Also boiling and draining rice can technically be safer, if the rice is sourced from certain areas with toxic materials. It's an interesting watch and would recommend!

Honestly, my mother in law was West Indian (from Trinidad). Her parents were Chinese, but there is also a strong East Indian food influence there as well. When she taught me to make fried rice, she said don't worry about ratios of rice. Just measure out your rice and put in ample water like your making pasta. Cook rice until al dente, drain well in a colander. Spread rice out on a paper lined table and allow to cool and dry off a bit before putting in the fridge uncovered over night. Oh and if I didn't rinse that rice at least 5 times, I got whacked with a wooden spoon, lol. She also used an ingredient called Vetsin which is msg. Can only find it in Trinidad, or probably main land China. I loved her fried rice and could never make mine taste like hers. RIP Lucy.

I am from the Philippines, and we generally call MSG here as vetsin. I thought all the while that it was just a Filipino thing until you mentioned it. A little Googling showed that it is from a Chinese food company, Tien Chun Ve-Tsin, a maker of MSG. LOL, we even call Ajinomoto as vetsin. Anyway, best rice for fried rice is leftover rice. You can never go wrong with it.

@thedisconnectedwife4165 Год назад
@@Jinkypigs My point was that she called it Vetsin. Nothing else.That was the name on the little square tin. I didn't really know what it was as I had never heard the word before. All I know is that she used it in her fried rice. Vetsin is more of a powder form like baking powder/soda. She could only find "vetsin" when she went to home to Trinidad. Not here in American markets. If I would have known then that it was just a powder form of msg, I just would have run to the store and got some Accent. Like I said, I just didn't know what it was back then.

So glad to see this. Unfortunately, in the UK the traditional rice cooking method is just as described in the video. I guess people think it should be cooked like pasta and drained. Over the years, I have experimented with water/rice ratios and settled on 1.4 to 1 (water to rice) before moving to the knuckle method. Now I have a rice cooker (the envy of my Asian partner as it beeps, slow cooks and makes cakes). Even then I sometimes have to add more or less water once I know how the batch of rice I have cooks best. I have tried so many times to get my 88 year old mother to change her rice cooking method, but she just says "I'm too old to change". There again, I learnt to cook because she couldn't 🙂. If ever the waiter asks how my meal is and I reply "just like my mama used to make" it is not a compliment. For info, I just checked just-eat (similar to uber eats) to check the price of egg-fried rice. Now, these prices carry a premium as just-eat take a hefty commission, but the majority of prices are between £3.50 and £4 with the lowest £3.20 and the highest £7.50
@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790
It might just be the Indian/South Asian influence in the UK, as opposed to Chinese/East Asian influence in the US, that has resulted in different techniques I'm from eastern India, and everybody I know in real life drains their rice (or cooks it "pasta style"). We even have a special cooking vessel for rice, that makes it easier to drain the damn water. In my language we even have a specific phrase that means "draining the starchy water out from cooked rice". (মাড় গালা in Bengali) The "pasta method" is the most authentic method of cooking rice I know of! Your mom may be a terrible cook, but her rice cooking technique isn't the problem (at least if she's cooking Indian style long or medium grain rice)

@@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790 Good to know. My family in Spain and my family in France also cook the rice adding more water and draining it (I think it's the usual way of cooking white rice in those countries or, at least, in Spain). In fact, I didn't know the other method, so Uncle Roger's reaction surprised me, but it was interesting nonetheless.

I'm Asian and cook rice using neither Finger nor a Cup. I can tell already in my eyes how much water to put in to match in the quantity of the rice. And if the rice is going the wrong way through cooking, we never stir it and instead we sprinkle some salt on top of the pot - This only applies when we cook our rice over burning wood or stove because not all people in our country can afford rice cookers or having access to electricity.)

rice in SE Asia usually comes dirty (even in some big cities). shops sell it in big sacks by the road. There is dust, insects and small twigs. It is a totally different thing from what you buy in Europe. you HAVE TO wash it, even if you want to keep the starch (you simply rinse it less times). And there's LOTS of varieties to choose from, depending if you want more or less starch and depending on the dish you want to make. Rice in Europe is washed already. Only a couple varieties to choose from and it's almost odorless and tasteless. In Cambodia, if you leave cooked rice out for a few hours it WILL STINK. That doesn't happen in Spain. I can leave my rice outside overnight and while it won't be safe to eat, it doesn't smell bad. I miss eating rice in Cambodia so much, because just by making rice, the whole kitchen would smell (similar to making bread). It's one of those things you wouldn't understand unless you've experienced it yourself (like REAL bread, not what you eat now). I'm 50 and I still remember the smell of fresh bread on the bakery near my house (they closed down 40 years ago).

@@ChefJamesMakinson As Indonesian people. Fried rice is our breakfast menu hhehehe. Asian people is always wash the rice before. 2 times to wash the rice. In Asia, Rice in big sack is dirty. So we always wash the rice. And yeah, like uncle Roger said, if we cook rice in a pan, we use the index finger which is knuckle method to measure how much water in the pan. But if we use magic com, just use the measuring cup from magic com. Rice two cup, water two cup. It's usually Indonesian people as Asian cooking rice. And I don't drain the rice

Very informative reaction video 🙂👌 You're right, Uncle Roger failed to mention anything about the egg. The eggs aren't usually cooked separately from the rice and they're supposed to be mixed with the rice, not looking fluffy and clumpy like that. For egg fried rice, we'd want the egg to flavor the rice as well. What she made there was fried rice with dry overcooked scrambled eggs. She should've just made an omelette instead. Uncle Roger also talked about her not using MSG but I didn't even see her use any salt 😶

One thing to remember is that fried rice varies within East and South East Asia. People grew up with different types of fried rice and have their own preferences (sometimes quite strong ones too). Even peas probably made it’s way into fried rice in several places in Asia via Hong Kong. Homestyle and restaurant fried rice are also different and so the line of authenticity can be debated to a certain degree.

I've been in Thailand for 20 years. Egg fried rice with different proteins (pork, chicken, shrimp) costs around $2 per serving in a somewhat clean food stall. High end restaurants can cost about $7 or more for about 2 servings. But the daily minimum wage is like $10 so there's that price difference. We definitely will not pay 8 quid for just fried rice with egg. Also in this video, no soy sauce, or even salt! That will definitely taste like nothing but onion and ginger.

Mostly because Ginger is not a common ingredient for fried rice and peas it’s just a preference.

Oh finally you made a reaction to this. I agree Auntie Hersha's fried rice is not as bad compared to the one made from your previous episode. However, we don't normally put ginger on fried rice because its flavor is too strong for this dish. But I'm not saying that this is wrong. Also, adding MSG is not really a MUST for this dish. It still depends on the preference of the one preparing it. Your reaction when Uncle Roger stopped in the middle of his ranting is priceless. I enjoyed watching this video.

So a Small Pot might be 1/4 Cup "Water + Rice" and 1/4 Cup Water; but in a Medium Pot 1/4 Cup "W+R" and 1/2 Cup Water. Or Large servings might be 1 Cup "W+R" and 1/2 Cup Water, but in a Bigger Pot 1 Cup "W+R" and 1 Cup Water.

I have a similar rice cooking technique, but even lazier. I just boil it in a big saucepan of water, to both wash off starch and cook it, then drain part way through and let it steam to finish cooking. The trouble is as a home cook I've not tasted perfect rice to compare to, seems as good as a takeaway rice though. I have used a rice cooker but it tends to come out as a cake. And I don't know if that's the rice cookers fault!

About 4 years ago I bought a HUGE bag of Jasmine rice from a Asian supermarket, at the time I was going through 1kg of rice in 1-2 weeks so thought it would be a good investment as it was far better quality than supermarket specially budget range rice and worked out the same, I did have mixed results of either it came it excellent or stuck together and was sticky but that was as I just chucked it in saucepan, added boiling water and cooked for 10-15 minutes until the rice was soft, in the end my phase of eating rice was over and it sat in my kitchen for over 3 years until I threw it out when I moved. I think one time I made in pressure cooker it came out amazing though! The main issue I get with cooking in a pan is that I follow the 1 cup/mug to 1.5 cup/mugs of water but the water boils away almost instantly so I have to add a little more. That way I am not draining it after but the rice does seem mushy but can never get it perfect.

Hey Chef! So, there is a very specific reason for boiling the rice she used. It's done a lot in Indian culture to basmati rice. Basmati rice specifically has been known to contain very high levels of arsenic. I saw a comment about the Adam Ragusea video, the poster is correct and I saw it too, but that is the specific chemical they are washing away. There is also a video you should see where he visits Auntie Hersha and make egg-fried rice at her house. They talk about that video and she says that what BBC instructed her to do is to make the fried rice that way. Uncle Roger is too funny. 😆😆😆

It's really not that bad. It's a bit chaotic, especially with the rice, but it still turned out fine. The big thing that makes this video a headscratcher, is that it's suppsoedly an "easy" Egg Fried Rice recipe. The "established" method, as in, using day old rice, is simply way easier, it only requires a bit more planning in that you need to cook some rice a day ahead. This combination of using too much water, straining the rice, and then washing it afterwards, is needlessly convoluted for such a simple dish. Still, in my opinion, Hersha's recipe is a really good starting point for beginners. A great foundation that you can then incorporate your personal note into once you're more confident.

Two things for Uncle Roger: 1. That not colander. That is a strainer. If she had done all that in a colander, the whole mess would have dropped through the holes and gone down the drain. I'm guessing Uncle Roger's ancestors would have rejoiced. 2. That not induction stove. The pot Hersha used for the rice looked like it was anodized aluminum. The skillet she scrambled the egg in looked like non-stick coated aluminum. Neither of those pans would have worked on an induction cook top because induction only works on iron or steel.

Will definitely refer to this video if I screw up cooking rice (which happens sometimes when I don't use a rice cooker lol) PS: In asian cultures, its common practice to measure the water using the 1st knuckle like you said. BUT, this somehow doesn't work for me (even though my mom uses this method), so it took a some trial & error, but I now have a go-to water:rice ratio and stick to 1 brand of rice for consistency (just like I do w/ pasta, I mainly use De Cecco and never switched brands 😅)

Interesting trick with the boiling water, I’ll remember that. You are amused at Uncle Roger’s rant, so I will make a counter rant about Induction: I very much disagree with Uncle Roger on induction; it is simply the best type of stove. Gas stoves are inefficient, most of the energy is heating the room, so your AC works harder and wastes more energy, it is responsible for indoor pollution that harms your health (even if you do have a vent, they usually aren’t that good unless you get an expensive one. If you want to test how good your vent is, use turmeric in your cooking and see how far the smell spreads around the house while the vent is turned on), they needlessly emit CO2 which is a greenhouse gas, and about 4% of the methane being extracted from the ground gets leaked into the atmosphere (and methane is 28 times worse than CO2 for climate change, so that 4% becomes significant), and having gas in your home is a fire hazard. Induction is much more efficient, safer, cleaner, better for the environment, and you can control the heat perfectly. The only downsides is that you can’t use aluminium, copper, or clay pots without an adapter (flat piece of steel with a handle). I have a commercial 3.5Kw induction wok station in my kitchen (bought it used from a restaurant that closed because of COVID) and it is a powerhouse that gets that wok hei effect perfectly. I guess you could tell that I love induction stoves a lot, been using it exclusively for over a decade and would never go back to gas.
@ChefJamesMakinson
@ChefJamesMakinson Год назад
I have used all types of stoves throughout my years of cooking professionally. induction does have many benefits and economically it is much more efficientI still. However, I still prefer gas stoves to any other type, as they are much more flexible to cook with different methods than having to use a specific type of material to be able to create the heat. But for many people that wish just to have something more efficient at home, they are good choice.
@tokiomitohsaka7770
@tokiomitohsaka7770 Год назад
@@ChefJamesMakinson I respect that, and I recognise that in professional kitchens, being able to use aluminium pans (which not only conduct heat really well, but being very light is an advantage), and copper pans (which are the best heat conductors) are a big advantage.

@tokiomitohsaka7770 Год назад
@@radityakazuto Most homes in Japan have a gas stove and even little gas grills (because most homes didn’t have a full sized oven), I didn’t even know that induction existed for most of my life. Also, most people work too many hours, which is why a lot of people choose to eat outside (and also you can find really good foods for cheap). Families with kids typically have one parent stay at home while the parent with the higher income focuses on career, and the stay at home parent would cook often. But that’s not relevant in my case, I have been living in Europe for 15 years now, and I have discovered induction about a decade ago, I did not know what it was back then. Induction is really good at precisely controlling heat, even slightly better than gas, unlike electric (non-induction) stoves or using solid fuels which suck at heat control. The only advantage of gas is that you can use aluminium, copper, and clay pots without an adapter plate. For restaurants, where you cook all day, having a lightweight pan from aluminium is an advantage, or copper for the absolute highest thermal conductivity, but at home you don’t do it all day, so there is no reason to not use steel, cast iron, or a hybrid pan/pot (as long as you can stick a magnet to the bottom, it will work with induction). I cook every day, and since my favourite pans and pots are either cast iron (enamelled and raw), carbon steel, or stainless steel, I absolutely lose nothing from using induction. It is powerful (you can measure it by how quickly it can take a litre of water from room temperature to boiling with the same pot) and very easy to use. It is also extremely easy to clean.
