[@andrewfontana3136]

Uncle Roger is just having fun with a stereotype, but he is capturing that cultural love of rice that is spread all throughout the Asian countries. It's amazing how many different country reactions are in sync with what Uncle Roger is outraged by. There might be a few variations in what outrages people from Malaysia/Singapore/India/Indonesia/China/Japan etc. but the similarities are so powerful. From what I've seen of your history as well rice has played such a huge part in it and many Asian countries definitely wouldn't be the same today without it. Given how important it's been in your history and still in your lives today I think your reaction is more than fair. And given your experience with rice I also think it's fair to say that we westerners (I'm Australian) should definitely respect how you cook it. I personally was brought up with the boiled and strained rice method but was lucky when I moved out of home to learn how to cook it without straining it when I learned some Indian recipes and I have never needed or wanted to strain it since. I'm definitely not a fan of gloopy rice. lol

[@Manifestopheles386]

Being part Dutch of Indonesian descent, I can tell you that the way these recipes are done by these chefs is not just disrespectful, but simply wrong. Even if you were to westernize certain recipes (my mother does that often enough with certain Indonesian dishes, when some ingredients are not available here in the West), you still have to stick to the principles to give them the correct flavour.

I know some of Southeast Asia's Western Food Stalls does have fried rice as a "Side dish" Maybe? Customers can choose to go with steaks, chicken/ pork chops, etc, to replace french fries, Maybe it can consider a fusion dish between east and west... 2 main dishes in 1? 😁 Also the so-called "Chili jam" is usually just sweetened chili sauce with a texture like jam. and it is mostly served on the side of a dish, in bottle or pack form... commonly in western food and fast-food restaurants. Most Asians do not fried rice along with "Chili Jam".

[@kingchakazulu7762]

Jamie Oliver did not make egg fried rice.. he made Wet rice with egg and jam

[@maccaebus]

Part of why a lot of Western restaurants (especially American) are named things like "PJ's" or whatnot is because it's very common for a place to be named after the person who started it or runs it, like "Jeff's Pizzeria," and people named after a parent usually have "Junior" after their name to differentiate them from their parent, and so you see a lot of people with names like "Brian Juinior" get shortened to "BJ." No idea if you already knew this because I'm commenting on a video two years late, but I figured I'd answer since I didn't see anyone else say anything about it.

[@massvt3821]

"the tears of his ancesters"..lol. I'm guessing that he really doesn't hate Jamie Oliver's cooking--he just wants to have some fun with it. Also, I wasn't sure if a wok was common in Japan, like it is in China. I'm also wondering about the differences in rice when comparing China, Japan and Korea..

[@MrsEats]

Hi! I'm Mrs Eats from Japan! As a Japanese, I have a wok in my kitchen because my husband uses it a lot! But I'm pretty sure wok is not very common kitchen tools in Japanese household. Instead of wok, we use a regular frying pan, I think!

[@makreacts8045]

a wok isn't as common in Japan for the common household, but you'll still find it often enough. Definitely a lot of woks in restaurants though.

[@zackc5973]

A lot of restuarants have names like "BJ's" or "PJ's" because first names like that are common AJ, CJ, DJ, RJ etc... it's usually shortened from: first name junior. So, CJ for example could be a shortened version of Charles junior. Also, it can be a nickname people give themselves.

[@richarddewitt2072]

If you don't have a rice cooker you can use Minute Rice (or Rice a Roni), a substitute for oil is butter, frozen veggies are more convenient, hot dogs (sliced) have a combination of beef, pork and chicken. Finally sprinkle fried rice powder mix to get that egg fried rice taste.

All chilli jam is, is like a thick sweet chilli sauce made into something with the consistency of a solid, but it melts when you heat hit it up. I dunno what Chilli Jam Jamie Oliver uses or how he makes it... But the basic ingredients usually are chilli, (maybe some capsicum), optional spices and sugar... That is it... So him adding chilli jam to that its just like adding sweet chilli sauce, definitely not the worst thing in his fried rice. But the way Roger loses his mind is pretty funny...

[@NessTho]

That's a "chili jam olive oil tofu egg fried rice with water " Available at every location of his restaurants. Go check it out!!

[@zhongguojiayou2675]

For people who don't know what "Wok Hay" means, it basically means, Wok Heat 🔥. Wok usually has a higher temperature than a frying pan which is what Jamie is using here, hence the reason why Asians don't use Olive Oil especially for cooking Fried rice, not everyone uses a Wok for frying rice, or for cooking in general. But when cooking Egg Fried rice, it is essential to use a oil that has a high smoking point, especially If you use a Wok. Woks tend to maintain a high temperature when cooking, which means you spend less time cooking & more time with your family. Cooking with Woks, it takes less time to do fry ups, than it would with a frying pan or sauce pan, who would do a fry up in a sauce pan, or a frying pan? Doesn't make sense. In Asia, especially South East Asia, we use Woks because the wok transfers heat better than a frying pan, simple as that. The food cooks much faster because of the increased heat of the Wok. So what Uncle Roger says about Wok Hay is just simple fact. Almost everyone in Asia already knows this, but Jamie here is supposed to be a professional Chef, so he should know better than most ordinary people. Nobody in Asia uses Olive oil for cooking. So where did Jamie get this idea of using Olive Oil to cook egg fried rice, a staple dish, which isn't even considered as a side dish? I think Jamie, just grab all ingredients he knows, & just put them all in this dish, but putting in Tofu, silken Tofu doesn't make this Dish any more Asian, just like how Jamie put Inoki mushrooms in his Green Thai Curry dish, & we all know how that dish turned out. Jamie didn't put enough Green chilli's in his green Thai curry, he put more mushrooms into his green Thai curry, then chilli's, he only put in 4 chilli's, in Jamie's red Thai Chilli, Jamie only used 1, I repeat 1 red chilli, vs 200gms of green mungetou vegetables. Jamie has to be one of the worst western professional celebrity chefs in the UK, he is that bad at cooking, that Jamie should just quit youtube, & stop butchering national dishes of other countries. Just stop insulting other countries with his pathetic attempts at re creating his own pathetic versions of national dishes of other countries, just go back to cooking basics, because Jamie has no concept of other cultures outside the western cuisine.

[@Brainreaver79]

one cook who reacted to this video, guessed, he had to add the water because by adding the jam and thus sugar, it started caramelizing and he had to stop that FAST and that was his only option...

[@Necrobadger]

All I know is from dating a Japanese girl and having a Japanese friend growing up, but from what I understand, you don't cook green onions at the beginning because it takes away too much of the flavor and crunch, and you don't break apart tofu because smaller pieces of tofu have almost no taste, because they can't absorb the flavor of the food, and they have almost no texture when that small.

[@TehMagilla]

People asking about why Jamie is adding water, I believe I have the answer. You can see in the pan JUST before he adds the water that the jam is clumped together. A couple of seconds before this, he says he wants the jam to coat each grain evenly. I *think* he's trying to thin the jam out so it stops clumping and mixes in properly.

[@donb7519]

i've also heard a few people speculate his pan is getting dry since olive oil fries out quickly so he needs to stop his rice from burning

100% agree with you, even though "Uncle Roger" is a comedian putting on a fake accent and entertaining, he has a lot of valid points. and your point about lack of respect for the origin and culture behind the dish is 100% spot on as well. Just from having a Japanese girlfriend and a Chinese / Taiwanese girlfriend over the past 4 years, I have learned a lot that I did not know about rice, Asian cooking, Asian spices, etc. and still have lots more to learn, but I now use a rice cooker to make my rice, not boil it in a pot, and I now prefer the food I cook at home vs most local Chinese places. Nice catch on the wooden cooking utensil, vs metal. That's been something I was taught from my mom and Grandmother, you can use metal on outside BBQ Grill, but I have many wooden cooking tools.

pretty sure if tofu maker see this, they gonna get mad tho. i mean there is a reason why it was shaped in square. that's the reason why you shouldn't break it, even if its for cooking... if you make tofu and it's breaking, it means it is a bad tofu, it might already expired, it gonna smell bad pretty quick and all. usually the cause of it because the ratio of water you use is too much and you didn't dry it right. go ask japanese tofu maker, they know their stuff.

[@herusumarli5297]

Back in the old days, I sometimes saw my mom put a little water when she cooked a fried rice, but that happened when she cooked a very large portions of them (like for 5 to 7 portions) and she did that not by lifting the wok and bring it under the sink, she did t another way around, by pouring like a very little amount of cold water in a mug (maybe 3 to 5 tea spoons of it) and pour it circling the edge of smoking hot wok on the stove/fire.Probably to avoid too much burn or to tone down the taste a little bit.But yeah , I agree that what Jamie did in the video is too weird.

[@dutArkham]

The difference between a professional and an amateur is a professional gets paid.

[@joshuaseagondollar2495]

One possible explanation as to why he added water is that he noticed the chili jam starting to caramelize or burn in the pan, so he added the water to try and avoid that. The recipe is still terrible though, and that wasn't going to save it.

[@Ms_HyeSeungyeon]

He put water in the rice due to the chili Jam having Sugar and it probably started burning the pan so he had to put water from burning the pan
