  I can&apos;t tell you how long I&apos;ve waited for a clear explanation of rice like this. Fantastic.

  My eternal mistake: buying basmati and then trying to eat it with chopsticks.

  I hope my sister watches this video. She&apos;s 55 years old and still thinks there&apos;s only 1 kind of rice. She gets angry if you try to tell her different.

  Your tip about matching the rice with the cuisine you&apos;re eating is spot on. <br><br>In Japan, due to its protectionist policies to preserve the pricing of Japanese rice and preventing imports from taking over, a lot of ethnic restaurants such as Thai or Indian use Japanese rice. I like Japanese rice for Japanese food but it does not work well with Thai food or Indian food because the grains are heavy and sticky. <br><br>The floral scent of Jasmine rice works well with Thai food because the food is supposed to be aromatic all around. Basmati works well with Indian food because the curries and other things are heavy so it offers a light accompaniment to it.

  I can&apos;t believe I just watched a whole video about rice, of all things. But somewhere between your exceptional American accent with just a subtle hint of your native language, the enthusiasm for international cuisine, and your easy authenticity as you expertly work in names from other languages, this video sings the beautiful music of multiculturalism.

  As an Indian, I&apos;d say that Basmati has many different varieties within that fold. <br><br>It&apos;s used on special occasions mostly.<br>It&apos;s beautiful how so many cultures in Asia are connected with rice cultivation 🌾🍚

  Pandan and Jasmine rice have the same aroma compound (2-acetyl-1-pyrroline) <br>So if you want to boost up that aroma, add a little bit of fresh pandan leaf.

  as someone who grew up eating basmati rice, I love short grain rice so much. its so different, especially the sticky rice. It makes me understand why Japanese people can eat rice by itself with barely anything. do that with basmati rice and your mouth will dry up.

  If you garden, save the rice water for your plants for extra nutrients and keep bugs away.

  You can stop water boiling over by wiping the top inside edges of the pot with a little oil. It breaks the surface tension and pops any bubbles that start to make their way to the top. Works for pasta, potatoes, rice, etc.
