Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Interesting, I didn't know rice processing, in the US, was so good that people didn't have to wash their rice to clean out the bugs what whatnot. A shame about the vitamins though
Mexican-American. The rice dishes I learned usually start with unwashed rice which is then toasted/fried in oil alongside onion and garlic.
Great video, learned a lot I didn't even consider. This is peak /r/mealtimevideos for me, completely random topic with very interesting implications and a concise video.
As an East Asian I was ready to start hating on this guy but by the end of the video I was really impressed by how well he did his research and how culturally sensitive he was in his presentation. I ended up learning a thing or two even though I’ve been around rice and these East west conversations my whole life.
I wash my rice because it tastes better and is fluffier. Unwashed rice comes out of the rice cooker sticky and a little mushy. And if you don't wash your rice, then there were be a gross layer of starch that covers the inside of your rice cooker.
My Cuban family insisted we always had to wash our rice at least once, and I did it that way most of my life, buying enriched long grain rice and using a cheap rice cooker. A few years ago I switched to Jasmine rice, using a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water in a regular pot on the stove, and stopped washing. I honestly prefer it that way now, and didn't notice a difference the few times I washed beforehand.
My dad's reasoning for not washing rice is that (being Chinese) no Chinaman could eat rice with chopsticks if it wasn't sticky.
He eats rice with a spoon.
I wash my rice cus I don't like the rice paper that develops on the cooker lid when the starch water dries out.
Uncle Rogers told me it’s necessary. I never want a “hiya” directed at me from Uncle Rogers so I wash my rice.
