[@vincentflournoy8024]

I absolutely love this! I tried it and almost got it! I have a question. I can only find canned pigeon peas. Any suggestions on using canned vs frozen?

[@dorannette26]

If your using the frozen, boil it for about 30 minutes on medium heat. Use the same liquid to cook your rice. If using can, no need to boil , use water following my steps, your rice will come out delicious.

Can someone please help me lol How do you know how much water and rice to add by eyeballing it? My mom and grandma can never help me with this :(

[@dorannette26]

Jada Smith .... Eyeballing comes with experience but you can use the 2 to 1 ratio, meaning 2 cups of water to every one cup of rice.

[@lovelyyyy4336]

Annette Dor Merci 💜

[@dorannette26]

Jada Smith ...Pa gen pwoblèm

[@JozeyRa]

How do you know it’s enough rice by eye balling it?

[@dorannette26]

Eyeballing comes with many years of cooking! In culinary school we were told 1 cup rice to every 2 cups of water, I have never tried it. I used my method and my rice comes out perfect all the time.

[@LADYVIKING05]

IT WOULD BE SO MUCH HELPFUL IF YOU LISTED EVERYTHING IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX 😩 I WILL STILL GIVE YOUR VIDEO A THUMBS UP THOUGH 👍🏾

[@dorannette26]

The reason I show and mention each ingredients s because I do not write them in description below. I also mentioned on the video that I do not use measurements. My suggestion will be to use rice to water ratio on Rice package. Thanks for the thumbs up!

[@LADYVIKING05]

Annette Dor IK THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT DO NOT DO MEASUREMENTS. I SAID ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS. YES, IK THAT YOU SAY THE INGREDIENTS IN THE VIDEO, HOWEVER, IT’S KINDA HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE LIST OF THINGS USED IF YOU (THE VIEWER) HAVE TO KEEP PAUSING THE VIDEO TO WRITE THE INGREDIENTS DOWN. I WAS JUST GIVING A THOUGHT, NOT BEING JUDGMENTAL. ALSO, YOU ARE WELCOME!

[@imarifolami]

I wanted to suggest the same thing. But I didn’t want it to come off as me being mean or something. lol I agree with the original commenter. Also, it helps so that the viewer can check their cabinets and/or grocery shop for the ingredients before watching the video. 😄

[@LADYVIKING05]

WHERE DID YOU BUY THE JASMINE RICE FROM? I BUY MADAME GOUGOUSSE. OMGEEEEEE I NEVER THOUGHT TO LOOK WHERE IT WAS IMPORTED FROM? I HOPE THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN EATING PLASTIC RICE. I DON’T TRUST THE USA EITHER. I NOTICE THAT MY LIMES ARE SEEDLESS. FRUITS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SEEDS. THESE FRUITS ARE GMO 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@dorannette26]

certified Organic products is the way to go!!

Why don't you trust the USA rice? Majority of rice is imported to the US from other countries.
