Default Made a Little Jambalaya Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSG9z0Yh0vM

Quality isn't the greatest but I did it on a whim. Thinking about getting a better camera and making videos on some other stuff.

I can't get parboiled rice to "pop" a good rice looks like a miniature hot dog bun when boiled and isn't mushy, if you can do that you have it right.

usually......a good boil and stirring constantly for 7-8 minutes does the trick.
turn the heat down, cook for 25 minutes.
if the rice split you can clearly see it.

if you have some water still on top.......do not stir it in.........skim the top.....save that for dipping white bread in.

flip the jambalaya and all should be good

I do the same with cooking regular rice

I got busy, Sorry. It pretty much looked the same as it did at the end. I want to learn how to edit videos, my cousin just bought off a knock off go-pro from Amazon that shoots some really nice video, I'm going to buy one of those.

No, Cream of Mushroom Soup or Kitchen Boquet in it either. Color is from the browned meat and onions. Cooked it for the 4th, had about 25 people over and they all liked it.

Ya did a fine job on the video it was informative and pretty good. In my big 10 to 20 gallon pots I boil rice for 5 minutes or till it starts to swell good slam on the lid turn the fire off and get a bee. 30 -45 minutes later fluff and its done. The pot keeps cooking. In a smaller black iron or magnalite its also good to boil 5 to 7 minutes then [park the pot in a 250 oven That keeps folks from stirring and peeking when ya not looking.

I forgot to mention something in the video, at 11 minutes after you put it to boil you should pull the lid off, if you dont have liquid on top the rice add some. My UNcle taught me that about 20 years ago and he cooks more jambalaya than anyone that I know. If you have instagram send me a follow request @chedballz I have a video of all his pots on there.
