Rie's method of adding alcohol to everything she cooks still stands true.

Rie’s used pan looks better than my one month old pan...

2 Asians cooking fried rice without a wok

Rie: flips rice. Two grains of rice come out of the pan

Rie's technique is call "gold over silver" where as Alvin is using "silver over gold". It all comes down to when the eggs are cooked/added. Gold over silver is usually more technical when done in the pan, but Rie's hack of premixing egg and rice before hitting the pan is a nice workaround.

Alvin says he needs a lot of fried rice.

Alvin: I like a lot of rice

Alvin's version is called Yangchow fried rice in my country, that Chinese Sausage is the important part and I love it. He's right it's definitely sweet, not like any other sausages.

When Rie is explaining Japanese para para ... My brain instantly translates it into Indian name for it. The description was so perfect 😂

I see Rie in the thumbnail of making fried rice, my first thought was "ahh.. there's no way Rie will add some alcohol into her dishes, right? Since it's fried rice and it doesn't need alcohol"

"Treat every grain of rice like a steak"

Uncle Roger gonna be like :

Alvin uses MSG

Alvin: It has rice, eggs, lots of scallions, Chinese sausage, and sugar, salt, and MSG

“Cause it feels like i’m rich”

I'm going to use "para-para" to describe my fried rice from now on. Thank you Rie for teaching us Japanese words and phrases! Haha

I feel that Alvin's explanation is there in anticipation of being called out by Uncle Roger.

I made Rie's fried rice with a couple substitutions: shallots instead of onions and celery leaves instead of scallions (because I didn't have scallions). It was absolutely incredible. Super flavorful and succulent, not at all mushy or oily. I highly recommend it and I will 100% be making it again.
