How Chinese chefs cook Egg Fried Rice (Video 2.0) 🍚🍳 Mum and Son professional chefs cook!

We have made an egg fried rice recipe video before, in fact I think it was the 2nd video we ever made, over 6 years ago (2018), but since making it, we’ve had loads of questions that we failed to address in the first video, so this is far more in depth than our original egg fried rice recipe recipe, if you’ve seen the first video, you might still learn something new from this. I would also like to point out that this is just one way of doing it, doesn’t mean this is how every Chinese takeaway or takeout will be cooking their fried rice, this is just the most common method I’ve seen after working in over 15 takeaways (not ours) and form owning them. If there is one thing we teach you, we hope that is cooking isn’t right or wrong, if you like it then that’s all that matters. On a side note Chinese takeaways and takeout's are not using basmati rice! if you want to recreate it exactly at home use the rice we suggested, how ever basmati is a very good rice and makes nice fried rice.

Thanks to you guys, my wife wont order take-away anymore. She asks me to cook all her fave take-away meals. What she doesnt know is that all the recipes are from your channel. Keep up the good work. Im hungry now!

Fried rice and curry sauce? Bring it on.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

haha its so good

[@scottwestern]

In Japan when making basic egg fried rice, we often use chicken oil instead of vegetable oil. We also add a few shakes of white pepper right at the end just before serving 🥢🍚 Love all your videos. You and your mum are a great team 👍

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yeah this is uk takeaway so nothing like a traditional fried rice, we’d normally cook with lard :)

[@pudney011]

Yea I would like to see curry and chips with egg fried rice

[@garyfearon5637]

Half chips, half fried rice and curry sauce 💯❤️. Cheap and filling . Ever since I was a kid I love it 💯👊

Nothing to do with egg fried rice but Congratulations on being a finalist on this years Golden Chop Stick awards. Much deserved. Let’s hope you win 🤞

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thanks so much! but we're up against the winners from last year and not many people for YT and socials voted for us so I think they've won

[@CreateVision]

Well if you get Ken Hom to sign his book you got gifted during lockdown he may decide to make you winners 😂🤣😂

[@macdaddybender]

Yum. I think people tend to forget just how amazing egg fried rice is on its own. Delicious

[@sheseclectic3858]

I still remember watching your first egg fried rice video and your mum said to listen for when the rice "sizzles like a snake". Still makes me chuckle.😊
