Interesting weejio… uncle Roger have to review this soon

[@handlemissing]

I love the way you spelled it. 😆

[@alanregis6792]

Can't wait to watch that!

[@jondoe9451]

laughs in fuiyooooooh!

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Uncle Roger! You must go and try 3 day friend rice with Uncle Joshua! You are here in the USA now, hop a flight!

[@AubreyChiduku]

Chilli jam? Someone could lose their uncle status

[@nharkes1]

So I worked in a food production plant for a year. The rice is parcooked, packed and gas flushed, then pasteurized in the packaging before being blast chilled. That's why it gets that starch binding on the outside of the grains.

[@dankaczor8965]

I can already hear Uncle Roger talking and reviewing this video. Doesn’t help that I just came off of watching him review Josh and Esther cooking spicy ramen and seeing him get flustered by them cooking together. 😂😂😂

[@somethingawesome1462]

Joshua is going to get his uncle title revoked

[@skynes]

Same for me XD literally came here from the spicy ramen video.

[@davidz2690]

he commented that he is gonna lol

[@keegs5632]

Right? Threw a bunch of japanese sauces in with pork belly and called it Char Siu.

[@s2meister]

Yep, its not fried rice until Uncle Roger says so.... but that does look good.

[@AKKK1182]

I feel like this is missing a "30 minute" step. Like I'm not going to spend 3 hours every time to get a banging fried rice, but maybe want a bit more than the 2,5 minute one.

[@Cringemoment4045]

The jump is a bit too far tbh.

[@martzthomas]

Isn't the point of fried rice to get rid of the day old rice?

[@WillCooks]

For the three minute, you could add some precooked chicken or something, its not great but it is protein, and it is filling.

[@toolbaggers]

Or add more eggs.

[@xiaoyaoxu134]

If you got rice (or knock at your closest Asian neighbor) go for the 3 hr - with easy meat you suggested instead of fancy meat like Josh did, you can easily cut time to below an hour. See Josh also needed only a few minutes for the frying I cook at home, with rice ready I can do it under half an hour.

[@colleenmahony8803]

Leftover anything -- pulled pork, chicken, roast beef even. Also, what if you had time to open and chill the pre cooked rice? Better texture right there. I learned a lot about using what you have and have time for in this brief video. Nice job, Josh and Co.

[@beckobert]

There were eggs and peas, no idea why he would think that there is protein missing. Especially considering that the second one that had only eggs but no complaints.

[@Pingwinho]

Let's see you precook chicken in 3 minutes.

[@Aeder42]

Hey Josh, one trick I learned from Kenji while using a wok on a stove is to remove the diffuser plate so that you can a more central flame, closer to more traditional wok burners.

[@toolbaggers]

This is a game changer!! My largest burner is just a larger ring of fire so the center was actually cooler than using a smaller burner. Now I will try this to get that wok hei.

[@shepherd0194]

I have tried this. Unfortunately it seems my stove has a built in safety mechanism to prevent you doing this 😢

[@Aeder42]

I say this as someone who has an electric stove lol. I'm keeping this knowledge for future reference.@@shepherd0194

[@generationgeek]

Fried rice is my #1 comfort food; if I’m having a bad day I want it the way I had it as a kid (char siu cubes of pork, egg, onion, peas and carrots). But I love the idea of having elevated versions for more of a ‘dining’ experience

[@geoffmoody7809]

I love that we all know that as soon as you said fried rice and chili jam in the same sentence, Uncle Roger woke up or stopped what he was doing wherever he was because he felt-forgive me but I can’t think of a better term-a disturbance in the force. Well played sir, well played

Finally. After 4+ months of the new kitchen, a video where we get to see Josh cooking and teaching stuff again

[@natinatyoutube]

The raw content is already top notch but shoutout to whoever edits it (is it you Josh ?). This editing style really enhances Joshe's many talents (chef, show host, etc.), like the perfect frame that makes a piece of art pop

[@yeetboiwhatyesplease2095]

2:05 doesn’t eggs have protein?

[@Salmomlox]

Josh, this was shocking and amazing. The 3-minute fried rice would be a break the glass emergency method. The 3 - hour one ah okay. But the 3-day one would be for holidays! Like Valentine's Day ❣❣🥰🥰 This will be my new holiday method. Thank you for testing and sharing. Have an awesome day.

[@romxxii]

if you're Asian you should never do the 3 minute version. The "break the glass emergency" method should be "I already have day-old rice in the fridge, lemme beat some eggs and toss that in with the rice in a wok."

[@tinntinnamp]

I make fried rice all the time and it never comes out starchy and stuck together, or overly saucy (I never add much that will make it that way, salt, pepper, garlic (adobo -spanish version seasoning- works, or just salt an pepper, soy sauce, maybe a bit of fish sauce, cayenne if want it spicy, sesame oil and grapeseed oil). I will make rice in a rice cooker, use a BIT less water than normal (as in I look at the fill lines and put the a small amount less), then open the rice cooker and let is air out a bit when cooked (but have used straight from there with similar experiences). I have used it all the time while still hot. It comes out perfect. You do NOT have to use day old rice, or spread your rice out after cooking it, you just need to make sure your rice is not OVERCOOKED (even regular cook it still comes out good when I make it). Use a bit less water and just let it cool a bit. ALSO using basmati rice is also the best (not normal fried rice type, it's more an indian rice I believe) it is WAY les starchy and you can boil it like noodles and drain it (but I just cook it like all other rice and use a bit less water). You can instantly put it in your pan and make fried rice. Just pointing this out because it's not as complicated as people make it, included "uncle ben". It's really not complicated and most others will explain it doesn't have to be perfect (it's meant to be a mix of leftovers for a lot of countries). Basically a long grain rice is probably best, put a SLIGHTLY less amount of water, have your veggies prepped (I love using corn, carrots , bell peppers, onions, green onions and bean sprouts on top, bok choy chopped real small) and your egg ready. Get the pan hot with a high heat oil like grapeseed (like josh said, doesn't have to be a wok, although he used to say to invest haha), I used to use a large flat pan until I was gifted a wok, it's still the same. Heat up a small amount of sesame oil mixed with whatever other oil you are using, let it coat the pan and get hot, add the veggies and eggs, stir fry a bit, add a few cups of the cooked rice. Stir together and add soy sauce, keep cooking a bit until uniform, then add the extra green onions and bean sprouts if wanted.

[@tinntinnamp]

@@romxxiiWell of course, most people/places/countries that eat a lot of rice already have it at hand. That's where it originated from. Assuming the way they reacted, they weren't in Asia making fried rice on a norm.

[@Salmomlox]

@@tinntinnamp Thank You 🥰😋

[@BoHorn]

If youre spending 3days on a fried rice… youre a moron. This isnt spending 3 days on a fired rice anyway this is spending 3days on secondary ingredients that could be used in better ways. This is like saying a whiskey marinated brisket took 12 years bc the bottle of alcohol aged.

[@Yaboymtg]

The 3 minute one is solid because it’s a quick and easy meal that gets the job done. You can extend the time if you want a protein

[@beckobert]

There are eggs and peas in it, both contain plenty of protein.

[@sirushimself7041]

Joshua, you are my hero man. I love all your stuff. Thank you for teaching me all these amazing recipes!!!

[@sirushimself7041]

@Official_JoshuaWeissman1585 sure thing bro, do you need me to loan you some money or would you rather have me transfer some bitcoin for you?

[@KyleDennis-z1t]

With the soy sauce, pull the rice back in the wok so you have a clear bottom corner of the wok. Tilt the wok so just that corner is on the heat, pour the soy in there and wait until it boils and slightly burns. Then mix it through the rice. It makes a huge difference :)

[@violent_fantasies]

Can confirm I do that all the time when making nasi goereng. My sauce is usually dark mushroom soy, brown sugar, sambal oelek and shrimp paste. When I add it to the rice I always push everything to one side of the wok and pour it into the empty space, letting it bubble for 10-15 seconds before mixing. The sweet soy thinkens and becomes more like kecap manis, the shrimp paste is getting cooked off, and sometimes I add my garlic to my sauce instead of frying it in the beginning so that it retains some of it's freshness. Yummy

[@billttruong]

Uncle Roger approved. Uncle Roger is so jealous of Uncle Joshua for being with Auntie Esther in the kitchen on Spice Eaters. I love both Uncle Joshua and Uncle Roger.

[@RealEllenDeGeneres]

You're out of your mind if uncle Roger would approve of this.

[@Sseltraeh89]

@@RealEllenDeGeneres Jelly as he is now, Uncle Roger wouldn't approve of anything Joshua even if Joshua turned into chef Wang Gang

[@Sacto1654]

All three would drive "Uncle Roger" crazy because it's completely not the style of cooking fried he's used to. G*d help us all for reaction from Uncle Roger if Weissman tries to make egg fried rice in the Japanese _cha-han_ style on a teppan cooking surface (a fairly common practice in Japan).

[@joshuaseti5057]

Something's telling me Uncle Roger will actually go crazy if he sees this (not in a good way)

[@queenfrostine97]

Most useful piece of this entire video is adding the garlic at the end - gonna start doing that every time I make fried rice now

[@BoHorn]

U dont wanna do this rlly, u need to do aromatics to infuse the oil you cook the rice with. Adding garlic at the end makes very little sense as a precaution to not “burn it”. Well yeah ur not supposed to burn it but aromatics like garlic, onion, ginger and peppers are almost always first so the oil you are cooking with has that flavor and aroma. I love josh but this is really a poor idea of cooking fried rice.

[@violent_fantasies]

​@@BoHornCan't you add some garlic both in the beginning and at the end? Because honestly I tried Josh's recipes and I'm with him honestly, I like his extra raw garlic technique.

[@Jia1337]

3 days probably the best but aint nobody got time fo that. Leftover rice + eggs + veggies + some protein. Done.

I got my book this week from my mom as a lat christmas present! Although amazon screwed up somehow and i got a book that looked used, there were dirt marks all inside it and it seemed like someone already tried cooking with it and splashed some stuff on it. Otherwise im excited to use it and start making some of these recipes, especially the fries!

I loved the comparisons of the ways of making rice, I like rice in all its forms!

[@DanielleMisc96]

How long until Josh’s cookbook isn’t considered new anymore?

[@danielbuettner5661]

I made the 3-day version this week. First off, the beef short rib was phenomenal -- will definitely do that again! The rice texture was perfect. The flavor of the final dish was fairly salty and fishy -- I won't do the rice again with this recipe. With that said, the shrimp paste I used (from Amazon) was more brown and pasty than Josh's, which was red and less viscous, and my final coloring was nowhere near as rich and bronzy as Josh's. Mine was more brown/tan. Thanks Josh for putting this video out there, looking forward to the next challenge! Cheers!

[@fanofpink]

[@pianistafj]

The 3-day rice was life changing. Made it for family when we found out we were expecting, and it did not disappoint. I think the fermented chili sauce made this just incredible. Thanks for the recipe!

[@mamtom6360]

I have a tip when frying dried onions, which is to add a little salt to the onions before frying, which will make the onions crispy and last longer. Another tip when frying to prevent them from burning is to turn off the stove when you see the color is almost done and add more oil to reduce the oil temperature to prevent overheating and burning the onions.

[@dscrive]

I was actually looking for short rib just a couple of days ago because I wanted to try a recipe, no luck with beef. I got pork spare and baby back ribs, and I made a 30ish hour fried rice with the baby back; golly did it slap! so I'll totally be trying this recipe eventually

[@darientyne826]

Please let this turn into series, please let this turn into a series.

[@mintycups]

i personally make something halfway between 3 hours and 3 min where it takes me like. 30 min/an hour depending if you count the rice cooking or not (i dont, im not doing anything for it beyond rice cooker) essentially after i lay out rice on a baking sheet i just start steaming vegetables on the side and let that go til the rice is cooled then i just cut an onion into long strips, toss into my oiled (vegetable oil) pan after that i chop up some garlic and once the onion has got some color i toss in the garlic wait like. a min or two and toss dump steamed vegetables in toss dump protein of some kind (i usually have leftover rotisserie chicken) dump rice in, toss dump hoisin sauce (my favorite) toss then i just give it a little swirl of sesame oil for taste toss one last time and serve

[@suzibikerbabe8073]

For my 3 minute rice I use the rice that comes with my Thai takeout. It's too much food so I put rice in the fridge for another meal the next day.

[@NickyHendriks]

I'll do this with my Chinese order! Sometimes even use the bland nasi they provide which is just dull but works fine as a base

[@dianacfleming]

Student cooking tips: You can use those little cubes of pancetta that they sell in the supermarket or chop up a strip of bacon (rasher) with a scissors to get some 'meatiness' into the 3 minute rice. It will cook faster than the frozen veg even.

[@smiffyOG]

Ill be making this. Ive done 3 day short ribs several times and never thought of making a fly lice with it. Thanks for the weejio Josh.

[@patrickweckermann9121]

Just goes to show you how much some basic meal planning can make a difference. The 3 day recipe has some flexibility when it comes to when you do the actual meal. The rice and short rib will be just fine for a few days in the fridge while the fermented hot sauce will store just fine for months in the fridge.

[@tmmle7]

For the 3 day fried rice. You can add stock or bone broth to the rice, as it cooks in the rice cooker. This will add a subtle savoriness to the dish, while reducing need for msg. The rib bones could be used in stock too.

[@paigelauryn4328]

Hey josh can you please do regional specific videos ?:) I work in a French bakery & just started an apprenticeship in patisserie! I’d love your knowledge and inspiration:3

There's me thinking that the three day rice was going to be Persian! Cooked slowly over three days in a big pot. It's crunchier than those shallot rings. Have you heard of it before? I've definitely learnt something from this video. Many thanks.

[@khanhnam5271]

4:27 note for those want to make these shallots by yourself, as an Asian who used to fry rice on a family restaurant, do as Joshua said but when the shallot are GBD you have to quickly take all the shallot out or else the shallot will burn very soon, it only takes second for it to burn. You can put in a sheet stray after but do remember to take it out of the oil fast

[@munarkiiv9999]

For the pepper sauce i usually preferred it not fermented, dry, and mixed with pestle and mortar, the result will be more like a paste than sauce, then for the ingredients will be like 1-2 tablespoon of coconut oil no matter how much you want to make Garlic Shallots (1/5 amounts from the garlic) Milder pepper(i think Jalapeno is too mild, i would prefer Capsicum Annuum, Cabai keriting, or Tobasco) spicier pepper (preferably bird's eye chilli) And Salt (doesn't matter is it table salt or the kosher, they still gonna mixed together pretty well) And then mix them together with pestle and mortar and there you have it, you still able to preserve it in your fridge for a week without any fermentation

[@Leon-qc1np]

A 30 min Version would be great too I think it comes closer to an average time for Fried Rice

[@Healthdiet-371]

[@gluyspt9299]

Put garlic in first after heat the oil can make the oil smell so good. When it’s just yellow-brown and it gives a good smell, remove it and let it rest outside. Start cooking your fried rice and add that garlic at the end.
