I love how the Chef explains different things such as why you want the pan a certain temp and other different tips which I find valuable because I like to know why I'm doing something. It helps me understand in a deeper way.
well, I love how he told us to raise the temperature back up ... without ever telling us why or when he lowered it. 😛 it would've helped if they wrote out the instructions for such details.
With the rice, I get excellent results with same day rice. Line the sheet pan with double paper towels, place a full sheet of parchment paper over the paper towels. Cook the rice and once done, transfer to sheet pan, and spread rice. Let rice cool for 10 minutes, and place into fridge (bottom shelf). I prepare the rice early in the AM, take rice out twice during the day and turn/breakup. Dampness will transfer through the parchment paper to the paper towels. By dinner it is ready to use. Excellent video, Cheers!!
I destarch the rice by simply boiling raw rice until it reaches the texture needed. After this, simply dump to a sieve and wash out the starch you may not want .. to your level- Next put into a rice cooker and press COOK, no additional water added. THis will dry up the rice nicely , remove it , let it cool and then marinade the rice with raw eggs until its very yellow as a way to prep it for frying.
Thank you!!!!! My wife has a chronic ailment and I'm learning how to pull my weight in the kitchen. You explained the process extremely well! I can't wait to get started on fried rice! Thank you again!
@@humanityandmeThis guy doing the bare minimum by throwing together something in the kitchen is a rather low/sad standard for what makes his partner lucky. Gee, I sure hope he can wipe his own bum while she’s out of commission too….that would make her really lucky indeed.
@@humanityandme mostly sativa. I have developed a chronic condition as well over the past few years, but I don't really smoke because of it, it probably actually makes it worse.
@@gabriatus9508 yeah, everyone uses leftover rice already, it's the pre-planning drying it out in a flat sheet in your fridge overnight part that he's suggesting makes it better. when you use leftover rice that's been stored in the pot, it stays moiste in the center of the pot.... not that i care, leftover rice is fine by me
I just made this tonight with jasmine rice cooked yesterday in my new rice cooker and dried in the fridge overnight. I added some peas and a little dash of oyster sauce for color and more umami! Best egg fried rice I’ve ever eaten! ❤❤❤
@@mrsue3398 I know ha ha ha. He's got time to fluff the rice to separate the grains. Who cares if they are sticking it would all end up in a pan anyways ha ha ha.
Pro tip if you don’t have the time to dry out rice: undercook the rice SLIGHTLY. This will leave it just firm enough to separate nicely while cooking. The texture will be perfect, assuming you do everything else properly.
I put mine in the freezer for a time. Refrigeration works by removing water and it works great. I leave it in the freezer while I prepare my other ingredients. By the time I'm done the rice is perfect.
Very intricate recipe and technique here. Not many recipes explain the importance of temperature control in fried rice, just that you need to get the wok ripping hot. This is a very good recipe+technique video for the home cook. Thank you chef!!
If you leave it in the fridge overnight (not spread out and in a container), you can break it off in large chunks with a wood spoon (or whatever you’re cooking with). Then wash your hands and just crush it with your hands. You can also cook it with less water and then use that.
The best fried rice I ever had was leftovers from a teppanyaki place in Branson, MO. When it sat in the box with the leftover meat and sauces, the flavors all kinda melded together and became amazing.
I think it would have been interesting to compare various kinds of fried rice. Considering SEA tends to use jasmine rice as opposed to East Asia, different ingredients will come into play and I’d love to see how it compares and if different techniques need to be taken
@@tammyrossa I'm indian so we only have basmati rice normally and I love fried rice so I use that when I make, It comes out really nice. I will defs try out jasmine soon after seeing this comment
Congrats… but 22nd anniversary and you cooked fried rice? She might be expecting a ribeye or a backribs or a grilled chicken…anyway it is always the thought that counts..😂
I made shrimp fried rice this week, and followed this recipe. I finally was able to make fried rice NOT soggy. Best fried rice I have ever made. THANK YOU!!
It does look very easy compared to other versions of this delicious dish. My ingredients for fried rice: garlic, ginger, red onion, carrots, scalions sweat peas, eggs, sessami oil, vegatable oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt and black peppers. Chicken, shrimp or diced ribeye steak for your choice to add.
Enjoyed the vid but a couple questions: 1 - Rice into “smoking hot pan” at 5:42, at 6:45 you say “we are going to turn this temp back up”. When did you turn it down??? 2 - Soy and salt only two seasonings? No oyster or fish sauce? No sesame oil?
Fried rice is really easy to make. One day I decided to to try it in my own without a recipe or a video. It came out amazing, to my surprise! But today I learned about heat control, how to prepare the rice, and why. My thanks to you chef!
Yes. The rice should have been cooked with less water. Or use a drier variety that works marvelous for fried rice. There are also techniques to 'plump' up the rice and separate the pieces during its rice cooking process. Like using vinegar. That works too.
Add lots of garlic and chili and it would be perfect. I personally like to add 6-7 Datil pepper and put in in towards the end so it's still semi-raw and extremely spicy.
I also used Japanese rice to make fried rice. You really don't need to separate the rice before you put it in the frige. Just make sure you put in the frige overnite. Separates and fries perfectly.
Calrose and nishiki rice are some of the most moist and sticky types of rice which make them great for sushi. Not so much for fried rice. Even this “pro” chef had balls of rice in his final product. Use jasmine if u can. It has a much better result.
@@RickRobichaudDG Fried rice expert here. Dont use japanese rice or jasmine rice. Use basmathi rice for best results. Basmathi has very little starch and is very firm and naturally seperated. No need to mess up your hands and do the oil trick here. Heck u can even use newly cooked rice coz the grains are so naturally seperated when its cooked.
I use to have a great gas stove, makes a big difference cooking this. I have an older electric stove and cook everything in stages like he's done. Except I velvet my shrimp, throw in some bean sprouts, peas, carrots, garlic, ginger, sesame oil.
Thanks for the video. I have been in the seafood business for a long time, and that's a nice size of 51/60. I used 51/60 to make shrimp egg rolls. Thanks againg your dish looks delicious.
@@stevethea5250 It's not said in the video. The first chapter in the in the description timestamp is called "Are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice?"
Wish you would have gone through the entire recipe starting with cooking the white rice! Do you rinse the rice, do you add butter or oil, do you add any salt, how much water rice / ratio then do you put in refrigerator overnight?
As he said, the best rice to use for fried rice is the type which separates as individual grains when cooked. This type of rice is the long-grain rice, such as basmati rice, not the short-grain rice he is using.
As an asian who has fried rice in my dna, that part where he started drying the rice on a tray felt so karen I thought this was a parody 😂 thanks for the techniques but ain't nobody got time for that! The chinese uncles at chinese restaurants have a cigarette in their mouth, tossing the wok while muttering curses under their breath
Thank you. I have never made any fried rice this tasty! Did not stick to my pan, and I made 1 serving only 425 calories. Yippee! Thank you for 'splaining things.🤩
This works. I've tried to make fried rice several times, always with leftover rice, but it still never worked. Getting the rice dry, separated, with a little oil was exactly what I needed. Thanks!!!!
You definitely gotta use *leftover* rice that has been in a fridge for a day. However, the drying+separating seems like a lot of unnecessary work. Just don't use freshly cooked rice.
It would've been nice to see this cooked in a regular home kitchen that likely had an induction stove. Especially since they acknowledge that not everyone can get it as hot as a restaurant
That range looks like a home burner to me. I don't think it does any more BTU than a standard American gas range. But Yea induction is a whole other challenge with wok cooking. I would suggest if you have any room outside to get a true outdoor wok grill.

The best instructional video. I learned so much. Thank you for sharing. One question though due to fridge space. How do Chinese restaurants fridge so much rice on trays? Can we get best results with the pot in the fridge?
@@belligirl21 Japanese fried rice isn't very highly seasoned. Japanese cuisine in general doesn't use much seasoning. An Indonesian or Thai variety is probably better for you.
My sentiments exactly, perfectly decent for a Wednesday mid-week lunch - but is it 'perfect'? Erm..no - rubbing each individual rice grain with oil seems unnecessary only to add even more oil later on, a good wok is barely sticky in the first place. Pre Frying the egg, again not really, most of the pro's use the 'yellow sun method by adding the raw egg mixture over the sizzling rice and then frantically tossing, you need a flame hotter than hell to pull this off. I usually cook the egg about half way then go in with the rice and the result should be good 😊 And yes MSG or at least lee kum kee chicken powder
Use Japanese short grain rice, separate the rice and dehydrate the pan overnight, add oil afterwards Cut the scallions, onions, Mix the eggs Use a wok and spread the ingredients to the side, add the oil and put it all over the wok Get the wok to hot temp, cook the eggs with no browning Take them out and then cook your meat Take it out then cook the onions and add some seasoning then add the rice Hear the rice pop Then add the eggs and meat Cook then add some black pepper and soy sauce Add the scallions And then it’s done
its probably bcs it's japanese fried rice, where they tend to use less flavoring to enhanced the taste of the ingredients. opposite of my country's (indonesia) fried rice who used a lot of shallots, garlic, soy sauce, sometimes even fermented shrimp paste and chili paste. the smell guarenteed to choke you up hahhaa
@@RosariaDewi Ah, yes, you're right, that makes sense. Maybe I'm used to another type. In any case, when I cook it at home and I forget the sesame oil, I notice immediately 😂
Fantastic , thank you chef .I am learning Chinese / Asian cooking . Video is very knowledgeable , for learning techniques and understanding concepts . Bon appetite
Well I now know what I’ve been doing wrong. I havent been drying my rice out. Ive just been putting the previously cooked rice in and causing lots of steam which has made my fried rice clump and have a bit of mush.
Fried rice in my childhood was always any kind of leftovers. Mostly delicious things and always a go to for snacks midnight often. My family is Indonesian
Very nice recipe very similar to how I cook mine. Except I add msg, sesame oil, white pepper and a dash of oyster sauce on top of what u already used. Sesame oil is key
seasoning the onion with salt then adding the rice felt a bit counterintuitive, especially if we are avoiding moisture. is it important to add it first? or we can just add it when we season with pepper later on?
Nah mate. Anytime anyone is pushing Japanese sticky rice as best rice to use for this dish. I'm out. Just use long grain rice for this dish, if possible, Basmati rice. And don't forget to send this chef the memo.

Every time I make fried rice, I always remember what Martin Yan said long time ago: No soy sauce, only salt.
True professional way and I learned so much...Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for this wonderful recipe
Watches video...
Orders takeout fried rice.
IKR. As a level 1/2 cook, some things you just want the experts to cook. ;)
Thanks so much, getting ready to prepare cooking fried rice for the 1st time.
idk i'm no cook but the best fried rice I ever had i'm sure added more than black pepper and soy sauce.
Yup. Garlic and ginger goes in
Awesome rice cooking presentation
For me, adding sesame oil is essential for a good fried rice, but that's just me 😅
its probably bcs it's japanese fried rice, where they tend to use less flavoring to enhanced the taste of the ingredients. opposite of my country's (indonesia) fried rice who used a lot of shallots, garlic, soy sauce, sometimes even fermented shrimp paste and chili paste. the smell guarenteed to choke you up hahhaa
@@RosariaDewi Ah, yes, you're right, that makes sense. Maybe I'm used to another type. In any case, when I cook it at home and I forget the sesame oil, I notice immediately 😂
Fantastic , thank you chef .I am learning Chinese / Asian cooking . Video is very knowledgeable , for learning techniques and understanding concepts . Bon appetite
That fried rice looks very nice, thank you for a magnificent video. And it's a double gift since we know a certain uncle will react to it.
Oh that uncle the most idiot chinese chef I've ever seen. He feels excellent.🤦
Loves me some Unca Roger!
he is right i can really eat fried rice any time of the day
Thanks for sharing❤
Spreading the rice on a pan in the fridge overnight is a game changer
This is the longest fried rice in the world I'll be waiting next year for this to be served
Say whatever you want to say. I got hungry after seeing his finished product. Something tells me it’s delicious.
Well I now know what I’ve been doing wrong. I havent been drying my rice out. Ive just been putting the previously cooked rice in and causing lots of steam which has made my fried rice clump and have a bit of mush.
I make this all the time now. So delicious and easy! I love that wok, too. What kind is it?
"Use Shallot haiyaa... Onion for poor people... " - Uncle Roger
Wait... Uncle Roger doesn't like spring onions?
Fried rice in my childhood was always any kind of leftovers. Mostly delicious things and always a go to for snacks midnight often. My family is Indonesian
If I don't have day old rice I put it in the freezer to get cold then fry it. It works cuz it's never soggy.
Good tip I learned is to (almost) always coat meat in a little cornstarch to reduce temperature drop due to moisture
Ive officially mastered fried rice. Yummy. Love this recipe
Very nice recipe very similar to how I cook mine. Except I add msg, sesame oil, white pepper and a dash of oyster sauce on top of what u already used. Sesame oil is key
allot more ingredients
seasoning the onion with salt then adding the rice felt a bit counterintuitive, especially if we are avoiding moisture. is it important to add it first? or we can just add it when we season with pepper later on?
Looks so yummy! Any chance you can tell me what wok it is that you’re using? Thanks.
Let me guess, a shrimp fried the rice
Hol' up Tone, you are telling me a shrimp fried that rice?
Impossible.
I don’t have a wok or a gas stove. Can you use cast iron and an electric stove?
Definitely making this recipe at home 😁
Im going to try this tomorrow. Thank you! This looks delicious
I love this Chef! 😍
One of my favorite restaurants adds butter to the fried rice and it is so delicious and rich I love it.
This was super useful to me thank you so much!!
Excellent. Would you recommend introducing sesame oil? Bean Sprouts?
It is good for ASMR as me who doing eating show.
Thanks for sharing this recipe
Love to watch it ❤️❤️❤️
Great presentation! I like the idea of cooking each item individually, since I do not have a wok! Enjoyed your presentation
Really excited for Uncle Roger's review of this
you already know what he's going to complain about. No msg and shallots weren't used. No need for his opinion lol
Thanks for wokking us thru that :)
I become expert on fried rice just by watching Uncle Roger review
Nah mate. Anytime anyone is pushing Japanese sticky rice as best rice to use for this dish. I'm out. Just use long grain rice for this dish, if possible, Basmati rice. And don't forget to send this chef the memo.
This fried rice looks delicious!
One word. Incredible. Thank you so much. I will make sure to use this many times
This looks so yummy!!
