Guide to Choosing the Perfect Rice for Asian Cooking at Home

Not sure which type of rice to use for Japanese, Korean, or Thai dishes? With the right choice, every recipe can turn out perfectly – whether you’re preparing sushi, curry, ramen, or Asian desserts.

For sushi rolls, go for authentic short-grain Japanese sushi rice. Its natural stickiness and shiny texture after cooking make it ideal for perfect maki or nigiri. Thai jasmine rice, with its delicate floral aroma, is perfect for curries and stir-fried dishes – it stays fluffy and absorbs sauces like coconut milk beautifully. If you're making traditional Korean tteok or desserts like mango sticky rice, choose glutinous (sticky) rice.

We also offer 22 cm rice paper for spring rolls – just soak briefly, fill with crispy vegetables, glass noodles, or chicken, and roll for a fresh, healthy no-cook meal.
