@@MaMa-uj4pp I agree! Parents AND grandparents can oftentimes forget how it truly felt to do something adulty for the first time. And yet, just because they get frustrated or impatient, it doesn't mean they don't love us with all their hearts!

@@SupahCray i think its not that but the problem is most of that generation knew the value of food since birth they often suffered famines and still had to face the shortages of world wars. In West Bengal ,India for example the british usually looted all our rice and sent it to west ,causing artificial famines here, so most ppl during that time used to rely on rice starch water instead of rice as it was expensive and as u know consuming only starch leads to carbohydrate poisoning so my parents grandparents used to tell us not to waste even a single grain of cooked or uncooked rice
Whoa! How about explaining that since the pan is hot, the water will steam when you add it, so either pour from a height or the side to AVOID being burned. Safety first!
I always made the deviled eggs in our family get-togethers or just as a snack. My nephew loved them so much that he asked me to make them everyday. After a few years of this I told him that I'd teach him how to make them so he could have them when I wasn't around. That was in 2001 and ever since then Chris has been making the deviled eggs for every family gathering. I'm so proud of him for keeping that tradition going and doing a great job.
Not enough mums teach their boys how to cook, they’ll either be living alone or with a partner one day so it’s good to know. My mum taught me and I love cooking now, and I’m quite good if I say so myself lol
@@kalhilton9703 That's awesome! Yeah you're right about that, my Mom, sister and I taught my nephews how to cook and they do quite well. It's also great to have a man cook for his wife sometimes too. I also don't think young girls are taught to cook much anymore either and that's not good.
Professional rice cooking Asian here. Tip #1: instead of pouring the rice into the measuring cup, just scoop the rice from the container using the measuring cup and using your finger swipe the excess rice to level the top.
THIS, although looking at the cup she's using, i don't think that's gonna fit in their rice container. they either need a smaller cup or a bigger rice container
@@jiraisuzuya😂 you can size down a measuring cup and do double the scoops. For example if it takes two cups of rice and the 1 cup measurement won’t fit the container downsize to a 1/2 cup that will fit in there to scoop it and just do that 4 times. Better than spilling rice on the countertop and floor. 😂😊
My mom was severely abused by my grandmother growing up in Mexico. When it came to us, she was so gentle and reassuring. It takes a lot of courage to break generational trauma/abuse; I’m sure your kids appreciate how kind you are to them when learning. I know I’m extremely grateful for my mom and so are my siblings! You’re doing an amazing job mama! And also, tell your daughter that I want a plate 😋 jeje , sending you and you family love and peace 🤍
Instead of scrapping the rice around with a fork you should invest in a rice spatula. The rice will be fluffier, plus you won't scratch up your pan with a rice spatula. 😊
@@joycecreceliusUtube Be careful with cookware from Temu. Plastic tools often have BPA which can harm your hormones. A wooden or silicone spoon is safer.
Thank you for reminding that you have to be patient with whoever you are teaching, specially young people. My grandma absolutely traumatized me in the kitchen so i never again tried to learn her German recipies, it scarred me.
She did so great!!! I started cooking at a very young age, and remember starting a grease fire 🔥 good lord. That’s great that you’re walking her through each step! And, guiding her gently… needless to say, I became the chef of the family. And still make some of our old recipes every so often. What you’re doing is a core part of her life! Great job! ❤
Rice is SO hard to get right!! I have been making it for maybe like 5 years & I still only get it right every so often lol it honestly depends on the rice, which pot you use & how hot your pan is! Keep at it baby girl, you got a good teacher ❤
I was taught use 2:1 (water/liquid to rice), turn it to low, don’t lift the lid until the water completely dissolved and my rice cooking has never been the same! Lol Hope that helps 🥰
@@Shala1380 I use this method & sometimes it’s good & sometimes it comes out raw OR too mushy. Do you wash your rice? Do you fry it in oil? Also, when do you add salt?
Wish my mom was this patient with me growing up. She was never patient for anything and would constantly yell or hit. Didn’t make my life any better considering I also have neurological disabilities and disorders. I absolutely adore this video so much. Always a good thing to have patience 💗💗💗😭🫶🏾
Jollof is a bit different than Mexican rice, which I eat often. Everybody down my way always includes fresh, frozen or canned vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans, etc.). Jollof rice is more complex as a roux is needed. (If I'm not mistaken).
That doesn't look like Basmati rice and in regular rice we do add water double the amount of rice. Mexican rice looks similar to Indian rice that's why I am comparing (I have no idea of the sticky rice that East Asian eat). We cook it daily and any mom will say the same. Also if the rice is new (means fresh harvested) then it needs a little less water & if it's old a lil more water.
@@TheEMC99it’s not! This is similar to how my mom taught me to make the same rice dish and it comes out perfectly all the time. The main difference in her recipe is that instead of just adding 4 cups of water we add that to the sauce itself. It’s just regular long grain rice and I’ve noticed if you use less it comes out dry.
I wish my mom bad taught me like this. She made me feel like I couldn't learn anything in the kitchen and wasnt welcome there. Watching this is so nice to see I love how other parents care for their children!
I always transfer it to a rice cooker before adding my water when I make a Mexican rice or pilaf, it’s a lot easier to eyeball the right ratio, plus it automatically stops cooking when the rice is done! ❤
This is great! As mex girl u grow up either watching n expect to learn ur self but I understand now I would want to teach my daughter to set her up good ! And as she grows she grows up with more confidence!
Yes confidence n learning to cook is good. Now teach them young girls about birth control Not every young girl needs to pop them out at 15 years old break the cycle now. That’s something to teach them 🤷🏻♀️
@@teekay698still, pans can be replaced. I get they're pricey, but you can't expect someone new to something to get it right, as long as they're not being malicious no need to get angry

So glad to hear you kept her calm and kept going despite some mishaps. If I dropped the rice, my mom would have just taken over and I wouldn’t have learned anything. I finally learned to cook with kind instructions like this… from my partner, in my 20s 😅
My mom used to teach me how to cook by literally taking over. She had turned down the heat on my pan without telling me, slowing down what I was working on. She often had some criticism. I eventually resorted to never cooking around her and kicking her out of the kitchen or cooking my meals late jn the evening because I couldn't trust cooking around her. I ended up getting a cooking game for my Nintendo ds that helped teach me how to cook. I did things from my mom, but by watching her cook.
You’re an awesome mom. And it made me feel good about myself because that’s the same way I taught my girls. Hamburger helper way back when they were 4 yrs old. “The meat may jump and burn just a bit but it’ll be ok . Do you still want to try?” They always said yea and never freaked out if it did happen. Communication and trust. Am I right?! Lol
@@fernieferfernsometimes people just want to call them stepmother or step-whatever it isn’t a division nor anything sinister. It’s just a fact if you truly are a step-relative
I mean, you don’t know anything about their relationship or family dynamic. You don’t know how her step daughter feels or if there is an arrangement with the mom about having her on camera and how she refers to her. Maybe you should keep your judgement to yourself?
Honestly rice is my nightmare, and I can cook! Lol it's always hard or mushy no matter what, I think I made it good maybe 1 time out of like 50, would give anything to learn how to get it right!
I’m grateful that my mom had me cooking since I was 5 years old. I still remember the time we had to ground meat with a clever just chopping away😂. She was still very traditional at that time saying in her country she was already helping her parents sell items and climbing a coconut tree. Nowadays it’s different especially with my younger siblings who basically get spoiled and are more so into games and social media
If anyone can help me I’d appreciate it. I see all these recipes for Mexican rice but the #1 thing I see is a gas stovetop. What about the electric stoves/ovens? I feel like the “low” setting hardly has any heat and the true summer is like 2-3 but i cannot figure out how to make Mexican rice right! It’s either crunchy after 30 minutes and then I add water to fix it and then it’s overdone and mushy.
I haven’t had a working stove in over three years so I use a plug-in skillet and I’m having the same problem. I’m commenting because I’d also like an answer to this if someone has one
I have an electric stove and I always cook my rice like this. 2 cups basmati or jasmine rice washed and fried. Then I put 3.5 cups of water, a little tomato paste or a few tomatoes in the blender with a little water, and then all the spices and seasonings. I turn the heat all the way up to 9, then when it starts to boil I put the lid and turn it down to 3. I cook for 15 minutes and then fluff with a fork. And I keep the lid on until i serve it. The large burners on my stove are broken so I use the small burners and a saucepan that’s maybe like an inch or two wider than the burner. I hope this helps you 😊😊
I usually start over if it's crunchy because it comes out mushy if I add water again after it's already been cooking. I get that people can't redo it because it's wasteful, but I'd rather my family eat what tastes good and it's gonna be wasted anyway if they don't like it. Add extra water in the beginning so that you don't steam it by taking the lid off which will make it mushy no matter what you do.
When I baked my first hamburger I burnt it, ironically because I was looking for the timer. But my parents were easy on me as well. My dad is a great and passionate hobby cook. I learnt most what I know and my cooking style from him. 12 years after the burnt hamburger I am following my dad's footsteps. I love cooking dishes from all over the world. I love bein surrounded by flavor and sharing my dishes with my friends, family and partner. It's so satisfying to enjoy what I made together with those I love.
We make our Mexican rice super different. We do fry our rice but while we fry it we blend onion tomatoes garlic with water and a mixture of tomato and chicken bullion or if we have caldo de pollo on hand we use that with some tomato bullion. When it’s super blended and the rice is nicely fried we add the liquid to the pot with the rice and let cook.
This is the right way to teach the young ones how to cook. My grandmother had me make an entire dinner via telephone once when I was probably 11 or 12 and it’s my earliest and most favorite cooking memory.
That looks like nice rice for her first attempt. My mom just told me to measure a cup of rice and then told me to fill a cup(a drinking cup) for water. Like literally no measurement for water, that's how she cooks it. Her rice is edible, but it's different everytime. A good teacher makes for a good students. Keep it up!
I learned cooking by watching my Grandma and Mom cooking i used to sit on the slab watching them how precisely and adequately they will do the stuff. And i just randomly started for it and it turned out great and now i cook much better than both of them😂
Egyptian rice is often also fried first, but I've never seen anyone put onions in with it. I usually fry it for a minute, add water and seasonings, boil 20 min, then pour in lemon juice and anything else I want, mix it up, and set it to the side to let it rest and the flavors meld. I do sometimes add dried fruit, usually raisins, at the very beginning.
You are wonderful thanks for the tip, I don’t have kids I’m 20 but my parents would be overly critical at times and it would definitely cause me to feel stupid
I remember the first three times I’ve made Mexican rice. The first time was two watery. Second time was too salty and the third time to dry. They are fun memories I like to tell my siblings when they try to cook. 😂
My dad likes to trick me into learning things. He'll do things in front of me and he knows I'll ask because I'm curious and he'll use it to teach me. Last night he asked me to help with dinner, but he was really teaching me how to fry chicken. I got them dredged and battered, and I asked myself since I had more than enough left, if I should double batter them, and he said "that's up to you, son." He knew it would be a good idea, he just wanted me to learn for myself. Love my dad.
Teaching your kids to cook is so important. It's a lifelong skill. Thousand years ago when I was in school they actually had cooking classes that everybody was required to take the girls and the boys. But they don't do that anymore.
@@susanb5058 I remember baking, something, making jam, and cooking some kind of meat, but I can’t remember what it was. That was a long time ago. Everybody was also required to take sewing, wood shop, and metal shop. and they even had a basics auto mechanics class. That wouldn’t happen today. Of course all the cars today you can’t work on yourself so…
@@nogames8982 yes! We had some of those too! Funny to think of those today. They need to teach some real life skills in schools nowadays that everyone needs such as finances/budgeting and nutrition in my opinion!
@@susanb5058 I agree. Basically all they teach now is whatever the kids need to pass the tests so the school can keep getting government money. We actually had a class our senior year of high school called life skills. It was great.
It’s always interesting seeing other people make Mexican rice differently from each other. Like in my family you don’t wash the rice. You fill the pot or pan with a decent amount of oil not overly or underly then put about a cup of rice in then wait till it’s a golden color. Then we add tomato sauce handmade or can which we fry the rice in again then add water, chicken bouillon, salt, and sometimes cumin. We let it cook on medium-low heat with cover on for about 20mins the. Remove the cover to low heat to allow the water to evaporate. After that the rice is done. It’s the way my grandmother has made it for her lifetime she’s been making it and she used to make handmade corn tortillas from scratch like actually drying out corn to shuck and stuff.
Good job mama. My daughter always practice with me now she can make easy breakfast lunch and dinner. She is only 9. It’s is very important to let them learn some life lessons. ❤❤❤
I would eat that whole pan of rice right now 🤤😍 Sounds and looks amazing! I don't mind it slightly gooey either, it can happen to the best of us and its better gooey than under cooked 😎🙌
Better than my first attempt will be! But I'm saving this and I'm going to try to make this!!! My kiddo and I both LOVE this type of rice, but I've yet to find a "Spanish rice" in the grocery store that even comes a teensy bit close to what our local authentic Mexican restaurant has to offer! I hope I'm able to make this and surprise my kiddo 🥰😍

@@fernieferfernsometimes people just want to call them stepmother or step-whatever it isn’t a division nor anything sinister. It’s just a fact if you truly are a step-relative
I mean, you don’t know anything about their relationship or family dynamic. You don’t know how her step daughter feels or if there is an arrangement with the mom about having her on camera and how she refers to her. Maybe you should keep your judgement to yourself?
Good thing it isn't about you or your family.
@@fernieferfernbecause she is her stepdaughter. Why does the truth bother you?
That’s right your preference making up problems seem to your best traits, knock it off she sounds loving but clearly that’s not enough for You.
I think Spanish rice tastes 1000% better with fresh tomatoes.
Great job from the teacher and the student!
This could be a series. Idk why but that little advice at the beginning was very helpful to me. ❤
❤❤❤ Spanish rice. Congratulations she wants to learn how to make rice. Now that'd good she wants to learn. 😊😊😊😊 Yes it's okay
Honestly rice is my nightmare, and I can cook! Lol it's always hard or mushy no matter what, I think I made it good maybe 1 time out of like 50, would give anything to learn how to get it right!
If she’s up for it, More videos like this please 🙏🏾
Damn, way better than my rice!! Need to up my game...
I’m grateful that my mom had me cooking since I was 5 years old. I still remember the time we had to ground meat with a clever just chopping away😂. She was still very traditional at that time saying in her country she was already helping her parents sell items and climbing a coconut tree. Nowadays it’s different especially with my younger siblings who basically get spoiled and are more so into games and social media
Love how supportive you were! ♡ good job!
Love parents like this 😭
Especially Mothers ❤
Remember to wash the rice with warm water a couple of times to remove the starch as much as posible. She did great ✨✨
U right
Can you post a video on how you do it?? What did u put in the tomatoe sauce?
That’s great advice really seems simple but it’s actually really hard to be easy on them but I keep constantly reminding myself throughout lol
If it's edible and almost on point then that is absolutely a win for them. Making the attempt is all that matters for this kind of stuff
Is nobody going to talk about how the lady in the back shook her ass in the boy’s face?
Wtf ?
😂😂😂 I thought you were tripping until I went back rewatched the video!!
Lmfao my nephew who is 2 ,actually bumps into his grandmas ass on purpose and laughs. Guess they think it’s a airbag😂😂
If anyone can help me I’d appreciate it. I see all these recipes for Mexican rice but the #1 thing I see is a gas stovetop. What about the electric stoves/ovens? I feel like the “low” setting hardly has any heat and the true summer is like 2-3 but i cannot figure out how to make Mexican rice right! It’s either crunchy after 30 minutes and then I add water to fix it and then it’s overdone and mushy.
I haven’t had a working stove in over three years so I use a plug-in skillet and I’m having the same problem. I’m commenting because I’d also like an answer to this if someone has one
I have an electric stove and I always cook my rice like this. 2 cups basmati or jasmine rice washed and fried. Then I put 3.5 cups of water, a little tomato paste or a few tomatoes in the blender with a little water, and then all the spices and seasonings. I turn the heat all the way up to 9, then when it starts to boil I put the lid and turn it down to 3. I cook for 15 minutes and then fluff with a fork. And I keep the lid on until i serve it. The large burners on my stove are broken so I use the small burners and a saucepan that’s maybe like an inch or two wider than the burner. I hope this helps you 😊😊
@@Maudpie666 thank you SOOO much!! I’m going to screenshot this and try that exactly 🫶😊
I usually start over if it's crunchy because it comes out mushy if I add water again after it's already been cooking. I get that people can't redo it because it's wasteful, but I'd rather my family eat what tastes good and it's gonna be wasted anyway if they don't like it. Add extra water in the beginning so that you don't steam it by taking the lid off which will make it mushy no matter what you do.
Why do you have to wash the rice first if it boils in the water anyway? Looks so good.
Mixecan rice’s nice.
My Saudi Mom thank you for teaching me with patient and kindness❤
Thanks GOD First 🥹
Yay she’ll get it the next time ❤looks good ❤
I love the fact that she is her step daughter and she is still very caring and understanding
When I baked my first hamburger I burnt it, ironically because I was looking for the timer. But my parents were easy on me as well. My dad is a great and passionate hobby cook. I learnt most what I know and my cooking style from him. 12 years after the burnt hamburger I am following my dad's footsteps. I love cooking dishes from all over the world. I love bein surrounded by flavor and sharing my dishes with my friends, family and partner. It's so satisfying to enjoy what I made together with those I love.
We make our Mexican rice super different. We do fry our rice but while we fry it we blend onion tomatoes garlic with water and a mixture of tomato and chicken bullion or if we have caldo de pollo on hand we use that with some tomato bullion. When it’s super blended and the rice is nicely fried we add the liquid to the pot with the rice and let cook.
Niiiice, really hood advise and encouragement! The rice looks delicious by the way. Im going to try this. Thank you! 🙏🏾🌟🙏🏾
This is the right way to teach the young ones how to cook. My grandmother had me make an entire dinner via telephone once when I was probably 11 or 12 and it’s my earliest and most favorite cooking memory.
she probably didn’t cook the rice in the oil long enough, but she did such and amazing job!
Aww mom, your doing an awesome job ! Kudos to you mom, and young lady trust me you’re doing great as well.
Looks delicious! You are awesome for being calm with her and putting her at ease. My Mami would yell at me for dropping the rice 😢😂
That looks great! 100 times better than my first time trying to cook rice lol, what a good job!
she did absolutely great
Title made me think she needed to learn how to cook unseasoned rice lol but learming a recipe from family is super wholesome and fun
The lid "shield" haha 😂 and her copying your pat was adorable
I love the fact you are teaching her and being patient
That looks like nice rice for her first attempt. My mom just told me to measure a cup of rice and then told me to fill a cup(a drinking cup) for water. Like literally no measurement for water, that's how she cooks it. Her rice is edible, but it's different everytime.
A good teacher makes for a good students. Keep it up!
I learned cooking by watching my Grandma and Mom cooking i used to sit on the slab watching them how precisely and adequately they will do the stuff. And i just randomly started for it and it turned out great and now i cook much better than both of them😂
You did so well on facilitating her learning progress!!
She did great! Now on to the next dish!🙏🏽💝👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Bless her ❤
Egyptian rice is often also fried first, but I've never seen anyone put onions in with it. I usually fry it for a minute, add water and seasonings, boil 20 min, then pour in lemon juice and anything else I want, mix it up, and set it to the side to let it rest and the flavors meld. I do sometimes add dried fruit, usually raisins, at the very beginning.
Good job to both of you! The rice looks delicious. ❤❤
You are wonderful thanks for the tip, I don’t have kids I’m 20 but my parents would be overly critical at times and it would definitely cause me to feel stupid
I remember the first three times I’ve made Mexican rice. The first time was two watery. Second time was too salty and the third time to dry. They are fun memories I like to tell my siblings when they try to cook. 😂
My dad likes to trick me into learning things. He'll do things in front of me and he knows I'll ask because I'm curious and he'll use it to teach me. Last night he asked me to help with dinner, but he was really teaching me how to fry chicken. I got them dredged and battered, and I asked myself since I had more than enough left, if I should double batter them, and he said "that's up to you, son." He knew it would be a good idea, he just wanted me to learn for myself. Love my dad.
Omg yesss, tell them, explain and articulate and answers questions but LET THEM DO IT SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY LEARN THEMSELVES 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Teaching your kids to cook is so important. It's a lifelong skill. Thousand years ago when I was in school they actually had cooking classes that everybody was required to take the girls and the boys. But they don't do that anymore.
You just reminded me of that when I was in school too! Except “cooking” was heating up canned stuff 😂
@@susanb5058 I remember baking, something, making jam, and cooking some kind of meat, but I can’t remember what it was. That was a long time ago. Everybody was also required to take sewing, wood shop, and metal shop. and they even had a basics auto mechanics class. That wouldn’t happen today. Of course all the cars today you can’t work on yourself so…
@@nogames8982 yes! We had some of those too! Funny to think of those today. They need to teach some real life skills in schools nowadays that everyone needs such as finances/budgeting and nutrition in my opinion!
@@susanb5058 I agree. Basically all they teach now is whatever the kids need to pass the tests so the school can keep getting government money. We actually had a class our senior year of high school called life skills. It was great.
It’s always interesting seeing other people make Mexican rice differently from each other. Like in my family you don’t wash the rice. You fill the pot or pan with a decent amount of oil not overly or underly then put about a cup of rice in then wait till it’s a golden color. Then we add tomato sauce handmade or can which we fry the rice in again then add water, chicken bouillon, salt, and sometimes cumin. We let it cook on medium-low heat with cover on for about 20mins the. Remove the cover to low heat to allow the water to evaporate. After that the rice is done. It’s the way my grandmother has made it for her lifetime she’s been making it and she used to make handmade corn tortillas from scratch like actually drying out corn to shuck and stuff.
Good job mama. My daughter always practice with me now she can make easy breakfast lunch and dinner. She is only 9. It’s is very important to let them learn some life lessons. ❤❤❤
She did really good 👍 👏
I’d eat all of it. Looks delicious!
Looks good. Love rice.
This is how they learn by practicing and cooking and eventually they will get it right. Good job!!😊
I would eat that whole pan of rice right now 🤤😍 Sounds and looks amazing! I don't mind it slightly gooey either, it can happen to the best of us and its better gooey than under cooked 😎🙌
Looks better than what I made the first time! kudos for your encouragement and for having patience on her!
Your so patient with her. That's cool.
Good job Raising her very well ......Some aren't taught anything
Better than my first attempt will be! But I'm saving this and I'm going to try to make this!!! My kiddo and I both LOVE this type of rice, but I've yet to find a "Spanish rice" in the grocery store that even comes a teensy bit close to what our local authentic Mexican restaurant has to offer! I hope I'm able to make this and surprise my kiddo 🥰😍
Great job. My daughter has been making us sour dough bread every few days it's her new favorite thing to make and we all love it
