#Finger Method Rice

When cooking rice, how do you measure the rice and water? Ask the average Asian person, and chances are they use “the finger trick” to do it! We recently shared a reel about the difference between Japanese rice cooker cups and US standard cups. Lots of you chimed in to say you don’t need any cups all you need is your own finger! Or as one commenter said “I let my ancestors take the wheel and use my finger knuckle!” 😂 Sarah shows you how it works in today’s video! You can watch the longer video over on our Youtube channel to get the scoop on how we cook perfect rice on the stovetop too!

⬇️ The “finger rule” 😂 STOP getting caught up in the details of cooking! My friends always call me about the “finger rule” for cooking rice, and honestly... it cracks me up every time. For context: The finger rule is a traditional Asian method that suggests, once the rice is leveled in the pot, the water should be about ONE KNUCKLE deep above the surface of the rice But they get hung up on WHICH FINGER to use. The main thing I tell them? Don’t stress about it. Cooking is all about experimenting and learning as you go. If your pinky’s too short, use your index finger next time. The more you try, the more confident you’ll get. You messed up? No big deal—next time, you’ll nail it! So don’t sweat the measurements—trust your gut (and maybe your middle finger)! Tag someone who needs to learn the finger rule 😂 🤝 If cooking feels stressful and you’re ready to make it a breeze, I got you. I share tips that make cooking easy, quick, and way more delicious — no hassle, just great home-cooked food! #busymom #busydad #quickmeals #familydinner #familydinners #cookingtips #dadchef #dadcooks #rice #stickyrice #ricecooker #steamedrice

How to cook the Perfect Rice 🍚 👩‍🏫 - - - - - #rice #cooking #asian #learn #culture #tutorial #viral #mindblown #howto #perfectrice #cookrice

@fehmz by @easy_repost_app ---------------------------------------- Welcome to Basics101. This one is for the beginner, the one who finds the kitchen intimidating, the one newly learning to love the kitchen and prepare food ♥️ If you already know-it-all then this one isn’t for you 😜 Fluffy rice, the Fehmz way Tip 1: Always wash your rice. In fact if you can soak it for about 30mins before you start the first rinse, that’s even better. It reduces the starchiness, cleans it and makes for fluffy kernels. Rinse 2-3 times. Tip 2: Bring your water to a boiling point before adding your rice. Add salt, cardamom and a piece of taj/cinnamon stick. I use the 2 cups water to 1 cup rice ratio. And 1 tsp salt for each cup of rice. Do not close the lid. Boil on high. Tip 3: If you need more water, always add boiling water, never cold water to cooking rice Tip 4: When you drain your rice, save the water for your plants. And give your drained rice a quick cold rinse to stop the cooking process. Tip 5: Steam your rice in your oven, it’s super easy and convenient, cover with a crumpled wet wax paper, seal with foil and pot lid. Tip 6: You can cheat a vagaar by just adding ghee, fried onions and green chilli when steaming Tip 7: You can make additions to your rice like methi or peas or anything else during the boiling process. Tip 8: How do you know your rice is ready to be steamed? Taste one, or rub a kernel between your fingers, if it breaks and is completely soft it’s cooked too far, drain immediately, rinse in cold water and steam for a very short time. If you can still feel a little body, look at it and see if you see a white dot in the very middle, then it’s ready for steaming. Most Important Tip: Practice makes perfect, I still get it wrong some days when I am not paying attention. It will still get eaten and feed hungry bellies. Don’t let it stress you out. #fehmz #rice #howto #cook #food #boil #hacks #learntocook #basics101

Do you use the finger method or use the line method (measure the cup to water ratio and then look at that line inside the rice cooker) Why does the finger method always work? #rice #cook #howtocook #homecooked #asian #filipino
