In Indonesia, it is only counted as 'eating' if we eat rice. Other than that, whether it's noodles, hamburger, pizza, sandwich, or fried chicken, we call it as snack.
😂😂😂so true
Same here lol! It's not a "meal" if it's not rice. Love the Asian solidarity!
Got that right... Also in the Philippines..
And that's why we eat noodles, pizza, etc. with rice. One more bizarre thing I found out that some people also eat fried rice with white rice.
True here in 🇰🇷 Korea. My grandma used to spoil me with all kinds of snacks and still asked me to stay for 밥 (cooked rice) and banchan (반찬, side dishes). 🍚 means everything for us.
To all people who aren't asian. Who eats rice morning, noon and night. I welcome you as an honorary member of the asian community. Enjoy your rice my guys.
Thank you *bows deeply*
Lol! Actually, rice is not solely an Asian thing
@@tonysradyografi3494 lol I know
@@tonysradyografi3494 Rice originate in asia tho. So it is an asian thing. You could say the same thing to pasta but pasta is an italian thing.
We also make wine from rice. We even make desserts with rice. 😁
This rice joke is so relatable. The broken coffee mug for measuring the rice, the water level measured upto the line of the finger, all that. 😃 Another Asian here from North-East India 👍🏻
Which line in the finger? I couldn't see it in the video
Middle on second finger it doesn't matter which.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. The first joint on your second finger.
😂😂😂i thought it a ceratain region in malaysia thingy hahaha apparently, it's not🦉🦉🦉😂
I am an Assamese from Assam,India and the whole video is so so relatable right from the sack of rice to the measuring cup to the finger line LOL.
Im Cambodian. My mom taught me the exact same way to cook rice. I'm dying in tears. 😂😂😂
I had to carry that 50lb bag to the house since i was 9 years old. 😂😂😂
It would be the end of the world if i came home with a smaller bag.
Same here. When I was in Elem. grade, my mother would send my sister and me to town to buy at least 10kgs of Rice and we would carry it on our head, walk back home for about 3kms.
Those were the days.😁😁😁
You know it's an Asian comedian when you end up learning practical life skills
🤣😂
Right!
My rice has been Perfect ever since I watched this Special! Jo Koy, hero
What heat?!
asia is always full of practical life skills
My wife is Japanese and I remember the first time she gave me the same exact instructions. Even questioned her over the finger line, to which she snapped back “just do it!”. Lo and behold perfect rice.
Every time. Lol
My husband is half Japanese. Exactly same way he taught me. Also taught me what good rice is! LOL😁
That's how I taught my boys.
I'm Italian. I can't cook rice for the life of me but my pasta is perfect every time 🤣
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. my wife also showed me what perfect pasta is as well. I grew up not liking spaghetti because it was always cooked for too long. Cooking good pasta is more impressive to me since so many people do it wrong lol
As a Jamaican, I find the finger measure for the amount of water 100% relatable. That is EXACTLY how my mother taught me to cook rice 30+ years ago.
That's right, people if you know you know okay, Caribbean island is, we know we know what it is. Is it the island people thing? I don't think so rhode island is so maybe okay we're related here we're relating
h🎉pncahqddadhqdh😢😮😮e❤❤
My mother was Japanese and I can so relate to three meals, dragging a 50 lb bag of rice, rinsing the rice, etc. This made me laugh and brought back the memories
my husband is filipino and this is literally how he taught me how to make rice.
So it totally true? Fill water to first line on finger?
@@tractorkid223 YUP
my whiteness couldn't understand and needed to know how many cups of rice and how many cups of water and this and that -- it. doesn't. matter.
any pan. any amount of rice.
@@tractorkid223 totally true, have taught my white Filipino kids this :)
Totally true. My wife taught me how to make rice this way lol
@@tractorkid223 measure the rice first with your finger, then measure water with your finger too (from the top surface of the rice), they must be equal.
as the daughter of a woman who was born and raised in Malaysia, i can confirm that whatever he says is 1000% accurate. "Last night's dinner with an egg" - what my grandmother cooks for me when I visit her
That is called saving food. We all have to do that specially in this economy.
🤜🤛
fellow malaysian here. we waste no rice.
The dinner was actually the lunch
@@reuk yup. For breakfast nothing much. Maybe nasi goreng or bihun or sumn.
Growing with friends who were Filipino. My friends mom would take last nights rice turn it into garlic fried rice and then feed us spam, Vienna sausage , eggs and bacon with banana ketchup. It was so good.
Banana Ketchup?
@@HK-47-hs9kf yep.
Hold on bruhh … Banana Ketchup ?. 🤩🤩🤯🤯
@@namchau7712 in Jollibee they use Banana ketchup. In McDonalds they use Tomatoe. Yep, in Philippines we use Banana ketchup
No ketchup please. Or banana for that matter.
I'm Malaysian.
What he said about cooking rice is so true. Same step we use here.
Especially the ancient secret about measuring the water.

Asian solidarity over rice is everything.
After reading comments it's seems to be a tropical phenomenon than an Asian.
@Chen Beixuan mainly it need lot of water to grow..
In rice, we trust!
Its no joke, i felt hurt when westerner treated rice badly. 😂
Asians love their rice
I was visiting one of my Asian friends one day and her mom had all kinds of dishes with rice.
Asians love their rice
I'm so Asian that if my husband phone home saying "honey, no need to cook, I'm buying you takeout" you best believe I'm starting a pot of rice right away. A dinner without rice is not a dinner, it's a snack!
Exactly
Exactly. 😂😂😂😂
I agree
Yup, we got Spaghetti...ther will be rice still to match other viands... menudo, fried chicken, fried fish, kare-kare..it is so much a buffet...whenever we celebrate...potluck is very common too.
Exactly 💯....A dinner without rice is not a dinner... it's a snack
The comment section is so nice and wholesome all asians agreeing and sharing happy thoughts about one thing they have in common. I hope we people are always this agreeable and the whole world will be such a better place
True. I am dutch, but i really do like the comments from you guys for the reason you mentioned😊
Craaaaap! I’ve been making perfect rice every time wrong my whole life!!! Is it because I’m Italian? 😂. My cousins wife is Filipino and I watched her make rice ready. She did the squish thing but what she did with that milky rice water after made my brain explode. She took it all outside and watered her plants and flowers with it!! Boom! She had the greatest most luscious gardens in the city!!!!!
THATS THE KEY TO PACMANS LEGACY THE RICE THING MAK3 US STRONGER!!
huh, recycling the rice water. good idea.
that really works. I can vouch for that too. Being a Malaysian, mom loves planting and she too uses that milky rice water on her plants. Work wonders!
rice water has trace minerals
True rice water is healthy for plants.
My families Jamaican and the human sized bag of rice with a cup, the rice washing and finger measure. 100% relatable
Truth!
damn i'm from malaysia that shit happens here as well
Preach!!!
It's the same in Puerto Rico too! It's not an Asian secret! :D
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
As an indonesian, totally can relate. Someone may eat bread already and they will tell you that they haven't got their meal cos if it's not rice, it doesn't count
this is so true, anything paired with bread is just considered a snack, you need rice to call it a meal
Same in the Philippines. You ask someone if they already had lunch and they'd say "not yet, I just had a burger". The burger doesn't count because it had no rice lol
Same here in malaysia if my mom asked what did you eat for lunch and if i said sandwich or burger she will say why did you eat junk food for her lunch and dinner must have rice😅
No nasi padang without the nasi 🙌🏼
Rice was actually Food for Royal Families before in Asia.
Am Nigerian, and this is exactly how we cook rice as well. It just feels weird if I don't eat rice in a day or two.
Me too, I cannot survive without rice too.😅
I'm Hispanic, my grandmother had a empty can of beans as a measuring cup and plastic empty butter containers for storing left over food in the fridge.
as a member of the Indian community, we can definitely 100% relate to this...
As a member of the Caribbean community, (Trinidadian here), we can definitely 100% relate to this... especially that measuring cup. Lol
As a member of Nepalese community, we relate to this hard too🙌
One must ask.. How does one become a member of such communities?🤔
As a member of the Indonesian community, this is all true
@@calihuntfish7163 you must renounce the use of any metric measuring systems. Lol
I'm Filipino but I grew up in Atlanta. Kids would ask me all the time, "do you really eat rice for breakfast?". I would just tell them with a straight face "Aint nothing better than rice and bacon...". A black girl a week later came up and told me "ya that rice and bacon is pretty good!"
down south so they prob do grits more than rice. I'm AA (chicago) I grew up eating rice for breakfast and dinner.
@@ariellumeer8458 what is grits
I love rice with bacon. Rice and corned beef hash too!
@@grass1659 corn
@@snobear. oh
Thanks
I'm Italian and I wanna say thank you for your wonderful comedy and yes even your wonderful cooking advice!!✨😘
I’m a Filipino and this method works most of the time with average amount rice in regular pots. However, if you only have to cook one cup of rice and with that finger method, that’s gonna be too much water. Or if 10 cups of rice with that method, it’s too little water. And also not all rice are equal, some are more tender and some are harder. It’s a hit and miss for a few times. Going back to the average type of rice you can buy, the amount of rice and water should be the equal using the finger method. Shove your finger down to the bottom of the pot, measure the level of rice with your finger, then match the water level.
yes … that’s how I do it … no matter how much rice you cook and no matter how big the pot is … cover it with the lid and let it boil … once the steam came out, turn the heat down, give the rice a quick stir, cover back the lid and wait for five minutes before turning off the heat …
If I'm cooking rice it is never 1 cup😂 there is going to be left overs for the late night snack of butter and sugar rice!🤣🤣
Who the hell cooks 1 cup of rice? If anyone does this your asian license is revoked!
This is actually the correct way to do it. :)
@@gustlightfall single people who don’t like leftovers lol.
"I am going to show you how to cook rice and I am not going to show you again." Literally the very words my Mother said to me when teaching me how to cook rice!😂😂😂
This is how you make sure the person you're teaching is 100% paying attention.
When students in class ask whether the teacher will send out the Powerpoint after the lecture, they're really asking "can I start ignoring you for the next hour?"
The only reply you get from every asian mom when you ask to teach you cooking🤣🤣.
Ironically she will do it every time you ask😅
@@ashwathjagannathan1685 lol that is so true. They'll show how it's done but they wont let you do it hhaaha
I’m Thai. Yes we have rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner even dessert lmao. Im sure you all heard of mango sticky rice. We even eat rice with ice cream lmao
In the Philippines we have Champorado which is essentially chocolate rice porridge. 😁🇵🇭❤️ And it serves as a dessert or a snack but mostly snack.
@@bhardnavares5903 that sounds so delicious, i’d love to try someday
Cambodians eat sticky rice cakes and lots of rice based desserts as well 😭
Haha yes the coconut iced cream and rice is so bomb! I’m Thai too, Sa wad dee ka❤️
😂😂😂
Everything he said about rice is on point especially that random broken mug as a measuring cup 😂
So relatable… rice is life for most of us Asians. I’m a Filipino living in the UK🇬🇧 and I teach my British friends the way Jokoy is sharing here, And In fact my husband knows to cook perfect rice the way we cook it and he’s amazed how 100% accurate and perfect it was the 1st time he cooked rice❤️
He’s a real comedian. Makes ppl laugh without bullying or insulting anyone. I like him 👍🏽
Ikr? His jokes always use himself and family members to make us laugh. No need for bullying others just to be funny.
He bullies his son in some of his jokes
So you're the ones that get our comedians shut down? Thanks a lot from Dame Edna.
Ok Thats such a karen-y thing to say
Wtf you talking about he insults people all the time lol
I’m Colombian and we are rice at every meal too. In college my roommate was from Taiwan. We never ran out of rice 😂and yesssss Colombians do the line on the finger too!!
Yes, yes, yes! I'm Colombian living in the US and my nonhispanic friends were shock at this fact. RICE IS LIFE...and lets not forget the recalentado for breakfast!
Yep, the line on the finger! 🇲🇵 (Northern Mariana Islands/Saipan) 🍚
Really. I didnt know that but now i know
As a fellow Colombian . Rice is life
I'm Peruvian : same here! We love rice!
I’m Palauan and this is exactly how we cook rice too! It’s true that a meal without rice is called a snack.
I would like to thank my Filipina Assistant for teaching me about rice dispensers. Had no idea! Life Changing! Now, if the apocalypse comes, I will always have 25 lbs. of rice on hand at all times to feed my face. Thank you, Jenina!
Every mother here in Philippines believes that it is lucky if our dispenser is always full of rice.
As an African American, Somehow I completely relate😞! Long rice, short rice, yellow rice, sticky rice, brown rice, shrimp fried rice, jambalaya rice, jolaf rice, jasmine rice, sugar rice! ALL we ATE was RICE!
Sugar and butter white rice on the breakfast table!
Facts rice and grits was the first thing I learned how to make
It's like watching Forrest Gump.
That sound delicious. I feel you brother
Then you are not just african-american. You're an African-American-asian brother.
As an Indian living abroad this bought tears to my eyes. This was emotional too me.
As a Indian living in India this bought tears to my eyes too, specially the part the ripped open rice bag near trash pile.
I love my rice 🍚 as Asian of course 😅 😅
But not all the time though 🎉❤
As I love my pasta , hamburgers, pizza etc.
thanks Jokoy , we love u! 🥰🥰
Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🇵🇭
OMG that's fuckin funny..i laugh a lot..that's so true..we Filipinos do that when we cook rice..😂
Rice holds cultural significance in many Asian societies. Buying a 50-pound bag of rice is often seen as a symbol of fertility, prosperity, and well-being. Having an ample supply of rice in the household is considered a sign of abundance and security.
Brings me joy to see how wholesome many of these comments are, with all these people from all over the world coming together, to speak of their love for rice. It is truly the perfect addition to any meal!
As a Member of the Indian community, I can say that rice is not an Addition to any meal. Rice IS meal! 😂😂
No rice no live!
Wdym addition? Rice IS the meal! lol
Well should try it with bread haha..
@@bharathsf I’m Puerto Rican and I came here to reply the same. Lol
As a Colombian who grew up in a household eating bowls of rice in every meal and had recalentado(leftovers) for breakfast, I wholeheartedly approve of this public service announcement. 🤣👌
🇨🇴 🇨🇴 🇨🇴
Thanks to you i know now what recalentado is. It's called BAHAW in tagalog😂
I’m Colombian, and I’ve gotten into the habit of making my calentaos in this nice wok I have. I cut salami like how Asian folks cut spam for pork fried rice and add it to my arroz con pollo, but cooking it first, than taking it out the wok, cook an egg in that leftover grease, scramble it and take it out , then put the calentao in to heat up and add the salami and egg towards the end so they don’t overlook. I gobbled that up so quick I forgot it was breakfast time lol was straight up a little kid mad happy with my plate of mixed rice.
Yup, always rice and them leftovers
We have been doing that here in the Philippines..My mother taught us how to cook rice using the middle finger second line in measuring how much to use..True enough , the rice is cooked perfectly...This has been practiced since time immemorial...handed down from generation to generation...This is an ancient secret in cooking rice...The same as that when we measure our waistline in buying pants..We just put the waistline of the pants around our neck and we can determine if the pants fits us using our neck..I tried to measure my waistline and my neck 2x ...well its equal..so accurate...
That's really true about the waistline! Not everyone does that. I've been doing that in a store and people will sometimes ask me what I'm doing. When I tell them it sounds crazy and they don't believe it. Ah, as far as rice goes, I have been using the official rice measuring cup for so long... I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that here. I think it's an old measurement in Japan, and the rice-cookers were designed around it. Every rice cooker is marked inside the pot for that. I think the measure of rice is called "go" or something similar and is 180cc. I think the wooden sake cups are the same measure, maybe I just dreamed all that.
You can eat rice even without any dish.
Rice with soy sauce
Rice with fish sauce
Rice with brown sugar
Rice with chili oil
Rice with kosher salt
Rice with fried garlic
Rice with banana ketchup
Rice with chocolate (champorado)
The list goes on and on !!!!
Half white- half Filipina born & raised in the Midwest, all of this is true. My white mom was taught the rice-water amounts by her mother who learned this lesson from her father who was in Korea to fight. My Filipino father was super shocked she knew how to make rice. Then SHE was shocked that she was expected to make it with every meal. Dad never did the 50lb bag, just the 25lb one instead. We were really happy when we bought a rice cooker.
I stopped using a rice cooker manu years ago. Tastes so much better cooked on the gas stove.
@@cwaccwac9323 I never could master rice in a gas stove. I couldn’t get the simmer right. I used the microwave or the oven before I finally got a rice cooker. The oven is easy, you just put in a glass casserole with a lid, or just foil, in the oven while the meat is cooking. The microwave takes the same time as on the stove, 20 minutes or so, but it always turns out right.
@@tranurse I've been cooking rice for 40 yrs. And no pot of rice turns out the same on the stove. I found the best pots i use now have lids with 2 tiny holes on the side. Bring to boil and when the you can start to see the rice as the water lessens I put the lid in and lower the flame to very low. Very low. Walk away and i come back to it when it's done. I cam sort of tell by the smell. But trust me. It isn't easy. But worth it as it tastes so much better than a rice cooker. I tried brown rice. I like the taste. But it takes way too long to make to get it right. So i stopped trying brown rice. I'll get brown rice when I'm out though.
@@cwaccwac9323 if you have an instant pot, brown rice is a breeze. Only takes 20 minutes once the pressure gets set.
@@cwaccwac9323 yep but you gotta check the rice when you start to simmer it. If you check too late the rice will be burnt at the bottom, too early will prolong the cooking process and might also make your rice soggy and porridge like. I agree with you that cooking it on a pot and in a gas stove is great and adds something to the taste of the rice but rice cooker is more convenient. Depends on what you prefer. 👍
I actually learned how to make rice from Jo Koy. First time making it, came out perfect.
Good job 😘
I'm not Asian but my mother taught me how to make rice the same way. Measuring the rice with my finger then putting twice as much water. Always a good start to a meal.
Tearing up right now remembering my mom teaching me how to cook rice. Miss her too damn much
I've never related to anything more in my life😂😂 whether you're Filipino or Desi, them 10kg bags of rice always sat in the same place in the kitchen with a random ass mug/cup😂
Sometimes an empty can of milk/sardines instead of broken mug lol
20kg even!!!
North East Indian too😁😁
True
10kg? That's cute ... 🤣
Everything he said is sooo true! My dad taught me to do the same thing when making rice. There’s a saying in Thai, “A house with an empty rice cooker is a house empty of Money”
*adds a rice cooker and 25-pound bag of rice to Walmart app shopping cart*
I'm East African, and I learned how to cook rice in a similar way. Only difference is that the pot of rice is covered in foil (mid way) and baked in the oven to finish.
That rusty tin can of sardines as measuring cup commonly called salmonan😁
Unya manghulam ug bugas sa silingan 3 ka salmon.. or isa ka gantang..😂😂😂
yeah that salmonan thingy lol. when your weekly rice budget fall short, goes to the neighborhood and ask to borrow (Isang gantang) 6 counts full of those salmonan and paid it when when Sunday comes as it is the market day for us living remotedly from the Town.
I'm an American born filipino and I eat rice and eggs for dinner after my 12 hour nursing shift...quick and delicious...
Rice and eggs is one of my favorite things. I grew up eating it. My husband calls it poor people’s food, but that just means more for me and my son. I’m not Asian, but my mom’s family was from New Orleans. My grandfather thought he was starving if he didn’t have rice every day
And you a nurse. Typical pinoy
@@ajgascon808 I’m white as can be, sorry. Like I said in another comment my mom’s family is from New Orleans originally. But I do work with many many Filipino nurses....
@@tranurse Pro tip? Try cooking rice on bamboo. Thank me later.
@@MarcoPolo-kb5dj put pandan leaf on top of the rice. It'll smell nice
It’s funny how i never cooked rice wrong after I saw him explaining how to cook it
It's the ancient secret of how to make perfect rice. That's why u don't messed it up anymore 😂
I learned from Jo Koy. No one ever explained it to me so I just use a measuring cup but the results are a mixed bag. After Jo Koy's clear explanation I knew how to make perfect rice.
@@winterwolf211 Awesome!😁
Congratulations
This is SOOOOOOOO relatable like damn I couldn’t hold it in 😂
As a Filipino myself yes, THIS is our lifestyle, (kinda) and yes, its not food if theres no Rice in it, everything is good with rice, Rice is everything.
My Asian brother/sister agree rice is life
Jo Koy always makes me happy. His life story is sooo relatable as a Filipina Canadian
"Rice for Breakfast, Rice for Lunch, Rice for dinner"
True Story.
Fax😆
Here at hime we have bread at breakfast, bread at lunch and bread at dinner.
Breakfast: Nasi Lemak
Lunch : Nasi Padang
Snack : Pulut Hitam
Dinner : Fried Rice
for Mexicans it's beans
In China, rice is cheap. In restaurants people dont eat them too soon. It doesnt get put on your table immediately. You eat all kinds of food. Before rice is served. Dont ask for rice immediately, that would be cheap.
I'm a Sri Lankan and I totally agree with him😂😂..I'm living the life that he explained to you guys😂😂..It's 2 am and guess what?..There's a small red light in the kitchen😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😜😜😜😜
🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅
I am in tears and laughing at the same time, my mom is from Spain and she taught me the same trick for cooking boiled rice. the very same.lol
LOVE it! 💗 My Filipina girlfriends all look at me and say "No Rice???" 😆
My grandma taught me that. She isn't Filipina, she's Native American, but it's so true. Perfect every time.
That's cause Kokums knows best!
Native Americans came from asia according to some theories hehe
@@Jeng23672 Yeah I heard that, but after doing DNA test we aren't from the Philippines. We are from other Asian areas though.
@@Cantetinza17 yes, from Siberia, modern Russia. Local nations still have some similarities in decoration patterns. And yes, Siberian nations do not have rice as staple food, it didn't use to grow there.

I was a sushi chef for 10 years , that is exactly how to make the perfect rice. 👌100% the truth
You're lying again
My Colombian ex mother in law taught me how to make rice, 2 to 1 ratio. One cup of rice two cups of water. She would advise me to wash the rice till the water was clear. She would finely chop scallions, add a teaspoon of salt, and drop a tablespoon full of vegetable oil in a pan and tell me to heat up the scallions until you could catch their scent dump in the freshly washed rice and add the two cups of water. Once the water boils down and there are bubble holes in the rice cover the rice with a pan lid and turn the heat down to low. Cook about 15 minutes or so, don't remove the lid, until the 15 minutes has passed. Fluff with a fork. Perfect steamed rice every time.
I'm Filipino yes, it's true ..I'm related too JOKOY
its not the first line of the finger. the 2nd line is hiw to make the perfct rice
@@maclynbeerli6499 no, that line is for making rice porridge.
OMG!!! 😂😂😂 Cooking the rice instructions?? SPOT ON with the middle finger and all!! LMFAOOOO!!! Rice with 2 over easy eggs with a little soy sauce!! Dinner! 💞 Rice literally with EVERYTHING in my house! Hotdogs, spaghetti, meatloaf, chili... Lol How I needed this laugh today!! Thank you!! Lots of love from Kansas!! 💞💖💞
In South Africa we only eat rice on Sundays after a blessed church service.
I'm Indian and this is exactly how we cook rice as well. Plus the old cup in the rice bag....100% true.
This is 100% accurate especially in South India.... Literally my breakfast, lunch and dinner is rice every single day.
@Chen Beixuan for me, i can eat 7 bread but that'll only lasts for 30 mins😂 rice can make me full for 3 hours
I’m Asian, and I mostly had rice for both lunch and dinner as a kid, but now, I usually only eat it most days for dinner, my parents were lucky enough to make western dishes occasionally for dinner.
Yeah. Im filipino. Bit i love india basmati rice.. simply the best rice . + Mutton curry . Its ova
Same all over India
In Myanmar, when we say 'meal' or 'eating', it's 'rice' - with a meat dish and a vegetable soup. Every other food is called 'snack' and they are eaten during hangouts (never as main meals).
An Argentinian here with a granma from Ecuador were rice is life too. This felt so relatable, since we are few the people owing rice cookers and loving that Red light on around here. Thanx jo koy!
Mexican here. We eat rice too. Fried egg on rice from last night's dinner is one of my favorite breakfasts! 😅
We call it Nasi Goreng here in Malaysia😁
I'm white and an asian lady from my church taught me the finger measurement 30 years ago. Perfect rice everytime.
This is the first recipe i was taught by my mom with identical instructions 😂
All Asians are united under the umbrella of perfectly cooking rice 🎉
This guy is genius... He tells the world the realities of filipinos and it comes out a joke
Being a Filipino, I used to measure the water with my finger when I was younger. When I got old, I just know how to estimate the exact amount of water. It's a skill every Filipino needs to know.
That's an advanced skill. Well done!
True. Used the finger when I was younger, now just look at it and stop the flow of water when you know it's okay. No need to measure with the finger.
That’s right. Just looking at the amount of water is good enough.
True!
Last nights dinner with an egg is the perfect way to describe Philippino breakfast 🤣
Or last night's dinner with a fish. Either way.jeje
Filipino
If you eat without rice, its a snack.
We were watching my gf’s kids, who are Asian, while she was on her hunny moon. One night we were playing a game where you had to guess the word from clue words. The answer was Earth, so my husband said “we live on this”. My friends daughter stood up, slammed her hands on the table and yelled out “RRRRRIIIIIICCCCE” ……one of the funniest moments of my life
As the daughter of Chinese restaurant owners, this is pretty accurate. My grandma always says it's not a meal if you don't have rice.
As a Jamaican , this is tooo accurate, especially the part with measuring cup, have me dead!!!!!!
omg that's exactly how I was taught to make rice! doubters doubt until they witness it working.
The cooking rice bit is so so true in EVERY ASIAN HOUSEHOLD.
The accuracy is right down to the “explaining to a white person”. My tall white boyfriend had been cooking rice the way it says on a box his whole life. When I showed him the finger trick he did NOT understand or believe me even after I’d been making it that way for him for years. In fact, he didn’t stop questioning my finger method until 5years later WHEN HE WATCHED JO KOY EXPLAIN IT!!! 🤦🏻♀️
There are rice... IN BOXES??!?
SOOOOOOO true! 😂😂😂
@@joselkimdelacruz5127 Yes!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Kick him in the shin, please 🤣
Jo Koy is hilarious. I'm Hmong-American and that finger technique was taught to me by my mom also.
When I saw this years ago I just thought I’d give this way of cooking rice a try. Never stopped doing it haha, perfect rice every time.
Never a dull moment of Jokoy , makes my day so LOL ....
I'm Chinese but why is everything he says the same, even the finger for measurement. OMG this is so funny.
cuz were asians ❤❤
@@kyriellepunongbayan6909 You're Right 🤣🤣🤭
Cause all Asians are the same that’s how we measure our rice
The Korean word for “meal” is “rice”.
So, when a Korean says “did you have rice?”, they are actually saying “did you eat your meal?”.
By the way, “did you have rice?” is an informal Korean greeting, like “hi friend!”
Same with Hmong.
Whoa...
I am no Korean but I am so obsessed with kpop and kdrama I started to learn Korean gradually and noticed what u said. glad that it wasn't my assumptions hahahaha
@@ali-yen18 same with nagas too
Cambodian too!!! “Have you eaten rice?” 😂
That moment when he point out the finger to measure water... We do that exactly.. ,🤣 can't stop myself to laugh ly ass off
He is a Real Stand up Comedian..no bullying joke neither insulting person...it's so plain, real and simple.. that's why I liked he's Jokes.
As a person of the Asian community: wait... other people didn't know that?
No we do. Google exists. Also my mom taught me to make rice like that and I'm white.
Not alot of us
Not an ancient secret anymore 😂
😆
I didn’t!!!
Ya, we Malays do that too. That freaking line. Works every time.
Im half Filipino, any time my mom and I would go to the Asian store for rice. I had to lug that big ass bag all the way out to the car. Oh the memories.
I lived in the Philippines for almost five years. Rice was everything. I was taken aback when one of my little metees told me he's eaten everyday of his life, ans he wasn't joking.
Beautiful people
Was very close friends with an Asian girl in college. Her mom is Filipina and her dad is Thai. I can confirm the giant 50lbs sack of rice that is kept in the kitchen and a constant supply of cooked rice to eat with whatever is available at anytime you want. As a non-asian I was honored that woman trusted me in her kitchen! Guess it's because I genuinely loved the food she made and was willing to try new things 😊
Damn, that nylon bag ripped open with a a regular mug inside is all I saw as a kid on both sides of family: Chinese and Dominican. 😌
My boyfriend and I legitimately almost got into an argument while I was trying to explain the rice trick to him over the phone while he was cooking last night.
“What about the amount of rice?? What about the size of my finger???”
“I DON’T KNOW HOW ELSE TO TELL YOU IT DOESN’T MATTER”
Leave him. Find a real Asian man. :D
Somehow this man makes everything feel relatable
I never thought about it until now. it's so true. my mom's kitchen is always overstocked with rice. rice to the east is like bread too the west. it's sacred. my mother never throws out rice. she always feeds whatever's left over to birds.
As a white person I genuinely appreciate this tip
I agree with this guy!
It helped me as well
Enjoy your perfect rice! 🍚
100% !!
I mean it's the easiest rather than doing measurements and shit. 🇵🇭 Tried that once, my rice ended up soggy and porridge like but when I came back to the old finger trick... perfect rice! And also more convenient if you use a rice cooker.
My son just came from Philippines. My husband who is white Canadian is a chef. One late afternoon he started cooking, like steak, pork chicken etc. He sliced it up and serving the food to us. He cooked a lot of meat and I was so full then later he whispered to me and asked when are we going to have a supper ?
I laughed because we didn’t have rice😂😂😂😂
You can take this joke Jokoy😀
My son passed away, I miss him
🙏
permit me to share Chinese mythology. 1 day in heaven is 7 earth years. this means that your late son whom immigrated to heaven will only wait an few heaven days to see you again . while on earth it is ( I hope) healthy and happy years for you and family.
Lol ..I took care of a Japanese lady, and she showed me how to cook rice exactly like that. I was laughing so hard, I had to watch it twice. Thanks
Never in my life has cooking rice ever felt so empowering. Hell yeah, Asian pride!
Honestly, that's how my mother taught me to cook rice and I learnt it that way. Every Asian mother's guide on how to cook rice is just like that.
I bet this teaching has been passed down for generations
💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Just discovered him & all the Netflix cuts! I was laughing so hard! The leftover rice w/ egg for breakfast is spot on! :D
Rice water level "secret" is spot on. Perfect rice. Every time.
