    A lil reminder: The starchy water from washing the rice is perfect for watering your plants!! So you can reduce the amount of wasted water :))

      Yeah I did the finger trick once and ended up with gloopy rice. Its not any more effort to measure the water anyway. I don't see what the big deal is. Disregard Asians - measure the water.

    • @lozoft9
      @lozoft9 Před 2 lety +2

      Every pot is a different size but that doesn’t matter. As long as the sides are relatively flat, the ratio of the depth of rice to the depth of water is the same b/c the rice displaces the water.

    • @janem3575
      @janem3575 Před 2 lety

      I concur. When i stoppped using that method, my cooked rice was less mushy. My fingers are shorter than my sisters', so this technique doesn't always work. He said it himself, he's cup measured then tested it with his finger. They'tr not equivalent for him. If finger measure works for you, do it. If knuckle measure works for you, do it. I think the knuckle measure is most inaccurate, peoples' hands vary greatly in thickness

I was never really a fan of rice until I tried sushi rice about 8 years ago. I've bought a couple rice cookers since then and never tried cooking rice in a regular pot again. But tonight, the rice cooker broke after I'd already added the rice and water, so I found your video and thankfully chose the right one :) My adult son loved the rice too. Thanks again.

    @Noxius2k Před 3 lety +6

    my foolproof way to cook rice without a ricecooker: 1 part rice, 1,5 parts water into a pot. bring it to a boil while stirring. place the lid and wait 15 seconds so ensure that the pot is filled with steam. put the pot on a oven glove and wrap everything in a large towel. put this package into your bed and cover with all your blankets. after 15 minutes the rice is perfectly cooked but you can leave it for up to an hour until the rest of your menu is ready. burning and sticking impossible, you have more room on your stove, perfect every time and your bed gets warm, cosy and smells like a sushi restaurant :D

    I have been cooking rice in my home cookware, and I recently nought a Nagatani-en Hasagawa Kamado-San 3 gou rice cooker donabe made from igayaki clay, and it makes a world of a difference, I am still learning how to use it, how much water to add, and I bought some premium rice for it. Usually for me it takes 17-18 minutes for the steam to rise, and I let it steam for 2 minutes, and rest 20 minutes. The only problem is that you need to dry it out without the lid in an upside down position, otherwise it holds on to moisture.

  • @howward4071
    @howward4071 Před 3 lety +1

    I always enjoy watching people's takes on cooking rice. For a cup of rice I use 1 1/2 cups water, no rinsing, teaspoon of salt, 18 mins. Never sticky...always fluffy....perfect.
    I did leave out a critical step. I first toast the rice in a bit of oil until it becomes opaque. That is a common thing in some rice preparations.

    Worked like a charm, I used the colander and insert it into a medium sauce pot then rinsed with water from the faucet, twice. The third time, I let it sit int the water for 1 hour. Prepped my SPAM and made the marinade glaze for musubi in the meantime. (*Most important, I used a solid measuring cup for the rice, and a liquid measuring cup for the water)I brought to a boil, used a square washcloth and only needed to fold up the tiny triangle corners, so I didn't need the plate (induction stovetop anyway). Perfectly cooked, even though I worried about how little water there was.👌✅

    Looks good! I could tell you know how to cook rice by all the similar-like grandma/mama techniques you used (especially the rinsing and the advanced soaking) . Though I'd get smacked by my mama or grandmother if I pour in cold water to cook the rice. Though, its interesting that you do that. As an Arab, I've learnt how cook rice from my mama and grandma. Their rule (its also a general Arab rule) is to pour in boiling water/or stock if we're making biryani or other rice dish. We tend to start with sunflower oil in the pot and pour in the socked rice and stir for less than a minute. Then we add in the boiling water/or stock and cook on high heat for few minutes then lower the heat down to the lowest setting, cover and cook for about 15 minutes. We give it about 5-10 minutes (depends on the quantity) resting time with the lid on. 😁
