In Puerto Rico people eat a lot of rice, the only thing is that we make it different from you, when we add the water we add a little salt and a little oil. And it tastes delicious. And we also make yellow rice with pigeon peas.

whenever I see them eating this rice in Korean dramas I'm just like I don't get it its just fucking rice but it looks so soft and fluffy and I just wanna stuff my face with it

It's Asians best way to save food not only food but also money...😅😅😅👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wow, 1 cup of rice turns into a whole meal, nice!

I LOVE how this woman makes everything seem so easy and simple suddenly you feel like you're a cook too and can cook

In my country the burnt rice at the bottom of the pot it's called concon and we fight over it because it's just delicious! Greetings form the Dominican Republic!

Bulgarian caption was submitted by one of my viewers! Thanks a lot! This video has so far captions in 9 different languages. All were done by my volunteer translators. Wonderful!

I'm asian and we eat rice from breakfast to dinner.

Portuguese caption is up now! One of my volunteer viewers submitted the caption! Thank you so much!

we always throw away the burnt rice..now I know I can make into snack.

Dear Maangchi, thank you so much for teaching me how to properly cook rice! I started hating rice at some point because I was adding so much water to it to prevent it from burning that it would always turn out too watery and mushy. It was so relieving knowing that it actually should burn a little, but to know that you can actually eat that burned part and even make tea afterwards was a delight. I just made all three and enjoyed myself thoroughly. I am forever grateful!

My grandmother yells at me if I let the rice stick to the bottom...I'm mexican btw, and she says that a woman who "burns" the rice is not good for marriage ahaha but still my rice is getting better and better and it doesnot stick to the pot (:

In India we always mix the rice and gravy together before eating.. we definitely have a side dish (fry) while having our meal.. and if rice sticks to the bottom of the pot, we are sure to get scoldings from mom 😁 Love from INDIA!!!🤗

I'm Puerto Rican and we call the burnt rice "pegao". It's the best part.

I like the way you filming with, the clearer vision, the comfortable colors of your kitchen that make us very calm when we watch you and finally I like your accent It's very AMAZING, you make me wanna watch every video even I’m not going to cooking, please keep on =)♡

I’m Cuban and we call the burned part Raspa. We love it! My mom’s favorite part of the rice. We cook rice, one part rice, one part water and then just a bit more water (about 1/4 cup) we mix bit of salt to taste, 1 teaspoon olive oil, high heat, when it starts to boil, cover and lower heat. Always perfect!

OMG! THE RICE IS SO FLUFFY! I thought my brother was going to be the only one in the family able to make rice like that, but now I can make a bento with that rice! Thank you, you've got yourself a new subscriber! Thank you!

My Chinese mother makes the same style tea and rice crust after the rice is cooked, yummy

i love rice sm but in Turkey we fry the rice first with some salt and some cooking oil or butter, then we add the water and wait for it to cook until the water is all gone:) also i like to mix my rice with my salad a lot, i recommend it if you never tried that

When I was a child my mother would make rice balls (onigiri) with the burnt rice flavored with a little shoyu. She made just enough for her and me, our secret treat! Thank you for recalling that nice memory with your own story. She passed away in 2007 and I still miss her.

망치♥님! 당신은 '진정한 한국음식' 중에도 최고 가장 기본, 가장 어렵고 한국적인 요리 소개해 주신 분이세요!^^ 그 누구도 이렇게 '누룽지'까지 제대로 소개하진 못했어요!! 게다가 간단하고 쉽게 소개해 주심에 탄복했어요~♥♥

Greek caption is available now! Sofia Anna submitted the caption for our Greek speaking viewers! Thank you so much!

I used a rice-cooker all my life until I moved to Europe. I found it really difficult to make rice over the stove. Then I discovered your video and tried your method. Voila! Perfect rice and happiness! Thank you Maangchi!

In Brazil we fry the rice with garlic, onion and salt, and then we cook with hot water. I usually put more water to cook a sticky rice. Maybe my favourite food in the world!

From where I live in the Philippines, we only eat the cooked steamed rice part as kids....but our grandparents and parents always teach us to eat the burnt bottom (the rice that sticked with the pot) and they told me that that part of the rice is "nana del kanon" which is in my language means "mother of cooked rice"....my parents told me that without that part, the rice wont get cooked, and that the rice wouldn't be a cooked rice without the others getting burned a bit below the cooked or steamed ones..That's why it is still important and it should be eaten too...... From then I usually eat the kind of hard bit burnt part of cooked rice. It is especially good with hot soup, so the soup can soak it and it wont be much hard to eat and swallow. It is also taught by elders to be eaten to also teach us to appreciate farmer's work and hard work, as well as to respect food and don't waste food especially rice, and to not waste our parents' money in buying rice and their effort in cooking for us. Rice is always a staple food in the Philippines along with other staples like corn, sweet potato, plantain, and cassava. I just got shocked that in Korea, they even make a tea out of the burnt cooked rice residue in the pot.....because we don't do that here. :) but nice to know about our different cultures on cooking rice.

OMG, Maangchi you're such a lifesaver!! I've always had trouble making rice, unless it was parboiled, so many times I've picked up this kind of rice only to fail at making it. Tried your method today and it worked, best rice ever. Thanks Maangchi, you're awesome!

nurungji is so delicious! when i learned to cook, my mom told me never to stir the rice because it would stick to the bottom of the pot, and for some reason this was supposed to be bad. now, i stir my rice on purpose to get the bottom a little burnt 😱😄 how times change 😆 i showed this to my mom and she also liked nurungji very much. Thank you, Maangchi!

Vietnamese caption was submitted by Tran Duong (KZfaq channel)! Thank you so much, Tran!

I am Dominican and in my country the nurunji is called CONCON. here we get crazy about it and if someone forgets to take it out or add water to the pot before of taking it out is considered a bad thing. we even have a comediant that says: the women that throw my CONCON i leav her!.

yes, nurungji doesn't need any dipping sauce. Eat it plain and enjoy the nutty flavor. Thank you for your update!

Hebrew caption is up now thanks to our volunteer captioner!

I went to a Korean restaurant and they served rice water. my friend hated it but I loved it! now I know how to make it! (yesterday I went to a market to buy all of the ingredients I needed for delicious korean foods!)

I am so so glad I stumbled upon this channel. Before now, I had been taught that the normal way to cook rice was basically the same method used in that BBC cooking show. I had literally grown up with that method! Never knew it was wrong and could never figure out why my rice was always either soggy or undercooked whenever I cooked rice myself that wasn't a re-packaged, microwave, uncle bens type rice. Now I know better!! Just tried this method for the first time and I'm so proud of the results! SO FLUFFY!!!! Going to try the nurunji and make the tea now as I've never tried either before. :D Thank you Maangchi!

My fellow Korean submitted Korean caption! Thank you very much!

in Bali, we called the rice snack as 'entip' we often serve it with shreded coconut and a little bit of sugar. It's tastes heavenly for my sweet tooth :p

i love this video! i also fave it so i can come back to it.

In Dominican Republic as well as other Hispanic countries we call nurungji "concon" or "rapa" . We eat it as a side dish too every time we make all kind of rice recipes. It is funny how far Korea is from Latin America but we still share some things. Great video. Thanks.

It s rare to see tea made of only burnt rice, i wonder how it tastes 🤔

You always inspire me! Thank you~

My dad worked in a Korean church for almost 20 years. I grew up with their food and I love it! My favorite thing will always be the purple rice and the shaved ice with sweet bean♥️

Love you Manngchi! I grew up in northeast China, this story of how your grandma cook the rice brought up a lot of memories.

aww i love how you told the story of your grandma! the happiness!

Maangchi my rice cooker stopped working yesterday and my stomach was sad about not getting any rice! But then, I remembered about your rice recipe and I gave it a try. The rice came out great! Thank you!!

As a German, I never knew that you have to wash the rice like this before cooking! I learned a lot from this video, thank you! xx

You are my favorite Korean chef to watch and learn from. I love that you are very clean when you cook.

I really love this channel!!! You can find really easy Asian recepies, and learn to cook them correctly for a few minutes.

Portuguese caption was submitted by our viewer Ana .Eliza (KZfaq)! Thank you very much, Anna!

I love this so much!

Maangchi is the best! She even makes simple things like rice more fun and 10x more delicious. We love you Maangchi!!

I love this video thank you so much ! I'm from Dominican Republic and the bottom rice we usually eat it everyday we call it ( concon) so it's nice to see that you also eat it in Korea. We usually get really mad if someone eat it or throw away the concon.

I just did it with long grain rice and omg it came out SOOOO GOOD!

I'm glad you like it. I have a rice cooker at home but I sometimes make rice with a pot because I want some nurungji (scorched rice) and the tea. : )

i will never stop watching you even after all these 7 years now

Love the way you talk and explain everything step by step !

Just made rice this way and it came out perfect! Much less starchy tasting than when I normally fix it! My burnt rice didn't come out as a patty lol I think I didn't leave enough at the bottom for it to form right. It was still pretty tasty though. 😉 The tea was absolutely delicious!! Very soothing! My family loved it too. I expected it to taste more burnt but it was so mild and relaxing. I don't think i'll ever fix rice differently. Thank you Maangchi!

OH wow ,in Puerto Rico my grandma and mother eat "nurunji" we call it "pegao" whats left of the rice.I love it too.

yay! I'm glad to hear that you came to know about nurungji!

i love the story of your grandmother! love your videos!

In Turkey, we add some milk butter in rice and cooked with that. And usually we use homemade chicken broth or meat broth. it gives flavor to turkish rice(pilav).

why does it look so easy taking out the crispy layer of rice ? you're a magician or something?

: ) yeah check out my story about nurungji in the recipe on my website please (if you want)!

Waouh !!! Thank you Maangchi!!! We also do the bap and the nurungji en Dominican Republic, but with oil. With you I just learned how to do it without oil, and enjoy the infusion too!! 🤗

Thank you beautiful, my family eat all the rice🤭 and nobody complaint 💜💜. Delicious

In Jamaica we call Nurungji, 'Bun Bun'. It is very good and crunchyand we often eat it with many types of gravys, like curry gravy, oxtail, pork etc. When rice is left for the next day, I personally wait for the 'Bun Bun'. It's like a reward😁

In Brazil, we crush the garlic, let it fry in oil until golden, add the rice, a spoon of salt and water. I will definitely try to do it the korean way. 😊

I never would have thought to eat the burnt rice then make tea with the stuff stuck in the pot. very creative and way to make use of everything.

My parents are Iranian and we call the 'burnt' part of the rice on the bottom 'tahdig', I personally don't like the rice version but I absolutely love it when my mum puts bread on the bottom!!! My mum soaks the rice and then adds it to boiling water, drains it when it is half cooked and then before adding the rice to the empty pot she puts some oil and then the bread! SOOOOO GOOD!!

we tried making kimbap today w my partner thanks to your recipe :)

What a sweet memory to have of your grandmother🫶🏼🫶🏼 I love your channel so much ...happy mothers day to you 😘

Watched this video years ago, and it's been my go-to method for cooking sushi rice ever since. Never fails 😊👍

I will definitely try this! In Germany we normaly cook Rice in little plastic bags and I’m used to it since I was a little kid. But I find it still a little strange, so I tried to improve my cooking skills. I’m sure with your tips I can master the perfect rice 🍚 Thank you so much!

I often make rice this way even though I have a rice cooker because I love nurungji! : )

Maangchi's method is superb! The rice, nurungji, and tea are all so good. I used spend so much effort scratching off the burned rice at the bottom of the pan, and Maangchi's secret - just a splash of water solved my problem! The nurungji came off in a whole piece with little effort! Thank you for sharing this, Maangchi!

crispy goodness, thank you 8.5 years ago! Had to make it with long grain rice still a yummy nurungji or guaba

we call the burned rice "tutong" and its my fave part

In puerto rico we make the rice a very similar way! they say that to get a perfect circular burn rice in the bottom is an art! we call it "Pegao"

My siblings and I loved these crispy noodle sheets or rice sheets very much. We called that carpet. If there was fried noodles or rice, we called out to our mother, "Mom, please make us a rice carpet (or pasta carpet)." I still love and eat it to this day. I'm germam. 🙂

I just made it right now and the rice came out perfect! thank you! i'v tried this a couple times and this is the first time it came out this good!

In Puerto Rico we call the nurunji, pegao! And we all love it!:)

망치 이모 감사합니다 😊 정말 맛있는 꽃게탕 이였습니다. 제가 제일 좋아하는 스타일 입니다. ❤️

My mom used to roll burnt rice with non-burnt rice into small balls and it was the most delicious treat ever! Childhood taste!

So simple yet so satisfying... rice, kimchi and tea... reminds of my mom... thank you Maangchi.

in Indonesia we call the burn rice is intip,,, intip we can sundried until very very dry and after that we fry in hot oil until crispy and you can sprinkle little salt afterwards it turn out into delicious crispy snacks

I love the appreciation for the rice. Great video

I always love to watch maangchi. I'm frequently wowed by her amazing cooking talent, but I don't get the tea in this clip. I usually get flabbergasted if I burn my rice or pot. I could have never imagined turning the burnt pot bottom into tea. Wow!

Thank you for this video. When I was little, my grandmother used to put broken up pieces of scorched rice in a glass with a little sugar and milk. It was sweet and a great dessert. It used to be one of my favorite things. I don't know how to scorch rice so I never could make it. Think I might try making it now that I have your instructions on how to make scorched rice.

Haha about the crispy rice as a snack, I eat it too! It's crunchy and very delicious. But we call it "fan zhiu" in Chinese!! Wondeful video! :)

Ty for the informative video. I followed your instructions with outstanding results 😊

Thank you so much for your nice message! You are awesome!

Before K-Pop and Korean Wave appear and emerge, there was Maangchi...

Just made this and it was amazing! Unfortunately my nurungji wouldn't lift all off in one circle, and instead broke into pieces, but it was delicious and easier to eat :) Thank you for the great videos!

In Jamaica we call the burnt rice bunbun or pot bottom....good stuff I love it!!!

I love you Maangchi!! Love from India. I love everything that is korean and thanks to u for making this channel..

Thank you for sharing your version of rice cooking. I love it paired with authentic Korean Kimchi 😋.
