That soup pour technique was essentially creating MSG in realtime which is crazy. That soup was an umami bomb. The slow drizzle into the mega hot wok was evaporating the liquid while concentrating the flavor and infusing it into the rice. I wonder if adding msg became a shortcut down the road, just like you can add bouillon as a shortcut to stock

[@zxbc1]

Yes, because cooking like this is not practical. I understand from a food art point of view of cooking fried rice like real gourmet, but if you cook with good MSG and bouillon it's basically the same taste and saves you 70% of the effort and time.

[@maxschmidt9461]

@@zxbc1 well, not sure about thir particular one but making real broth and reducing it does make a huge difference, doesn't hurt to have it in large badges and frozen though. a good, reduced, home made bone broth as a base for a dish, either a sauce or completely evaporated will make a significant difference. not saying the dried instant stuff and MSG can't improe a meal, they most certainly will, but it's far from the same. and I couldn't care less about what's authentic or "food art".

“Egg Fried Rice is just dumb fast food” Uncle Roger: *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE*

[@junkname9983]

all the guy said was egg fried rice is just simple food. The subtitle added the 'dumb' part

[@emilywang8369]

As a Chinese who sometimes do egg fried rice myself, the technique is really hard. It might look simple and easy though. The chicken broth with the hams and shrimp roe and else gives the soup enough umami(natural) to be a replacement for msg. That is why for seasoning, he only used salt.

[@shravyaboggarapu5877]

I was thinking the same

[@TT-pn2lb]

that's the proper way to give layers of umami to the dishes. using MSG is just taking a shortcut. Also the technique of adding the soup slightly into the wok has applied on many cuisines in Asia. The whole thing would go too moisturized if you put it all in once.

[@nearfall87]

got it backwards, MSG is the substitute for those naturally umami rich (but expensive) ingredients.

Dudes tecnnique is wild. That flip is immaculate.

[@MrCheese1572]

This is such an amazing technique, it resembles a lot to what we do in Italy with risotto allowing the rice to gradually absorb the flavours of a broth or a wine. We also do it with pasta and cooking water in order to preserve all of the starch and make the dish more flavourful (we call it ''risottatura''). I'll definitely try this fried recipe at home :) ty Uncle Roger, peace

[@pimmyflores8739]

I've seen an Asian friend do the soup in fried rice. I was shocked, but it was so incredibly good. It's a game changer. I haven't been able to replicate it as my rice turned soggy

[@SteinerNein]

Well I guess it’s time to practice.

[@CreamAle]

You didn't fully dehydrate the rice. Not only does he use old rice, which is dehydrated by the fridge.. after he fully cooked the egg into it, he continued to dry the rice in the wok. The soup only rehydrates it to a "fresh cooked" like texture. You need lots of heat or *really* old rice for this.

[@Mizuki312]

One of the secrets is to put the fire very high (and better if you use a wok as in the video, because a wok lets you cook at a VERY high temperature without the food sticking to it). The water in the soup evaporates as soon as it touches the wok but the solids and flavors in the broth stay on the rice. That's why it doesn't get soggy.

[@atheisthumanist1964]

​@@CreamAleFully dehydrated rice would need to be cooked again. Although a refrigerator does remove a small amount of moisture, it is not a dehydrator. The soup is used to infuse the umami flavours, used in the stock, into the rice. Nothing to do with rehydration or texture.

[@atheisthumanist1964]

Use much higher heat under your wok (medium high to high), so the stock evaporates quickly. Add 1/4 cup of stock at a time and constantly toss over the heat.

I just visited the place a month ago to try the fried rice. Although his apprentice cooked for us instead of himself, the rice was really impressive. It was like watching a live food show. In addition to the $36 charge for the fried rice, you also need to order about $100 of other dishes to be able to order the fried rice. This rule upset a lot of visitors and left bad comments on the Chinese Yelp. However, you have a top chef cook for you for about half an hour and only for one dish. The cost to me seems pretty reasonable. The other dishes are also pretty good and really worth a try if you have a chance to go there. Another point is that you need to have an above-average taste to really appreciate the fried rice. Someone with heavy taste buds probably won't like it.

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

10:37 that's was me during college, eating rice with fried rice

[@valemendoza1940]

Tío Roger! Do this rice Tío. On a side note, thank you for introducing me to your culture and it’s cuisine. My kids and I love watching your videos. I’ve got my 6 year old son asking me if I added MSG to my enchiladas! Lmao. I’m just up the 101 if you ever find yourself in Ventura. Keep doing what you’re doing. Definitely Mexican approved!

[@rachkate76]

😂

[@tanakasensei3450]

I just know that I'll be a forever niece; the last time I made fried rice, I not only used carton egg, I also made it in a saucepan...AND burnt the rice to the bottom. Also, the character break in the bloopers was just great.

[@communismwithgiggles2515]

Uncle Roger's quick to judge but also highly appreciative of fine and proper technique, the dad jokes are a plus

[@Jmamboman]

I want to see you combine the soup technique with the fancy egg technique, msg, and soy sauce to create the ultimate fried rice.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

would ruin it tbh

[@danielnyu500]

Fair comment. Sometimes more is less@@UltimateGamerCC

[@alantinoalantonio]

I read this comment in Uncle Roger's voice.

[@toriless]

Soy sauce is just salt with a tiny bit of soy

[@brozouk]

Not all Asian cooking need soy sauce,

[@ravleow9748]

The soup technique kind of reminds me of how you cook risotto with wine and broth, gradually adding while you toss and stir! Never would have imagined to do it for fried rice though!!!

[@DukeSkywalker75]

yes we want you to learn that technique and bring it to us to learn too. This Chef was awesome too

[@howardfjs]

9:18 Oh no Uncle Roger, not again 😂 -100000 social credit

[@OhItsThatWay]

Never thought i would see Uncle Roger learn anything new, applause for this chef

[@einzgeisha]

Yes!!! I want to see Uncle Roger make this at home!!! when i was a kid my FA would use leftover fried rice with a little bit of water to soften, but never soup like this Uncle Chef.

[@michaelolz]

Read your Iron Wok Jan. The tossing of the rice while slowly adding the soup creates a convection that evaporates unwanted moisture while adding the flavor of the soup to the already amazing fried rice.

[@daniellanthony3129]

I can’t comprehend how this guy makes me so internally happy 🤣

[@jomontanee]

Who? The chef or Uncle Roger.

[@peternystrom921]

That´s what she said!

[@KennyCleod]

You know this dude is balance out the egg and rice when punching it. Like literally balance it as if he already soaked the rice with eggs. That is skill. He used broth to balance out the rice taste. Since the wok gonna be hot and the way he did already dries back out the rice. Now all the taste already soaked in it and perfectly texture. This is some serious skills the whole thing. It cost that much it is entirely worth it.

[@jujutrini8412]

After seeing this I understand why it costs that much. Basically you are paying for all the years he has acquired the skills to make this dish perfect! If I tried to make this dish it would be a soggy disaster and the rice would be splattered all over the kitchen 😂😂😂😂!

[@susandarsey791]

Banned or not, I think that you treated this chef with the respect he deserves for his hard work and dedication to his profession. I hope one day you are able to travel there legally....lol, meet this chef and finally taste that wonderful looking food. 🙂

[@duhhuhduh]

the ouigi to talk to broth joke is brilliant.

[@n_duck9696]

You know you've earned the uncle name card when Uncle Roger becomes hungry by watching your cooking

[@tatshinlau1815]

I legit found this so impressive that I showed my mom, who is also Chinese. I found it so surprising that my mom understood the references and laughed at some of the jokes. Uncle roger can make any person laugh regardless of race or culture

[@ManafestoRah]

peep how uncle Xia wok is beat up from making that same rice and banging that wok in the same spot, truly 20years at his craft.

[@michalphang]

The Only fried rice video that I got furious watching because uncle Roger kept pausing. Let me watch it uninterrupted please! Salivating so much..

[@VA_Kushiel_AV]

This is my first time seeing this method as well but it absolutely works. Notice he only oils the wok once before the egg and rice go in. He doesn't use more oil so all that is dried up/soaked into the egg/rice to keep the rice from getting soggy. Oil in the rice repels water, therefor resisting the broth to make it easier to steam, and season the rice further. Basically a interesting way to get the umami flavor from the broth without making the rice soggy, and streaming it in the process.

[@sonny9054]

Thanks for the breaking the cooking method down to mere mortals like me. I am assuming that you need a decent level of heat to keep the wok hot throughout the process. Does that make sense?

[@sbtcyuh1646]

this chef must be a worthy opponent for Uncle Wang Gang, his skills are top notch, and what i love about Chinese Chefs is they look so chill when making dish, no fancy things no fancy words but they still making masterpiece

[@sthn8758]

Uncle Xia was elected as “The Yangzhou Fried Rice Inheritor” back in 2017. Meaning he’s basically the god of Fried Rice.

[@kimyoonmisurnamefirst7061]

A lot of the base ingredients have natural MSG to them such as the mushrooms, shrimp, chicken broth, and ham.

[@lq9734]

the chef then uses the broth/soup technique to infuse the natural 'MSG' with every grain of rice, all the flavors FUIYOH!

[@MegaMiquelon]

You mean to say natural umami flavor?

[@monchichis333]

@@lq9734 and that is how you make a basic extraction process, by putting all ingredients in a liquid and extracting the flavors

實際上在炒飯裡加水或湯不算是稀奇的技法，有些廚師的偏好不是太過乾鬆的炒飯，那樣是看起來粒粒分明很好看，但吃起來太過乾甚至會卡喉嚨，所以有些廚師會在出鍋前加水或高湯來讓炒飯濕潤些，並且可以加入其他的風味，不至於黏稠即可

[@janeleong6873]

我在家炒飯也會加水，因為炒的冷飯有時候會太黏，撒點水可以幫助飯炒鬆散，但我未見過好像片中廚師那樣加這麽大量的湯，而且最後也沒有變粥😋

[@wolfcolour8663]

是的，尤其是使用隔夜饭来炒饭的，真的很卡喉咙，我很少使用隔夜饭炒饭，每次使用都需要在出锅前加点水（高汤更好）。 如果是现煮现用的，只要在煮饭的时候比平时少10-20%的水，就可以用来炒饭了，太干的话之后炒饭的时候再加水调整。

[@blackironslayer7228]

That soup technique is legitimately interesting and eye opening.
