Lan Lam is my goat
I love gravlax!!! ❤️
Searing gives tuna a much more complex flavour (Maillard reaction) than blanching. The biggest problem with searing is that it has to be done at extremely high temperature to avoid cooking the tuna too much.
Cooking rice is hard I feel especially regarding the amount of water and tools we use, either regular pot or instant pot or rice cooker… As the rice might be used for different purpose after cooked like fried rice or build in a bowl. Water is the main issue I am facing to know exactly how much I should use.
Would love to see a rice video with different types of rice and different methods – stove top, rice cooker, insant pot, etc
Can you make a video about sushi rice.
I’m have had my best rice success in an instant pot but I only need a cup of rice for my family so it get dry. Can you recommend a better ratio?
For rice, how do you find the right ratios? Also, what's the best way to make sure it's able to be saved for fried rice in the future?
does soaking rice help improve the final results? if so can this be applied to any grain of rice?
Dan's video on rice has been my guiding light for years. 1:1 and then around 1/2 cup of water for evaporation never fails me! Would love your take tho Lan!
i prefer using a serrated bread knife, good saw-ing action
Yes, Yes – I need help with RICE!!
I’d love to hear your scientific take on why rice should be washed prior to cooking.
Love the schmoo of creme fraiche!
YES please do a video about cooking rice especially cooking asian white rice like for sushi or Korean white rice – and please cover how to make it without a rice cooker, and address water ratios and how to get it to not stick to the pot. I grew up with a rice cooker in the house, so i am actually way worse at cooking rice in a pot on the stove. Korean rice needs to be rinsed SOOO clear and its so hard. Trust me, i've asked many people and seen stuff online, but i want to know WHY it turns out sometimes and why it fails others! Thanks so much for your videos, I watch them even if I don't need to learn the topic!
Lol click bait title
Love this video, and feeling more confident having this information about using raw fish. YES, please do let us know your best rice cooking technique! Cheers.
Always love these techniquely videos, thanks for making them! I'd love a rice video.
My request is how to make brown rice tasty. I'm trying to make healthier choices and substituting brown rice in place of white rice is an obvious one. But it doesn't work with every dish right… What are some good ideas where to use brown rice. Any tips for cooking brown rice for meal prep so you can take it to work for lunch during the week? It often dries out more than white rice I find
I would love a video about washing the wood cutting board! I'm always hesitant to use mine with fish or meat because of the difficulty in cleaning it well given the size…
Yes please for a rice video. I want to know how to get different textures: fluffy, chewy, sticky, etc.
"Almost" all of the parasites are killed? Yikes.
protect this lady at all costs. such a good instructor that I cling onto her every word
Rice is my nemesis. I love it but it either sticks to the pan or is too clumpy and gluey. Help me!
I have a rice cooker running 24/7, when it gives out I need to know how to make rice in a pot.
Really important! Pierce the vac packaging or remove the fish before defrosting, otherwise there is a risk of botulism
Yes, cooking rice please
I need to try this. You are the best Lan!
yeah – i want to know way more about rice. probably the most under talked about ingredient. Dan's video was great, but I there is so much I still don't know.
What are the pros/cons of steaming with just the right amount of water until the pot is dry at the same time the rice is cooked (what is always written on the bag, and how rice cookers work, but seems so finicky), vs boiling and straining (seems more popular in Indian recipes, and more foolproof). When should you use one vs the other?
You are awesome
I would really enjoy a rice video. Especially about the different types of rice and the best uses for them and how the preparation differs for them.
Lan, I love eating wild rice. Please make a video talking about how to fully cook wild rice or a wild rice blend. I have such trouble with it. Please make a video showing how to properly make wild rice. I read the ATK review article talking about wild rice. Would be a big help, thanks.
Would love comparison of any one rice recipe of rice cooker vs stove including recipe von package vs rice cooker recommendations
Yes please! Tell me all your rice secrets… I love everything you do! (As with most of ATK!)
Rice video, yes. But we want Lan to explain everything about cooking.
After I saw my cousin in the hospital at a very young age due to e-coli issues, I always make sure my steaks or steakhouse burgers are cooked to medium. I’m only speaking for me, myself, and I. That’s the reason I very rarely order burgers/steak. But thankful this video exists. I never knew how easy it is to prepare raw fish. I know as long as I follow the guidelines and other FDA regulations, everything will work out great.
Lan can be my party guest anytime! Was hoping for something about smoked fish, too. I guess technically it's not raw because it's heated, but isn't smoke temp below that of the recommended internal fish temp?
RE rice: YES! Especially sticky rice and rice noodles and what the best vinegar seasoning ratio is to add to short grain rice (I don't want to keep 2 bottles of rice vinegar if I don't need to!), and upland rice (like at Purple Mountain Organics), do we always wash rice, why some rice is aromatic, and why Wild Rice isn't rice?
sometimes you want more sticky rice, sometimes you want more grainy rice. would love a video on the different ways rice can come out.
I think I saw a worm😱
The captionist really wants us to know that she likes how gingery it is
Cooking Rice please. Especially how to use a rice cooker. I've seen conflicting information about those cookers.
Yes to the rice video, that would be great. How to get the best results without using a rice cooker.
