[@childofthesun8889]

if you've ever watched Australian MasterChef you'll learn that the best cook never wins, it's basically a popularity contest. Having said that, I think Adam is generally one of the better celebrity cooks (I won't say chef) that we have

[@nicodiangelo7051]

How reynold lost season 12 genuinely blows my mind

[@1flash3571]

@@nicodiangelo7051 Maybe, the taste wasn't there. It may look good, but it also has to taste good and have good texture. You can't just look at the food and say that it tastes good without actually tasting it.

[@Metalg316]

I agree the best usually doesn't win but I think the top 20 of any season would school the US one. The level of cooking in AU is just so much higher.

[@FlamerzZz]

​@@1flash3571 I am a chef myself what he did blew minds sometimes. The taste wasn't there maybe its the judges doesn't like it. Also he had few restaurants now, how is it he's not winning on that ? clearly master chef is a hoax

[@anoldman9743]

The main reason is because the judges make their answer based on whims. There is no rubric for assessing the dish.

[@Reyrocksall]

I actually like the long explanations haha. Helps me understand and grasp concepts better

[@shabzone]

But he's explaining things and techniques that aren't even used in this particular dish, and then immediately proceeds to burn the garlic.

[@Reyrocksall]

@@shabzone that is fair haha. Maybe slightly tangential

[@sulemax9907]

I don't mind with his explanation since it's a cooking tutorial video and stuff so those young mothers know what they're doing in kitchen.

[@adminsucks8806]

​@@shabzonedude I almost fell asleep

[@gr8aussief--kup]

a lot of adams videos are more about getting people trying and explaining it to a largely australian audience that isnt super familiar to the traditional versions. he does to the traditional ones in his travel cooking shows. also bloke is a lege4nd and funny af

[@yulibeta]

In Japanese style egg fried rice it’s a common trick to coat the rice in egg before frying, since Japanese rice is extra sticky, and it helps with the separation. So, I guess it’s gold with silver?

[@quangpham2031]

Vietnamese style as well. I think your reasoning is absolutely true for Japanese and Vietnamese rice. Part of the reason is though, you don't freaking plan fried rice meal 1 day ahead. Never. It's supposed to be fast, simple, mind-free. So you throw leftover rice in fridge, turn it sometimes to dry evenly before sealing it, but it will still over-dry. Coating with beaten egg before frying helps returning the rice to the right texture. The rice will be crispy without long cooking time. I do not like well-done egg plus rice, it's just broken up omelette with oiled rice.

[@MaxKingsley72]

Good thing noone asked and he explained the same thing in the video. This is regional Chinese fried rice. Fuck off

[@KansaiTeacher]

Rely? Not in my Japanese family’s household. Haven’t seen it once.

[@leecarter2356]

Living in mainland China, I've had garlic in fried rice many times. In some provinces I've been to, the garlic's not even minced. it's finely sliced so that it gets golden and crispy when fried with the rice.

[@seijiren5115]

There are many types of fried rice

[@childofthesun8889]

sounds delicious

[@karlolim625]

you cant fool us adam liaw! your fried rice is shayt!

[@Rommel12]

I honestly didn't mind the longer format of explaining the reasoning behind using specific ingredients. Also helps the viewer if they want to make their own spin on the dish, or if there are specific ingredients that they either cannot eat, or just cannot find in their area.

[@laurabustos6560]

I don't know chef, I don't watch Adam's vids much, but I love long winded instruction vids for any style of cooking that I don't do too much. So I'm all in for your longer instruction. Any time you decide to do lessons so you can go multiple hrs 'splaining all the stuffs, I'm so there!

[@ChefBrianTsao]

🤘

[@peabody1976]

Others have said on Uncle Roger's video that Adam Liaw talks a lot because he's in "instruction" mode for his videos. In a way it's to provide the "why" behind the "what". It has its place, and it's more about the detail than just the steps. I do get why Uncle Roger is feeling a bit... drawn out. :)

[@MysteriumArcanum]

You can explain the steps in a recipe without it sounding like a dissertation though

[@AnamFatima]

@@MysteriumArcanum Everyone has their own thing. The part of me that is still the "but why?" kid likes cooks who give an indepth explanations like Adam. But I can also understand that someone who just wants a quick tutorial would not appreciate it.

[@betaich]

@@AnamFatima you can pack any presentation full with information without it being boring and the narrator always using the same tone of voice. Alex french guy cooking does in detail explanations without it being boring.

[@AnamFatima]

@@betaich True, but "boring" is quite subjective. What someone else finds boring I might find just fine, just as something I find boring might be the most exciting thing for someone else. Alex is amazing but not everyone is able to put as much effort in as he does. Adam's video has quite a old timey feel to it, my mother used to watch cooking shows with the chef talking the same way.

[@joesama3282]

@@AnamFatima You're right on the "old-timey feel". My father used to own a small japanese restuarant and he used to teach me and my big sister with the long explanations, that's how we got our skill and soon after my father had passed down the restuarant to my sister since she have a better business mindset. Present day, our restuarant have since relocated inside the karaoke lounge that the owner was a good friend with my father giving us space to setup the restuarant because the old location rental have a hike increased. Under my sister's management she hired two part-timer, but we taught them with quick tutorial as they adapt. They knew how to google information, that's why my sister just give them a fishing rod instead of telling them "ok go into the lake, see the fishes and catch with your bare hands". My father generation, he do not know how to google so he will need the tutorial and information in one go and he usually watch these type of video with Adam's style

[@Toastybees]

I think it's possible to make videos both information heavy and entertaining, Max Miller over on the Tasting History channel gives a history lesson on the food while cooking and he gets millions of views.

[@ironboy3245]

He also has a near monopoly on ancient foods. It's kind of his thing

[@Toastybees]

@@ironboy3245 He was hardly the first person to do cooking and history together on KZbin by a very long shot, he just has an entertaining presentation and charismatic personality.

[@jamesmurphy7828]

I love that channel. Good stuff.

[@DC-ru5xz]

I love that guy!

[@maximus13161]

@@Toastybees I love any of his videos involving hard tack just for the flashback to his incredulous face when he first made it.

[@Aurega88]

In my experience, Northern Chinese home cooking often adds spring onion or leeks first to "fry the pan", or at least that's what my grandmother and uncle taught me how to cook. But we often fry then spring onions/leeks to when they start caramelizing and become brown.

Have you seen Roder's reaction to Poernomo's fried rice? That's a good one with another MasterChef contestant.

[@JayKughan]

Hi Brian, Yup, Adam does talk a lot, and you're right, you do too. But I still subscribe & follow both your channels because you both take the time to impart your knowledge & experience. That's very helpful. So to counter all the talking & in your case, repeating the same thing over & over, I increase the playback speed & constantly have my finger close to the forward arrow key (>) to fastforward verbal ramblings & repetitions ;D Conclusion, you do you & I'll do me. Don't change for anyone's opinon, not unless you consider it positive self-improvement. Nobody's perfect. By default, there are pros & cons to who/how we all are :D TC bub.. Cheers..

I don’t, but I’d be very interested in any recommendation anyone else may have!

[@fishingforcompliments9779]

Negative space, contrasting color, garnishes that make sense to the dish- more traditional is height like the protein over the starch; more modern is a definitive front and back of the presentation Just, if you're serving anything meant to be crisp, please put the sauce UNDER the protein

[@wil19853]

Your reactions to uncle Roger's jokes are absolutely hilarious 😁😂

[@michaelwang6415]

Ngl, when watching Adam Liaw talk for so long, explaining the ingredients and the alternatives. Just reminds me of Hell's Kitchen when the contestants Chefs would explain for over 5 mins on what their dishes was/were.

[@harshgandhi100]

I am very happy that you consider matrix reloaded the last movie. revolutions was not that bad but atleast it was not ressurections.

[@LiveErrors]

the reason you were generous to Jamies butter chikken is propably because its the first thing you had seen him make that you actually wanted to eat (not craving, just thinking it would be a decent meal) its a big contrast to the prior videos

[@NPDGX]

If your feeling so concerned about the grading, it might be worth trying a new method of grading. For example, maybe you use more than one grade, like a grade for choice of ingredients, and a grade for execution. You're basically doing that pattern anyways without the numbers.

[@angelariojas7875]

I just gotta take a minute here and let you know I like your guitar collection

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

Speaking of Auntie Esther. She makes a really really good looking fried rice. So much so that Roger instantly fell in love.

[@trevorpinnocky]

the rice is sticky because it’s a starchy short grain rice. i think it’s sushi rice. even day old sushi rice will not be dry and you can’t force separation. it will naturally clump together even if your technique is correct. he needs to use jasmine rice or something long grain ….

[@morganalori]

thank you for being aware of how to deliver information effectively. Adam's voice is very calm, but he doesn't always vary his delivery. It almost becomes soporific. Thanks for the entertaining and info with these reaction videos.

I actually didn't find the original video that boring. Everything he had to say was informative. he has quite a calming voice. As you you would know if you have watched the video he did with uncle roger (I belive you did because I'm pretty sure I've seen it) his whole thing is kinda zen. perhaps that just works for me. He also never paused the video just to agree with uncle roger either (me throwing mad shade). That said, there are definitely ways he could have done it better and I'm sure I would change my mind if I watched more than one video of his without the extra commentary of uncle Roger and
