Next Level Rice: Secrets to Restaurant-Quality

[@Chrisjohnharrison]

I really respect this channel. They’re chefs, they’re not dicks, they’re making it accessible for anyone. Take nothing away from them tbh, running a restaurant is difficult enough and having the time for all of this means they’ve got the budget to have the right amount of staff which gives them time to show us these videos (I would imagine they use these videos to train their staff and actually save time in their business) clever stuff. Nice work chefs.

[@carlmunhawa3318]

Couldn't agree more. Their passion really shines through. inspirational

[@TheVetusMores]

Hear, hear! And well said. I couldn't agree more.

[@frodothehobo9938]

out of curiosity i looked it up (i live in the US so i would never be able to go), their restaurant is very expensive. i looked up the menu online and 38$ usd entrees are everywhere. this isn't a knock on them but generally the restaurant industry becomes less toxic the higher up on the chain you go

[@thierryfaquet7405]

Hi Guys, as a gastro-pub manager in London who has also worked with chefs of this caliber, I must say this series is fantastic. I have picked up so many tips and tricks in relation to my own cooking! Please keep it going! Can't wait to see what's in store over the next few weeks!

[@FallowLondon]

Our pleasure!

[@dh1380]

Recipes like this (in smaller quantities) are real money savers, especially for single people it's prety much a fridge raid for the stuff you have kicking about that you dont know what to do with or that is about to turn.

[@iamchinny3]

This is legit! I'm Nigerian so grew up on beautiful, flavourful rice dishes. The rinsing of the rice in a bowl minimum 4 times...yes! This is how I was raised to do it

[@pl7868]

if your going to try this with a home teflon coated rice cooker then um don't ,cook it on the stove in a pot , the sugars in the onions and tomato , pepper ect.. will stick and ruin your cooker you will have a heck of a time cleaning it , aside from that i guess it's ok , chicken is a delicate flavour and think it would be over powered by the tomato/peppers/hot sauce here but then i never tried it so i'll side with Fallow that it's good , Great Job keep the video's coming 🙂

[@fabe61]

The knife technique on that garlic made me blush

[@barryoffeastenders]

Made this a few times and love it. Would love to get a detailed recipe for it though

[@asimmunshi4830]

Your channel makes me miss working in a kitchen!

[@Wolf462]

I love this channel. I worked as a chef some 20 odd years ago. This really takes me back and the best part is I’m still learning thanks to fellas like y’all. I make similar rice dishes twice a week for the exact reasons you mention in the video. Thanks for these videos chefs!

[@jasons9m]

The toasty, golden brown rice at the bottom of the pot is a classic ingredient in many rice dishes worldwide. It is known by many names: la pega in Colombia, concern in the Dominican Republic, tip nasi in Indonesia, tahdig in Iran, Okoye in Japan, Burundi in Korea, and socarrat in Spain. In Hong Kong, we call it Fan Ziu.

[@mechwarrior83]

[@fabe61]

So happy to see a professional advise on the 1-1 volume for rice to liquid in a proper recipe like this. When you cook at such large volumes it becomes immediately obvious that the 1:2 ratios you get from some recipes are totally wrong if you scale them up.

[@TheRatchetnclank]

It wasn't 1-1 though as there was tons of other sauce from the tomato/pepper puree. It was more 1-1.5

[@dysay]

??????

[@TheVetusMores]

@@TheRatchetnclankYes, I think it was. But the OP did make an interesting point, which is that the packages of commercial rice usually advise a 2:1 ratio of water (because that's what so many non-Asians use) to rice. With the additional vegetables and chicken pieces, the chunkiness throws that ratio much, much closer to 1:1.

[@andrewlundholm3316]

I tried this recipe, on a smaller scale maybe 1.5 cups of rice, and the rice was very undercooked but the dish was not "wet". Are you saying the ratios change based on the size of the recipe? I've always cooked rice at a 1:1.5 ratio with great success so maybe I should have stuck to that for the small batch?

[@micah1754]

@@TheRatchetnclankyeah indeed. If that wasn’t in there it would be too dry 1-1 only

[@multiversethinking]

Love your episodes. super helpful. after this rice episode, would love to see your take on a proper paella. i live in Barcelona, and they are typically overcooked, overscorched in local tourist restaurants. made one at home, chicken, prawns, and veggies, fluffier. pure Catalonian heresy, I am sure. Would love your take on this.

[@tomc3422]

[@rimmidesign1556]

Professionalism speaks for itself. These guys are killer - Canada.

[@CanuckAlert]

It is interesting that one to one liquid to rice works. I have always done one and a half liquid to one rice, it's what we were taught in Culinary School. It must be the extra liquid from the veg and pastes added. I am going to try this in my Dutch Oven.

[@ryand141]

Make sure you stir it like he does before he puts the lid on. But, yeah, I think you're right. He uses a big tub of puréed pepper.

[@SuperKendoman]

The caramelized bits reminds me of a dish we make called Claypot Rice. If you ever get the chance to visit Hong Kong, definitely give it a try. There's a long wait for this dish though because it's traditionally made by cooking the rice and the ingredients over coal on a medium to low heat. But it's well worth waiting for it. Tastes even better when you pair it with the special blend of sweet soy sauce that the diners will give you when serving it to you.

[@janisaaci4823]

Love your curries-have lived in UK and India for short period, and have to say UK has the best curries. Sad but true. Maybe because migrants come from all areas of India etc. love to re create these curries in Oz.

If you buy a rice cooker or that heavy bottom pot. Cooking rice in the future. Water to the first knuckle or if placing hand flat onto rice water will cover fingers but not hand. Keep learning. Love this channel.

[@hermanblinkhoven1856]

I have learned a lot from this channel and it is clear the two authors know how to cook, but there is no way a stock made from cubes, as suggested at 5:08, will yield jellified stock, nor will it give the depth of flavour you want. Love the channel all the same.

looks awesome. additional knowledge for cooking rice asian way of no rice cooker, push the flame to max all the way to the beginning. wait for boil. wait for it to boil for at least 39 seconds then turn the flame down to the weak flame just enough to continuously cook then you just wait. no mixing needed at all. no need to keep opening it. you can cook a rice for at least 10 mins

I saw your fried chicken video and then your rice video, it is cool how open minded you are about cooking. But I would note: elegance sometimes lies in simplicity. Don't over complicate simple dishes. Good ingredients and good execution is enough. Love your channel!

[@JDLuke]

Chef, thanks for this, it gave me some ideas. I suspect you'll find that a fair number of your viewers do in fact have chicken stock available at home. I haven't used a bouillon cube in years. Admittedly, I wish I could just walk a bunch of my mise-en-place bowls over to the sink and let someone else deal with them.

[@davey6024]

If using a pan on the hob at home. Put a sheet of tin foil over the top of the pan, then put the lid on and crease the foil down around the pan to create an airtight seal to keep all that steam in.

[@atmosdwagon4656]

Heh. Despite the warnings of a certain famous French TV/YT chef, I still dice my onion/garlic like you do.

[@Twyzan]

I love Golden Sella, it's very hard to mess up. I find other Basmati rices get sticky and mushy a lot easier. This is kind of how I make my rice, but I half cook the rice first and I usually boil off the excess liquid in the sauce until it's very thick (since the rice has already mostly been cooked). Also, a lot, lot more meat. I get most of my flavour from the chicken/lamb.

[@Diggerless]

@02:20 Just realised you sliced a clove of garlic like we are supposed to slice an onion - not sure my knife skills are up to that! 😁

[@mussydesign7933]

As someone whose been cooking rice all his life yr heat is too hot and those crispy bits are going to be bitter, add more oil and lower the heat, you also need to fluffy the rice at least twice not touching the bottom so when its ready you will pop it out like a cake, i have enjoyed yr other recipes

Over season the liquid is a good tip

Will, that rice cooker looks so very much like a slow cooker (actually I do have a Rival brand _Crock Pot_ ); are there any important differences, or could I indeed use my slow cooker to do this? I've always used a cast-iron Dutch oven, and it seems to work well enough, but if using my Crock Pot would be easier ...
