Tips & Variations

FAQs
Can I use regular rice instead of jasmine rice?
Yes, you can use other types of white rice, but cooking times and texture may vary. Jasmine rice offers a fragrant aroma and slightly sticky texture that works well in this recipe.
Do I need to rinse the rice before baking?
Rinsing the rice is optional. Leaving it unrinsed helps maintain a bit of starch, which can result in a creamier final dish.
