Hi! I made your recipe but it came out a very gummy consistency. I used Jasmine rice, is that why? Any other recommendations to avoid the gummy consistency? The flavour was great!

@KensGreekTable 3 жыл бұрын

Oh no. Typically jasmine rice is stickier than other rice . Sounds like that was the issue. I usually use either basmati or plain long grain white rice....

@johnlafleur9251 2 жыл бұрын

If you soak Jasmine rice in water for 15-20 minutes before starting, then strain, it will remove much of the starch which causes the gumminess.
