    after i saw him how he measure the water on rice. i can tell hes legit.

    • @JohnWulfgar
      @JohnWulfgar 6 ปีที่แล้ว +65

      Same. If you're using a rice cooker, and if the rice is new crop, then it's around half way to the first knuckle. If it's old crop, then 1 knuckle. However, if you're cooking with fire, then 1 knuckle is enough.
      Sauce: I'm Asian. Vietnamese to be exact.

    • @JuanPabloMontoyaUrdaneta
      @JuanPabloMontoyaUrdaneta 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Khoi Nguyen When you (and him) say "first knuckle", you mean from the fingertip to the hand, or from the hand to the fingertip??

    • @JohnWulfgar
      @JohnWulfgar 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Juan Pablo Montoya Urdaneta
      Lay your hand flat and look at your finger. See those lines on your finger? Those are the aforementioned “knuckles” of the fingers.
      So when we said “going to the first knuckle,” we meant the water goes from the fingertip to the first horizontal line on your index finger.

      I always tilt the rice bowl until the rice settles in the edge then slowly pour water out until the water is level with the rice closest to the centre of the bowl.

    omg that first knuckle rule!! Take it from an asian, that rule is true. That's how my mum and grandma measures water for rice, and how I do it too. I've never measured my water:rice ratio. It's always been "eh. That's about right." But I've never seen someone officially talk about it. (for some reason this makes me super excited.)

    This has been my favourite lazy snack for years, and now it's glamour food. Lol.
    The best way to make it is actually beating the egg white separately, mixing it into the rice, and then placing the whole yolk on top. That way the white denatures a bit and makes the rice fluffier, and the yolk which won't fully cook anyway is a nice oozy garnish. Mixing the whole egg together prior risks sliminess.

      SO much of cooking is experience vs. theory. You could (and should) apply this to so many things, meat, veg, grains, cooking methods. Cook outside on a fire, cook on a hobo stove with denatured alcohol, cook on an electric range, gas range, in a microwave. "Don't knock it if you haven't tried it" is a good mantra.

    • @KhanhTheLearner
      @KhanhTheLearner 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I learned the very basic recipe a while ago (just fresh egg, fresh steamed rice, and soy sauce) and tried to make it but noticed it missing something. I thought sesame flavor would go well with it so I poured a little sesame oil and sprinkled a some toasted sesame seeds on top. Heavenly.

    This stuff is amazing with radish kimchi!!! Its so simple and filling and the tart saltiness and the satisfying crunchiness of the kimchi pairs perfectly with the mild sweetness and creamy fluffiness of the egg and rice!!
    Also, SAVE THAT STARCHY WATER!!! Its amazing for washing oils and grime off dishes and the starch will actually absorb the smell of burnt food!

      @nachogazpacho2832 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The impression that I get from watching recipe videos is that Asian chefs cook very relaxed, controlled and precise. This might be a myth but isn't there a diploma that sushi chefs can acquire by learning sushi making for many years? This makes me imagine Asian chefs relying on milliliter measurements to achieve their goals. Myself I'm interested in the cocktail culture and, for most drinks, every centiliter counts.

    My trick for knowing when the rice is done is to listen to it! If it's bubbling, there's still water. If it's popping, it's already strating to burn. But if it's quiet and content, it's rice time! (after letting it rest 5 mins)

    It's funny how most of the comments here are all about how awesome this dish is or how it's the ultimate comfort food, maybe because it's a CHEF who is AMERICAN who said that it's actually good food. Now if you move over to other videos about this 'tamagokake gohan' (that's what it's called in Japanese) with an actual Japanese or just some random guy who is NOT a chef, most of the comments are like 'eww you'll get salmonella' or 'that's disgusting', 'I'll eat it when I'm about to die' or even 'Why do Japanese eat this kind of thing?' and maybe 'I'll never go to Japan if this is what I have to eat everyday'. How peculiar :)

      Your attitudes is an unfortunate commentary on the American food system where people, like you, are conditioned to harbor arbitrary mental barriers to what foods are acceptable.
      It is amusing that the attitude you express are the same prejudices people held against sushi and sashimi during the 70s and 80s. Back then, to eat fish raw… how BARBARIC. Octopus? Ugh! Sea urchin? GROSS!! Salmon eggs? That's fish bait.
      Now, sushi is fast becoming a part of the American food scene as pizza and tacos. And, it's not because the food has changed, but because Americans have finally dropped their hangups of eating fish raw. It's amazing you can discover once you are willing to step out of your cocoon.

But please by all means go find a single middle eastern man that is eating raw fish over rice. All cultures are hesitant to change, and frankly consuming raw meats is in fact something to be very hesitant about. Japan seems to have gotten the short end of the stick on our cultural crossover as hundreds are sent to the hospital each year with salmonella poisoning from consuming raw chicken sashimi.

    Rice washing hack: Put the rice in a sieve to wash it under running water. Move it around gently being careful not to break the grains. You can feel when the excess rice is washed away. Let it stand for 20 min in the sieve if you can before adding it to the cooker with the water. As for the knuckle-measurement, I picked that up off PBS in the seventies. (When he takes the cover off the "freshly cooked" rice, you can see he's already stirred it around.)

    • @jko8888
      @jko8888 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Make sure the eggs are fresh helps. Crack the egg open on a plate. If the white "stands up" the egg is fresh. If it's all flat and watery, or the yoke breaks when you open it, it's old.
      If you're still scared or you're feeding it to a toddler or elderly and want to be extra safe, sous vide the egg in 60C water to pasteurize it.

    About the knuckle thing, it depends on the width of your pot, if it significantly wider, then you are going to have way too much water...

    • @Pivitrix
      @Pivitrix 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The wider the pot, the more rice you have at the same height, it doesn't just apply to water. Derp :p

    • @VaidasKondratas
      @VaidasKondratas 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pivitrix I would not dare to argue, I don't know how to measure if same amount of rice that was added to this pot would be equal to the difference pot width makes to water, but if somebody can do the math would care to do it for me?

    • @VaidasKondratas
      @VaidasKondratas 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The way I think is: lets say 300g of rice is added in a small pot, would come let say at 2cm height and knuckle heigh of water would be about 3cm which would be equal to let say 200ml of water, so if you transfer the rice to wider pot and it takes lets say only 1cm of heigh, wouldn't the 3cm of water be still more in amount than the smaller pot?

    • @VaidasKondratas
      @VaidasKondratas 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      because 3cm of water in wider pot will be like 600ml

    • @Sourwhatup
      @Sourwhatup 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No because the water will also lose height... No matter the width of the pot, at the first knuckle should give you perfect white rice.

    This man knows his rice. Never use a strainer, do it like him always! I use my hand to measure, I try the finger thing and it never works out for me. Far as type of rice I'm going for, firmer or softer and such. Which when at someones else house with a smaller rice pot, makes it hard for my hand to fit in :P

    I have never had this. I know it's not the same but is this technique kinda similar to pasta carbonara where the egg tempers with the heat of the pasta?

    • @danielt6689
      @danielt6689 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. Although many of the commenters say that the hot rice partially "cooks" the egg, I would disagree. I eat raw eggs in a variety of dishes regularly - at least 1-2 times per week. In this case, the egg cools rice as much as the rice heats the egg. The texture of the egg doesn't change appreciably after mixing with the rice.
