new videos right here every weekend okay rice and risotto they're all races
but they were done differently for example we're going to make a perfect
rice right now and the way that I do it I don't buy the incident Rice's or
anything I actually buy jasmine rice in bulk and
there is a trick to the rice you got to soak it for a little bit so we'll soak
some rice in water but the important thing is the cooking ratio one part rice
one and a half parts liquid and for this I'm going to use about six ounces of
rice and I'm going to use about eight and a half to nine ounces of liquid
first thing we have to do though is soak the rice and the rice requires to be
soaked for about thirty minutes in water and the easiest thing to do just take
your rice pour it in the water give it a little stir with your finger to knock
all the pieces that float up down and you're ready to go
thirty minutes later we'll get this on the stove and make some perfect rice in
less than 10 minutes our rice has been soaking for about a half an hour you'll
notice that the water gets cloudy that's most of the starch is coming out on the
stove is turn the temperature too high and add our chicken stock that's right
chicken stock remember leave
so I'll put my chicken stock in get that on high and I'll also drain the rice and
I'll bring the rice over and put it in the pot stir it around make sure that
the rice is completely covered with the liquid and then you want to cover it now
this is the secret you cover it and you let it come up to a boil the moment that
it hits the boiling mark then you want to turn it down to low and let it sit
for 10 minutes as you can see our rice has started to boil turn that down to
low while I'm waiting for the paint to dry
no actually while I'm waiting for the rice to cook if you like what I do here
and if you'd like to see more head over to my patreon page all kinds of neat
features for you if we become a sponsor for as low as a dollar a month it's
pretty easy and I have a discord channel where we can actually chat one-on-one
anytime ask any questions it's all for you because of your support turn the
heat off and now with a fork we'll just see how light and fluffy it is see none
of the greens are stuck together there's no liquid left since we did this in
chicken stock we're gonna add a little bit of butter because everything goes
better with butter and it gives it a nice Sheen probably about a teaspoon of
butter stir it around and we'll put some on a plate
as you see the rice breaks apart when you serve it which makes it nice and
fluffy there's loose kernels and a little bit of pepper just to add some
color a taste
mmm rice is done perfectly every individual
rice is right there and tasty no sticky and as you can tell it it doesn't clump
up and that's how you make a really nice no stick flavorful rice let's do some
risotto now okay time now to make the risotto it's
very important that you have a reason Plus in place for this because once you
start stirring your risotto you're gonna stir it till the end good 20 minutes
probably until you get a nice creamy risotto we're going to use a different
rice it's called our Burrell rice and the big difference is that there's a
starch in it that's what we want to release we're going to use our borough
rice one cup of that we're going to use about a liter of beef stock important
thing we need to heat the beef stock up so that it's almost boiling because you
don't want to introduce a cold liquid to your risotto why it's cooking and I just
remembered I need my olive oil so pour this risotto
we need olive oil but one cup of arborio rice I need some freshly grated Parmesan
cheese a little bit of butter I almost forgot we want one shallot and I'm going
to put my beef stock up stove now turn that up to high just to get it to
boiling and then turn it down a little but I do want a hot beef stock you also
need a ladle and something to stir it with I use a nice silicon dessert
spatula life's too short eat dessert first
all right so that's they're going to turn my temperature on my first pan here
to high and I'm going to add about two tablespoons of olive oil let that come
up to temperature all right now we can add our shallot to the oil stir it
around a little until it gets translucent a couple of seconds now
we'll add our rice the trick to the rice is that you want to get every green
coated with the oil which will help release some of the starches and wait
and listen until you hear the rice start to crack a little bit more tell-tale
sign little cracks first ladle of beef stock
and now we start to stir and we keep stirring this risotto for 20 minutes you
don't want to add your beef stock all at once you add it in little increments of
a time which draws out more starch in the risotto if you put it all in there
once it just wouldn't come out good it
wouldn't be pretty time for another ladle constantly stirring taking the
rice from the sides moving it in the middle but I can tell when it's time to
add more stock as when I'm moving the rice into the middle and the pan stays
dry perfect all right I'm gonna reduce the heat so I don't want it to stick to
the bottom and at this point I want to add but a tablespoon of fresh grated
Parmesan cheese
mix that around and then you want to add of a 1 tablespoon of butter that's what
gives it the silky shininess the X a little bit of flavor and like everything
else we must taste make sure the seasoning is correct could use a dash of
salt pepper and their final stir here and serve up a gorgeous creamy risotto
on the plate and one little one little touch from the herb garden a little tree
or sprig of parsley and there you have it
very nice creamy al dente risotto made with beef stock you can use any kind of
stock you want beef chicken veal vegetable the trick to it is remember to
add your stock slowly and keep stirring probably for about 20 minutes I hope you
