Love your videos! Thank you so much for making them. Just received my takeaway lg rice from your shop today, safe and sound, very quick and packed well.
just got my essentials hamper yesterday gratefull for it but, whats the difference between chinese takeaway rice and long grain, oh and the lucky boat noodles have more yellow in them there awesome
Ive tried both your fried rices, this one tastes far superior and deserves the best title.....For the sake of adding the couple of extra ingredient s its deffo worth it.....Thank you so much guys 🙏
When I cook fried rice my mother hates it if I put the soy sauce on when it's cooking because she says it looks dirty. I've been doing the thing where you put the sauce on the cold rice and leave it and it's sooo much cleaner looking and she'll eat it again. Game changer. Wow - never seen sugar used. Going to give this a whirl in the next few days. Cheers.
Thanks! I have never used a chicken stock powder before...I may find at local Asian shop. What I love is watching alternative versions of what I cook! Many thanks x
I cooked this egg fried rice for my kids and their Thai friend whose Dad owns "The Meeting" Enfield Town. They absolutely loved it and their friend said "its the best egg fried rice Ive ever had. Im going to tell my Dad"
I feel its so satisfying too make fried rice at home and as satisfying to watch you guys show us how it's done, quick question though, my Wok has started sticking 😔 do you think it's worth seasoning again or getting a new one?
You make me snack too much, but your videos are great! I binge watch. Choo is adorable and Chin is fierce. Love it. I love fried rice. I'm going to make it with sausages, I don't care.
Do you have a guide to what levels of 'heat' you should set your buffalo induction cooker should be set to for various cooking, rice, noodles etc. Etc Thanks
For those wondering about seasoned/flavour oil Ziangs: Chinese Takeaway Aromatic Cooking Oil Recipe th-cam.com/video/dHnBKa4JGx8/w-d-xo.html an excellent recipe.
Putting the soy sauce in the cold rice before frying it is brilliant. I even wonder if you couldn't go a step further and actually put the soy in the water when you cook the rice.
You’ve probably heard and been asked way to many times. But do you sell duck pancakes or could show how to make them. Big fan of what you both do. Keep up the good work too 😊👍🏻
Thanks, I rotate Egg Fried Rice & a noodle Stir fry for lunch each day and been looking a different cooking methods to try a prefect them. Is it okay to cook with Stir fry oil? 89% Veg oil & 11% Sesame Oil? Just bought the Chicken powder the store didn't have any msg though, was sold out, I'll get that soon. Funny enough months back I tried all the Soy sauces and didn't rate the Lee kum kee, but I got it again and it's better now I don't put it in with the veg before the rice old method I seen and used. Still trying to find a noodle that I can use dry weight before cooking for the stir fry. just tried spaghetti with baking powder not great. Tried Tesco Egg noodles before was using Amoy medium noodles before that.
Sesame oil is use as a garnish but other than that 👍 also lee kum Kee from a Chinese supermarket taste different from if you buy it in tesco, they have different ingredients
Thank you, I just picked up some Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce from a Chinese store to try. I only asked about the oil as it's 89% Veg and only 11% Sesame oil, Normally just use Avocado Oil for everything.@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop
What is the "seasoned oil" do we mix it up ourselves or can we buy it ready made? I usually use sesame oil 🤦♀️🤦♀️ but it overpowers everything. P.s your food looks amazing, only just found your fb page etc, cant wait to start trying!!
We sell it on (soon as we’ve sold out but will be back soon), but no one else does, sesame oil should never be used to cook with, and thank you mean a lot to hear 😊😊😊
I heard from one place on the internet that to truly have a restaurant style egg fried rice, you should use Shaoxing Rice Wine on the rice when frying - Your thoughts on this?
I mean it’s subjective but for a main dish yes, for a side of fried rice like this, maybe not, as the flavour will almost be lost by the main dish that will sit on top of it, unless that dish is heavily used Chinese rice wine then it won’t be lost :)
Not sure whether to try this, or wait for the bestest version (once bestest has been classified as a real word, of course) And you're going to upset a lot of people saying chips aren't a main!!!
I can never do egg dried rice. I always mess up as the rice never seems to fry. The induction is on 2.5Kw but I think the wok is crap or maybe my overnight rice is to wet
I cooked my own yesterday, major fail (still eaten it though) I put to much soy in it and made it wet then when I cooked it to dry it up the dark soy burnt
Hi Chin I asked ages ago about the Wok and whee to get it from, but I can’t find the post. Can you please remind me where to get the Wok from that you are using? Is your Channel going quiet, I dont seem to see many posts recently?
This wok is now discontinued I’ll see if there is another like it, and no we’re actually posting more, we post videos every Wednesday and have been for about 3 months now
Made this last Friday and spent £12 on a big tub of that Knorr chicken powder from the local Chinese grocer. Any chance you could give us some other applications for that stuff, otherwise I have no idea how to use it (can't have fried rice everynight!)
Are peas a ‘traditional’ addition to egg fried rice at all? I love the sweet pop of peas in my rice but not sure if that’s because I’m just used to it from our Chinese takeaways over the years! Also agree with other commenters that I’d happily have this egg fried rice as my main dish (granted with some kind of sauce). Happy cooking guys!
Thanks guys, my kids love egg fried rice, normally, I’ll wok up uncle Ben’s, but this one looks the creme da la creme 👍👍 Off to my local store now to get the stock powder coz I know he’s got it in stock. Cheers, Keep Calm and Wok On ! 😁 - see what I did there 😂
@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Hi Chin and Choo, please don't block me for this 😂 buuut would it be possible to use a good quality plain microwave rice for this? I'm just thinking about the overnight rice thing and cutting that step out to make it more convenient and less faff, do you think it would work OK?

On another note, do you have a list of basic equipment we can buy to start wok cooking, I'm stuck with a shit electric hob and an old tefal flat bottomed (not fattomed girl) wok, and I have no gas supply.

The place I worked, he did it all in one wok, no stock powder, just salt, sugar and msg, as far as I know, it was 3 white powders and that's what I assumed they would be. Also, there were no spring onions. And, it's just fried rice, dunno where this need to add "egg" into the name came from.
This is one version, and not our 1st fried rice video, our 1st ever video is how most places do it as is essentially what you just described, I’ve worked in about 6 takeaways and owned 3 now, mum has way more experience and I’m 5th generation chinese chef 👨🍳 😊😊😊

I often quite happily eat egg fried rice as a complete meal.
Can't beat it with a tad of soy sauce, yum yum lol
Same
Me too! And maybe a few prawn crackers
Just made my fried rice like this for the first time - absolute game changer!
Tried This Recipe & It’s Spot On. My Chinese Take Away has just lost a customer 😂😂😂😂 the msg 💯💯💯💯 is the key ingredient

Just made this. Massive thumbs up from the entire family, two of whom normally don’t like rice.
That’s a huge recommendation!! Thank you 😊
Thanks both. I always pick up a tip with every video. Love to you both. Xx
I always cook the rice the day before I fry it to let it dry out. But I've added the MSG and Holy moly it's fantastic. Thank you
Lol no worries :) let us know how you get on with msg in other dishes
You two are great, Thanks
Thank you!

You say it's a side dish (and I don't disagree) but I'd still be happy with that for dinner!! Yum.

Hi would it be possible to use Knorr Aromat instead of the chicken powder? Or would that ruin it?
Love love love all your videos :-)
No that would work :)
Thank you 😊
Hi you guys
What is the best rice to use.
I am loving the cook book I got from you ❤
I have had some happy cooking.😊😊
Do i need to use this specific chicken powder?
ive got the chicken stock normally use it in chicken and sweetcorn soup must try this one thanks for sharing
Chicken stock cubes and chicken powder are quite different
Never happy with a local Chinese meal now I have your book. Thanks for that

For those wondering about seasoned/flavour oil Ziangs: Chinese Takeaway Aromatic Cooking Oil Recipe th-cam.com/video/dHnBKa4JGx8/w-d-xo.html an excellent recipe.
Looks great, will make this at the weekend, hi to your mum🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
Putting the soy sauce in the cold rice before frying it is brilliant.
I even wonder if you couldn't go a step further and actually put the soy in the water when you cook the rice.
Is the knorr chicken powder the best? What about amoy or any other Chinese brands?
You’ve probably heard and been asked way to many times. But do you sell duck pancakes or could show how to make them. Big fan of what you both do. Keep up the good work too 😊👍🏻
No we don’t sell them and every takeaway buys them in 😊
When can I get your cookbook delivered to Canada
If you don't have the chicken powder, which I don't, will you get much the same result by cooking the rice in chicken stock?
I have msg can I use vegetable boulion instead of the chicken powder
Yes 👍
Can I leave out the MSG? Does it make a big difference to the taste?
Huge difference, but yeah you can leave it out
Your mum clapping your singing 😀
Hahahah it was elite 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop was brilliant 😀
Wow, this one surprised me I forgot it's #ZiangsWednesday!, going onto my The BEST playlist now :)
Is the knorr chicken powder same as the little jars of knorr seasoning?
No there different
When I cook rice, should I put MSG in the pot with the salt?
we don't season rice at all
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop Okay, thanks. Do other restaurants season their rice?
Mate! That looks banging! Doing this at the weekend. Thanks 😁👍
May I ask what’s the rice water ratio that you used and what kind of rice?
Heartbroken. Went to buy the cook book and it's out of stock 😭 guess I need to wait a bit longer

What else can I do with that Knorr chicken powder? I bought a massive tub of it!
Use it as stock for soups like chicken and sweet corn, chicken noodle, see my shorts channel, I use it on there alot
Do you still recommend the superior soy sauce?
Lkk premium lights and dark or Amoy 1st extract light and dark are the only soys we’ve recommended:)
I love your food, it is amazing. Thank you very much ☘ the fried rice is on the menu this evening. 😋
❤️❤️❤️❤️
What will uncle Roger say..... OMG
Hai-yaah....
Yum most likely 😋
Could you do a cream of chicken soup please.
Someone needs to tag uncle roger he would love this
I've always used the Knorr chicken stock with fried rice, for me it just always made sense otherwise your rice doesn't have any base flavour
Do you mean you sprinkle in a Knorr chicken stock cube?
I don't know why but you guys definitely don't get enough views and subscribers! Keep up the great work! 🍜
Brill! Just brill! 🎉
So when does the salt get added?
To the egg mix
THANK YOU!!!

I can never do egg dried rice. I always mess up as the rice never seems to fry. The induction is on 2.5Kw but I think the wok is crap or maybe my overnight rice is to wet

Can I buy MSG on here? 😊
Yes from our webstore :)
I cooked my own yesterday, major fail (still eaten it though) I put to much soy in it and made it wet then when I cooked it to dry it up the dark soy burnt
Great vid, you mention wok hei - I’m trying to get that smoky flavour in my rice but my gas hob isn’t hot enough - can you replicate at home?
It’s not the heat you need, we don’t even have gas in our takeaway, it’s technique
@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop technique? does your rice get that Smokey taste without high heat?
Cool... I'll try that!!
Would Uncle Roger approve, I wonder.
