Hi! Is there a way to make the brown rice in the rice cooker?
👍Very well done, I like this very much 👍
Very helpful! Thank you so much. I am also interested in cooking sushi rice, as I just ordered some. I have always used regular white rice for my sushi rolls, but I desire to be authentic. I love Japanese recipes.
Thank you! I love this format!
I live a happy life together with my small Zojirushi rice cooker. I had some difficulties finding one that is small and takes the correct voltage but they are out there. I live in Sweden where the boiled potato is the norm but since i can´t eat that due to health reasons the rice cooker is a true lifesaver. Thank You Ladies for yet another nice and informative video, keep up the good work!
I'm sure many found the very helpful. While I can and have made my rice on the stove top, I confess to being spoiled now I have the same rice cooker shown and love it. The odd part is when I hit start button and it sings its little song I still smile.
I personally only wash rice once as I like the texture of sticky rice. I find if washed too much, it looses it's texture too much and is also a waste of water.
Awww I want a high quality rice cooker🥺🥺
How io cook rice? Get a rice cooker. That's all you need to know.
I lived in Thailand and knew Thai a chef who had lived in Japan and trained as a Japanese chef in top restaurants, he then returned to Thailand and ran a Japanese restaurant in Bangkok. He told me the secret of turning Thai rice into Japanese. Basically take 4 parts Khao Hom (Thai rice) and mix it with one part sticky rice. The 20% glutinous rice adds the equivelent stickiness to the rice to Japanese rice. In addition the basis of 80% Khao Hom the best rice in the world, gives you an end product that is superior quality to Japanese rice.
always good to brush up on the basics, it's very easy to forget the techniques that make the rice perfect ❤👍
love the new look guys
do you have a Furikake video?
I couldn't love without my Zojirushi cooker 🥰. I mostly buy Botan rice here in the USA! Only bc I dont really have a asian market near me unless I order it.
Great video…
I think Hawaii people can cook rice with eyes closed..lol Rice is used for breakfast lunch n dinner. Calrose type .. Even McDonald's serves steamed rice here for breakfast..
Think that's first thing kids learn to make here ( mostly via rice cooker with finger method but hurricane times you gotta learn how to cook on stove top hibachi if necessary lol).. Before days there was a saying " Ah, Go home cook rice!" Like to tell someone to get lost – beat it lol
When You said what to put on rice I was like now you are talking my language.. Furikake on rice oh big juicy ume n daikon ..when sick we get broth n shove rice inside..
When I went to continental U.S. I was lost in the store, they didn't have rice only had what was that? uncle Ben's rice..they said we have rice n hand me a box of uncle Ben's ..yeah not da kind of rice I was talking about. Then some kind soul intervened n said there was an asian store.. I went straight there n I was like a child in a toy store.. The owners were laughing.. Cuz I was shoving all sorts of things in my cart n got big " bags " of rice.. 50 lb bag x2 N long rice ( bean thread) and shoyu ,nori , ume , hondashi.. Mochiko …N chop sticks!
I had the biggest smile exiting store ..real food !! Felt like I won a lottery at 23 ..They did ask inside, where are you from ? I said Hawaii and thank you for saving me !! haha first thing I did was cook rice when i got home ( the shoyu was different than what I was used to but it worked)..n made teriyaki beef sticks for next day.. Here our hurricane supplies are Rice , Spam , nori ,
Furikake , ramen packets , water n toilet paper .
As long as you got those items you are good..
Now a days with online feature you can buy but back then the struggle was real..
What is the size of the Staub pot used?
why do you soak the rice for 30 min?
Wonderful video!
Next video should be on "how to make 100% authentic Japanese tea" ! Please! 🙏🙏🙏
Will try it at home next time. I didn’t know about the soaking. Thanks. For measurements, instead of remembering things in cups, I have made the following calculations.
White rice: Use 10% more water than rice in volume
Brown rice: Use 30% more water than rice in volume
Nice
Oh no! a COLANDER!
I use the cloudy rice water to water my plants.
So amazing looks tempting delicious 😋 thanks for sharing stay safe stay bless stay connected 👌 🙏
