Lmao he slid that ad In so smoothly I didn't skip it 👏👏👏👏😂

[@へんりけ]

A nice technique I learned from a Japanese chef is to add half of the eggs to the rice and mix them so the grains get separated and coated really well. You would add salt to the rice+eggs and not to the remaining eggs. This works really well even with newly cooked rice!

[@IntheKitchenfromItaly]

Molto interessante la cucina giapponese👍

[@nereidabonilla5329]

I love how easy it is thank you so much you guys are awesome

[@AaronandClaire]

You’re so welcome! Thanks for enjoying our recipes! 🤗

[@littlemom2070]

I’m Japanese American and my mom used to make fried rice with bacon with an over easy or sunny side up fried egg on top, just like Claire said. I’m going to try that soy sauce at the end on the side of the pan technique. I love Claire’s analysis at the end! Another excellent video!

[@CharLiAdventures]

Yes my grandpa used to use bacon and the rendered bacon fat to scramble the egg 🤤 😋. Then my mom told him to stop because I was gaining weight. 😡 so he switched to ham. Then she told him to use less oil. 😡

[@JMiles-kk7kl]

I agree with Clair when she says using more eggs and ham in fried rice, not just all rice

[@Amoure0o7]

Lunch saver! I love how you put zero pressure on us to make it exactly this way or that. Had no green onions but I like the onion situation, so I used a shallot, with cilantro as the green bit. Was a decent hit with all the kids. Thank goodness!

[@patriciavia7491]

Hi, you two! USA here, love your show🙋

[@AaronandClaire]

Thank you for saying that Patricia! 😍

[@krispingkii1348]

I’m Japanese/Chinese born and raised in Hawaii, my dad always made fried rice on Sunday morning using leftovers. Basically same recipe as yours except he usually used char siu or roast pork from dinner earlier that week, otherwise, he diced up some spam which is one of my fav meat for fried rice. I referred my niece to u bc u explain things slowly and simply for a young woman to start learning how to make good food! 👍🏼

[@cyanl.2245]

I was just wondering what to make for dinner❤

[@AaronandClaire]

THIS IS IT! 😎👍

[@pppel7500]

We love to learn your recipes, but we love your sense of humour, deadpan voice saying " Clair" and Clair's enjoyment of food and doing dishes. The whole package😊

[@alyson8990]

Yum! Now I know what's for dinner. Might add some grated carrot and matchstick zucchini for added color and crunch. Love your recipes.👍💚

[@AaronandClaire]

Then don't forget to add some green onions!🤣🤣

[@alyson8990]

Green onions are a given!

[@LoveLjubav]

Lots of love to you both, I love your recipes and videos! 🌸🌸🌸My fav part is always when you say: "Claire" and she comes for the taste test. You guys are the best.😃

[@CharLiAdventures]

Is the difference between Japanese fried rice and Chinese fried rice short versus long grain? This is how my family (Chinese) always made fried rice but with long grain. Oh and we didn’t add soy sauce. Also we added lots of green onions for max flavor just like Aaron. The more the better.

[@AaronandClaire]

Yes! That's right!😍

[@annainspain5176]

Chinese fried rice usually includes oyster sauce in the seasoning. Good ideas here but the final dish looks extremely dry.

[@CharLiAdventures]

@@annainspain5176 my family never use oyster sauce in any of our fried rices (yang chow fried rice and salty fish fried rice for example in order to keep the clean white color). It’s just the Americanized take out Chinese fried rice (brown color) that I’ve seen that has it. Not authentic. No way fried rice is ever dry with all the oil that’s used 😋🤤 and no way Aaron would make dry anything lol. Asians only eat moist, tender, and sometimes crunchy food.

[@annainspain5176]

@@CharLiAdventures I have eyes, and that fried rice looks very dry.

[@telebubba5527]

@@CharLiAdventures I think it depends on where you are from and what you use it for. I've most definately seen 'dark' fried rice made by Chinese in China also.

One egg per portion? Not me! Always 2 minimum (agree with Claire 😂)

[@gaiasgift]

Love this channel! This is a great recipe - I love fried rice and this is super simple and very tasty. Claire's judgement is gold haha!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

I might like the bacon and egg version! This is partly because I usually HAVE bacon... and green onions! Sometimes it's SPAM... But maybe that's getting to be Hawaiian flavor? This serving looks great, and it seems like something everyone can do. I think we all can arrange to always have some cold leftover rice in the refrigerator. Most published recipes use long-grain rice, but I'm with Aaron here. Short-grain rice is a little harder to work with but I think more delicious.

[@ajikpajik9331]

I never really got rice until I tried short grain. Now I eat it most days.

[@jayadama1301]

Looking deliciousness!

[@carolhaggard700]

Hello from USA.......Love your recipes, and Claire you are so pretty

[@djoscartj]

I use SPAM as a cheap substitute for the protein (I fry/sautee it separately and then add it towards the end) and it comes out really nice. I do make the Chinese version of this, with both light and dark/thick soy sauce, a 50-50 mix of long grain and Jasmine rice overnight, but the idea is the same. One "secret" someone told me was to add a few teaspoons of Dashi powder for an even better umami flavor.

[@KM00Youtube]

Nice and easy fried rice! 🥰 Looks really good 😎

Fried rice with char siu, that sounds awesome! 😍👍

[@teaganshines4800]

Sooooo good

[@deborahpasha9727]

I agree with Clair. I like my fried rice with lots of stuff in it. My favorite is Shrimp Fried Rice. I am not happy unless it has lots of shrimp, mung bean sprouts, and green onions. Yum.😁

[@juliephil6404]

You are so funny !!! I just love your videos !! 😀

[@oscarnilsson5779]

A trick I've learned is to break the rice up with a little mayo (in a bag or container big enough to shake/break down) and you also don't have to use as much oil since every grain is individually coated :D

[@Elisha8574loveforever]

After watching your videos, my life quality has improved, eating delicious food every week.😊

[@dougblalock5175]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Highly recommend this guy’s book. However, do not stop watching the videos!

[@theajane6444]

Many years ago my Japanese boss taught me to mix a little Kewpie mayo into the rice before you add it to the pan--not too much!!--but it helps to separate the grains of rice and adds a subtle flavor that most people notice but can't identify.😀 It's gotta be Kewpie, though. None of that American Hallman's or Miracle Whip stuff. 😜

[@alice_agogo]

Kewpie is overrated. Can't stand grocery store Mayo of any kind.

[@karolinagarbat8062]

Can i use 미나리 instead of sake? Or any other korean things? (맛술)

@@AaronandClaire (I threw some sake and sesame oil in, next level! 👌👌)

[@jimbrennan1181]

Aaron, can I use SPAM instead of ham, or will it be too salty?

[@AaronandClaire]

That is a great idea Jim!👍👍👍 Our ham was a bit salty too, so I think it would be alright but if you’re still worried, you can add less or add more rice. Hope you enjoy it! 😁

[@TheEvie202]

You can soak the spam,change the water, and drain spam. This makes it taste less salty. Additionally they sell low sodium Spam.

[@CharLiAdventures]

Spam is sooooo super salty. Also to make spam less salty faster drop it in boiling water for a few minutes. Then pan fry it. I find he texture mushy otherwise.

Hey Aaron, probably a dumb question, but why does Claire always use a long handle spoon. I call them tea spoons, but I'm sure that's not what you call it. I make egg fried rice your way with Jasmine rice all the time now and it's delicious. Mixing the rice in the eggs makes a huge difference.❤

[@donkemp8151]

That’s a Korean Soup spoon. Also, they don’t have the same utensils we use in America. Chop Sticks and a soup spoon are the traditional utensils.

[@kristin7146]

5:32 - I'm curious why you feel that "too dark" is a bad thing? Sure, not darkening the stir fry with soy sauce makes for a 'prettier' presentation, but what about taste-wise? Soy sauce has a much different taste than plain salt.

[@chandlerfrog09173]
