I am probably in the minority, but I am personally not a huge fan of the pressure rice cookers. I miss our old National rice cooker as the rice had a nice chew to it and with these pressure rice cookers, the rice is too soft.

But if you are Asian and you know the saying of eating soft rice, it's the life I want, but not the rice I need. :D

He has the same Martin Yan rice cooker :fuckyea:

BTW, anyone know him? He mentioned he's from Burnaby and it's a small world after all.

bcrdukes 07-25-2023 10:30 AM

Martin Yan - Yes. I know his daughter and ex-son in law. :D

I've met Martin several times and see him every few years.

Keep us onions out of your profiling badhobz......

We cook rice both ways, rice cooker, or on the stove.

Rice cooker is good if you're doing just plain rice, but I prefer stove for flavor. Stove allows you to toast the rice a bit with oil to add flavor, onion and garlic as well if you wanna be fancy.

I find most people fuck up stove rice because they lift the lid too soon, letting out all the steam. Don't do that shit. Once it's boiling, lower the temp and LEAVE THE FUCKING LID ON, DON'T TOUCH IT.

When our rice cooker finishes cooking rice, we open it after a few minutes, mix it up good, then close the lid and let it rest for another ten minutes.

I remember in home ec, our teacher drilled it into us to not open the lid if making rice on the stove, lol.

whitev70r 07-25-2023 11:40 AM

^ for stove top flavour, u gotta go clay pot then.

Hondaracer 07-25-2023 11:43 AM

Stove top rice = way too much work lol

I dropped out cheapo black and decker rice maker and it broke the auto-off, so now probably burn the house down one day when I forget to set a timer

Sounds like someone is building up a plausible excuse to call the fire department :gayfight:

My almost 10 year old MIJ one is starting to deteriorate and apparently this is common thing and it needs to replaced every few years?

Mine still good............ I think. Better check..........

MG1 07-25-2023 01:05 PM

BTW, I eat nothing but short or medium grain Cal Rose rice.

Once in a Blue Moon, jasmine or generic long grain............

If you're really in a pinch and/or lazy as fuck. Microwaveable sticky rice is ready in one minute (some 2 minutes). Just saiyan.

Uncle Ben's Perverted Rice. Black dude with big smile on packaging. What's with that? I like Italian Risotto.

Enough about rice, lol. I'm not that wild about wild rice, either.

Okay..... sticky rice wrapped in whatever shit from Chinatown. Hit and miss.I've had amazing ones as well as vomit type.

Traum 07-25-2023 01:24 PM

Ricers talking about rice. Luv it~ :lol

Badhobz 07-25-2023 01:40 PM

ive been actually addicted to eating east Indian long grain rice recently. Its just more flavorful and goes well with saucy meats like curries etc. Also has a better chew / mouth feel than the fluffy Chinese / Japanese stuff.

Great68 07-25-2023 01:41 PM

Parboiled rices like Uncle Bens makes for the best textured rice pilafs. Also in things like cabbage rolls where the texture the individual grain is important (no clumpy sticky rice here)

Love that place. For $4 the beef or pork rice roll is delicious.

whitev70r 07-25-2023 02:45 PM

^ Tak Fung ... you forgot sticky rice, veg stir fried noodles, AND you have to order the shrimp cheung fun (> beef and pork that they have ready to go), they make it fresh for you in about 5-10 mins. But do NOT order their turnip cake, it's the shitz.

Yes it happened in 2018 and was the worst storm in decades... It completely changed the landscape of Hong Kong, pulling out so many old trees, it just didn't look the same after that.

I had my washer and dryer out on the balcony and it blew the dryer into what used to be my neighbour's kitchen

https://i.imgur.com/kTRiGKd.jpg

That was honestly the scariest day of my life, because it came very close to blowing my balcony doors out, and that would have been a complete catastrophe for my entire house. Thankfully it held up.

I don't have any video of that, but here's one from my office on the other side


My balcony faces a valley, so I got a full view of what a devastating T10 storm looks like, and it doesn't show well on video, but it's really fucking scary.. It's as if the sky itself is alive and really fucking angry.
