Rice is a main staple for Chinese meals and it goes with everything! Happy weekend! 💕
Happy New Year! Ring out the old, bring in the new! Thank you for teaching your audience how to make rice. Your channel is always great content.
@@FloLum happy weekend to you flo dude and family 👍🏽.
Interesting. I'am using a Toshiba rice cooker my mom purchased in 1969 when we lived on O'ahu. Still works great after 56 years and it doesn't have a non-stick lining.
In the 80’ I watch Ken Homm on TV and still use his cooking method up to present day. 1 cup rice, 2 cups cold water, no washing. According to Ken you wash vitamins out if you wash. Stir, cover the lid tightly, bring to boil, (at this stage I boil for about a full 2 minutes, my way, not Ken’s). Turn heat off and wrap pan with tea towels well and leave well alone for 20/30 minutes. The residual heat continues to cook the rice till it rehydrates. Perfect rice every time. I’m sure there are many more ways to cook rice but I’m always stick to this one. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. When I bought an Instant pot I started cooking my rice in it and never turned back. Always turns out perfect and so easy. I also want to add that I love your haircut! I keep asking my hairdresser for this cut and I always end up with a bob. 😒
Great video! I use a rice cooker and what I’ve learned from your video is the only thing I need to do which I don’t do at the moment, is fluff the rice when it’s done. Nice to know I’m doing something right 😃
Good basic comparison. Trying all three methods, my fav is the Instant pot. Love your recipes, cookbook and gentle manner….
I've seen one TH-camr demonstrate cooking rice like pasta...lots of water, check it for your desired doneness and then drain it. I can't even contemplate trying that method, haha. I only allowed myself to buy an Instant Pot by getting rid of my rice cooker, egg cooker, one slow cooker and an electric skillet. (I'm a bit of a small appliance junkie.) As long as I stick to a good Asian rice, the IP makes it perfect every time. Thank you for so clearly and thoroughly showing all these methods, Flo. My mom only cooked MJB long grain rice, a very different method with that.
I do not understand cooking rice like pasta. I can only imagine a soggy mess unless you’re making congee. I got rid of a few appliances too when I got my IP. Then I ended up with 3 of them. 🤦🏻♀️
I know this is off topic but I have to say it…. I remember 9 years ago I bought my first instapot and I still have it to this day but lord knows at the time I had no idea what I was doing with it so I began searching on TH-cam different recipes and ways to utilize this machine and I ended up coming across your channel… long story short I subscribed and I’ve been a huge supporter since! I just want to give you your flowers and thank you for all that you have done for TH-cam my Sister!
👏🏽 🙏🏽🤎 🌹 💐
This is so encouraging! Thank you for following along all this time!
I am a stove top and rice cooker user.
Jamaican eat plenty rice!❤
We didn't have a rice cooker so I learned to make rice on the stove top in the 70s. But it was a 1 to 2 ratio and was perfect every time. Now I have an instant pot & usually make rice using the 4 min method. Again, prefect rice everytime! But I still use the stove top sometimes.
Problem is when my son was younger, sometimes, he wanted a stickier rice and I could never get it to be sticky. Now I think I needed to use a short grain rice to make a stickier rice.
He may be wanting sticky rice which is sold as glutenous or sweet rice. It is cooked differently than regular rice and is far more sticky. But it is possible that he wants short grain sushi rice which is a bit stickier; made same method in IP but I generally soak it for 30 mins before cooking.
@FloLum thanks Flo!
Thank you for this video. I prefer the stove top method. It took me about three months to perfect my rice. I like my rice plain with salt and pepper mostly.
I had just looked up how to make rice in my Instant Pot. The lady did not say to soak rice for 10 minutes. I will try this next time.
My Japanese fuzzy logic rice cooker is going on 20 years! I use Jasmine rice that I buy at Aldi's. I don't rinse the rice anymore. I add a half to one tsp of olive/sunflower blended oil. One thing you didn't mention was the great fragrance of Jasmine rice.
Apparently there are toxins like arsenic that need to be removed by washing the rice until clear
Thanks Flo for showing how to wash rice. When people use uncooked rice from the package I have a shiver. I usually add paper towel under the lid to absorb extra steam after cooking. Happy New Year.
Im 57yo Filipina and use paper towel too. I don't own an instapot so i use stovetop or rice cooker
Thanks for the helpful tips. Going forward I will now rinse my rice prior to cooking.😊
I have both rice cooker and instant pot. I use both for rice.😊
As an Asian, eating rice is so normal, but cooking it perfect is so difficult using the finger or hand method. Thank you for sharing the Instant Pot method, I will definitely use it.
I don’t understand either of those methods either. My dad tried to teach me and I’m like, “uh your hand is way bigger than mine. How does that even make sense??”
@@FloLum That is so TRUE. Every time at dinner, someone will comment that the rice is too soft or too hard, never that it's cooked perfect. I know tastes buds differ but the middle area is so difficult to achieve is what I'm getting at.
I'm 57 and have always used the hand method though now I just eyeball it. I add a pinch of salt and give it a good stir - never stir after it boils or the rice will stick to the pot. I also cook my rice for 22 mins. Not 21 or 23 lol, always 22. Not sure why but I get perfect rice every time.
Thank you! I’m planning on buying an instant pot 😊
Thank you for these simple recipes
One of life's greatest moments was when Mom Wong taught me how to make rice for the customers at the Rainbow Chinese Restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Rice is life.
Yes, I loved the Rainbow Cafe! The food was great and I remember visiting the Farmer's Market when she did her demos. I live in another state now, but still haven't found as good Chinese food since😢
What an informative video. Thank you, Flo!
Happy Holidays to you and your family
I use a rice cookers and crock pots but experimented with crock pot just rice to water ratio I try first time not good but second and third time perfect it just take longer but that's fine I just get everything else ready, the rice cookers I gave to two of my son's I have a lot of grand kids.
Awesome as always!!
It's very important to wash rice because:
"Rice polishers are used after the rice has gone through the whitening process. They are abrasive machines that use talc or some other very fine dust to buff the outer surface of rice kernels." [Wikipedia]
In the instant pot, the one to one ratio is correct. I weigh my rice in grams and add the exact same weight of water to the instant pot. This is a good method if you don’t want to make exact cups of rice. So, if you make 300 grams of rice, add 300 grams of water.
How do you make almond cookies
Yes it is a lot easier to rinse the rice in the sink with the faucet.
Thank you for the insight!
In your demonstration, you used Jasmine rice. Do the same liquid to rice proportions and cooking times apply to longer-grain rice varieties like Basmhati and shorter grain rice like Spanish Bomba rice?
Not all rice is the same. However, I have found this method works with basmati and sushi rice but I do have to soak it for at least 30 mins before cooking. I’m not familiar with Spanish Bomba rice.
@FloLum Thanks. Looks like experimentation time for me.
I cook my rice in the microwave. 1:1 water to rice ratio. 5 mins high then 12 mins at medium power.
Are there any adjustments to the recipe if I use jasmine broken rice?
No salt?
No. We always serve a savoury dish with the rice.
No butter or salt?
Nope. Serve with whatever condiments you want though.
@FloLum thank you, I love your recipes
Im Filipino and Asians don't typically use butter or salt
@@midlifemom5829 thank you for your response.
Sorry, but do I wash the rice with hot or cold water?
cold water
Cold
Because I'm diabetic, I wash a mix of Brown Basmati Rice, Low G.I. Brown Rice, Hulled Millet & Quinoa, let it soak for 8 hours (to activate it), before putting it into a rice cooker.
I can't imagine cooking rice without a rice cooker using the absorption method. Any other method is produces inferior results.
Your mom didn't use the finger method to measure water for cooking rice?
She using colander to try trigger uncle roger. 😂
Ha. So not Asian ;) 3:28 😊
Lol. Yes, I've never measured the water, ever.
Just use a normal pot still does the same job and you get to eat it.
i seriously cannot be bothered with the measurements.
i learn the hard way that measurements does not work with rice from the various parts of the world.
my foolproof is to parboil with lots of water... like pasta.
then strain.
put the rice back on the stove, when most of the liquid is gone from the bottom of the pan, i turn the heat down to lowest setting for 15 minutes.
turn heat off.
wait 10 minutes.
fluff.
serve, or divide into serving portions and freeze.
comes out perfect every time, regardless what kind of rice or what part of the world the rice is from.
