I’m a Filipino and this method works most of the time with average amount rice in regular pots. However, if you only have to cook one cup of rice and with that finger method, that’s gonna be too much water. Or if 10 cups of rice with that method, it’s too little water. And also not all rice are equal, some are more tender and some are harder. It’s a hit and miss for a few times. Going back to the average type of rice you can buy, the amount of rice and water should be the equal using the finger method. Shove your finger down to the bottom of the pot, measure the level of rice with your finger, then match the water level.

In China, rice is cheap. In restaurants people dont eat them too soon. It doesnt get put on your table immediately. You eat all kinds of food. Before rice is served. Dont ask for rice immediately, that would be cheap.

My Colombian ex mother in law taught me how to make rice, 2 to 1 ratio. One cup of rice two cups of water. She would advise me to wash the rice till the water was clear. She would finely chop scallions, add a teaspoon of salt, and drop a tablespoon full of vegetable oil in a pan and tell me to heat up the scallions until you could catch their scent dump in the freshly washed rice and add the two cups of water. Once the water boils down and there are bubble holes in the rice cover the rice with a pan lid and turn the heat down to low. Cook about 15 minutes or so, don't remove the lid, until the 15 minutes has passed. Fluff with a fork. Perfect steamed rice every time.

My Asian brother/sister agree rice is life

We have been doing that here in the Philippines..My mother taught us how to cook rice using the middle finger second line in measuring how much to use..True enough , the rice is cooked perfectly...This has been practiced since time immemorial...handed down from generation to generation...This is an ancient secret in cooking rice...The same as that when we measure our waistline in buying pants..We just put the waistline of the pants around our neck and we can determine if the pants fits us using our neck..I tried to measure my waistline and my neck 2x ...well its equal..so accurate...

@leonardpearlman4017

That's really true about the waistline! Not everyone does that. I've been doing that in a store and people will sometimes ask me what I'm doing. When I tell them it sounds crazy and they don't believe it. Ah, as far as rice goes, I have been using the official rice measuring cup for so long... I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that here. I think it's an old measurement in Japan, and the rice-cookers were designed around it. Every rice cooker is marked inside the pot for that. I think the measure of rice is called "go" or something similar and is 180cc. I think the wooden sake cups are the same measure, maybe I just dreamed all that.

As the daughter of Chinese restaurant owners, this is pretty accurate. My grandma always says it's not a meal if you don't have rice.

When I saw this years ago I just thought I’d give this way of cooking rice a try. Never stopped doing it haha, perfect rice every time.

If you eat without rice, its a snack.

The accuracy is right down to the “explaining to a white person”. My tall white boyfriend had been cooking rice the way it says on a box his whole life. When I showed him the finger trick he did NOT understand or believe me even after I’d been making it that way for him for years. In fact, he didn’t stop questioning my finger method until 5years later WHEN HE WATCHED JO KOY EXPLAIN IT!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Cause all Asians are the same that’s how we measure our rice

I lived in the Philippines for almost five years. Rice was everything. I was taken aback when one of my little metees told me he's eaten everyday of his life, ans he wasn't joking. Beautiful people

We were watching my gf’s kids, who are Asian, while she was on her hunny moon. One night we were playing a game where you had to guess the word from clue words. The answer was Earth, so my husband said “we live on this”. My friends daughter stood up, slammed her hands on the table and yelled out “RRRRRIIIIIICCCCE” ……one of the funniest moments of my life

Was very close friends with an Asian girl in college. Her mom is Filipina and her dad is Thai. I can confirm the giant 50lbs sack of rice that is kept in the kitchen and a constant supply of cooked rice to eat with whatever is available at anytime you want. As a non-asian I was honored that woman trusted me in her kitchen! Guess it's because I genuinely loved the food she made and was willing to try new things 😊

I never thought about it until now. it's so true. my mom's kitchen is always overstocked with rice. rice to the east is like bread too the west. it's sacred. my mother never throws out rice. she always feeds whatever's left over to birds.

My son just came from Philippines. My husband who is white Canadian is a chef. One late afternoon he started cooking, like steak, pork chicken etc. He sliced it up and serving the food to us. He cooked a lot of meat and I was so full then later he whispered to me and asked when are we going to have a supper ? I laughed because we didn’t have rice😂😂😂😂 You can take this joke Jokoy😀 My son passed away, I miss him
