People/restaurants use day old rice because it's already made and costs less. It also saves rice. People work to hard to harvest rice to throw away. It's a very bad omen to throw away rice. Very bad. Very very bad.

this. the chef is master class period. the wisdom and knowledge he is sharing with the world makes us all better cooks. thank you from the bottom of my heart. like him, i think family is crucial and the most important thing in the world. glad to see you are all together.

I love that you include your family in the videos. It brings it from an educational video to a video of love and hospitality.

Your Father is a National Treasure. Thanks for documenting!

I love how these tips are friendly for home cooking and he never expects everyone to have the same skill level of cooking. If you can't toss it in the wok then use chopsticks with the wok spatula. There's never talking down of how other ppl cook. There is not the "one" method and I like that. I've used both leftover and fresh rice. Both come out great.

i usually use frozen rice and throw it directly into the hot pan with frozen vegetables, and that comes out great too. i've never tasted an asian master chef grandpa's fried rice though so i can't really say how it compares.

I love how you guys gives an alternate choices for ingredients just in case it's not available . I learned a lot of recipes that I can easily follow because of your channel.

Its really good that we keep being reminded by the question as he keeps asking his father even though he already asked in their other videos. Watching videos from them really improved my cooking significantly.

This is exactly how I do it after years for experimentation. If your wok / pan and fire is too small, you can remove the cooked egg and add it back at the end. Always stir at highest heat and use smallest fire when adding ingredients / seasoning. Instead of more cooking oil at the end, you can use sesame oil at the end for another layer of flavour. With much practice, you'll soon realise that the rice texture, fresh / overnight, does not matter. You'll be able to control or change the texture through the frying process. In the words of Yan Can Cook, It's stir fry and not stare fry, so keep moving. I use a well seasoned cheap carbon steel wok with rusted out round bottom seated on a large modified stainless steel mixing bowl on my biggest burner.

It was a privilege to learn from your father's experience. I really enjoyed watching this, thanks to you, your father and your family!

This might be the greatest cooking episode I’ve ever seen. And I can confess I’ve watched way too many hours of them for how few I’ve tried to create my own culinary greatness. But I at least can confidently say I know greatness when I see it.

I really like watching him interact with you，so warm❤I also really like Chef teaching,which are simple and easy to understand 💪🏻

Thank you Mr. Lau for sharing your recipe and technique and to your son for bringing it all together for us to watch! 🌞🌞🙏🙏

I feel like I am Chinese too. Such a wholesome way of showing how to cook. Thank you and your lovely dad for everything ❤ With love from Eastern Europe 😘

This was great to watch - I just love "Dad's" cooking skills and tips! Keep up the good work! ❤

With all my heart, I wish this video was up when I was teaching an online cooking class during the pandemic. I love the technique, languages, subtitles, everything. Keep it up!!

Thank you so much for sharing. Not only is your father a great chef, but also a great teacher!!

This was so great! Thank you so much. You answered many questions I had about making Fried Rice. Love this Channel. Thanks again!

The cooking wisdom and tech I learn from these videos are just priceless. My family eats good food because of this channel

Thank you so much.. loved how he explained the whole procedure.. Stay Blessed

I’m absorbing every second of this masterclass , your dad is a amazing , so much wisdom .

Looks amazing, as always. Wanted to keep coming up with ideas for possible new content. I’d really like to see shows on Chinese combinations of ingredients, even dishes. Something like what you’d have for dinner on a regular night. Fried rice, beef and broccoli, etc…. I also love the info on where and how your dad goes shopping. Love the episode guys!!

The shots of your family around the table make me want to be there. Your dad is a great cook and a great father.

That trick of sprinkling the green onions on the bottom of the bowl first - so simple but just...ingenious.

New subscriber here after the second video I've watched! OMG the details your dad adds to his instructions are a game changer. If it's fundamental to the process he shares it, regardless how minute. It's like he is teaching me personally rather than performing for the camera.

Been making fried rice for years since working in a thai restaurant kitchen have to say i picked up on some helpful tips to both improve the flavor and make the cooking process easier. Very well done!

I SO enjoy learning these techniques from your Dad, The Master Chef! He breaks things down So Very Simply, and gives us alternatives, if we don’t have a particular skill or ingredient. I’m so glad that I joined Canto Cooking Club!

THANKS SO MUCH, love your Dad, his cooking and all of your beautiful family! Can’t wait to make so many of these recipes! ❤❤❤❤

Tell your dad I appreciate him sharing his knowledge. I got my Shaoxing rice wine already and preparing panfried food like a champ! CornStartch is the goat ingredient. Im not eating outside anymore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is the best fried rice tutorial I have ever seen! Tried it tonight and the result was fantastic. Highly recommend this. Lots of great secret tips to get this dish just right ❤🎉

the final step of flipping bowl was amazing. Really made it much nicer. Loved it!

Thankyou both for your time and effort teaching me how to make better meals for my family, much appreciated.

It is lovely to see how you preserve this cooking knowledge.

My mom's fried rice is my favorite. Though the ingridients are just the rice, a bit of garlic and onions and seasonings, she still manages to make it delicious. But now that I'm and adult she doesn't cook that for me now, and so I vowed myself to be good at cooking fried rice. Always experimenting with ingredients and exploring new combinations. This video is so helpful. Though I have chosen a different path of making a delicious fried rice with little ingredients... or as I call it, "The poor man's fried rice"

Have to say this is by far more logical and precise than I've seen previously. All my fried rice attempts have been subpar previously due to the missing data you both provided. Thank you.

Lau is indeed a master at his trade. And as they say you can see the love he has whilst cooking which is the most secret of all ingredients.

The authentic way that every Cantonese mum, or dad, cooks egg fried rice. And with salted fish, yum! This video beats any fried rice videos I've seen hands down. And I like how Daddy Lau humbly says everyone has their own preference, but I still think his way is the best. And I really love listening to him speak Cantonese!

My 30 year old WOK hasn't been used in at least 15 years. I was (seriously) distraught when my husband tried to clean it, using Brillo metal soap scrub, telling me "I tried to get all the black off"... It's a wonder we didn't get a divorce(!!!) if you know, you know. It had such an unbroken, well-seasoned, perfect patina. I was heartbroken. Seeing the video, I'm breaking it out, restoring, seasoning, and visiting my local Asian market to get good rice, oil, and seasoning, and will start with some good fried rice! Enjoyed your video very much...

I'm having a power struggle with my roommate over my wok, and my cast iron in general. It's about to get heated.

Thank you for the recipe Mr. Lau❤️❤️❤️

I love dad's method. Let me try it first. 🥰

I also consider myself a master of fried rice. Some tips/differences: I use fresh garlic, ginger and onion. I use bacon fat to cook it for enhanced flavor. I use a mix of soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar or erythritol and MSG and pour it on the sides of the hot wok to cook out excess water and amp up the flavor before mixing it in. I usually use shrimp and add the left over shrimp liquid to add really nice shrimpy flavor. You can use cauliflower rice instead of or mixed in with regular rice to cut down the carbs/arsenic in rice. Add red chili flakes for a kick of spice or finish with sesame oil for a little nutty finish. P.S. Your dad is a G!

個人在家裡隨意炒飯時，用小火炒蛋後加隔夜飯，不用先抓散，直接用鍋熱加熱冷飯、和鍋鏟壓散米飯，力氣不夠可以適量加點油（千萬不能加水），當冷飯散開時，也就代表飯煮好了～

You don't even have to make the rice dry if you don't want to. It makes it easier to stir-fry, but it's hardly a requirement. I make fried rice all the time with fresh rice. The only time old rice is a requirement is if you're a heathen like me, who occasionally uses Japanese rice 😂

@3vil3lvis

You don't have to use day old rice, but the goal is lower moisture content. You can achieve this by spreading the rice out on a plate 1 inch thick and microwaving it for 6-7 minutes (may need to adjust the time depending on the power of your microwave).

I like the fact that you don't have to make it from the " 1 day old rice" just use less water in a fresh batch, however an important note is that even though the ratio is 1 to 1 the rice that your using has been washed so its wet.
