This video isn’t about Egg Fried Rice.

While not Egg Fried Rice, France has "The French bread law". The law states that traditional baguettes have to be made on the premises they're sold and can only be made with four ingredients: wheat flour, water, salt and yeast. They can't be frozen at any stage or contain additives or preservatives, which also means they go stale within 24 hours.

I just visited the place a month ago to try the fried rice. Although his apprentice cooked for us instead of himself, the rice was really impressive. It was like watching a live food show. In addition to the $36 charge for the fried rice, you also need to order about $100 of other dishes to be able to order the fried rice. This rule upset a lot of visitors and left bad comments on the Chinese Yelp. However, you have a top chef cook for you for about half an hour and only for one dish. The cost to me seems pretty reasonable. The other dishes are also pretty good and really worth a try if you have a chance to go there. Another point is that you need to have an above-average taste to really appreciate the fried rice. Someone with heavy taste buds probably won't like it.

You didn't fully dehydrate the rice. Not only does he use old rice, which is dehydrated by the fridge.. after he fully cooked the egg into it, he continued to dry the rice in the wok. The soup only rehydrates it to a "fresh cooked" like texture. You need lots of heat or *really* old rice for this.

@Mizuki312

6 ай бұрын

One of the secrets is to put the fire very high (and better if you use a wok as in the video, because a wok lets you cook at a VERY high temperature without the food sticking to it). The water in the soup evaporates as soon as it touches the wok but the solids and flavors in the broth stay on the rice. That's why it doesn't get soggy.

@atheisthumanist1964

6 ай бұрын

​@@CreamAleFully dehydrated rice would need to be cooked again. Although a refrigerator does remove a small amount of moisture, it is not a dehydrator. The soup is used to infuse the umami flavours, used in the stock, into the rice. Nothing to do with rehydration or texture.

Use much higher heat under your wok (medium high to high), so the stock evaporates quickly. Add 1/4 cup of stock at a time and constantly toss over the heat.

20 years making fried rice and that wok looks like it has seen just as many. Its so well used and seasoned that nothing is sticking to it. Sometimes older pans are the best and worth maintaining. This technique with the soup though, wow. I've never seen it before either and given the heat of the pan, the constant tossing, and the slow pour means you can coat the rice evenly and the liquid burns off fast enough to prevent it from getting soggy while still leaving all that umami flavor. I'm drooling over this.

bro got mad of jamie oliver placing spring onion first but totally fine when this guy does it(bro did a nod of approval).

Nigel, yet ANOTHER AWESOME review!!❤❤❤❤

10:37 that's was me during college, eating rice with fried rice

11:01 plot twist: his wife is spring onions

Yes would love to see you cook this rice. 🇨🇦

Yes!!! I want to see Uncle Roger make this at home!!! when i was a kid my FA would use leftover fried rice with a little bit of water to soften, but never soup like this Uncle Chef.

I made the Yang Zhou Chao fan based on this video recipe. It works and my girl friend love it. The secret of the rice not getting soggy is "high temperature" and "continuously tossing". As result, water in soup will be evaporated and the taste will be left in rice. You can see the water evaporated during the cooking. The rice is just nice, not too wet or too dry, can feel eating dish even though it is rice. Highly recommended.

Bro was pretty creating MSG from scatch with that soup technique.... genius. Man used the entire pot of soup for the rice and it came out perfect somehow

A lot of the base ingredients have natural MSG to them such as the mushrooms, shrimp, chicken broth, and ham.

You know this dude is balance out the egg and rice when punching it. Like literally balance it as if he already soaked the rice with eggs. That is skill. He used broth to balance out the rice taste. Since the wok gonna be hot and the way he did already dries back out the rice. Now all the taste already soaked in it and perfectly texture. This is some serious skills the whole thing. It cost that much it is entirely worth it.

After seeing this I understand why it costs that much. Basically you are paying for all the years he has acquired the skills to make this dish perfect! If I tried to make this dish it would be a soggy disaster and the rice would be splattered all over the kitchen 😂😂😂😂!

I don’t know how this got recommended to me but it was one of the funniest things I watched all day.

The soup technique kind of reminds me of how you cook risotto with wine and broth, gradually adding while you toss and stir! Never would have imagined to do it for fried rice though!!!

I legit found this so impressive that I showed my mom, who is also Chinese. I found it so surprising that my mom understood the references and laughed at some of the jokes. Uncle roger can make any person laugh regardless of race or culture

Never thought i would see Uncle Roger learn anything new, applause for this chef

Uncle Roger's quick to judge but also highly appreciative of fine and proper technique, the dad jokes are a plus

This is my first time seeing this method as well but it absolutely works. Notice he only oils the wok once before the egg and rice go in. He doesn't use more oil so all that is dried up/soaked into the egg/rice to keep the rice from getting soggy. Oil in the rice repels water, therefor resisting the broth to make it easier to steam, and season the rice further. Basically a interesting way to get the umami flavor from the broth without making the rice soggy, and streaming it in the process.

Thanks for the breaking the cooking method down to mere mortals like me. I am assuming that you need a decent level of heat to keep the wok hot throughout the process. Does that make sense?

lol i love how uncle roger just add stuff that the people in the video didnt say into the dub lol such as the jamie oliver thing and the swear words, the people originally didnt say those LMAO

I just know that I'll be a forever niece; the last time I made fried rice, I not only used carton egg, I also made it in a saucepan...AND burnt the rice to the bottom. Also, the character break in the bloopers was just great.

This is insane. I never thought I would see someone pour soup into fried rice. It takes serious skill and experience to just non-chalantly dump that much soup into your rice without turning it into congee.

​@@tkjhoit takes high power period, you would have trouble doing this on a home gas stove - technically maybe you could but you'd probably want to reduce the broth even more and go very slowly It is actually possible to get this kind of power with electric heat though, especially induction. It does limit you a bit though because you don't have any heat anymore if you lift the wok and you need a stove that isn't going to just immediately shut off on you if you briefly lift the wok But anyway yeah, actually home induction stoves are capable of more power than home gas stoves. If you have access to both you can just time how quickly you can boil water on either at max heat. I guarantee the induction will boil the water much faster

@@tkjho yeah of course, there's no limit to how much power you can get out of either gas or electric if you have the money to spend (especially considering how much more it might cost to make it safe to operate) I just like countering the myth that you need a gas stove to get high heat, because it's just not true at all, gas is not inherently better and induction alleviates the issue of electric elements taking a while to warm up before they transfer heat. Still a lot of home cooks believe gas is better

The Broth evaporation technique is actually very common on cooking Mie Jowo or Nasi Goreng Jowo (Javanese Fried Noodles or Javanese Fried Rice). It's the same ingredients as regular fried noodles and rice but using the same technique this Chef demostrated Usually Mie Jowo vendors prepared the broth before they began selling. The broth is very simple too, just chicken and quite huge amount of sauteed garlic. And unlike common Fried Noodles, the Vegetables are raw and then cooked until all of the water from the broth almost fully evaporates, leaving a highly concentrated chicken and garlic caramelized flavour on the vegetables and shredded chicken. And for the fried rice, using the same broth but pouring it slowly like the chef does here The end product is a fried noodles that has this slightly wet but insanely rich in garlic and chicken flavour And the fried rice is never clumpy and the soy sauce is always coating every part of the rice almost perfectly. Honestly the best form of Fried Noodles and Rice I have ever tried
