Transcript

You ever eat your rice like this? Just like this, right? Hi Chef Chris, I just watched your video and I've been eating rice with cold like ice water my whole life. My parents do it, so I do it. Something you said in the video, maybe really think. I wanted to look into it. And there is. So I'm gonna put some ice water into my very hot bowl of rice. When you add water to the rice, it washes away a little bit of the starch and it kind of gets diluted, you know, in the water. So when you eat the rice, the starch doesn't coat your mouth as much, which leaves your taste buds more receptive to the other things that you're eating. So, like, every time I eat rice with something, you know, like the hot piece of spam or the, like, the kimchi, the flavors are much more intense. Also, when it comes the temperature is so contrasting that again, it elevates the intensity. So it's more than just, you know, cooling the food down or cooling you down. It actually intensifies your whole meal. I don't know. I thought it was really cool. So I wanted to share that. If you're somebody who's never added water to your rice, try it. It's really good. Mmm. It's really good. And it actually intensifies your whole meal.
