Enjoy your take on food, recipes, and cooking sssooooo much that I gifted myself your Genius Recipes AND Genius Desserts cookbooks. The background music gives off a Zen meditative vibe for me, lends itself to a calm approach to cooking.

[@Cecemonty]

Incredible! You really can't mess this up - the combo is just that good. I used Jasmati rice, which was great.

BOOOOOORIIIING

[@phi2dinh]

This recipe is so delicious and easy to make. Absolutely genius!

[@treytony]

OMGGGG! Thank you, Andrea for your coconut rice pro tip! I'm going to swap out the coconut milk for coconut water now. So excited!

[@mediumbug]

Kristen is such a thoughtful and intelligent host! Yay!

[@beverleyellis6358]

Great tips thanks!

[@ayshaf5505]

This reminded me of someone calling their mom for recipe help. Loved it!

[@msgypsyqueen]

I always add my coconut oil to my rice, WHILE it cooks - it’s delicious! 🥥👍🤓

[@Brainhoneywalker]

I can’t wait to try this recipe!

[@doodahgurlie]

Recipe looks good. I thought the resolution would be to dilute the coconut milk with the coconut water so it's interesting that only coconut water was used with coconut oil added later. I think hooking Andrea's sound up to the video somehow would make it easier to hear her at times.

The background music is way too loud for us to hear what Andrea was saying

[@hokimoki3677]

I like mushy

[@semco72057]

My mother turned me against rice when growing up and I didn't try it again until I was sent to Thailand during the Vietnam War and when one guy there at the same hotel talked me into trying some he had which was cooked with vegetables and meat in it and it tasted so good until I ordered a bowl of it also and have been eating it since then. Our mother use to just serve us plain rice for breakfast and I was not into that. The rice you made look so delicious just plain, but I love the fried rice most of all.

For breakfast? Interesting.

I use 3T coconut cream to 1c rice, 1Tgrated tumeric and 1 1/4c water..does not come out mushy and I serve it drizzled in coconut cream

[@meriamshafer1586]

I was wondering if you could use a rice cooker?

[@TourmalineDragonfly]

Love this and both of you but the music is too loud and monotonous .. thanks for cooking!

[@kaiju_k5042]

@@thewaronPR yes, agree, same here

[@sinbad7083]

I agree, it was a lil too loud for me but hot DAMN this looks good!

[@theteaman100]

Would this work with brown basmati rice?

[@talloolahmoon]

Beautiful Being

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

My parents never cooked rice so I didn’t know about rinsing it. Once I started doing that my rice is always perfect and delicious. Even if I freeze and reheat. I eat way too much rice.

[@Lily-tj1zo]

That's precious!.... :) (and i don't use that word negatively.)

[@sunflower9387]

I agree with most that the music is too loud.

[@mirandamom1346]

High potassium rice- even if it weren’t delicious that would be a good idea!

[@fountain855]

1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water/stock etc...cooks perfectly every time.

[@michellecollins4974]

What a beautiful lady! 💐🤗

[@cdbutera1093]

Andrea, the famous chef is drowned out by some silly producer’s idea of what the video should look/should like. Can the music!

[@User-vz4xm]

No one cooks jasmine rice like pasta... it sounds uneducated to me. You might do that with basmati rice, but not any other kinds of rice. Stop listening the so called "guru" on KZbin to teach you how to cook rice, just get a rice cooker to cook rice and follow the factory instruction. Any 5 years old kid can cook rice in Asia, impossible to mess up.
