ive been working with iPot'd rice. Ive been using the Pot-in-the-Pot method.
my rice is Basmati , http://www.daawat.com the blue bag , 10 lbs $ 15 at the Indian emporium , two towns over,
https://www.amazon.com/Daawat-Traditional-Basmati-Rice-Pound/dp/B00B3ARYDC at Amazon.
the store has the Golden version ,, Ill try that next . Im happy with this rice. nice nuttiness to it.
my measurements are 1 heaping cup rice ,, washed in cold waster to remove rice flour , drained , then 1 cup cold water into the Pot that goes into the pot :
this ratio is important as it will determine the texture of the finished race : a little more water will give you a wetter end-rice
Mise :
I like these Chinese Sausages ( USA ) they are a little sweet , and a bit like char sui. only a bit. I peel them to remove the casing : pic 1. score w a sharp knife , and
peel a bit w your clean finger nail , then remove and chop. Ginger from Fz , in thin pieces. I use a SS Chinese cleaver w a mallet to carefully cut these shavings .
keeping my fingers intact, LemonGrass , cut lengthwise , then peeled into individual layers. easy to take out of the rice at the end. Chopped cilantro , and green onion ( added after the cooking )
dried Tj's cranberries are added after cooking as are the beaten eggs , to be cooked separately and added to the pot after the iPot'ing. thai curry paste , added to the rice to get this :
then this , mixed and ready for the iPot :
after cooking ,
HP , 6 minutes , over 1 cup water using the trivet. 10 minute release . works well for me.
the cranberries , cilantro , green onions are then added , along w the cooked scrambled eggs . i remove the ginger and lemongrass sticks before mixing every thing up.
finished bowl , w/o the nuts :
the cashew nuts are added to each plate-full , as I frequently have extra , on purpose, for the next day. I think the nuts get soggy if kept overnight in the rice.
finished plate. easy to do , and tasty. Im trying other flavor add-ins each time I make this , mostly Thai Curry pasty from different cans at the moment
I also make a similar " Rice + mix-ins " using Patak Byriani paste. that too is very tasty . you get the idea.
guess what's for donner tonight ? , leftovers for tomorrow. different Thai paste. excellent cold for breakfast.
don't forget to add fresh cashews in the AM
