How to Measure Rice Proportions with Your Finger - CHOW.com

[retrotw]

u can use the finger method...just not like how she does it...

u dont have to fill up to any joint...ur finger is just an indication to u for how many water you should put in later...the 1:2 portion is ridiculous too...if u have a giant pot and decides to cook a giant load of rice that ratio wont work...ull end up having soggy porridge like stuff...its all about experience really...every stove every pan works differently...

[xAiiRPLANES]

This is how my Filipino mom has taught me to do it. Except we wash it first and then measure. :3

[ImpulseCHAR]

@xAiiRPLANES exactly what my mom taught me too :)

[Psquit]

@ireallydohaveabrain you have to wash it?

[pantyholic]

Remind me not to eat at your house, wearing all the jewellery whilst handling food would get any chef fired. Here's a tip learn some principles of hygiene and contamination control

[rachel14604]

This is how many asians do it, and we cook good rice. =)

[aeroguino]

Actually in Indonesia, where people eat rice everyday for every meal, we use this kind of technique and ended up with a perfectly cooked rice

[emmabee11]

Where did washing your rice come from guys? lol you don't wash rice you just only drain it at the end, i hate to think how soggy rice will be if you wash it lol and um i don't think that's really that helpful, what if you only want rice for one person?.

[Lightricky]

THATS DISGUSTING.

[peanutking242]

@Lightricky u dont even cook...now thats disgusting

[proton10000]

that finished rice looked horrible, its a disgrace to Asians everywhere. Do yourself a favor and buy a rice cooker!

[dannymrowr]

Is it really something extra to wash if you're just measuring water into the cup...

[TheDiwanShantwain]

This tip won't always work. What if you're E.T.? or a witch? or megan fox?

[patthemonkey]

They heard it wrong. You put in as much rice as you will need, fill with water and when the water reach the top of the rice you put your finger in and touch the rice then add water until it comes to the end of the first joint. If you do this it doesn't matter how much rice you prepare. Be sure to rinse the rice and add a good pinch of salt too.

[edwardnr17]

Wash the rice first? :S

[iHuwae]

so for how many people is this ??

[CambodianCircuitMan]

your not gonna rinse the rice?

[lindyan]

Damn woman, stop talking in imperative already.

[bigshotbob88]

[coteya]

1 cup rice = 2 cup water not that hard

[TWILIGHT34H5YU8T138T]

wat if u want more or less o_o geez and plus u dont have to take out no measuring tools just ur finger geez

[JimmyDasnitch92]

k so why didnt she keep the lid on the rice....steam cooks the rice

[sponjiraggae]

holy fuck

[Syntox]

ONLY on YOUTUBE can a video about making rice descend into a race war...sigh.

[zeeet]

this wont work. it depends on the circumference of your pot.

[n4v32x]

it will because its about the proportions not the actual number... its still 2 to 1 even if the pot is 10 times as large.

[andypjs]

if the pot has a bigger circumference than of course it'll fit more >_>

[n4v32x]

yes it will fit more but the proportions will be the same, no matter how much rice is, there will be twice as much water if you follow that tip.

[The1337muffinman]

Depends how big your pan is you fucking dumbass

[supertoan1234]

funny methode.

[A1ll9e5n]

No shit...

[binsar86]

it's so ancient tips.. if u come from asian, u should know this.. we eat rice everyday..

[macaw2000]

The trouble is asian fingers are shaped differently.

[chinesedude001]

asians know how much to put in so we use nothing so no problems its only for your dumb white people

[dhandle]

I'm Asian and I'm offended by your dumb ignorant comment. You're an idiot.

[chinesedude001]

it was a reply to a racist....idiot... got no asian pride?

[instantramen]

"dumb white people" first. Asians like you make our people look bad.

[chinesedude001]

so next time i just ignore those racists?

[macaw2000]

I suppose next you're going to say that Asian fingers are long and skinny and that lets them play violin very good? Racist!

[instantramen]

Response to macaw2000:

Please ignore the chinesedude001 idiot. I think he's still going through puberty.

[unfreez]

Actully they play piano good

[chinesedude001]

no thats the problem they think we have idiot

[instantramen]

Response to chinesedude001:

First of all, I'd like to confirm that I am Asian myself. BUT YOU on the other hand disappoint me and Asian people in general. Is it necessary that you say "its only for dumb white people"?? What is your problem? Are you some kid who's all hung up on "aZn prYdeEE"? Please, grow up. You also replied to dhandle saying "it was a reply to a racist...idiot..got no asian pride?" You ARE THE IDIOT and the hypocrite because you must be racist yourself because you said,

[Chantzehao]

Or...you could measure it out with a measuring cup....

OR you could use the flat hand technique which works for more/less rice if you need it rather than relying on the finger thing which only lets you make 1 cup (1 joint?) worth.

[SHADOWS113]

i already knew this...im asian =P

btw you need to rinse the rice...

[AmbrosioF]

OMG!! I was thinking the same thing! Yes!

[SHADOWS113]

lmao =D

[skatekoh]

hmm something is wrong with the water...

i just cant put my finger in it...

[0ldSandwich]

this bitch has no idea..... she didn't wash the rice, she didn't bother to think that not every person in the world has the same exact pan with the same exact dimensions....

[kaikahitonari]

my mom and her mom and her mom use this method and believe me, our rice is awesome. it's an asian thing,

[shadowhunter45s]

Cow tits .........

[CrashGames2108]

That's so cool. Is that a cast iron saucepan? Mediocre tip, though.

[sensangsun]

that is not how you cook rice, you didnt even wash it first!

[0ldSandwich]

that's dumbfuck white people for you.... how much do you want to bet that she poured it from a little cardboard box?

[FpsMuch]

err lol?

the portions should always be 2 cups water to every 1 cup of rice.

[RicH0864]

I just make the water twice the level of the rice.

Works every time.

[hlpme]

she didn't wash the rice...

[Naproxenum]

&finger... now whole thing will smell fishy.....

[topfli72]

i think many of the chow tips are great, but this is absolutely ridiculous. someone with a giant stock pot is going to do this and end up with 4 pounds of rice. this is a whole new level of lazy.

[YaoMingLily]

But isn't every pan different? And all our joints are slightly different?

[bebepoeta]

Ha ha ha ha!!!

[PrescriptionSeven]

or dont be a lazy douche and wash that cup.

[cheechlol]

omfg, omfg omfg you made my fucking day holy shit...that is great
