      @@theworldisastage3425 doesn’t look like they were cooked ahead. From what I saw or understood, the Lentils were soaked 8 hours. The rice was rinsed 3 times to rid the extra starch. They were cooked when all were added to the pot.
      That’s my understanding but I could be wrong.

      A lot of UA-cam content creators seem to feel like they have to pull silly faces, speak very loudly, strike stupid poses, jump up and down, and otherwise create a clown show. It's really odd. I wonder if UA-cam encourages this in some sort of "tips for content creators" or something? I don't know.
      But yeah, it's refreshing when a content creator actually looks and sounds like a normal person.

    I truly appreciate the way you make your videos, Mr. Yeung; you don't talk constantly throughout, but just enough to help your viewers know what to do, and you speak so gently and quietly, with that lovely low key music in the background---well, for me it's like watching a beautifully choreographed dance, of sorts.
    Such a refreshing change from cooking videos where someone uses "flash and dazzle" techniques, along with almost nonstop talking, to keep their viewers engaged.
    You don't need any of that, and I appreciate it very much. Your beautiful, yet simple food presentation does the talking for you.

I followed your instructions to the letter, with the exception of substituting jasmine for basmati rice (only because I didn’t have the latter on hand. The result was perfection!

    The lentil and rice dish was great, I did it as the recipe which was delicious, but when I made it again I included a couple of additions, a tad of white miso and reduced the amount of veg stock bouillon, I’m in a miso phase and I buried a few frozen blocks of spinach, whilst the pot rested after cooking which added more colour and more nutrition, both ways are winners. I am really enjoying this new calming channel discovery 🙏 thank you.
