@Braden Trice you use the sesame oil after if you want the flavor and for the shine it gives the rice. Otherwise just use any regular oil. Also the more garlic, the better. All cooked rice in the world should all just be garlic rice haha. Also I use a little bit of oyster sauce instead of soy sauce (J Lou prefers this version also), the umami is insane!
@Braden Trice I cook everything in vegetable oil or fat from the meat. Then when it's almost done, have a finish of sesame oil. Plate and top with scallions
Braden Trice vegetable oil to cook with and particularly peanut oil if you’re not allergic, it smells so good with the garlic and onions. Real asian sesame oil is for seasoning, I’ve seen other people’s ‘cooking’ sesame oil and it’s not the same thing at all

Start with the earliest egg-fried rice recipes from Uncle Roger. The one with Jamie Oliver is a great place to start. Also his ramen. To get a great take on the original video and Roger's commentary on it, go to Chef James Makinson's commentary on the Roger videos. You will be very entertained throughout whether you watch any of the originals or not, and Makinson points out very useful tips and explanations, even including where Uncle Roger may have been off on something or where there are different interpretations to things. That's the perfect triumvirate for a very entertaining watch -- original, Uncle Roger, and Makinson's take on Uncle Roger plus original. Thank me later.
Can't wait to hear Uncle Roger's response, I can already hear him yelling "Why you no use Wok?" Especially when you say the pea's are difficult.. "This why you use Wok! Pea's go no where!" XD
The flat cooking surface is good for cooking and cutting at the same time, but it should have a raised edge -to keep the oil or peas from rolling off. And some Asian fried rice do not use soy sauce; it's just salt. So, you won't see the brown color. but overall, it looks like a delicious dish. But Uncle Roger would not approve.
Uncle Roger: Chopsticks - Approve. Avocado oil - Aiyaaa, why white people try and put avocado in everything... Siracha - Approve. Much better than chili jam Jamie Oliver used Next day rice - Approve. Salt? Aiyaaa, where is the MSG?!

Actually, this recipe is quite impressive, from a Chinese perspective. Although Uncle Roger is obsessed with wok, I've had fried rice on flat tops in China (it was quite popular in some restaurants). And some Chinese cook does mix sauces. Some sauces need to go in at different steps to let them sit in for different periods of time. But in this dish, I don't think it makes much difference. Guess I might be the only one reviewing this recipe, but I wanna say that's a good one to follow if you want to try egg fried rice.
Mistakes made: 1. Calling chopsticks - the sticks. 2. Not using Wok so no Wok Hay 3. Egg looks like a dried piece of paper, cooked not with enough oil. 4. As another commentator mentioned: No MSG. 5. Turning Chinese fried rice into hibachi fried rice. Correct moves: 1. Used overnight rice! 2. Used garlic! 3. Used soy sauce (though he calls it regulation soy...) 4.

@@RighteousBuns When you see the chefs flipping the rice in the wok over a flame, the fire cooks the oil and sugar in the dish causing chemical changes to occur in order to create new flavor compound (maillard reaction). This what people refer to when they say "wok hei," or "breath of the wok." It's a smoky flavor you can't really get in a home kitchen unless you have high output burners. Too much sauce can also inhibit the process.

@@mikey2111 can't agree with you more. One time hit yeah kinda funny but the more you see it the more you can see dude is annoying and seeking attention and that accent is just cream of the crop of annoying.
I would've started with with pork belly and use the rendered fat for the veges and cook the eggs next to last. Eggs cook super fast so there's no reason to cook it way ahead of time and let it get cool and rubbery.
I can approve that, it is quite common to griddle fry rice especially on those festival catering stalls, it serves the same purpose as to promote evaporation to crisp up the rice ever so slightly.
Uncle Roger be like : *Haiyah this is Japanese fried rice not Chinese fried rice but still Asian fried rice but where is the MSG you need the MSG for the flavour*
Fiesty Redd actually, 鉄板焼き, cooking on that iron plate, is a Japanese vendor stuff. And thick soy with Sriracha makes it sweet, so it’ll also taste like so called Japanese Chinese Cuisine(中華料理). As a Taiwanese, I can say that isn’t chinese enough but that looks pretty good.
Eggs should be mixed with the rice while still semi runny, the idea being being it coats the rice. You don’t have to use thick soy which is usually sweet. To avoid watery rice “fry” the soy sauce on the side to evaporate excess moisture. You got the scallions right! 😊 Maybe I should do a fried rice video to see if I get Uncle Roger’s stamp of approval.
This is very similar to how my grandma made it. But she used regular bacon instead of thicker pork belly. Looks good to me. You had me going with the garlic, waiting so long to bring it out. Lol
Dear Sam, This is a classic recipe in my house that my grandmother taught me. we are a traditional Taiwanese family. Break the rice up in the morning by hand (it will literally break itself up easily). Cut up the ingredients (onions, garlic, etc) Turn on pan, heat up oil, and fry the meat first. If you are using something really oily such at pork belly, You can use less oil. Set the fried ingredients side. Mix up eggs and fry it only on one side, When it is cook on one side but still wet on the other side, place the broken up rice onto the wet side of the egg. (this helps with coating the rice) Next, add the fried ingredients into the fried rice. Lastly is the seasoning (yes, this is last) season with salt and pepper. If you use wet ingredients for seasoning, it will mess with the moisture and make it too wet so if you are gonna add something like soy sauce or what not, make sure to fry longer to compensate. This is a very traditional recipe that anyone can do in a classic old Asian household. please give it a try someday. : )
I don't think there is such a thing as "traditional" fried rice. I'm just part Chinese, grandma was full Chinese and so was my extended family, but their relatives got here like 200 years ago so I can't claim any recipes I learned as "traditional", but we did make and have fried rice basically every week. For us it was just whatever left over meats and veggies we had at the end of the week, and we always had left over rice so it was just something mom would whip up after work real quick to get rid of all the clutter in the refrigerator. I think that's how most fried rice is made in households. We also always used saved up bacon grease to make it. Our method was completely different though. We'd fry up the meats and veggies first then set aside, then we'd fry the dry old rice until it just started to turn golden then we'd add a few splashes of soy sauce and fry until everything was crispy and brown. Then make a well at the bottom of the pan and crack your eggs in and do a wet scramble. When the eggs are about 50/50 solid yet runny that's when everything would get stir fried together. This makes it so you get actual bits of egg but also rice with the egg cooked on, this kinda spreads the flavor throughout every single bite. Then toss in the pre-cooked meat/veg, stir fry it all together for a couple minutes, sprinkle a little sesame oil, throw on some green onions if you go it, and you're good to go. Takes like 10 minutes and prevents food waste. When I make it I basically do the same thing I just add more seasoning than my mom would, I like a lot of white pepper, chili paste/oil, and MSG. One of my favorite meals growing up.
Fried rice is the morning rice meal... it's the rice that wasn't eaten for supper the night before and left to get cold in the rice cooker. (Living in the Philippines, with my Filipino my wife and family.) For us, it is mostly garlic egg fried rice with what ever is left over. It's a clean up the leftovers meal. And yes, we use a wok. We use palm or canola oil. No MSG but salt and soy sauce. (It's not a political thing, it just isn't used.) Fried rice is an Asian thing. So if one wants to claim there is such a thing as "Chinese Egg-Fried Rice" I beg to suggest that it's probably just not so. Each family has their own tradition of how to cook it beyond the basics of the old cooked rice, oil, egg, and maybe the wok.
I love Sams vids and even though his search for recipes on his site is hard to navigate I enjoy the recipes; However, I made this fried rice and followed the recipe exactly, unfortunately, because the recipe on Sam's site is NOT the recipe here. Specifically 4 and 5. Sam doesn't mix the raw egg with the rice nor does he mix the eggs, soy and sesame oil!!!! This was an absolute mess!!!! The recipe also leaves out the garlic. Fridge Fried Rice Directions 1. Heat pan or wok on medium heat and cook bacon until just getting crispy - remove bacon and drain on paper towels but leave a couple tablespoons of grease in the pan 2.Add vegetables and stir fry until just softened, about 5 minutes 3.Add bacon and rice - stir with spatula constantly, breaking up pieces 3-5 minutes until hot 4.Beat eggs in a small bowl and stir in soy & sesame oil

You could add the sauce right at the edge of the rice and let it bubble up and steam for a bit before you incorporate it into the rice to avoid making the rice mushy with moisture and to give it an authentic edge of the wok flavor, but I guess it really depends on your grill/griddle.
As if it's going to taste any different, idiots. The only way egg tastes good anyway is if the yoke isn't fully cooked, so your egg is probably too dry as well. Try loco moco.

Uncle Roger: Why you no use MSG? MSG is king of flavoor.. Why you no use Peanut oil? Aunty Helen use avocado oil with her dark heart...
Haiyaaa
Dead 😂
Uncle Rodger gonna suicide
Disrespect Uncle Rodger's ancestors. No MSG hay.
Why so much vegetable.. vegetable taste like sad
Egg is over cooked too... I can already hear Uncle Roger saying “this man do hibachi” 😂
Yeah I noticed that asap
That’s not a bad idea for a video....
Uncle Ray Approve! But I'm not sure about Uncle Roger
I specifically scroll through the comments to look for you now.
Haiiya!
Bro stop
Oh it's you! You make some of the better Lady Gaga piano covers.
Wow didn't know you were into cooking shit
As an asian, I think this is my first time of 20 years in existence, i have ever heard of avocado oil.
Rookie.
“Egg look like shooo leatha” -uncle roger prolly
Its a bit overcooked indeed
That egg is killing me
I would've started with with pork belly and use the rendered fat for the veges and cook the eggs next to last. Eggs cook super fast so there's no reason to cook it way ahead of time and let it get cool and rubbery.
VLX11387 yeah he definitely fucked up with the egg
Uncle roger gonna be like “hiyaaaaa , where your MSG, where your wok , you need hot wok for it to get Wok Hei”
Wok hei is flavor
@@Sercumference Wok hei is life
Wait until uncle Roger sees how he cooked the eggs.
hiyaa.... this is egg crepe, french egg, not asia egg
Wok hei is kind of a guarantee for us Asian that the food is good. 😅 You need to smell it then you will understand.
Who here is watching very carefully and when he didn't put MSG, criticized him in uncle roger's voice inside your head?
Haiya, no msg
At this point niece and nephew read every comment in uncle roger voice, it’s like someone put MSG in my head ... wow so much flavour
I'm watching that wierd camera in the background.
Sam's epitaph: "And, We Mix."

Fried rice is people’s favorite food, and street fried rice chefs are the cutest people!
Its like he did everything his own way just to piss Uncle Roger off. Lol
Anyone reading all the comments in uncle rogers voice? 😂
me
I am now you said it lol
I can approve that, it is quite common to griddle fry rice especially on those festival catering stalls, it serves the same purpose as to promote evaporation to crisp up the rice ever so slightly.

“Where yo wok ? where yo wok ?” - uncle roger
Uncle Roger be like : *Haiyah this is Japanese fried rice not Chinese fried rice but still Asian fried rice but where is the MSG you need the MSG for the flavour*
And to think that MSG is originated in Japan 😅😅😅
@@SiriusStell1516 The irony
Fiesty Redd actually, 鉄板焼き, cooking on that iron plate, is a Japanese vendor stuff. And thick soy with Sriracha makes it sweet, so it’ll also taste like so called Japanese Chinese Cuisine(中華料理). As a Taiwanese, I can say that isn’t chinese enough but that looks pretty good.
I can hear this comment
Cadden Wu same! XD
The video where Uncle Roger went to BBC lady's "flat" and found an insane amount of strainers was amazing.
He smashed too
Eggs should be mixed with the rice while still semi runny, the idea being being it coats the rice. You don’t have to use thick soy which is usually sweet. To avoid watery rice “fry” the soy sauce on the side to evaporate excess moisture. You got the scallions right! 😊
Maybe I should do a fried rice video to see if I get Uncle Roger’s stamp of approval.
Some people prefer chunky egg instead of egg coating. Also indonesian fried rice usually has sweet soy kecap manis
a lot of a people actually dont like the egg coating the rice. most of the videos ive seen say to cook the egg separately
To those on this thread, I was just”egging on” the Cooking Guy. .

Made this two weeks ago in my new wok and it was hubby approved. YES!

Use metal spatula on metal cooking thing hiyah
more like " haiya, where your wok? where your wok? "
he's using outdoor kitchen, thats when you know good food is coming
orr thats when you know hes got a nice setup at the house
This is good 😂😂😂😂😂
But where’s his wok he has outdoor expensive grill but he still can’t afford wok? haiya
@@JacuzziFlats in asia, the dirtier your kitchen looks, the better the food
This is fried rice with egg, not exactly egg fried rice. There's a small difference.
Yess that's what I was thinking too. Lol
Yeah true.lol
@@joshuabuoyant6110 haiyaa he so white la
This is very similar to how my grandma made it. But she used regular bacon instead of thicker pork belly. Looks good to me. You had me going with the garlic, waiting so long to bring it out. Lol
Dear Sam,
This is a classic recipe in my house that my grandmother taught me.
we are a traditional Taiwanese family.
Break the rice up in the morning by hand (it will literally break itself up easily).
Cut up the ingredients (onions, garlic, etc)
Turn on pan, heat up oil, and fry the meat first.
If you are using something really oily such at pork belly,
You can use less oil.
Set the fried ingredients side.
Mix up eggs and fry it only on one side, When it is cook on one side but still wet on the other side,
place the broken up rice onto the wet side of the egg. (this helps with coating the rice)
Next, add the fried ingredients into the fried rice.
Lastly is the seasoning (yes, this is last)
season with salt and pepper.
If you use wet ingredients for seasoning, it will mess with the moisture and make it too wet
so if you are gonna add something like soy sauce or what not, make sure to fry longer to compensate.
This is a very traditional recipe that anyone can do in a classic old Asian household.
please give it a try someday. : )
Easy peasy
I don't think there is such a thing as "traditional" fried rice. I'm just part Chinese, grandma was full Chinese and so was my extended family, but their relatives got here like 200 years ago so I can't claim any recipes I learned as "traditional", but we did make and have fried rice basically every week. For us it was just whatever left over meats and veggies we had at the end of the week, and we always had left over rice so it was just something mom would whip up after work real quick to get rid of all the clutter in the refrigerator. I think that's how most fried rice is made in households. We also always used saved up bacon grease to make it. Our method was completely different though. We'd fry up the meats and veggies first then set aside, then we'd fry the dry old rice until it just started to turn golden then we'd add a few splashes of soy sauce and fry until everything was crispy and brown. Then make a well at the bottom of the pan and crack your eggs in and do a wet scramble. When the eggs are about 50/50 solid yet runny that's when everything would get stir fried together. This makes it so you get actual bits of egg but also rice with the egg cooked on, this kinda spreads the flavor throughout every single bite. Then toss in the pre-cooked meat/veg, stir fry it all together for a couple minutes, sprinkle a little sesame oil, throw on some green onions if you go it, and you're good to go. Takes like 10 minutes and prevents food waste. When I make it I basically do the same thing I just add more seasoning than my mom would, I like a lot of white pepper, chili paste/oil, and MSG. One of my favorite meals growing up.
im half japanese but we did similar. dad would bbq cheap meats on the weekend and we'd have leftover fried rice all week haha
I'm half Japanese and everything was started fresh not with left over
You seriously did not need a god damn book as a comment. Jesus christ
Thank you for sharing REAL USE advice. Great tutorial!!
Fried rice is just a way of getting rid of leftovers
Fried rice is the morning rice meal... it's the rice that wasn't eaten for supper the night before and left to get cold in the rice cooker. (Living in the Philippines, with my Filipino my wife and family.) For us, it is mostly garlic egg fried rice with what ever is left over. It's a clean up the leftovers meal. And yes, we use a wok. We use palm or canola oil. No MSG but salt and soy sauce. (It's not a political thing, it just isn't used.) Fried rice is an Asian thing. So if one wants to claim there is such a thing as "Chinese Egg-Fried Rice" I beg to suggest that it's probably just not so. Each family has their own tradition of how to cook it beyond the basics of the old cooked rice, oil, egg, and maybe the wok.
can hear him now
Uncle Roger: no msg, no wok, avacado oil and you cut up egg. AYYYYAAAAA. but no colander.
You know that what he’s grilling on is a griddle, which is very classic at hibachi restaurant. It’s just a fancier version of a Wok.
I love Sams vids and even though his search for recipes on his site is hard to navigate I enjoy the recipes; However,
I made this fried rice and followed the recipe exactly, unfortunately, because the recipe on Sam's site is NOT the recipe here.
Specifically 4 and 5. Sam doesn't mix the raw egg with the rice nor does he mix the eggs, soy and sesame oil!!!! This was an absolute mess!!!!
The recipe also leaves out the garlic.
Fridge Fried Rice
Directions
1. Heat pan or wok on medium heat and cook bacon until just getting crispy - remove bacon and drain on paper towels but leave a couple tablespoons of grease in the pan
2.Add vegetables and stir fry until just softened, about 5 minutes
3.Add bacon and rice - stir with spatula constantly, breaking up pieces 3-5 minutes until hot
4.Beat eggs in a small bowl and stir in soy & sesame oil
Uncle Roger say, "Soooo needy."

Uncle Roger is the best thing that happened to youtube in 2020.
i made this recipe and it was excellent. No wok hay but flattop hay. The sauce is top
this unironically took like 10 minutes longer than fried rice is supposed to lmao, just buy a damn wok
Wok help keep peas under control.
@@maritimedragon yup... i see the rice and peas running around and he gotta keep pushing them back in... a wok won't have this issue...
but this is still better than induction stove... 😂
And you need to put in peas after rice. Not before.
Sam, I followed your video and I have never been complimented on my fried rice until I cooked yours! You are my go to guy when I want to try something new! Keep up the great work.
never heard of Uncle Roger...so I watched his vids, and he is hilarious.
Welcome to the machine :) LOL
@Jason Yang accent. He's a comedian.
@Jason Yang its his alter ego character.
@Jason Yang its his character and his accent is not that heavy . If you watch his older video he have a normal Malay-British kinda accent.
Egg Fried Rice is probably one of the most popular Asian dishes. I approve it on behalf of Uncle Roger 😂 😂
Uncle Roger: where’s your wok. There’s no wok hay HAIYAAAA
Uncle Roger: Haiyahh!!.. He no use the wok.
We need the wok hey
When you realize that Sam doesn't realize that Uncle Roger's real name is Nigel, and speaks cleaner English than the rest of us
as i’m reading this he literally is saying “im pretty sure he doesn’t have as heavy of an accent... it’s pretty funny”
I think he does know, and he used discretion to wink without action , at Nigel. He was sensitive and mannerly enough to not call Nigel out of character, while still offering his food up to , Uncle Roger's, scrutiny ..... manners , ya dig?
he does know, its in the description
This is why he's the King of all Doofus egg fried rice guys.
"pretty sure sure he doesn't have as heavy of an accent in real life" you're right, clearly has no idea Uncle Roger a character. 😂
He is a Comedian based in the UK, Uncle Roger is a character he plays.
I can already imagine him talking about the eggs: “are you making egg crêpes?!
Lol!!!
Hiiiiiiiyaaa...no no no...white people this yo problem, always make things like pancake.
T El Life is Short .. Spend it with people , who make you laugh and feel Loved ..💚
You could add the sauce right at the edge of the rice and let it bubble up and steam for a bit before you incorporate it into the rice to avoid making the rice mushy with moisture and to give it an authentic edge of the wok flavor, but I guess it really depends on your grill/griddle.
FYI... the WOK was invented so peas don't roll off the edge.
Uncle Roger would approve!

Man that shi was hard to watch no lie. Egg gonna be hella dry
@@adrianblax5387 haiyaaa u make egg fried rice or fried rice with egg noodle
Actually you can, but as a topping after it's done, not throw it back in.
Dhion Toradan That kind of egg rolls are usually for soup noddles, not fried rice.
As if it's going to taste any different, idiots. The only way egg tastes good anyway is if the yoke isn't fully cooked, so your egg is probably too dry as well. Try loco moco.
I hate when westerns people sells rice 1 kg per package, it just a waste of Plastic, here (southeast Asia) we Buy rice 20 kg per package
you can slap it like u slap a ...... soo blessfull😂😂

@@mikenolan9440 when a guy is so uneducated he calls a paddy field a 'dirty pond' Haiyaahh

I do buy rice in 1kg pack for special occasions of fancy rice for regular use 20 kg /50 kg sacks not bags.

Eats fried rice with chopsstick.
Uncle Roger: ”HAIYAAAA!”
No...you got it all wrong. Eating chopstick is actually more traditional than eating rice with a spoon, and it also more convenient according to my experience. I can guarantee that Uncle Roger would be very impress seeing him eating rice with a chopstick. Like cmon, how do you not know this? HAIYAAAAA!
Kinato Exactly! Wait! Are you saying it in a positive or negative way?
@@risingstar9903 lmao no. Asian people will laugh at you trying to eat fried rice with chopsticks. We use what is called a renge spoon. Learn your facts kid
Mike Litoris yeah we don't eat fried rice with chopsticks off a plate but a bowl would be fine
Cuong Nguyen I mean...it’s possible with a dish, but a bowl would make more sense
omfg.. i'm dying
cant wait for the Uncle Roger review.
One small trick if not using a wok. Use your blow torch on the fried rice just before serving to give the “Breath of the Wok” flavor.
