[@djangodoescomputer]

Hey Sonny, I love your videos and do not care about your politics, lets keep it that way please. Goya is a brand that was illegally advertised from the oval office itself by a particular, highly divisive president. The owner is super political and spends his money on right wing causes and as such is boycotted by many americans. I would not ever buy Goyas crappy products because of their owner, their quality is irrelevant sadly as I cannot support what their profits go toward. Support who you want, but understand please that Goya is a very politicized brand and may not be worth associating with. I love your channel but was sad to see you wouldnt vet your sponsors more than that. If you support all that outright, thats your right, but this is a food channel we dont need all that.

Go with serrano peppers over jalapeños because the serrano’s tend to be constantly spicy. Unlike the jalapeño pepper.

[@Duke_of_Prunes]

That really wasn't Louisiana red beans and rice, but I don't think he claimed it was. You need onion, bell pepper, celery, parsley, tyme, bay leaf, and several other ingredients like a meat (andouille sausage, ham hock, etc...).

That Dude Can Cook...CAN COOK!

[@douglasmurphy3266]

Here's why the 2:1 water to rice ratio seems off: Weight & Volume are being tossed around in the same circles causing confusion, along with metric & imperial. 1 cup (volume) water = 8 oz. (weight) or 226g metric weight Uncooked rice is less dense and there is space between the grains, so it has less weight in the same amount of volume. 1 cup (volume) uncooked rice = 6.4 oz. (weight) or 182g metric weight Rice absorbs approximately 1.6 times its weight in water for a total of 2.6 times as cooked weight. So 100g rice absorbs 160g of water. If you added 2x water by weight, you would be adding 200g of water. If you added 2x water by volume, you would be adding 250g of water. The volume / weight difference is 1.25x For one cup of rice that difference isnt much, but with larger measurements the difference adds up, because beyond what the rice absorbs, the amount that evaporates doesn't scale. Just about the same amount of extra water on top will boil off no matter how much rice you are making. If you cook 3x the amount of rice, you don't want 3x the water. The amount that evaporates is a function of, mainly, the surface area of your pot/pan (at the water line) plus time & temperature. Too much water will either be left behind, or you will overcook the rice for too long (high heat @ extended time) to get rid of it. This is where the "finger trick" actually has science behind it, because you are probing for a set amount of water resting atop the rice, at a depth determined by the size of the pan. To simplify, the 2:1 is fine for small 1 cup dry volume rice batches, you might pull back a little on 2 cups, and for 3+ go by the finger method so you have the correct amount on top

[@CuriousCrow-mp4cx]

It depends on the rice you are using. Basmati needs soaking for 20-30 minutes after washing, then draining. Then a volume ratio of 1 to 1 water will produce a good result. Long grain white rice may may need more like 1.5-2 water to to rice. Always check your packet. Natural ingredients vary, so that's why pro bakers weigh everything to obtain consistency.

[@kathleennorton2228]

I never use 2/1. It always gets wet. I haven't a clue why it works for others.

[@kj4726]

Don’t wash basmati off the shelf. If you buying burlap sacks full, sure wash it then.

[@jeffpechow665]

Sonny, love your videos and recipes. Made the green and red rice. Both delicious. I have a suggestion related to the amount of oil. Your recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of oil per 2 cups of rice. America’s Test Kitchen’s recipe for Mexican rice (which I’ve made several times) calls for 1/3 cup of oil (or 5.33 tablespoons of oil) per 2 cups of rice. That makes a difference in preventing burning and promoting toasting. I found 3 tablespoons was not enough oil. The other suggestion that works well in the Test Kitchen recipe (and which is more forgiving than the stovetop) is to first cook the rice in oil for 6-8 mins stirring frequently and then cook the rice in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 mins and stir after 15 minutes. Hope these tips help.

Next time pressure cook dry kidney beans in coconut milk. When the beans are soft, add your rice, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, garlic, salt, pimento, green onions to the coconut milk and kidney beans. Turn the heat on low and let it cook to perfection. It does not take long at all.

I used to do a Colombian recipe for rice and beans a girlfriend taught me years ago. These three are getting added. The coconut milk one especially!!

[@haircutdeluxe]

The best beans and rice advice I ever got was to make a raw Tex-Mex version of the smooth type of blended gravy used for British Indian takeout, and then fry the cooked beans in that. Raw bacon, onion, rehydrated and fresh chiles, tomato, garlic, spices, salt, a little oil- everything but bay leaf. You’ve got to fry it hot for 5 minutes, add cooked beans, and then simmer it for 20-30 minutes. I don’t know why exactly but these are crazy good, my family calls them Ultra Beans. The uniform texture of the sauce coats the grains of rice in fat and flavor.

The first time i ever bought fresh chillies as a novice cook, they were green Thai chillies. I was chopping them up to try in some dish, and took a bite of a raw one out of curiosity. There was no burn at all, just intense green flavour .. so i assumed that they were either unripe(?), or needed to be cooked in order for the sting to develop. Just then my dad walked in and i told him "Look at these chillies, they're all duds!", and took a bite of another one to show him. But this one was NOT a dud! I was so shocked, i fell apart laughing and couldn't stop hiccupping. Now, every time i have anything with unexpectedly hot chillies in, i get an attack of hiccups 😉 And while I'm a great fan of chillies, I've suspiciously never found another dud one again!

I use my rice cooker for all rice. Brown it and then stock and tomato sauce and chili into the rice cooker for Mexican rice. Same process for my wild rice pilaf. YES I could do the rice on the stove top but I find it turns out better if done in the rice cooker. I use brown rice in everything because I'm a diabetic. My Korean family is horrified by the brown rice. A basic rice cooker with one button does well. Zojirushi still makes them. The digital ones are too overkill. I started cooking when I was 8 after my mother died. Did as I watched her do and food was edible, which the rest of my family couldn't manage. They screw up instant ramyeon! I've worked in the kitchens of the Hilton chains, catering and most of my cooking has been done at soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Despite what most think, it takes a lot of work and skill to create nutricious and palatable food on the low budget soup kitchen/homeless shelter meals. Those people already are having a hard time of it, so good food is important to them.
