    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

      Yes. The rice should have been cooked with less water. Or use a drier variety that works marvelous for fried rice.

    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?

  • @xdviper4518
    @xdviper4518 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

    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

    • @jeffbrownme2
      @jeffbrownme2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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. Not a super expensive investment and great results.

    @guillaumesandmayer7053 ปีที่แล้ว

    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
