Oddbean new post about login | logout When you make rice so good that you want to eat the whole bowl by itself. Today is a good day.
Good note. I saw the news re: 45 attending the Bitcoin conference and my eyes were like 😵💫
I feel like he is going there just to piss me off. Good thing we have the open source stage.
I think it is better than 46 sitting in the seat behind you.
Ah, the dangerous path to gluttony. Well made food. And all we have is willpower to fend it off.
A rice cooker always makes perfect rice. Because, science. 🧪
I tried 3 of them. None of them made rice better than what I can manually do in a regular pan 🤷
Strange. It only failed me one. The first time I used it. Because i was used to water evaporating, so I normally put more water than rice. Then I learned 1:1 made perfect rice since no almost no water escapes.
I don't know. I never liked rice cooker rice. It's too bland. There is something off about it. Maybe it's the frying of the rice I do before adding water. 🤷
Rice cookers are excellent for making perfectly sticky sushi rice. Sushi rice is often short-grain white rice. This same rice is often mixed with 1/3 Jasmine rice when making fried rice, or entirely from long grain rices. Frying rice before cooking is uncommon in America to my knowledge, however, it is used to accomplish arroz rojo, or red rice, used in Hispanic cuisine and TexMex. Japanese sushi rice may include vinegar, salt/MSG, and sugar. Fried rice will of course include more seasonings, potentially white pepper, egg, veg. You want to use a lighter soy sauce instead of a dark soy sauce like Kikkoman, which is more tuned for complimenting sushi. tl;dr rice cookers won't season your food for you! They are great for convenience and scale. I will have to try out your recipe some time.
Oh hell yes frying the rice makes a very different and delicious kind of rice. Especially if I was doing risotto I wouldn't do it any other way. But I use a rice cooker all the time for the brown rice that goes into my "bachelor chow." Because I don't have to bother with it, I know it will take care of itself.
I've never heard of dis frying of the rice before cooking.. will have to try it.
Best Rice Two cups water or broth to 1 cup rice. Add pinch sea salt and cap of vinegar and about 1 teaspoon butter. Bring to a roaring boil. Add Rice. Boil rice for 5 minutes with lid barely cracked. Turn off, close lid and let sit for 20 minutes. Open and take fork with butter and fluff it with fork. Enjoy.
Nah, no butter. Fry 1 chopped garlic clove over a spoon of olive oil for 30 seconds on high. Add 1 cup of recently washed rice (some water left) and fry the rice for 2 minutes. Add two teaspoons of salt, 1.8 cups of water and 1 bay leaf. Let it boil, close the lid, reduce to simmer and wait 30 mins. :)
Yo what's the nostr game dev telegram??
No idea.
What's good tho man ? Do you cook your rice on the stove ? Or zugiroshi??
Once I learned the knuckle trick my rice always turned out great.
I don't have that issue with a rice cooker 😅
Good day indeed
