      If you are cooking big batches in a commercial kitchen then you can use the boil and drain method, but you have to wash it first or its just a mess.

    • @tkjho
      @tkjho 6 лет назад +173

      Commercial or home kitchen, boil and drain is not good as you cannot control how much water it absorbs. It would end up absorbing too much and becoming too soft. It's OK for Caucasians that don't know how to cook rice but certainly not for people from rice eating countries. About 15 years ago, I had hard half-cooked rice in a rice salad served in the Intercontinental Hotel in Toronto. If a 5-star hotel could not do it right, what do you expect from an average Caucasian?

    As a Brazilian I missed some seasonings. The way the chef did it is very similar to how we do it in Brazil, but before putting it in the pan, we put oil, or olive oil, then add onion and garlic and let it brown. Only then do we add the rice and sauté for a few seconds to get the flavor and add water. Then we finished as the chef showed in the video

    What a waste of rice. Farmers did not suffer cultivating the land, making sure the weather is right, patiently waiting for the time of harvest, and suffer through harvest, despite being underpaid, and have had most of their land taken from them only for you to butcher their work like that. Growing rice is not a joke kids. Every grain counts. Cook it properly and finish your plate.

  • @konataizumi8350
    @konataizumi8350 2 года назад +101

    Note that 1:2 method for rice and water depends on the rice type as well.
    For jasmine rice i recommend 1:1.75
    For brown rice: 1:2.5
    For japanese rice: 1:2
    I can see the chef was using indian basmati rice so maybe that is why the ratio is 1:2
    Also we dont normally use a strainer when washing rice but no problem with using it. It looks fancy but you are adding more utensils to wash later.
    You should also wash rice at least twice. Unless you are using a “no wash rice” (musenmai) which is something i only saw in japan.
    Depends if you are using a rice cooker or a pan with lid as well.
    In both cases ensure your lid is TRANSPARENT so you can see the rice without opening the lid. (This will help cook your rice perfectly)
    If you are using pan, you might also wonder when to remove the lid. wait for the rice to boil and spill A BIT of water out. Don’t panic. As soon as it does, remove the lid, put the fire on the lowest setting, and cover again. (Do this as quick as you can). Once lid is on do not touch and wait for the rice to cook.
    When do you know your rice is cooked? Your lid is transparent. You should be able to see how the rice looks. If it is no longer soggy and looks perfect then it is good to serve. If you are clueless white man then wait for soggyness to be gone, open the lid try it out. If it tastes perfect like your nearby asian restaurant turn off the heat and serve.

The starch gets drained off with the water n so it doesn't get mushy. A plus point is that u don't have to worry if u put in excess water.But ig it depens on the type of rice u r using as well.

    Try it the way my navy chef brother taught me. It never fails. Thoroughly wash the rice. Put rice in large pan with just enough cold water to cover it. Turn heat full on. Have a kettle of boiling water ready. When water in pan is boiling put ample water in pan from kettle. From first turning heat on it takes 7 to 8 minutes to cook. Taste rice and it will be almost but not quite cooked. Drain it and allow most of steam to escape, put rice back in pan and cover with lid. Cooking process will continue but with no water the rice can't turn mushy. You can leave it for minutes or hours and it will be light and fluffy when you go back it. I will just need to be fluffed up with a fork. Never fails.

      There are a few reasons for it, some are more legitimate than others. These are the excuses I've heard:
      1) westerners are obsessed with exact measurements in cooking and will legitimately freak out if you eyeball anything.
      2) some people have longer fingers so they will complain that it's different for everyone and not precise (see above)
      3) many would see putting your finger in the pot as unsanitary.

    Tip from Brazil: before of put the rice to cook, add some oil (olive, tasteless coconut oil or sunflower), and nice thin-sliced garlic, add just a bit of salt. You can also add turmeric, not just for taste but mainly for health benefits.

    Fun facts. The *boil and strain* method of cooking rice has been dominant in Britain for hundreds of years. Carolina Gold, once the most popular rice grown in America, and the first commercial rice the country ever produced, was immensely popular and thousands upon thousands of pounds of it were exported as far away as France, England, and Asia. In 1820, approximately 100,000 acres of it was growing throughout the South. In the colonies, and later the USA, the *absorption method* was the common way to cook rice, that knowledge most likely coming from Africa. I grew up in Spain, and the *absorption method* is what is used there. Great Britain is only 500 miles away from coast to coast, but the cooking cultures could not be more different.

  • @chrisengland5523
    @chrisengland5523 8 месяцев назад

    That's good, but there's an even better method (Iranian):
    1. Use long grain Basmati rice. Rinse it until the water runs clear (like in the video).
    2. Add it to a very large pan of boiling water and boil hard, stirring very frequently.
    3. After about 3-4 minutes, extract some with a fork and taste it. If it cracks under your teeth, continue cooking.
    4. AS SOON as it no longer cracks (also, it turns much whiter) drain it thoroughly. (This step is critical.)
    5. Put it into a hot pan or dish, with a thin layer of molten butter at the bottom.
    6. Add a little butter on top and make a few deep holes for the steam to escape.
    7. Wrap the lid in a tea towel, put it tightly on the pan or dish and keep it hot. (A pan warmer is ideal.)
    8. Leave it alone for at least 15 minutes. You can leave it longer - even an hour or two.
    It takes a bit of practice to get it right, but the result should be perfectly fluffy rice that doesn't stick together at all (unlike in the video). Another advantage is that it can be prepared in advance, which is ideal for entertaining. (The Iranians like the brown crust that forms at the bottom with the butter, but I'm not a fan.)

    So, wait -- there are people in the world who actually cook rice by throwing a random amount in a pan, along with a random amount of water, and cook it without a lid? I mean, there are instructions on packages of rice that give you the appropriate amount and time. I will admit I didn't know about rinsing until my son (who is very serious about Japanese cooking) told me to do that. A rice cooker is the best way to go, too.
    My son's method involves rinsing the rice in the rice cooker pan, letting it sit and air dry for 20 minutes, then adding the water and soaking it overnight (he usually eats rice with breakfast). It's amazingly perfect every time. (I'm too lazy to do that, but the rinsing makes a huge difference.)

      Is it weird i am an Asian and i kinda like wet rice.
      Not the Mushy one.
      The rice when it is still super moist.
      I like that type of rice.

    Been cooking rice since I was 10 years old and cannot figure how people screw it up. Always a 2:1 ratio of water to rice. However, I get my water by itself to a boil - as soon as it starts to roll I pour in my rice, stir, cover with lid and turn heat down to low. Set the timer for 20 minutes and done. If I decide I want to add some onion soup mix to flavor the rice then I might add just a tad more water.

      Cool! Is the method the same for Jasmine and Basmati rice?
