Notes
I know there are different philosophies out there about whether or not to rinse your rice but jasmine rice. However, if you do rinse it, you will be getting rid of the residual starch and ensuring your rice turns out fluffy. Otherwise, that starch can be gelatinized during the cooking process and you will end up with some sticky grains. Still, you are more than welcome to your research and decide what is best for you.
