I did it this morning. I gave it a few extra minutes on the steamer. Lemme me tell you, GURLLLLL. And there was no pot to clean, no burnt bottom, no starch water boil over. It was glorious!
Finally! Goodness, this is so sensible. I only need rice for myself. When cooking that small amount, it is easy to burn or be soggy. Thank you, so, so, much!
I just tried this and it came out perfectly! I think I will retire my rice cooker as this is a much better way. Thanks for the video and best wishes from this 78 year old bachelor! ( Also, no sticking or burning dry like in my rice cooker...no pot to clean up...just fluffy tender perfect rice. The extra prep time is so well worth the result! Thanks again!)
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 but using a steamer or stovetop pressure cooker means one or two fewer pots or dishes to store and clean. When the heating element or wires in the instant pot or rice cooker go bad, the entire product is trash. But, this is not so with a pressure cooker or steamer pot. I feel the same way about electric kettles and coffee makers - they are a waste of money and space - just another gimmick to separate you from your money.
So nice! Every comment is a happy joyous comment! So happy to see so many people you made happy! And yes, I lovvved this myself. Because I believe that steaming is far far healthier way to eat rice. Thank you so much!
OMG!!! My rice just came out exactly like my local carry-out’s. Chewy but not mushy. Fluffy, yet firm. The texture is sooo perfect! THANK YOU!!!!! This is the only way I’m cooking my rice from now on!
I have the steamer which I have never used. Now for the bowls👍 Addendum; I’ve used the small bowls that I have. Now that I know what quantities of rice to water, I am using this fabulous way to make rice. No longer am I getting wet or underdone rice. Thank you so much for uploading ❤
@creamscalago8683 I think you need to soak and steam the rice longer. Since its harder for brown and black rice to be fully cooked. But I've never tried it before so I can't guarantee anything
Today I tried your method to cook rice. Thank you so much. Rice were fluffy and each grain was separate. Now I will always use this easy effective method. Do share your other methoda.
I just made rice using this method and using short grain rice (I always boil the long grain/Basmati rice). The end result was the most perfect rice I’ve ever made, whether in a pot or a rice cooker! I couldn’t believe the results: lots of separate grains of rice (no clumping) and great al dente texture. I’ll never cook short grain rice by any other method again. Thanks for the video!
I’ve been searching online or even here on youtube how to steam rice,I’ve never found one that I like untill this video. Kudos to the uploader who share her ways to steam rice I cook rice on stovetop a lot cause I dont like the taste of rice in a rice cooker. Thank You so Much this is a keeper. I cook mine for 30mins sameway I cook rice in a stovetop.
I use this item at least 1-2x a week ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQJTPaJo-WI_mBKJOtoUVgCf0fPy2Wh90 Everything except the base is dishwasher safe, which makes for easy clean-up. If it finishes cooking the rice before you're ready to serve it, I recommend tossing in a small amount of water (especially if you're cooking the least amount possible) to prevent the rice at the bottom from drying out. The vegetable steamer feels a bit like a hit or miss with cooking times, and sometimes the color from the vegetables leaks down onto the rice. So, I prefer to steam my vegetables separately. Overall, great item for the cost. I've been using mine for over 8 months and am VERY happy with it!
I just tried this today! It made some of the best rice I have ever had! Here are my tips... After you put on the top portion of the steamer, you may need to reduce the heat on your stove, as the water will start boiling even more. Also, don't use a glass bowl... I tried to and the bowl broke practically in half. I thought it would be ok, but stick to porcelain I guess.
I have never heard of his before! I found this video while trying to figure out how to use my new steamer. I can't wait to try out this new to me technique. Thank you for this great tutorial.
@@Billyb0b557 I've only ever cooked it in a pot on the stove top. It comes out either A) great, B) mushy, C) hard and over done or not done enough. Even if I do exactly the same thing every time. I also microwave precooked frozen rice sometimes. But this looks like a fool proof method, with easy clean up.
You can also freeze any uneaten rice. Just microwave it to reheat it, although you may need to sprinkle some water on it before heating it to 'freshen' it up a bit, so it resteams as it heats. I buy already prepared rice with vegetables, that are frozen and cook in the bag in the microwave, for when I'm not in the mood to cook, just heat and serve. I'm sure this method is a nicer and safer way to eat rice as no plastic is involved.
Yes! This is what I’ve been looking for! after 15 years trying to cook rice, I still haven’t had any success with the hybrid Boil/Steam method. I tried this last night and it was PERFECT! My steamer doesn’t work on the induction cooktop in my new apartment, so I put a large sauce pot on the stove with a metal trivet. That pot doesn’t have a tight lid, so I used foil and a lid from a different pan. Next time I will use stacking pans inside of the instant pot. Thanks! I’m going to check out more videos. I want to learn how to weave banana leaves to make pouches for steaming rice like I saw in Singapore.
I have steamed white, brown, five grain, ten grain rice before. In the end I still prefer high tech electric rice cooker just because full grain rice can use a lot of time and gas. I think steaming is good for soft white rice or glutinous rice.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I like it very much and I will try it out as I do it the old-fashioned way learning from my mother I was born in Indonesia. Thank you.
I just tried this with 3/4 cups of Thai Jasmine rice. I used a Cuisinart 2.5 litre pot with a steamer and lid, steamed for 22 minutes, let stand for 10 minutes, and the results were almost perfect. Fluffy, a little clumpy, and the grains came out firm and whole. A few adjustments with my timing and technique, and it'll be ideal. My first go at this method was very impressive - it's the best way to make restaurant-quality steamed rice at home. By far.
@@TURTLEORIGINAL As I said in my comment, it needed "A few adjustments with my timing and technique." So I 'decided' to lightly grease the rice bowl with margarine, and add about a teaspoon of melted margarine to the salted rice water. I 'decided' that my rice-to-liquid ratio should be 1:1, and I 'decided' to steam for 22 minutes, let stand for 10. This produced grains that were firm, whole, and separate. The margarine also added flavour, and the rice didn't stick to the steaming bowl. I've made steamed rice this way twice since posting two weeks ago. The second batch came out just like the first, which is what I want. It's now my preferred way, coz it looks better, and it tastes better.
that's a lot of Kitchenware to clean for not so many rice 😆 Awesome Cooking Technique though, i tried it and it was the best rice! fluffy and it doesn't cake up after a few hours
I have never seen rice cooked this way before. Many thanks for sharing this technique. Could we add a touch of salt and a drizle of oil to the bowl of rice before cooking? also would this method, i wonder, work for short grain rice too? thanks again
Yes you can. Rice has to be soak for 10 mins. With oil it has a coating and oil like coconut milk will not penetrate through properly. Very often nasi lemak rice has hard center due to not soaking long enough. Add salt last before steaming. We cook rice porridge with salt soaking as the penetrated salt molecules breaks up the rice texture
Metric system people (like me): I'd probably go with 100 gr rice (measured before rinsing) and 100 gr of water. The rinsing of the rice would add that little extra water. And I would let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes after the 20 minutes of steaming. But thats just me.
Thats a great ratio if you're making fried rice but it could be a little dry for other applications. I like 1 to 1.15 ratio by weight, or 1 to 1 for fried rice
I tried this method in my electric steamer and, even though I turned it on beforehand to produce steam by the time I placed the bowl with presoaked rice and water into it, the rice wasn't ready in 20min of steaming and 5min resting covered. For some reason, electric steamer needs more time (its instruction booklet says 30min minimum, i.e. for one cup of dry rice, no presoaking) or else the grains at the bottom of the bowl stay undercooked inside and ugly mushy outside. The rice grains in the top half of the bowl were perfectly cooked, though. Next, I will try this method as you do, steaming over the pot of boiling water, to confirm that it is indeed my electric steamer that fails to steam it to doneness in 20min.
Steam rice is so much better because it's hard to get it wrong. Whereas the boiled rice one you can potentially overcook the rice or undercook depending on water level.

Used this method. Results: Perfect rice. 150 gm of rice to 188 ml of water. Beautiful. Thank you so much for this recipe.
188ml ... love it
In summer, use 2ml more
Finally! Goodness, this is so sensible. I only need rice for myself. When cooking that small amount, it is easy to burn or be soggy. Thank you, so, so, much!
