Which Rice for Which Dish- Kitchen Conundrums with Thomas Joseph

[@CiberwolF3000]

I'm from Brasil, and we use a LOT of rice, like in a everyday basis. The principal type is like your 1st shown, the "Carolina" (?) rice (here is called "Type 1"). Not only rinsing, but before cooking, we do a pré-frying with oil (canola/corn - not soy), salt and mashed garlic until the rice grain has it's center whitened. THEN we pour the boiling water (2 water cups/ rice cup) and then 20 minutes or so of cooking, it's ready. Try it out some time! 😃

[@jackiewinters5792]

Jasmine is my favorite, hands down. In fact, it's all I use. Thank you so much for sharing educational videos like this! 🤗

[@izychick7275]

when i cook rice i put my hand (clean) over the rice and add water until it covers my fingers, it always works for me. If you leave the pot close when the rice its done the rice will ¨steam¨ and get very fluffy :D

[@Littleboi331]

saute equal parts of grated ginger and garlic in oil, then mix the ginger mix into the rice and water before cooking, that will make the rice really fragrant and goes with chicken really well

[@katharina...]

Aw yum, will definitely try that, thank you! 👍

[@ArchieLovesMe]

Over the past 25 years, I’ve made different rice varieties using several cooking methods, but my favorite will always be how my mother made it when I grew up. She only used Uncle Ben’s converted rice, boiled on the stove, with Wyler’s chicken or beef bouillon cubes (I prefer beef), butter (actually, she used margarine), garlic powder, and ground black pepper. It’s delicious.

[@semco72057]

I was turned off to rice while growing up and did not eat any more until I went to Thailand during the Vietnam War. After being coerced into trying some fried rice in Bangkok, I became hooked on it and have been eating it since then. Rice is eaten more than any other vegetable around the world with potatoes being in second place.

[@mehujmehuj2229]

Sidney Mathious coz rice is a grain like wheat not a vegetable like potato.

Could you please do a video about using Candy/Fry Thermometers? I don’t know where to put the prob. Of the bottom, halfway up the side or in the center. Also another burning question. When you proof bread, what is considered “room temperature”? My kitchen in the winter is usually around 68. My bread takes twice as long to proof and the recipe says! Thank You for putting out great work😀

[@jsobrino]

For candy thermometers, I've always tried getting the probe into the middle of the liquid, avoiding touching the bottom of the pan so that it doesn't get a false reading. And I believe room temp is considered about mid 70s F

[@natashajean395]

Awesome vid! Learned a lot that I didn’t know before about rice. Ty! Blessings

[@palladio7476]

I think you should have addressed the arsenic issue for anyone who eats rice frequently. Rice has to be thoroughly washed due to arsenic in the soil in which it is grown. Brown, red and black rice have more exposure to arsenic because the hull is still on the rice. In the US, white Basmati has the least exposure to arsenic.

[@ginduf]

nutritionfacts.org/?s=arsenic+in+rice rice grown in different places have different levels. find out the places where rice is safer and then look where the rice is from to determine which rice to purchase.

[@Nocturne22]

Why do you people try to correct others when they themselves don't know what they're talking about.

[@palladio7476]

Nocturne22 I dont know who "you people" refers to and if you dont care about what you are eating who cares! This is from Consumer Reports kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ26dYmiqrN4q9k

[@michaelplesch]

Thank you for this video on the various rices grown around the world, it was extremely helpful to me.

[@hungabunabunga3645]

If you toasted the rice with neutral oil befor adding the water the rice will become less sticky and more fluffy.

[@annemorrison3564]

What happens to cause the rice to be more fluffy when you start by toasting it? Rinsing adds water and toasting takes it away. Very confusing.

[@acido44]

@@annemorrison3564 Rinsing isn't meant to add water, it's just to wash away the starch that makes it clumpy and sticky. Toasting is for added flavor, but there's not much difference in texture if you don't toast it.

[@Proxcelyn]

I would love to see a Kitchen Conundrums video about how to make apple pie filling (and other varieties) without it being runny.

[@izychick7275]

add starch and let it cool a bit

[@cathyjackson8337]

Very informative. I lived in India so cook lots of dahl and rice using Jasmine rice in rice cooker. No salt. Also, when rinsing the rice- we really scrub it together to get all that rice dust off.

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

I grew up eating basmati rice (long grain) and I love it but sushi rice (short grain) is my favorite.

[@dfess6463]

I will push back on the rice cooker comment. Almost everyone in Louisiana (if not the majority of the south) has a rice cooker in their home. But we tend to eat A LOT of rice dishes XD. That's our main meal it seems. Gumbo, Rice and Gravy, Jambalaya, Stew, etc.

[@C2EG1FM4]

Hi Thomas, first thanks for the video but ineed to know the ratio of whater and rice of the mid and short rice. Thanks again for the video.

#kitchenconundrum what is wild rice???

[@rhijulbec1]

I hope you don't mind me answering. The plant is actually not rice, but rather an aquatic grass that produces grain, like wheat or barley. Wild rice grows best in shallow, clay-bottomed lakes, approximately three feet in depth. The seeds ripen in late summer, between mid-August and early September. It's harvested the same now as for hundreds of years. The harvesters are mostly indigenous people as most is grown on their land. They bend the stalks into a canoe and beat them with wooden rods to release the mature grains. It doesn't harm the plant, so it's a very sustainable grain. You cook it basically the same as regular rice, or you can mix it with other grains or rices. It is very, very flavourful, tastes nutty and takes 45 minutes to an hour to cook. It's expensive for sure but it's sooo good. Again I hope it was ok to answer Jenn 💖 in Canada 🍁

[@satansamael666]

Being latina, I grow up eating rice with every single meal, i own a rice cooker and I use basmati rice with a little bit of vegetable oil, salt, granulated garlic and granulated onion. My husband is from USA and he ask everyday for rice in each meal.

[@MONEYSNEAKERS]

[@ThangjamBicky]

The black rice is native to manipur and we prepare a sweet porridge called chakhao....all you need is spices milk little bit of oil and speciality cooking

[@leecast1721]

Back in 90's I remember I would eat rice with rice when there's no viand to partner with rice. My mom would shape the rice into quail eggs and I would pretend they're eggs and eat them with rice. Lit rice on rice.

[@izychick7275]

when i was 5 years old i eated rice and soy sauce everyday. i still do it, its the best thing.

How thoroughly do you need to drain rinsed rice?

[@helpfulnatural]

Thomas Joseph said: "Most of us in the west don't use rice cookers"?? Since when? I own 2 and every store I go into including big box stores, discount stores, and kitchenwares stores sell rice cookers. They're everywhere! And there is also the Instant Pot that cooks just about everything including rice. I use my cookers regularly and my small 3 cup Panasonic makes great oatmeal as well.

[@swetasmani]

helpfulnatural I think that’s Coz most people use the absorption method rather than using machines. It takes 12-15 mins to cook. Hope that helps

[@helpfulnatural]

Are you referring to Minute Rice? I use that to clean my coffee grinder. :D

[@jcll1915]

Just because it's widely sold doesn't mean everyone buys it

[@SidmundByrde]

Most in the west... Please... I have a Tiger MICOM rice cooker. Yes it's expensive, but when I want everyday rice it's just as functional as when I make sushi rice for sushi or gimbap... Not to mention makes hella good rice porridge. And it will keep it warm for hours on end without on end as well when you have guests over who may want a second helping... Not everyone here in the west is stuck to just eating meat and potatoes...

[@tiredapplestar]

I have two rice cookers too! I have a cheap one that I use instead of a slow cooker, and a zojirushi that I use daily. We’re big rice eaters, so a rice cooker is a must have appliance for me. I think it just depends on where you live though. I’d be willing to bet most households in N/S Carolina, Louisiana, and Hawaii have rice cookers.

[@50hellkat2]

I have a panasonic rice cooker. The rice at the bottom always gets overcooked. It is great for oatmeal and steamed vegetables but sucks as a rice cooker.

[@aibadotcom]

It gets overcooked because you're not using enough water or you use the quick cooking function which I find tend to scorch the rice at the bottom. If you bought a rice cooker, it should come with a plastic cup. The cup is for you to add just the right amount of water. Pour rice into the rice pot until the line 1 at the side of pot, wash well, then add 1 cup (using the provided cup) of water and cook in rice cooker.

[@emilyvasilciuc8368]

Whenever I make long grain rice the bottom of the pot still has a little bit extra water and the rice is too sticky. But I still follow the instructions on the bag very precisely. I tried one time to let the rice soak in cold water and then drain it, but it still never has worked. Any advise?

[@aibadotcom]

You're using too much water. When you want drier rice (when eating with dishes that has lots of gravy), use lesser water.

Wild “rice” is NOT rice,it looks like rice but it’s actually the seed of an aquatic grass that’s unrelated to rice

#kitchenconundrums after adding the rice to the water, put a tbsp of oil and cook it on high flame till the water can be barely seen and then reduce the flame to a low simmer and cook it covered till the water is absorbed completely. It is the best way to cook it so that it is fluffed up beautifully and doesn't stick to each other.
