For anyone who feels like they don't actually understand why the heat and temperature is important in order to avoid the fried rice sticking onto the wok, here is a (kind of) scientific explanation that I learned from others. Try to recall your memory, when you are studying high school physics. There is a concept called specific heat capacity. Specific heat capacity basically means that, the amount of energy needed to be absorbed or released, per unit weight, in order to increase or lower per unit temperature. Water for example, have a very high specific heat capacity, which mean with the same mass of substance, water can absorb way more energy than most of the other substances. When we cook, the water content absorb energy from a hotter object, in our cases, the cookware or specifically, from the wok. In order to rise the water temperature, the water absorb energy from the cookware, lowering the temperature of the cookware. As the heat transfer process depends on the temperature of two different objects, eventually the water and the cookware would approach the same or at least similar temperature. We turn on the gas stove, heating up the cookware, in order to constantly providing energy, keeping the cookware hot enough to heat the water. You may wonder, now noodles and rice have a very high water content, they kind of absorb water into their structure. How come we can stir fry the rice/noodles, giving them a nice brown tasting surface? It is because water is a very bad heat conductor, especially when they are locked in places such that no convention occurs. While stir frying, the surface of the rice or noodles go up to a relatively high temperature, higher than the boiling point of water. As water is such a poor heats conductor, the water inside the rice or noodle, does not go as high as the surface, therefore they are easy behind from the boiling point, they are not boiling inside. The rice and noodles can still keep the water content inside them without having them evaporating. Also water have another very special capability, a very high latent heat - the amount of energy needed to evaporate per unit mass of water. When we are boiling water, the water reaches its boiling point, the amount of energy it absorb no longer being used to rise its temperature. The energy absorbed, which is now becoming the latent heat, is being used to excites water molecules and turn them into gas form. This is why you can never achieve Browning effects while boiling your ingredients in large amount of water. The water keeps the cooking temperature at around 100°C, in order to achieve Browning effects, also known as Millard reaction, temperature need to rise to about 140-170°C. Given the fact that most of the household gas stove can generate limited amount of heat per unit time, the water content in your ingredients basically limits the temperature of the cooking environment. This is why you don't want your food to be too wet or soak in water, when you want them to have wok hei - the mixture of lovely aromatic compounds created in Millard reaction. If your food is too wet, you need to evaporate all the excess water content, in order to bring up the temperature, so that the Browning effects can happen. By doing so, especially when you are stir frying noodles or rice, you'll risk over cooking your carbs; or you will need a very long time in order to do so; or you risk bringing the temperature of your cookware down too low, such that the food starts sticking onto the cookware. Now you have a basic idea, how the water content can lower the temperature of the cookware, and preventing the Browning effect (Millard reaction). Let's start talking why the temperature of the cookware is so important, in order to prevent sticking. Have you ever heard of Leidenfrost effect? You might want to Google it. It happens when a water droplets, or some other liquid, dripped onto a surface which its temperature is significantly higher than the boiling points of the liquid, for example, water droplets on a wok at above 200°C (~390°F). Instead of instantly evaporating, it became a sphere, rolling on the cookware, almost as if there is no resistance or friction. The water technically is floating above the hot surface, between them is a thin layer of water vapor constantly forming, and almost act like an insulator, so that the water does not contact with the hot surface and evaporate instantly. According to what I learned, this is part of the little secrets behind the non-stick effect you can see on a very, very hot wok. This effect is an indicator, showing your wok is hot enough for cooking. And potentially, contribute to the non-stick effects. Now why do the food stick to the cookware? Unless you are using a cookware with a non-stick coating, the microscopic surface of most cookwares are not smooth. The surface is slightly porous. When the surface is not hot enough, and there is no oil as a heat conductor, and also physically separating the food and the surface, the food can contact with the porous surface, and once the temperature is high enough to cook the surface of the food, the food is then stick to the surface of the cookware. A hot enough cookware, plus the oil as a heat conductor, the surface of the food is cooked - chemically changed into something else, forming a hardened layer different from the rest of the food. The surface of the food will then no longer attached to the porous surface of the cookware. You basically want the surface of the food cooked before it actually contact with the cookware. Remember temperature of the cookware is the key, it decide what kind of reaction occurs, and if the food sticks to the cookware or not. That's why you want to control the water content of what you want to stir fried, so that with the less powerful household gas stove providing limited amount of heat, you can still achieve the non-stick effects you wanted. Oh another thing, the reason why we want to move some of the food around while we are stir frying, is that the surface of the cookware is way hotter than 140-170°C. We move the food around to keep the temperature of the surface of the food around the temperature which the Browning effects occur; also avoid the temperature of the surface of the food be coming too high, such that the unwanted chemical reaction take place in very high temperature won't occur, aka burning the food.

Thank god someone finally gets it right. A lot of people mistakenly think that you need to use overnight rice to make fried rice, this is absolutely not true. Overnight rice is best used for fried rice, but fried rice does NOT need to use overnight rice. As long as you make it so that the rice isn't too moist by controlling, it's always better to use freshly cooked rice to make fried rice. So no, don't make rice and put it in the fridge for a night JUST to make fried rice the next day. Older restaurants and older chefs in Hong Kong NEVER use overnight rice to make fried rice, this really just shows Daddy Lau knows exactly what he's doing, mad respect.

I live alone so when I make a big pot of rice I often have leftover so the next day it makes great fried rice because its already kind of dried out and firm. And that way the rice doesn't go to waste.

Cooked this for my husband who loves Yang Chow fried rice. He loved it (10/10)! Said it's better than the Yang Chow fried rice chinese restaurants because it's packed full of ingredients (and he always orders it as a gauge for how good the restaurant is)! Thank you, Daddy Lau from all of us Chinese Canadians who don't know how to cook Chinese food growing up in North America. Your father is providing s first-rate, high quality, valuable education to CBCs and ABCs. Much appreciated!

The advice on controlling rice texture through cooking is something I haven't heard from other cooks and enthusiasts. That's very helpful to know and experiment on. I do not like the refrigeration method because it requires an extra day of prep. Sometimes the rice doesn't dry out and harden consistently in a container using the over-night fridge method, unless you spread out the rice in a baking sheet (but you don't always have that fridge space ready). Thank you for this video! I will start playing with the water-rice ratio to get a perfect texture for immediate use.

Several key points here: water is your enemy for fried rice. The reason why people recommend overnight rice is less water content. Papa Lau surely but all liquid content near the end of the cooking process. 1. Make sure you actually fry the rice 2. Make sure you cook the eggs before adding the rice 3. I find steaming the rice with 1:1 ratio for jasmine rice has the best texture 4. High water content ingredients at the end of cooking process 5. Cook with your ears. Popping sound of rice is key 6. Have fun with your leftovers. Another great video! This channel is underrated!!!!

Good summary. I find that in so many recipes and cuisines, one of the most important things is to properly manage the water/liquid content. It's a concept that gets missed by novice cooks that are concentrating on the ingredients.

All good points. Wet rice tends to stick to the wok, which inhibits the ability to properly fry the rice. I don't even add soy sauce for this reason.

I'm a lazy bum so I always use the frozen mixed veggies from the store. It speeds things up so much! We use ham or whatever leftover meat we have around, including sausage. Chinese sausage in fried rice is delicious!
@ahkl77
@ahkl77 2 жыл бұрын
For those who can’t find Chinese sausage, any euro style cured sausage will do - it will be more savoury than sweet so you can compensate with some sugar. I use chorizo too if I need some heat to the fried rice.
