$333 vs $20 Fried Rice: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

[@KristaTheHungry]

The production team yelling at joe to stop mixing 🤣🤣

[@user-ox4ii2bw6x]

Joe: *Being funny* Eric: D E H Y D R A T O R

[@MariosTabajen]

Hi yah!

[@bananafranasherbert]

How do you just casually get someone as funny as Joe on this random video? I laughed the whole way through, amazing.

[@mrjoemiles]

Thanks! ❤

[@ashbackwards3]

He’s legit my favorite person in these vids now.

“do you ever look at your hands and think, I’m controlling these with my mind.” 😂😂

[@al-aurum2457]

9:25 "i got ma bones all stoned" soo funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@randomaccountmadeyup]

Missed these. Glad they came back.

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

People are failing to consider that even with 20 dollars, one can make more fried rice than would cost 20 dollars in any establishment. Certain seasoning costs are also included, which don't need to be repeatedly purchased to make more fried rice.

[@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808]

yeah, that's just clickbait. What they should do if they were to be honest is say the cost for a dish serving 4 or cost per serving. Like if you buy a $30 rare spice but only use a pinch and can use it 29 more times, the cost should be $1, not 30 in the tally

[@rommanahmed6315]

@@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808 yeah its a bit annoying. same with the chef's recipe. he's not using the entire bottle of bourbon for one fried rice

[@Brbzh]

@@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808 i think that its supposed to be the ingredients cost, not the value of the dish itself, so if you had nothing on you, you’d have to pay said amount to make said dish as you cant buy a pinch of salt.

[@rickcasedrinksbud]

Joe had no idea he signed up to cook a 15 course, 73 step meal 😂😂😂😢

[@JJJQuan]

yall not talkin enough about how funny joe is

Thanks y’all 🙏🏽

[@sheilamartin1577]

Joe is hilarious! Best episode ever.

[@MrHarjas21]

Loved Chef Eric Huang's energy in this video....seems like a very down to earth guy who shared a lot of great knowledge and was funny throughout...and it was a great ending with both chef's meeting at the end. Looking forward to seeing more of Chef Huang!

[@Rockamock]

I was missing Rose, but I'm sure that was her voice telling him to "STOP!" when he was mixing that batter. :)

[@mike_y1]

The creative techniques and ideas chef Eric Huang used in this video was really cool. How does he think of all that with such simple ingredients!

[@Horltum]

Gotta love Joe reading all the comments. Hi mate.

Hi 👋

[@ArielK1987]

Where's the petition for food scientist Rosemary to cook a dish on the show

[@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808]

there is none b/c she's not a cook. she made I think like a basic grilled cheese during the pandemic...that's not where she shines. she shines in knowledge and making that knowledge accessible and being encouraging.

[@ultraunrealism]

@@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808would make a funny video though see hiw she uses nutrition science to help her in the practical side

JOE DESERVES A COOKING SHOW

[@mrjoemiles]

I accept!!

[@proudrio]

I´m a chef here, I know we tend to make simple things more complex and complicated but this is waaaaaaay over the top!

[@frost94]

I think the entire point of these videos *is* to make them over the top

[@GyroCannon]

I love watching Joe's progression, having watched his first few videos to now!

[@mrjoemiles]

That means a lot to me I’m trying my best 🙏🏽

[@toweezyouttahere]

Not Joe keeping the bourbon for later😂

[@TrentRyanKatzenberger]

Oh, yo, 2 Broke Girls mention. That's my wife's favorite show, rn. Glad to see others are also just getting into it. It has a surprising amount of heart and quirk. Definitely recommend it for anybody looking for a new sitcom to try out.

[@Diastrefo]

The editing is phenomenal as always & absolutely sending me. 8:55 "Squishy..." (rubber duck squeak)

[@DreuScuhDoo]

Joe actually did a solid job we need more of him

[@seiragrayskull]

Both cool and funny with their uncle joking 🙂🫶

[@potatohead9257]

do they have a new editor? this video’s editing is top tier 😂

[@TheNukewarfare2]

7:11 Did my dude just say he watched an episode of 2 Broke Girls? 😂

It’s been such a long time since the last one

Frank and Lorenzo are both awesome but y'all need to stop commenting on every video without them like this lol.

[@sheilamartin1577]

Chef Joe..Let's Go! Needs his own show cooking these ridiculous overly technical recipes. Could be called..Just because you can.." We all know the $20.00 rice tasted better and was certainly more nutritious.

[@jackhanan2872]

I agree!

[@Deletirium]

There comes a time in a man's life where he stops watching pornography, and begins obsessively watching cooking shows instead. I believe I have reached that point.

[@happyinthehouse9899]

Let’s be honest, 18 out of 20 mins of this video has nothing to do with fried rice

[@PassiveAgressive319]

These episodes are always about the journey, not the end result😅

[@gravity00x]

the journey also has nothing to do with fried rice. there are in total 15 seconds tops of anything that could resemble a fried rice in there.

[@Angelicwings1]

It’s about the prep for the fried rice :)

[@nioxic77]

im still annoyed that you dont split the price per portion adding 2 expensive ingredients is just silly when you only eat a tiny bit of it per serving

[@fugeepop]

i would love to see eric on an episode of chopped. very creative!

[@olddeon]

Anything Joe is on is gold lmao

[@pr3d4t0rTanner]

Love seeing Eric cook and also take us around the world.

[@bloodmorel]

I kind of like Joe. He has a great, deadpan delivery

[@veronicaveronica869]

Finally! I missed my series!!!

[@eldoradocanyonro]

The idea of a $300 fried rice is quite interesting, given that fried rice is a dish to use up leftovers and whatever is on hand, very cheaply while providing as much sustenance as possible. It's very similar to the concepts of various types of rice and bean dishes, to cabbage and potato or noodle dishes such as haluski, colcannon or coddle, to stretching meat with bread as in meatloaf, or to goulashes and stews such as mulligan or hoover. I guess it's nice to be able to afford to try to make the cheapest, simplest things with the greatest ingredients--and it's also marvelous to use simple inexpensive ingredients to their maximum potential.

[@oldcowbb]

the blowtorch trick is actually so smart

[@Philosjutsu]

What a crazy creative use of cheap ingredients and what a crazy complicated fried rice. Very interesting!

[@jalapenopapii]

Redemption Arc Joe 🔥🔥

[@BerylMorgan]

*sits down with popcorn to wait for the uncle roger reaction*

[@ConniMiller]

My monthly Epicurious fix. I always look forward to this. I give it a week before Uncle Roger reacts to it. Ha ha!

[@sudipyt2292]

Chef Eric made $20 ingredients into $500 dish. How expert he is!!!

[@JohnJanicki]

Better than Jamie Olive oil

[@MysticScapes]

Uncle Roger, where are you???

[@Greydawg]

1:22 Why did the same amount of garlic cost *five times as much*, though?!* How does Kerrygold butter cost 30% more than the highest price I've ever seen it at, too? I get making an expensive list for the nature of the video, but the jacked-up prices on so many items so often feels disingenuous rather than just misleading. 🤔🤔🤔

[@cyberpunkcentral8500]

The only “pricey garlic” I’ve ever found is either Elephant garlic or pre-peeled organic; is that what they used? Ramps are garlic-adjacent (as are garlic chives) and usually slightly to somewhat more expensive, but they didn’t use those I don’t get it either. Name brand special imported butter? Sure, that’s always more expensive GARLIC in the same amount? Unless it was one of those variations I listed, I don’t see why either. p.s. I always pause on the ingredients lists, too! 💯💰

[@Greydawg]

@@cyberpunkcentral8500 It looked like identical garlic rather than elephant or specialty garlic (albeit I'm also not sure why they needed two bulbs for a few cloves, either).

[@Tykeronia]

They are in NYC, no? But also it doesn't really matter that much lol

[@crochetOD]

you guys care way too much about the actual prices

[@Greydawg]

@@crochetOD probably, yeah, just seems odd they care more & enough to modify the prices sometimes is all.

[@Jonnlemon]

Can we see this in 4k please?

[@nicholascrow8133]

Wow, it seems like they've finally started costing the ingredients equally (I.e per whole unit purchased), they used to do the expensive ingredients per whole unit then do the cheap ones per portion served. Progress!

[@panjimoulana]

First of all, both chef do the rice wrong. Fried rice should be minimum as a day or two days before cooking (overnight rice) instead "fresh" rice

[@Patterner]

if i had asian ancestors they would've cried. also: my first thought too

[@estherheslow4215]

Not really though? The key is the moisture. A variant of fried rice even asks for stock to be streamed in during cooking

[@mellowhirley]

I can go to the rice house and pay $10 for a whole order of fried rice $333 is crazy

[@mrjoemiles]

But will you get my charming personality?
