Like I have said in your other videos, love hibachi cooking!! Awesome job!!!

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

This is great "basic" info that I needed. Reassurance on some of my techniques as well as Cold v Warm rice. I would never have thought about suing 2 different grains of rice. Texture is a flavor 🤣 Good stuff Brudda

[@halsmith4951]

[@michaelroberts3883]

Thank you for this. The prep videos are just as important as the flashy grilling videos. Just found your videos so I hope to be able to expand my cooking ability. Do you plan to make more videos about sushi to include preparing Wasabi and slicing ginger?

Cooking the rice w butter 🧈 nice tip ima have to try chef

[@LaurynGlasgow]

Your so awesome 👏

[@amandamcfarland6198]

The closed captions is saying it's applause (1:25) when he is stirring the rice with his hands. 😂

[@thebackyardhibachi]

😂 those were my ancestors.

@@thebackyardhibachi LOL😂

[@supermanalexk]

Awesome video. What do you mean by pre-oil the rice and how do you do it?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Same like what we did in the hibachi noodles video. A little oil to coat the rice before you cook it on the grill.

[@johnl4263]

Nice hat!

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Thanks! Haven’t missed a putt since!

[@tomschaefer8081]

Paul thanks again for the Video’s. what brand is the rice cooker, the amazon link is blank. Thanks

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Zojirushi

[@bradracine3426]

What oil do you use in the cold rice when breaking it up?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

No oil when breaking it up, add vegetable oil after it broken up.

[@rosewood1911]

In your expert opinion Is overcooked rice still ok for fried rice? Left the rice on for a bit too long and it became extremely stick it... i stuck it in the fridge overnight to try to dry it out.. im just afraid the grains will break and turn to mush if i fry it

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Most likely it will be too mushy and won’t separate into grains.

[@mikedelacruz3135]

Thank you for the tips/techniques Paul 🫡👊🏼😎🤙🏼

[@beenreal7149]

Will medium grain Botan do?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Yes

[@JOHH243]

What was the rice mixed in with the jasmine?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Short grain rice, brand is botan

[@JOHH243]

@@thebackyardhibachi thank you so much. keep up the work with the videos, my parents and i have been loving our new blackstone and have watched several of your videos. next time, our fried rice is going to be amazing

[@alejandrowence440]

Why add butter to the rice cooker? Just for flavor?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Aroma, you can stir it in after the rice is finished and hot.

[@assmosis4573]

Don’t these different grains cook differently?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Yes, that why we use the 3-1 ratio

[@isaachinojosa5826]

Do you prefer cold rice over hot rice when making fried rice?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Hot rice.

[@isaachinojosa5826]

@@thebackyardhibachi ive always wondered what restaurants do. When i made mine when i had it refrigerated before i put it on my blackstone, it has a different texture. Almost harder texture compared to restaurant. So you are saying you put warm/hot rice on flat top when you’re about to make fried rice?

[@deucebox]

What if we don’t have a rice cooker?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

You should get one!

[@davidjackson4308]

I noticed that your cold rice was wrapped in plastic for storage in the fridge. I was under the impression that it had to be cooled while spread out on a pan so the moister could evaporate. This method, however, leads to some hard, dried up grains of rice. Does it work just as well to wrap it up and chill like you did? Would like to get rid of the hard grains from drying in the open.

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Wrap it in a bowl while it’s hot, and poke holes in the wrap so the air can escape. Let the rice cool down for a little bit then wrap it and store in the fridge.

[@bryanjordan7965]

Man thanks for the video! I originally asked for it 8 months ago. And you did it! Never got a notification. I'm here again bc my wife bought me a 36in Blackstone for my birthday a couple of days ago. I have had a small 22in before and there just wasn't enough room lol. So tonight I'll prep my rice and watch your other videos. Hopefully I get it all right. Btw what temp do you keep your grill at? Is it high heat the whole time?

[@randydorris-vo1xz]

Why would my rice still be sticky and mushy after being in the fridge for a couple days? I tried breaking it up like you did in the video and it just stayed in a clump. Please help! Love your videos. Super helpful.

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Could be a few things or a combination of these. 1. Too much water when cooking 2. Not washing the rice well enough 3. Covering the rice too soon after it cooks.

[@randydorris-vo1xz]

@@thebackyardhibachi definitely not the second. I washed the white off those things. I thought that was it to begin with. I will definitely pay attention to the water when cooking and let it sit for a bit before adding the wrap. Thank you for the help.
