these things are awesome

I'm not eating bugs

the reddit spice

You already eat shrimp

No I don't

You ARE toasting your rice before cooking, right, anon? You wouldn't REALLY just leave free flavor on the table... right?

It takes too long and it's a hassle to get all the grains back out after the toaster pops up.

please enlighten me anon

Heh

Basically, instead of making it by boiling water in a pan and then throwing your rice in, you boil water in a kettle while heating your pan with rice in it already. Add a little drizzle of oil to coat the grains and add salt/other seasonings of choice (might want to wait adding other spices until just before you add water so that they don't burn). When the water is boiling, pour onto your rice, cover immediately, and reduce the heat to low. Doing it this way brings some benefits- one, it makes it easier to time your rice as cooking starts exactly when you add the water. Water also boils quickly in an electric kettle. The other major benefit is that while the water is boiling, your rice will be toasting, which adds some nice additional flavor.



However, I've found that if you REALLY toast the shit out of it, get it nice and brown to the point where you can easily crunch the grains to powder with your teeth, it elevates plain rice into something delicious and flavorful on its own with only a little bit of salt. You know that really tasty "burned" rice you can get stuck on the bottom of the pot? It tastes kind of like that, except that flavor permeates the entirety of the rice.

As an added benefit, when you toast your rice to that degree, it actually makes the grains much more resilient and they can take a lot more water while remaining al dente.

you mean a fucking pilaf, retard?

I hope you're not spending money on them anon. These grow like weeds in the civilized regions of America (Midwest) and are far more potent than whatever dried shit you're buying

Oh, is that what it's called? I picked it up from somewhere but the cooking method was never named.

Whoops, meant to reply to >>19236998

Yes, tossing rice in oil and toasting in the saucepan is what makes it a pilaf. Generally they also have nuts and herbs, but the basic method is what defines the pilaf. Sorry for being rude.

>>19236695 (OP)

how are you using them in fried rice?

You're all good :)

explain.

toast them until they bloom and then cook them with rice?

Retard. You didn’t discover some lost rice cooking technique. What you described is the way billions of people cook rice.

i got a very small quantity and added them to the pan with heat with everything else



i shoulda toasted them

yea, go light on them but they're not overpowering

I like the flavor of pure white rice, and I have a rice cooker.
