@Anime fan Did you know 3 biggest races in Malaysia are Bumiputera (also called Malay) , Chinese and Indian? Furthermore, Nigel himself stated in some of his videos that he is indeed a Malaysian. Once you get the Nationality, you’re already part of the Malaysian no matter the races
given that he used BOUGHT cooked rice, you'd think that that rice would have been properly cooked at least. (not that I am judging, I started to learn how to cook rice in germany where they had the" fork test" :O and then moved onto "Bagged" rice portions that were cooked with that bag.. but then I also am NOT a cook and while I am still struggling to get it right every time, I have grown "up")
The sad thing is, he used to be REALLY good. I have some of his early cook books and they are amazing. I mean, the guy studied under Ramsay ffs, he knows his stuff. But a couple of years ago, he just went batshit and it's been a downward spiral ever since.
The only times you use water while making fried rice: 1. When you’re washing the rice 2. When you’re cooking the rice 3. When you wash your vegetables 4. When you wash your dishes - A disappointed Indian girl
Jamie Oliver: *putting water on the fried rice Yuya-san: WHAT? Uncle Roger: WHAT?? Asian people: WHAT??? Mother Earth: WHAT??? Solar system: WHAT??? The whole universe: WHAT????
I had the exact same "what?" reaction at the exact same time.. so Triple for me :D also, putting the pan directly under the faucet is like.. wtf. If you are gonna put water in, put it in a cup first so you can control where it gets in, and don't remove the pan from the fire .. gee
u know, when he started to bring his pan to the sink, my eyes almost popped out, then he reached for the valve, and my jaw dropped.. It's so disgusting, that would never, EVER, in any of my lifetime, cooking a DRY meal by drenching it in water.
Jamie Oliver's fried rice video is actually *more* confusing if you understand Western cooking styles, because he's not following those rules, either! I don't think anybody in the world knows why he added chili jam (???) or extra water. Olive oil is often the completely wrong fat to use in a huge number of Western dishes because of its low smoke point and very specific flavor, if you cooked fish and chips or chicken fried steak in olive oil it would be seen as *crazy* too. And adding green onions late in the cooking process or as a garnish is almost universal, I googled a random Cajun "dirty rice" recipe and it said "add green onions as garnish" at the end. He's not even copying how to make a European rice dish like pilaf or risotto and changing the ingredients, it's just completely random.
Exactly. He did multiple things I've been explicitly taught not to do in western cooking, or have never heard of anyone doing, and It's like he's somehow not familiar with the cooking properties of olive oil and scallions. Which is insane.
@@sock2828 Chances are that he dones't really know how to cook. Asian food or western food. He's like a pumped celebrity, a marketing result with nothing real.
"Random" is a great adjective for Jamie Oliver's fried rice. In the world of food, his recipe is like a car knocking over food stands as it drives down the sidewalk. Women and children are screaming, men are shouting, "What are you doing?!" and the result is a huge, chaotic mess.
@SunsetLucy Olive Oil's smoke/burn point is dependent on how "virgin" it is, an extra virgin olive oil is a lower smoke point oil meant for garnishing, dressing, and dipping. Same thing for sesame oil, there is dressing oils and frying oils.
I understand jam to be crushed, smashed fruit with added sugar. Chili jam fits that description, perhaps? I'd only use whole chili, chili powder and/or chili flakes.
As a Singaporean Chinese (right next to Malaysia) I can vouch that cooking with a wok tastes very very different from cooking with a frying pan. It is really the "Wok Hey" that makes a huge difference. And such a flavour cannot be achieved with a frying pan. So in Singapore and Malaysia, you will find many Asian people cooking Asian cuisine using a wok.
As one of my cooking teachers liked to say, "We're supposed to stir-FRY, not stir-STEAM." On the other hand, I did know this graduate student from Manchuria who happily used standard frying pans and even a cast-iron skillet because that was what his host family had in their kitchen.
I mostly use a Wadjang (Indonesia) but also Woks and the difference between the two flavour wise is negligible but if you use a frying pan for the same dish it will tast different (less tasty).
Speaking personally, the gas pressure in the UK makes it difficult to get the right temperature in a wok. It's the same with Indian food. Outside a restaurant, getting the wok up to temperature - and keeping it there when you add stuff - is difficult.
So, me, as a German, just watched a Japanese chef, reacting to a Malaysian Character played by an Malaysian-British comedian who watched a British chef cooking Asian food 😂 And I enjoyed it very much, good video!
German food because they know that there are three ingredients to make food amazing: meat, salt, and beer. The meat can be stuffed into casings for sausage or deep fried to make wienerschnitzel. I used to live in Bitburg. Most important time of my life. P.S. Why do Austrians call them frankfurters and Germans call them wieners?
Now, we just need to have a Chinese Wok manufacturer react to a Japanese chef react to a Malaysian character played by a Malaysian-British comedian react to a British chef.
"In this world there are so many unbelievable recipes" is Japanese for "I can't believe that a so-called professional chef can fuck up egg fried rice so badly"
@@Guirko not quite xenophobic, but more like "i don't like outsider because they're rude". I mean, with shit like jake paul and many clout chasers, I'm shocked they can stay calm and respectful to other foreigner.
@@galeglider 😂😂 you can tell the reaction was legit because he wasn't able to stop saying that.. it was the first thing that came in my mind when i saw it
@@beautifulplaces2703 no thanks. Our fried rice also does not usually contain chilli jam, and I personally have no vested interest in eating the weird stuff he made. Lets just call it "Jamie Oliver Egg fried rice."
@@rebeccabriggs9452Nah, it should be called Mr PASOW’s egg fried rice or Mr Chilli Jam’s egg fried rice but the most simple is Jamie Olive oil’s egg fried rice
Packet rice is Pre-cooked then packaged at a factory, and sold at a grocery store. These kinds of packaged foods may often have a lot of preservatives in them. They're usually used as a really quick and easy meal for people who don't have time to actually cook their own food, but Jamie Oliver is a professional chef on TV to showcase his cooking skill and he opted for packet rice instead of cooking his own.
well tbf this is for an english audience to reproduce at home. you have to meet them halfway. putting two different ingredients in a pan is already "haute cuisine" for them. That doesn't explain the chili jam; the silk tofu (which is better suited for dessert); and more importantly the lack of soy sauce and sesame oil.
Rice is so simple to cook and honestly can be cooked within 5 to 20 minutes depending upon your style like pressure cooker, Pot or rice cooker . Why would anyone buy Packaged Cooked Rice 🤦😲
Just saw another chef video reacting to this video and he said the reason he might have added the water is due to the Chilli jam. As it has so much sugar in it it started to caramelize while it was cooking and started to burn, so he had to add the water to stop that.
For Japanese viewer context, this is similar to buying the microwave rice in Lawson/7-11 to do fried rice at home. When I visited Hokkaido, I realized the Japanese standard for microwave rice is really high. So maybe they might not see what's wrong with Jamie's choice. The Japanese stores really solved the formula to make it as close as possible. The instant rice outside or Taiwan or Japan is really a last choice for most people. You usually get some chunks which are hard because the heat distribution is not good and its overheated.
I went to an American College and one of my roommates tried to cook rice in a microwave IN A GODDAMN MICROWAVE. The same hour I called my mom and told her what happened, she talked to my roommate, we bought a rice cooker in discount of course . Since then he improve, thought him the Asian way to cook rice, my parents owns a restaurant, and whenever my parents visit me they always joke about teaching my roommates to cook rice.
@@TheFLAMEXDwe don't have the time to change temperature, we're too busy for that. With rice cooker, all we have to do is put rice and water in then let it do it's job for 20 minutes.

8:17 When Jamie put water in the rice while cooking Uncle Roger : What?! Yuya Makky : What? Me : What * at the same times * It's proof that we all Asia are confuse why he doing this stupid act
@@GarethLategan COLD water to HOT pan?! You stopped that cooking process while you put that fu*king water in it. NEVER EVER put COLD water in the middle of cooking! NEVER! You gonna kill that food! Using broth is more better, because it has a flavour, but you must know, WHEN put broth in :))
As a MidWestern chef, I'm so confused on Jamie Oliver's choices. Never have I ever put water in Fried Rice, or chunky tofu, or have I used so much olive oil. Olive oil is so strong, you'd only really use it with like a seared steak or some mushrooms maybe. He needs some serious work if he's gonna ever try to make some southern creole fried rice, which is a whole different issue.
as an asian, there is something very enjoyable about watching two other asians disgusted over jamie's fried rice...... like it reassures me that i'm not crazy for being completely and utterly disgusted over the entire cooking process
I'm not Asian, but I spent a lot of time eating homemade, authentic Chinese food (cooked by my fiancee's grandmother). I was both shocked and appalled while watching Jamie's video.
@@sAkUrA6309 Do not envy me. Those days are only a memory, now. My fiancee chose to let me go when she went off to a different graduate school. It was her loss in the end, and that is sad, but people make their own choices in life.
I ran a restaurant in the Phillippines and we were known for great food. I test cooked 20 of Oliver's recipes and 20 of Gordon Ramseys... ALL Olivers tasted crap!! and all Gordons tasted very nice. Gordon's recipes were also MUCH easier and fewer ingredients.
@@woodysmum4471 Looking at Jamie's fried rice, I'd expect Gordon to be rolling in his grave. …the one that he dug out personally just to roll in after looking at Jamie's video.
I have zero respect for Oliver. He's a hack at best who's ego is much bigger than it should ever be. Gordon Ramsay keeps his ego somewhat in check, even knowing that HE is a great chef. His receipes are usually straightforward and simple to make and always delicious. His shows are fun and engaging. Oliver is boring and always condescending to the viewer.
I was absolutely waiting for the tofu moment. Both of you saying “What?!” to the wetting the rice again, this was a great response video. I love Uncle Roger’s videos, but I also love it when a native chef can comment on what makes it specific to that country. Thanks for this.
Here in Jamie Oliver's home country, he is not regarded as a particularly good chef by many people. His restaurants are known for presenting poor quality food. He sold his soul to a supermarket chain to sell their low quality tinned salmon after publicly shaming people who use tinned salmon... Frankly Jamie Oliver is a national embarrassment.
Damion Lee Jamie Oliver is not a great chef, no Michelin stars, I don’t believe he was ever even head chef of anywhere. However he has kind of redefined himself in something like the role Marco Pierre White has, that of helping people who don’t like cooking and would otherwise order takeaways and buy readymeals to cook. He gets that most people don’t have time nor effort to source authentic ingredients and gives them easy, healthy alternatives. Also he was the only one to ever take a stand over the awful, processed food our school kids get given every day. I’m a cook and work with cooks who love to disparage Jamie Oliver as a terrible chef and frankly, he is. But instead of focusing on fine dining he actually thinks about what ordinary people eat everyday and for me that makes him kind of inspirational
Damion, I'm very interested in your statements RE Jamie. I knew he wasn't a high level chef. I did not know he did the things you claim in the UK. As for over here in the States, I saw him go through the re-inventing process that @a Google User writes. Having put myself through college doing cooking, I have a huge respect for restaurant level professional cooking. I saw Jaime on a tour going through American towns and getting people to talk about the fried food, its healthyness (or lack of) and American obesity. I applaud and thank him for that. At the time I thought it was so campy its was pandering and not serious. But pandering or not, it did start discussion about how healthy food is in America. I'll go one more, he looked at the schools nutrition and found a lot of it to be lacking as well.
@@ceruleanfish6703 I remember that time very well. He had been a celebrity TV chef over here for some years, but had basically disappeared. He used the USA for publicity, seemingly as a tool to relaunch his career. Honestly your country was an easy target because of the things that were legal in the US but banned in Europe. He got the same discussions going on in this country using his "discoveries" in the US. Unfortunately he made seemingly no attempt to distinguish what was going on in the different countries, it appeared at times he was even encouraging the misinformation. But then, a lot of what he "discovered" in the US was misinformation. For example, the now infamous "Pink Slime". Not used over here, but he had a huge portion of our population believing it was in our food. (McDonalds in the UK had very simple, good quality beef mince from British and Irish farms, and none of the weirdness of the US ingredients list, but Jamie had masses convinced the use of Pink Slime was a real thing in the UK). His information on it in the US was off, and he was making a lot of stuff up. He did start a discussion over school food, again using the information he had from the US to argue that our schools were serving up really unhealthy rubbish. There were some schools that were not serving up good food, and this has led to the worst schools in the country having better food. BUT, many schools now having much lower quality, nutritionally worse food being dished up. His actions led to many schools feeling they had to switch over to outside providers which are private companies cooking on very strict budgets with far higher overheads. Many schools went from good quality, freshly prepared and cooked onsite meals, to cheap mass produced ready meals. It led to schools depriving children of food packed by parents because some staff member deemed the child's packed lunch to be "Too unhealthy". (I had a massive row with my son's school board over this as a governor, when they wanted to start searching children's packed lunches and confiscating food.) He made a real mess of things over here. Then there was his "campaign against obesity", followed by him piling on many extra pounds in his thirties. The guy is a hypocrite and a joke. He may have started discussions that improved things in the US, but he used that to make himself look relevant in the UK and has caused widespread damage. Please, take him, you're welcome to him.
@@damionlee7658 Appreciate your time and the straight answer. Didn't know he ran with the Pink Slime too, ouch. Yes, that was a straight up hoax. Although the quality and sizing of the meat in fast food is sub par here for quite a few eateries. I've actually seen a boon in "higher quality" burger shops with claims of higher grade beef and ingredients. These shops come with higher prices sadly and have driven the cost of the poor Big Mac sky high, about $4.55 pounds royal. Oh, and its still just a Big Mac, no portion or quality change. You're still paying about $15 pounds for a high quality burger. I had hoped the food quality discussion had helped in the US. Did not know it effected the UK as well, very sorry about that. We did have a few more strict guidelines here. But with the diversity in school districts there is quite a diversity in funding here for kids, sadly. It's highly political and tied locally to the money the district has. That still doesn't stop others from diverting money to other areas away from the kids. However, we always packed our kid lunch. The school lunch for what you got still was literally french fries or pizza or hot dogs, really low level food with no nutrition. I truly am sorry things went sour with the 3rd party people getting involved in the UK. Now, I'm curious if that happened domestically in the more affluent state systems. I won't point fingers at yours, but it sounds like what the highly political school boards would do over here. Move the issue to someone else keep blame of oneself, however with funding so low I don't know if they would be able to do it, hence the pizza I saw being served still. Don't think we'd take him. From the digging I've done, I'm ready to buy a couple acres locally and go off grid and grow my own food. Bests~
@@ceruleanfish6703 my wife and I hope to one day have the space and good health to provide the majority of our own food. We can live in hope. The school issue here was one of those things where things needed to change in some places. Burgers, pizza, shaped reformed meat products, fries were the daily for some schools, particularly in lower income areas. Parents didn't have the ability to make change, and for their children, what came out of Jamie Oliver's bid for attention was definitely a step in the right direction. Unfortunately it was the same double edge sword that the introduction of the minimum wage was (the UK introduced a minimum wage in the 90s, and for the low paying jobs, child care, cleaning etc, it really helped. Unfortunately it caused a huge amount of hardship as large numbers of people, working jobs in factories particularly, but also retail and farming, suddenly saw their income drop substantially. To this day, most factory workers earn significantly less money than those same jobs did before the minimum wage; even if you don't take into account inflation. That is to say, much of the factory work in the 90s was paying £14 - £18 per hour, (about £30 - £40 adjusted for inflation), but today the average factory wage is only £8.39!) Sorry, real tangent, but it helps to describe the similar effect which occurred with school meals. So for instance there were schools at the time who would cook onsite, fresh fish, whole cuts of meat, rice and potato dishes with fresh vegetables. But now just reheat trays of food, which is quite often burgers, pizza, fries etc. Basically when the government introduce a minimum expectation for meals, many schools with lower quality meals used private companies to provide that minimum quality. Meanwhile many schools that far exceeded those standards switch to the same companies and their food service dropped down to the minimum requirement. Truthfully, I despair for both our nations. There is so much division and pain, and so much hidden hardship. But, things are generally better than they were 100 years ago, and hopefully they will be better 100 years from now. At least we are making progress, if we look at the big picture. Best wishes to you and yours also. (Mobile phone, so hopefully I spotted and corrected the spelling and grammar errors before posting this.)
I like the Japanese Chef is liking every comment. Even better is that he seems to be a caring and humble person and I liked him showing us his kitchen/spices.

Yes, chili jam is like strawberry jam. Making jams and jellies is a way of preserving fruits and some vegetables past their growing season. Sugar is cooked with the produce, and poured into sterile jars, usually then covered with wax or sealed in a pressure cooker. It is a great way for keeping food for winter when you can’t eat it all in the season, no matter how many children you have. No, your English is just fine. It is not stir-fry when Jamie adds water. It’s steaming. Your egg fried rice looks delicious!
The paella pan, which exists almost exclusively for making paella in Spanish/Latin cuisine also is said to impart a unique flavor/character called socarrat; the crisp rice in contact with the bottom of the pan. Cooking on cast-iron is said to be similarly unique. I think the nonstick coating on most modern cookware prevents the food from having good contact with the hot pan and therefore can't char like a wok, paella, or cast iron and won't have the unique character created by that process.
My parents noticed I had whitewashed tastes despite hailing from a Filipino family. Eventually, when I grew up, I specialized in Western cooking as opposed to every other son who learned our old ways. This adds a double layer of pain watching this video, because _I see where Jamie is coming from._ Olive Oil and dumping onions in first are _western_ sensibilities that make perfect sense if you're making a Pasta. Unfortunately, that also means I see clear as day Jamie made no real effort to understand Asian food before emulating it - and worse, being one of the Western world's most well-known people trying to teach it.
This makes sense to me, I don't do Asian cooking beyond the occasional stir fry (and I'm not exactly following a recipe so much as whatever flavours I like!) and I'll default to olive oil for basically everything I cook, because to me it's what oil should taste like. But then I'm not a professional chef trying to show people how this is actually done! If he prefaced his videos on these by explaining that they're his personal ways of doing them, I could respect that more, though it seems as if his way is making it actively worse. Sometimes chefs saying "X meal must always be cooked this way because THATS HOW ITS DONE" is just tradition (or less charitably, regional snobbery) and you can make extremely tasty food by ignoring them. Other times you should sit down and shut up, because there's very often a reason why it's traditionally done that way and it may be vitally important. Learn it, understand it, and THEN decide if you want to change it.
I love the various forms of Asian cuisine, specifically Japanese and Korean (thank you US army), but I still prefer it to be true to their origins. The food is just do damn good that you don't need to add these modern western spins to them. Let them stand on their own, they absolutely can and they are delicious, beyond compare.
As a British person i can say Jamie is more a embarrassment than a "chef" he was popular some 15-20 years ago for trying to force "healthy living" and children (which he was found numerous times to never follow himself) and his restaurant chains are closing everywhere. He maybe was a chef but his time has passed and not in a good way, please don't judge all brits on him, some of us know how to enjoy and appreciate other cultures, Japanese is one of my favourite food types and i hate guys like Jamie who embarrass the nation like this.
In China everybody talks about how bad British foods are, but after visiting UK I found British foods quite decent, amazing cakes especially. I nearly decided to eat at Jamie‘s restaurant once but it scored so low on tripadvisor so I chose something else instead
@@roachzheng2652 good choice to make there, his restaurants are really expensive and the food is so small in portion that even children would leave hungry on a adults meal. Britain doesn't have a amazing pallet of cuisine as we just eat other culture foods (which i guess works) but glad you enjoyed the cakes, one thing we do enjoy is a good cake!
I know that not all British people are shameful like Jamie Oliver. Most of them are good people with a good taste about food. I also like British sweets, it's one of the most delicious sweets I've ever tasted. But Jamie Oliver is just a disappointment...... Yare yare daze......

Jamie Oliver is a well known British chef with several published books and tv shows, a lot of them popular where I live (Portugal). Personally I don't enjoy his recipes and his overall demeanor. The videos he publishes don't help him either, since I've notice that a lot of times he uses it to take little jabs at Uncle Gordon, who makes much better easily to follow recipes and is a lot more popular and talented. Oh, they both hate each other too, making the fact that Uncle Roger loved Uncle Gordon's dish and hated Jamie's 10x funnier. The rice from the bag is already cooked for those ~~lazy~~ who don't have time to cook rice.
Yeah, and Jamie Oliver likes to "try cooking healthy", which makes it strange when he suggests an addition to a standard recipe. That's why the tofu is in there. He probably knows it's not there to improve the dish for taste or texture, what he wants is to "make it healthy".
@@afelias if he wants to make it healthy he should have left out all that extra olive oil and the chillijam. also the pre-cooked rice is full of artificial conservatives which makes the whole thing even worse. jamie is always preaching but never practicing what he preaches. in short hes a hypocrite.
I like Gordon Ramsay. I dislike Jamie Oliver for making jabs at him. plus Jamie's food is boringly healthy and basic looking, as well as not as nice looking. Gordon's food is more enriching and tasty and the presentation is also nicer.
I use a scope to pour grains into a rice cooker. Soak in water for a while and by the time the dinner is ready the rice has been done for a bit. Why do you need precooked rice? It doesn't take four hours to cook rice. Put rice in water before you go to work. Get your kids to drain the water and measure water.
It is because kids don't compute what the crap is in the chicken nuggets or other foods, all they know is if they like the taste, they really don't care LOL.
It’s so cute to see all of these “prominent” people being completely unknown by others sometimes. 😂🤣 A lot of people forget that we all live in our own cultural bubble, that is dangerous because it leads to fear+hate against others.

The idea of preparing Japanese cuisine intrigues me and seems like an exciting venture to undertake someday. I must admit, though, I'm not the most skilled when it comes to cooking. While I am capable of preparing basic dishes, the intricacy of dishes like Onigiri poses a challenge. I remember my attempt at making Onigiri, which unfortunately didn't turn out as expected. However, it's important to remember that it was my first attempt. Failure is a stepping stone to improvement, and one can't expect to get everything right on the first try. Even the best chefs had to start somewhere, right? I remain optimistic and excited about the possibility of enhancing my culinary skills, especially in the realm of Japanese cooking. Who knows, maybe with practice and patience, I might just master the art of Onigiri! ^_^
It’s pretty much meant for convenience rather than quality, stick it in the microwave for a few minutes and serve. I do think it’s actually suitable for fried rice though, which is a recipe specifically to use up old leftover rice the next day.
@@andysutcliffe3915 can't agree, packet rice is mushy whereas leftover rice is dryer and more suitable to fried rice, packet rice is only suitable when you know you aren't getting good fried rice
The UK has a HUGE amount of "convenience" foods that are designed for busy people who don't have time to boil rice etc. So yes, you probably wouldn't find packet pre-cooked rice in most countries but that's what it is! I can't imagine using it though - it's probably horrible!
But I like instant rice in Japan and korea... the rice is great.. esp when you on holiday and cannot cook much.. put in the oven for 2 minutes and the rice is warm and fluffy
I understand why a wok is ideal for cooking egg fried rice. When my parents cook egg fried rice, that huge fume of smoke from the wok (a.k.a. the Wok Hay) is the most satisfying smell you can have when you're using the outdoor kitchen. P.S. I live in a Filipino household where we have an indoor kitchen and an outdoor kitchen. Edit: I would rather not mess around with packet rice. Overnight/Day-old rice is and will always be a must for cooking egg fried rice.
@@xXJokerAtWorkXx So do I. I have an induction stove as well which is why whenever we cook something that requires high heat like egg fried rice, we take it outside where the gas stove is. In this situation, the indoor kitchen is meant more for preparation such as cooking the egg, chopping the veg, scooping out the remainder of what rice we have, all that good stuff. And yes, definitely recommend having an outdoor kitchen because when you cook something high heat with the wok inside the house, the smell’s gonna stick everywhere for days. As much as I love the smell of egg fried rice in the morning, I don’t think you want that smell on your sofa and stuff. Edit: There are many versions of egg fried rice like Yang Chow for Chinese, Nasi Goreng for Indonesian, but a definite favorite of mine has to be pork adobo egg fried rice omelette. Personally for diet purposes that relates to religious reasons, I’m not totally open to the idea of eating pork. However in such a case, it cannot be helped. Pork adobo egg fried rice is the best thing Filipinos have come up with when it comes to savory cooking.
@@nicholascauton9648 best adobo rice is days old adobo with an additional glob of minced garlic, and rehydrating the leftover rice with the adobo sauce. Never did my adobo rice with eggs before, but I just might try it one day.
@@MaverickRiou Trust me, it's one of the best things you could do with your life. Here in Hawaii, particularly in the town of Waipahu (on the island of Oahu) there's this family restaurant business called "Elena's" and their fan-favorite dish is pork adobo egg fried rice omelette. My mom replicated the recipe very closely because she understands how to actually make it and she never even works there.
Uncle Roger is a legend. Packet rice in the UK is precooked rice for lazy people, all you need to do is warm it up. Problem is its more expensive also.
10:01. (Brit in the States). Another option at my local Asian supermarket, is fresh tofu blocks in containers, that you can pick out and put in a plastic bag.
"Packet rice" is pre-cooked rice that is reheated by putting the bag in boiling water. And I know this because my sister gave me some packets. I guess because I'm fat and single, maybe I look stupid and lazy? Honestly, I cook my rice in my rice cooker. So I don't know what packet rice tastes like. And as for the jam, my mother once bought a jar of jalapeno jelly. It was not very sweet, it was very hot and yes.. disgusting.
I've never used a rice cooker, I just use the old 2:1 measure, and my favorite cooking pot Edit: it's came out nice and sticky every time. I don't really know what I would want to eat with non sticky rice
I've had jam in some savory (usually breakfast) sandwiches that matched well with salty foods for a more complex taste, but never like. Adding it to something being cooked D: Not even for a sweet dish
No, packaged rice in the UK is something you can just open the package and eat straight from the bag. Of course you can microwave it or reheat it on a pan or whatever. No refrigeration needed. Just like a pack of crisps
After watching your Uncle Roger /Jamie Oliver Egg Fried Rice reaction video, I subscribed. Thank you for showing us how your food products are packaged and how you store them. I also appreciated your translation of Japanese words and concepts😀--very helpful.
It astounds me of all the possible ways one could invent a random egg fried rice that's healthy, he used packet rice and chilli jam. Like... even just egg and bok choy is better. Egg and broccoli. Egg and mushroom. Is this guy for real?
@@abc-yg6tk he’s what you call a poser in the cooking industry. It’s like those guys that use fake weights in the bodybuilding industry who try to pass them off as real. Same concept.
I dont know if anyone explained it, but the "packet rice" Jamie was using is a common pre-cooked rice often portioned out as "single serve" rice. Its mainly used by people who don't know how to cook rice and honestly has the worst texture. Its somehow both very dry and mushy at the same time.
As a half Chinese-Thai whose had studied Japanese in my college, your series clarify things more on how the rice culture has been doing. Subscribed to both channels.
I'm brand new to this channel. I LOVE your style, you seem to be very genuine, and your video is also very gentle on the ears and eyes. I really look forward to your content, I'm going to check more now! God bless, from the West Coast in America
I’ve always thought that Jamie Oliver has a tendency to “wing it”, ie make it up as he goes along, and these two experienced Asian cooks are really showing him up for a bluffer. Jamie relies on his viewers being totally ignorant so they don’t know any better! It’s obvious that the strong, Mediterranean flavour of olive oil would be all wrong for the delicate flavour of rice. I use rice bran oil, which has a lovely light, slightly nutty aroma.
Nigel Ng isn't even a chef! He just knows about things like that because Malaysia has a big food culture. You can go and order fried rice from a hawker stall and stand 1m away from the guy and watch him cook it for you right there and then.
To answer your questions, 1. Jamie Oliver is a very popular British chef he’s also pretty well known in America and Canada and has a whole bunch of cooking shows. 2. packet rice is that you cook in a microwave for like 2-3 minutes. Personally I don’t really like it, it always comes out super oily and wet, It’s kind of nasty. 3. I have never heard of Chili jam but I am familiar with something called red pepper jelly. It’s sweet with a little kick and very British. the classic way to eat it is with cream cheese or Brie on cracker. You can also use it as an ingredient for a meat glaze or make it into a creamy dip. The fact that he put “chilli jam” on egg fried rice astounds me.
I love your background music! Hearing people enjoy country (especially from the time i grew up) makes me excited! Im always reminded of when i was in 2nd grade and all the teachers taught us how to line dance so we could perform for our parents! 😊😊
the anology for packet rice is just like what uncle roger said, it's like instant noodle so you can say that packet rice is instant rice but the only difference is that instant noodle is good, while packet rice is disappointment and disrespect towards asian culture.
I've always ran away from that shit when I saw it, one time I thought of getting it out of curiosity (it just looked so weird) thanks for saving my pain
My favourite parts of these videos are when Roger and Yuya both say "What?!" Or "Disgusting!" at the same time or one after the other. Their minds are on the same wavelength.
You know something is wrong when two Asian dudes says “what?” in the same time.
300 Thousand actually
All asian said 'what' at the same time...AHAHAAHAHA
true
As a latinoamerican guy, I screamed "WHAT?!" at the same time as well.
As a white chick I yelled “WHAT!?” in horror at the same time too.
A Japanese reacting to a Malaysian reacting to British chef? this is too good
ur reacting too and i react ur comment make it crazy
That's bloody insane and I love it 😂🤣
Is that a technical threesome oh wait I'm a dumbass
@Anime fan Did you know 3 biggest races in Malaysia are Bumiputera (also called Malay) , Chinese and Indian? Furthermore, Nigel himself stated in some of his videos that he is indeed a Malaysian. Once you get the Nationality, you’re already part of the Malaysian no matter the races
@Anime fan What?
I love how you both said "what?!" at the same time when he put water on the rice 😂
Puerto Rican here, that's also where I lost it LMAO
I say that too the first I saw that part 😭
given that he used BOUGHT cooked rice, you'd think that that rice would have been properly cooked at least. (not that I am judging, I started to learn how to cook rice in germany where they had the" fork test" :O and then moved onto "Bagged" rice portions that were cooked with that bag.. but then I also am NOT a cook and while I am still struggling to get it right every time, I have grown "up")
@@sircat3594 Food knows no color or nationality. Even the most green prep cook knows not to do that.
Ngl i almost threw up when he added water to the fried rice
“Chef” is a strong word to describe Jamie Oliver
The sad thing is, he used to be REALLY good. I have some of his early cook books and they are amazing. I mean, the guy studied under Ramsay ffs, he knows his stuff. But a couple of years ago, he just went batshit and it's been a downward spiral ever since.
The only times you use water while making fried rice:
1. When you’re washing the rice
2. When you’re cooking the rice
3. When you wash your vegetables
4. When you wash your dishes

@@jawstrock2215same! I've seen this video before, but it's been long enough that I forgot Jamie did this, and I said "What?!" at the same time 😂
u know, when he started to bring his pan to the sink, my eyes almost popped out, then he reached for the valve, and my jaw dropped.. It's so disgusting, that would never, EVER, in any of my lifetime, cooking a DRY meal by drenching it in water.
Jamie Oliver's fried rice video is actually *more* confusing if you understand Western cooking styles, because he's not following those rules, either! I don't think anybody in the world knows why he added chili jam (???) or extra water. Olive oil is often the completely wrong fat to use in a huge number of Western dishes because of its low smoke point and very specific flavor, if you cooked fish and chips or chicken fried steak in olive oil it would be seen as *crazy* too. And adding green onions late in the cooking process or as a garnish is almost universal, I googled a random Cajun "dirty rice" recipe and it said "add green onions as garnish" at the end. He's not even copying how to make a European rice dish like pilaf or risotto and changing the ingredients, it's just completely random.
Exactly. He did multiple things I've been explicitly taught not to do in western cooking, or have never heard of anyone doing, and It's like he's somehow not familiar with the cooking properties of olive oil and scallions. Which is insane.
@@sock2828 Chances are that he dones't really know how to cook. Asian food or western food. He's like a pumped celebrity, a marketing result with nothing real.
@@JohnDoe-qu2dr Pretty much. Over exposure like Rachel Ray who can't really cook either for lazy people.
"Random" is a great adjective for Jamie Oliver's fried rice. In the world of food, his recipe is like a car knocking over food stands as it drives down the sidewalk. Women and children are screaming, men are shouting, "What are you doing?!" and the result is a huge, chaotic mess.
@SunsetLucy Olive Oil's smoke/burn point is dependent on how "virgin" it is, an extra virgin olive oil is a lower smoke point oil meant for garnishing, dressing, and dipping. Same thing for sesame oil, there is dressing oils and frying oils.
It's kinda annoying how Jamie called his fried rice a healthy version of asian food lol
Jamie Oliver fled the US in shame after he couldn't get children to shun chicken nuggets.
Chicken fried rice isn’t healthy at all, but that’s why it’s good.
Cause Asian ain't healthy . Oil oil oil
Jamie don't know how to cook. Shame
Oh it's "healthy" alright, but that's because after two bites you start thinking "You know, I'm not that hungry"
When you’re British and have no idea what the hell chilli jam is either
Exactly;
Probably something you get at a yuppie/hipster store like Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Or maybe it's actually chutney.
it's an exaggeration of something you should not use
😂😂😂😂
I understand jam to be crushed, smashed fruit with added sugar.
Chili jam fits that description, perhaps?
I'd only use whole chili, chili powder and/or chili flakes.
As a Singaporean Chinese (right next to Malaysia) I can vouch that cooking with a wok tastes very very different from cooking with a frying pan. It is really the "Wok Hey" that makes a huge difference. And such a flavour cannot be achieved with a frying pan. So in Singapore and Malaysia, you will find many Asian people cooking Asian cuisine using a wok.
As one of my cooking teachers liked to say, "We're supposed to stir-FRY, not stir-STEAM." On the other hand, I did know this graduate student from Manchuria who happily used standard frying pans and even a cast-iron skillet because that was what his host family had in their kitchen.
I mostly use a Wadjang (Indonesia) but also Woks and the difference between the two flavour wise is negligible but if you use a frying pan for the same dish it will tast different (less tasty).
Think that the important of heat control , this is technique ,and secret for why there is same recipe but cooked by different person
Lee kuan yew is dead and SG is better off for it...that is all. Have a nice day
Speaking personally, the gas pressure in the UK makes it difficult to get the right temperature in a wok. It's the same with Indian food.
Outside a restaurant, getting the wok up to temperature - and keeping it there when you add stuff - is difficult.
So, me, as a German, just watched a Japanese chef, reacting to a Malaysian Character played by an Malaysian-British comedian who watched a British chef cooking Asian food 😂
And I enjoyed it very much, good video!
German food because they know that there are three ingredients to make food amazing: meat, salt, and beer. The meat can be stuffed into casings for sausage or deep fried to make wienerschnitzel. I used to live in Bitburg. Most important time of my life.

Packet rice is Pre-cooked then packaged at a factory, and sold at a grocery store. These kinds of packaged foods may often have a lot of preservatives in them. They're usually used as a really quick and easy meal for people who don't have time to actually cook their own food, but Jamie Oliver is a professional chef on TV to showcase his cooking skill and he opted for packet rice instead of cooking his own.
in my country packet rice is just raw rice packaged in small portions lol
His cooking skill amounts to a person just past beginner tossing random shit into a pan and expecting it to be good.
@@brutus3631 We have that too, but it is called "instant" or "single serve." Packet rice or packaged rice is the pre-cooked warm and serve size.
well tbf this is for an english audience to reproduce at home. you have to meet them halfway. putting two different ingredients in a pan is already "haute cuisine" for them. That doesn't explain the chili jam; the silk tofu (which is better suited for dessert); and more importantly the lack of soy sauce and sesame oil.
Rice is so simple to cook and honestly can be cooked within 5 to 20 minutes depending upon your style like pressure cooker, Pot or rice cooker . Why would anyone buy Packaged Cooked Rice 🤦😲
Just saw another chef video reacting to this video and he said the reason he might have added the water is due to the Chilli jam. As it has so much sugar in it it started to caramelize while it was cooking and started to burn, so he had to add the water to stop that.
LoL, it's like adding too much flour, so adding more water thing.
add water to create wet fried rice
I wonder if it's also because he used packet rice, which lacks moisture? But he did seem to like the end result being very shiny and wet too.
Shouldn't have put chilli jam in the first place.
Yes. He screwed up to fix a previous screw up. He added water to stop the jam from burning which shouldn't have been in there in the 1st place.
"Packet rice" is - a purchased pack of already cooked rice. Vacuum packed. Maybe cooked 1-4 weeks before you buy it. Usually not pleasant texture.
It tastes funny too, not like rice but sort of plastic like.
Disgusting
@Mariah Lightfoot nah this is like fully pre cooked
@Mariah Lightfoot it is fully cooked and vacuum sealed. No water necessary just microwave. Not as good as regular rice
For Japanese viewer context, this is similar to buying the microwave rice in Lawson/7-11 to do fried rice at home.
When I visited Hokkaido, I realized the Japanese standard for microwave rice is really high. So maybe they might not see what's wrong with Jamie's choice. The Japanese stores really solved the formula to make it as close as possible.
The instant rice outside or Taiwan or Japan is really a last choice for most people. You usually get some chunks which are hard because the heat distribution is not good and its overheated.

Everybody wonders about this not only Asian people
Let's start a movement..... Fried rice matters
As a MidWestern chef, I'm so confused on Jamie Oliver's choices. Never have I ever put water in Fried Rice, or chunky tofu, or have I used so much olive oil. Olive oil is so strong, you'd only really use it with like a seared steak or some mushrooms maybe. He needs some serious work if he's gonna ever try to make some southern creole fried rice, which is a whole different issue.
The synchronised “What?!!!” is gold!!!! I almost put the all caps bold “NANIII?!!” on the video ✌️
Agreed!
I had to hit a CHOTTO MATTE!
as an asian, there is something very enjoyable about watching two other asians disgusted over jamie's fried rice...... like it reassures me that i'm not crazy for being completely and utterly disgusted over the entire cooking process
I'm not Asian, but I spent a lot of time eating homemade, authentic Chinese food (cooked by my fiancee's grandmother). I was both shocked and appalled while watching Jamie's video.
@@khalaq2 "homemade, authentic Chinese food" your life is good mannn. I'm an Asian myself, but I envy you

I ran a restaurant in the Phillippines and we were known for great food. I test cooked 20 of Oliver's recipes and 20 of Gordon Ramseys...
ALL Olivers tasted crap!! and all Gordons tasted very nice. Gordon's recipes were also MUCH easier and fewer ingredients.
I agree, it's hard to class Jamie Oliver as a real chef, yet he trained under Gordon Ramsay before they fell out.
Agree. All of olivers recipes are not that good
@@woodysmum4471 Looking at Jamie's fried rice, I'd expect Gordon to be rolling in his grave.
…the one that he dug out personally just to roll in after looking at Jamie's video.
I have zero respect for Oliver. He's a hack at best who's ego is much bigger than it should ever be. Gordon Ramsay keeps his ego somewhat in check, even knowing that HE is a great chef. His receipes are usually straightforward and simple to make and always delicious. His shows are fun and engaging. Oliver is boring and always condescending to the viewer.
This is interesting. I think that's why Jamie Olivers' restaurants closed most of them in UK
I was absolutely waiting for the tofu moment. Both of you saying “What?!” to the wetting the rice again, this was a great response video. I love Uncle Roger’s videos, but I also love it when a native chef can comment on what makes it specific to that country. Thanks for this.
Here in Jamie Oliver's home country, he is not regarded as a particularly good chef by many people. His restaurants are known for presenting poor quality food. He sold his soul to a supermarket chain to sell their low quality tinned salmon after publicly shaming people who use tinned salmon...
Frankly Jamie Oliver is a national embarrassment.
Damion Lee Jamie Oliver is not a great chef, no Michelin stars, I don’t believe he was ever even head chef of anywhere. However he has kind of redefined himself in something like the role Marco Pierre White has, that of helping people who don’t like cooking and would otherwise order takeaways and buy readymeals to cook. He gets that most people don’t have time nor effort to source authentic ingredients and gives them easy, healthy alternatives. Also he was the only one to ever take a stand over the awful, processed food our school kids get given every day. I’m a cook and work with cooks who love to disparage Jamie Oliver as a terrible chef and frankly, he is. But instead of focusing on fine dining he actually thinks about what ordinary people eat everyday and for me that makes him kind of inspirational
Damion, I'm very interested in your statements RE Jamie. I knew he wasn't a high level chef. I did not know he did the things you claim in the UK. As for over here in the States, I saw him go through the re-inventing process that @a Google User writes. Having put myself through college doing cooking, I have a huge respect for restaurant level professional cooking. I saw Jaime on a tour going through American towns and getting people to talk about the fried food, its healthyness (or lack of) and American obesity. I applaud and thank him for that. At the time I thought it was so campy its was pandering and not serious. But pandering or not, it did start discussion about how healthy food is in America. I'll go one more, he looked at the schools nutrition and found a lot of it to be lacking as well.
@@ceruleanfish6703 I remember that time very well. He had been a celebrity TV chef over here for some years, but had basically disappeared. He used the USA for publicity, seemingly as a tool to relaunch his career. Honestly your country was an easy target because of the things that were legal in the US but banned in Europe.
He got the same discussions going on in this country using his "discoveries" in the US. Unfortunately he made seemingly no attempt to distinguish what was going on in the different countries, it appeared at times he was even encouraging the misinformation. But then, a lot of what he "discovered" in the US was misinformation. For example, the now infamous "Pink Slime". Not used over here, but he had a huge portion of our population believing it was in our food. (McDonalds in the UK had very simple, good quality beef mince from British and Irish farms, and none of the weirdness of the US ingredients list, but Jamie had masses convinced the use of Pink Slime was a real thing in the UK). His information on it in the US was off, and he was making a lot of stuff up.
He did start a discussion over school food, again using the information he had from the US to argue that our schools were serving up really unhealthy rubbish. There were some schools that were not serving up good food, and this has led to the worst schools in the country having better food. BUT, many schools now having much lower quality, nutritionally worse food being dished up. His actions led to many schools feeling they had to switch over to outside providers which are private companies cooking on very strict budgets with far higher overheads. Many schools went from good quality, freshly prepared and cooked onsite meals, to cheap mass produced ready meals. It led to schools depriving children of food packed by parents because some staff member deemed the child's packed lunch to be "Too unhealthy". (I had a massive row with my son's school board over this as a governor, when they wanted to start searching children's packed lunches and confiscating food.)
He made a real mess of things over here.
Then there was his "campaign against obesity", followed by him piling on many extra pounds in his thirties.
The guy is a hypocrite and a joke. He may have started discussions that improved things in the US, but he used that to make himself look relevant in the UK and has caused widespread damage. Please, take him, you're welcome to him.
@@damionlee7658 Appreciate your time and the straight answer. Didn't know he ran with the Pink Slime too, ouch. Yes, that was a straight up hoax. Although the quality and sizing of the meat in fast food is sub par here for quite a few eateries. I've actually seen a boon in "higher quality" burger shops with claims of higher grade beef and ingredients. These shops come with higher prices sadly and have driven the cost of the poor Big Mac sky high, about $4.55 pounds royal. Oh, and its still just a Big Mac, no portion or quality change. You're still paying about $15 pounds for a high quality burger.
I had hoped the food quality discussion had helped in the US. Did not know it effected the UK as well, very sorry about that. We did have a few more strict guidelines here. But with the diversity in school districts there is quite a diversity in funding here for kids, sadly. It's highly political and tied locally to the money the district has. That still doesn't stop others from diverting money to other areas away from the kids. However, we always packed our kid lunch. The school lunch for what you got still was literally french fries or pizza or hot dogs, really low level food with no nutrition. I truly am sorry things went sour with the 3rd party people getting involved in the UK. Now, I'm curious if that happened domestically in the more affluent state systems. I won't point fingers at yours, but it sounds like what the highly political school boards would do over here. Move the issue to someone else keep blame of oneself, however with funding so low I don't know if they would be able to do it, hence the pizza I saw being served still.
Don't think we'd take him. From the digging I've done, I'm ready to buy a couple acres locally and go off grid and grow my own food. Bests~
@@ceruleanfish6703 my wife and I hope to one day have the space and good health to provide the majority of our own food. We can live in hope.
The school issue here was one of those things where things needed to change in some places. Burgers, pizza, shaped reformed meat products, fries were the daily for some schools, particularly in lower income areas. Parents didn't have the ability to make change, and for their children, what came out of Jamie Oliver's bid for attention was definitely a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately it was the same double edge sword that the introduction of the minimum wage was (the UK introduced a minimum wage in the 90s, and for the low paying jobs, child care, cleaning etc, it really helped. Unfortunately it caused a huge amount of hardship as large numbers of people, working jobs in factories particularly, but also retail and farming, suddenly saw their income drop substantially. To this day, most factory workers earn significantly less money than those same jobs did before the minimum wage; even if you don't take into account inflation. That is to say, much of the factory work in the 90s was paying £14 - £18 per hour, (about £30 - £40 adjusted for inflation), but today the average factory wage is only £8.39!)
Sorry, real tangent, but it helps to describe the similar effect which occurred with school meals. So for instance there were schools at the time who would cook onsite, fresh fish, whole cuts of meat, rice and potato dishes with fresh vegetables. But now just reheat trays of food, which is quite often burgers, pizza, fries etc.
Basically when the government introduce a minimum expectation for meals, many schools with lower quality meals used private companies to provide that minimum quality. Meanwhile many schools that far exceeded those standards switch to the same companies and their food service dropped down to the minimum requirement.
Truthfully, I despair for both our nations. There is so much division and pain, and so much hidden hardship. But, things are generally better than they were 100 years ago, and hopefully they will be better 100 years from now. At least we are making progress, if we look at the big picture.
Best wishes to you and yours also.

Yes, chili jam is like strawberry jam. Making jams and jellies is a way of preserving fruits and some vegetables past their growing season. Sugar is cooked with the produce, and poured into sterile jars, usually then covered with wax or sealed in a pressure cooker. It is a great way for keeping food for winter when you can’t eat it all in the season, no matter how many children you have.
No, your English is just fine. It is not stir-fry when Jamie adds water. It’s steaming.
Your egg fried rice looks delicious!
I’ve been using both wok and pan. The texture and taste of the rice are way different. With a wok, your fried rice get more flavorful and smokiness.
The paella pan, which exists almost exclusively for making paella in Spanish/Latin cuisine also is said to impart a unique flavor/character called socarrat; the crisp rice in contact with the bottom of the pan.
Cooking on cast-iron is said to be similarly unique.
I think the nonstick coating on most modern cookware prevents the food from having good contact with the hot pan and therefore can't char like a wok, paella, or cast iron and won't have the unique character created by that process.
My parents noticed I had whitewashed tastes despite hailing from a Filipino family. Eventually, when I grew up, I specialized in Western cooking as opposed to every other son who learned our old ways.
This adds a double layer of pain watching this video, because _I see where Jamie is coming from._ Olive Oil and dumping onions in first are _western_ sensibilities that make perfect sense if you're making a Pasta.
Unfortunately, that also means I see clear as day Jamie made no real effort to understand Asian food before emulating it - and worse, being one of the Western world's most well-known people trying to teach it.
This makes sense to me, I don't do Asian cooking beyond the occasional stir fry (and I'm not exactly following a recipe so much as whatever flavours I like!) and I'll default to olive oil for basically everything I cook, because to me it's what oil should taste like.
But then I'm not a professional chef trying to show people how this is actually done!
If he prefaced his videos on these by explaining that they're his personal ways of doing them, I could respect that more, though it seems as if his way is making it actively worse.
Sometimes chefs saying "X meal must always be cooked this way because THATS HOW ITS DONE" is just tradition (or less charitably, regional snobbery) and you can make extremely tasty food by ignoring them.
Other times you should sit down and shut up, because there's very often a reason why it's traditionally done that way and it may be vitally important.
Learn it, understand it, and THEN decide if you want to change it.
You're like a coconut. White inside lol.
@@Flash_345 banana you mean
@@Flash_345 Most would call me a coconut
Uncle Roger would prefer to call me a half-marinated egg
@@gino14 hahah watched that one too. I wonder if he reacted to that video too. Chef would flip out using soba for ramen. 😂
There is a saying "Putting water into cooked rice" which basically means ruining something after it is created. Mr. Oliver did exactly that.
I love the various forms of Asian cuisine, specifically Japanese and Korean (thank you US army), but I still prefer it to be true to their origins. The food is just do damn good that you don't need to add these modern western spins to them. Let them stand on their own, they absolutely can and they are delicious, beyond compare.
As a British person i can say Jamie is more a embarrassment than a "chef" he was popular some 15-20 years ago for trying to force "healthy living" and children (which he was found numerous times to never follow himself) and his restaurant chains are closing everywhere. He maybe was a chef but his time has passed and not in a good way, please don't judge all brits on him, some of us know how to enjoy and appreciate other cultures, Japanese is one of my favourite food types and i hate guys like Jamie who embarrass the nation like this.
I understand how you feel.
Howie Mandel is Canadian.
EDIT: And justin beiber, and Celine Dion.
In China everybody talks about how bad British foods are, but after visiting UK I found British foods quite decent, amazing cakes especially. I nearly decided to eat at Jamie‘s restaurant once but it scored so low on tripadvisor so I chose something else instead
@@roachzheng2652 good choice to make there, his restaurants are really expensive and the food is so small in portion that even children would leave hungry on a adults meal. Britain doesn't have a amazing pallet of cuisine as we just eat other culture foods (which i guess works) but glad you enjoyed the cakes, one thing we do enjoy is a good cake!
@@DarkCobra88 wish I can revisit after this covid thing finally ends. Western cakes generally are too sweet for us asians, but tasty nevertheless.
I know that not all British people are shameful like Jamie Oliver. Most of them are good people with a good taste about food. I also like British sweets, it's one of the most delicious sweets I've ever tasted. But Jamie Oliver is just a disappointment...... Yare yare daze......
I just want some people to stop “splashing water” on cooked rice, “draining cooked rice in a colander” and “running water through cooked rice”. Please stop. :(
It mentally hurts me seeing Jamie pouring water on the fried rice.

And Asians aren't the only ones pissed off with him.
I always feel like I'm sitting with a friend, showing them Uncle Roger videos and watching their reaction. Awesome video!!
Jamie Oliver is a well known British chef with several published books and tv shows, a lot of them popular where I live (Portugal).
Personally I don't enjoy his recipes and his overall demeanor. The videos he publishes don't help him either, since I've notice that a lot of times he uses it to take little jabs at Uncle Gordon, who makes much better easily to follow recipes and is a lot more popular and talented.
Oh, they both hate each other too, making the fact that Uncle Roger loved Uncle Gordon's dish and hated Jamie's 10x funnier.
The rice from the bag is already cooked for those ~~lazy~~ who don't have time to cook rice.
Yeah, and Jamie Oliver likes to "try cooking healthy", which makes it strange when he suggests an addition to a standard recipe. That's why the tofu is in there. He probably knows it's not there to improve the dish for taste or texture, what he wants is to "make it healthy".
@@afelias
if he wants to make it healthy he should have left out all that extra olive oil and the chillijam.
also the pre-cooked rice is full of artificial conservatives which makes the whole thing even worse.
jamie is always preaching but never practicing what he preaches.
in short hes a hypocrite.
I like Gordon Ramsay. I dislike Jamie Oliver for making jabs at him. plus Jamie's food is boringly healthy and basic looking, as well as not as nice looking. Gordon's food is more enriching and tasty and the presentation is also nicer.
I use a scope to pour grains into a rice cooker. Soak in water for a while and by the time the dinner is ready the rice has been done for a bit. Why do you need precooked rice? It doesn't take four hours to cook rice. Put rice in water before you go to work. Get your kids to drain the water and measure water.
@@uteriel282 Yeah, I read on those cooking oil bottles, olive, and so on, there are more calories per 100 gram than there is in butter.

The idea of preparing Japanese cuisine intrigues me and seems like an exciting venture to undertake someday. I must admit, though, I'm not the most skilled when it comes to cooking. While I am capable of preparing basic dishes, the intricacy of dishes like Onigiri poses a challenge. I remember my attempt at making Onigiri, which unfortunately didn't turn out as expected. However, it's important to remember that it was my first attempt. Failure is a stepping stone to improvement, and one can't expect to get everything right on the first try. Even the best chefs had to start somewhere, right? I remain optimistic and excited about the possibility of enhancing my culinary skills, especially in the realm of Japanese cooking. Who knows, maybe with practice and patience, I might just master the art of Onigiri! ^_^

Essentially 'packet rice' is pre cooked rice that needs to just be reheated however the quality of packet rice is below any standard
It’s pretty much meant for convenience rather than quality, stick it in the microwave for a few minutes and serve. I do think it’s actually suitable for fried rice though, which is a recipe specifically to use up old leftover rice the next day.
@@andysutcliffe3915 can't agree, packet rice is mushy whereas leftover rice is dryer and more suitable to fried rice, packet rice is only suitable when you know you aren't getting good fried rice
The UK has a HUGE amount of "convenience" foods that are designed for busy people who don't have time to boil rice etc.
So yes, you probably wouldn't find packet pre-cooked rice in most countries but that's what it is! I can't imagine using it though - it's probably horrible!
Precooked, heat in packet for one minute in microwave
But I like instant rice in Japan and korea... the rice is great.. esp when you on holiday and cannot cook much.. put in the oven for 2 minutes and the rice is warm and fluffy
The way these 2 said "What!!!" at the same time when Jamie start pouring water on his rice.
8:19 You know you screwed a recipe when both viewers said "what?"
No when both Asians dudes say at the same time
All. I've seen a few more reactions to this, actually got here from Vietnamese parents react to the Uncle Roger HATE. Everybody reacts the same.
I understand why a wok is ideal for cooking egg fried rice. When my parents cook egg fried rice, that huge fume of smoke from the wok (a.k.a. the Wok Hay) is the most satisfying smell you can have when you're using the outdoor kitchen. P.S. I live in a Filipino household where we have an indoor kitchen and an outdoor kitchen.
Edit: I would rather not mess around with packet rice. Overnight/Day-old rice is and will always be a must for cooking egg fried rice.
@@xXJokerAtWorkXx So do I. I have an induction stove as well which is why whenever we cook something that requires high heat like egg fried rice, we take it outside where the gas stove is. In this situation, the indoor kitchen is meant more for preparation such as cooking the egg, chopping the veg, scooping out the remainder of what rice we have, all that good stuff. And yes, definitely recommend having an outdoor kitchen because when you cook something high heat with the wok inside the house, the smell’s gonna stick everywhere for days. As much as I love the smell of egg fried rice in the morning, I don’t think you want that smell on your sofa and stuff.
Edit: There are many versions of egg fried rice like Yang Chow for Chinese, Nasi Goreng for Indonesian, but a definite favorite of mine has to be pork adobo egg fried rice omelette. Personally for diet purposes that relates to religious reasons, I’m not totally open to the idea of eating pork. However in such a case, it cannot be helped. Pork adobo egg fried rice is the best thing Filipinos have come up with when it comes to savory cooking.
@@nicholascauton9648 best adobo rice is days old adobo with an additional glob of minced garlic, and rehydrating the leftover rice with the adobo sauce. Never did my adobo rice with eggs before, but I just might try it one day.
@@MaverickRiou Trust me, it's one of the best things you could do with your life. Here in Hawaii, particularly in the town of Waipahu (on the island of Oahu) there's this family restaurant business called "Elena's" and their fan-favorite dish is pork adobo egg fried rice omelette. My mom replicated the recipe very closely because she understands how to actually make it and she never even works there.
@@nicholascauton9648 i don't care, my mom don't care about the Snell. We just use outdoor kitchen for big event. Hehe

Uncle Roger is a legend. Packet rice in the UK is precooked rice for lazy people, all you need to do is warm it up. Problem is its more expensive also.
10:01. (Brit in the States). Another option at my local Asian supermarket, is fresh tofu blocks in containers, that you can pick out and put in a plastic bag.
I’m Jamaican, Jamie Oliver desecrated Jerk seasoning by making an atrocity called punchy jerk rice. I feel the pain in this recipe 😂.
Bahahahahaha! It gets mentioned at the end of the video. I thought he hates rice too 😂.
He also did the same thing with paella
Some things aren't for "fusion" cooking
Some might say, MANY things.
British are used to coming to people's land making it their own, now they're trying to do it with food
@@rooooooby No, not paella! Guess I need to torture myself with that recipe.
"Packet rice" is pre-cooked rice that is reheated by putting the bag in boiling water. And I know this because my sister gave me some packets. I guess because I'm fat and single, maybe I look stupid and lazy? Honestly, I cook my rice in my rice cooker. So I don't know what packet rice tastes like.
And as for the jam, my mother once bought a jar of jalapeno jelly. It was not very sweet, it was very hot and yes.. disgusting.
I've never used a rice cooker, I just use the old 2:1 measure, and my favorite cooking pot
Edit: it's came out nice and sticky every time. I don't really know what I would want to eat with non sticky rice
I've had jam in some savory (usually breakfast) sandwiches that matched well with salty foods for a more complex taste, but never like. Adding it to something being cooked D: Not even for a sweet dish
Water and Steel the packet rice in my area of the US is to be heated in the microwave. I thinking of bother the shelf stable and frozen options.
No, packaged rice in the UK is something you can just open the package and eat straight from the bag. Of course you can microwave it or reheat it on a pan or whatever. No refrigeration needed. Just like a pack of crisps
Packet Rice is disgusting. Ate it once in college thinking it would be easy and fast. Never again.....
I'm a pasty white American and everything Jamie did made me squirm. If I ever catch someone putting jam into my rice there's going to be violence. LOL

Glad to know that she knows the meme now XD
I dont know if anyone explained it, but the "packet rice" Jamie was using is a common pre-cooked rice often portioned out as "single serve" rice. Its mainly used by people who don't know how to cook rice and honestly has the worst texture. Its somehow both very dry and mushy at the same time.
As a half Chinese-Thai whose had studied Japanese in my college, your series clarify things more on how the rice culture has been doing. Subscribed to both channels.
People of 2020:

Shit. We as a species peaked, arent we?
And reacting to it
Omg u right

I'm brand new to this channel. I LOVE your style, you seem to be very genuine, and your video is also very gentle on the ears and eyes. I really look forward to your content, I'm going to check more now! God bless, from the West Coast in America
I love how Jamie is gradually accumulating this army of befuddled asians scrutinising his eastern recipe credentials, he cant ignore them forever lol
I’ve always thought that Jamie Oliver has a tendency to “wing it”, ie make it up as he goes along, and these two experienced Asian cooks are really showing him up for a bluffer. Jamie relies on his viewers being totally ignorant so they don’t know any better! It’s obvious that the strong, Mediterranean flavour of olive oil would be all wrong for the delicate flavour of rice. I use rice bran oil, which has a lovely light, slightly nutty aroma.
Nigel Ng isn't even a chef! He just knows about things like that because Malaysia has a big food culture. You can go and order fried rice from a hawker stall and stand 1m away from the guy and watch him cook it for you right there and then.
To answer your questions,
1. Jamie Oliver is a very popular British chef he’s also pretty well known in America and Canada and has a whole bunch of cooking shows.
2. packet rice is that you cook in a microwave for like 2-3 minutes. Personally I don’t really like it, it always comes out super oily and wet, It’s kind of nasty.
3. I have never heard of Chili jam but I am familiar with something called red pepper jelly. It’s sweet with a little kick and very British. the classic way to eat it is with cream cheese or Brie on cracker. You can also use it as an ingredient for a meat glaze or make it into a creamy dip. The fact that he put “chilli jam” on egg fried rice astounds me.
Maybe so but I would never eat his food if he cannot even follow proper simple traditional recipes according to the countries that created them.
@@spikebloodworth1 Ya missing HIS point, he's made his living for donkeys years doing just that !! I despair, betimes.........
This was “precooked” rice. So presumably ready to be used. I’ve never heard of it or seen it until that video.

He ain’t no chef, I as a home cook and baking business owner is more of a chef than Jaimie
I love your background music! Hearing people enjoy country (especially from the time i grew up) makes me excited! Im always reminded of when i was in 2nd grade and all the teachers taught us how to line dance so we could perform for our parents! 😊😊
the anology for packet rice is just like what uncle roger said, it's like instant noodle so you can say that packet rice is instant rice but the only difference is that instant noodle is good, while packet rice is disappointment and disrespect towards asian culture.
Packet rice is worse than instant rice. It's soggy pre-cooked rice.
I've always ran away from that shit when I saw it, one time I thought of getting it out of curiosity (it just looked so weird) thanks for saving my pain
Now we need Jamie Oliver to react to this video and the cycle is complete.
How many people can react to other people reacting to a video recursively until it becomes garbage?
Hahahahha I like
The packet rice is precooked in a bag that you reheat in the microwave. It's already dead. xD The soul is GONE!
My favourite parts of these videos are when Roger and Yuya both say "What?!" Or "Disgusting!" at the same time or one after the other. Their minds are on the same wavelength.
