It’s cherished for its delicate, soft, and slightly sticky texture when cooked, and its signature fragrant aroma reminiscent of pandan leaves and popcorn.

Understanding Premium Jasmine Rice

Jasmine rice, often “Thai Hom Mali” rice, is a specific variety of long-grain aromatic rice. The “AAAAA” grading typically signifies a high standard of quality, with well-milled, whole grains.

• Distinctive Floral Aroma: Its most prized characteristic is its natural, delicate, and appealing fragrance that blooms during cooking. Forest Hen Brand aims to deliver this authentic scent.
• Soft & Slightly Sticky Texture: Unlike the very separate grains of Basmati, Jasmine rice cooks up soft, moist, and slightly sticky, making it perfect for eating with chopsticks or for dishes where a little cling is desirable.
• Premium AAAAA Quality: This grading suggests superior grain length, minimal broken grains, and excellent overall quality from SRF (Swedish Fine Rice & Food).
• Versatile for Asian Cuisine: The go-to rice for a vast array of dishes, from simple steamed rice to accompany curries and stir-fries, to more elaborate preparations.
• Authentic Taste Experience: Essential for recreating the authentic flavors and textures of Southeast Asian meals.

Culinary Uses for Forest Hen Jasmin Ris

• Steamed Jasmine Rice: The perfect accompaniment to Thai green curry, red curry, Vietnamese pho (as a side), Chinese stir-fried dishes, and countless other Asian main courses.
• Fried Rice: While slightly stickier than some other varieties, it can be used to make delicious Thai or Chinese-style fried rice (best with day-old cooked rice).
• Coconut Rice: Its aroma pairs beautifully with coconut milk for a fragrant coconut rice.
• Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niao Mamuang – if using sweet glutinous rice, but Jasmine can be a substitute for some): While glutinous rice is traditional for this Thai dessert, some use Jasmine rice for a less sticky version.
• Congee/Rice Porridge: Can be cooked down into a comforting Asian-style rice porridge.

Cooking Instructions for Perfect Jasmine Rice
General instructions, always refer to the pack for SRF’s specific guidance

1. Rinse: Gently rinse 1 cup of Forest Hen Jasmin Ris in cold water 2-3 times, or until the water runs mostly clear. This removes excess surface starch.
2. Water Ratio: For stovetop, typically use a water-to-rice ratio of about 1:1.25 or 1:1.5 (1 cup rice to 1.25-1.5 cups water). For rice cookers, follow the cooker’s markings or use a similar ratio.
3. Cook (Stovetop): Bring rice and water to a boil in a pot. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Do not lift the lid during this time.
4. Cook (Rice Cooker): Add rinsed rice and water to the rice cooker and switch it on.
5. Rest: Once cooked (either stovetop or rice cooker), let the rice stand covered and undisturbed for at least 10-15 minutes. This allows the steam to finish cooking the grains and makes them fluffier.
6. Fluff: Gently fluff the rice with a fork or rice paddle before serving.
