Ziangs: How to cook boiled rice (steamed)

The best rice to use is triple A grade long grain, mixed with triple A grade Thai fragrant, in a 2:1 ratio. Forgot to mention that in the video. My bad.

[@jonathanfinan722]

Ken Hom did this on tv millions of years ago and I’ve never looked back since. Always use basmati, never wash it. A bit of hot oil in a decent pan, stir in the rice until it goes opaque but not browned, it makes a different sound as you stir it too, then pour over one and a half times the volume of rice of hot stock of salted water. It might go a bit mad, but just stick a lid on it, turn the heat right down and come back 7 minutes later. Perfect every time.

An asian friend of mine told me 1 part rice, 1 part water, bring to the boil, boil for 10 mins, shut the gas off, do not under any circumstance lift the lid, and leave it to stand for 10 mins. After which, perfect rice. I've used this for years now and it hasn't failed me yet. Going to try the cardomom and cinnamon additions as well. Maybe even some star anise.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

sounds lovely, but we always say, buy a rice cooker lol

[@CountDrunkula]

Omg at 2:41 I think I laughed so much I've damaged the plastering. And then she asks if it's ok to say bottom later. 15 seconds of this is better than a whole series of Gogglebox. I've been doing rice in a new fangled type pressure cooker and it works exactly the same, it's amazing. Get up to temp, leave it on for 6 minutes then turn it off until it depressurises and it's the best. Rice cookers are pretty much the same and they're ace. If I'm really desperate for fried rice I spread it out on a couple of baking sheets, fan it for a bit then put them in the freezer and it works pretty well. Might have to a cheeky bit of fried rice with the wings tonight, for it is wing night! Stay groovy.

i watched a video where you said wash rice 3 times out of tradition and leave the lid of rice cooker closed for ten mins after cooking before opening lid, I found if i stick my finger in through the rice messure where the rice comes to on your finger and double it with water ( so if rice if not at knuckle and half way from tip to knuckle add water to knuckle) rice cooked nice breaks up easy. Nearly there with my egg fried rice, just adding and adjust the amount of egg for the portion size and amounts of sugar msg salt and soy now for my taste

To be clear do you measure with your finger from the bottom of the pan to water level or from the top of the rice to the water level in your cooker? I think its top of rice to water level but not sure. Please consider a Christmas special of all your mums funniest piece to camera this year.

If I'm doing fried rice, I use the steamer either the night before, or first thing in the morning, before it goes in my wok. I steam 2 thirds long grain, and 1 third jasmine. I also sometimes mix a tiny bit of sesame oil in the rice, before it cools, when it first comes out the steamer. The aroma is incredible, and the finished rice is amazing, when its been through the wok 😉

I've put off buying a rice cooker for years but might, seeing how cheap they are, give it a go. One question though..... I may have missed it but couldn't find any reference to salting the water. I wash my rice well, Jasmine for Chinese/Thai food, cook it in salted water for 9 minutes then drain and rinse in boiling water and draining again before putting back in the pan with lid on for the remaining water to be absorbed by the rice. Do you never salt the rice?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Another great entertaining video 👍....definitely agree with rice cookers, can't go wrong. I had Chinese takeaway last night and after watching how you guys prepare dishes it just reminded me how bad my Local really is unfortunately, which in a town with around 15 Chinese restaurants within a 2 mile radius, you would have thought that it would be better... My BBQ Ribs were very opaque looking with no colour and tasted just like sweet cornflour and my prawn toast was literally just some fried bread with sessemi seads dipped on top in old oil with no distinct flavour.... Il be definitely testing out a few of your recipes in the future.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

I did cook rice in a good steamer turned out pretty good but def will look into a rice cooker

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

You should try them, they work out so much better :)

I love this video. I bought a pan Asia panda rice cooker earlier this year. Its incredible and idiot proof. The rice is always perfect :)

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

I know right, it don't get people that don't buy one lol, its like refusing to eat your food with a fork because you're hands are good enough

[@wendypeterwendywendy]

I bought one of the Panda rice cookers too - bloody brilliant they are.

[@feelinwoozy]

I'm aware this sounds absolutely ridiculous but when it comes to getting the water level right do you measure from just on top of the rice? Almost like hovering above the rice and then to the first line or are you actually touching the bottom of the rice cooker pan insert? Ridiculous I know 🤦‍♂️ lol.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

From the top of the rice :)

[@feelinwoozy]

@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Ok, Sweet. I've been doing it wrong then lol. I've been rinse rice > water > finger straight to the bottom of the pan and up to the first line, I'm sure my rice will come out even better now I've clarified this. Thanks Chin!
