What rice goes with what foods? I got a bag of Jasmin rice and a bag of basmanti rice. I also have some just "long grain enriched" rice.
What are good pairs for each rice?
I know basmanti is served with Indian food. What's served with Chinese food? What's served with Mexican food?

East Asia; Jasmine, Japonica, short grain rice variants
South Asia; Basmati, long grain rice variants

For East Asian, your retail options in the US will be primarily Koshihikari (short grain, good for Japanese, more expensive) or Calrose and derivatives (includes "New Variety" and "Nishiki", medium grain, workable for Japanese while also being workable for Chinese.)
Jasmine is good for Chinese but not good for Japanese at all, so it's probably best to compromise on Calrose until you want to specialize unless you have dreams of making sushi.
