What is Com Trang?

A fragrant, fluffy Vietnamese steamed Jasmine rice that serves as the perfect foundation for traditional meals. This reference files it under Vietnamese side: made on the stovetop, rated easy and about 25 minutes start to finish.

How long does Com Trang take?

Do I need to rinse the grain for Com Trang?

Step 1 reads: "Rinse 2 cups long-grain jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain completely." Yes.
