For real, dead basic rice cookers are how the rice-staple diaspora have been doing. The invention of the rice cooker was like the move from the atlatl to the bow and arrow.
the first recipe where you added lemon in rice is not strange. we South Indians have a dish called "lemon rice" where we pretty much add lemon and spices like muatard, pulses and green chili and lemon juice into it. it's a wonderful dish trust me. we even make "tamarind rice" by adding tamarind juice into rice
That Greek lemon chicken dill soup recipe was literally one of this week’s healthy dinners on my eMeals app (except mine had me fry onions before adding broth, and mine didn’t say parsley)! I made it yesterday!
When he said "...around the outside," I automatically heard Chef John in my head saying "...around the outside, around the outside," like a delightful background chorus.
Finally figured out the name of the soup my Italian grandma has been cooking for me for years thanks to this video. Avgolemono is my favorite soup of all time
“well-separated grains” Asians: Nope 😆 that said, I looooooove brown rice, but it definitely requires more water than white rice. Much healthier too, especially if you have health conditions like diabetes (doesn’t make your levels skyrocket). Love eating brown rice with limu ahi poke (or seaweed with raw chunks of high quality tuna for you non-Hawaii types).
“Nobody likes scrambled egg soup”. Sorry Andy, loads of people love this soup. It’s called Egg Drop Soup and is about $2 at your local Chinese Take out restaurant.
Rice doesn't REALLY need it. asian cooking tends to use a lot of salty ingredients. soy, fish sauce etc. And if you throw that in the water it will be wasted. If you aren't using any of those then yeah, I'd throw salt on the water too
@@policynotmet8279 yeah for pasta you really need to heavily salt the water. For rice I don't doubt that it can be ok with seasoning it after it's cooked, but yeah I don't see why not season it while it cooks, I feel that would turn out better... Unless there are unknown to me reasons why it's best not to.
For the avgolemono: Try whisking the egg whites first (make frothy) then add the yokes. It will be an airier soup. Also try adding lemon zest and a bit of ginger for extra goodness (and of course freshly ground pepper).
for someone that grew up on that stuff it meant a lot that he said it was his favorite! (also I expected him to not be able to pronounce γ but I still found it funny when he said it...)
Sentence starts of with a higher pitch then ends with a deeper granular base. Almost like the reverse positive / upward inflection that a lot of Aussies have.
Please make Wanda's Breakfast she mentioned in the first episode of WandaVision. And make the video in black & white or use a lot of grey food coloring.
Egg Lemon Soup. It's my favorite, too! I haven't seen too many popular cooking shows make this. Thank you. Will be trying your recipe against my Mom's. Don't worry, I'll tell her she won.
What if for a binging episode, you did a few of the recipes from the popular indie game Night in the Woods (gourmet donuts, pierogis, there’s a lot of food in this game).
Your poor man, I don’t know what I’d do without cilantro in my life, also, just bought your book, and the intro/forward were worth the buy alone. Love you man, changed my outlook on cooking and made me realize again why food is so important to me
i had to laugh when he tried to pronounce avgolemono - he actually got it on the last try lol you just put the emphasis on the LE - avgoLEmono. there are so many different versions, but it's just the best soup ever
as an Asian i implore everyone to just use a rice cooker. its literally the best way to make rice for most consistent result. more complicated =/= better.
Why did it have to be this time that looked up brown rice meals to find this amazing list of recipes in one video! I've been subscribed for years and watch a lot of your content on repeat most nights. With all the times I've been looking through rice videos, why is it now I find the perfect one?! TH-cam has a lot of work to do.
Cooking your rice in stock instead of just water is also a game changer! same goes for couscous, I add stock cubes to the boiling water and let it dissolve before adding the rice.
Here in Greece "avgolemono" is only the last step of this soup(avgo=egg, lemono=lemon). Also this soup is what we call traditional chicken soup. Avgolemono is a something that we do in other foods too, especially stews. In general, in Greece we put lemon everywhere!
as a brazilian it’s so crazy for me to watch rice being cooked without onions, garlic and salt even though he adds things later it’s just so weird specially brown rice
Somehow I hope this would be a video of uncle Roger try to tolerate western method of rice cooking. I couldn't expect how he would react to the soup part though
Right there with you, but other than the oil and the lack of a wok, I don´t see much from Uncle Roger to complain. Maybe the spicy thing at the end? I am sure he will find something!
I totally thought Babish was going to channel the great Chef John and say “drizzle 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil around the outside… Around the outside… Around the outside.“
I like that you showed your process for making the brown rice powder even if it ended up as undesirable. Showing a drive for experimentation no matter what the outcome is what I keep coming back for. Will stay a long time fan!
had avgolemono soup from a little turkish food stall in my local market last year, loved it, didn't remember the name. rediscovered it through this video, ended up making it for dinner tonight and it's safe to say i think i will probably make it every week
5:53 Let me tell you about "Einlaufsuppe" oder "Eintropfsuppe", a special soup from Austria and parts of Germany where yes, you let the beaten eggs scramble in hot soup. And it's delicious.
For Thai Laab, we pound toasted rice powder with mortar and pestle. It should be like sand texture. Not sure how the blender works out with its texture.

Right? Just wash your rice, add the correct amount of water for whatever rice you need and forget about it.

Maybe, but not every one has/ can afford to have a rice cooker (especially if where you live they're hard to get), so using a saucepan is just fine
