I just would like to say thanks to you I learned how to cook Puerto Rican rice being full blooded Puerto Rican I had to learn I had to subscribe to your Channel very inspiring now I'm trying to learn how to cook full time thank you much appreciated
@@JoyfulYessi only 15 minutes why does other videos say like 55 and stir 2 or 3 times im trying to learn to perfect this dish so I'm just picking brains?Will the rice be cooked and not hard in 15 minutes?
Made this rice today. My friend makes the rice this way, she said it’s the quick easy way. Her Mom makes it a little different with tomato paste, olives, and she makes her own Sofrito. I’m so happy to find your quick and easy recipe. My rice was so delicious.
@@Modelchickny I’m so glad that you found this recipe useful for you! People have so many different unique ways of making it and they are all so yummy 🤗 I totally think homemade sofrito is so much better than the frozen one. Since I like to keep things quick and simple I I made a video a while ago with a super quick and simple way to make it.
I personally don’t, but I know some people who do. Different people like to make there differently. There really no wrong way, you could do it with or without, whichever you like the most 🤗
So I made it tonight I watched your video and did exactly how you did it except I did 2 cups of rice and did it in my pressure cooker I am glad I had sofrito it packs a lot of flavor and I used ham and black beans. Omg!! my kitchen smelled so good and it came out delicious at least to me it did lmao!!!!
Yessi, thank you so much for posting this easy recipe. At church we have been studying about missionaries in Puerto Rico and I thought it would be great to make this. I watched several more complicated recipes and I had almost given up before I found yours. Do you rinse your rice? How many people does this serve?
In so glad you found it helpful! Everyone e had their own way of making it I like to keep it simple 🙂 yes only like one or two times. I think maybe this portion might serve 8 depending on how much gets served 🤗
Hey Yessi the Arroz con Gandules was really good and delicious I used medium grain rice and I used Crisco vegetable oil but as the result it was a plus
Awe thank you!!!! I just love making and sharing some of my favorite traditional foods 🤗 there are several things that come to mind for breakfast, many are fried 🤣 but I’ll see what I can do.
Hey Yessi, i really enjoyed your video, ive been cooking for years but was curious about other techniques relating to this wonderful Boriqua dish, great job with your instructions and beautiful, personality you had me rollin with the ( DONT BE TEMPTED TO REMOVE THE TOP OR EVEN LOOK AT IT ,JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.... LMAO
👏Yey!! Way to go!!!! 🤩I’m so excited for you!!! Congratulations on making you very own batch of Arroz con gandules! And thank you so much for sharing your experience and watching!!! 🤗
Good suggestion on the kielbasa. I once tasted some habichuelas guisadas that a restaurant made but with kielbasa. I like the kielbasa. Will think about using that for the rice. Gracias y Dios te bendiga.
I am still trying to learn how to make this grew up with spanish friends and still couldn't get it right oh wait got it right 2 times lol thank you hopefully I can get it right the third time I think I always get the water to rice ratio wrong. I love your video you were so on point and I liked don't touch it just walk away lol
I’m so glad that you now have finally got it right 😆 it took me a while of experimenting myself to get the ratio right lol when I first made my first batch it was just mush 🤣 I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you for watching 🤗
Just made today and it came out delicious. Thank yu!! I notice yu didn’t dump out the gandules water can, next time I won’t either. But still good 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
I’m so glad that it turned out delicious for you! I personally keep it because I like the taste but other people dump theirs, either way is good 🤗 thank you so much for sharing your outcome! 🤗🤗🤗❤️
Definitely give it a try! I personally not a fan of mushy sticky rice 🙂 so o hope mine turns out well for you! Can’t wait to hear how yours turns a out 🤗
Absolutely! You can use beef hot dogs instead like Nathan’s Famous, small diced chicken or you can choose to not use the meat at all. I’ve Made this before with out using meat before. For the flavor packet, they also sell beef or chicken flavor instead of the ham flavor. It’ll have a different taste but still will be tasty 🙂
There are so many ways to make it! My mom makes it with the long grain too 🙂The great thing is that the more you make it the more you feel confortable giving it your own spin and personal touch! I love that you use olive oil.
Good question! I use medium grain rice, so the amount of water I use is always equal to the amount of rice I use. Some people might change the water measurement if the use a different grain like long grain. 🙂
That’s a very good question 🙂 people have so many different ways to make this. I think the amount of rice and the grain of rice you use plays a role on that. My mom uses long grain, and she cooks her’s much longer than I do. I always use medium grain. Also if people are making more rice I think it would take longer to cook. It always amazes me how many different ways people make this. For me, Once the liquids soak up, I give it one good stir cover it for 15 min come back and it’s done 🤗 keeping in mind that while it’s boiling, the rice is also cooking before it’s covered. If I left it up to 55 min, I think my rice will burn lol
I just would like to say thanks to you I learned how to cook Puerto Rican rice being full blooded Puerto Rican I had to learn I had to subscribe to your Channel very inspiring now I'm trying to learn how to cook full time thank you much appreciated

Do u drain the liquid from tge gandules?
I personally don’t, but I know some people who do. Different people like to make there differently. There really no wrong way, you could do it with or without, whichever you like the most 🤗
I can't find the ham kielbasa what other one do you recommend?
You can use any type of meat your would like, ham, kielbasa, sausage, hotdogs or no meat 🤗
How many quarts is your pot?
This pot is about 3 quarts 🙂

I think you’re one of the best chef and also I was wondering if you know any puerto rican breakfast to make that’s healthy and just the usual meals?

Thank you! We love the kielbasa! Amen & Dios te bendiga también! 🤗

Yes, yes very good, I been making this party rice for years and I am black. I am always asked to make it for all occasions ❤️

Definitely give it a try! I personally not a fan of mushy sticky rice 🙂 so o hope mine turns out well for you! Can’t wait to hear how yours turns a out 🤗
That rice CANNOT be missing! For real.
You got that right! 😁
My brother's wife makes this.
When I try, I never smell the gandules
Add a can of tomato sauce (Small ) gives added flavor. Oh yeah you can add salt too plus the adobo.
I love to hear all the different ways people make it 🤗
Im of Mexican descent, I am going to try this rice.
Can’t wait to hear how it turns out 🤗🤗🤗
Hi I don't eat pork what can I use to substitute?
Absolutely! You can use beef hot dogs instead like Nathan’s Famous, small diced chicken or you can choose to not use the meat at all. I’ve Made this before with out using meat before. For the flavor packet, they also sell beef or chicken flavor instead of the ham flavor. It’ll have a different taste but still will be tasty 🙂
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much !!
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching 🤗
I use long grain rice and no pork, I use extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil
There are so many ways to make it! My mom makes it with the long grain too 🙂The great thing is that the more you make it the more you feel confortable giving it your own spin and personal touch! I love that you use olive oil.
I’m confused about the water. I thought if you use 4 cups of rice you’re soppose to use 6 cups of water??
Good question! I use medium grain rice, so the amount of water I use is always equal to the amount of rice I use. Some people might change the water measurement if the use a different grain like long grain. 🙂
Even with 4 cups of rice, I use less water. Maybe 4-5 cups
My Tití told me the same thing lol, DON’T touch for 15 minutes! Lol
😂 it’s so tempting not to😂
Thank you for this recipe goddess! You are so beautiful
Thank you 🤗
How come I see people cook it for 55 minutes and this video is only 15 minutes? I'm just asking I wanna perfect this dish?
That’s a very good question 🙂 people have so many different ways to make this. I think the amount of rice and the grain of rice you use plays a role on that. My mom uses long grain, and she cooks her’s much longer than I do. I always use medium grain. Also if people are making more rice I think it would take longer to cook.

If I left it up to 55 min, I think my rice will burn lol
My rice gets done in 20-25. I use boiling water, that is why 8t cooks quicker
You made me laugh with the "walk away from the pot".
it’s very tempting to open it 😂😂
When you said “Yesenia” I thought of my aunt with the same name and I don’t even know if she can make party rice 😬
😂😂😂
You look so young. Too young to be a good cook! 😊🦾❤ Thank you!!!
Awe thank you! 🤗
When you mentioned the pan I don’t know what it meant can you tell me sorry in English LOL
A “Caldero” pot is a cast aluminum pot that come I. Different sizes that some people use to make their rice in 🙂
Aka...🇵🇷Party Rice!
I’m going to try this recipe for the 4th of July. I will let you know how it turns out. Wish me luck. 💜🫰🏼
Awesome!!! Have fun making it and I hope it turns out yummy 🤗 can’t wait to hear how it turns out 🙂
How do I get your recipe sent to my email address
