cheapest generic white rice I could find, and that works too. As I’ve tried different varieties, I get new preferences. Most of the different types of white rice can be interchanged. Some are starchier than others or more aromatic. Just pay attention to the cooking time listed on the package. That will tell you what you need to know.
