Your appreciation and keen observance to the simplest details is facinating and enjoyable to watch. Being Asian myself, it feels good to know we share similars ways and concepts. I cook rice almost the same as you do. And yes, rice is really a very important must have in Asian meals. Japanese rice is one of the best quality rice. Its firmness when cooked the right way, its bite is like spaghetti noodles, aldiente. I often eat at Yoshinoya and always going for the beef or pork sliced thinly and slightly fried. I enjoy combining it with a pickled pink radish kind of type sidings. (Not so sure if its radish).The taste of the main dish combined with the somewhat sour sweet taste of pickled sidedish is a perfect match. In this regard, just wondering if your familiar with the pickled sidings I was refering to. Its always readily avaible in every counter contained in a brown square box shape with a lid that comes with a serving spoon. Would very much appreciate you sharing information of its name and how to prepare it. Thanks and always enjoy watching your take on all the videos you post. Looking forward...

Binge watching your channel since I found it a few days ago and I have been watching japanese cooking videos for years and have seen a lot of people soaking their rice between 30 minutes to an hour after rinsing it and just before they cook it. Upon research I found people do this because the rice is dry and needs that soak time to properly cook. Have you ever tried doing that and what are your thoughts upon that practice?
@taijiskitchen2 жыл бұрын
Hi and thanx for the comment! glad to hear that you like my contents!! not quite sure, what exactly your question is... since I do instruct in the video to soak rice after rinsing for 30-60 min as well. do you mean; why do we do this? then its simple: Japanese sticky rice contains high starch in compare to other type of rice (and therefore sticky) and when it is cooked without soaking, then the outer part of the rice gets cooked first and becomes like a coating (since starch becomes like a gel or glue when heated) and the water does not enter inside the rice, thus making the core of rice uncooked. if the rice has been soaked long enough the water inside cooks the rice also in the inside. hope this makes sense.

When I cook rice, I usually just cook 1 cup of rice per your ratio of water. And yes, I have to occasionally re-watch this video to remind/re-familiarise myself so I get it correct. As I live alone, I cook a small portion of rice as I don't eat it at every meal. My question is what do you do with the leftover rice in the pot you made? Does it reheat well? And how do you reheat it? Microwave? On the stovetop? Any addition water etc? I know to use cold rice for fried rice, but other than that, what do I do with it? I'm not good at making onigiri. :( I hate waste, anything, especially food, so I really don't want to throw it away, put it in the compost bin.

If you let it rest, covered, for ~20 min after cooking, I've found that it all peels perfectly away from the pot and nothing sticks. If it still does, maybe your heat was too high during cooking. Oh, and try using plastic wrap to shape your onigiri, it's the only way I've been able to do it 😅

It will taste “Starchy” if left in rinse water. I keep the sieve in the bowl, add water swish and skrunch and just lift the sieve and empty bowl, around 5 times then fill and let soak 20 min to an hour. Done! Time to cook. But topping rice with wakame, and shiitake before you do just adds more value and flavor… with a dash more water for extra volume. Now another wonderful addition when ringing the rice is to add a 1/4 cup dal/ lentil like toor and chana dal. Adds a wonderful subtle crunch and really boosts the protein and nutritional value.

@taijiskitchen5 ай бұрын
because Japanese rice contain higher starch in compare to Jasmin or basmati rice (or any other grain like wild rice, barley, buckwheat etc.) and starch becomes insoluble when cooked in water, meaning it forms a coating of cooked starch around the rice, which prevent water to soak inside the rice grain and thus leaving inside the rice uncooked oder make it difficult to cook. and so if you don't soak the rice in water prior to cooking, it will leave the inside undercooked. you could cook it longer, then you need to add more water, otherwise it will vaporize and get burnt after ten min.
