Some extra tips for those who seriously want to make plov: 1. Wash the rice *first*, because then you can let it soak for around 30 min. before it cooks. The soaking allows the rice to slowly expand before it cooks. If you cook rice without soaking it, the rice will expand too quickly and become mushy or undercooked ("al dente") rather than chewy. 2. The washing of the rice is to get rid of excess starch. It helps the rice to become more fluffy. 3. The pot should be hotter. You want to fry the meat and vegetables, not boil them (that's why you use oil rather than water). The higher temperature will enable browning and give the ingredients a much richer flavour. 4. If you have a wok or a country pan (like a wok but with flat bottom), use that, your life would be easier. 5. The carrots won't dissolve even if you chop them into thin slices. Just don't use a shredder. But feel free to manage the thickness to your own liking. 6. The water should just cover the rice, not a whopping 2 cm above the rice, unless you like watery and mushy rice. 7. Feel free to add other ingredients and be creative with it. Приятно аппетита!
Thanks for the tips, unfortunately I am currently waiting for the 2 cm water to evaporate, but I look forward to follow them the next time I cook плов.
It's like watching my dad cook, but with a lot less bilingual swearing and breaking, burning or otherwise destroying kitchen utensils and the kitchen in general.
Boris! I have tried your plov recipe! Despite the fact that I am a complete debil because I didn't check the rice I had at home before starting to make plov and had about half as much as was needed and also I dropped the towel in the pot and burnt my finger while I was fishing it out, the plov came out good and my mouth is happy :)
I have no idea if anybody watches this video any more, but I personally love this recipe for its simplicity and flavor. I always come back to this video eventually, just because it’s such a good instructional piece. Thanks, Boris, this American owes you one.
I watched this video when I was in high school and now I'm a 2nd year university student, this should be a very useful recipe, and it's fun to watch too
@@aalytoks9755 I agree there are recipe that makes a better point and perhaps more authentic, but this is the simple one, the entertaining one, and then one that introduced me to plov. Years has passed and now I don't really follow this recipe exactly anymore, this is the video I come back to
I made it. The rice had an amazing texture, one that I've never seen before. However, everything got burned at the bottom. The taste was great, but saltless as heck if you follow the recipe. Also, in my opinion, limp, whole carrots are very unsettling to see in a one pot meal made of small particles such as rice and meat. Despite everything, I recall this dish so warmly that I had the motivation to write this review, and I'm looking forward to cook it again, but properly. Good video, greetings from Poland.
The steaming part you do on very low heat, basically the lowest setting you got. And check the liquid level every so often and add more water if needed. If all goes well the pot should make very quiet bubbly noises. If you hear scorching noises or see smoke instead of steam, you need lower heat or more water, or both. Also, the reason you leave the onions and carrots in bigger pieces, because if you cut them very small, they turn into liquid during the long cooking process.
Im Russian and I have this all the time, it’s actually REALLY good. Wish I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I usually use chicken instead of pork but really you can make any meat taste amazing with plov.
All that oil that's added in the beginning, is that necessary? I want to try to cut down the oil content in food lmao, would replacing some of it with water work?
traditional central asian plov is made with sheep's ass fat (special kardashian type of sheep with fat sacks on their asses) and the oil/fat is there to fry the meat and also for rice to absorb. The final dish has no liquid oil in it whatsoever (all absorbed). But the answer is - yes, you need oil.
joey8obby you don't need a lot of oil. Just enough to fry the meat a little, onions and carrots. The while frying process should take about 10-12 minutes
Hello Boris! We made plov on your recipe today with my brother, and gotta say, it was good! Thank you for giving us this, your fans from Finland, Sami and Teemu. Stay cheeki breeki!
Wow, that actually looks like the process of making plov. Us Central Asians like to make fun of Slavs when they attempt to make plov because they usually just make RICE KASHA with boiled meat. But this, this is very well done, brother. One notable exception is that we through in onion, not meat first. We use A LOT of onion, some of it inevitably burns down and then serves as a safety layer for other ingredients. Also, we cut our onion into really small pieces because we WANT it to liquefy completely and turn into delicious brown oily sauce. I was not even aware my mother's plov had onion in it until I was in middle school.
You see Slavs are gifted with something called “Babushka intuition” which allows them to measure ingredients by basically saying “I JUST ADD MORE! I MIGHT AS WELL MAKE ENOUGH FOR WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD! ОЙ СУКА! I JUST CUT FINGER! BLOOD ADD FLAVOR I GUESS!”
Now, as a German I know, which type of food I will have to take with me when I travel to Stalingrad the next time... . (Reason of travel is peaceful of course)
@@Anvilshock Yes, indeed. I often tend to use them like they were used in a German sentence. Just because I was never able to memorize their rules for English language. But maybe I will give the study of English commas another try in future, 😉.
Useful info: try using half the salt and half the oil he used. I made it myself, it tastes amazing but HOLY SHIT I feel like I’ll die, there is just so much oil and so much salt
I know I’m a bit late, but I showed this vid to me mum and she actually cooked it! ‘Twas quite good, thank you Shashlik King for this great recipee. Edit: Three years after I wrote this comment and I am now the best at making plov in the house. Because of Boris I was inspired to learn how to cook little by little. Edit 2: Four years since the original post and I've incorporated a little bit of a Central Asian influence (think Afghanistan and Uzbekistan), adding in raisins, turmeric and cumin with lamb instead of beef. I greatly prefer it over the basic introduction to plov that Boris has given us. Also, kinda sobering to realize that I'm not a kid anymore lol Greetings from California!
Omg love this progression, kudos Do you differ from any of the cooking steps? That amount of food looks like it feeds a whole family but i want to make it for three
Sorry for the late reply, and yes I do change it up a bit. For instance, when adding water on top of the rice, 2cm over the top is excessive for me, even after thoroughly rinsing the rice. Typically 1cm suits our preferences better so that the rice isn‘t mushy. I also like to cook the meat on the first step at a higher heat to get it to brown, at least in my case it gave the meat a better texture and still ended up tender. You also want to prioritize meat that isn‘t super lean if you want the best taste throughout the dish, at least some fat really makes a difference, not that Boris didn’t have that, just a tip. Also, I typically cook this dish for at least 4 people with leftovers, and use about 3.5 to 4 cups of basmati rice. I just like basmati, but it’s up to you. I can also get away with only using 1lb. or .5kg of meat, but at least 2lbs. or a full kilo is preferable. I also want to try cooking a vegetarian or vegan version for my non-meat-eating friends. I’ll probably use mushrooms and wine at the bottom of the pot.
I just made this for the first time for me and my family. I used chicken, and *shit* it was good. The rice just soaks up all the meat and onion broth, and it makes for a really filling, savory meal. I may or may not have gotten 9 servings out of it instead of 3 too (went a little overboard with the onions and carrots), but those left-overs were gone in two days. People were eating it for breakfast as well as dinner. I will absolutely be making this again with beef instead in the future! Thank you so much for sharing, Boris!
Dariune i am cooking on regular basis and have to tell you that plov is very easy dish to cook, just has to be technically sound. No mess, no hassle, ready in 30 minutes including all preparations.
Made this for dinner tonight, with a little tomato paste because I am a decadent westerner. The entire family loved it, and asked for plov to be added to the regular dinner rotation. Nicely done, Boris!
I learned what plov was and how to make plov from this video years ago. It has since become one of my primary things I cook for events, parties, or just to have alot of food in the fridge. Legit thanks for this video
@@vaibhavdabwalv1 to be fair plov = pulao = pilaf. That dish can be found from eastern china to the western andes with a 2 syllables name starting in P with L in the middle
5 years later, i have been making this at least monthly. thank you Boris, it took some toonink and a few mistakes, but i still look forward to plov o' clock.
I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since I first saw this. Got me through some hard times in college. Thanks for doing what you do Boris, you help a ton of people with your videos
I've been sharing these videos with my co-workers and acquaintances, and they are always amazed because most of us here have never been exposed to the slav world and ways. Looking forward to the cook book!
Blin, is special technique. The more hungry you are, the more you will crave for *plov* even more than normal, and when you get to eat, it taste even better!
Hi Boris. I saw this video when you first uploaded it now 4 years ago, and it was this video that got me into cooking especially for my family. Every now and then after a while one of my parents might bring up how good the plov was and I'll make it again soon after. I've been making it for the last four years, and I considered it a big milestone cooking it for my soon-to-be-fiance. Anyways, thanks again for such a cool recipe that I'll be making for my family someday
@@sirrivet9557 yes , and you can clean more of them at once , try it , it's very effective , but throw a couple dirty spoons into the mix to not cut yourself , or be careful
I made this recipe right now - delicious and satisfying. I definitely fucked something up in cooking the rice but idi nahui! Can't stop eating... Next time I want to try adding some paprika and some raisins. Thanks for the recipe, Boris!
raisins are a must, we always put them when we make plov. also try adding some cumin, but just a tiny little bit for taste. that's how they make it in the -stan countries of the former USSR, where the dish originates from (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan etc.)
i am russian but live in uzbekistan. Plov they make here, as boris mentioned, is made in large pots called lyagan or kazan. They include raisins, chick peas, barberry, dried tomatoes and much more spices and it tastes so good
Look at cooking time on the pack of rice, most important is LOW heat, water only needs to steam and not boil, and less water is better than too much you dont want porage
This is very useful to me and my mom right now, we are no strangers to pore cooking, and being pore, but lately it's been extra tuff, and we have had to get extra creative, and this definitely gave me some inspiration to make something with what we have! Pulled out the ham steak out of the freezer and I've still got rice and some onions.
As an uzbek where the plov traditionally comes from.... I am sorry for you.... this is a wild student recipe with PORK in it ( we would never make it with pork) and please... dont eat it with mayonnaise it makes my heart break
Tried this out finally, and I gotta say You need to just give it a shot. Yes, the rice bit is kinda daunting, but don't let that scare you away from it, it's SO GOOD.
Ive eating refried plov right now. Was at a church gathering yestersay. Took some of the extras home. Then, fried it up in the pan. Because it is a naturally oily dish it made the rice nice and crispy. Might he taboo, but it was delicious. Sorry babushka!
FINALLY made this. This is one of my FAVORITE Boris videos, and I finally made it because I happened to have all the ingredients in my kitchen. I have a cold (I should have made solyanka but I had exactly none of the ingredients) but this had a very simple, comfort-food-y taste to it. It probably tastes even better when one's sinuses are not closed off. Tomorrow, leftovers for breakfast (with a fried egg on top) and probably dinner (with mayonez)
Boris; Thank you. when I was stationed in Afghanistan the locals would cook this all the time. But no pork, no beef, rarely chicken. Instead they would add dates, golden raisens, and currants. The fruit really brought out the taste of the meal.
I know how it feels my bratan gopnik, had to burry my koshku too, still hurts :[. But life goes on, make good plov blad! Make it for ur koshka Mick, he would have deserved it. Tonight i will drink vodka, for ur kot! Stay strong my drug.
With the towel, I'd recommend ONLY do it if you're extra careful, and particularly only when using an induction cooker. Gas stoves have open flames, while ceramic & tungsten electric burners can also catch the fabric on fire. *Definitely* do not do it when you're cooking with coals, candles, or other open flames.
Made this tonight :) I don't eat before 8 AM or after 3 PM so it will be lunch (for several days) but it smells amazing. I added turmeric, cumin, paprika, and a little ginger, and it came out with a nice yellow-orange color. Used chicken instead of pork or beef. Thank you for teaching us how to make these recipes!

I came here after that BBC cook food about fried rice to erase my memory about it, this works
ah yes, nightmare fuel indeed
Boris! I made it by applying your plov recipe and served it to my parents. They are very pleased. Thank you!🥰

love the energy 10/10
So I take it you haven't seen Boris kvass video?
5 years later, i have been making this at least monthly.
thank you Boris, it took some toonink and a few mistakes, but i still look forward to plov o' clock.
I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since I first saw this. Got me through some hard times in college. Thanks for doing what you do Boris, you help a ton of people with your videos
The Slav Electric Whisk, just a hand whisk inside drill.
Using this for 3 years now and it works perfectly. At the beginning I used a fork instead of a whisk

I COOKED AND FAMILY LIKED, thank you Boris always a great help!
Joshua The Commie what kind of pork did you use?
Kyle Wilson u use thigh meat, it's most similar to what Boris used
Me uses human meat very nice yes yes :D
I've been sharing these videos with my co-workers and acquaintances, and they are always amazed because most of us here have never been exposed to the slav world and ways. Looking forward to the cook book!
You make plov if you're hungry, but it takes a pretty long time to cook.
Ok
But no no hunger after long time due to pure S L A V power in Plov, if you feel hungry after less than a month, then you pizdec the cooking
waiting is a spice
Blin, is special technique. The more hungry you are, the more you will crave for *plov* even more than normal, and when you get to eat, it taste even better!

mix ya rice if you are cooking w/ vadim's pot
Hi Boris. I saw this video when you first uploaded it now 4 years ago, and it was this video that got me into cooking especially for my family. Every now and then after a while one of my parents might bring up how good the plov was and I'll make it again soon after. I've been making it for the last four years, and I considered it a big milestone cooking it for my soon-to-be-fiance. Anyways, thanks again for such a cool recipe that I'll be making for my family someday
This is one of my absolute favourite dishes, absolute class, perfect with any meat and so easy to make a university/college student can do it!
I tried making it a few years ago and burnt the fuck out of my pot lmao
It is always very nice to see another dish that i can confidently cook with cheap local ingredients.
"The stick of carrot need to be *THICC* enough"
It have to be ExTRa ThiCC
Saw this comment as soon as it was said in the video lol
Saw this coming
There must be Cumin and Curcuma also!
Without those spiсes it's just a rice with meat, but not plov!
that's why he called it 'student edition'
You’re goddam right !
Where would you add the Cumin I wanna make this student edition but just with cumin
I like plov without cumin it
I don't think eastern Europeans use much spices other than bay leaf, black pepper and salt.
"its the ideal recipe for student bc you only need to use one pot"
Meanwhile he uses about 5 different knives😂😂
;-; knives are much easier to clean than pots. Well usually.
@@sirrivet9557 yes , and you can clean more of them at once , try it , it's very effective , but throw a couple dirty spoons into the mix to not cut yourself , or be careful
You only need 2 knives though. One for meat, one for vegetables.
Slav students probably are expected to have at least 5 knives on hand 😂
A single cleaver can do the work. Unless you want to collect knifes for zombie apocalypse or home invasion
I think this is the first cooking show I have ever watched that didn't bore me to sleep.
time to putin the carrot

WHERE IS LAMB SAUCE
I made this recipe right now - delicious and satisfying. I definitely fucked something up in cooking the rice but idi nahui! Can't stop eating...
Next time I want to try adding some paprika and some raisins. Thanks for the recipe, Boris!
may be your rice just wasn`t optimal for this dish (for plov it must be pretty hard type, not like for sushi)
raisins are a must, we always put them when we make plov. also try adding some cumin, but just a tiny little bit for taste. that's how they make it in the -stan countries of the former USSR, where the dish originates from (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan etc.)
i am russian but live in uzbekistan. Plov they make here, as boris mentioned, is made in large pots called lyagan or kazan. They include raisins, chick peas, barberry, dried tomatoes and much more spices and it tastes so good
Look at cooking time on the pack of rice, most important is LOW heat, water only needs to steam and not boil, and less water is better than too much you dont want porage
bitch lasagna sounds amazing
BLIN! This is darn tasty! Made my first (def not last) plov...I didn't know it would be so rich. I'll have leftovers for a couple of days.
I actually made this with my brothers. . . .and it honestly turned into one of my favorite dishes
Thanks Boris :)
In his next life, Boris will be Slavic 3 Star cook.
Oh wait. He already is! Looking good Boris.

BORIS YOU FORGOT THE BAY LEAF
no bay leaf just *BAY LEAF*
Mayonez was put when served of course there is!
This is very useful to me and my mom right now, we are no strangers to pore cooking, and being pore, but lately it's been extra tuff, and we have had to get extra creative, and this definitely gave me some inspiration to make something with what we have! Pulled out the ham steak out of the freezer and I've still got rice and some onions.
I just made Плов and ate it with the whole family, thank you Boris for the recipe, спасибо Товарищ! 🇷🇺🤙
it's пилав in turkish xd
@inc.opt.63 nobody cares if somebody care
@@thrashefe3523 i do care
As an uzbek where the plov traditionally comes from.... I am sorry for you.... this is a wild student recipe with PORK in it ( we would never make it with pork) and please... dont eat it with mayonnaise it makes my heart break
You have to Putin the carrot.
But don't procrastinate. If you do, we know you're Stalin for time.

You rinse the rice to get rid of excess starch, which will turn into a slurry if you don't wash it off. *flies away*

I give you the honorary title of Rice strategist, for impressing me by cooking rice in a non asian way.
This is an asian way.
Asia consists of hundreds of cultures - there is no "asian" way to cook rice...
@@ИмяФамилия-ф2д8ш thats like saying snails and frogs aren’t french
@@ABAMTV12 maybe idk never asked about their citizenship
I mean. As a southeast asian, I really was amazed of using a whisk sticked to a drill to wash it.
This is a very interesting dish. In azerbaijan it is called pilaf, in India palao. It is spread in all countries from west of India to east of russia.

Tried this out finally, and I gotta say
You need to just give it a shot. Yes, the rice bit is kinda daunting, but don't let that scare you away from it, it's SO GOOD.
Ive eating refried plov right now. Was at a church gathering yestersay. Took some of the extras home. Then, fried it up in the pan. Because it is a naturally oily dish it made the rice nice and crispy. Might he taboo, but it was delicious. Sorry babushka!
Try substitute most of the water by using some chicken stock for maximum flavors 😃
Blyad, who have money for that at end of month...

@@0d138 Who is making plov at end of month? At that point, it's just light beer and semechki.
I laughed seeing his knife collection. I died laughing when I noticed the katana.
You died, huh? I'm sorry for your loss. What's the afterlife like?
Yeah, he used the katana in an older video and got called a weeb.
FINALLY made this. This is one of my FAVORITE Boris videos, and I finally made it because I happened to have all the ingredients in my kitchen.
I have a cold (I should have made solyanka but I had exactly none of the ingredients) but this had a very simple, comfort-food-y taste to it. It probably tastes even better when one's sinuses are not closed off. Tomorrow, leftovers for breakfast (with a fried egg on top) and probably dinner (with mayonez)
Update: successfully made the dish, and it’s awesome!!!!!

Literally *DEEP FRIES* the pork.
I feel spiritually enlightened. Thank you, Boris.
Everybody gangsta making slav jokes till they know that plov is uzbek
Boris; Thank you. when I was stationed in Afghanistan the locals would cook this all the time. But no pork, no beef, rarely chicken. Instead they would add dates, golden raisens, and currants. The fruit really brought out the taste of the meal.
My cat died today but your vid still made me laugh. Keep doing what you are doing. Luv u
Such a great cat he was. :(

I know how it feels my bratan gopnik, had to burry my koshku too, still hurts :[. But life goes on, make good plov blad! Make it for ur koshka Mick, he would have deserved it. Tonight i will drink vodka, for ur kot! Stay strong my drug.

Same I made Kiev.
With the towel, I'd recommend ONLY do it if you're extra careful, and particularly only when using an induction cooker. Gas stoves have open flames, while ceramic & tungsten electric burners can also catch the fabric on fire. *Definitely* do not do it when you're cooking with coals, candles, or other open flames.
I watched this at midnight in my dorm room and now realize it is plov o’clock
But does your dorm have kitchen?
Does it matter comrade? if u don't have kitchen, borrow vladime's kitchen.

Still comin' back to this video, every time I make plov
Made this tonight :) I don't eat before 8 AM or after 3 PM so it will be lunch (for several days) but it smells amazing. I added turmeric, cumin, paprika, and a little ginger, and it came out with a nice yellow-orange color. Used chicken instead of pork or beef.
Thank you for teaching us how to make these recipes!
