Thanks for taking the time to post this video.
Most people don't want to buy a rice cooker that will get you the perfect rice everytime.Its okay if you don't want spend hundreds of dollars on a rice cooker. You can use a pot to get the rice you want at anytime but it takes more effort and hard to get it the right way you want it to be.

This video was a lifesaver! Last night I made my rice too mushy but today I followed your directions and it was the best rice I’ve ever made in my life. 10/10 highly recommend!!
@@abstractfactsI’ve used her method for years, using a pot and not a rice cooker. It does look mushy, but the texture is just… fantastic. You can feel the grains keeping shape, but when you want to mush them yourself, it’s like a cloud from heaven spreading over your tongue. It’s just 1 cup of rice that you’ll waste if you don’t like her method. Besides, if you want it less mushy, don’t cook it for as long. You’ve got a template. She even tells you to make it yours.
I've been for a while trying to cook the perfect rice but it was either too mushy or too dry or burnt at the bottom and ever since I started following your rules on how to measure the rice and water and the timing it's coming out perfectly now and I want to thank you for posting this and giving us a good understanding of how simple things can be when you actually follow the rules.👍

@lisanighttI follow the exact instructions and measurements in this video and it comes out pretty great every time. Sometimes worse than others but most times perfect!
I have been cooking using my mom's instincts but today I got it all measure out ..I measured the water level and the timing and I was amazed bcos it's similar to mom's volume of water and timing 👍 it's a useful video for learners
I'm moving out by myself and finally need to learn how to cook so that I don't starve. For whatever reason, cooking has always been so daunting to me (I do it, just rarely) so I thought I'd look for an easy cookbook for beginners. I came across this and in less than five minutes already feel so much more confident. And, I feel like I know everything there is to know about cooking rice. Thank you so much! I subscribed and can't wait to follow these once I'm in my new kitchen!
this is the first video I've come across that actually explains it in an understandable, slow, clear, followable manner. thank you for making this in the style and format that you did!
Just made some beautiful white rice for my first time without having to use a rice cooker!! Thank you, i rinsed it a few times and used a pinch of salt! Chefs kiss !
Yes I myself just made an attempt with the long grain and while I just put a tiiiiinnnny bit too much water. The rice still looks and feels excellent. God bless you for the instructions and guidance with this. I’ve got this saved and will officially be my guideline for future projects.
I am not usually the type that would go to people or on the internet saying things like "I'm Asian" but, this had to be done. Your rice is too wet. Trust me, I am Asian.
Exactly, that's what I thought too. The rice looks okay, borderline porridge, but after the fork went in, it was completely mushed. Less water, less steam.
I completely agree. I like the rice to individualize as grain when it's finished. In my opinion, they've done two things slightly incorrect. The first thing was that they've used too much water. I always go 1 3/4 liquid for every cup of rice (I don't ever use brown rice). So, 1 cup of rice = 1 3/4 cup of water (chicken or vegetable stock is WAY BETTER, though). The second issue is how they've incorporated the rice to the water. You add the water to the pot _before_ the rice. You bring the water to a rolling boil, then dump in the rice, without stirring in the rice. After all the rice is dropped in one go, you stir it _one_ time so you don't release tons more starch. Once you've done that, bring the rice and liquid back to a rolling boil, reduce to simmer and cover for ~17 minutes. Turn off heat, move pot over cold burner grate, and steam with no heat for an additional 6-8 minutes. And, that should make the perfect white rice.
I was thinking that it looks wet borderline mushy. I can do that on my own! Best rice I’ve tried so far are baby basmati and sprouted short grain brown rice. 😜
On the 58-year-old Hispanic male and I tried your recipe followed your instructions and for the first time I've ever made rice it's the best rice I've ever had. Lol
“How to cook the perfect rice” 1. Get a rice cooker or pot with tight fitting lid. 2. Wash your rice in a bowl just barely covered with water and gentle agitate with fingers. Drain well and repeat 2-3 times till water runs mostly clear. 3. Put rice in pot and level out. 4. Using your index finger, add enough water till it reaches the first knuckle. 5. (Rice cooker) close with lid and put on cook mode. (Stove top) Turn heat low for 20-25 minutes. 6. Let rice sit for 5 minutes before opening the lid. This allows the steam to settle and makes the perfect rice every time :) P E R F E C T R I C E E V E R Y T I M E !!!!!
This is great. I've relied so much on my rice cooker to the point I forgot to cook rice properly without one. Goes to show that going back to the basics is always important. Thanks
*How to cook rice (as told by an Asian) :* 1. Get rice and rinse it. Don't use a sieve. Take a pan and clean the rice. Don't push in them. Just make sure your fingers are touching them and not actually breaking to clean them. Add water, rinse, drain. It do it until the water turns clear. 2. Let the rice soak for a while. I do it 10 minutes tops to make them perfectly. Drain that water. 3. Now get water gain and add your rice to a pan. Let them on a full flame for 3-4 minutes. 4. Simmer down the flame and let them cook for another 10-15 minutes depending upon the quantity. *DON'T TOUCH THE RICE WHILE COOKING THEM. YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK THEM.* 5. After cooking them, check them if they have cooked but lifting them and pressing on them. 6. If yes, turn teh flame off. And cover the rice. Let them cool for another 5 minutes without the flame. You don't want to cover the rice while making them. It'll make them mushy. 7. Drain the water out. Ratios: For one cup of rice, use 2.5 cups of water. This is for standard white rice. Water is never excess. You can keep adding it if it evaporates. You'll drain it out in the end. *Alternatives: Buy a rice cooker.*
I had never made rice before so I followed your recipe and it turned out pretty good, I added more water because it evaporated, im pretty sure I put to much water because the bottom layer of my rice turned a bit soggy so ill add less water next time. thanks for the help!
"Yup no Asian uses measurements" that's because we're used to finetuning by our senses, not numbers on a book. humid day, soak for less time, use less water. how to tell how much water to use? when it's 1 pinky joint over the level of the rice in the rice cooker. who the hell needs measuring cups?
Decoy i disagree with the cups of water she uses ... for brown rice you need 1 cup of rice using 2 cups of water .. and also she fail to mention you have to presoak the brown rice for at least 8hrs in water in the fridge and brown rice takes 1hr 20-30mins

1. ALWAYS wash your rice until the water is clear 2.while the rice is cooking DONT mix it 3.who needs a measuring cup when you have your hands 4. get a rice cooker and BTW that rice was so mushy Anyways this is how us Africans cook rice🍚😊.
Fredde This means if you measure how much water you need for the rice to be cooked, first you need to mix rice and water. Then you let your finger be submerged to the mixture until the tip of your finger touches the rice. To measure how much water, the water level must be touching the first or second wrinkle of your finger (depends on the breed of rice you are using) My English is so weird.
I agree with not stirring. My rice used to always come out bad until someone told me that. Usually with Mexican rice but hearing everyone say it about white rice I'm gonna start doing it with that also.
Omg this saved my life🤣I started making red beans and rice with smoked sausage in the crockpot.And instantly went into panic when I read the rice needed to be cooked on the stove.Thank you❤️it came out perfect!!
@@poffydaisy5134 Well in many western countries rice is in fact a side dish. Their main dish is usually some kind of protein. That's part of the reason why ppl here can't really adopt to certain techniques that's used in places where rice is the 'staple food', like Asia. And I'll have to say there's nothing wrong with that. I personally think ppl should be allowed and encouraged to enjoy rice without going full on and make it a 'main dish'
@@winterwin6971 Either your rice cooker is really bad, or you've got the wrong setting. Usually the bottom is the same as the top. Rice cooker should have only 1 setting and if you use something with multiple settings like an instant pot or so, it should still has a rice setting. It should bring the water up to a boil (the rice is moving around and would not stick to the bottom) and after that it steams the rice (it should be the same temperature everywhere). The only way I get hard rice with a rice cooker is when I reheat my rice in the rice cooker (or if i use not enough water=crunchy uncooked rice). Since there is no more water, the rice at the bottom gets all the heat and until the top part gets warm, the bottom part will be hard (Tip: just use a microwave or fry it in a pan).
Yesterday I spent about 20 minutes in an appliance aisle at Target debating whether to purchase a $25 rice cooker or a $200 one. In the end I decided to to not be impulsive and bought neither. Came home, watched this video and made perfect (or at least pretty darn good) rice last night. Thank you. I can hold off on the rice cooker for now. ;)
Lived in Asia for years, deep respect for how well the chop sticks are used. I did my best, but I refused to use forks to eat anything. They would sell rice triangles at 7-11, which was ideal for running long distances. The rice is seasoned perfectly. We do NOT have good rice in America. Rice overseas is delicious. Why
Bless you. I had all but given up on myself. My Jamaican ancestors, amazing cooks and Dutch pot magicians, had all but done the same. I can make curry chicken and stew peas, but my rice was always hit or miss. Next step: rice cooker. Then I found this video and made fluffy, delicious Basmati rice...twice. Thank you for saving my legacy.
if i have a rice cooking looking that horrid, my parents would disown me for being an idiot. hell, my broken rice cookers over the years still didn't have any scratches in the inner bowl.
James Ryderal i guess it's a state where something is at its best. But you're right. Like how pasta should be al dente but there are those who prefer it soggy.
Hello, I tried your method for a long grain Jasmine rice and it came out perfectly fluffy! I have a rice cooker but I usually use it to cook brown rice. I cooked a cup of white rice tonight for tomorrow morning’s fried rice. Thank you!
It's better to let it sit in a few cups of water and agitate it, than letting it run through a sieve. Waste of water and not very effective at getting the starch out. Don't need to wash the sieve either.
Too much water = become congee. We as Chinese eat rice alll day, we cook depend on personal taste, for example , I like medium hard. The rice cooker is better than manual pot
I am Peruvian and all our dishes are also with rice. Usually at home we prepare it in a rice cooker. We put a little oil and fry a couple of minced garlic. Then the rice (well washed) and if you made 5 cups of rice it is 4 and 1/2 of water, we add a pinch of salt and that's it, we like grained rice, not sticky.
When I saw her stirring the cooked rice,I was like what the hell?!!!! Coz if I did the same my mom would tell me that if you want to make a paste then go and grind it.ROFL!!!! PS: PLEASE DON'T STIR RICE LIKE THAT.
İbrahim Boyraz I don't know that coz we don't stir rice. After the rice is cooked,just took it with a large spoon(we have a special kinda spoon)to serve.☺☺
Who the hell mixes the rice once it's cooked... my mum would disown me if I do that..... you should take out rice from one side And people while washing the rice use your hands so that the dirt is taken out.....
ayeba khan , I always slightly mix the rice after it's cooked in my rice cooker. Just my personal thing, but it never gets mushy like how the video looked.
Well it worked thank you. I’m 24 years old I don’t really know how to cook but it came out perfect thanks to you. I wasn’t ever allowed to be in the kitchen growing up so I never learned to cook. But thank you . I made some chick breast with the white rice.
STEP 1: GET DA RICE STEP 2: WASH DA RICE STEP 3: ADD DA WATER STEP 4: TAKE DA RICE COOK-ERRRR AND BAM TIP: USE DA EXCESS WASH WATER TO WATER YA PLANTS! 🍚 🍚 🍚 (China know her rice 😂)
Good one! I have never cooked rice…in fact anything…I don’t even like rice. But in the last couple of days I wanted to eat a bowl of it. Cooked it based on the video, and it came out good :)
It's a little bit sticky but I wouldn't mind. You can just let the residual steam heat sticky rice a bit more to get it perfect, or just leave the rice cooker at warm. Hard or burnt rice is annoying to eat and a huge waste.
I love how almost everyone in the comments are flexing how good they cook rice like they all didn’t look up or just watch a video on how to cook rice

This is great. I've relied so much on my rice cooker to the point I forgot to cook rice properly without one.
Goes to show that going back to the basics is always important. Thanks
DON’T EVER STIR WHITE RICE WHILE IT’S STILL COOKING! THAT JUST RUINS THE TEXTURE.

I think we already met before. ^^
Too bad Indonesian people had done that when their rice cooker doesn't work/don't have a rice cooker.
THANK'S FOR THE ADVICE!
*How to cook rice (as told by an Asian) :*
1. Get rice and rinse it. Don't use a sieve. Take a pan and clean the rice. Don't push in them. Just make sure your fingers are touching them and not actually breaking to clean them.
Add water, rinse, drain. It do it until the water turns clear.
2. Let the rice soak for a while. I do it 10 minutes tops to make them perfectly. Drain that water.
3. Now get water gain and add your rice to a pan. Let them on a full flame for 3-4 minutes.
4. Simmer down the flame and let them cook for another 10-15 minutes depending upon the quantity. *DON'T TOUCH THE RICE WHILE COOKING THEM. YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK THEM.*
5. After cooking them, check them if they have cooked but lifting them and pressing on them.
6. If yes, turn teh flame off. And cover the rice. Let them cool for another 5 minutes without the flame. You don't want to cover the rice while making them. It'll make them mushy.
7. Drain the water out.
Ratios: For one cup of rice, use 2.5 cups of water. This is for standard white rice.
Water is never excess. You can keep adding it if it evaporates. You'll drain it out in the end.
*Alternatives: Buy a rice cooker.*
or: wash it three times with your fingers, dump in the water and cook with a rice cooker
I had never made rice before so I followed your recipe and it turned out pretty good, I added more water because it evaporated, im pretty sure I put to much water because the bottom layer of my rice turned a bit soggy so ill add less water next time. thanks for the help!
SUBSCRIBE ME OR I'LL TAKE YOUR MOM wow I am an animal then... look at all those steps lmao
@Erva Asena Bozkurt yes pilaf. Although I don't like the ratio mentioned here. We usually do 1 to 1 1/2
My mum taught me how to cook rice when I was 8 but when it comes to measuring of water lmao I always use the finger method😂
"Lol you guys suck"
-Every asian watching
Random Bald Guy True Dat
Yea
"Yup no Asian uses measurements" that's because we're used to finetuning by our senses, not numbers on a book. humid day, soak for less time, use less water. how to tell how much water to use? when it's 1 pinky joint over the level of the rice in the rice cooker. who the hell needs measuring cups?
Random Bald Guy yes
Very true
I did it! I've struggled with cooking white rice, lol. Rinsing the rice made all the difference! Thank you, thank you so much!

Decoy it actually takes 20-25mins this video is all wrong
Decoy i disagree with the cups of water she uses ... for brown rice you need 1 cup of rice using 2 cups of water .. and also she fail to mention you have to presoak the brown rice for at least 8hrs in water in the fridge and brown rice takes 1hr 20-30mins

Love this video. I started cooking rice two years ago for this instruction and it was great. Been doing this since.
Is it me or is the rice actually looks way too sticky and wet
Nope I also thought the same I always don't like my rice sticky I find it gross 🤢🤢
their rice looks as if they didn't follow their own advice
Advent Calendular you have a point🤙🏻🤙🏻
how to cook delicious rice.
first step: buy a rice cooker
Advent Calendular
*No no, he has a point*
1. ALWAYS wash your rice until the water is clear
2.while the rice is cooking DONT mix it
3.who needs a measuring cup when you have your hands
4. get a rice cooker
and BTW that rice was so mushy
Anyways this is how us Africans cook rice🍚😊.
Queen Mia Dennis can you elaborate what you mean with 3 ? How do you measure with your hand
And you wash rice stirring it with your hands. There was no starch coming outta that strainer smh
Fredde This means if you measure how much water you need for the rice to be cooked, first you need to mix rice and water. Then you let your finger be submerged to the mixture until the tip of your finger touches the rice. To measure how much water, the water level must be touching the first or second wrinkle of your finger (depends on the breed of rice you are using)
My English is so weird.
I agree with not stirring. My rice used to always come out bad until someone told me that. Usually with Mexican rice but hearing everyone say it about white rice I'm gonna start doing it with that also.
the cover need ? which moment put the saly? is it real that sa;lt scary high temperature and better to salt only in the plate?? thanks
When you’re Mexican and don’t measure anything 😞
bruh being Peruvian we don’t even use recipes. or even barely cookbooks. if we see a pic of food, we just recreate it😒
only the real ones dont need to do anyrhing, we eat the cookbook
I eat my own thoughts for dinner, no need for foolish Earthly food
@@xf_art_ I eat air for dinner, whole new level right? I don't need those hooman's foods.
Tho u just measured how Mexican u are by saying that
Omg this saved my life🤣I started making red beans and rice with smoked sausage in the crockpot.And instantly went into panic when I read the rice needed to be cooked on the stove.Thank you❤️it came out perfect!!

“you can use rice for side dishes, salads”
i eat it by itself...
Ew who does that lmao
@@poffydaisy5134 Well in many western countries rice is in fact a side dish. Their main dish is usually some kind of protein. That's part of the reason why ppl here can't really adopt to certain techniques that's used in places where rice is the 'staple food', like Asia. And I'll have to say there's nothing wrong with that. I personally think ppl should be allowed and encouraged to enjoy rice without going full on and make it a 'main dish'
@@poffydaisy5134 me ?
Same
@@poffydaisy5134 me :p
00:08 Never bring that "perfect rice" to an Asian household.
all the rice in the video is too mushy (in my opinion)
Those rice looks broke to me
I liked mushy rice more than damn hard rice (bottom of the rice cooker)
@@winterwin6971 Either your rice cooker is really bad, or you've got the wrong setting. Usually the bottom is the same as the top. Rice cooker should have only 1 setting and if you use something with multiple settings like an instant pot or so, it should still has a rice setting. It should bring the water up to a boil (the rice is moving around and would not stick to the bottom) and after that it steams the rice (it should be the same temperature everywhere). The only way I get hard rice with a rice cooker is when I reheat my rice in the rice cooker (or if i use not enough water=crunchy uncooked rice). Since there is no more water, the rice at the bottom gets all the heat and until the top part gets warm, the bottom part will be hard (Tip: just use a microwave or fry it in a pan).
@@winterwin6971 me too :3
Yesterday I spent about 20 minutes in an appliance aisle at Target debating whether to purchase a $25 rice cooker or a $200 one. In the end I decided to to not be impulsive and bought neither. Came home, watched this video and made perfect (or at least pretty darn good) rice last night. Thank you. I can hold off on the rice cooker for now. ;)
Just used this recipe to make white rice for the first time and it came out perfect! Soft and fluffy delicious rice thank you so much !
This recipe had solidified my rice making skills. Y'all make me feel like a pro. Cheers!
Americans: Eat rice with fork
Asians: **triggered**
tees plo asians can be american dude
Us east africans LIVE on rice too and that pissed me off.
im chinese and i eat with a fork bruh
Lived in Asia for years, deep respect for how well the chop sticks are used. I did my best, but I refused to use forks to eat anything. They would sell rice triangles at 7-11, which was ideal for running long distances. The rice is seasoned perfectly. We do NOT have good rice in America. Rice overseas is delicious. Why
I’m not Asian but that triggers me too. 💀
Bless you. I had all but given up on myself. My Jamaican ancestors, amazing cooks and Dutch pot magicians, had all but done the same. I can make curry chicken and stew peas, but my rice was always hit or miss. Next step: rice cooker. Then I found this video and made fluffy, delicious Basmati rice...twice. Thank you for saving my legacy.

How to cook the perfect rice
Step 1: buy a rice cooker
Step 2: there is no other steps
True
Ysmael Dauz lol you bought the cooker but didn't use it... Okay I'll go now... :P
Anyone else cringe when they saw all the scrapes on the bottom of the rice cooker at 3:45? Seriously, never use metal utensils with teflon!
It's that easy tbh
if i have a rice cooking looking that horrid, my parents would disown me for being an idiot. hell, my broken rice cookers over the years still didn't have any scratches in the inner bowl.
Perfectly cooked rice should be fluffy, with obvious separate grains.
Hello Klieo how can there be a perfectly cooked rice if there is something called preferences?
James Ryderal i guess it's a state where something is at its best. But you're right. Like how pasta should be al dente but there are those who prefer it soggy.
Hello Klieo yeah I'm one of those people who find pleasure eating mushy food. Idk why but it's so pleasurable.
sushi rice has added vinegar. that's different. even then, good sushi rice has the grains sticky but separate.
I agree with you.
I am asian.
We filipinos use our fingers to measure the right amount of water hahaha
Ken Prado Indian use too
Sameeee 😂
All asians really lol
*Videonun Perde Arkasi* youtubem.video/r/
asians also do that. Don't feel too special. Other ethnicities also
Who else is here for the 20th time because they don't make rice very often & forgot how to make it properly?! 😅
Me all the time cuz mine never gets soft enough so I add more water to it and it just makes it soggy LOL

The long grain rice was too mushy imo. If you use that type of rice to make any indian/pakistani dish, your fam will think its a joke. 🙅🙅

just use the finger line method with your rice cooker.
Christiane Needs A Life I trust you, as you're Asian.
Not everyone has the same size of fingers and that only really works for short grain white rice
True af
Or 1 cup of water = 2 cups of water
Christiane Needs A Life my grandma teaches me that method too!
Hello, I tried your method for a long grain Jasmine rice and it came out perfectly fluffy! I have a rice cooker but I usually use it to cook brown rice. I cooked a cup of white rice tonight for tomorrow morning’s fried rice. Thank you!
I use these instructions every time I make rice. This time I added the right amount of salt and it came out so good! Ty.
her style of washing the rice can save time but why does it feel so wrong 😢
because it's not the true asian way
@@jellybelly111 uSe yOuR iNdEx fIngEr, fIrSt jOint
@@jellybelly111 and it isn't the true carribean people way.
wasting water aiyahhh
It's better to let it sit in a few cups of water and agitate it, than letting it run through a sieve. Waste of water and not very effective at getting the starch out. Don't need to wash the sieve either.
Too much water = become congee.
We as Chinese eat rice alll day, we cook depend on personal taste, for example , I like medium hard. The rice cooker is better than manual pot
Sirui Gu Lol I was gonna say too much water makes a yummy dish.
Sirui Gu ASIANS NOT JUST CHINA ASIANS EVEN INDIAN
Yep. Congee is delicious. I love adding shrimp and veggies to mine. It's so good.
What asian would use that way? Us asians use our secret power called the rice cooker

First time ever making rice, and I I just want to say, this was amazing! Such good rice, came out perfect!
OMG!! For the first time EVER my rice came out PERFECT!! Amazing! Thanks so much 😊🎉❤
I am Peruvian and all our dishes are also with rice. Usually at home we prepare it in a rice cooker. We put a little oil and fry a couple of minced garlic. Then the rice (well washed) and if you made 5 cups of rice it is 4 and 1/2 of water, we add a pinch of salt and that's it, we like grained rice, not sticky.
5 cups is a lot of rice
Confirmo

5 cups of grained rice. But could it be five cups of white rice??

Best rice tutorial ever. Just trust the process and it will turn out perfectly every single time. No rice cooker needed in my life. 10/10
You must ALWAYS wash the rice until the water is clean.
Fejk right I was like your doing it wronggggggg
Yea especially if you don't want to eat any bugs or chemicals from the rice
i also like to let my rice soak before cooking..
No you don't, all the nutrition and vitamin will just washed away, two or three times is enough
Egy Rinaldi-Putra white rice doesn't have much nutrtition anyway, most people like eating it as a filler or for the taste
Who the hell mixes the rice once it's cooked... my mum would disown me if I do that..... you should take out rice from one side
And people while washing the rice use your hands so that the dirt is taken out.....
ayeba khan , I always slightly mix the rice after it's cooked in my rice cooker. Just my personal thing, but it never gets mushy like how the video looked.
ayeba khan you cook tha rice withh a rice cooker than put the watter and boil stupid laowai
Yep. Sometimes it feels like so much fun when I wash the rice using my hand.
Ayeban Khan In America rice is not dirty, its mostly sold already prewashed, so no need for rinsing.
As one of Caribbean roots...it’s never an OPTION to not wash rice if pressed for time. I can see my ancestors judging now 😩🤣
Right😭
Well it worked thank you.
I’m 24 years old I don’t really know how to cook but it came out perfect thanks to you. I wasn’t ever allowed to be in the kitchen growing up so I never learned to cook. But thank you .

I am not asian like everyone else in the comments, but I can tell you that rice is too sticky....
It's a little bit sticky but I wouldn't mind. You can just let the residual steam heat sticky rice a bit more to get it perfect, or just leave the rice cooker at warm. Hard or burnt rice is annoying to eat and a huge waste.
