I'm a Texan and I use Texas white rice.  Is there a difference? I'd probably hurt our Texas heritage if i use otherwise...

[foodwishes]

this should work with any long grain white rice. btw,did you see the Texas clip on the website?

[jaredsfa2004]

yep...lol, instant heart attack!

[foodwishes]

but what a way to go.... dont mess with Texas! or their Chicken Fried Bacon!

I just tried this recipe and it worked great. I substituted a cup of coconut juice for a cup of water though and it worked out really well. I love these videos, i've cooked so many of you recipes so far, they're great

[foodwishes]

Thanks, and great idea with the coconut!

You should really wash the rice until the water runs clear before hand.

I think what you have there is probably just long grain white rice. Genuine Basmati is exclusively grown in north India (Punjab) and Pakistan, however RiceTec is an American company that bought a patent for the name Basmati and is fooling many people.

And although basmati grown in the states (ie. california) typically isn't aged as long, and is of lesser quality due to climate limitations, buying locally grown food is a very responsible food choice to make (eco-friendly).

Keep on cooking!

Can this work with any brand of long grain white rice?

[VanillaIcedLatte]

thank you chef john! i can cook tasty white rice now!!

[bugbread]

@spamjammer23 You can't patent a name. You're thinking "trademark", but that's not what RiceTec did. Instead, they crossed two genuine varieties of basmati, creating a third, and patented it as "basmati 827", which they sell under the name "Texmati". If you buy "Texmati", you're buying genuine basmati made by RiceTec. If you buy any other basmati, you're buying genuine basmati made by someone other than RiceTec. That's all.

Basmati really should be rinsed before its cooked. Authentic basmati should barely have any stickiness at all.

THANK YOUUUUU I tried it and it came out PERFECT!!!

[ivokk]

ahaha, california basmati. please

[supercooled]

I just like the neutral taste of Basmati. I tried adding chicken stock (boulien cube) and it tasted like fried rice.
