Gordon,
I am from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. The person who “taught” you this dish, tried to troll you.
“Pegao” is something that happens in the rice pot, not something you can make in a cast iron pan.
In Puerto Rico, we make rice in an aluminium pot. We call it a rice pot (Olla de arroz).
It’s the leftover rice that has stuck to the sides and bottom of the pot, during the normal rice cooking process. To make different kinds of rice, we use oil, butter, and even a mix of both for making compound recipes of rice.
Yes it steams, but the bottom portion is kind of fried and sticks to the surface.
“Pegao” literally means glued. So, the glued rice to the pot is what we eat as “pegao”. You scrape it off with a metal spoon.
It can be white rice, yellow rice, rice and beans cooked together, arroz con gandules… it all makes “pegao”.
Whoever “taught” you this is a JODIA’ DONA (fucking donut) and should be shunned for trying to troll Gordon Ramsay.
Now, you should learn how to make “Arroz Mamposteao”, which is SUPER Puerto Rican, and you can make it with left over rice and beans.
Come over for dinner, any time. You are always welcome at our table.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

P.S. to all who are not Puerto Rican who read this. NO, there are no “different” ways to make pegao. What Gordon made in this video is NOT a Puerto Rican dish. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Again, the person responsible for “teaching” this to Gordon is a “ñemo”.

MY PUERTO RICAN FRIENDS, THIS IS HOW WE MEXICANS FEEL WHEN WE SEE THE STUFF THAT MOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD CALL TACOS…

Gordon Ramsay has finished the game and just now doing side missions.

I’m just trying to remember where exactly in Puerto Rico you make a “Pegao” dish!!!! Pegao just happens as you cook your rice. Props for trying though.

[marlinreyes]

Sorry but as a Puerto Rican born and raised I have to say that I'm flattered that he tried to make pegao... but sadly I have to point out that what ever he cooked there wasn't pegao at all.

[sweetsandbeyond]

I invite you to my kitchen where I will serve you an amazing Puertorican meal! I have never seen this dish. This isn't pegao!!!

[itmargarcia]

That’s not really “pegao” any Puerto Rican can tell you that. I appreciate the effort tho

[achozenshaman]

Pegao means ‘stuck.’ It’s really good. When we make rice, it’s the crispy rice stuck to the edges of the pot.

[miahernandez]

Actually I’m puertorican and “pegao” is when you make a pot of rice and you scrape the bottom of the pot because the rice is crispy and a little sticky. Gordon I’m sorry but I don’t think that you did it right. You just took rice that was already cooked and then started cooking it until it got crispy. This is not a hate comment by the way I’m just letting you know 😁👍

[nikro]

Your interpretation of "pegao" but you did an elevated "Arroz Mamposteao con Huevo Frito". We love you anyway for presenting our Island on your channel. 🇵🇷

Born and raised in Puerto Rico. In my 30 years I've never seen someone murder the meaning of pegao like you've done Gordon. I love you but it hurt my soul.
My grandma watched it with me and she's laughing. Also, use the whole longaniza, we cut it in rounds and make arroz con longaniza, which is amazing too.
I'll give you some slack this one time.

Its funny to see non Puerto Ricans telling Puerto Ricans that “this is his version of the dish” like…BRO! NOOOO! As a Puerto Rican this is not pegao! Pegao is NOT a dish! Learn the language and culture first and why we call it that. It literally means stuck rice. Its something that just happens after you cook lots of rice in a pot. The bottom layer gets stuck and crispy! This isnt something we make on purpose! Lol. Im sure what he made here taste great and all…but its NOT pegao! And just because he is a famous world renown chef does NOT mean he knows it all or what he’s talking about. Because this video literally proves that. No offense to him…but this aint it in the slightest dude.

My husband is a chef and Puerto Rican. This is culturally incorrect - all of it.

The Puerto Rican delegation has accepted Gordon’s Ramsey’s application for Boricua citizenship. He will be sent bottles of Coquito every Christmas and must now be at least 2 hours late for every family function!!

Just imagine just walking next to the beach then u see a outside kitchen with Gordon Ramsey 😭😭

[eddierodriguez]

🤔I don't think anyone in Puerto Rico goes to a restaurant and ask for a plate of pegao😂

[frank_texas]

So puertoricans did the impossible they made Gordon eat leftovers and he actually like it

[Danalmagrodrumsnbass]

The fact you chose my island to showcase some of our food culture and beautiful nature, that makes us really happy. You're a badass chef. 🇵🇷

Puerto Ricans: "If this is pegao, then I was born in Japan."
