(Four‑Grain Premium Blend)
This four‑grain blend combines the fragrance of jasmine, the fluffiness of basmati, the tenderness of white rice, and the cohesive chew of sticky rice. The result is a beautifully aromatic, soft‑but‑structured mix that works for bowls, curries, grilled meats, and Asian‑inspired dishes.
Because sticky rice absorbs water differently and basmati cooks faster than jasmine, the key is balancing the ratio and water level.
This guide gives you the exact water measurements, settings, and timing that work in any rice cooker.
⭐ Why Mix Jasmine, Basmati, and Sticky Rice?
- Jasmine adds aroma
- Basmati adds fluffiness
- Sticky rice adds cohesion
- White rice balances the texture
- Works with curries, bowls, grilled meats, and stir‑fries
- One‑pot convenience
🥣 Ingredients
For a standard batch:
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- ½ cup basmati rice
- ½ cup sticky rice (glutinous white rice)
- 2 ¼ cups water
- Optional:
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil or coconut milk
📏 Perfect Ratio
Sticky rice absorbs water quickly; basmati absorbs slightly less.
1 cup jasmine + ½ cup basmati + ½ cup sticky rice → 2 ¼ cups water
If you double the recipe, scale everything proportionally.
🍳 Step‑by‑Step Instructions
1. Rinse all grains thoroughly
Sticky rice is very starchy — rinse until water is almost clear.
2. Add all grains to the rice cooker
Mix them together in the inner pot.
3. Add water
Use 2 ¼ cups for the 2‑cup grain mix.
4. Add salt or oil (optional)
Oil helps reduce stickiness.
5. Choose the right cooking mode
Use one of the following:
- White Rice (best — balances all grains)
- Quick Cook (works well)
- Mixed Grain (works, but may over‑soften sticky rice)
6. Let it rest for 10 minutes
Sticky rice finishes steaming during resting.
7. Fluff gently
Use a rice paddle — the mixture will be soft and cohesive.
