I think you're missing the point on this a little. You can do what you want. The point of some of Uncle Roger's videos was celebrity chefs telling their audience that this was the way things are done and having no clue about the dish. If the chefs had said that it was their take on a dish rather than telling their audience that this was the way to make it, there might not have been an Uncle Roger video. Celebrity chefs feel that they are elevating dishes inferior dishes. Years ago, there was an episode of a British cooking contest show. The judge in the show attacked one of the contestant's dishes because it was done as a Chinese dish, which the judge felt was an inferior style...compared to the classically taught French-style dishes the other contestants made.

The thing is though, you can use a saute pan, and you can use a camp stove, and you can use fresh rice - as long as you understand why people tell you why you shouldn't use those things. The key to fried rice is a ripping hot cooking surface. That's why recipes say use a wok, with a jet engine for a burner, and to do longyau (dumping cooking oil). It creates an evenly heated surface for your rice. You can achieve the same things with what Western home cooks might commonly have, but you'll have to get there differently. So obviously doing the same techniques with different equipment won't work. You can use fresh rice: so long as you steam it and not par boil it. The point is to get rid of the moisture. Restaurants do this techique so they can serve large amounts of fried rice on demand. Fried rice is as much a theory and technique thing as it is following a set recipe. Of course, over the years and centuries best practices have been developed. But you can always break dogma, so long as you understand why.

As someone with a peanut allergy, I too hate having a peanut allergy Good thing most commercially processed peanut oils are so refined they’re actually safe to consume because they don’t contain the allergen! Only have to be careful with homemade peanut oil and I think certain less processed varieties available are but for frying those are often super safe. Always ask when unsure though!

What I learned about dumping oil was that with the pan heated, the nooks and crannies release any leftover bits of food / aromas from previous cooking into the hot oil. So essentially, you're using the oil to wash the wok and transport those previous flavors out.

Fried rice is one of the few foods I've cooked many times in my life. I started from just randomly frying rice with vegetables and oil and eventually learned important lessons. It's funny that I independently learned that the wok and day old rice makes better fried rice than another pan and/or fresh rice. I'm absolutely positive my various recipes would have been mocked wholeheartedly by Uncle Roger though!

I also like how they approached this objectively. That makes this video incredibly useful beyond entertainment value. And i like the "myth munched" and "myth munched us" bits also.

There are a lot of problems with this “myth-busting”. 1) I mostly agree, that a wok is quite beneficial - however this is still not confirmed. Josh did a major mistake (based on a lot of Asian cooks - inclusive Uncle Roger) he dumped the soya sauce on top of the rice, instead of let it caramelize on the rim (or non-riced area) first. Hence the test is kinda invalid. 2) This has been pretty obvious - however it was a lazy test. They should have also made a “fresh (but chilled down) steamed” rice - which is made by a lot of restaurants for fried rice (check out AlexFrenchGuyCooking). 3) Problem: a) there are olives at least in China! And while olive oil are not used in classic Chinese recipes - a lot of great Asian cooks have used olive oil in their recipes (hence makes Josh insistence on “never olive oil” a bit awkward). And I have to criticize Uncle Roger - I think he trivializes severe allergies. I think one time of this type of joke is ok. But it is just not right. And actually - I have seen a lot of cooking of Asian dishes with just (cheap) vegetable oil - and at least in China, authentic Rapeseed oil is used traditionally (not one of these options have been used in the test). Oh and there would be also the option of *refined* sesame oil - and also refined olive oil (which has a much higher smoking point). I think about the dumping method - _we (Westerners)_ get it wrong””: if you have got a big wok, a Chinese (...) chef is using a lot of oil just to cover quickly the hot metal and then dump it out and add then far less oil for cooking. I do think, this is the whole “idea” behind the “dump”. I don’t even understand, where a big difference can come from (especially more charred flavors should rather come from the non-dumped oil wok). Also: we have to understand, that there is for example teppanyaki fried rice which obviously not dumps the oil.

So if I understand correctly you want a vessel capable of reaching a high heat and something that can create movement in or on it. A neutral oil day old or dryer rice. I'd suggest a follow up to this video. How to make the best fried rice with what you got. The vessel - Stainless steel pan, cast iron pan or flat top that is either cast iron or steel griddle. fats- extra lite olive oil, crisco shortening and clarified butter rice- day old 1 rice to 2 parts cooked as standard as the control, fresh rice 1 to 1.5, and then fresh rice 1 to 2 but spread thing on a sheet pan to steam off then put into the fridge uncovered for 1 hour. The only purpose in dumping the oil is to create a non stick surface without burning the oil.

My ex wife made the very best fried rice called “Chahan”. I’ve tried to replicate it. Couple things you guys are missing is La-Yu chili oil and Chinese ham. I’ve also sat at street vendors in Indonesia for Mi Goreng and Thailand. Mi Goreng is definitely up there with a bit of sambal. Edit: cant forget white pepper as well. Yes, it tastes different.

@@niki420yuh yeah I know. Just explaining that not all fried rice is equal. I did enjoy the show/test instructing people how to make a good fried rice. Throwing a over easy egg on top is pretty awesome too. Hmmm. Did they have any Thai chili peppers? Wish American restaurants could make a good fried rice. I’ve yet to have one like any SE Asian country. Chicken, pork, shrimp, or other.

My theory for why the "Dumped oil had more charred flavor" is that you aren't actually dumping all the oil out. The leftover oil has less surface area and burns off while waiting for the new oil which gives that charred flavor.
