The Path to Perfect Rice Begins Here

- As time goes on, I'm learning that basic advice like "follow the instructions on the bag" can actually be helpful. But if you follow the rice manufacturer's recipe and something's always wrong, there's also some troubleshooting advice in here. Start cooking perfect rice today (or mess up once today and master rice tomorrow).

In my attempt to simplify something, I actually neglected the simplest solution of all. I must reflect on this watershed moment in shameful solitude for a few months. While I’m gone, consider buying a rice cooker.
Internet Shaquille for a few months huh? awww mannnnnn
And the good thing in using rice cooker is you can do other things while waiting for the rice to cook and its very easy to clean
Internet Shaquille you crack me up man🤣 have a good day brotha
You'll be back... Gotta make hay while the sun shines (RUclips's algorithm)
Actually as someone who doesn't have room for a rice cooker, I appreciate that you showed the stovetop method
Dude really said “follow the instructions” and dipped
I come back to this video every now and then for this comment
He spitting facts tho
Everyone: "how did you learn how to cook???"
Me: "I can read" 🤷
Honestly. People act like you've gotta climb a mountain and meditate for 3 years until the almighty spaghetti monster descends from the heavens and blesses you with marinara.
Legit just read. Google your ingredients + "recipe", follow directions.
Thank you! It's really not hard.
Every piece of meat and vegetable has pretty much been cooked in every way imaginable, at every temperature imaginable, for every length of time imaginable. Mankind has been cooking food before recorded history. We know how to do this.
Some of us are blind, dickhead...
Are there Braille cookbooks? No offence curious but too lazy to google
Yes yes 🤣
This channel is so good. I love how it’s short, sweet and to the point. He might crack jokes, but he never wastes your time.
The perfect teacher/instructor. Have fun while learning and you won't forget
Yeah he doesn't waste your time like SOME PEOPLE, JOSHUA WEISSMAN!!
As an asian here’s my advice
Buy a rice cooker
The most insane part about this is that the existence of a rice cooker never even crossed my mind, in the hours and hours of planning, writing, shooting, and editing this. Damn. I really need to re-examine my tiny countertops and unwillingness to buy things.
seconded. one time I was in college and forgot the pot for my rice cooker and called my mom who talked me through cooking it on the stove. unfortunately, I burned it. Rice cookers are a good investment especially since we eat rice with everything and then you can cook/do other things while you wait
Uhhh Yea as a Cajun I agree (we grow it here too and it’s a constant in nearly every local recipe) rice cookers are necessary
My mom got me one yeeeears ago. One of my favorite gifts to this day lol
@@internetshaquille My rice cooker always overcooks my rice, I've gotta baby the thing more than a pot of rice. So I appreciate the content of this video!
He reminds of one of those professors who would constantly look appalled at how dumb his students are
Ailin Ell 🤣 I know those professors! 🤣
I just had a flashback to my organic chemistry Professor yelling, “It’s basic chemistry!” After no one got an A on the quiz. 😹
Two days ago, RUclips recommended your burrito video out of the blue. Since then, I've binged every video, and now you have a brand new one. What glorious timing to become a fan.
For real, I've enjoyed some of these videos... it's nice!

Miki N was it the best decision she ever made? It’s nice cause you can walk away from it for a bit. 👍😁✅
We need updates here, Miki!
I decided to make rice on the stove again yesterday and...no. One patch was undercooked. Disgusting.
A rice cooker is absolutely perfect. There's no reason to not buy one. They cost like $10
super valid

Tip from an Asian:
Tip of pointer finger = rice line
First knuckle/line on pointer finger = water line
Perfect rice every time.
That and a rice cooker helps.
Toby Cortez 🤣 Great tips! 👍👌✅
Yep. A Honduran boyfriend taught me this.
Kandace Noire everyone has different sized hands this is the dumbest way to attempt to cook rice
Chris Laker y so serious? Have you tried it? Maybe your index finger knuckle lines are perfectly proportioned, maybe not. If not, or if you hate this method so much, cook rice another way.
Kandace Noire 🤣🤣 I was upset because up until a couple moments ago I couldn’t make rice. When I did it this time around it came just below the line on my index finger
why am i watching this im asian
in all seriousness tho i would like to thank you for spreading the good word about wASHING YOUR RICE BEFORE COOKING THANK GOD
Nicolle isn’t it normally good to wash EVERYTHING before cooking it? Just sayin 😂
@@mrandmrsdelicious4532 well, there's, you know, raw meat
i hope you're not rinsing your steaks before you cook them
@@mrandmrsdelicious4532 you'd be surprised at the amount of people who go through life without washing their rice
TIL there are ppl who *don't* rinse rice before cooking, how uncivilized.
you'll actually get somewhat better results if you soak the rice in cold/ice water in the fridge for like an hour or so after thoroughly rinsing it. rinsing is like 90% of the way to perfect rice, and the cold soak is the last 10%.
why does he always seem like hes about to crack a joke but never does
He’s back ladies and gentlemen!
Yes, it really is that easy^^^ A tip I might suggest if you don’t want just plain white rice but also nothing too complicated is using chicken broth (or any other kind) instead of water to give the rice a little extra flavor. Also, adding spices like turmeric, cumin, and bay leaf can give the rice a little “extra sumn” and some color as well 👌🏼
Thanks for the video, i has some trouble with rice yesterday and this really helped me out today! Love the videos
I love adding butter and salt to my rice. Thank me later. I also only rinse the rice once, the starch gives it some extra flavor. A chef also told me about the "finger" technique with rice. Pour desired amount of rice into pot, put your finger (index) on top of the rice and where the first line of your finger starts (I call them joint creases lol) pour water to that line. Works every time.
Edit: I only use my rice cooker for white rice, but if I wanna get fancy and make stir fried rice or Spanish rice (if you're Mexican this is usually a daily thing we eat) I use a pot for rice for these things
So glad I started watching these videos AFTER your hiatus. Keep up the good work!
The first new video I get to watch after subscribing during a bing watch of as many as your videos as I saw! You're a great personality and an even better cook! Love your work my man and keep up the great effort!
Been binge watching your videos. 😄 Love them & will be trying a few!! Thanks! ☀️
I can’t decide which I enjoy more, your sass or your attitude... I also enjoy your cooking.
For the towel underneath the lid you could wrap it around the lid in order to stabilize the towel and minimize the chances of your house burning down. I usually do that and I feel that rice from a pot tastes different then from a rice cooker personally. Great video!
Shaq my boy, watched your stuff for years and just now decided to actually follow through with your rice and holy shit, I can't believe it was THAT easy, best rice I ever had, thank you so much
I freaking LOVE that your videos are short and to the point. RUclips really rewarding that 10 minute mark but you've put quality over... time?
The point is, I appreciate it.
Your videos are simple, to the point, and so so helpful. You don’t put unnecessary bits or extras in the videos, but they’re still perfectly entertaining and informative. I’m so glad I found your channel!
tiffany summed up his videos exactly. 👌
I absolutely adore your content, can’t wait to try your potato recipe
Latcher
Last week I cooked his potato recipe that had us boiling first, and then roasting them... Holy mother of all that is good in this world it was GLORIOUS! The texture is truly amazeballs. And my boyfriend had no idea that they had been cooked uniquely when I served them, so it meant a lot when he told me randomly while munching them that their texture was brilliant and unique - soft/creamy/fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside - a very melt in your mouth type of texture, unlike how they are normally are inside when only roasted and not pre-boiled (dry). I roasted them with a bunch of butter, olive oil, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, and minced garlic.
Unfortunately I got sick as I was cooking that night, so I ended up not being able to eat them freshly cooked with him. I put them in my toaster oven a few days later to reheat and they were, like I said, still amazeballs. Tasted as if I JUST had cooked them. So they make great leftovers too! Like the cook here says in the potato video, make a good sized batch in the oven because you’ll be wishing you made more than if you just made a small batch in the frying pan. It does take some babysitting over the oven, but since you make a good size batch, the effort more than pays off. :)
I hope you make ‘em! Enjoy! :)
Latcher His potatoes were the first thing that I cooked too. Sooooo good.
Yes that’s the 🔑 book first then roast! Yummy yummy in my tummy!
EXTRA CRISPY 👍
I tried the potatoes with smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper after tossing them in some neutral oil. They were awesome. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle :D
CT5Holy
Oh yeh, duh, forgot to add that I also used salt (trader joe’s bigger sea salt) and their lemon pepper too, haha. Glad to hear yours turned out awesome too! 😁
I'm never gonna cook rice but I watched to see how you've been doing. Happy new year, man.
Glad to see this video taking off for you man! I've loved your older content
In my experience and reading, follow the amounts on the package for your rice, but don't assume that they're a ratio that can be doubled.
Best I can tell, the amount of water you need for an amount of rice is a fixed ratio of rice to water (around 1:1 depending on the type. short-grain seems to need less), *Plus* more on top. The "more on top" part is the excess that will boil away to steam and keep the pot from boiling dry too early. I *think* this amount isn't a volume ratio, but needs to be a certain volume per square inch of surface area that's boiling/evaporating. This is why in cultures that make sticky rice they often don't measure the water precisely; they just measure the depth of water over the top of the rice, a bit under an inch, or up to your first knuckle if you place your index finger on the surface of the rice. You're on your own for extra-long-grain rice that needs to be parboiled and steamed like basmati.
Me: *reads the comments*
Also me: “So if your rice cooker breaks, do you put it in rice or is that some weird form of cannibalism... I- 🤔”
If your rice cooker breaks; place it in a bowl of rice overnight. This will attract Asians who will fix it for you.

I have owned a rice cooker for as long as I have been alive, so this was new hahahah. Also, please make a paella video!!
The most entertaining, informative and hilarious RUclips channel that was ever made. Bravo, sir
Your validation/reproduction of the starch rinsing idea is appreciated, Shaquille. I have been doing that myself for years, after seeing it in another video on RUclips, and have got good results. I think getting consistently good rice is difficult for a lot of people, and that that step is very important...so we need to make sure that everyone knows about it.
Wait. Why am I even watching this.
Im waaaaay too high to understand anything.
But the video was very informative, thank you!
yeah i feel that im trippin on lsd rn lmaoo

Asian mums: use ur finger
Clay P yes! 😁
Roy from The Chef Show had the best tip regarding the top knuckle of your middle finger. Haven't messed up rice since then!
Really really helpful video. I actually learned this technique from my college roommate. For some reason, purchasing a new rice cooker just didn’t make sense. We had small non stick pots and we were going to put them to use!
0:19 that's musenmai. Says so on the little icon in the upper left of the bag. It goes through a special milling process so you don't have to rinse it, which is why it costs a little extra.
I have a Zojirushi rice cooker, and have never rinsed musenmai. Comes out perfectly every time.
Wohooo you got no idea how fast I was to click on this video- you're my favorite viral weirdo.

As an asian, if you have a pressure cooker/insta-pot, you don’t need to buy a dedicated rice cooker
Internet shaquille: “ read the directions” us: theres directions? You dont just put rice in water and hope for the best? Well this is news to us.
The algorithm presented your channel to me and honestly I have no choice but to stan. You’re a king.
I love the tip about spreading the rice to cool and bagging it up to freeze! You da man!
Snap into a Slim Jim Oooh Yeah! That’s a pretty darn good tip! 👍😁✅
Honestly, it's not exactly correct. For left over rice, while it is still WARM, scoop a serving size from the pot and place in the middle of a square piece of plastic wrap, then fold the wrap tightly around it, sealing it, making like a football shape. Repeat, making single serving sizes. Let cool, THEN freeze. Days later, take one out of freezer and microwave about a minute or so (depending on power) and you have fresh tasting moist rice. If you let it cool before wrapping, it dries out too much.
internet shaquille: if you would just read the directions i wouldn’t need to make this video but here we are anyways
holy shit, I literally bought that rice today to make onigiri with, what a world
Was it good?
I use that brand for onigiri and it works perfectly

Rice ain't no bakery edible ffs,holy mackerel!
@@joiboya If you want, you are welcome to come to my house and make rice on the stovetop a few times a week. Otherwise, microwave rice is more convenient. Try it. If you do it right there is no real difference in taste/texture. Microwaves do steam really well.
"Strain the water from the rice. Add the rice to a sheet pan in an even layer. Bake for 5 minutes at 350" Yeah... no. We're just gonna eat some soggy rice at that point. Or better yet, just leave the lid off the pot and let the excess water evaporate.

An alternative to a rice cooker, as mentioned by most comments, is a donabe. Which doubles as a rice cooker and a general amazing cooking tool. You can make some really delicious rice bowl dishes with it. I'd also recommend getting high quality rice. Imo it makes a huge difference. My go to is tamaki gold.
