Lau, love your videos! Always hard. to find GREAT calamari, and loved that video! Always been a fan of egg-fried rice.

Love that you work with an unbiased taste tester! He is really cute! As I try to stay away from additives (allergies) - no MSG for my family. I usually toss in some ginger and garlic to begin with. If there is need for speed powdered version. What we NEVER miss is adding galangal powder!

@ChowWithLau Жыл бұрын

Yes he’s quite useful 😅 I always hold my breath in case he doesn’t like it 😂 Msg isn’t for everyone. I don’t really use it myself - I don’t think it’s necessary if you use good ingredients. I think I would have used garlic and added chopped spring onions right at the end if I wasn’t going for simple speed. Galangal powder is something I need to try 😃

Cheers Lau, excellent video, like yourself I don't have the rocket stoves of the restaurants, and find its really useful to preheat the rice in the microwave prior to cooking, thus ensuring that when it hits the wok it's hot, therefore maintaining the hot wok temperature required during cooking, it's a game changer, please try it. You could hit the minute mark, lol. Me personally I don't get the MSG taste, however I would recommend using chicken stock powder, my preference being granulated chicken bouillon, again please try. Looking forward to the next one

@ChowWithLau Жыл бұрын

Thanks for that, buddy. I've never tried the microwave technique but will give it a go. Like I said in the video, absolute speed isn't my goal - it's just that high heat requires speed to make sure the rice doesn't burn. The stock idea sounds great too - but bear in mind that many stock cubes contain msg. I like adding garlic powder for flavour. All great ideas I think 😊

I make egg fried rice and chicken fried rice I get a better flavour if I add finley chopped ginger and spring onion. I add it just after the egg is done. For years my family refuses to eat takeaway Frid rice, if I don't cook it they refuse to have it from any takeaway .. Good video 👍

@ChowWithLau 8 ай бұрын

Ginger and spring onion are both great in fried rice. I sometimes add garlic too. And I don’t blame your family for preferring yours - sounds very tasty. Thanks for sharing, always much appreciated 😊

@@ChowWithLau ❓ I've heard the best flour for making chicken balls is green dragon flour because other brands hold a lot of oil and can be stodgy. My next task is to make the curry paste, I think I will follow your mom's recipe that you did 😉 Thanks 🙏 for sharing appreciate it.. Do you like long green beans if so try this. Get some frozen Iceland split green beans boil them for 15 minutes drain the water put them back on the hob on low heat add couple knobs of butter salt and white paper that's it 🤤👌 I'd like to see you do it in a YT video see what you think 😉

@ChowWithLau 7 ай бұрын

Personally I haven’t noticed any particular difference. I find that most good quality brands of flour make nice crisp batter as long as you get the proportions right. Don’t just take my word for it though - please do try it for yourself. It’ll definitely not hurt your dish if you use other brands though. Hope that helps 😊

This is great! All vids I've seen say bring to room temperature ASAP.. how do you do this? Especially if doing a large amount?? This is my problem 👍

@ChowWithLau Жыл бұрын

Glad you like it! This time of year you can just leave it near a window and it’ll cool quite quickly. In the summer I’ll put the bowl of rice from the rice cooker into a tub of cold water (ideally with ice too). That usually does the trick 😊

Jasmine rice is a go-to in Chinese cooking, but you can go with any regular long grains, I stood in the supermarket one day and just compared them

@ChowWithLau 5 ай бұрын

@@h8feight Yes, most long grain rice will be fine. Jasmine is my preferred rice because of the flavour and also because it has a firmer texture after steaming/boiling, it tends not to break up or go mushy when you fry it. Hope that helps 😊

Hi. How much white pepper, salt and msg do u use? Many thanks.

@ChowWithLau Жыл бұрын

Hi Brett, seasoning is down to personal taste. For this recipe I would try 1/2tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and if you’re using msg, about 1/2tsp of msg. It’s important to taste as you add to make sure it’s right for you and adjust if necessary. Hope that helps 😊

Now I know where I’ve been going wrong. I’ve been adding the egg to the rice instead of adding the rice to the egg.

It really helps to stop the rice from sticking and burning, plus it makes it taste extra nice 😊

At the risk of askinf a stupid question.... I assume that 500g weight of rice is after its been cooked? I generally only cook for myself you see and Ive never weighed my 75g of dry rice once its cooked. Knowing might also help in figuring out how much egg I'd use for just me (and my daughter when its my weekend with her). Hope Im not being a bit dim, but I guess if I am I might have to live with the fact Im a bit dim.... 🙁

@ChowWithLau Жыл бұрын

Hi William - sorry, I may not have made that clear, yes 500g of cooked rice. When using a rice cooker I always use the cups provided (with the cookers) as it measures out correctly to their quantities. I've never weighed out raw rice grains. And you're most certainly not dim! Dim would be ploughing on without checking. As I sometimes do...😅

It's a old comment Easy way if you get boil in the bag rice cook it then leave it to cool down and drain out then you can leave it in the bag and pop it in the fridge over night. I find this faster and easier 😉
