The owner of my favorite Chinese restaurant told me years ago that he uses Jasmine rice, exclusively.  I, in turn began buying it to make myself. I use it frequently in any rice dish, including my Arroz y gandules. I love it. @Leggett28  you mentioned Trader Joe's frozen Jasmine rice; they also have it dry, on their shelves, along side their regular rice. It's also very fragrant and good!

Just had it the other night  Just as a side dish.

I like jasmine rice in all recipes, but I really like it best in rice pudding.

I also use Jasmine rice, love the nutty flavor with any dish!

@Boomernichols  You can use this or another rice called basmati as you would any rice. I usually will cook these with a little more water than they call for, takes about 20 minutes to cook.

This is more like the old fashioned long grain white rice (nd these pretty much are) but with flavor.

One rule that I learned is to precook and refrigerate the rice (any type, jasmine and basmati included) if using in a stir-fry dish of vegetables and maybe some protein such as chicken, pork or shrimp.

Jasmine does have a pleasant aroma, but that is secondary to me when it comes to texture of the dish being prepared.  Any rice can "make do" in that case, as long as it is firm and not too mushy,

A naysayer here.  Just hate jasmine.  Sort of Earl Grey tea, just no.  And I love rice and have most days.

I was raised on short grain brown, and still like it.

Jasmine rice is the only kind I use, and I use it in everything.
