I like how he emphasizes washing the rice. I used to use the finger method when I worked at US restaurants but now I just know if you put one cup of rice you're going to need twice as much water. If you're one of those that thinks washing the rice is not necessary make one batch of wash rice and one batch of non wash rice and you will see and taste the difference
You are right , We need to wash rice mainly because of the way it's cultivated and stored before it gets into sealed bags 🙂 rice contains not just startch but also lot of dust and impurities which will go inside our body if we do not wash it properly 🙂
Just tried this right before boiling a pot of brown rice for 4 ppl and oh ma loard, I've never cooked a more enjoyable bowl of rice until today. Thank you, Uncle Roger! 🍚
I was taught by my Pilipino friends a similar method. I rinse until water is clear and add water, however I touch the top grains of the rice and measure the water to my first knuckle. You measure from the bottom and the second knuckle...it was interesting to me because I measured both ways and I didn't have to adjust my water at all! they were both right on and my rice was excellent!
Theres nothing curious about it. An knuckle is a knuckle and it deosn´t make a difference, whether you use the top of the rise as an starting point and ad an knuckle, or the botton of the pot and addind the high of the rice on top.
wash rice finger method for 1:1 water rice method bring rice to a boil, then stir once right after put on lid and let simmer for 10 mins then turn heat off but do not remove lid for 5 mins
I’ve never cooked rice before without it being boil in a bag or using a microwave, I used this technique and my rice turned out amazing, this is gonna save me money as it’s so much cheaper to buy a large bag of rice as opposed to the pouches or boil in the bag ones, thank you 👏👏👏
Hey uncle Roger!! Tried out your way of cooking rice yesterday and it's the best rice I've ever ate! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, I loved it very very much
This is absolutely perfect! I've never got the amount of water and heat right, so my rice was always either hard, or turned to mush. But with these instructions it turned out amazing!
This video is making fluffy rice (rice to water ratio is 1:1). This is different from making stir-fry rice (rice to water ratio is 1:0.9) ! Fundamental stir-fry rice is a combination in sequence of garlic - very hot oil (for classic aromatic fragrance)-> salt - very hot oil (fried salt releases a special saltiness fragrance) -> chopped onions (for sweet taste) -> add prepared cooked dry rice (rice to water ratio is 1:0.9 or use left-over fluffy rice) -> scrambled egg(s) -> soy sauce (for additional saltiness taste and mild Monosodium glutamate (MSG) - Umami seasoning) -> last but not least, fresh chopped green onion leaves on top of stir-fry rice (for additional present freshness smell and presentation. You can add-in your local favor(s) such as 1) carrots and peas 2) meat or/and meat floss 3) different sauce(s) (suit for the locals) 4) Hot Jam (from Jamie Oliver Fried Rice show) But no matter what... Try to follow the the classic stir-fry rice cooking method and enjoy the success first. Then It can open up your world of joyfulness to enjoy all around world classic rice cuisines. Blessing and Happy cooking:)
volume = area x height for example, volume of one Cup = area x 1 portion of finger length, volume of two Cups = area x 2 portion of finger length, volume of three Cups = area x 3 portion of finger length, so on so forth. Happy cooking and blessing.
This rice cooker is perfect! I use it only for me th-cam.com/users/postUgkxviiltW7NlHbp_VL_bLbIkbLAvILVhnia and sometimes me and my friend so the small size is really great for counter space since we never need to make all that much. I have been using it now for about 2 months and it still works perfectly. I use it for both rice and vegetables (better for harder vegetables like green beans and carrots, it made my broccoli way too smoosh-y for my taste). It keeps your rice on keep warm automatically which I really like, and I’ve used a few of the settings, flash rice, white rice, brown rice, and steam, and they all work super well for me, although I don’t like smooshy rice so I’ll usually use flash rice. It’s super easy to clean either in dishwasher or hand wash, and it’s pretty easy to get rice out of the grooves by where the container comes out. I assume this one will last me a long time but if I ever need another I will definitely be getting this one again!
I first saw Ken Hom Cook rice on tv correctly (the way my mum cooks it and most west Africans). I was so happy to see someone cook rice right and uncle Roger says the same. Its not just the east Asian way.
You are the best!!! I have not ever been able to make good rice, not even Uncle Ben. But thanks to The Most High, having you make this video, I have made my very first pot of good white rice! I am so happy 😁👍 💯❤️
I was taught the finger thing loooong time ago works great. I have this weird old pot that is thick and makes perfect rice every time . I don't even remember where or when I got it, I've had it that long. My favorite rice is Jasmine
I tried like 5 different "superior" methods with weighing and rinsinge till water was completely transparent. Then tried different ratios of rice and water. THIS is the true way of getting the perfect rice:water ratio. Thanks
I just cooked my jasmin rice for meal prep and i gotta say: god damn, it’s so nice! The texture is on point, no water whatsoever. Although I planned cooking it for tomorrow, I just had to eat multiple spoons of it. Thank you kind sir for still producing content, I think that I’ll watch more of your videos in the future. Have a nice day :)
Definitely need to get to know your stove. In my kitchen, this exact recipe would result in crunchy, undercooked rice. I have to do one notch above low for 15 minutes with a 5 minute steam off heat. Low on my stove is like having it turned off 😂
There are two ways to cook rice a) the evaporation or drain method and b) Absorption method - this is the latter . ( In our region we add a pinch or two of salt while cooking to give the rice an added flavour , also few drops of oil to prevent the rice from sticking when using absorption method). Watching many South East Asian videos I realised it's the prefered method for South East Asian cuisines 🙂
South East Asia, I think prefer the absorption method--ALWAYS closed-lid pot to a boil (medium fire/heat) till the water is almost absorbed by the rice, then steam time--turn the fire/heat at it's lowest till all the water is absorbed by the rice , give it a good 4-5 minutes steaming and it's ready. At least in the Philippines, opening the lid while waiting for the rice to boil is a no-no and frowned upon (by moms with a "tsinelas" in hand, ready to spank your curious ass, opening the rice pot when it's not ready). If you have to open your lid to reduce the water then you are at "beginner's level" hahaha.
My rice cooking recipe Malaysian Rice ( depends on you ) Wash the rice like video but only 2 times ... Then pour the water in , we don’t measure . Just rub the rice until it is equally flat (all process under the water ) Then stick ur finger on top the flat rice but below the water If the water is too much than the first joint of your finger then pour it out a little bit , if less then pour water into it Hope you guys like my way of making rice
@@ninjatastyFOOD Actually this water measurement makes more sense ... if we measure above the flat rice otherwise if we have a hole then the amount of water needed might change depending how much rice we are cooking & how shallow or deep the pan is
Don’t understand the “finger method” Is it good only for 2 cups of rice cooked in similar bowl you used? What if I cook 6+ cups of rice in a more/less shallow container? the finger method won’t work! ( if measuring from the base..)
Me cook rice like: after washing rice, use the rice water to water plants, and basically just eye measure the water level when it covers up all the rice just by a bit(3 cups of rice)
I had to scroll down for a long while, just to find a recipe made by an Asian cook, because all the white cooks didn’t wash the rice and I got second hand embarrassment and anxiety smh.
Honestly a lot of them do and the hygiene reasons aren't really a thing to worry about in the west. Rice comes packaged in a sealed container and doesn't contain anything you wouldn't want to eat where I live, so the only reason why you'd wash your rice is to remove the starch in the surface (which I like to do but it's okay if some people don't).
I’ve tried this today and water is not enough to cook all that rice, also the time of cooking you recommend (10 min) it’s actually less than half of the cooking time. Thanks for making this even more stressful to make
Personally I measure by eye, so just covering the rice. Also I don't cook for full 10 mins, maybe 3-5 mins then steam for 20 mins with heat off. Turns out perfect every time. No stodgy stuck together rice :D
Huge fan of uncle Roger, used your video to figure out the fiiiiinger method. Rice would have been perfect but I forgot to stir after the boil. So it stuck together. But for my first time cooking rice. It was pretty good.
@@edwinnnaa are you all messing with me? Lolll I am really getting more confused. What if I have guests to feed. Not that I ever do, but this stuff bothers me. I Never get this finger stuff down. Lol
@@brianzembic I don't exactly know how to do it, but you probably need to see where the rice goes to on your finger and proportionally put the water a few millimeters higher. What are the proportions? Idk, up to you 😂 They probably change according to the amount of rice, so good luck!
Uncle Roger deserves some kind of medal for this simple instruction on one of the world's most common food staples. Thank you uncle Roger, on behalf of the world 🌎 and in particular thank you from one white American who did not know how to cook rice properly. You have shown me the way and I will never repay my debt to you 🤍
Ok we measured the water with our finger n it still came out to be two cups of water. Hey we aren't going to hate on tradition but the 2 cups of water to one cup of rice works great too! 🤷
Whaaa maaan thank you first time i maked a perfect white rice , and add some souces , thaank u maan i now dont have it to go every day in restoran to eat rice ❤
I’ve been using your technique to make my rice and it’s been delicious always, but today I cooked it on a different pot and now it’s extremely soapy :(
@@cringelover6919 Rice cooker in invented for convience man because even before it was created we asian use cauldron to cook rice 🤨, also you can cook rice in bamboos even without those two "if" you know how to do it ☝️.
which type of rice is that? we have many types of rice in Italy and they are all short grain. the only long grain we import is the basmati. what do you use?
This is basic plain steamed rice. Consumption of plain steamed rice is meant to clear your palete between different courses of other dishes. If you want a little flavor, add a teaspoon coconut oil or toss in a stick of Chinese sausage (lap cheong 臘腸) before cooking.
I make my rice almost the same. 1. Rice in pan. 2. Rinse rice until water clear. 3. Add double amount of water to rice (eg 4 oz rice, add 8 fl oz water). 4. Bring pan to boil. 5 Turn heat down to level 4 (induction), lid on, cook for 6 minutes. 6. Remove pan from heat, keep lid on, allow to steam for 12 minutes, then its done.
I've always been an annoyingly picky eater, and I've never been able to eat rice. But I want to get over that and finally cook and eat rice. So I'll have a go at this tonight, and see how it goes :)
Well, I was gonna say...If you grew up in my generation, you would starve to death...No room for "picky eating "..Eat it...Starve...you choose....Cheers 🍻!!!!

If he says save the rinsed water for your garden then he knows how to make rice
& don't forget for the facial too!!!
@@ninjatastyFOOD I dont think I want an Asian facial bro
Or for your Hair 😊😌

Rice water is incredibly healthy !
Just look at the Yao women who always wash their hair with rice water.
Skip the facial, if is new fresh rice then its fine
For face cleansing and moisturizing I use Jamie Olivers wet olive oil rice.
Such a good idea. Let me know how you gets on :)

Use twice as much water? Then your rice is too wet and you have to strain it.......
Oh my days, just cooked the rice the Uncle Roger way And steamed for an extra five minutes... Best rice I've cooked in ages, thanks Uncle Roger 👌👌
You are welcome! 😊😊
Try adding coconut oil, bayleafs, cardamon pods and aniseed when boiling 👌👌👌 game changer

finger method for 1:1 water rice method
bring rice to a boil, then stir once
right after put on lid and let simmer for 10 mins
then turn heat off but do not remove lid for 5 mins
What about seasonings?
@@moca203 they usually come with the sauce. Like if you salt the rice and then put soy sauce on it, it's not tasty anymore.

Ok we measured the water with our finger n it still came out to be two cups of water. Hey we aren't going to hate on tradition but the 2 cups of water to one cup of rice works great too! 🤷
It's 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups of water to 1 cup of rice for me. That's close to the finger method.
It will depend on the rice you use. Default 1:1 works fine but some rice depending where its grown and the quality will need less or more water

which type of rice is that? we have many types of rice in Italy and they are all short grain. the only long grain we import is the basmati. what do you use?
Uncle Roger or Uncle Lee, what if you're only making rice for 1 lonely person? Does finger method work?
It will work, from 1 person to infinity :)
you can cut in in half, use half a finger joint rice and fill up water till the first line, works flawlessly!
Have leftover rice so tomorrow u can make egg fried rice. :)
I noticed that he turned it down to 1 on his induction hob. Will that be hot enough to continue simmering once boiling?
Haiyaaa, induction stove
THX, best rice I've ever cooked!
Bruh why did I think this was uncle roger
what about black rice? is the finger method viable?
you telling me that you don't put any oil, or spices?? even salt!!
This is basic plain steamed rice. Consumption of plain steamed rice is meant to clear your palete between different courses of other dishes. If you want a little flavor, add a teaspoon coconut oil or toss in a stick of Chinese sausage (lap cheong 臘腸) before cooking.
Would you?
thank you so much, i tried this and it was sooooooooooooo good!
UNCLE ROGER YOU USED A SAUCE PAN I THOUGHT WORLD WAR TWO WAS OVER AND WE HAVE TO USE TECHNOLOGY.
And an induction stove lol
we real asian use rice cooker,we asian treat rice cooker better than we treat our own child
My lowest possible setting won't let the rice simmer it'll just almost go cold, should I try a higher setting?
where the fireeeee?!!
Here 🔥🔥🔥
The accent alone got you a thumbs up! I love the video.
What? Induction cooking! Why no 🔥??? 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Just made this right now and it worked like a charm.
Yeah, so happy to hear ❤️❤️
Im a filipino and i can cook perfect rice without using finger just my instinct
YOU ARE GOOD!!!!
That’s some god tier rice cooking technique you got there
this is 101% filipino
Because using finger is like cooking rice 101 in the philippines
Listening to the ancestors 💖
I make my rice almost the same. 1. Rice in pan. 2. Rinse rice until water clear. 3. Add double amount of water to rice (eg 4 oz rice, add 8 fl oz water). 4. Bring pan to boil. 5 Turn heat down to level 4 (induction), lid on, cook for 6 minutes. 6. Remove pan from heat, keep lid on, allow to steam for 12 minutes, then its done.
Uncle Roger sad now
Don't use induction no wok hay
Wash it before cooking the rice
Use rice cooker
Haiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks for the reminder - I do need to get a rice cooker :)
I've always been an annoyingly picky eater, and I've never been able to eat rice. But I want to get over that and finally cook and eat rice. So I'll have a go at this tonight, and see how it goes :)
How'd it go?
@@fezii9043 really well thanks! I've cooked it twice now, and am slowly eating more and more each time :D getting there
@@jessicacaudwell-morley1227 dont use any induction stove and saucepan for cooking rice. Get a nice ricecooker and you'll be eating a lot more.
Well, I was gonna say...If you grew up in my generation, you would starve to death...No room for "picky eating "..Eat it...Starve...you choose....Cheers 🍻!!!!
@@lunascomments3024 one day I probably will, but at the moment I'm weirdly enjoying cooking it with a pan. It's oddly satisfying
sauce pan? ww2 is over. use technology, use rice cooker!
If I use one cup of rice instead of two, do I use the same line on my finger or do I use the lower one?
Less water. You're looking for about 2x water than rice, measured with your finger.
You're using a saucepan. Disqualified
I literally looked at three videos until I remember that you made one. The other three have NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING! 😭
