Rice Pilaf Rice Cooker
We will also be
putting some celery onions and carrots
just add a little extra flavor and me like the color too it makes it look a
little prettier on your plate now when
I'm using white rice I like to rinse my
rice first because there's a lot of the starch within that rice these wire kind
of mesh, calendars work well for this and
I just usually rinse this right over my
sink and let my water run down the drain
and I just really like to remove the
starch from this so there is my rice set
there so we don't drip too much and my
water is really pretty cloudy
If you can
get a view of that so there we go
reading that off Lord I'm using 2 cups
of rice which means in my rice cooker I
want to put in liquid to the to mark
which is roughly just a little over 2
cups of chicken stock so in and that
goes about 2 and 1/2 cups so if you
bring us on the top of the stove 2 and
1/2 cups of your chicken stock to your 2
cups of rice should work pretty well
with this oven 2 on the stove - all
right so into there is going to go in my
rice and I have my onions about an eighth of a cup of diced onions and a quarter cup of salary
and I'll probably have about a quarter a cup of sorry carrots there in a quarter a cup of celery
I was just leaving these
to cut that you can see I'm using the
tops I actually kind of like the little
leafy pieces in my rice so I didn't cut
that up yet just to show you that you
can just cut right through all those
little pops and it's a great way to not
waste any of your salaries
kind of like my celery in little pieces
again rice cooker or right into your
saucepan put on your lid plug in your
machine and press this to on this will
take oh you know twenty to thirty
minutes it knows when it's done based on
when the moisture is disappearing in
there it'll pop to warm and while you're
waiting for your other food to cook it
can just continue staying heated now in
the other videos
I've talked about how
the steam rises out of this little hole
up here and sometimes especially if I'm
cooking a full pot you know like three
cups of rice the more I cook the more it
seems to bubble over well I had a viewer
who gave me a suggestion she says with
her rice cooker she puts a towel around
the lid keeping that steam Hall open so
that you can prevent a little bit less
mess all over your counter and up into
the air so we're gonna give that a try
today
I've just done it once before and
found that it works quite well so we'll
let this cook so let's see what we have
here that towel worked well I have a lot
less moisture and messiness around my
counter oh look at that rice and doesn't
it just looks so pretty when you add the
celery and carrots to it I think it's
time to fluff it and give it a try I'm
just going to take a fork and fluff that
rice a little bit it's kind of loosens
it up can
kind of mix those vegetables in with it
and I'm going to put that on my plate
here for my dinner tonight
I think I'm serving a rice pilaf with
beets and some walleye let's give it a
taste
That's really good the salary flavor
comes through very very well and you can
just tell it's been cooked in chicken
stock instead of water it's just much
much more flavorful and it's just so
moist this is just a great way to gussy
up your white rice and make it just a little bit fancier with your dinner and
adding that a little bit of color makes
the plate looks good too
