Jasmine Rice with Vermicelli

Aromatic Jasmine rice is a family favorite. I cook this rice often and serve it with meat, chicken fish or any vegetable dish. Although Jasmine rice is becoming more common in the United States and in Mediterranean cuisine, it is a native Thai rice, that’s slightly shorter than the long grain yet it does have a higher starch content. You’ll know when it’s cooked, because it releases it’s flowery aromatic fragrance.
