On the last pass it on: “Every time we do rice we get roasted in the comments” Next video: “how to do rice like a chef” risky aren’t we

[@thebigh4752]

Hey now... the chefs were bogged down by the normals. On a side note; As much as I like seeing Jamie mess up (along with the others) I did enjoy his 'Mise en place' in a previous video. I say they should give Jamie a bigger spotlight under less pressure. He can't be pigeon-holed into just being a clown at times.

[@gamrage]

Also. I'm among those people who want to roast them right now. Why wash your rice AFTER you cook it? You heat up the rice first just to make it cold? Don't you need to heat it again? That's a complete waste of time. Look at any Indian Basmati Rice video and they'll ALWAYS steam cook their rice ONCE.. Same with any ASIAN Jasmine Rice video.

A lot of comments talk about "just used rice cooker" "why sieve?" but every culture that eats rice have their different way of cooking rice. Not every country uses rice cooker. I am asian myself and even in Asia different regions cooked rice differently. For example the basmati, the Indian style rice are cooked in either way, straining the water after being cooked or absorbing the water. It depends. This video is made for viewers to show the accessible way especially attending to those whose diet does not regularly consist of rice.

[@sean437]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suppose you haven't heard of Uncle Roger. He's a character made by Nigel Ng. Part of his schtick is chiding people for not using a rice cooker and straining rice. Most of those comments are likely from niece and nephew in reference to Uncle Roger.

[@SortedFood]

That is always a plausible way - we cooked rice like that for best part of a decade. Still cooks and is super easy if you don't want to weigh/measure anything. But this absorption method gives you a sticky rice and allows you to flavour the basmati.

[@CeeJayLerod]

But the real question is: Would Uncle Roger approve this?

[@ABJK-ds4wq]

Washing rice in a bowl? Haiiiiyyyaaaa

[@ringding1000]

Even easier: Rinse and toast rice as you choose - or not. Water ratio to rice: from 1 1/2C to 2C water (as you prefer) to 1C rice. Bring water to boil seasoned as you please, add rice. Bring water back to boil for a minute or two. Stir once or twice, then lid. Turn off heat and walk away. No really, just walk away. About 20 minutes later, fluff and serve. This will prevent scorching of your rice and possibly ruining a perfectly good pan. This will give you the most consistant rice you can get. Never over cooked or under cooked. (Taught to me by a friend's Chinese Grandmother)

[@limaman7262]

This is my method! In principle, anyway. Water is the same amount of rice in cups + 1/2 cup. But the additional water can change depending on what kind of rice you use. So it's really estimation. I never really use the finger height method. I like the accuracy of the cups/weight version since you can get reproducible results once you get the ratios right.

I thought for sure one of your options would be brown rice. lol Basmati is lovely rice, the pudding rice you are doing second, I have a packet I need to use for a glorious paella before it goes off. It says paella rice on it but I am gonna call all those short grained rice pudding rice. lol It's used for a traditional rice pudding "Risalamande" here in Denmark. It's funny. They used to "bulk" the dish with almonds and cream cos the rice was the most expensive part. The imported ingredient. Rice is lovely, it freezes better than pasta and potato. And luckily today, it is cheap. Especially brown rice. My government is actively reducing VAT on healthier options. So brown rice is cheaper than parboiled rice, white rice and even basmati. I've lately been working on my rice frying game and yes, I had rice vinegar to my rice. Asia in general has such amazing flavours. And I just recently understood why Japan sided with Hitler in WW2. It had little to do with Hitler and his ideals and everything to do with the fact that China had sided with the alliance. The climate today, producers of vegetables that would normally be bought by restaurants, these ingredients are now ending up in the shops for the normal person to buy. Today i saw green marmande tomatoes in Lidl. And they've had these pale yellow/green peppers for some time now. So much flavour in them. I have been looking for seed from something similar for years. Like Hungarian (where I spent many childhood summers) and I believe these are produced in Hungary. Yes I have collected seed, let's see if they are hybrid or true. lol

I know you are asking Sorted, not me, but the way to look at it is this. If you eat a lot of rice it could be a good idea to use one of the methods that reduce the levels of arsenic but it also does not build up in the body so it isn't necessary.
