We are seeing how Alex makes his Egg fried rice. He really did put crushed potato chips in it, I can only imagine if Jamie did the same thing!
P.S. I didn't have time to fix all the subtitles so if you want more of a laugh, turn them on! 😂

I think the difference is that Alex isnt presenting it as authentic Asian food, unlike Jamie. He presented it as his version of egg fried rice. Im not sure Id want to eat that, but I'd give it a try.

If Alex added the chips at the very end before plating, when they are still crisp, a lot of people would love it and chow it down without complaints. That's the only issue I had with this recipe.

@meneldal 11 месяцев назад

I would say getting roast chicken every week would be unusual, but getting roast chicken from the market like once a month is totally a thing for many people. Low effort for the parents, kids love it. Especially for parents that aren't great cooks, it is a pretty good option and healthier than like fast food.

Peas, carrot and runner beans in our home. I would have loved parsnip once in a while rather than those runner beans. Sometimes mashed carrot and swede was good.

@HuguesBalzac 10 месяцев назад

In Portugal Churrasco chicken comes with crisps (either packaged or fresh made depending on the quality of the Churrasco place). It wouldn't surprise me given the number of Portuguese who moved to France and looking at Alex if there wasn't possibly some influence there.

@emanuele332211 11 месяцев назад

As a frenchman I have something to say about the crisps, almost every apéro, which is basically what people do for like an hour or 2 before actually eating the real meal, you drink anything (mostly beer or wine), and eat olives,crisps and maybe salami or chorizo, so I think he meant he ate crisps during the apéro and not during the actual meal, which would make more sense than actually eating crisps during a meal, but he didn't specify so we don't really know

@1isaacmusic 11 месяцев назад

Been following Alex's endeavors for years, love his dedication. Not sure about this whole " best fried rice " trend tho, honestly. I've always considered it a dish that traditionally was made using whatever leftovers you had sitting around, Iron Chef style. Would be cool to see a fried rice competition between chefs, using surprise ingredients chosen at random

@ChefJamesMakinson 11 месяцев назад

that would be interesting!

@Maplecook 11 месяцев назад

I agree with you on the fried rice, 1isaacmusic. "Using up leftovers," is exactly what this dish was created for. There are no specific rules, and there's a lot of flexibility. People are overthinking this in the extreme. That said, when someone like Jamie Oliver comes along -- and f*cks it up so supremely that chili jam ends up on the ingredient list -- I can see why dudes like Uncle Roger jump all over that, and turn it into comedy.

@leparraindufromage366 11 месяцев назад

Asian cuisines have always embraced experimentation and fusion, I don't think the chili jam in Jamie Oliver's recipe was that much of a problem, it just adds some heat and sugar which could work well with something like soy sauce (fried rice with sweet soy sauce is a thing after all) but he did mess up the fried rice by adding water half-way through, and the tofu he just simply crumbled into the dish didn't sound appetizing at all, also didn't seem to have seasoned it at all apart from using the chili jam

@ramonesgirl1 11 месяцев назад

@ramonesgirl1 11 месяцев назад

@@leparraindufromage366you apparently don't understand who uncle Rodger is. His name is Nigel he's a comedian Uncle Rodger his character. Is joking with Jamie Oliver trying to get a back-and-forth with him. He did the same with Chef Ramsay and they are the best of friends now. I do have a problem when people make Asian Cuisine and claim it to be authentic and then you stuff that's not authentic. Jamie Oliver is the health advocate in England specially with children so his recipes tend to be on the healthier side. But it would be hilarious if he likes slapback at the character of Uncle Rodger and said oh yeah well this is blah blah blah it would be funny. And it would raise awareness for Jamie's cause. I like authentic Asian Cuisine and I prefer it done the way it's supposed to be done. So regardless of anybody having different preferences because of course everybody does authentic is always better to me. You should check out Uncle Rogers it's hilarious he makes fun of everybody as the character of Uncle Rodger. As I said his real name is Nigel and he's Asian comedian who is hilarious one of my favorites. I hope you don't think I was knocking your opinion I think everybody's opinion is valid. But these days so many people take offense at comedians it is killing comedy again I don't mean you. Have a great day checkup Uncle Roger's Channel hilarious! Bear videos where Nigel explains his character of Uncle Rodger. If you do cooking the traditional way in the way he likes him he calls you Uncle but if you don't you're still nephew he does make some off-color jokes and then he'll turn to the camera with a straight face and say sorry children. Yes the character of Uncle Rodger is well-developed and hilarious. Thank you so much for reading this have a great day

@goodlearnerbadstudent756 11 месяцев назад

Not common to my understanding, but its not unheard for some restaurants' fried rice to have some kind of crispy fried(like deep fried?) rice grains in fried rice. I honestly wouldn't hate potato crisps in fried rice in principle, but i do agree with James point that its likely the crisps' texture will either ruined the texture of the fried rice in practice or be ruined itself. Maybe other kinds of fried potato bits might work? Also, a James and Alex collab would be HYPE!

Hey, French person here ! What Alex calls Roast chicken and crisps would be more akin to a lunch were everyone eats whatever they want from lots of dishes, and it would always include roast chicken, crisps, salad (can be a pasta salad, rice salad, veggie salad, potato salad) and most importantly bread. From my family we would do those meals and there would always be radishes, cherry tomatoes, julienned carrots and cucumber, and some dips like tzatziki or humous ! I'd say the salad and the chicken are the real components of the meal, not really the crisps, but i can see why uncle roger would make a joke out of that situation haha !

@Herr_U 11 месяцев назад

Crisps served with roast chicken (preferable when it have had time to cool to room temp or lower (fridge)) when the chicken is turned into strips is actually a very nice meal; pairs well with some tomatoes (cocktail or wedges), twist of lemon, and optionally a salad. For bread to go with it a humble baguette is highly recommended. Also is a great picnic food, or just a way to get rid of leftover chicken from the day before. (If doing it as a picnic it is great in that you can pick up everything at a supermarket en-route - so it can be thought of as the fast-food version of roast chicken as well) (Used to have it now and then as a kid (in sweden) - was my favorite chicken dish up until I got introduced to east-asian food)

Potato chips do tend to have msg in them. Plus for a chinese style egg fried rice it is a better choice than any wet ingredient. For a Singapore fried ride, the chilly jam would have been okay, it is already creamy and full of curry and spices that a spoon of jam would barely make a difference in the wetness.

I highly recommend watching the whole series, especially the last video where he tries to show a way to replicate a method for those that don't have access to a wok. I do that cast iron pan method. It's how I've been doing my fried rice ever since. I have a very large wok that I found in my parent's storage and 1) it doesn't fit on my stove/range and 2) it's round bottom and mine is glass top electric and 3) there's no handle, it is the 2 metal grip style and that makes me nervous about burning myself. I'm currently trying to find a workaround. I have a propane/natural gas burner that we use for deep frying turkeys outside for thanksgiving and I'm planning to try using that if I can get a way to boost the height (currently a bit lower than waist high) or figure out a way to do it on either my charcoal or gas grill.

That's a lot of work for making egg fried rice. Seeing his notes while learning its theory looks like he's doing rocket science. I know you said Alex is a perfectionist but still, I think what he did is too much. I commend him though for creating his own wok station, however, its missing the running water. And in fairness, he seasoned his wok perfectly as you can see the color had already darkened. The way he handled the wok while making the fried was also good. He didn't add msg but if you think about it, adding the crushed potato chips is like adding msg to it. In my opinion, Alex's fried rice is not bad but it could have been better.

I watched Alex's videos more couple years ago and i think he does these cool in depth videos of what really makes the dish a dish. Like, i've been perfecting my dumpling making for the past 5 years now and i finally, after lots of experimentation of different things, managed to nail down the perfect filling. Now i'm on a quest of good dough making. I think these in depth videos give a good insight of where to focus your energy on. Like....if 90% of X dish's flavor comes from the sauce, you don't really need to focus on making 'good' chicken but perfect your sauce. Like bang-for-buck kind of thing. Put effort of where it matters the most and i think Alex really wants to find what matters most in a dish. Once you've figured that out, you can actually be much more efficient in terms of delivering a good dish with the least amount of effort.

honestly when uncle roger mention about jamie oilver i was kind of hoping that he were mention it again because i watch uncle roger because oh his entertainment laughter and his reaction makes you want to come back for more , after watching this video i can tell that uncle roger was going easy on Alex , only because that i know that alex is a hard working perfectionist of his unique style

Few years back drove through France on side roads - most villages seemed to have rotisserie chicken stalls particularly at weekends. Don't remember them doing roast potatoes, brussels sprout and roast parsnips though so crisps might be good source of carbs that require no cooking.

Chef, you should make a video on your idea of a perfectly balanced salad. So people don't go buying dressings.

Oh Chef James. The Brussel sprouts and parsnip remark - I felt that childhood pain. But perhaps your father didn't cook the heck out of them like my mom. You can take the mother out of England but you can't take the English cooking out of the mom. ❤

he cooked them prefect but when you have them again and again and again as a kid it gets very old.

@babavee100 29 дней назад

in France (south) where i live, chips are served with game. Pheasant, wild boar jugged hare, wild pigeon etc. Hence they are called game chips. We do of course make them ourselves if we want to remain authentic, but shop bought one's,warmed in the oven are ok 'at a pinch'. .

@havokmusicinc 11 месяцев назад

The chips are an interesting choice as they do add MSG to the dish. I would imagine they function similarly to crispy bonito flake on top of takoyaki in this case

@ChefJamesMakinson 11 месяцев назад

good point!

@sebastienriss5384 11 месяцев назад

I agree with roasted chicken, you serve roasted vegetables because you cook them at the same time. And for me it's mostly a winter dish for cheap meals.

@RoseDawsonworld 11 месяцев назад

I am going to be honest here.I think the michelin star chef was very generous with his evaluation. The fried rice didn't look bad but it was mediocre in my opinion. If Alex really wanted to impress he should have done a bit of research and added a suitable, maybe rarely or never used normally in egg fried rice recipes.What I really hated was the potato crisps. He .also added that green onion which was definitely not crispy by the time the dish was fully cooked . That must have been one soggy and wilted dish and a nightmare to eat. He also did not add garlic which might have saved the dish a bit taste wise . I don't think this recipe would have gotten even a score of 3 had the michelin star chef been given the chance to be completely honest

@Lykon Месяц назад

I live in Italy and the "Chinese" MSG I can buy here is actually produced in France. So you can indeed find MSG locally in France.

@professorbutters 11 месяцев назад

I thought it was fair for Alex to do *his version* of egg fried rice. Jamie Oliver didn’t make any disclaimer, and he added the chili jam early, where it would burn and necessitate adding water. Alex did what looked like an excellent egg fried rice and added his unusual ingredients at the end. I don’t know if I would like it: store rotisserie chicken can be very greasy. But I’d certainly try it.

In France you basically have French fries with anything, so it's not strange that he remembers chips (maybe home made) from his childhood

@alfredevaasili4745 5 месяцев назад

In many clips of uncle Roger must fancy a Kpop female group name Twice alot, Because he always uses them as a reference to audio up a specific word for his sentence. They've been doin a world tour around US, Australia and around europe this year.. and this March 2024 is in Vegas. Who knows you might even like them and variety of other kpop group like XG. You should check react to them as well and others and see why uncle Roger likes them. 😅

@zerotwo5221 9 месяцев назад

Potato Chips with rice is really good. I eat them together alot..(not like how Alex did though lol). the just salted or spicy ones are better though. My mom used to add peas and carrots on fried rice. It's actually quiet good.

It already has msg from the potato chips. I bet that's the whole point of powderizing it not for the texture but for the flavor. I agree of addinh it for the last part thought to make use it won't be soggy
