About Mai Thai
Mai Thai is a premium Thai rice brand specialising in authentic AAA grade jasmine fragrant rice, known in Thailand as Khao Dawk Mali or Hom Mali rice. Thai jasmine rice is renowned worldwide for its exceptional quality, featuring long, slender grains that cook to a slightly sticky texture with a distinctive sweet, floral aroma reminiscent of pandan leaves and popcorn. The AAA grading indicates the highest quality of Thai jasmine rice, with whole, unbroken grains that have been properly aged to develop optimal flavour and cooking properties. Mai Thai jasmine rice is the perfect choice for authentic Thai and Asian cuisine, complementing dishes from green curries and stir-fries to traditional Thai desserts. The fragrant rice pairs beautifully with the bold flavours of Thai cooking while also working well with Chinese, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asian recipes. Naturally gluten-free and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, jasmine rice is a versatile store cupboard essential. Mai Thai rice is available at UK supermarkets in various pack sizes including convenient 2kg bags for regular home cooking. For the best results, rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch, and use slightly less water than regular long grain rice to achieve the perfect fluffy yet slightly sticky texture that authentic Thai jasmine rice is famous for.
