Perfect White Rice on the Stovetop every time // Step by Step ❤️

[@markbrookes6557]

Rachel, I'm 66 years old and for the first time in my life over maybe the last 6 or 7 years I have been CRAVING Mexican flavors at the medium heat level. You have provided SO many choices of dishes that you are my go to when I want some spice in my culinary life.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

That is awesome! There was a time when I couldn't handle much heat, but through the years I have developed a love for it and now it goes into everything. The more you play with seasonings, the more you will like it. Thank you for sharing my friend. ❤️

Wow one hour to cook a cup of rice. I rinse my rice. It only takes me 25 minutes to cook my perfect rice

Hi Rachel. I never thought of cooking white rice in a skillet. What a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

Rachel, I live in a high altitude, I used to live at sea level, and cooking and baking are a whole different animal 😂 Years ago my mom found a recipe where you bake the rice! This is the only way I can cook rice at my altitude and it turns out beautifully each time! When I moved to Colorado in 2017, I had to learn how to cook and bake at altitude, baking cakes used to be my thing, but not anymore! I’m still learning how to bake and it’s getting easier now, but I cried a lot when things didn’t come out right! Rice is one of my favorite things and I have mastered it at altitude 😊

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much my friend, I love garlic in the rice too, and you're right about there being so many different ways of preparing rice. I think that is why I love Arroz Blanco Mexicano. Love and hugs.❤

[@zippy2641]

Took me 70 years to figure this out, but your simple technique does work well. I use non-stick, even proportions of rice/water, 20 min on the burner/simmer, and 10-15 min rest time. The biggest problem I used to have was rice burning or sticking badly to the pan. Pulling it off early letting the steam finish the cooking solves that problem.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

I'm so glad it works for you my friend, thank you for sharing. ❤

[@ramonabaiza7629]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I've made so many of your recipes successfully. My mother taught me to bring about 4-5 cups of water to a boil add salt & 1 cup of rice. Lower heat & boil 15 minutes. Taste test some grains for doneness. When done to your liking strain & add a little butter & fluff with a fork. (Or don't add butter if saving rice to make Chinese fried rice) Saw this tecnique on Food Network a few years ago & the chef said it was a French technique.? Anyway it has worked for me for 50+ years.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Awesome!! Makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@LoriStellato]

I can't believe it. I have struggled so much with making rice, but no more! My rice came out PERFECT! Thank you.

Thank you, Rachel for showing me how to cook white rice on the stove top. I'm very old fashioned and only cook on a fire stove top. I know there's easy-to-use rice cookers but I prefer my rice exactly how you cooked it. Thank you for the tip about the starch. Take care. Can't wait to see your other recipe videos.🍚🧈

I stumbled on your channel when looking for a Chorizo recipe (I now have 3 pounds of your Chorizo in my freezer). I was having problems with my rice and followed your instructions and I now have perfect rice (your White - Mexican and anything with rice in it has turned out perfect). I grew up living with my aunt and uncle when I was young (my uncle was from Monterey, Mexico). He loved to cook, but was never one to write down a recipe (he passed away many years ago). I also love to cook and have had to make up so many meals I could remember from him, but they never turned out like his. Your recipes have have brought back the taste - flavors and textures from my youth. Your recipes have never failed to come out perfect every time (I just made your apple fritters they other day **perfect**). I just wanted to say your recipes are easy to follow and taste delicious. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thumbs up and ring that bell for - Rachel cooks with love. I have to say your channel is my favorite out of all the channels I subscribe too.

[@suepenner7401]

Hi Rachel. I just made your white rice in the frying pan. It turned out fantastic. I'm so happy and I thank you so much. I will be serving it with your Chili verde with Potatoes which is cooked yesterday. It's definitely a labor of love because the prep is time consuming. But it turned out incredible ( except a bit salty). I think it was that tablespoon of kosher salt. The meat was so tender and oh it was spicy so I will cut the Serrano peppers down to one next time. Rachel you're a phenomenal cook and I'm so grateful you are willing to teach us all. Thank you so much ♥️

You can do so many things with it...I love white rice. I eat it with butter and Maggi. Now I know how to make it perfect! Thank you, Rachel...you're the best. 😋 Blessings, my beautiful friend❣️

[@barbarasue7191]

What is Maggi please?

[@dmartin1203]

@@barbarasue7191 I was trying to figure out how to show you a picture of the bottle...anyway...it's a sauce that's somewhat like soy sauce in look and texture, but not in taste, as there is no soy in it at all. It can be used in gravy, soup, stew, and I love it in rice. It's not as sharp tasting like soy sauce. You should be able to find it in the supermarket. However, I order mine from Amazon, and I get the original bottle that comes from Germany. Simply type in Maggi. Look for a brown glass bottle with a red cap and a yellow label with a red border and red lettering. It will always be your "secret" ingredient!

[@kitwren1797]

Maggi??????

[@TheMboss54]

Maggi is the best.

[@germainedubois8526]

Maggi is a savoury condiment, made with fermented wheat protein, is meatier, more complex and a little thicker than soy sauce.

[@glendamcdaniel9894]

Being part Asian, I have a pot for cooking rice I inherited from my mom and my siblings and I fought over it. I'm the oldest, so I got it. Our family rinsed the rice not only to get the starch out, but to remove arsenic. One cup of rice, add water, stick your index finger above the rice and add water until it reaches 3/4 of the way to the first line of your finger. Boil on high until half the water is gone. Lower heat to low when it stops boiling, cover tightly and cook for 20 minutes. I tell people not to buy a rice cooker because it is a waste of money and it's just another appliance in the way. No matter how you cook it, all that matters is that it turns out great like yours 😊😊. My mom use to sometimes overcook it because she liked a crispy bottom and my grandfather would take rice when it cooled down and make rice balls and sprinkle salt on them for us kids when we were little 😊😊😊😊

[@rachelcookswithlove]

How wonderful for you to share this, it all makes sense. I also like a crispy bottom sometimes and I'm gonna try the rice balls with salt, yum! Thank you for sharing my friend.❤

Hola señora Rachel, I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found you, I’ve been binge watching your videos all night, there’s little details in your cooking that i can relate to as I myself do them too and that’s how I knew you were legit (besides the large amount of positive comments to your recipes) although I’m no pro or anywhere as good of a cook as you but with time and your recipes I know I’ll improve. Recién me junté and I started off with affordable cookware sets that aren’t the best of quality, as I watch your videos not only am I impressed with your recipes and teaching techniques, I’m also impressed with with your cookware, if possible can you make a video of your cookware and the brands? Or with a simple reply to my comment I’d be more than happy. I think it’s about that time I start investing in some quality cookware and I’m super impressed with the ones you use. With that being said, thank you for sharing all these amazing recipes and being the wonderful, beautiful woman that you are ❤
