How is Jasmine Rice used in Thai cooking?

Jasmine rice - khao hom mali - is Thailand's famous fragrant rice, grown across the country and prized for an aroma that hovers somewhere between pandan and warm popcorn. Cooked, the grains are soft, slightly clingy, and gently sweet. There's a white version and a brown one that keeps its tan bran layer, which holds more fibre and nutrients. It's the everyday rice of the central and southern table; in the North, sticky rice still leads, but jasmine rice is the soft, fragrant counterpart most visitors picture.
