    If you’ve ever burned rice (without meaning to), this one’s for you. Cooking 101 is a new series where Sohla El-Waylly, author of "Start Here," walks you through techniques and tips for becoming a better, more informed cook. This episode is - you guessed it - all about rice. Long-grain, medium-grain, short-grain, parboiled, enriched, white, brown, pearled … so much rice, so little time. Watch to learn what it all means, including a demo of Sohla’s recipe for buttered pilaf.

      Honestly, if you want to cook rice just buy a rice cooker. They're cheap, they do a better job than the stovetop, and you don't have to baby the flame. Sohla's great, but there are much better fried rice videos out there. I assume the NYT required her to make a really basic middle america recipe.

    I would love to see a 2.0 video as well. For example, showing how to get super separated rice like you see, for instance, in Indian rice or Latin rice. I know in Latin rice, we often use a homemade wet seasoning mix with blended garlic, onion, scallion and salt, and we fry the rice with this seasoning and oil. This creates the super flavorful and separated rice you see in lots of South American cuisine.

And I don't cook them hard, as they will keep cooking after they've been added back to the dish. I also like the flavor of white pepper in my fried rice. A little goes a long way.

    What I was taught (back in the old country and cooking in a wood stove), when your rice is under cook is to grab a small piece of banana leaf (the size of the circumference of the pot), drench it with water and put it on top of the rice and cover. It always works. If you don't have banana leaves, damp a paper towel, and put it on top of the rice and cover it and continue to cook it. You can add pandan leaves too if you have some around.

    What a charming young lady. I really enjoyed this video and learned some things from it eve though I've been making rice for 40 years. Can't wait to add some yellow lentils, crispy shallots and cilantro chutney to my next batch of rice porridge. But I'm going to add a fried egg on top as well. 😉

    I rinse the starch off my rice in a fine mesh sieve because I hate dumping the water and accidentally dumping rice into my sink 😑 I will try soaking my rice though! I absolutely love basmati rice. I always cook my white rice for 25 minutes and let rest for 5-10 minutes. I’ll try cooking for less time because sometimes my rice comes out a little soft.

    It's rare to us to have a totally empty rice cooker pot after the dinner rush at the family restaurant, so there's always leftover rice either for the household to chow on at night, or turn into breakfast fare for the morning rush the following day. It almost always turns into fried rice of some sort.
    It's almost always seasoned with soy and fish sauce, and tossed with toasty garlic bits, tiny squares of thin omelet, and sliced hotdog circles fried to an almost crisp. Or simply just oil, rice, garlic and seasoning, depending on the protein and veggie dishes being served that morning.
    For the household, spam or diced Ma-ling (a brand of canned Chinese luncheon meat) is typical, although sliced hotdogs still remain supreme (lol). Frozen veggies make it there if we have it, and it's usually fried in a flavourful fat - bacon grease, longanisa fat, tocino fat with its caramelised drippings... It's a taste of childhood with every spoonful. XD

    For my fav pilaf I just dump a bunch of freezer "spaghetti" diced vegetables on top of the rice with some olive oil and chicken stock powder or BtB.
    Dead easy and so tasty.

    Sometimes I watch these cooking channels and the chefs use techniques that aren't accessible (like charring something on a gas stove) or ingredients that I would have difficulty sourcing and I've wished for a show to put chefs in the middle of a regular Midwest kitchen and shop at the local store. I've NEVER had any doubt that Sohla would be 100% unbothered and still make a perfect dish! I'm loving this basics series and well she communicates, it feels much more achievable to me. Especially the examples of how using sound will guide you when to move to the next step of the dish!
