HOW TO cook rice

[LucasW1981]

That rice was a disaster

[Amgieloblob]

Only Asian people know how to cook rice very well

[XxBabyV123xX]

this is not the way i cook rice :P Or how the rest of my family or people iknow cook rice. Hmmm..... i guess people have unique ways to cook it o_O. i wonder how u cook yellow rice lmao.........

[marlouis1]

Alot of people will go with a rice cooker. And theres nothing wrong with having a rice cooker. However in most professional kitchens with chefs that have exacting standards won't let you cook rice that way. They want to see if you know how to cook rice. They are nice, but you won't ever find a rice cooker in Hell's Kitchen.

[MrJrDream]

Instead of boiling why don't you just

buy a rice cooker?

[iTab4]

The cook's name at here is Pete

[Danoftouni]

Rice cookers make perfect rice every time and they're pretty cheap. p.s. I think Japanese rice tastes far better to the long grain indian stuff, sweeter and a more moist texture. But I guess most people don't eat enough rice to make it worth their while >..< Fair enough =)

[ROFLSTEALTHBOMBER]

This guy keeps me from going hungry



[the8lackra88it]

whoa 1:08 mystery cook's face revealed

[pho3nixq]

Put rice in a pot, pour water (cold) over it till it covers the rice with an inch of water. Bring to the bowl then turn it off. The heat and water is absorbed by the rice, perfect rice every time, no stiring, timing, or worries.

[Coolshanny]

LOL. you trying to cook congee? wash rice, put rice in pot, put water in pot until water is about one inch above rice, use your first index finger crease from the nail to measure 1 inch. boil together until water has evaporated and water has been absorbed by rice. important to cover it, so that the steam will not escape. i know this cause im asian xD

[kotonizna]

F A I L ! lololololololololol!!!!!

[sionnyn]

This isn't Jamie Oliver.

[BarefootArizona]

SOAK YOUR RICE!!!

I really can't believe there are people who cook rice without first soaking it for at least an hour. The difference is night and day.

Oh yeah, and WASH IT!

[BarefootArizona]

"Rice is good when you are hungry and want to eat 6,000 of something."

-Mitch Hedburg

[Catsincages]

That is NOT Jamie Oliver!

[fr13dr1c3r]

u should wash the rice =)

[326aw]

salt? no. and you didnt wash it so youre eatingall that extra startch. not a very smart method for someone who preaches about obesity.

[kaetaa90]

guys its not short grain rice he doesnt have to wash it ... but that is certainly an... interesting... way to COOK rice.

[Drixcs]

did I just heard salt...?

[ItsRobinWhoTalks]

@Drixcs

I always put salt and sugar into the water, it's delicious

[Pisulici]

@ItsRobinWhoTalks don't use sugar when you cook the rice..... you'll get sick soon or later....

[ItsRobinWhoTalks]

@Pisulici

I always do that, and i have never gotten sick ^^

Thanks for the advice though :)

[Coolshanny]

@ItsRobinWhoTalks sugar?! thats very unhealthy..

[marcusduck]

@Drixcs You won't taste the salt, but it will stop the rice from being dead bland.

[Coolshanny]

@marcusduck rice is suppose to be bland.. you eat it with dishes :)

[misstdotqt]

It's so cool to see how different cultures make rice. I'm of Jamaican descent and this is definitely not how we do it. Same general idea but different :P

[evanparker]

i dunno who the fuck this is but he cooked the rice fucking wrong

[NaziCheese]

SALT?! WTF.

[ArrcanarStudios]

@NaziCheese YES!!!!

[Roberton55]

so hungry its 11.26pm in mexico about to try make my first rice bolw wish me luck problably goin to start a fire

[envirosponsible]

It's his mate, Pete everyone.

[MyLauralicious]

your suppose to add salt while boiling it in the water -.-

[penoking]

i use a rice cooker?

[sopfood]

it went wrong, I added too much water. But I just added some sugar and it made a great rice pudding. :)

[DoraMclie]

he is not jamie, you can see it from the reflection -.-

[FreeYoursInteractive]

FY@FB - 1C - Jamie, wie kocht man Reis? -

[stones967]

OMGGGGGG, i just cooked my rice, but i forgot to wash it :(

[dyemzone]

FAIL lmao!

[bfvweltfrieden]

hey man thx its 0:33 AM in germany and i was so fucking hungry

but thanks to your vid i was able to make a beatiful plate of rice^^ thx, ill eat and good night^^

[foltan1]

HE'S SCOTTISH! How can people not tell that he's not English?! Jesus!

[GrumblingPete]

@foltan1 lmao, I had to check twice that it was Jamie's channel.. but no, that's not Jamie Oliver.

[nikon1dsmarkIII]

God damn it white people can't cook rice



[sick2bu]

My version:

1. Ratio of water to rice; 2:1

2. Cover lid. let it cook, stir occasionally so the bottom doesn't burnt.

3. when cooked, mealtime!

[alvonyuszi]

hm. in my family we wash rice 2 times first, then cook with oil, and the rice gets hard. then we use 1,5 times more water than rice, cover it and cook it at low heat. wait until the water is gone, and check if the rice is ready. if it isn't, put more water and wait until done.

[alvonyuszi]

@alvonyuszi oh and first we boil the water too.

[stigmatic79]

-How to cook rice- Easy by a rice steamer problem solved....!

[kernelzown]

That is Jamie Oliver is it not? His voice sounds exactly the same =/

[quityojibbajabbaa]

@kernelzown its not jamie at all

[ryan14ization]

You don't have to pre wash all rice, most restaurants and such buy pre washed rice

[3ndo0orx3]

maybe he washed it before recording -.- not a big deal :s

[oetjock]

the guy is not Jamie... watch his left hand - no ring, Jamie wears a ring

[TeamRekon]

This is how i cook my rice but i wash it 3-4 times first. He might've bought really clean and expensive rice

[hypnonebula]

If you are asian why are you watching how to cook rice? =) Hehe I'm asian too...

[SwoopdySwoop]

i would only use a rice cooker.....AROMA rice cooker

[fourcatsandatree]

Uh, no? I'm chinese and I grew up with rice, that looks like you're cooking porridge there... Just wash the rice and put water in to a quarter inch above the rice line and boil till it's dry. More water if you want it soft. As much water as in the video if you want porridge and a longer boiling time if you want congee. The video looks like it's cooking pasta. Never heard of salting rice, either.

[BACasey81]

my mum always uses basmati rice, she never washes it, then again she doesn't live in asia! Chinese always wash their rice but seldom boil water first, as they have special rice boilers...

[coquejuggler]

or just get a small rice cooker.....

[ruleofwrist20]

just wish it were jamie telling us this....this bloke doesn't do it for me

[BeaOmega]

1st u have 2 rinse the rice, & then measure the right amount of H2O to add...

[MrVenebi]

Salting already cooked rice is not a good practice in my opinion. You should salt the water. Another thing, at the steaming stage, you may want to cover your pot with a paper towel and then with a lid. This will prevent water from condensing back into your rice. I guarantee, if you simply boil the dry rice and add a pinch (!?) of salt to it, it'll taste like shit...

[hellmut888]

Bad sense for the obvious

[nos3020919]

Use a rice cooker. I usually don't care about the numeral proportion of water and rice. My grandma teach me to put my palm onto the rice surface. If the water level reaches the mid-way of the third segment of the fingers, that's the right amount of water, no matter how much rice you're going to cook. However the right water level varies a little bit with different kinds of rice or other family rice cookers.

[nos3020919]

@aoiahiru totally agree with you. cooked unwashed rice grains have tough/dusty texture on the surface, just taste it. and that the tough texture of unwashed white rice is totally different from and much worse than red rice and brown rice(which are tasty :P)

[hunterbsb]

Do or do not wash your rice?!? Well there are more important things to worry in life. IMO whe are getting a sort of phobia of germs and bacterias that is irrational, and is preventing the enjoyment of life, the proof is that nowadays everyone has some type of allergy. Eat dirt and be happy!!! (Although I keep saying that rice is not dirty)

The opinion exposed in my last comment is from myself, a culinary student from Brazil the western country that most produce and consumes rice in the world.

[cookiememorytin]

@hunterbsb haha i thought asia ate the most rice. >.>

[hunterbsb]

@cookiememorytin 1st Asia is not a country... 2nd I thought it was clear when I said "WESTERN country"... 3rd eat rice

[jondoe19896091]

dear haters, if u want soft fluffy rice, there is another way to do it, which is to bring it to a boil, and then turn down the heat to low for another 10-20 mins, depending how soft u want it to be.

If u want grainy rice, which is how most western restaurants serve their rice, or if you want to make fried rice, and havent got any cold/leftover rice.

[SychoRune]

he does it so wrong...

[whereisfiona]

he doesn't sound like Jamie.

[TBOTWUC9]

Well you could use a rice cooker.........

[Moemay9]

apparently all those millions and billions of Asian have been doing it wrong for the past thousands of years, till Jamie comes to the rescue. There is more thank one way to skin a cat and I ought to know <<<< kidDING

So is it necessary to remove your pants and undies before you fart, Jamie Oliver thinks so.........:)

[Saitothesushi]

That is not how you cook rice at all....

[MetaBrainX]

Nobody has a "rice cooker" rotfl.

Here in Portugal everyone knows how to fucking cook rice for god sake. We aren't no fatty stupid americans. Please.

[FayedyTot]

@MetaBrainX Ficarias chocado com o número de pessoas que já conheci que não sabem fazer um arroz decente. E são portugueses.

[lemonrind]

Dear Asians: STFU.

[platoonutzeyz]

$50 rice cooker. done.

[MsJasmineHu]

maybe you gotta wash the rice cuz there's too much starch on it.. i think.

[polta1414]

you know???? there people that no have enough money to buy a rice cooker and this is how we do in peru so shut up

[hunterbsb]

OMG people, the rice that you buy is already clean. When you wash it you are just removing a good amount of starch from it !!!

[angeluspride]

disgusting.

[RusNad]

guys, i think jamie oliver knows what he's doing when he cooks rice...

[tueybooo]

@RusNad

that's not Jamie who's doing this.

[groyboy]

it all depends on what kind of rice you are cooking ppl....

[0badboy0]

people say this isnt how u cook it.. but tbh does it look good? STFU.

[shotmillions]

THIS IS NOT HOW YOU COOK RICE!

[noldorian86]

its way easier to just put some rice in a pot and then add water until youve got like an inch or two between the rice and the surface of the water. turn on the heat and when it starts to boil just turn the heat down to low and put the lid on and when the waters absorbed youre fucking done

[jen1411]

I am not going to diss this but YOU SHOULD WASH YOUR RICE MAN, its bloody dirty

[Cymmmm]

asians are soo racist

[samewish]

this is my first time thumb down jamie video...because this is not cook rice...

why reject use rice cooker? rice cooker and use many way not just cook rice

[MusicLastsForever429]

:O YOU HAVE TO LET ALL THE WATER ABSORB/EVAPORATE!!!! I'm Indian and I know this (I'm 11)

[fryfisher81]

what is the point of making it so complicated??

"Jasmine" rice: boil water turn the heat down to very low, chuck the rice in the kettle, stir a couple of times, put the lid on and leave for 15 mins, then turn off the heat and leave for min 5 mins or more it will stay nice and warm upon serving, do not remove the lid, (ratio: 2 parts water and 1 part rice)

[hackerboy425]

im asian and thats the horrible way of cooking rice its so easy aand simple first WASH THE RICEEEEEE and measure the rice using cups and count of cups is also the measure of water your going to use!!!!and cook it until it dries up!!!

[derekbegins]

and omg you dont add salts to rice!!! =.="the saltiness all come from the dishes u are gonna serve together with the rice..

[derekbegins]

lol this look more like porridge then rice..

that rice is obviously gonna be too soft and mushy like porridge.

[skelanth]

Love how people who don't know how to cook are sayin' that a world-class chef doesn't know how to cook. There are HUNDREDS of ways to cook rice. This is but one. This particular recipie keeps rice light and fluffy. Rice is not supposed to be a main dish, but as an accent to provide fullness to vegetables or fish, etc. It's a fast burning carb, and even in Asian cultures it's cooked in many different ways depending on how it's being served. This IS easy. Ofc if u want avg rice use a rice cooker.

[scarletvalentine]

@skelanth yeah! tell them! jeez...it's edible right? you can eat it right? it's fluffy and shit? THEN ITS COOKED. thanks for this insight

[TheAlmirul]

i dont think the rice is well cook!cooking rice is suppose to be fun and super easy..theres no need to use two pot.i guess jamie must have learned the wrong method. LOLS

[KaySayNg]

You have to wash the rice first . . . - .-

[derekbegins]

@KaySayNg yep washing is crucial. ask the japanese for the reason..

and washing = getting rid of extra starch and dirt... the japanese cooks perfect rice.

[sukumvit]

@derekbegins The Japanese person cooks perfect rice by using a hi-tech $200 rice cooker... Most are shocked to even discover you can just cook rice in a $10 pot! I had to teach my Japanese wife how to cook rice in a pot instead of just pushing "START" on a rice cooker.

[derekbegins]

@sukumvit yes i know . you CAN cook rice on a $10 pot. but i would rather get a $200 rice cooker and have my rice cook perfectly Everytime without even bothering to add any salt,butter,oil in it while cooking my rice in a pot? and when you calculate the time, it would be much more worthit to use a $200 rice cooker then cooking rice with a pot on a stove that takes much more effort.

[MusicHeartification]

@KaySayNg why? never wash my rice...

[KaySayNg]

@MusicHeartification because if you don't wash the rice

its really dirty and stuff

try wash your rice and have a look at the water ,

[MusicHeartification]

@KaySayNg true. but is there any difference in taste after all?

[KaySayNg]

@MusicHeartification not quite sure ,

since i haven't tried it ,

but i'm assuming dirt doesn't taste very nice

[ShatterEffectt]

@KaySayNg thats the starch not dirt dude, your rice is already washed when u buy it...

[KaySayNg]

@ShatterEffectt my apologies ,

i wasn't entirely sure --

so going with the usual assumption that -> dirty things need to be cleaned ,

i assumed that the water being washed away was some sort of dirt / dust

sorry :c

[xihakuix]

@KaySayNg actually a lot of rice sold in america is sold pre-washed, so it's fine. i still wash all my rice out of paranoia though.

[Frikkn]

@KaySayNg On shows its usually prewashed and prepared...derp derp

[KaySayNg]

@Frikkn does that rice look cooked to you ?

if you look at the water after ,

it looks like it isn't

[thedamgame]

why is the material of the pan u are using? is it stainless steel, aluminum or cast iron, since i heard that some materials cant handle high temperature( react with the food) and some dont distributed heat equally

[Channypogosticks]

a good o'l tiger ricecooker for 60 bucks can save you all the electricity you use to just cook 2 meals...

[derekbegins]

@Channypogosticks rice cooker rocks.

[SwFt1987]

ik kook nooit rijst ik ga gewoon langs

de afhaalchinees haha

[haclieron]

this is NOT how we cook rice.

[Garjun]

Was that... was that Stephen Merchant haha? Most likely it isn't... but it sounded a lot like him. Bristol accent and all.

[olhippie1]

This would work with white rice but is a poor method for whole grain brown rice.

[linda2894]

just buy a rice cooker..what's so difficult?

[254322692]

@linda2894 That is not looks like a real chef ! rice cooker is for ordinary people..

[sukumvit]

@linda2894 A pro doesn't need a special machine to make every single thing they cook...

[jabarabaj]

pataka lang ka da, dia kibalo mu luto og rice!

[ohsosweetdd]

UMMMM ok im Pakistani and that is NOT how to cook rice and you are not jamie oliver pal

[Palladog]

That's not Jamie's voice, right?

[ZinjanthropusFilms]

These guys did a cooking show, like the redneck version of Jamie Oliver. Hilarious! Search THE BARE NEKKED CHEF.

[april981]

TO COOK RICE, MUST B 1:1 ... 1CUP RICE MUST B COOKED IN 1CUP WATER (A CUP IF THE RICE IS NEW BUT IF NOT,1 AND 1/4 CUP MAY DO)... WASH THE RICE, THEN ADD THE WATER AND LET THE GRAINS STICK TOGETHER AND WAIT TILL IT BECOMES FLUFFY...

[belladonna6633]

@april981  yup this is the way to cook rice. Most storebought rice is 1/1.4 cup water on 1 cup of rice

[CharlesChuck6]

hahaha i tried rice the way he cooked it and its pretty disgusting, i like how we asians cook it. not 2 say he cooks it bad but i just prefer the asian way to cook it better. no offence

[legendragon]

actually, there're certain places in Asia cooks kind of similar; however, I don't know why he adds salt in rice. if you cook it this way, rice won't stick together, but we have the rice cooker for a reason hahaha.

[KarinElegance]

Def. not how you cook it. I learned from my mom. She learned from my Grandma. And my grandma learned from her grandma cause her parents died. Ask the asians and filipinos. We know the secret .xP

[MercSLRFan]

He's so not Jamie.

[MadamMiaow]

Luv ya, Jamie, but that is laughable. NO--O-O-O-O! Do it the Chinese/Asian way. So much simpler.

[jackofthejack]

this way of cooking rice is way better and tastier. thumbs up!

[bababooie]

@jackofthejack Fail!

[manoj025]

That is just how you shouldn't cook rice. Seriously!! if it is Jamie Oliver , I am not learning from him any more. And ya its rice not pasta :D

[tripezy]

There is actually an invention called "Rice Cooker" and can be found in almost every household in Asia. That's over a billion rice cooker

[jrjrg]

Conclusion: Never eat rice cooked by a westerner!

[TruthGirl101]

@jrjrg thats not how we cook rice at all...thats a disgrace

[wunderfool1973]

I tried it this way and it was a lot better than any rice I've ever had from a rice cooker.

[marbes237]

asians cook it in different way. . .in just simple steps. . but the way you cook it, it's not that bad. . :)

[momothepeach1987]

is he Jamie ???????I saw someone else on the reflection though.....

[PapaRoachGeezer]

salt if bad for you

[mikontisott]

This is a really crap way to cook rice, no nutrients kept when you boil it then throw the water away, terrible.

[nc5sf11]

why not using the rice cooker!!!

[inaveneanar]

lol....that's not how you cook rice.

[meerkatlibrarian]

I want to see the face of the man who puts salt on his rice. Yuck. And fried rice uses day old rice.

[KumiLov3r]

cooking rice with a sieve.. hm lol?

and it isn't jamie himself, why you all discussing about that? There isn't written that the person who is cooking called jamie!

[Pitbikerider]

To comment on the "impostor" theory I did a little research. Goto his mothers day video on this channel and you will notice that the real jamie does not have dark dark arm hair the way this person does. Also the person in this video does not have a wedding ring on.... Jamie does in every video you see him in... so the question is why is jamie having someone act like him for his youtube channel...he must be too busy...

[tcookie]

Agreed. This is not the voice or style of the Naked Chef Jamie Oliver. Definitely an impostor.

[89skc89]

i'm sure jamie has never been to a chinese restaurant

[CYEggs]

Really,don't add salt in rice,that make rice taste disgusting,real good rice will have some slightly sweet taste in your mouth,that is rice =]

[backflash22]

Don't buy rice that cooks in 10 min, you'll want to be aiming for rice that takes 20-30 minutes to cook if you want the healthiest rice with the most long lasting energy.

[perduee]

each type of rice cooks differently, this looks like long grain, but I'm not sure what type.

[LilacB08]

so aren't you loosing nutrients in the water you are chucking out? I agree with the 'knuckle method'. Pour water over rice to one knuckle above rice level. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook 10 min or until done (depends on type of rice). All the water should be absorbed and then fluff the rice.

[baiboo]

this guy is not Jamie!!! fakester

[Ralva23]

Whata bout the peruvian style to cook rice?

[natsoont]

stick to the european food jamie dear...that is good for rice salad. not rice rice.

who puts salt into rice? asians love you xxx

[bytilmo]

rice like this makes a lot of sense... a pasta like approach. I'm gonna try it right now..

[bytilmo]

@bytilmo So i just tried this, and it came out quite well... I used italian rice but i'm sure with a different kind it can be even better..

[arthurandroid]

The guy doing the demo is clearly not Jamie Oliver. He sounds more like Stephen Merchant.

[Gigi086]

it's complicated! cooking rice is much more easier than this.

Wash the rice, pour the rice and water into a pan, water level should be about 1.5-2cm above the rice level, boil it in mid heat for 10mins. That's all!

[peacekid]

hahaha in hawaii thats not enough for like half a person

good video though

[skyblueff0]

Really guys? Why are you complaining on how to cook rice? It's simple. There's more than one approach to everything in life, in this case its cooking rice. And so what if it doesn't turn out the way you like it, different people have different preference.

So please stop bashing Jamie, this guys is actually a well known and establish chef, I'm pretty sure he knows what he's teaching.

[TheVittleVlog]

Nice lesson! Thanks!
