Red cargo rice is a Thai long grain milled to remove the outer husk while retaining its layer of bran. As a result, it has a reddish-brown hue and contains more nutrients than regular white rice. It requires a longer cooking time and results in a chewier texture than jasmine rice. Its nutty flavor makes it a hearty accompaniment to curries, fish, and meat. We also like combining it with stir-fried vegetables for a filling salad.
