I know this video is 5 years old but I made nearly perfect fried rice tonight because of it. So thank you!

Growing up living on Guam for 5 years we ate rice for almost every meal and we got good at making it. Rinsing makes such a huge difference in flavour.

The way I learned to do it is a hybrid of your recommendations. Use 1 part rice to 1 1/2 parts liquid. Bring water to roaring boil first, then add the rice, cover, and immediately reduce the heat to lowest setting leave alone for 15 minutes, then check a few grains to see if soft to liking, and check if water is remaining. If there is, cook for 5 mins longer, if rice was soft, without a cover, if it wasn’t soft enough yet, with a cover. Check again and repeat for up to 5 more minutes if needed. When done, fluff and cover to keep warm until ready to serve. I use this for all types of rice, including jasmine, and works well when cooking larger quantities but for smaller quantities, 2-4 servings, I’ve had to reduce the water slightly except for brown or wild rice.

You have a 200watt smile, woman. thanks for this, rice came out perfect!

Thank you for finally explaining this. I grew up in Thailand but we always used a rice cooker. I always impressed my friends with Thai recipes I grew up with but whenever I'm caught without a rice cooker it was a rice disaster!

This lady knows how to teach.. thanks Pai!

To anyone considering trying this, I used this method and it worked perfectly!

I think it's worth mentioning that the lid of the saucepan must be kept in place (ideally with a glass see-thru top) and one should resist lifting the lid until it's just about done (no observed movement).

Excellent presentation! You did answer every possible question. Bravo

The best instructions I have ever received about cooking rice.

Super helpful. This is the very best instruction I have found for cooking rice. Everything so quickly and logically explained. Thanks a lot Pailin.

Really great video!!! Thank you!! I have been cooking rice for years, and always get great results, but it is really interesting to see chefs cook the basics and check their method, as it reflects on their other dishes. I am now going to check out yor other recipes, as this was so thorough and explained everything! You are the tops for Thai cookery! Again, Thank you!

First time cooking rice and it came out so perfect!!! Will be using this method for the rest of my life thank you!

This is by far the best rice cooking video ever. You've explained everything thoroughly. Thank you. Btw, jasmine rice is also my favorite type plus I'm going to make fried rice soon. Thanks a lot..😄

I always learn so much from this chef. Wonderful recipes.

Cooking rice is truly a science. Loved this video! I've always believed that if you can cook perfect rice in a pot, then you are already an amazing cook!

Loved the step by step process, my rice came out really well and I loved it . Thank you

Watched this video, followed steps, and made THE BEST fried rice I've ever had!!!!!!

Pailin thank you for your knowledgable instructions I just wanted to know how to cook rice but I got so much more information

Thank you! It was very helpful because I always burn my rice cooking that way. I guess I had the heat to high & in a rush trying to get it cooked too.

Absolutely spot on.. first time i tried it this way instead of my usual way and it was perfect..👌I'll be using this method from now on.. many thanks 🙏

Wow thank you so much for making that SO easy! great energy and the tips are very helpful too!

This is how you cook rice! Dang it I was too pissed after seeing the lad from BBC make rice

My wife is Thai, and her family have a rice farm North East Thailand (Ratanabury), she cooks this rice straight after just one hand wash, and it comes out sticky, just the way she likes it. I cook my rice just the way you do, but I am 'not allowed' to cook it that way in front of her, or for her:)) Geez! She is a bossy Thai, for sure, but I love her:)

Perfect. I love jasmine rice. Thai's have perfected the process. The International Rice and Research Institute in Los Banos Philippines had a lot of Thai scientists and that continued education helped them produce some of the best rice in the world.

Thank you so much! I'm out of town right now and forgot to pack my rice cooker! First world problems 😅 Luckily our room has a kitchenette and I'm going into withdrawal without rice! Also wanted to add (just in case anyone is interested), another method is to steam the rice. Many traditional asian methods use a woven bamboo basket and I swear it is the best way to get the most amazing aroma with jasmine rice!

Thank you for such a nice video, and taking the mystery out of cooking rice perfectly! And you have such a great personality and million-dollar smile! 🤩

My Chinese friends taught me that the layer of water over the rice should be up to the first knuckle of my index finger. Always works for me. For "Asian" dishes I mainly use Basmati or Jasmin rice. However, I found that Persian long grain rice (Sadri) is the best, though not cheap and not always available. What should be mentioned is: DON'T USE PARBOILED RICE EVER. Seriously.

Now I know what I’ve been doing wrong this whole time. Thanks!!!

I made some jasmine rice today and it came out perfect! I have never tasted jasmine rice in my life and it is delicious!

I’m so proud that most people from Hawaii have rice cookers and would know what to do if the rice cooker breaks. The amount of water you are taught when you are young is marked in your mind on your middle finger from experience. The person teaching you would would set the mark by adding the APPROPRIATE amounts of water after washing using their personal imaginary mark on their middle finger: from the top of the rice (leveled) in the pot of rice and water to that mark on their finger. You would then touch the tip of your middle and remember forever the water level in pot in relation to your middle finger. Easy- The cooking process is BOIL at high heat till water is almost evaporated without cover and STEAM by covering and turn to low low heat. Easy- I’m not Asian but Hawaiian ethnicity and so the jasmine smell and taste is foreign to me. My preference is Japanese rice which I believe is the best tasting rice. Aloha🌺

I just followed your instructions and my rice turned out perfectly! Thanks so much!

Finally got jasmin rice , I ordered mine!!

Thank you for this!! I've always had the problem of wet rice, I think it was a combination of not washing it enough, adding too much water, having the hob on too high, not putting the lid on and not cooking it for long enough. I did exactly what you said and my rice was perfect, woohoo!!

I seldomly cook jasmine rice much anymore. I grew to love Indian food and how their basmati rice grains all stayed apart from each grain and if cooked properly doesn't clump. I believe if most rice lovers would experiment with basmati rice they would much prefer. The two tricks I have learned to cook great rice stovetop are.... Get your pan very hot, add 2 tbsn oil and then add your raw washed rice to pan and toast your rice for 60 seconds then add your water and cook your rice accordingly. Also, once my rice is cooked and totally done, to prevent clumping, I try and get as much steam out of the rice quickly. I use a mesh screen I purchased to use when I fry foods it is a screen i use to prevent all the grease splatter. I lay this screen over top of any type bowl, spreading my rice out over the screen to allow air to enter from beneath the screen . i move the rice around stirring allowing steam to escape

Thanks for the affirmation. I've been cooking rice exactly this way for years and have had perfect rice every time. Also, in my opinion, Jasmine rice is, by far, the best and tastiest rice on the planet.

Ordinary white rice is good, but the aroma of Thai Jasmine rice is amazing.

Jasmine is my FAVE rice. Thanks for the tips.

I agree with the one pot situation. You retain the essence of the rice.

Pauline, what a refreshing cooking channel. I will look around to see what you have on your menu. Thanks for this.

Thankyou so much. I made the rice as you directed and it came out perfect. First time ever. 👌👌👌🖖 very appreciated🌻

For my jasmine rice method, I add the rice to the pot first. Then I wash/rinse the rice. Then I measure the amount of water with my index finger. Rest your index/pointer finger ☝🏽 in the middle of the rice *ontop of the rice, don’t push your finger into the rice*, and then when the water comes up to the first line on your index finger, that’s about the water you need. In the video when she stated old crop uses more water, and new crop uses less water. You gotta know and study the rice your cooking. In this case if I’m trying out a new brand of jasmine rice I usually go slightly under the line of my finger. That way, I can add more to my liking. Next step is I turn the heat on high add in a little salt and a few drops of oil or small dab of butter *i prefer oil* and let the water come up to a boil with the jasmine rice in the water already. When it comes up to a boil, I let most of the water evaporate. Not ALL, but a lot of the water. Basically when the water is just above the rice. Then I put aluminum foil over the pot *all my Jamaicans/Caribbean know bout this😌🇯🇲* and I lower the heat to a medium low and let it cook till the water is evaporated!! Works like a charm everytime. And if I need to add water I just add more. But the finger trick always does the job of me not having to!

My rice came out perfect thanks!

I have to accept the fact that we make rice differently yet come to the same result. Watching this has been humbling, but I'm sticking to what I know.

This is very helpful. I'm planning to make Katsudon and I hear jasmine rice is the best choice to use, so thanks for this.

I think I would call steamers the be best for beginners, it's very simple without really having much to "learn", as long as you follow the couple of steps, it's foolproof. People the Mid-East, India, Asia, the Pacific Islands have been making excellent rice using the pot and water method for many centuries. Her tips aren't just for beginners, I've seen many people struggling to get consistent results for many years with the pot method. Most people with older family members from the traditional cultures of the regions I mentioned, have no problem making perfect rice because the pot method has been handed down and seems perfect normal and easy to them. I learned from my Asian grandma must of made rice for my siblings and I, many thousands of time, she has been gone many years, but we will never forget her making rice all the time, I think of her with lots of love all the time. I don't need to waste kitchen space (I have too much in cooking gear already) on a rice steamer.

I’ve always thought it was one part rice to 2 parts water as in 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. That’s what it says on all the bags of rice. I’m not even mentioning the extra quarter cup.

If you didn't throw it out already, make sure the heating element on your rice cooker is clean, cos apparently that affects its temperature-sensing ability, and may well be why it's burning your rice!

After you finish simmering for 10 min on the lowest heat, turn off the heat and let the pit sit on the burner for another 5 before removing it
