If you put Safran in it and other herbs it just depends on the additional umami flavour, so the broth is not so important. More the butter,oil, salt and herbs part.

    I am 77 and vegetarian, mostly vegan, for almost 50 years, I love your videos and have learned so much from you! Now I can share something with you. Try cooking your rice in an instant pot, I don't think you'll ever go back! For white rice, equal parts rice and liquid, 7 minutes. Let it set a few min then gradually release steam, fluff and serve. Extra delicious and grains don't stick together.

    My Thai ex-wife used to make a lot of different delicious rice dishes. She did the coconut milk (or cream) like you did, but she would add diced mango after cooking the rice - yum. Another one was she would make garlic/shallot oil by frying garlic and shallots in oil until toasted and crispy. She would use the oil for other things, but she would cook rice in chicken broth and add the toasted garlic and shallots - wow! What flavor!

    @Sauce Stache and friends. I've been cooking for almost 60 years now and am interested in world cooking and learning new methods. The Rissoto Pasta idea is one I've quickly adopted and I learned to cook rice in stock veggies and tomato from my Turkish-Indonesia sources. I had a thought that if you really WANT the Orange rice to taste more orangey the usual solution is squeeze the oranges yourself and before juicing remove all the outer orange zest (no white now). This will amp up the orange flavor immensely.. The Channel is fascinating. I'm surprised that there are vegans who don't know that Vegan butter exists. An extreme example of word aversion in current wordscape.

    Absolutely! Do this. Our default is chicken stock since we make some every week (chicken and veggie stock are super-easy and economical to make). For curries I throw in a star anise. For Mexican I pitch in a dollop of Comino. A dash of cayenne goes with almost anything. Sauté onions in the rice pan first, but from there yo9u can go in any direction. Habanero and coconut milk w/ a little brown sugar for an island vibe. Saute the dry rice in oil first for a durable fluffiness. Stir in mushrooms for a risotto. There are so many directions you can go with rice.

    When I rinse my rice, I change the number of rinses according to my purpose. For those unaware - the purpose of rinsing it isn't to remove dirt, it's to wash away microscopic starch dust that makes it sticky.
    For a nice light and fluffy, well separated rice, 5 times. If I want something with a little stick, such as for Sushi, etc, I'll do 3, and if I'm making something creamy like rice pudding, one quick rinse, so the starch can help create that creamy texture I prefer.

    With hainanese style chicken rice, they'll wash the rice let it dry a bit in a sieve, then on a medium heat cook it dry initally and then adding some butter, ginger and garlic later. Then adding it to the rice cooker to boil in chicken stock (but I've used vegetable broth too and works just as well). The drying out really helps the rice absorb more of the stock flavour. Would definitely suggest giving it a go.

    We have two traditional recipes in mexico, Arroz Verde and Arroz Rojo (green rice, red rice). Green rice is cooked in a Poblano chile puree. Red rice is cooked in tomato puree.

    2 methods I love for different rice types. First is jeera rice, where you toast cumin seed in ghee and add a cinnamon stick, a few cardamom pods, some bay leaf, and a star anise in with some basmati rice. Optional addition of a little minced cilantro makes this amazing with so many dishes. Second is a nice yellow rice with a short or medium grain rice, add onion and garlic powder, dried parsley, a bit of black pepper, turmeric, and cook the rice with broth. These are my 2 favourites

    Coincidence that I tried using Trader Joe’ s Coconut coffee cream to the cookies

    I recommend cooking rice in beer.
    Cook some finely minced onion in oil until translucent, add your rice, then add beer as your cooking liquid. Bring to a boil and then down to a simmer. Once the rice is done add in a bunch of finely chopped parsley or cilantro and let them wilt in the residual heat.
    Also if you're making beans from dry, reserve the bean cooking liquid and use it as a broth to cook the accompanying rice with!

    I'm sorry, what? In which cuisine do people cook rice with orange juice? Coconut milk/cream & chicken stock are commonly used to cook rice in Malaysia. If you can get your hands on mushroom (or vegetarian) stock cubes, give that a go. It's a perfect replacement for chicken stock. Comes out tasting almost exactly like chicken rice.

  • @RaumBances
    @RaumBances 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I switched to Basmati rice. It tastes better, is less starchy and is a healthier choice. You don't have to spend so much time trying to make it taste good because it actually has flavor so a bit of seasoning is all you need. You don't even need to rinse it first. "Always have to start with washing" the rice removes the enriched nutrients. It even says on the front of the bag "to retain vitamins, do not rinse." You do it to remove the extra starch and still end up with a clumpy, sticky rice. Just buy better rice. Less carbs, less calories, higher nutritional value and lower glycemic index than the nutrient-free washed and flavorless white rice you're starting with. The end result will be so much better. If you buy in bulk, it can be as cheap as store bag prices.

  • @KelbPanthera
    @KelbPanthera 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    ... people needed to be told this *really* obvious thing? I mean, I'm glad they're hearing it if they needed to but the idea that most people that eat rice wouldn't have thought of this on their own is mind-boggling to me.

  • @AlaricKerensky
    @AlaricKerensky 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I use water, but infuse it with a heavy serving of garlic, salt, pepper, and mixes of seasonings like Adobo (hot), and mixed seasonings with onion, parsley, basil, fennel, paprika, chili, etc. It's very flavorful rice on its own, and amazing mixed into a pan of simmered peppers, tomatoes, beans, and meat (real or pea protein vegetarian).
    I might be trying the vegetable broth though!

    Hot tip: Resistant Starch. You can dramatically change the carbs in rice from being unhealthy (glycemic impact) to healthy (probiotic). Potatoes work, too.

  • @lqfr8813

    wanna know why mostly use just water? because rice cooked in seasoned broth in any type can make the rice go bad faster than simple water. not everyone are cooking and finish all the rice in one sitting meal

  • @Mike-zx6sl

    0:49 yea about washing your rice. I don't bother. I learned form J Kenji Lopez this is often pointless, most rices don't clump assuming they are cooked properly. Haven't washed my rice prior to cooking it for over a year now, never clumps up.

    • @suicune2001

    @christines2787 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Add dehydrated vegetables. I have a massive garden and can't use all my carrots fresh. I freeze a lot but I also dehydrate carrot coins. Add a little more water and the rice takes on the flavor of your veggie.

    Actually there is a japanese cooking channel that was cooking rice and they use either sake, mirin or dashi in their rice when they cook it. I am not yet familiar with the flavours however all things japanese I have tried and come across I do automatically love, I will be trying that out myself as well as your suggestions above as well......

    I spent 3 years in Sasebo, Kyushu, Japan and developed a lifetime rice habit. Never washed my rice because if it had added vitamins that washes them off, and it doesn't stick together as much, which is required if you eat with chopsticks. Going to try out all your ideas

    If you want it with a flowery and magical taste, do it with chamomile tea, you can do it with just the infusion, or you can directly put the grounded or ungrounded flowers with the rice for an interesting texture, and a good quantity of fiber...

  • @LePedantSemantique
    @LePedantSemantique 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Here’s my trick!:
    1. Save scraps in freezer bags (bell pepper seeds, onion ends, roots, carrot stems, meat fats, chicken wing tips & bones).
    2. Boil these and reduce to needed amount. Strain out solids.
    3. Use liquid to flavor rice & pastas.
    They add subtle flavor enhancements!

  • @jazcatarina
    @jazcatarina 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I often use coconut milk or stock/broth. It's a great alternative. Why not add flavor when you can. Water is acceptable, flavor is best. I haven't tried OJ or tea, but have mixed in spices and herbs before. I think people just need to experiment in the kitchen and have fun!

    You can certainly make rice pudding, seasonal veggies, and cold rice salad with fruit, marshmallows, and cool whip or fresh whipped cream. So many options, so little text space. 😁 Also, adding grated orange (or any citrus peel) will enhance the orange flavor.
