For the outdoor burner, it would be cool to have a "throttle" pedal for the gas valve, so you could control the heat and still have both hands free...

Already budgeting for the wok and outdoor stove you've recommended. My husband and I love cooking outside (our kitchen is super small) and that seems like a super versatile, easy set-up (once you season the wok of course). Currently all of our outdoor cooking is done with coals and woodchips though, so dealing with propane will be a new experience.

Kenji is one versatile chef. The real serious eats guy. Learnt so much from him. Just a cool Inspirational guy.

If you don't have a torch, could you use liquid smoke to get wok hay?

Thanks for another great improvement of my day!

Gotta appreciate the chefs that cook on woks daily.

One thing I've been wondering recently about egg fried rice-is there a rationale for the eggs being as well-done as they generally are (beyond just tradition/preference, I guess)? I've tried stirring them in at the end, off heat, sort of carbonara-style, and it was pretty good. Very different, obviously-you get more of a silky egg coating over the rice, rather than chunks of egg-but good.

@JKenjiLopezAlt

3 жыл бұрын

Many different ways to do it. Adding the egg at the end is sometimes called "gold over silver" method, where the egg kinda coats the rice, as opposed to "silver over gold" method where you cook them separate.

I put fresh eggs over the rice at the end since my wife doesn't like eggs at all and pretty much fry egg coated rice. That way the egg texture and taste is not very obvious. It's still very delicious but can be a bit boring since the colour, texture and taste is quite homogeneous. IMO there is no wrong way to do it, you just need properly cooked and dried rice.

Well sushi rice is actually polished so the outer layer is already stripped off; the excess or loose starch that would normally be washed away from normal rice is for the most part already removed. And certain brands of Japanese rice like nishiki are milled close to the same way as sushi rice, and don't necessarily need to be washed either.

@Pammellam

3 жыл бұрын

Also, even in Japan, the experts say to wash the rice more quickly than in the past and don’t do so many rinses. In fact, just one rinse. The reason here is that milling methods have changed and I believe less starch is left on the grains of rice. Still, older housewives still wash and wash, rinse and rinse.

Also surprised, depends on the kind of rice I guess. Is it just the short grain sushi rice that he doesn't wash, or every rice? I've never been taught how to cook rice, but rinsing the starch always seemed like a no brainer, I would get out of control bubbling over the couple times I skipped the step (no matter how full the pan was/how low the heat). Even when I want stickiness, I just add more water, but still rinse.

I miss cooking in a wok! Still looking for the perfect one! ❤️

Watching just one of Kenji's shows is like receiving a 4 year degree in everything. Amazing wealth of information. Can anyone weigh in on their experiences using the blow torch method to achieve the very elusive and coveted wok hei. Really want to give this a try. I also read Tim Chin's column at Serious Eats, and he recommends torching the veggies separately, and allowing them to flavor the rice after it is added to the wok. Apparently, there is a fine line between singeing the grains and burning them.

Thank you so much for the advice for folks without a gas range! I've always been afraid to try fried rice because of my electric range.

oh msn... I've never cooked with a wok before. Never really believed the exspanse of a difference it makes to the falvour. WOW Sat here at 3am with some amaaaazing egg fried rice I've made. Thanks Kenji. I love you, man. x
