Hey, Marion. I'm watching from New Delhi, India. Your recipes have made it to regular rotation at my home in Kerala. Even my mom who is quite reluctant to try new cuisines is now addicted to laksa lemak and nasi goreng, all thanks to you. As always, love your content

[@shazikaif7469]

Hey where do u get the shrimp paste for nasi goreng from in india??

Galangal, lemon grass and fresh red chillies?? Do you know where we can get them online?

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

I love your recipes as I’m aiming to add Asian cooking to my repertoire. I am half Cajun. I have family that still are rice growers in southern Louisiana. The ratio I was taught was a 50/50 ratio with a few extra splashes (the most generic of measurement) of water. Once boiling, reduce to lowest temp whilst covered, and simmer for 20-22 minutes. I’m so grateful to learn a new method. Thanks. PS: My rice was always perfect for Cajun cuisine.

[@courtlandcarson6610]

@Kristina and the German - Cajun/Asian fusion is the hero the world both needs and wants! ❤️💛

[@xitsmedianax]

Hi Marion! Watching you from South Carolina in the states. The "mom's finger" measurement for cooking rice is what I use to this day for both sticky and steamed rice. I use it because we need to soak the sticky rice before we cook it (my folks are from Laos). I ❤ all of your recipes!!! I enjoy watching your shows while I'm eating it just makes my food taste 10x better! 🤤

Congratulations on your book! We are in a small country town North of Perth.. I would love your take on a weeks meal prep, that could include a couple of cheat days. (Of course) and being in a small town we only have very limited supplies so once a fortnight we often drive either 2.5hrs or 3hrs to a Wollies etc so a list of shopping items would be fantastic!

Do you have any suggestions for cooking brown rice?

[@kendonevanson5089]

Love it! I'm watching from Alberta Canada. I totally got the portions of rice to water part. Does that change if you change rice types? Long grain to short grain?

[@isaemann8638]

@ Kendon Evanson .... don't worry about ratios and portions of water to cook rice whether long or short grain. No math required! Just your finger! After washing/rinsing your rice for the third time in the pot, add water to it just up to the first section of your pointer finger from the top of the rice. Using an automatic rice cooker will save you the trouble keeping watch over to prevent the rice and pot get burnt.

[@wahyuferiyansyah7290]

I'm from Java island Indonesia and my family have a Fried rice restaurant. The Indonesian fried rice actually can divided into two version here, the first one is city style (Lot of ingredients and the color also black because the sweet dark soy) And the second one is village style (the ingredients is just garlic, shallot, little bit shrimp paste, Mild chili, spicy chili, and simple seasoning [salt,msg,stock powder, sugar, white pepper, no need any asian sauce and the color is light pinky]) I recommend you to cook the authentic Indonesian village fried rice because that was so good, it looks like kind of Chinese garlic fried rice but with extra chili and shrimp paste also another version of this is add some dried shrimp to improve the flavour (but I personally don't like dried shrimp) Note : on both version my mom always add some protein (chicken, shrimp, eggs, whatever) and mixed vegetables. I like to eat warm fried rice with crispy fried egg + kerupuk (crackers). Yumm

Seattle, Washington! Love your channel. I need a master class in rice noodles. Mine get gluggy no matter what I try. I’ve tried adding fully cooked and rinsed noodles right at the end of cooking. I’ve tried half cooked noodles rinsed and put on high heat. I can never seem to get that classic chewy not sticking together texture you get in restaurants. Would love the help!

[@shana3355]

I'd like to learn how to get them to not stick to the bottom of the wok, no matter how much oil or sauce I put in, there's always a layer of noodles stuck to the bottom

[@KS-pd3xu]

DONT USE FRESH RICE/NOODLES!!! It needs to be cold (rice or noodles) and very dry. Asians don’t generally cook the rice to fry straightaway, it’s usually a means to use up left over rice (typically the next day). If you prepare the rice and cook the next day you can’t go wrong!

I'm getting really hungry here in Sweden. Looks amazing. I have a question - can you use anything else than those prawns? It is hard to find any that are responsibly farmed here. I have promised myself to not use any other. For every pound of shrimp produced in an ex-mangrove area, around a ton of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. And the farms often use children and trafficking is a huge problem.

You can put anything in fried rice. Eggs, bacon, anchovies, cubed ham. Fry with all the veggies and then add rice. That's the beauty of fried rice.
