Steaming Rice in a Bamboo Basket: Mov Vum Cub

[@TJCha-fe2lr]

We use to cook like this every single day! Then my parents got enough money and bought a rice cooker and life became busier, so we started using the rice cooker more. I haven't tasted home made steam rice in so long! I miss it! I'll make it this weekend! haha. Funny story, a few years ago a lot of my friends that came from Japan and China went over to my house and I showed them this contraption and was like "lets cook rice!" And they were all like "what the hell is that?!" I was like "don't yall Asians know how to cook rice?!" and they were all like "we have rice cookers, you guys are super traditional and old!" hahaha good times!

I'm still doing this too in India. My mom brought the bamboo basket from Thailand for me. Thanks for sharing.

[@Twobirdsbreakingfree]

Why not just keep it steaming in the bamboo basket for 45 minutes? You pour in the boiling water to reduce cooking time and save on gas, right?

I keep coming back to this video when I make rice! So yummy! Best thing I've bought

[@cleancutguy1892]

I always forget to soak the rice overnight, so what I do is wash the rice, then pour boiling water, let it soak for 30 minutes, rinse all the starch that comes out, and it's ready to steam it

[@multi-stanforever2761]

I have seen this in thai cooking vlogs but the net is not necessary you just water the rice as long as it gets more wet do not need the steamer just steam it in an open fire with charcoal it probably will take less than 5 minutes but this informative though thank you

[@addie4463]

Oh my gosh! Yaaas! I was looking for this recipe everywhere! Thank you!!!!

[@MLLL1234]

Still cooking rice this way especially for Hmong parties!!! ❤❤❤

[@zippity888]

Always thought this technique was for sticky rice so I’m keen to cook jasmine rice this way now !! Thank you

[@CHerCreations]

Graham Wilson both sticky and regular rice works with this technique. ☺️

Do u know make Hmong lao salad ? My aunt always made them for big gathering but I never thought to ask 😞

[@CHerCreations]

gnayK Hi, I’m not sure what you mean by Hmong Lao salad. That’s a pretty broad request since there’s all kinds of salads out there. What specifically did the salad contain? Are you talking about papaya salad?

[@lumay333]

Thank you so much for showing this method! I cooked glutinous rice for the last 2 weeks with various results. I have the regular bamboo steamer and the pot but the method I use ommits the part where you take the rice out and pour hot water over. My rice goes chewy and hard within minutes. One youtuber suggested pouring boiling water into soaked drained rice (doesn't work well for me). I also cooked it in teflon pot with water. With your method there is much more volume of rice in the end as well, and it looks and tastes so much better. Also when I put it into bamboo container after about half hour it achieved a PERFECT consistency and softness so far. Thank you!

[@rainbowskies5796]

Is there any way to flavor the steamed rice like with garlic or onion powder or oil ?

[@MegaBev]

I love your back yard. What state do you live in? My parents wants a house out in the country so we can raise chickens.

[@lindabeans7273]

Could you show us how you make sticky rice/purple sticky rice? 😊

Thank you so much! You’re my go to for Asian cooking or baking! 😁

[@semicharmedlife]

Love these basic rice videos! Can you share how to make sticky rice?

[@dargacayan9399]

Are you using sticky rice or sweet rice or are you using regular jasmine rice? ty

[@CHerCreations]

Regular jasmine rice

[@imperialdarkova4081]

Thank You so much 💯 I use a bamboo steamer and I overcooked the Jasmine rice the first time because of some vague instructions. But following your steps and it came out perfect. Fried rice here I come! 🤗

Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.

[@westondeacon5092]

@Armando Trenton thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@westondeacon5092]

@Armando Trenton It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

[@armandotrenton194]

@Weston Deacon You are welcome :)

[@kalialor2494]

Thank you, your videos are helpful!

[@bv2067]

I really like this series of ways to cook rice. Would you be able to do one for fresh grain rice? I don’t know if it’s the same way you cook jasmine rice.

[@CHerCreations]

B V do you mean mov nplej tshab?

[@Tina-lt8nt]

Do you really need to soak it overnight? How about 30 mins?

[@CHerCreations]

Prefer to soak overnight to release the starch so you can get fluffier rice. 30 minutes won’t really do much

[@Tina-lt8nt]

@@CHerCreations just tried a 30 min rice soak and it came out perfect! Nice and fluffy 🤷‍♀️

[@datinsherryazhar]

Wash first then soak it!

[@gordonspicer]

I have just found ordered the basket & pot from an Asian supplier in france at reasonable cost (on line they are usually expensive and I regret not buying same when I was in Phuket but I was ignorant then) I like trying various ways to cook rice and your video guide will be very helpful. Actually in Algeria they also sometimes use a similar style hand made rush basket to make cous cous (semolina) over boiling pot. I works for rice too.

[@egg_bun_]

I'm so glad I found this video for the bamboo basket, bc I don't understand why my rice continues to be crispy and dry. 😅

[@Cocoagoddess_]

I loooooooove this way of cooking rice. I hate for any of my food to be cooked in direct water, steamed is so much better

[@ginafernandez4425]

Cool can’t wait to try mine thank you for the video!

[@howardsmith8430]

How many ounces or grams is 4 of your cups?

[@roflchopstixz7600]

Is there a place or website I could buy this. My mom and relatives all have one and I want to know where it's sold

[@CHerCreations]

Just type in sticky rice steamer online

[@dawjy9413]

Best way to make rice!

[@honda15]

Love it

[@thedude4795]

im steaming my rice in a steamer pot but it never fking cooks! what am i doing wrong! i actually soaked the basmati for 24 hours, dont get it...

[@CHerCreations]

Basmati needs lots of water. Did you pour water to it after the first steaming?

[@seeba290]

@@CHerCreations can you show basmati rice cooking by this method of steaming in basket?

[@RedEye3]

@@seeba290 Basmati is better off cooking in a Rice cooker. Tiger, Zojurishi brands are best.

[@jayslobodinsky6444]

Is this rice you cooked considered sticky rice?

[@CHerCreations]

No, it's regular Jasmine rice.

[@mayseeyang5953]

I'm 35 years old and I can't cook rice right... So wrong!!

[@RedEye3]

Then use a rice cooker, lol. Tiger or Zojurushi japanese brands are the best. Good luck! lol
