Lemon or lime it doesn’t matter as long as it’s lemon. 🤔
that cracked me up good
Right, but we know what she means 😊
Lmao was about to write this exact thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol. Or like why is Brazilian lemonade that is made with limes called lemonade?
@@kluv70because lemon and lime are the same in their language
To clarify what she meant by "lime or lemon it doesnt matter as long as its lemon" in spanish the word " limón" is used for both limes and lemons. Its only specified in english. Go with your heart 😌 or just use lemon cause she used it 😂😂😅
It’s a matter of preference. I prefer using limes. 😊✌🏼
Incorrect. There’s a spanish word for both Limes AND Lemons. It’s not just 1 word used for both. Please educate yourself.
@@elias378 Limes = Limas and Lemons = Limones. However, in several parts of Mexico, people say “limones” when referring to limes.
@@kneeldah68 That’s just uneducated people. I don’t think we should be modeling language after people who don’t know any better.
@@elias378 people are just raised different. She’s just sharing the way she makes rice and saying it the way she knows. She’s not harming anyone. ✌🏼
Constantly stirring the pot?!
M'am I was born for this😌
Create chaos 🌺
Clever
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
😂😅😂😅😂😅 CHAOS AND ANARCHY
😂😂😂😂
It’s so interesting to see different cultures having almost the same dish with different names. I’m Egyptian and we make this rice also with tomato sauce, onions and lots of spices (all varies according to different family traditions and preference ofc) but ours is made with short-grained rice instead. It’s typically served with fish and seafood in general and it’s incredibly delicious!
In west Africa its called jollof rice😊 our cultures ate so diffent yet so similar at the same time 🫶🏾
Because people aren't really different, they do the same things/patterns, different regions just become different ingredients. We're all very much alike.
" add a lime juice or lemon juice it doesn't matter as long as it's lemon." I guess it does matter😂😂😅
Yet she means it in Spanish and either is limon and that’s what she’s really saying!!
Wykyk
Limon!
😂
I think she refers to the acid, it helps brake down the rice protein and starch and makes it tender and not mushy😊 you can also add 1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar
As an Asian lady who uses a rice cooker: I AM FASCINATED. I can’t wait to try this! Thank you!
@@espon2112 the different way that this rice is cooked i think
Same. Asian over here too.
@@espon2112 what...?
I’m a rice girl, can eat it everyday enjoy recipes from all cultures.
2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice...right?
En México no usamos limón en la receta 🇲🇽. Molemos el ajo y la cebolla en la licuadora y usamos el tomate fresco. Pero le quedó entero el arroz eso es genial!
Y si guisa uno el chile con el arroz... más sabroso aún.
You speak for ALL of Mexico?
@@nathanrspainDoes she? Cause this is American Mexican rice not Mexican arroz. Nunca e ido a Mexico y/o ver ninguna gente o persona de mi familia que usen latas o le pongan limon pero igual no e visto a TODO Mexico o conozco a muchas familias, pero la mayoría no haría esto.
@@jaimemoralacreacion Mexico is part of America. There's all types of different ways they make Spanish rice in Mexico. Arroz a la Mexicana, arroz Mexicano, arroz rojo, sopa de arroz whatever it's called usually has a lot of good seasonings and I've had it with all kinds of different ingredients, lime cilantro, cinnamon, cumin, adobo. It's not like you can really go wrong. But the best rice in Mexico City is at Asian Bay 😂.
@@nathanrspainno it isn’t, stop being obnoxious, America is known to refer to the US. Stop with that continent shit.
Little tip for the tomato paste not to dry or mold that quick : add a tea spoon of olive oil on the top of the paste
I always freeze mine.
I add garlic while it's still frying. I also dice the onion because i need it in every bite. 😊
Onion, garlic, bell pepper.
Thats just what i was thinking as i whatched it.
Gotta throw some bell pepper strips and sliced jalapeños raw up in the mix! Whooohooo jajajaj-from South Texas
Don’t forget the Cumin, Texas
I've seem thos and cooked it like this as well only difference. I used a bit olive oil with the garlic.
This is exactly how I cook my Spanish rice. I used to have a Mexican neighbor that did not know how to bake and I did not know how to cook so we traded off... once a week we would teach each other how to cook something. That's been almost 20 years and I still make rice the way she taught me 😊
Amazing❤
This is not "Spanish rice" this is Mexican rice. Real "Spanish rice" is ALWAYS cooked with Saffron.
That's a lovely relationship 🙂
thats so freakin cool
Does it matter what kind of rice? :)
Looks so good. Rice is my favorite food
You can also blend some onion in the tomato paste for a stronger onion flavor
That’s usually what I do. 😅 flavor town
@@Gerard0hhTHAT is gangster
Yeah, I blend fresh tomatoes with onion and garlic and it comes out so good.
I need to try it. I love taste of onion in dishes, but hate its texture.
Love freezing leftover tomato paste in little silicone molds. So convenient and never goes to waste!
Good idea!!
Fantastic idea!!
I do this too!
Wow what a hack. I never get to use all mine before it goes back, ty so much!
That looks absolutely fire.
Me 🎉encanta cuando dices listo y disfrútalo
I actually fry it with onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin ❤ try it taste bomb 😊
My mexican moms go to spices 🤣
I don't fry it with that but I add it when I add the chicken stock!
That's some Tex-Mex rice
That's how I make it. Then again every family has their own recipes. It sure is fun to see how others make the same recipe different ways from different countries!
No cumin ew wtf
This looks very similar to African Jallof Rice 😊
Jellofe is amazing
Not really we fry the tomatoes first and add parboiled rice
@@sunshinecrochetsdepends on which country's jellof rice. My family is from Ghana and we never use precooked rice. It just differs 😊
@@IceMaidenxx3 wow okay, I'm Nigerian tho
People are just being difficult! You made it clear that it “looks”. Like west African jolloff not that it is made the same way. I agree with you it looks very similar 😊.
mexican food is so flavorful
So this what the *"Perfect Mexican"* tastes like ☺️🤤💕
Minus the lime/lemon, this is how I make mine. 😊
Same. I also dice the garlic, onion and add cominos (cumin powder) and salt.
This was one of my favorite dishes that my mom made for me as a kid. She used bacon grease to fry the rice and it always came out so perfect
Ohh baby yess that bacon fat changes the game !!! ❤❤yummm ima try with beef bacon grease 😂
Eww
Good idea!! I will make some tomorrow.
@@elias378 you mustve never had it
@@caprisun6910 nope cause it’s nasty and vile
I love mexican rice. Must try this soon!
Mexican perfection
Can't wait to make this tomorrow with my carne asada 😊 gracias.
This is very similar to the rice us Egyptians put into our rolled grape leaves! Looks good
I had similar in Tunisia, I'm not a fan of the taste of the leaves but the stuffing was beautiful.
That sounds like heaven!
That's why it's not mexican
@@Natasha___., yeah those leaves are an acquired taste! I find Collard greens 🥬 leave works for me! I steams them for a while to make them pliable! Sprinkle them with salt & pepper before adding the stuffing and they taste great!
I actually think they taste better, but that’s my personal preference 😊
@@lametron Shut up. Mexicans have been cooking with tomatoes for thousands of years.
I'm black but I grew up making a rice dish very similar to this. I call it mushroom rice.
I brown the dry unwashed rice in butter or margarine for 5 mins with diced onion or until about half of the rice is browned just as shown in this video.
Then once I'm ready I add the chicken bouillon just as shown in this video and make sure it's evenly mixed with the rice and I also add a can of mushrooms sliced or diced. Any type of mushroom is OK. Bring to a rolling boil on high heat and then turn down low and cover until rice is cooked. Can top with green onion if desired.
Yummy.
Funny that the few times I have tried Mexican rice it hasn't turned out too well and now I see it's almost exactly the same as something that I been making since I was a kid. I will try again soon.
Rice MUST be washed 😂
@TheMariemarie16
Brown 1 cup of long grain rice, add 1 small can of Tomato sauce , 2 cups Chicken broth, , Garlic, onion, salt, pepper to taste, bring to a quick boil, lower heat to “simmer”, Set timer for 20 minutes , turn off heat, do not open lid, let sit for about 15 minutes, then serve 😊
Not similar at all.
@@athenafearon3853rice does not need to be washed 🙄
and probably where this recipe originated, the Spanish came to America with rice, onions and garlic and the Mexicans contributed the tomato, and it must be derived from the Spanish paella, the difference is the tomato, since at the beginning the Spanish did not eat tomato because they believed it was poisonous, until they learned from the natives
That “put it away in the fridge” reminded me of my mom lol
I made this recipe a few months ago and it was so good 😊❤
It’s reminds me of Nigerian jellof rice. Looks really good !!
Watching this as i am making jellof rice😂...and thinking how human beings all over the world one day woke up looked at rice and tomatoes and thought hmmm i wonder 😂😂😂😂
clearly in Mexico where the Spanish arrived with rice, onion and garlic and the Mexicans added tomato, and copied the paella recipe, but they removed the saffron and seafood
Mexican and Spanish rice IS Jollof Rice lol. Rice does not come from Europe or the New World. The Moors brought rice to the Iberian Peninsula and slaves brought rice to the New World by weaving grains into their hair (cornrows).
Inversely, tomatoes come from the New World and did not exist in Europe before they came to the “New World”. Now, you gotta ask yourself how Africans got their hands on tomatoes before the Europeans if Europeans allegedly discovered the “New World”.
I’ve never been able to make it taste restaurant style with just tomato past! It ends up tasting like tomato soup.
It’s all about the red Enchilada sauce or red taco sauce. Money
Give that a try ;)
Your Mexican red rice looks beautiful 😍❤️
Gotta have some sazón in there, looks yummy though, def my fav kind of rice to make
@lolfala101 you what?
It’s a Spanish seasoning similar to bouillon.😊
Perfect. Thats how my grandma taught me when i was 5. She would put a cube tomato stuff withe the chicken flavor too. Sorry. Idk how to spell boolyon. Phone wasnt helpin me! 😂😅😂
bouillon
This is anything but Mexican rice 🍚🌾
That rice looks so good
It's so fascinating how humans have so much similarities, I am Egyptian, my grandma makes this rice with a little bit of twist, she roasts the rice then adds fresh tomato juice and some chicken stock for falvor, she usually have some diced onions in the tomato sauce as well, my favorite ingredient is the eggs she breaks inside the rice while it is cooking, we don't eat runny yolks but it is on the softer side not hard.
Fun part is I don't think she even knows where mexico is.
BTW this recipe is really really old, new generations don't know much about it unfortunately.
i swear Mexican food is the best food on earth
Definitely at the top 👌❤️
And so are Cuban, Puerto Rican, Salvadorian, Greek, Thai, Indian....I love food😅
If it's "Mexican Rice" there's NO Lemon or Lime in it.
And the rice is toasted to a light brown then add minced onion and cook a minute longer.
Press a clove of garlic and stir in. Add chicken stock mixed with ½ teaspoon of Cumin, tomato sauce and Chicken flavor Knorr bouillon. You can add water if needed, bring to boil then cover and cook on low for 20 minutes. Turn off heat.
DO NOT UNCOVER OR STIR
and let sit for 15 minutes.
Perfectly cooked fluffy rice every time! 😊
Word!
Best Mexican red rice video I've seen so far.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
it would taste good even if you dont have the lime or lemon, my mother doesn't do it. and it tastes great.❤
add some toasted cumin and the garlic after combining in a molcajete, it's bomb~ (we make it nearly the same, save for the chile and lime)
Love mexican rice, it'll always be my fav. I like when my mom browns white onions with the rice and oil at the start ❤
This looks delicious
Thank you thank you! Love trying new recipes ! Looks absolutely delicious
I'm going to try this. I love all Hispanic rice and rice and beans dishes. I wish they made a festival with every Hispanic countries rice dishes so people could try them all and see the differences.
Cover your leftover tomato paste with oil and it will protect the surface and last way longer!
Freeze it.
Tgank you so much for finally explaining the process in such an intelligent, simple and comprehesive way!!!!!
Nota ✍️ El arroz se mirra muy rico !! Esta listooooo !!! 👌😋👌
Yum. I usually make mine with fresh tomatoes but this looks good too.😋
Mexican rice doesn’t have lemon that’s for plain white rice and what makes the best Mexican rice is to add sliced green pepper and onions, then you toast the spices like comino and garlic powder then the salsina, you can add peas and carrots frozen or chopped potatoes, anything you want the best 👍😋😋🌻
No, YOUR Mexican rice doesn’t have lemons
There are many different versions of Mexican Rice. So many regions, so many more versions.
We squeeze a little lemon juice after it's made and served on your plate, I've never seen lemon squeezed into the rice while cooking.
@@NoThankYouToo a lot of regions in Mexico don't put lemon on the rice........
@@NoThankYouToomost of them actually
My mom is from Michoacán the way we do it similar but we blend everything(tomatoes,cilantro,onion,garlic, and the Sazon packets.)and lime will actually make the rice a bit bitter while lime won’t.
Lime will make it more bitter, or lemon will?
This is one of my favorites. I use spicy V-8 juice instead of tomato paste. I put some cilantro in there right before I put the lid on to cook. It's so good.
That’s disgusting, v-8 juice? As a Mexican I am offended
@@Null_irobotdon't knock it til you try it
Seriously? V8 is primarily tomatoes with some celery and the spicy kind would probably be awesome in this rice. I want to know your measurements!
@@ashleyl2344 I'm telling you it's so good. I just eyeball it. Like for 1 cup of rice I use one of the small cans of juice and fill that can wrh water.
@@Null_irobot ... it's just tomato juice
at some grocery stores you can buy tomato paste in tubes instead of in the can! i keep mine in the fridge and it’s so nice not to waste any or end up with moldy tomato paste because i forgot about it.
This is the most beautiful rice I’ve ever seen ❤❤❤
Yea baby! That's how I make my rice
USE BOILING WATER. I spent literal months perfecting my grandmothers method of making rice and using boiling water is essential to preventing crunchy rice.
-add boiling water
-simmer ~20min
-turn heat off. Don't take the lid off.
- wait ~15min and your rice is ready 🥰
So for 2 cups of rice i should only add 1 cup of water ? 🤔
@@bonitacassidy2319for TWO cups of rice, you should use FOUR cups of water. Or I’ve seen some use THREE 1/2 cups of water and one can of tomato sauce
@@bonitacassidy2319 I was thinking SAME THING I've always known 1 cup rice 2 cups of water.
Stir only once to incorporate the ingredients then once it starts boiling cover and turn heat to low.
Simmer 20 minutes and DO NOT UNCOVER.
Turn off heat and let sit 15 minutes undisturbed still covered.
Perfect Rice every time! 😊
I never like to use tomato paste, just isnt the same, gotta use fresh tomato. Gotta also have the onions diced and garlic minced so it gets that umami flavor. And also i use the tomato and chicken bullion instead of just regular chicken bullion. And add a dash of cumin and some ground pepper. Best rice ever, especially with caldo de pollo.
Yuck don't ever put cumin in rice to strong taste like shyt only stupid people use that stuff
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Isn’t umami “taste” just Glutamate? You’re telling me that dicing and mincing creates the compound glutamate?
I don’t use either. All I add is the water with some chicken and tomato boullion
I make mine like yours, I tried so many recipes and what you described turns out the best.
Que ricoooo 😋 gracias por compartir 🙏 bendiciones
omg as an asian i had a panic attack after seeing u cook rice without a rice cooker but it looks so yummy at the end. i didnt know u could cook rice like that 😋
Hispanic jollof i like❤
Of course it’s the best in the world
@@Null_irobotit’s not the best
@@elias378 sorry YOU feel that way
@@Null_irobot A lot of people feel that way. Hopefully *YOU* always remember that
@@elias378 why are you on this page hating? Eww Go away
Mexican red rice is similar to west African Jollof Rice.
It's the other way around, in fact the Spanish came with paella, the Mexicans removed the saffron and seafood and added the 🍅
@@gabyontiveros7753 both are still similar to Jollof rice.
The Spanish adopted a rice dish could probably be jollof rice brought to Spain by the Moors. Paella is sort of a derivative of jollof rice. But making any kind of comparisons to jollof Rice on here is fighting words to some so be careful. It's hard not to see the connection the jollof rice a red rice dish made with tomatoes introduced buy the Moors to to the Spanish peninsula the who eventually sailed across the ocean and brought their recipe of rice and tomatoes to Mexico who then came up with their own twist. But this sentence may actually get me into some serious battles. It's just food people relax. Please don't kill me for that one time I used ketchup cuz I didn't have any tomatoes in the house.
“ essstooooooo” 😋 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks yummy and easy to cook will definitely try
I didn’t use the lemon. I added chicken bouillon, cumin and garlic powder
To the tomato paste mix. And I had to walk away for a sec so my rice got toasty. Used a jalapeño and it was a little to spicy for my littlest but was great for everyone else. So good!
instead of tomato paste I use el pato jalapeño sauce probably same as the pepper you used looks good
El Pato is the TRUUUTH!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love the "Duck Sauce" 😂❤
Omgosh! I’ve been wanting to learn to cook this! Tyvm!!!❤
That looks good!
Making this THANKS CHICKA 💯💯❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾😘😘
Limón de donde eres que te dijeron que el Arroz lleva Limón? Primera vez que escucho eso yo soy Mexicana y nunca habia mirado eso, no se de donde seas tu pero en fin ese es tu gusto, pero me sorprende esa idea la neta
Todo depende dónde vives. En varias partes de la frontera de Texas/México se usa el limón en el arroz. Yo nunca lo he comido así, pero si le agrego un poquito de limón a mi caldo de pollo (ó de res) con arroz! Delicioso! Yo también soy Mexicana. ☺️✌🏼
Mexico is much bigger than your little neighborhood. There are millions of different people who cook millions of different ways. Use your brain
Looks sooo good
I gotta make some of that i havent made any in a long time i grew up eating mexican rice which i love but got a little tired of eating it now im craving it that and some refried beans with cheese👍😄
What? But that’s what gives arroz the best flavor: toasting the heck outta it in plenty of oil. 😅 Beautifuuuuul!
Indeed
I toast mine too. I love the nutty flavor plus the onion and the slight sweet from the tomato
Bro your pfp scared the crap out of me wth 😭😭😭😭
@@breestone8978 fr? Did you enlarge it…Beautiful right? 😈
@@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea
I have never tasted a nutty flavor when I toast my rice. Do you add nuts to it?
Hey that’s how I make it but never used paste or lemon learning something new 😊
Cuz she adds more ingredient but I bet it taste nasty it’s all acid
@@tinktinkkks4209 it doesn’t taste “nasty” because she uses a small amount. It’s actually pretty good. You should try it before you knock it. ☺️✌🏼
She said she didn't have tomato sauce. But she could have used fresh tomatoes and an onion blended as the sauce. 😮
I love it lol “lime or lemon, doesn’t matter as long as it’s lemon”
That's the party rice every Mexican party you go to has it
The secret is adding the seeds from the lemons.
Why? Looking for knowledge
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAUTIFULLLLL ❤🥰
Definitely going to give this a try I love Mexican rice 😩 all kinds!
My mom makes this I can eat just rice on its own delicious looking rice now I want some
I dont toast my rice that dark but I think why people rice sticks its because the pan isn't hot enough and too much oil make it greasy. But for sure rinse the rice.
The oil Cooks into the rice so it doesn't get greasy. It gives the rice a really nice texture al dente
For 2 cups of rice how many cups of water ?
4
The tomato sauce counts as some of that liquid though
Right, she goofed when she said that. Lol! It should be for every 1 cup of rice, add 2 cups of water. 😊
My grandmother taught me how to cook and she told me no matter how much rice you’re cooking always put enough water in to cover the rice and use you index finger and fill enough water to come up to the first knuckle while touching the top of the rice. It always works for me, doesn’t matter what kind of pot or pan you’re using first knuckle while barely touching the top of the rice.
A little toast on your rice is the secret sauce 😋
Thank you Queen for showing me how to cook rice
Latinas truly know how to cook.
gonna save this vid and make because i got tons of leftover rice i need to use
That looks so good
As a Latina, trust this recipe guys it’s a great one!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Then add a can of Rotel
Wow that’s does sound good!👍

@@elias378Hello Nice to meet you Please Explain your comment
You know I was scrolling through your comments and I saw some just wanting to critique you for every little thing, and I just want to say way to keep on going! Your videos are so much fun to watch and your passion behind preparing these meals for your family is wonderful. I love that your able to share a valuable skill to us all, and representing mexican women and motherhood to the fullest.
Thanks for that!
That's how it always is on cooking vids. Everyone thinks their way is better.
Looks hella good
Looks delicious ❤
What brand rice do you use
Always use long grain rice
Jasmine rice comes out great. You can also use long grain.
Lime juice or lemon juice it doesn't matter,as long as it's lemon
"or you'll toast the rice".
Goes ahead and toasts the rice.
Omg the tomato 🍅 paste to sauce trick is a life hack 🔥
We call it Jollof rice where I come from❤
Don’t know why because it’s not Jollof Rice🤨
Lol it really isn’t
*cries in uncle roger*
Thanks for this. I'm going to try making this today!
That looks soooo good.
If ya want you can also just blend together the paste, boiled tomato, onion and garlic together. Also u can cook it longer a dryer variation.
