How can I get more flavorful jasmine rice?
Not sure how much rice you are making, but if making about 2 cups of rice, first heat 3 tablespoons of peanut oil over Medium High heat. Add the rice and toast it in the oil until it releases a nutty fragrance - about 1-2 minutes.  Then I like to use Chicken stock (3 cups) to finish it off.  Personal preference but I like to add scallions (green onions) and cilantro to the rice when it is done.  Cooking it this way I have not noticed a tremendous taste difference from different brands of Jasmine Rice.
