    HI Erik could you please let us know how much Water was used in the end, a certain measure would be of great help as I don't want rice to be soggy, or undercooked..

    • @thomassullivan1207
      @thomassullivan1207 Před 4 lety +5

      I believe at the point you put the water in, you should use the recommended amount of water for that rice if cooked regularly, maybe a touch less. So 1 cup rice is usually 1.5-2 cups water, depending on the rice. I always use a touch less.

  • @jrsimmons12
    @jrsimmons12 Před 6 lety

    I just found your channel and I'm in love. I so admire the rich cultures of Latin America and I especially love the cuisine of Mexico! These videos are wonderful! Did you guys end up covering the rice to simmer at the end? I couldn't quite tell. Thanks for the videos, I'm surprised you don't have a lot of subscribers :/ need to change that!

      Thanks, Carlos! You know it is never too late to start your own CZcams channel! I asked myself "What would I do if I won the lottery?" and my answer was travel around the world and eat the best local cuisine available in each country. Of course the best food is always made by grandmothers, so I decided to create this show with the hope of making my dream a reality. I hope you will tune in for my new season about Thailand! And the next stop is Italy!

      Typically it's two to one, water to rice. It can vary depending on the cooking technique. It's a guess, but she had what appeared to be a four cup measuring cup and it was about half full. I used this recipe yesterday and used two to one and it was very satisfied with the result.
