The Asian measuring method when it comes to cooking simply boils down to: keep putting the stuff in until you hear the voice of your ancestors say, "That's enough, my child."
"You got some leftover rice? Don't waste it! Let's fry it for the next meal." That's our usual mentality, and thus another factor why we favor using Stale Rice for making Fried Rice.
The key to good Asian fried rice is to make sure each grain of rice is separated, seasoned well and not soggy. Asian short grain rice tends to be sticky and clumpy when freshly cooked, which is good to enjoy by itself but not ideal for making stir fried rice. Over night rice gets drier thus more suitable for stir fry.
American white girl here. I've always made rice the Asian way. I don't understand why so few westerners have a rice cooker. Until I found Uncle Roger's videos, I thought nearly everyone had one, but now I'm questioning all my friends and coworkers. It's true... most of them don't own one. That's a staple kitchen item that stays on the counter, along with the coffee pot and toaster! Why make it so difficult and unnecessary?? Also... I sit with the leg up too. I feel like with both legs down it cuts off circulation.
@@Jennie_B_Gaming I think it's because their staple food are not rice but grain/wheat, so they don't see the need to have a rice cooker. Also, maybe because they never eat a white rice with a dish, or they think rice in packet have same taste like the one cooked in rice cooker. Not that I ever tried packet rice.
American Black guy here. I've bought a rice cooker and I've used it frequently. Before that, I used to cook it on the stove and let the water steam the rice, thus the Asian way. I didn't even know it was the Asian way. I recently learned a year or so ago about the finger method, so now I always measure my water this way. It has been fool proof so far. Great job on the video, by the way. Keep up the good work.
A black guy cooking rice with the finger method. Now that's a milestone 👍 *I'm asian, and in our westerner stereotype, I'd have never picture that, lol.
@@damiester1 That's because I have respect for Asian culture. I have respect for a lot of cultures but I prefer Japanese culture the most. Especially seeing how nicely they treated me and my wife during our two week vacation there.
I heard that "Leg up on chair" comment by Uncle Roger and you were like "A lot of asians sit with their leg up on the chair" and I was like "Huh? No i dont sit like that" then I just realized im doing it the moment I'm typing this comment that im sitting with my leg up lol. THAT IS SO TRUE!!!! That's funny hahahaha.
Im not asian, but here in panama almost everybody eats rice everyday. i tend to wash it between 4 or 5 times, but i only use the rice cooker when i dont have enought time to cook it in a metal pot, because people in the house like to eat the toasted rice that is formed after preparing the rice.
when it's about flavourings, asians give full freedom for the others to adjust. for beginners: if you like it sweeter, you could add more sugar, if you want it more savoury, you could add more salt. for intermediates: types of sweetness: white sugar, yellow sugar, red sugar, coconut sugar, honey, rock sugar... types of savoury: fish sauce from different countries, chicken msg, fish msg, beef msg, salt, soy sauce from different countries. up to you to experiment.
8:20 I remember a Chinese girl in school once saying something along the lines of "You should only be proud once, the first time you succeeded." Implying the same thing, that you should always strive to improve and get better. That stuck with me because the Ultima series had already instilled the idea of pride being harmful.
I love how uncle roger put humor on his videos and now seeing a beautiful korean reacts on his videos make me giggle. Ps, just subscribed and notified. God bless.
Fun side note. Jamie’s dish has almost no seasoning at all. At least hersha Patel added soy sauce. Jamie just added chili jam and some black pepper no salt.
@@elcamp3 eh kinda? In my experience it’s more about proper ratios and technique. Granted I don’t make cakes from scratch but with bread it’s more about the ratio of flour and water than it is specific measurements.
@@Heiryuu Ratios are measurements. My grandmother would use handfuls as measurements, or pinches. She'd used to tell me to use two handfuls of flour to 3 pinches of baking soda. A handful or a pinch is different depending on who is doing it, but the ratio remains the same.
14:37 is my favorite part of this video. I like how your facial expression changes from all smiles and smirks to seeing something turn from weird to horrifying.
I'm chinese and though I know that in Asian cooking, we just eyeball everything, I absolutely need measurements and instructions or I can't cook xD but no matter how much of a novice I am in the kitchen, even I know that everything hersha and Jamie did were wrong xD
Ajin-No-Moto is the reference brand for MSG. I'm a Vietnamese French and this is the brand Asian pros use. I remember some years back, when that bad publicity against MSG started, we had a lot of problem getting supplied with Ajin-No-Moto brand. We had to use other brands but they don't taste as good. Then while visiting Spain, my mom found out an Asian market selling Ajin-No-Moto brand. She bought dozens of kilograms to supply the family restaurant. These last years we've been able to find back that brand in France.
His Gordon Ramsay fried rice review is amazing. Please think about doing that one next. Also, yes, chili jam is a sweet chili preserve. Sugar is the main preservative agent. Not as sweet as say, a fruit jam, and it still retains the heat of the chili.
“Who cooks rice like this?!” “White people.” Hey, don’t look me. My mom and I are both white and when we saw that for the first time we had the same WTF reaction, LOL. We’ve never seen anyone cook rice like that before, must be a British thing. But yeah, I really want a rice cooker now.
My grandmother taught me how to cook rice, she cooked rice the same way since 1925 and she cooked it the right way. So yes, this has to be a British thing.
I just found out about Uncle Roger and find him hilarious! Being Korean born American, US Soldier Dad, and moving to the states as a child I must have had alot ingrained in me haha. When I cook people always ask me for my recipes and I'm like 😶, here are the ingredients add until it tastes right lol. I now have kids and my oldest is almost 16 and they have been cooking since they were old enough to be in the kitchen, they always laugh when their friends talk about how they eat or cook rice. It makes my eye twitch 😫. I never knew about the leg up though as thats funny cause my kids and I all sit like that, its always been more comfortable for us.
Uncle Roger - THE PRIDE OF MALAYSIAN CHINESE REPRESENT YO! Hahaha! Fun fact (not sure if it’s verified): Heard he was a data scientist back in Malaysia but chose to be comedian based in London. The irony of it all? He’s making more money as a comedian than as a data scientist in good ol’ Malaysia. Haiyaaaaa 🤷🏻♂️
@Cal Can I advise you something? Hahaha. Oh if you get the reference, can I ask you to watch one video of mine that talks about job interview techniques and see if you can get the reference there? 🙏🏻
His accent is legit tbh. That's what Malaysian accent sounds like. Sometimes we fit 3 to 4 different language in their sentences. The leg thingy is kinda telling that when he's put his leg down mean he's getting serious instead of relaxing posture like leg on the chair.
@@ziyuansim5090 Malaysian can speak different dialect. We not only speak mandarin, we can speak Cantonese and few other dialect.

Now that you’ve reacted to Uncle Roger’s egg fried rice videos you should definitely react to Uncle Roger reacts to Gordon Ramsay’s egg fried rice...that’s his most popular video right now LOL
That was a very Korean style of reaction. I was not expecting any laughter or even something more than a smirk. Soooooo innocent and cute (and a bit trace of korean serious poker face) 😁
Just like you, I expected more from Jamie Oliver, too. He should know that olive oil is not suitable for stir frying. It has relatively low smoke point. If exposed to higher temperatures, it becomes bitter. That is why neutral oils are always suitable for stir fry dishes.
Olive oil IS suitable for high temperature cooking, but i don't know what percentage (probably very small) of people know, that there's something called "refined olive oil", and it's smoking point is of a peanut, or sunflower oil. You can even fry with an extra virgin olive oil, but it has to be top quality and you won't find these in your typical market. I'm not Asian, i'm from Europe, so i haven't been eating much Asian food in my life compared to the other European cuisines, but i think the biggest problem with using olive oil for cooking Asian food is the taste it gives. It's very strong and it compliments Meditarreanan cuisine, not Asian. By the way, Jamie's use of olive oil everywhere, on everything, in every amount is a meme already, so i'm not surprised that he doesn't even bother using the proper oil, considered that he butchered the recipe anyway :D
I actually i try to use olive to make fried rice a long time ago. It makes the fried rice taste really weird. It's better just use peanut oil or sunflower oil or other cooking oil.
lol remember when Jamir Oliver tried to get kids to stop eating chicken nuggets by showing them how it's made and it backfired. he was so crushed and it felt so good to see lol
@@anna.lee_jy this was years ago but it's hilariously an instant classic added a link. try not to laugh too hard. his soul is crushed. th-cam.com/video/2NmZlp2XuBw/w-d-xo.html
Kinda get what Oliver meant by fried rice as a side dish. In Japan, while chahan can be ordered as a meal, it is more often than not just a side dish, because it isn't a fully nutritional meal. Japanese meals/dinners, whether outside or at home, usually consist of multiple dishes; a main with rice, salad or pickles vegetables and soup (most often miso soup). Chahan is usually served together with ramen, gyoza, mabou-dofu, or karage etc. Few people, except when pressed for time or money, would just serve up one big helping of chahan as a standalone meal.
@@homuramikazuki5086 Eh no. It's commonly sold and consumed in Japan as a side dish. It's actually more commonly sold amd consumed as a side dish than as a main dish, because again, fried rice is not a complete meal by Japanese standards.
I get what you're saying. In the Philippines, we don't usually eat fried rice alone because it's not a complete meal. We eat it with some other dish, but it is still the main dish. Some other food becomes the side dish. With us, anything with rice is the main dish
@@abolcayrmacararab3901 That's very different from Japan. Rice may be a part of a main course, but rice is not considered the main dish unless you're just eating Onigiri for lunch or something. Rice is to meals in Japan what potatoes or bread are to westerners. That is to say, if you order a steak, or a fish, or pretty much anything, you eat it WITH rice. You don't eat rice WITH steak. Chahan is an extension of this. You eat Ramen with Chahan. Or Gyoza with chahan. Or Mabodofu with Chahan etc. Of course there are single dish chahan meals, however, it just isn't very normal.
3:31 You only wash the rice once? I don't know if that's gonna cut it. Usually it takes more than one wash to get the water to look clear. Great video, by the way. I love Uncle Roger. He's the reason why we're all getting through 2020 with laughs and smiles on our (sometimes masked) faces.
I'm white, and *I* know not to fry in olive oil! Yeah, chili jam is just what it sounds like - a jam made with chilies instead of strawberries or raspberries or whatever. Makes for good PB&J...but I wouldn't *cook* with it - especially with Huy Fong Foods just ten miles from my house (no chili-grinding tours this year - sad).
For real. When I first saw that, I was like: "I hate the idea of beating up women. But for her, I'm making an exception." But of course, as we all know now, she actually does know how to cook properly. And she was essentially forced to cook rice in a terrible way.
Pride cometh before the fall. Humility allows one to perpetually & continually ''stumble uphill''. Bruce Lee said: ''If I said I was the best fighter, you'd call me cocky. If I said I was a bad fighter, you'd know I'm lying.'' (paraphrased) Notice how he dances around actually answering so elegantly. It's beautiful.
There are various types of olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil can have a smoke point of 400 °F which is on par with peanut oil that can go - depending on production method - from 350 to 450 °F. The type used for salads usually has a much stronger flavor and a much lower smoke point. So the low smoke point is a common misconception regarding olive oil. But if you factor in neutrality and cost, there are better and cheaper alternatives. The cost becomes really an issue when you have to import. Here in Germany I prefer rapeseed oil (canola) which has a smoke point in the range of 428 to 446 °F, is very neutral in taste and has a very (!) high amount of unsaturated fats. The unsaturated fat part is where many other oils suck - sesame is great, though.
After saw the other TH-camrs reacting to his video, I think you are the only one saying whichever part were true. The other are literally react to his gag, not the way how you should cook the egg fried rice. I love how you react. It's like a pro, although it's "reacting to react". 😆 Hope to see you reacting other uncle Roger react video. Anyway, love your video and keep it up ♥️♥️♥️
@@anna.lee_jy Exactly! The best joke ever. I've watched it dozens of times, and I laughed at this line EVERY time! The picture that Mulan starts to sing at the fried rice is so vivid!
..and I don't think she needs MSG in her cooking anymore, everything looks perfect..haha 😆 (syhhh..Uncle Roger is staring at me while shaking his head..haiyaa! What you say? What you say?)
Man, after watching japanese reacting to chinese reacting to indian cooking rice the british way ? Now its time for korean reacting to chinese reacting to indian cooking rice the british way !!! I love it !!
Having a Cajun Mother I grew up eating all kinds of rice dishes. My Mother never once measured rice and water it was all done by eye. I use the first joint on my index finger method like Uncle Roger. Anna not all White people Cajuns and other people in the deep south of the US know how to make rice. Louisiana has 400.000 acres that produces close to 400million dollars in sales. Thats just my home state. Jamie Oliver should stay with the bland English foods lol I fear he will ruined our dirty rice and jambalaya next. Loved Your reactions to these post by Uncle Roger.
I feel a bit bad for him, he had to close down all of his restaurants in the UK recently so I don't know how well he's doing...:( But thank you for watching!
@Anna Lee, I am 1/2 Korean adopted as a baby, exported to USA.😎 I sit with my legs up, always have. When I make rice I don't use a cooker. I use a heavy saucepan, with a tight lid. I start on high as soon as it starts to bubble I turn the heat all the way down and walk away. Suddenly I remember my rice! It always is just finished. Not stuck to the pan. No water in the pan. :-) Ps. Your a very lovely lady.
Thank you! 😊

So far, every asian nationality that has seen this, agrees on using stale rice.
The texture is more suitable for fried rice, rather than hot freshly made rice! :)
Stale rice absorbs flavour better i think.
"You got some leftover rice? Don't waste it! Let's fry it for the next meal."
That's our usual mentality, and thus another factor why we favor using Stale Rice for making Fried Rice.
Basically cook some fresh rice & store it away for a day or two. My mother did that to make her fried rice.
The key to good Asian fried rice is to make sure each grain of rice is separated, seasoned well and not soggy. Asian short grain rice tends to be sticky and clumpy when freshly cooked, which is good to enjoy by itself but not ideal for making stir fried rice. Over night rice gets drier thus more suitable for stir fry.

@DarkEternal6 take note of the word used, "asian" not "italian". We wash rice even if we make rice porridge.
Opps! I only wash the rice 3 times, lazy me...
Western cooking unit: teaspoon, tablespoon, cup, quart, ounce, ml, liter, gallon, pound...

I wanted to try that but my belly wont let me.
Yep. I do it. 😂 To the point my grandparents say put your leg down at the dinner table. 🤣
yeah same thing here.. even in office i feel like i am very productive when i put my leg up.. hahaha.. so strange
I'm literally sitting with my leg on the chair right now, and I'm not even Asian😂😂😂
this is worth a sub now im gonna check all your old videos
Thank you! 🌸
Uncle Roger doesn't need you to review him. Get him a new aunty.
Packet rice appears.
Uncle Roger and Anna: *Surprised Pika-face*
Me: ...blasphemy!!!
I am BBJ, British Born in Japan and I can totally agree.
That was a very Korean style of reaction. I was not expecting any laughter or even something more than a smirk. Soooooo innocent and cute (and a bit trace of korean serious poker face) 😁
Uncle Roger knows best.
Egg fried rice makes the world go around. Good veejo as Uncle Roger would say. Look forward to watching your next one.
Haha yes! Thank you for watching :)
the transition of Anna's face from mildly amused to "what have you done..." tho
Just like you, I expected more from Jamie Oliver, too. He should know that olive oil is not suitable for stir frying. It has relatively low smoke point. If exposed to higher temperatures, it becomes bitter. That is why neutral oils are always suitable for stir fry dishes.
👏
Not much reaction but that constant smile was 10/10.
Wow just came across this video after I uploaded my reaction to Uncle Roger! Great video ❤️
Thank you! 💜
Love this, Anna! 😆🤗 asian here 🙋🏻♀️
“So punny” so funny because of the pun
Olive oil IS suitable for high temperature cooking, but i don't know what percentage (probably very small) of people know, that there's something called "refined olive oil", and it's smoking point is of a peanut, or sunflower oil. You can even fry with an extra virgin olive oil, but it has to be top quality and you won't find these in your typical market. I'm not Asian, i'm from Europe, so i haven't been eating much Asian food in my life compared to the other European cuisines, but i think the biggest problem with using olive oil for cooking Asian food is the taste it gives. It's very strong and it compliments Meditarreanan cuisine, not Asian. By the way, Jamie's use of olive oil everywhere, on everything, in every amount is a meme already, so i'm not surprised that he doesn't even bother using the proper oil, considered that he butchered the recipe anyway :D
You're right that olive oil changes the taste!
I actually i try to use olive to make fried rice a long time ago. It makes the fried rice taste really weird. It's better just use peanut oil or sunflower oil or other cooking oil.
So far every asian reacting to uncle Roger vids are so cute!
lol remember when Jamir Oliver tried to get kids to stop eating chicken nuggets by showing them how it's made and it backfired. he was so crushed and it felt so good to see lol
I don't know about this, what happened? 😅
@@anna.lee_jy this was years ago but it's hilariously an instant classic added a link. try not to laugh too hard. his soul is crushed.

I like this reaction video. As an Asian, it's so true about what Uncle Roger and Anna says. 100% agree!
Kinda get what Oliver meant by fried rice as a side dish.
In Japan, while chahan can be ordered as a meal, it is more often than not just a side dish, because it isn't a fully nutritional meal.
Japanese meals/dinners, whether outside or at home, usually consist of multiple dishes; a main with rice, salad or pickles vegetables and soup (most often miso soup).
Chahan is usually served together with ramen, gyoza, mabou-dofu, or karage etc.
Few people, except when pressed for time or money, would just serve up one big helping of chahan as a standalone meal.
I love Japanese food 😋
well fried rice can only end up as a side dish if the chef messes up that badly
@@homuramikazuki5086
Eh no. It's commonly sold and consumed in Japan as a side dish. It's actually more commonly sold amd consumed as a side dish than as a main dish, because again, fried rice is not a complete meal by Japanese standards.
I get what you're saying. In the Philippines, we don't usually eat fried rice alone because it's not a complete meal. We eat it with some other dish, but it is still the main dish. Some other food becomes the side dish. With us, anything with rice is the main dish
@@abolcayrmacararab3901
That's very different from Japan.
Rice may be a part of a main course, but rice is not considered the main dish unless you're just eating Onigiri for lunch or something.
Rice is to meals in Japan what potatoes or bread are to westerners.
That is to say, if you order a steak, or a fish, or pretty much anything, you eat it WITH rice. You don't eat rice WITH steak.
Chahan is an extension of this.
You eat Ramen with Chahan. Or Gyoza with chahan. Or Mabodofu with Chahan etc.
Of course there are single dish chahan meals, however, it just isn't very normal.
I actually know him...because in this quarantine youtube turned my youtube recommendation into scrambled eggs
Scrambled eggs haha 😂
3:31 You only wash the rice once? I don't know if that's gonna cut it. Usually it takes more than one wash to get the water to look clear. Great video, by the way. I love Uncle Roger. He's the reason why we're all getting through 2020 with laughs and smiles on our (sometimes masked) faces.
Thought the same thing. Here in Japan, the rule is to wash until the water clears, however many times that takes.
Masked faces yes....and yes I should wash it twice, I'm a bad and lazy Asian 😆
hian Same thing for Filipino households. In fact, Jo Koy explains it best here. th-cam.com/video/45wHe9KdmrQ/w-d-xo.html
If u live in Asia u wash the rice 5 times
Don't wash it over 3x. Trust me.
your english is amazing. that uncle roger guys was so funny. thanks for sharing
Thank you! My English is actually better than my Korean haha
Yes Jamie's chilli jam has sugar in it so it must be sweet. But you know what else is sweet, you are. You got pretty eyes XD
😊
I'm white, and *I* know not to fry in olive oil!
Yeah, chili jam is just what it sounds like - a jam made with chilies instead of strawberries or raspberries or whatever. Makes for good PB&J...but I wouldn't *cook* with it - especially with Huy Fong Foods just ten miles from my house (no chili-grinding tours this year - sad).
Chilli jam for PB&J, interesting! And yes the olive oil made me laugh XD
yes! finally i found a korean react to uncle roger, and you are so gorgeous
I really like to eat fried rice, there's more type about this fried rice they cook it with different style...😋😋😋
I must be asian then 😂 I always sit like Uncle Roger. Great video!
“I’m so upset, I put leg down from chair!” Lol
You laugh so elegantly 😂💕💕💕
LoL
Funny and interesting reaction 😂
😆
Go and watch Gordon Ramsay fried rice, uncle Roger approved and call uncle Gordon.
Yes I watched that one, very funny XD
10:31 Uncle Roger said that sesame oil is not for cooking. Guess you will be disowned by your parents 😂
There's nothing more stratifying that warm rice with some side dish...cannot have that satisfaction with bread, roti, naan, chapati
OMG Anna, i love your smile and the way you laugh.. very cute 😍 And i like your voice tone... very calming... 🤗 💤
Thank you! :)
so true haha I'll never truly learn my mom's cooking bc she just eyeballs everything!
The true Asian way! XD
i learned to eat egg fried rice because of watching Korean vlogs hehe. my mom used to cook but she always put aside plain rice for me hehe
Aww! I love it 🥰
Thanks loved your review greetings from Nairobi Kenya
Thank you for watching!
Uncle Roger is hilarious, but I keep getting distracted by that gorgeous smile ngl
What is BBC hahaha. Haha where is MSG 😂 I feel i need to learn the right way to cook now haha. Would love to see cookimg videos from you xx
I can't tell you on here what BBC is haha, you have to go look it up on google! 😆
@@anna.lee_jy You can go look up BWC too
When she ran the water over the rice, I was SO livid 😂
Right?? I've legit never seen someone do that 😂
For real. When I first saw that, I was like: "I hate the idea of beating up women. But for her, I'm making an exception."
But of course, as we all know now, she actually does know how to cook properly. And she was essentially forced to cook rice in a terrible way.
Lol, can't imagine Jamie Oliver would mess with tofu like this 🙈
Pride cometh before the fall.
Humility allows one to perpetually & continually ''stumble uphill''.
Bruce Lee said: ''If I said I was the best fighter, you'd call me cocky.
If I said I was a bad fighter, you'd know I'm lying.''
(paraphrased)
Notice how he dances around actually answering so elegantly.
It's beautiful.
There are various types of olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil can have a smoke point of 400 °F which is on par with peanut oil that can go - depending on production method - from 350 to 450 °F. The type used for salads usually has a much stronger flavor and a much lower smoke point. So the low smoke point is a common misconception regarding olive oil. But if you factor in neutrality and cost, there are better and cheaper alternatives. The cost becomes really an issue when you have to import. Here in Germany I prefer rapeseed oil (canola) which has a smoke point in the range of 428 to 446 °F, is very neutral in taste and has a very (!) high amount of unsaturated fats. The unsaturated fat part is where many other oils suck - sesame is great, though.
After saw the other TH-camrs reacting to his video, I think you are the only one saying whichever part were true. The other are literally react to his gag, not the way how you should cook the egg fried rice. I love how you react. It's like a pro, although it's "reacting to react". 😆
Hope to see you reacting other uncle Roger react video.
Anyway, love your video and keep it up ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!
I watch a lots reaction video, you might be the first one who is smile at when uncle roger say the reflection of Mulan part. 16:24 XD
That's the funniest part! 😂
@@anna.lee_jy Exactly! The best joke ever. I've watched it dozens of times, and I laughed at this line EVERY time! The picture that Mulan starts to sing at the fried rice is so vivid!
Jamie's became unhealthy when he denatured that olive oil in the hot pan.
You got another subscriber. First time watching a video in your channel. Hello! I'm from Philippines.
5:37 the fact that I was currently sitting with one leg up had me like "oh fck" 😂😂
welp, I guess it's out now lol
Just about have an egg fried rice 😂 I’m srilankan and yess uncle roger is so relatable!! 😂
Haha yes!! And enjoyyy 😋
As a black person, we also dont strain or rinse our rice after its cooked...where did she learn that?🤦🏾♂️
which country?
Could be an Engish thing (from England)
She is so pretty
Thank you :)
@@anna.lee_jy yes really sweet and beautiful. Elegant and eloquent too
..and I don't think she needs MSG in her cooking anymore, everything looks perfect..haha 😆 (syhhh..Uncle Roger is staring at me while shaking his head..haiyaa! What you say? What you say?)
Subbed. First one, including Uncle Roger to explain that the issue with olive oil is the low smoke point.
I’m SO glad you know about Uncle Roger 😂 this was great, more of these please!!
He's great haha 😆
ohh i never heard of him! haha im gonna look him up 😅 funny 🤩🤩
Do it, all his videos are so entertaining 😂
Man, after watching japanese reacting to chinese reacting to indian cooking rice the british way ? Now its time for korean reacting to chinese reacting to indian cooking rice the british way !!! I love it !!
Having a Cajun Mother I grew up eating all kinds of rice dishes. My Mother never once measured rice and water it was all done by eye. I use the first joint on my index finger method like Uncle Roger. Anna not all White people Cajuns and other people in the deep south of the US know how to make rice. Louisiana has 400.000 acres that produces close to 400million dollars in sales. Thats just my home state. Jamie Oliver should stay with the bland English foods lol I fear he will ruined our dirty rice and jambalaya next. Loved Your reactions to these post by Uncle Roger.
I feel a bit bad for him, he had to close down all of his restaurants in the UK recently so I don't know how well he's doing...:( But thank you for watching!
@@anna.lee_jy didnt know that. sad to hear.
@Anna Lee, I am 1/2 Korean adopted as a baby, exported to USA.😎 I sit with my legs up, always have. When I make rice I don't use a cooker. I use a heavy saucepan, with a tight lid. I start on high as soon as it starts to bubble I turn the heat all the way down and walk away. Suddenly I remember my rice! It always is just finished. Not stuck to the pan. No water in the pan. :-)
Ps. Your a very lovely lady.
I am very much indulge in your video review, can't wait to watch another video😊😊
