Try it with a splash of sesame oil, some sesame seeds, and a touch of white pepper. The flavors are accentuated just a wee bit more to make it irresistible. ☺️

[@worldshaking0502]

Angela Jaitly I agree with a little bit of sesame oil. Not a lot or it will overpower the dish. Freshly cracked pepper will do wonders.

I learned about Kewpie (technically QP) Mayonnaise when I was living in Japan and that's my primary mayo here in the states. If you want to take your mashed potatoes from really nice to sublime, add a tablespoon full of Kewpie to it along with your usual preferred ingredients and blend well. You'll thank me later...

[@SuzanneBaruch]

@@fufu1405 because it makes no sense to mix mayonnaise with rice and then stir fry it ... but it really works.

[@CultureofBlame]

Just a note, adding water to your rice depends on the rice variety. Some do needs an extra, others don't.

[@MeyraiOfficial]

You're right. But by the look of the shape of her rice, l can guess it the expensive one.

[@christian_person5058]

CultureofBlame correct, like long grain rice. You measure 3 cups of water with 2 cups of rice, 4 -6 servings. She is making short grain rice, so the measurement is different. There are different brown rices which may need more water per cup of rice. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@nursyazwaneehadi9200]

If longer grains such as basmathi u need more water, brown rice need more water than white rice too.

[@lilegg301]

Remy Offixial - the shape is more like japanese rice.

Question: Hi, Marion. My background is Jamaican. I've been eating rice all my life (quite happily). I tried your method of cooking rice tonight when I made Jamaican style rice and peas, and it was perfect. Like PER-FECT! Thank you! Do you know if the rice/water ratio changes when cooking brown rice or multigrain rice? Your channel is so great. Thank you for your recipes. 😁

[@victoriahollis3454]

Hi I just noticed your question. Brown rice requires extra water also the freshness (older it is it takes more water). What do you mean by multi grain rice?

[@sheryamiraslani6596]

I just found ur channel & I love it. I am from Iran & love asiatique food. Rice for us is the main dish & what we do for that extra humidity is to put a cloak under the lid. It preserves all steam. My grandma would never lift the lid until the rice was cooked. If u did that, she would considered ruined. Thank u for ur recipes.

[@sarelle808]

Growing up here in Hawaii we eat Japanese sticky rice. You were taught at a young age to make rice before dinner was ready. The way our moms taught us was wash/rinse and put enough water where it measures up to the first line on your index finger. PERFECT every time!! We do use a rice cooker tho not pot on stove:)

I tried this today and my mom loved it! Everyone grabbed seconds. I do not have Kewpie Mayo so I eyeballed the amount used in this video (1 1/2 cups rice {then cook] i used about a little over a tablespoon mayo) and added (1/2 teaspoon) rice vinegar and (1/8th teaspoon) sugar together as a substitute! It's really sublime with the Butter. Ties the dish together nicely. Thanks for sharing~

That tip on retaining that same amount of water for evaporation for any amount of rice is genius. The first knuckle trick would also be the same concept, but you would need to use the same pot every time when you nailed the cooked rice texture (and remembered the 'right' knuckle measurement).

Not being an egg eater, I use "Vegenaise" instead, and have done so for many years I never thought of it as a secret ingredient, but now I'm awarding myself a PhD. in Culinarianism.

Yes, soy sauce and rice are hand-in-glove mates. G'day, and good tuckin'
