"Low fat channel" - I LOVE IT!!!! 🥰❤

[@guykoppi2525]

To put out a video like this, that covers the basics without embellishments and time-fillers - speaks volumes about your skill, self-confidence and respect for your viewers. You are the Real Deal, Chef!!

This is now the ONLY way I fix rice. I even tried with beef stock since the rice would be served with a beef dish. It was DELICIOUS!

"Measure the rice, measure the broth. Don't measure the butter" love it!!

[@PangolinStirfry]

You don't ever need to measure butter. Your heart will tell you when it's enough. If it's too much, your heart will stop working. It will always let you know.

My last couple of experiences with rice have been less than stellar....thank you for the video, I will now rinse the rice prior to cooming, AND stop using the medium settings g. Lower is better I see. Thank you chef for this much needed 'basic' lesson!

Good morning to the best chef and person ever.

Chef Jean-Pierre, you are by far the best instructor on the internet,,,

[@r1273m]

I remember you once said you did use water, for showering and washing the car! Great video, thankyou.

[@DosMasTequila]

I love the idea of chicken stock instead of water. And as usual chef JP makes even simple dishes like rice way better! More butter= more delicious.

Really?

Yes, I always use broth. Not homemade but still broth. Rice needs flavor.

[@ahab6969]

100% agree

[@Bob-M]

Hello Chef, here I am, once again saying THANK YOU! I have NEVER been able to correctly cook rice, until tonight. I followed your instructions to the letter, well almost, as I put the chicken stock in before the rice, but it still came out perfectly. I am so thankful to have stumble across your channel last year, and after many years of being in a cooking funk, I have rebound my love of cooking. You continue to make things enjoyable, and show that making a mistake isn't the end of the world, you have shown that all I need to do is stay calm, and carry on. I have made over 20 of your recipes, and have had success every time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and love of food with us.

[@sweetpea6144]

Tried it tonight and it was delicious- thanks Chef👨🏼‍🍳

[@thegodofpez]

I could watch Jean Pierre paint walls and be entertained. Man I love this guy!

I thought of you chef last night because I made risotto using my own homemade stock. My cooking had improved 10 fold after I discovered your channel. You are wonderful 🏆

[@Rohit_M]

This is not one of those non-fat channels. Love it chef JP. The rice recipe with stock is perfect.

[@toriless]

Chef JP's middle name should be 'butter'.

[@patrickladucer4118]

Butter is good fat. Our brain is fat. Butter is like Bacon in that it makes everything taste better.. Up a notch. Thank you Jeon . My cooking professor.

[@debbycostanich1696]

Watched this and made it tonight. This is the. rice my Gramma always made and I never got her recipe. Thank you so much!

[@handyvickers]

Great one, chef... Something we thought we knew how to cook, but as usual, you've thrown a whole new light on it! We already use stock, and (not enough!) butter. But shallots/onion? Chives..? Roasted sesame seeds? Wow... Gonna try this tonight!

[@williamrhea3535]

This served to remind me I had used the last of my beef stock. Time to make the stock!!

[@Laura-fj2ks]

Beautiful chef 🤩 .., I’m gonna make this 🥳🥳

Afternoon Chef JP, l saw your video on how to cook a perfect basmati rice with butter, shallot and chicken stock. This way it give you the best aroma smell , l do this cooking using ghee with other ground spices to add the flavour and aroma smell with additional saffron flower to the colour texture.

I needed this cooking lesson video. I have the hardest time cooking rice.

[@donnalisinski1036]

I love you. Seriously . You make cooking rice of all things fun.

[@kathleenposton2334]

Yeah, been washing my Basmati rice, then sauteing, then adding chicken broth for decades. Kids and husband love it that way. Only I cook in plain is when I'm going combine the plain rice w/additional meats and veggies, or going to add some kind of canned entree like soup or chili. Also, when I'm using the plain rice as part of a dessert. My kids grew up loving it!

[@CodeDeb]

Oh that would be a huge accomplishment for me. I always use a rice cooker

I have not liked cooking rice until I met this man. Now people ask me to make the rice. It is so much better. Thank you, Chef Jean Pierre.

[@trinitywright7122]

Dear chef Jean-Pierre, as good of a home cook as I am I have never been able to make rice worth a CRAP. I bought rice in a bag -LOL -yesterday and I'm going to try to make this rice. Wish me luck. It could actually turn out and it could have flavor both of which would be very good. I have duck broth that I made in the slow cooker and I'm going to use that NOT WATER! 😁💯

[@leonarddaneman810]

With Jasmine or Basmati, throw a stick of Cinnamon in there my friend. Especially good with savory chicken or curry dishes.

[@ronhansen7717]

I make Rice Pilaf all the time with Jasmine rice. I do everything the same with the same ingredients. What I don't do is your cooking procedure. I saute the onion, then the rice, add chicken stock and cook it on a simmering heat loosely covered for about 20 minutes. With the Jasmine rice, it takes 3 to 1doing it that way. Cooking with low heat and then off the heat covered makes a lot of sense to make fluffy rice. I will be doing that from now on.

[@01evansa]

Use a kitchen towel too. Put it over the pan and then put the lid over it. Obviously fold up the corners of the kitchen towel to avoid burning down the kitchen. The kitchen towel absorbs the steam and stops it from condensing back into water.

[@michaellane5679]

That is rice magic Chef! Love it! Thank you!

[@andystone6777]

dear friend, ever since I started cooking I never knew or found out how much salt to put in the water with doin rice or noodles. Not enuff tastes like s**t in the end, too much you won't get out again ! So I started using chicken / vegetable broth (thinned) or stock and I'm happy with. It works and I don't think I ever gonna change that. Keep on the good work and always measure butter carefully ! :-) Baron, PEP Cars Frankfurt Germany

Glad to see you using California rice! The area where I live in Northern CA is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of aces of rice. Even fine sushi restaurants use California rice. It’s the best!

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

Aren't you supposed to use sticky rice in sushi? How would it stick together?

[@jimscanoe]

@@cynthiagonzalez658 The rice becomes sticky because of the addition of sushi vinegar (rice vinegar, brown sugar, Kosher salt, Kombu) after the rice is cooked.

[@rickashe3626]

Wow! I just did this with Jasmine rice, onion, butter, veggie stock and a small amount of curry paste. It worked fantastic. I never used a stainless pot for rice because it always sticks and burns, but the rice fluffed up, is separated and tender and the smell of fresh cooked jasmine rice is exquisite! Thank you Chef! I had some doubts... but your way works! Thank you again!

I love watching your videos when going to bed.. I sometimes wake up in the early hours with you jabbering in my ear 😂. You definitely spice up my kitchen 💋

[@Xubono]

This is much nicer than the rice I often see from a rice cooker, which is often “gluggy” and clumps together. Yep, I am making chicken stock every week and use it instead of plain water. I also cook vegetables like carrots, beans etc. in boiling water, after straining out the food, I keep the liquid to use by itself as stock, or to dilute my chicken stock. I never waste a drop 🙂.

[@toriless]

I usually use a rice cooker but always with stock and then fluff. I will pre-sear in butter as well now. It works better then adding in after as I have done.

[@frakkinMatt812]

Best part of watching these videos is knowing I am friends with Chef Jean-Pierre.

[@braddixon3338]

Ok, I have to turn over a new leaf here and get my rice game in action. I've been just dumping unwashed rice and water into my rice cooker and pushing the button. I might stick with the rice cooker, but doing a little pre-work and using stock to up my game. Thanks again Chef JEAN-PIERRE for teaching us how to do things right, you're the best!

[@FuzzyPuddingGamer]

Good Evening Chef! Always happy to see your smiling face!

I’ve been cooking my rice this way for nearly 50 years. And it’s really worth making your own stock! Learnt from a friend from Sri Lanka.

Chef you're an AMAZING person for sharing your life's knowledge and skills with whomever watches your channel. I absolutely LOVE to cook. I could never attend a culinary school but have been doing most of the cooking in our home the past 25 years or so and family and friends gobble up the food I cook.

Few cardamom, fenugreek leaves, a dried red Birdseye, couple of whole cloves, half a teaspoon of turmeric, a small garlic clove whole and salt/black pepper is what I normally include in mine as well as the stock. Went great with the curry I made.

I love how you take time to teach basic cooking techniques. A cook needs to know how to make the basics properly. Rice makes such a good side dish or bed for a meat dish. The stock makes it so flavorful. I only use Basmati rice as I love the texture. Thank you Chef!

[@PlainVidz]

Basmati is nice but it isn't "Rice" for me, it's closer to a pasta than an Uncle Ben's Rice, which sometimes I crave.

[@adissiusly]

@@PlainVidz In India, where rice is a staple diet in some states, Basmati is used for making 'biryani' (layers of rice and meat stew steamed together). But our regular diet rice is different, the grains are smaller and it's cheaper
