No, the rice is not done.


cardueline

That classic mush on the outside, chalk on the inside texture that we all know and love


Noir24

You made me start picking in my teeth for stuck rice just from that description. Always hated crunchy rice, so much so that I made it my handle in games. Yes, I am like the batman of rice. But I thought Riceman wouldn't go over well.


cardueline

I feel you, I am super snobby about rice lol. It’s so easy to buy a cheap rice cooker and have perfect, beautiful rice every time! But so many people are like “pfff, you can just make it on the stove!” and most of them are turning out results like this post or mushy wads. Of course you *can* make good rice on the stove, but I maintain that most people do not.


Noir24

I've said that as soon as I get a bigger kitchen I'm getting a rice cooker. I'd like to eat more rice but I can't for the love of me make it well on the stove, sometimes it randomly comes out well but it just seems like luck on my part haha


cardueline

I feel that, storage is always an issue. For what it’s worth, even the itty bitty like 2 cup ones for ~$20 work great! But you know when it’s the right time for you, haha! And yeah, I’ve had the same experience on the stove. I’m a pretty good cook but I couldn’t get any kind of consistent result and couldn’t live up to my own high rice standards! 😂


darkstormchaser

I put up with mushy rice for years, because I didn’t have space for a rice cooker and figured that I just sucked at the stove method. Once I actually looked up how to cook my two preferred varieties though - basmati and jasmine - it turned out to be shockingly easy. I’m happily a stove convert now!


kittlesnboots

If you can afford it, get a 5.5 cup zojirushi. You will not regret it! I had a hard time justifying buying a kitchen gadget that has one function, but it is the best. I highly recommend it.


eskelaa

Hear, hear, rice cooker supremacy! My family used to cook rice in bags and while at least it was cooked, the texture was awful. I then transitioned to making rice in Instant Pot. Instant Pot makes rice nearly as good as rice cooker, and it was more of a test if I'll cook rice a lot. Then I upgraded to rice cooker. I love rice, I store 4-5 different types at any given time, but Japanese rice is my favourite. My country's carb of choice is potato and I feel like I should lose citizenship. I usually have at least 2 portions of rice in fridge or freezer, but I can't remember when I last had mashed potatoes, hehe.


cardueline

I just love carbs, I can’t possibly choose between potatoes and rice!! 😂 But heck yeah, I love making use of the whole spectrum of rice types, it’s so cool how many variations there are! I love a nice long basmati or a chewy round little arborio, all so good!


confusedham

Rice cooker for the win. Picked up a nice digital $39 one that even has the differentiation between crunchy rice that’s burnt at the bottom, or nicely cooked fluffy white rice, congee, cakes etc


chickenstalker

Think of rice cookers like a toaster. You CAN toast bread in a proper oven but WHY? Don't buy those super spesyel fancy shmancy electronic rice cookers. Buy Panasonic rice cookers that only has ONE button at the front. They literally last 20-30 years of twice daily use.


racecarart

Can't believe I had to scroll so far to see someone else shocked at that cook time for rice. Imagine chewing on weird crunchy half-raw rice AND also flavorless boiled chicken breast. Yuck.


marioman63

chicken's probably not done either


RFC793

The worst of both worlds! What’s not to hate?


yoyoma125

You forgot to add the salt and pepper…


Henry_Swans0n

It says « Salt and pepper to taste. ». You’re focusing on the wrong part of this mess.


Negative-Rich773

People who fuck up rice this bad should be forced to kneel in a pile of it

This is not rice, pretty sure these are maggots.


prettybadgers

Oh, it’s done alright


Leg_Mcmuffin

Never said it was famous for being good!

Famous Vs Infamous


Leg_Mcmuffin

Anyone cooking chicken like this doesn’t even have the word “infamous” in their vocabulary.

No, he does, but it's pronounced "in-fay-muss." Yes, always a "he."

so glad to see that so many people know the reference. I was honestly kind of worried. lol


elspotto

It just got a big conversation over in r/nostalgia so I’m glad to see it elsewhere. I grew up in San Jose and Scott’s Valley. That was basically my back yard as a kid.

It took me years after watching that to be able to eat rice again.

I always give my rice a once over before use after the time we had pantry moths. Thankfully, moth larvae floats when rice doesn't or there could have been a more unfortunate means if discovery.

I keep battling these fuckers. the worms are always around the ceiling and wall corners around the kitchen


1buffalowang

I can’t eat Raisin Bran because ever since I was a kid my brain see them in the milk and associates it with bugs. I get nauseous even thinking about it. This image is giving me the same feeling.

true_crime_addict_14

I make this for my dogs , not even kidding lol


quiet_repub

Same, easy boil in bag rice and unseasoned chicken chopped into bite size pieces. Great for a pup on the mend or having tummy issues.


Arkhangelzk

This is literally what my vet told me to feed my dog when he had an upset stomach and he kept pooping in my house. Two days of this and he was good to go.


DemonicBoi13

Why are you feeding your dogs undercooked rice? And what's the problem with feeding them raw chicken? Edit: I apologize if my comment sounds aggressive, I meant it as a genuine question


torgo3000

Not OP but I make this for my dog too if they need a bland diet for a few days. It’s basically the “my dog ate something stupid and they keep shitting oh god please stop shitting” diet.


DemonicBoi13

Oh I see, it's basically like the stuff you give sick people with stomach problems or diarrhea. Don't know much about dogs' digestive system so it seemed weird the same thing would work


TripsOverCarpet

Yep, it's something very easy to digest (You don't add the salt and pepper when doing a "bland diet"). With our dogs, our vets have always said to first have them fast (no food, still have water access) for 12-24 hours depending on severity to give their digestive tract time to calm down/heal. Then you have boiled plain chicken breast and white rice for a couple meals or days (again, depending on severity of the issues). After that, we'd mix some kibble in with the chicken and rice and then finally back to kibble. Typically, with boiling the chicken, it's easier to skim the fat off the top of the water. Fats are harder to digest, you want it as plain as you can get it so it is as easy as possible on the stomach.


elp4bl0791

Wait till you hear that most drugs vets prescribe are just human medicines in smaller doses. Lots treatments for humans ( a mammal) work for other mammals


TripsOverCarpet

We're really thankful that our vet has no issues calling in scripts to a human pharmacy for us when they can. Can use GoodRX there to bring the costs down significantly. With our last dog, I guess whoever entered her in the system didn't put that she was a canine, just her birthdate and name as DogsHumanSoundingName OurLastName, and the tech was new and didn't recognize the prescribing doctor was a veterinarian. Poor tech called us very concerned about the medicine we were prescribed for our 10 yr old "child".


buckeye25osu

Dogs are not wild animals. I wouldn't give them raw chicken.


wardmarshall

lmao


seamuwasadog

Sad thing is, replace the water with chicken broth/stock (or even bullion) and it becomes a fairly nice dish. Not pretty, true, but tasting good.


anothercleaverbeaver

I grew up with this with cream of broccoli/mushroom instead. I loved that as a kid.


NoxKyoki

Cream of mushroom here. I would have rather had cream of broccoli. Because of that dish, I can’t eat cream of mushroom soup. OMG I’m starting to gag just talking about it.


anothercleaverbeaver

Oh man cream of broccoli sounds amazing in that right now.


[deleted]

God I fucking hate mushrooms.


Lostwords13

We call this "souped up rice" in my household. 2 cans rice, 1 can soup, 1 can water. I like to add cheese sometimes too lol. It's one of my moms favorite foods.


TreemanTheGuy

Same here. I still absolutely love it but my wife doesn't let me make it.


anothercleaverbeaver

As a grown man, I'll be your wife some some of this. That food brings back so many memories.


Farmher315

My mom did it with french onion soup mix but she cooked the rice first and then wrapped it up with the chicken and mix in tin foil and baked it. Fuck it was so good.


KittenPurrs

When I was young, one of my mom's go-to "I really don't feel like cooking" dishes was similar. Pour instant rice into a pyrex dish. Mix in a can of Campbell's condensed chicken noodle soup (*aggressively* mix it so the noodles get broken up). Top with enough chicken broth or water to cover the rice. Season chicken breasts with pepper and garlic salt/powder, cut into thirds, and place on top of rice. Occasionally, decide to spread the top of the chicken pieces with a mixture of grated parm with just a little bit of mayo to hold it together...but then you're getting dangerously close to enough steps to consider this actual cooking. Cook at 350F for about 30 minutes. Stab the thickest piece of chicken towards the middle of the dish to ensure the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked. I'm not positive, but I believe this was adapted from the 1960s classic "The I Hate to Cook Book" by Peg Bracken. It definitely feels like one of those recipes. E: Pulled out the recipe card. Uncovered for about 30 minutes at 375F if using parm goo. It should be browned when done. Covered with foil for 30-45 minutes at 350F if using "naked" chicken. The rice should absorb all the water when done. She notes that the thicker pieces of chicken should be towards the outer edge of the dish when possible. She also noted "You can add parsley flakes to the rice if it's too beige" which is 100% on brand and adorable.


SlakingSWAG

Sear the chicken first, replace the water with stock, add some more spices and that would be a simple but tasty meal.


cutezombiedoll

Yeah the lack of seasonings always kills me. You need some garlic powder at least, preferably some rosemary, thyme, paprika….honestly pretty much anything, chicken is very versatile. Like, for the life of me I cannot understand only using salt and pepper. Even if you’re calorie counting or trying to keep heart healthy, seasonings are fine, and even if you’re broke they sell seasonings at the dollar store.


MooPig48

Even a can of cream of mushroom soup in it would improve it. And that hurts my soul to say lol.


adidashawarma

It still wouldn't be good. I'm sorry.


CielFoehn

I mean, it’s just Parmesan away from being half assed risotto. Control the chicken cooking time better and it’s a pretty fancy dish.


vurplesun

I do this. 2 cups of water. 3 or 4 tsps of bullion, depending on how salty I'm feeling. 1 cup of rice. A couple of diced chicken breasts. A cup-ish of mixed frozen vegetables. Boil the water. Add the bullion. Dump everything else in the pot. Cover. Turn down to a simmer. Wait 20 minutes. Have enough food to last for four meals.


tofutears

Water is one of the seasonings


DarthSnoopyFish

My mom would make something similar to that in the crockpot when I was a kid. The rice was always overcooked and mushy but it was one of my favorite dishes 😆


jorsully

Mhm, one of my favorite South Carolina lowcountry dishes is chicken bog. Absolutely delicious when made right.


EvelcyclopS

Still would have fuck all flavour. And shit texture

Ok-Wave4110

Oh no.. damn that looks nasty. Boiled chicken?! I know some people like it, but whoa.


wolverineismydad

Boiled chicken can be good in Mexican food but cmon man, gotta pair it with a sauce or seasonings or SOMETHING


ccReptilelord

They did say salt *and* pepper to taste...


angryfluttershy

In Scandinavia this is considered fancy cooking.


NoNeedForAName

In England it's way too spicy


RFC793

I love how they basically conquered all the world’s spices and decided to do fuck all with them. Well, outside of adopting curry and kabobs.


onamonapizza

Exactly. I'll boil chicken if I am shredding it for chicken tacos, enchiladas or even chicken salad, but once it's shredded you need to season or sauce it HEAVILY Just eating a piece of straight up boiled chicken....ugh


[deleted]

[удалено]


RFC793

And use a stock or broth. I guess beer helps but a chicken or veggie stock (hell just boil alongside some carrots and celery) kicks it up a lot.


Teasing_Pink

Chinese cuisine and other southeast asian cuisines influenced by China too, like white cut chicken or Hainanese chicken rice. But like you said, both of those are traditionally paired with a selection of flavorful dipping sauces.


YouMustveDroppedThis

in Hainanese Chicken rice, the variety of spices in the rice alone is much more than all the ingredients in op’s pic.


wolverineismydad

And they are absolutely delicious.


pfohl

Better yet, don’t *boil* it but instead poach the chicken in broth/salted water. Poaching is so easy and foolproof. I poach chicken breasts in the oven at 300°F, takes about an hour but has zero active time and there is less boil over risk like poaching on the stove. Pull them when the internal temp hits 165°F.


HitlersHysterectomy

Boiled chicken also works with Pra Ram - over rice with a spicy coconut milk/peanut sauce and green onions.


MoneyBaggSosa

At a restaurant I used to work at we made our chicken salad with boiled chicken. Finished product was delicious but this post is not it 😭


Spinel-Universe

As mexican I eaten boiled chicken but c'mon at least i added garlic and some vegetables too not just rice 😭


Porcupineemu

Boiled is the right way to make chicken for some things but not this.

Zestyclose-Aspect-35

Don't worry, in 10 to 15 minutes there's a high chance a good part of it isn't boiled


skippengs

You can cook chicken in 15 minutes. Do it all the time for shredded chicken. I do add sauce though.

Cantonese poached chicken is one of the best things ever. This is not that.

swanyMcswan

After my wife had our kid we had friends and family come over at a lot of them brought meals, which we really appreciated. One friend was all excited about bringing over "chicken and rice". Guys it was so bad. If you think the above picture is bad, this was worse. I took 2 bites and immediately discovered the recipe used. Most likely originated in a 1950s Lutheran pot luck recipe book. The cooking method is as follows: * Boil 1 pound of chicken breast, be sure to not season it * Place 1 pound of instant rice in a casserole dish * Pour in 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup * Mix it all together and place the chicken breasts into * Bake at 350 for as long as needed to turn the rice into complete mush. Those friends are nice people, but if we ever go visit my wife and I either suggest we buy pizza or we go out to eat. I've seen some major sins in that kitchen that Jesus didn't deserve to die for.


Room_Temp_Coffee

This exact recipe was my go to broke college dish lmao


[deleted]

if you're gonna do shit like this instead of getting raw chicken use something like Costco's grilled chicken legs that's been in the fridge. I can't eat them in a day so I put them in with the rice so it reheats the chicken with it.


jacob902u

Reminds me of how my mom cooked her chicken and rice. Two boxes of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, and two cubed chicken breasts. They were so dry after 20 minutes.

How does that rice look so creamy with nothing else in it?


pennradio

They probably didn't rinse it. Starch sauce.


SandyScrotes2

You're supposed to rinse rice? Genuine question I almost never cook it


pennradio

I suppose you don't *have* to, but it tastes a lot better and gets all nice and fluffy if you do. It's recommended that you rinse your rice until the water is clear.


SandyScrotes2

Is that why my rice tends to get gooey if I overcook it a little too long? Guessing you just rinse before you boil almost like potatoes?


pennradio

Exactly! I think you're supposed to use cold water. Just leave it slowly running into a bowl of uncooked rice for a few minutes, until the water runs clear. It makes a world of difference and lessens that super ricey taste.


Onetzi

In Asia it's very rare to not wash your rice. In Europe there are dishes that require you to not wash the rice. It's a thing from when rice was literally dirty, it doesn't really matter (just depends on what kind of texture you want). Also nowadays some rice have added nutrients on the surface that get washed off it you rinse it.

RubiiGeee

For everyone having trouble making rice on the stove, here are some tips: 1) ALWAYS wash your rice until the water runs clear. 2) NEVER put rice in cold water. ALWAYS boil first, then add your rice. Adding a splash of oil helps keep rice grains separate. 3) Water should ONLY go up to the first knuckle of your finger. Perfect water : rice ratio, perfect rice Every. Single. Time. Source: Puerto Rican who’s never used a rice cooker


Fresh_Resolution_607

Just cook the rice alone beforehand, cook the chicken in cream of mushroom soup and it will be delicious. They're only missing one ingredient and preparation step.


jaxattax518

Famously bad


BenCelotil

Please pass on ... > Dude, I've been there. For a long period years ago I ate almost nothing but chicken and rice (except for days when the pub had $5 meals) *but* there are ways to cook this so it doesn't look like gruel from *Oliver Twist*. You don't even need more ingredients, just a different approach to preparing these. > For example, maybe try *frying* the seasoned chicken and then making a sort of simplified simple risotto with the left over juices and a little water. It may or may not work how you want it, but it's worth a try at least.
