Maybe he's got it!

does he have a rice cooker lol

Rice and salt, together. What's so bad about it? o.o

One tablespoon of salt... Don't you think that's way too much salt?
Also, two tablespoons of oil for each cup of rice, that's also WAY too much oil...

Oof. owo
I just got it.

De hecho se debe poner hasta un poco más o un cubo de caldo de pollo como sazonador

Says 1 teaspoon of salt. Not a tablespoon xD

My bad lol
This keeps recalling me a video of a British lady cooking rice, she puts too much salt and washes the rice after cooking. It's disastrous.

Do I do rice wrong? I never put oil in rice when cooking. One cup rice and two cups water and a little bit salt

Depends on how you're making it, oil helps the rice not stick together. Here in Brazil is pretty common to make garlic seasoned rice, we fry the garlic inside the rice pan before cooking the rice itself (you should try it, it's delicious).

Es que no sólo es sal, son más especias si solo le pones sal pues solo te sabrá a eso

Que bonito me encanta, aunque que yo sepa el ahecite es bastante si es arroz, que mínimo cubra toda la olla pero sin pasarse de la medida, luego son 2 tazas de agua por cada una de arroz

Two cups of water, one cup of rice. Nothing else. I’ve never heard of oil and salt in rice, pasta yes, rice no.

That's weird, cause I use oil to fry the rice a bit before adding the water, I even throw some onion inside so that it boils with the rice, gives it a special taste, though I do use chicken stock instead of salt

The recipe he's using here assuming 2:1 liquid:rice ratio is gonna be less-salty than broth.

I have used salt before once, but honestly, I felt like it tasted better with the broth, though that's just my opinion

Definitely does, or combined with butter.

I think you're thinking of "garlic"

And the poor cook was none the wiser XD
But at least he's happy ^w^

aww, look!

What on earth with that oil?? But the salt is actually reasonable! We can compare it to using chicken broth for cooking rice, which I feel is a common alternative.

Going with average proportions of 2c liquid to 1c dry rice, 1tsp kosher salt per cup of dry rice is less salty than chicken broth. The kosher salt is approximately 1120mg of sodium, while the broth would have approximately 1300mg of sodium. Seems reasonable for a flavorful rice!

The oil... I could see 1tbsp of butter for 1 cup dry rice, but I think it'd be more likely to see half that butter amount. Salt seems fine, oil though, ahahal.

Cuando haces un comic sobre hacer arroz, y todo mundo lo comenta y es relevante.
Genial trabajo! :D

Oil-In-Rice-Is-Important.
You have to sligthly heat it, then add some garlic (and other aromatics if you like) to it, then add the rice, and stir fry all together, then add your liquid.
I use anato oil to make my rice yellow.
And it's perfect every time.
ALSO rice cookers do a terrible job cooking rice D:

I see....the differences between asían/occidental ways to cook it XD

Not just that, but he was also about to add a shipton of salt on it

yeah...not the way to make rice in a NATURAL MANNER!

Bakes response is to adorable

I mean I used salt water for rice before. but oil?

Actually it's a method to bring out more flavor by browning the rice. You could use butter instead but, by cooking the rice before boiling it. You cause the texture to become far fluffier and less sticky.

Pretty decent recipe :D

I just boil it and keep an eye on it if it's plain rice. If that's like Pilaf (if that's the right dish) then it makes sense.

As long as he doesn't become a kitchen nazi! This is a teacheable moment!

Salty rice is good tho

I usually go with the boil in a bag or microwave cup rice.

I dont get why Blake is blushing in the 3rd panel. Everything is organic up until that point.

Oil? Is his making Spanish rice?

Disclaimer: Spanish rice for me would be frying rice in oil until lightly brown, adding the water and salt (with tomato sauce, garlic, green peppers), and letting the thing cook until tender.

Demasiada sal?

Yeah, I don't get it. XP Great work on the comic though.
