My mom taught me how to for a single serving of rice by steaming the rice in a glass bowl.
I live in a small apartment, where space matters, so I use the olden days method, the way my Paw Paw taught me. I boil the rice in a cast aluminum pot, with ratio of 1 cup rice to 1 cup water. I could use the finger… but with Thai Jasmine rice, this ratio is accurate.
I was about to comment about the finger knuckle thing for measuring the right amount of water and then Daddy Lau talked about that too! We use a old National brand (a.k.a. Panasonic) rice cooker from the late 1980s for cooking rice and congee, that rice cooker is super simple in operation and only relies on a magnetic relay to turn the heat off. In Singapore and Malaysia, the most popular type of rice is Thai jasmine (or Hom mali) rice, since that's from a neighboring country. Most brands are graded AAA, although each household may have a preferred brand. I have to point out that you can't really use a rice cooker for basmati rice or arborio rice because of the different cooking techniques needed.
One more thing, I'm not sure if Daddy Lau's actually done it before, but claypot rice sounds like something for a future episode!
"Put in rice cooker' Boom
Love your dad and I love your channel. Thank you for sharing this priceless information.
以前同學留美就帶大同電鍋，很簡單啊，一個按鍵飯就煮好了😂
美國有沒有賣越光米？泰國米和美國米比較長，口感比較硬，感覺炒飯和燉飯很適合，煮一般配菜的白飯越光米和短米比較軟黏，老人家很適合！
That’s exactly how I make my rice but I use an instant pot and it only takes 10 minutes. It comes out perfectly every time.
I too am a fan of Zojirushi, my water boiler from them has been working perfectly for over a decade
Two questions: What is your dad's preferred brand of Jasmine rice? If mixing Jasmine and American Long Grain, do the water ratios change from when using just Jasmine?
I love you watching you and your dad did lot of good Cantonese dishes. Rice is the basic but essential to Chinese food, one must know how to cook it first.
For many years I did not rinse rice. The reason is in the 70s there was an article in the Food Section of the newspaper that said white rice was sprayed with vitamins. So washing the rice would remove the vitamins.
i wash rice 3 times too from the first time i cook rice until now. didn't particularly learn it anywhere, it just feels right to wash it 3 times smh 😂
Great tutorial! I also wash my rice 3 times! I find if i dont, it tends to be stickier and a tad mushy in the bottom. I do 1 cup to 1.5 cup water. Works everytime!
如果你想去沃爾瑪，從你家開車需要多長時間
We Greeks wash three times also! 😊
I admire your family and the traditions that you are passing down. Very inspiring (and the recipes are great!) My late husband worked in both China and Japan for extended periods of time and enjoyed the cuisine in both countries (he ate everything). After his first trip, he came home and told me that whatever we were doing to cook rice, was wrong. lol I love rice and wish we'd known about rice cookers then. Thank you.🤗
Excuse me, I have signed up to win the rice cooker, I don't understand the last request: how to confirm: I just keyed in my email address, confirm? Is it correct?
I have only basic rice cooker. I cook thai jasmin rice with ratio rice 1 : water 1.5. however, it depends on how long the rice is kept after harvested.
I can vouch for Zojirushi, I own one thats 14 years old and still going strong. I also have a newer pressure IH tiger. I still think the Zojirushi cooks slightly better rice. Probably should have gotten myself a Zojirushi pressure IH instead.
Your food has a certain enchantment to it. Although I admire your efforts, I was wondering if you could show KHAL viewers a video of you cooking.+.😍 😍😍😍

多謝劉叔叔🙏🏻
Zojirushi sucks because it takes a long time to cook rice. Tiger brands suck also because the inner container always peels off. I got a Narita brand where the inner container is stainless steel. American rice has been tested by Consumer Reports and was found to contain the high levels of arsenic, especially the brown rice variety. They found that those that were grown in the Texas and other states in the South were especially high. So, try not to give your babies rice baby food unless you make it yourself from Thai jasmine or basmati rice. Washing rice was shown to remove as much as 30% of the arsenic out.
Any suggestions for timing if we cook rice using microwave?
Wash rice 3x place in rice cooker, cook and then enjoy. That is how I make my rice 🍚
This video is very relevant to me and my username
8:14 Oops Nicole
Do not waste the water used for washing the rice. It is very nutrious and great to be used for watering plants 🪴
If you dont have a rice cooker, cook it in a banemarie over boiling water or steam it. I usually do this by using a large pan. Just place the bowl in and cook, water to rice ratio is the same, though you can reduce it a little to account for the chances of water bubbling into the bowl and the extra moisture trapped within the pan. Takes around 30 mins for 2 scoops. Its much better than cooking it over the stove, especially for small amounts like a single cup.
What is your father’s favorite name? Brand of jasmine rice? My mother’s friend used to make this jasmine rice that was so floral. It was delicious.
😋🍚🎉👍🏼
brother can you cook rice without a rice cooker let us know😎

How would you advise people using clay pots for rice cooking ?
We used to use Japanese rice or China 🇨🇳 rice and use a cup of rice to 1 and a 1/2 cup of water for measurements.
Starting on my journey to learn new foods. Enjoying your channel.
Granddaddy LAU, the Japanese brand ‘ZOJIRUSHI’ is among the best Japanese brand In kitchen appliances. The former HITACHI rice cooker was also the best, but due to modern technology, ‘ZOJIRUSHI’ rice cooker is the next among other Japanese kitchen appliances 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I seriously don't get why many YouTube cooking channels dont use a rice cooker when cooking rice. Is it a flex thing?
我以前洗米也是這樣洗的。後來看影片學日式洗米法(倒掉水後，讓無水濕米摩擦去掉表面白粉)，真的是又快又清潔。
Uncle Roger would be very proud
It is amazing your dad is so patient. Most Chinese fathers would blow a gasket if asked too many questions….
Always a good idea o wash the rice. Testing has found that a good portion of rice on the market has arsenic.
Washing removes it.
I wish my rice cooker sung to me. I love my rice cooker, I have a YumAsia one. But it still disappoints me it doesn’t sing to me 😂
Daddy Lau reacting to the rice cooker song should be a gif.
I've got a Zojirushi NP-NVC18, which from what I can tell is an older model of the same one in the vid, and as a frequent rice eater its been worth every penny I spent on it. With zero effort it can make good rice, with a bit of effort it'll make great rice, and since it's pressurized I've made up five or six cups at once and then it stays good for an entire week. (assuming you're not opening it constantly)
We do have a rice cooker but, I do it the way my mum taught me to cook rice. Never fails.
If the rice is too mushy, you can turn it into rice porridge or congee
The older people always washed the rice and many still wash it. Younger people often point out that the bag says the rice is pre-washed and they skip this step. Some of us do not trust the pre-washed.
I bought a Zojirushi induction rice cooker a decade ago and its the only way i cook rice now. Ive made dozens of recipes in it with half a dozen types of rice. Cooks perfect every time!
