Dynasty Jasmine Rice

Ingredients: Jasmine rice.

Why the long rice? This long-grained rice, native to Thailand, is the stuff of dreams. Thai curries, Mexican cilantro-lime rice, and Tilapia and rice to start the list. Arroz con leche--say it louder for the people in the back craving dessert. We're not saying Jasmine rice holds the universe together. But also, probably.
