Watcha cookin'?

[nickwm21]

Yeah a monkey can cook rice…. That’s not the issue…

The benefits of a rice cooker is that the rice will stay warm and perfectly moist all day (or 3-4 days on the high end ones).

Instapots are terrible for anything other than pressure cooking. And they certainly aren’t instant. One of the greatest marketing farces of our time….

I mean... I guess... but does anyone *want* rice to stay warm and moist *all* day?? Who eats that much rice?!?

This. It's not rocket surgery. It's fuckin' RICE.

Do tell, how do you make sushi rice?

Sure you can throw some uncle Ben’s on the stove and call it sushi rice, but the difference will be immediately palatable, both in texture and taste. Sushi rice is relatively simple but the devil is in the details. You gotta wash the rice well, but not too much, then you soak it, then you cook it. When it is done cooking you fold in the vinegar sauce. The sauce is what gives it the tang and texture so that the rice sticks together but doesn’t become monolithic.

I’ll sit down with a bowl of sushi rice and some good soy sauce for a snack and thoroughly enjoy it. I wouldn’t do that with regular rice unless I was starving.

I don't.

[BFD]

hit it with a fan when you add the vinegar. gives it some shine.

I'm in the I-know-how-to-cook-rice-on-the-stove-fine-but-a-rice-cooker-is-way-easier camp.

Put it in the cooker and start chopping and cooking the meal. I hate kitchen gadgets, but a rice cooker is a must have IMO.

I know this isn't an on-theme rice dish, but it's definitely got white-women-halibut cred:

"Nordic Tostini"
Goat cheese smoked salmon arugula heriloom tomato egg salt pepper olive oil lemon juice

Goddam that looks tasty...

And check out Alex's series if you really care about good fried rice which is totally different:

No taste and costs more than prime beef. No recipe suggestions because I don't buy it. Sous vide, maybe?

No shit. Not worth the minimal effort to sous vide. Halibut is nothing more than an overpriced flavor delivery device. I don't get the appeal and never have. Prefer Alaskan cod for fish and chips.

[neufox47]

I don't.

Is there anything else that you don’t know anything about that you’d like to educate us on?

Tostini seems like the wrong language, smørrebrød is too tricky?

Wrong, every asain family that can afford one, has a rice maker. Shit, i have two.

Staple item for billions of people. They sell frozen food packs to toss in the rice makers too so you can have a full meal.

I stand corrected.

Store bought rice is so bland, I like to grow my own.

Fuck, that is right in my wheelhouse.

I applaud your commitment to your craft.


Lately I've been on a caprese salad/caprese sandwich (layer salad on good frech baguette or sourdough bun and add arugula) kick to the point that its all I'm really eating these past week or so.

My ex wife’s family(they’re Japanese)would put the rice in a big bowl and add the mirin and fan it by hand with those bamboo fans. It’s great.

We went to a sushi place near Greenlake and I really liked the nigiri. I told the owner and he was very pleased. He agreed that most sushi places don’t get the rice right. Done well, it’s sublime

As you should be during tomato season. Do you get real mozzarella di bufala? Goddam that shit's tasty.

[Timberridge]

And preferably genuine Mozzarella di Bufala de Campana flown in from Italy. The Apulian version is ok, but lacks the fuller bodied flavor of the former. God forbid you use the American version, you may as well use shredded mozzarella from the grocery store.

Why yes... now that you mention it.
