Thank You for not adding music...it is appreciated.
You've convinced me to get a rice cooker
looooool
It's a good investment!
Thats kinda rude
embalmed 🙌🙌
@@leylahacioglu2562 how?
Growing up living on Guam for 5 years we ate rice for almost every meal and we got good at making it. Rinsing makes such a huge difference in flavour.
Everyone: just trying to cook some rice real quick
CZcams comments: B B EA U TI F U L

The way I learned to do it is a hybrid of your recommendations. Use 1 part rice to 1 1/2 parts liquid. Bring water to roaring boil first, then add the rice, cover, and immediately reduce the heat to lowest setting leave alone for 15 minutes, then check a few grains to see if soft to liking, and check if water is remaining. If there is, cook for 5 mins longer, if rice was soft, without a cover, if it wasn’t soft enough yet, with a cover. Check again and repeat for up to 5 more minutes if needed. When done, fluff and cover to keep warm until ready to serve. I use this for all types of rice, including jasmine, and works well when cooking larger quantities but for smaller quantities, 2-4 servings, I’ve had to reduce the water slightly except for brown or wild rice.
She's so pretty.
Emma Izing well the channel is called hotthai
Me agree
I had to watch the video twice! After the first view I forgot that it was about rice!!!
Boom boom???

You have a 200watt smile, woman.
thanks for this, rice came out perfect!
+mosshark that's two incandescent bulbs worth of wattage.
mosshark lol
moshallllllllllllllllllll99what rice do you recommend for fried rice ?
Thank you for finally explaining this. I grew up in Thailand but we always used a rice cooker. I always impressed my friends with Thai recipes I grew up with but whenever I'm caught without a rice cooker it was a rice disaster!
First time cooking rice and it came out so perfect!!! Will be using this method for the rest of my life thank you!
4:02 "In the beginning..." I thought you were going into a story about the creation of the world while you were cooking. Damn, that would have been epic.
LOL! She's Thai. There's a high chance that she's Buddhist. 😂😂😂
@@hoodieangel4621 right
Right mab
In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened...
I thought the same thing hahahaha
My mom buys jasmine rice and I didn’t even know haha
So I do agree it’s the best rice
(Btw we are Hispanic and Japanese)
Lol that’s a new one
Jasmine rice is nice and fragrant!
Damn the food in your house must be awesome
Nice, Hipanese =)
same!
This lady knows how to teach.. thanks Pai!
This is how you cook rice! Dang it I was too pissed after seeing the lad from BBC make rice
I think it's worth mentioning that the lid of the saucepan must be kept in place (ideally with a glass see-thru top) and one should resist lifting the lid until it's just about done (no observed movement).
The best instructions I have ever received about cooking rice.
Cooking rice is truly a science. Loved this video! I've always believed that if you can cook perfect rice in a pot, then you are already an amazing cook!
She deserves 1 billion subs.
Super helpful. This is the very best instruction I have found for cooking rice. Everything so quickly and logically explained. Thanks a lot Pailin.
My wife is Thai, and her family have a rice farm North East Thailand (Ratanabury), she cooks this rice straight after just one hand wash, and it comes out sticky, just the way she likes it.
I cook my rice just the way you do, but I am 'not allowed' to cook it that way in front of her, or for her:))
Geez! She is a bossy Thai, for sure, but I love her:)
A new crop of rice has a lot of moisture, which dries out as the rice ages. it comes out sticky for it is slightly overdone, because of the excess moisture in the grain.:)
Where did you meet her?
You have yellow fever.

....very cool.....😂 😃 😄 😅
To anyone considering trying this, I used this method and it worked perfectly!
You are one of very few CZcamsrs I see that are so descriptive. Very helpful. Thank you for the tips and trick. You now have a new subscriber
Really great video!!! Thank you!! I have been cooking rice for years, and always get great results, but it is really interesting to see chefs cook the basics and check their method, as it reflects on their other dishes. I am now going to check out yor other recipes, as this was so thorough and explained everything! You are the tops for Thai cookery! Again, Thank you!
Excellent presentation! You did answer every possible question. Bravo
This is by far the best rice cooking video ever. You've explained everything thoroughly. Thank you. Btw, jasmine rice is also my favorite type plus I'm going to make fried rice soon. Thanks a lot..😄
Just watched 6 different ways to cook rice on the stove top all which looked decent but with no proper instructions/info I feel this video is awesome great and amazing thank you!
... and check out the written section if you haven't already hot-thai-kitchen.com/how-to-cook-rice/ Cheers! Adam
I always learn so much from this chef. Wonderful recipes.
Love your tutorials Pai! Thank you for sharing!!
Watched this video, followed steps, and made THE BEST fried rice I've ever had!!!!!!
The best strait forward with explanation of what to do how to do and why to do without all the bs. I love your how to without the bs. Great work
Perfect. I love jasmine rice. Thai's have perfected the process. The International Rice and Research Institute in Los Banos Philippines had a lot of Thai scientists and that continued education helped them produce some of the best rice in the world.
Pailin thank you for your knowledgable instructions I just wanted to know how to cook rice but I got so much more information
Best info on cooking rice that I have seen on CZcams. Thank you.
Loved the step by step process, my rice came out really well and I loved it . Thank you
Thank you so much! I'm out of town right now and forgot to pack my rice cooker! First world problems 😅 Luckily our room has a kitchenette and I'm going into withdrawal without rice! Also wanted to add (just in case anyone is interested), another method is to steam the rice. Many traditional asian methods use a woven bamboo basket and I swear it is the best way to get the most amazing aroma with jasmine rice!
Thank you! It was very helpful because I always burn my rice cooking that way. I guess I had the heat to high & in a rush trying to get it cooked too.
Absolutely spot on.. first time i tried it this way instead of my usual way and it was perfect..👌I'll be using this method from now on.. many thanks 🙏
Great video. Absolutely answered everything small detail I wanted to know!
My Chinese friends taught me that the layer of water over the rice should be up to the first knuckle of my index finger. Always works for me.
For "Asian" dishes I mainly use Basmati or Jasmin rice. However, I found that Persian long grain rice (Sadri) is the best, though not cheap and not always available.
What should be mentioned is: DON'T USE PARBOILED RICE EVER. Seriously.
What exactly is parboiled rice? What kind of dish is it used for? I ask because I have that in my pantry haha
@@jaydude7165 I know it’s a year late but parboiled just means it’s been partly preboiled
Now I know what I’ve been doing wrong this whole time. Thanks!!!
I followed your instructions and the rice came out perfect. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the crash course on cooking rice. Your beauty makes the video all that better. ❤️
I'm in love with your show i've made a lot of dishes that you showed me how to make for my family and I always turn out so great because you give Greg instructions you're the best 🥰🙌🏾😜
Well this is the clearest rice tutorial there is
Best explanation on the web. Listen to her. I finally learned how to cook rice
Excellent instructions. Rice turned out perfect!! Thank you!!
As a Malaysian, I agree. Beras Thailand is sold at a premium over here.
I watched every episode..... very interesting.
I’m so proud that most people from Hawaii have rice cookers and would know what to do if the rice cooker breaks. The amount of water you are taught when you are young is marked in your mind on your middle finger from experience.
The person teaching you would would set the mark by adding the APPROPRIATE amounts of water after washing using their personal imaginary mark on their middle finger: from the top of the rice (leveled) in the pot of rice and water to that mark on their finger. You would then touch the tip of your middle and remember forever the water level in pot in relation to your middle finger. Easy-
The cooking process is BOIL at high heat till water is almost evaporated without cover and STEAM by covering and turn to low low heat. Easy-
I’m not Asian but Hawaiian ethnicity and so the jasmine smell and taste is foreign to me. My preference is Japanese rice which I believe is the best tasting rice. Aloha🌺
love your videos. you are well spoken and your execution of recipes is excellent!!!
I think I'm quite a difficult person to impress, but I really love your videos. You don't waste time or words, but include so much delicious detail, and alternatives, and what-ifs. I'm in awe of the way your mind works, and feel sure that you could be a brilliant engineer, or data analyst, or designer, or whatever task you set yourself. Thanks for making videos!
I made some jasmine rice today and it came out perfect! I have never tasted jasmine rice in my life and it is delicious!
i come back to this video often. i dont eat a lot of rice. i mess it up often. rinse 2x, boil, turn down to lowest temp, let it go for 15-20 min. ty for helping me finally make decent rice.
Thank you for such a nice video, and taking the mystery out of cooking rice perfectly! And you have such a great personality and million-dollar smile! 🤩
I just cooked up some rice per your exact directions and it came out perfect for the first time in my life! Thank you!
Thats Wonderful... I hope I will have the same experience
Fried rice lady watching this after she made the mistaked fried rice.
Lol
Fried rice lady just happened to use an uncommon, unpopular way to cook rice after all. At 7.02 Pailin explained it.
This rice lady mentioned the "BBC" style of cooking rice and I guess it actually is a thing. Haha
I glad you came back in your show video
Pauline I am happy to see you again in New
Video
love this video thank you can't wait to try, thank you for taking the time to do it
Best video on how to make rice! I love you Pai !!!
Can't wait to purchase your cookbook! By the way, your sieve idea is brilliant....I've been making rice for years and years and never thought of doing that. Thank you!
+lani S. Yah, and then you just give it a rinse, don't even need to wash it :)
Thanks!
lani S. Same here!
In India, a muslin cloth is used in place of a sieve.
This was PERFECT!! Thank you soooo much. Always shy away from rice but this is the deal!!!
I just followed your instructions and my rice turned out perfectly! Thanks so much!
Finally got jasmin rice , I ordered mine!!
Thank you for this!! I've always had the problem of wet rice, I think it was a combination of not washing it enough, adding too much water, having the hob on too high, not putting the lid on and not cooking it for long enough. I did exactly what you said and my rice was perfect, woohoo!!
give you a little trick, when cooking rice, add a little bit of oil to it. Just a little. You will make it much better.
Very helpful, thank you for taking the time to make the video.
Pauline, what a refreshing cooking channel. I will look around to see what you have on your menu. Thanks for this.
Thanks for the affirmation. I've been cooking rice exactly this way for years and have had perfect rice every time. Also, in my opinion, Jasmine rice is, by far, the best and tastiest rice on the planet.
My rice looked like mashed potatoes... close enough i guess.🤷♂️
Lol
Lol😬
Risotto? Lol keep trying Ryan!
Ohh no
1 cup of rice=1 cup of water
Thankyou so much. I made the rice as you directed and it came out perfect. First time ever. 👌👌👌🖖 very appreciated🌻
This video was so good, great quality and very informational
FINALLY!!! 😁😁I FOUND A VIDEO THAT ANSWERD ALL MY QUESTIONS AND HELPED ME UNDERSTAND🤗. THANK you so much!!! Now I will feel good next time I cook rice 😉😎
I am 1/2 Chinese and love this recipe of yours but like Basmati Rice I can't eat scented rice but looks great anyway!
I have just tried this method, and Viola....nice, crisp, chewy, fragrant rice !
The old ways are the best IMHO.
Many Thanks to Pailins Kitc.
I love this video when you touch on 'fried rice' secret. Thanks...
F me man. My rice came out perfect. I never ate such good rice before. Here in Germany we normally just throw that bagged stuff in hot water for 15min and that's it.
I was thinking that Germany allways does stuff perfectly 😎
@@adrianadrian7672 always???
If you cook rice wrong after watching this video, there is seriously something wrong with you!
I couldn't even cook rice with a rice cooker
I just burned the pot fml
😂😂😂
chewchew As faded as i was. I burnt the rice.
ay.. depends on the rice also.. best just to get 'parboiled' rice.. much easier...
Wow thank you so much for making that SO easy! great energy and the tips are very helpful too!
Came out perfect. Thanks!
I agree with you Thai Jasmine is the best. Pai, have you ever made a strong Jasmine tea, let it cool and then use it to cook your rice with? I find it boosts the floral flavour.
That's too jasmine fragrant. HAHAHA
How do u make the tea
I’m gonna try this.
I blend Pandan leaves and drain for the juice add it in your rice what a bomb fragrance Jasmine Rice
Coconut rice is out of this world too 👍👍👍
My rice came out perfect thanks!
Made it, turned out perfectly!!!! Thank you!!
Thank you. Excellent instructions!
Filthy Frank brought me here with all his rice raps.
I seldomly cook jasmine rice much anymore. I grew to love Indian food and how their basmati rice grains all stayed apart from each grain and if cooked properly doesn't clump. I believe if most rice lovers would experiment with basmati rice they would much prefer. The two tricks I have learned to cook great rice stovetop are.... Get your pan very hot, add 2 tbsn oil and then add your raw washed rice to pan and toast your rice for 60 seconds then add your water and cook your rice accordingly. Also, once my rice is cooked and totally done, to prevent clumping, I try and get as much steam out of the rice quickly. I use a mesh screen I purchased to use when I fry foods it is a screen i use to prevent all the grease splatter. I lay this screen over top of any type bowl, spreading my rice out over the screen to allow air to enter from beneath the screen . i move the rice around stirring allowing steam to escape
Let me just tell you that after YEARS of having a hard time with ´rice making´, I finally decided to lookup HOW to make the perfect white rice. I found your video and ... OMG is the BEST rice I've ever made. it´s fluffy and just the perfect texture! I´m sooo happy! Thank you for sharing :D
Amazing explanation. Thank you!
Thx for the video Lovely Lady! :D
About 20 years ago a Chinese resterant owner showed how he cooked rice before he had a rice cooker, it is perfect every time. First wash rice in a strainer till water runs clear sit strainer in something (a cup will work) let it drain for 20 mins. Put drained rice in a pot add same amount of water as rice, cover pot, turn stove on high till water starts spitting from pot under lid, turn stove to lowest setting for 7 mins turn stove off and let pot sit for 15 mins. Rice will be perfect every time.
What kind of rice was this?
Herman F thanks!!
LucilleB jasmine rice
I'm Cambodian, I also use Thai Jasmin rice daily and cook over the stove the same way if I don't use my electric rice cooker. Great videos, btw, you are very knowledgeable and explained everything so well.
My rice game is terrible. But this woman just definitely took me up a notch thank you
I agree with the one pot situation. You retain the essence of the rice.
Thank you so much I am a Asian and like we need to eat rice every single day thank you for teaching me
I also LOVE washing the rice for my mom
OMG…I just made your rice and it came out just right! Thank you!
Just used this method. Perfect. Thanks.
Greetings Pailin
I watched you video on cooking rice and you mentioned you use Janmine rice, but I only use basmati rice. Is the cooking method the same?
Cheers Giles
Once I learned how to steam rice my life was changed for real. Great tips here for beginners :))
how did your life change with rice cooking? we eat rice everyday. But my life never changed.
I think I would call steamers the be best for beginners, it's very simple without really having much to "learn", as long as you follow the couple of steps, it's foolproof. People the Mid-East, India, Asia, the Pacific Islands have been making excellent rice using the pot and water method for many centuries. Her tips aren't just for beginners, I've seen many people struggling to get consistent results for many years with the pot method. Most people with older family members from the traditional cultures of the regions I mentioned, have no problem making perfect rice because the pot method has been handed down and seems perfect normal and easy to them. I learned from my Asian grandma must of made rice for my siblings and I, many thousands of time, she has been gone many years, but we will never forget her making rice all the time, I think of her with lots of love all the time. I don't need to waste kitchen space (I have too much in cooking gear already) on a rice steamer.
Ordinary white rice is good, but the aroma of Thai Jasmine rice is amazing.
