Thanks👍

This guy's before looks like Sohla the chef from NYT so so much!!!

Pilaf is not a French word. It was borrowed from the Armenian plav or the Persian polo or the Sanskrit pulaka or pulau.

And you missed the most important way of making the perfect rice: Persian rice, soaked in salted water, parboiled until al dente, drain & pour over a bed of sliced potatoes, lavash or tortilla. Place a towel on the pot, cover tightly & gently simmer for about a half an hour. Pour some melted, saffroned butter at the end & enjoy! Reverse the pot onto a platter to reveal that crispy delicious stuff at the bottom of the pot.

Long grain 2:1

Cook Sri lankan food tooo🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

I love rice !!! Thanks for this video cutie !!!

If you are planning to cook 1 cup of rice do you cook for same time?

Sohla would never know it but in a way she has been raising me up since 2020. I work in social services so I barely get by. But I like to eat and feed my people well just like everyone else. No waste using accessible ingredients and doing it well is what I am here for!

"Minimum of 3 times." Too many years ago, when I was in an analytical chemistry class at university, we were instructed to rinse at least 3 times to be sure our glassware was clean. If I remember correctly, there was a mathematical foundation for the number "3" when it came to rinsing. Sadly (or not so much), I don't recall the math, but even now I rinse almost everything that I think needs rinsing at least 3 times.

20 minutes ?!

Thanks a lot for your variations of rice cooking. But you sure need to learn the best kind of rice cooking by an Iranian.

That looks like SO MUCH sesame oil! It’s such a strong oil, I would use definitely under a teaspoon to start, because it can overpower everything in a hurry

School house rock told us “3 is a magic number “…🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️👍🏽☝🏽😩🤣😂

This is the most useful cooking videos I've ever seen. It's pretty clear this woman cooks for her family every day. I was struck by the ease she transitions into each method with the why and how of each method.

Definitely removed my doubts as I continue my cooking journey at 82.

I did some shopping at a Chinese market today and didn't enjoy that at all. Being surrounded by so much unfamiliar product displaying so little English that I kind of gave up and just purchased a few items. I wanted to get some light and dark soy sauce but that was daunting. I got some that indicates low sodium which I think might be the light soy sauce.
I got out of there faster than expected mostly because the kitchen section had already closed.
So.....I got my wok and half my list is done. I almost got enough for a beef and pepper stir fry with white rice.....but must pick up some rice and frozen veggies first.
I had to subscribe after so many useful tips.

I can't believe she didn't to Mexican rice. We fry it first then add in the broth for it to soak up the flavors. L NYT Cooking

You are good Lady. I am happy to have found you. Love your tutorials.

thank you so much great tips

Thank you great video!

You are such a superb teacher and communicator; it is a delight to watch you; to listen to you and to just be with you. Been watching since the BA days and to see you all by yourself is such a special treat with all the other egos out of the way; plus i always learn something ...every time. I'd say you're a MASTER teacher bar none, so thank you and thank the NYT. I just hope they appreciate you as much as we do. Best. Michel

Hot dog fried rice is Sohla approved!

Good morning

Sohla, you are amazing!

Team Uncle Ben

👍👍👍❤️🙏

yooo

lets goooooooo

I never had rice growing up except for rice pudding. I hadn’t a clue how to cook rice as an adult. I’ve been cooking it based on a recipe from the Australian heart foundation (I’m not even Australian ) that I saw on tv 35 years ago. It works perfectly . But today i found out I’ve been cooking pilaff rice for 35 years and . I hadn’t a clue no idea. Thanks for the video.

Thankyou

❤

Rice is my favorite ✨⭐️

Jasmine rice never fails me, it’s white rice budget right now tho

Your beautiful

Looks delicious

I heard an old chinese parable told to children to explain exponents/doubling. It also explained the importance of a grain of rice. There was a famine, but the landlords and nobles had some rice. So the poor went and asked people if they had rice to spare. Just a grain. People said no. But eventually one man said yes. They then went to another man and told him that someone gave one grain and asked if he would give double for more karma or favor or something like that, and also as a way to one up the last guy. He doubled it. It kept going with more and more people, and at 10 or so people they started going to the landlords. And at 20 they went to the nobles. And they amassed millions of rice grains and fed the people. But it all started with just 1 grain of rice.

Anyway, good vid

Did she just say she's from Bangladesh?!

Great episode, very thorough and explaining the whys.

Tonight I made a revelatory, life-altering DELICIOUS pilaf … without a recipe, solely following the principles taught by Sohla in this video. Ingredients led by my palette and intuition. I am an experienced home cook but never have been compelled enough to make a pilaf… but after watching this video and understanding a pilaf can go many ways (like the best of us), I thought I’d give one a shot. And goddamn did I eat good tonight. These cooking 101 videos are SO good. Thank you sohla and bon appetite team for putting together such useful, accessible information in such a pleasurable and fun watch. Somebody needs to give this series an award.

I had no idea you store rice in the fridge I always cook it and leave it covered on the stove and eat it within 3 or 4 days

I think I did it right lol but ingredients and measurements plz

Absolutely great rice analysis here. I learned more on this video than I ever had. Thank you ❤
