Beat the summer heat with this seasonal favorite.

With the temperature rising, it’s time to tuck into the seasonal favorite of khao chae. These spots will deliver right to your door.
 
How to enjoy khao chae: pour the jasmine-scented water in a bowl of rice, add a couple cubes of ice. Always start with the savory side dishes and nibble some fresh vegetables along the way. Don’t put the side dishes in your bowl! They will overpower the fragrant water.
