As someone who has cooked in a Chinese restaurant kitchen, the reason for the neutral oil instead of the olive oil(on top of it not being a regular Asian cooking ingredient), is because a vegetable or neutral oil has a higher smoke point. Typically speaking, Chinese restaurant will cook quickly over high heat. The more you know.

[@plektosgaming]

But also, the oil has to fit the cuisine. Soybean, peanut, or even sesame are common and it's why fried rice tastes completely different than risotto. The grain itself minus any spices, salt, or oils is essentially tasteless starch. But it's the oils and fats that make up a "cuisine" around the world. This as basic as it gets if you've ever taken a cooking class/course in your career. Use the right oil, not the "white" oil.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

As an Asian, the best explanation I can come up with about rice (plain steamed rice or fried rice) is that it's always PART of the main course, or it's the central component of a meal. A typical Filipino meal would have soup, a protein dish (or two), and a vegetable dish to eat with the rice. When the meal is done, we have a postre (dessert). Most Asians can make do with a small "tuyo" (dried fish) or "tinapa" (smoked fish) to pair with a big bowl of rice, but we seldom eat a 300-gram grilled tilapia with just half a cup of steamed rice. There are even some Asians who eat noodles together with their rice. For us, a meal is just not complete with rice.

[@jamesrawlins735]

In the west I understand why Jamie said fried rice can be a side dish. Most people eat Chinese food from a buffet, so they take a smaller portion of fried rice and add other things. If I order delivery I would just order a large fried rice but my former gf would order something else (like Gen. Tso's chicken) and then take part of my fried rice to augment her meal.

[@ilakya]

24:29 To westerns I'll put the basic kinds of tofu in an easy way you could understand. Tofu is made the same way as cheese but out of soy milk. Adding acid into the soy milk and tofu were formed. Silken tofu is closer to mossarella. It's most fresh compared to other kind. Soft in the texture but unlike cheese, it's not streatchy and easily to break. Hard tofu is wraped in cheese cloth pressed. Basically made like any other kind of aged chesse but it's not aged. It's more firm and dense. But no flavor. No tofu has flavor added. It's all plain. SO DON'T be like Jamie Oliver. Tofu by itself is not cheese. Don't shred silken tofu onto anything and hopes it add more flavor and texture. No, it's the opposite. It's bland and soft so it bring mushy to the plate and also take away a lot of flavors. If you want to substitute meat in the frying dish, use hard/firm tofu. Deep fry it before to get the nice skin texture with soften but bitable meat inside. It's very good at absorbing any flavorful liquid too. But in hurry, you can chop or dice it and use it as is. Throw it in early onto the oil and get some chared texture. That's how we use it in pad thai. Silken tofu usually found in clear soup. But could also eat as a chuck with just soy sauce on it. And you could also deep fry it to get the very nice crunchy outside and super soft inside. But beware that it's hard to not break it which will ruin the texture. And it could protest in the hot oil as it has a lot of water in it. So not recommend for beginner. Anddd if you still thinking about substitute the cheese in terms of flavor. Use miso. It's different but it will give you the different kind of salty and funky while also have a little bit of alcohol aroma. But sure there would be no milky flavor. Nothing else will.

[@我只是一隻貓]

every westerns should read this comment

[@KN-zi4bl]

Different condensing agent can be used to make tofu (calcium sulfate, bittern, sodium gluconate, etc), each bringing different flavor profiles and textures. So technically tofu isn’t flavorless, but the differences are subtle. Like you said, tofu serves as a vessel to more complex seasonings and flavors rather than providing flavors in most Asian cuisines.

[@twelfthdoc]

To add to what @ChefJamesMakinson said about the type of rice Jamie uses, there are several types of packeted rice available like this (Uncle Ben's/Ben's Original, Tilda, etc.) in the UK. They are typically parboiled, with the intention of the end-user microwaving the packet - the extra water content in the rice becoming steam in the microwave and flash-boiling the rice until it's done. As one ought to be cooking with day-old rice instead of freshly boiled, using the packet rice *when fully cooked* is not the best, and using directly into the pan before it's even cooked is just wrong.

​@@diarmuidkuhle8181From my experience (which is admittedly fairly limited, although I hope to visit Germany again someday soon to see more of the country) the Germans do seem very fond of butter. I can't say I blame you, though. 😂 It does make the best fried eggs, in my opinion. Just wonderfully rich and flavorful. I've had some of the best meals I've enjoyed in my whole life in Bayern and Austria. Compared to us here in North America, many European cultures really seem more focused on quality products than on quantity. Up here we are too focused on unhealthy portion sizes of poor quality food. We could really stand to learn a thing or two from European and Asian food culture.

[@Spyduck]

For tofu, there's actually two kinds that you can use that will hold up to rigorous frying. They are called _tau pok_ and _tau kwa_ which are firm and extra firm tofu respectively. These two have an outer skin made of bean curd and firm enough insides that will not fall apart during cooking. The problem with silken tofu is the texture mismatch with fried rice, as well as the inability to withstand the rigourous cooking process of fried rice. It also won't harden enough to withstand the said cooking process.

It’s not only because rice can be dirty, but it’s because it can be too starchy. It doesn’t help in plain rice, but feel like in general all rice should be washed at least once; unless specified to not wash or it’s from a good non wash sourced rice. Like Italian rice for example needs to be product of Italy made, not the ones that say made in xyz country.

For other people who don't get the wash rice thing. It is the same as breaking the sauce or soup. In Asian cuisine, it's OK to break the oil and let it separate.

Ah, a classic Uncle Roger video. Love it. Wonderful collab! Thank you both for this one. ❤

Vincenzo and James, I'd like to explain something to you about MSG that may not be your expertise. There is usually not that much need to use it in European cuisine, because we use many ingredients where it occurs naturally. The reason many Asians don't need it in their cuisine either is they have very strong sources of it in things like fish sauce, shrimp paste or soy sauce. But the situation complicates a bit when you're vegan and your sources are much more limited. For me being a flexitarian, I often want to recreate some flavours I know from meat dishes without using meat, but the lack of meat means much less umami. Now there are multiple ways I can put it in. For example when making a broth with veggies I can add soy sauce. But doing so in addition to MSG/umami taste introduces other flavours I didn't necessarily want there. I learnt that using MSG in such cases is actually a wonderful, often overlooked solution. And I see nothing wrong with doing so, because these days we know MSG is not poison and most recent studies say it's actually less harmful than salt. The case against MSG is one of the biggest culinary myths created by our society. And it's a natural product they obtain through fermentation, it's not any chemistry as some people think. I don't see a reason to say we shouldn't promote it as if it was something bad, which I strongly disagree with. Having said that... Is it needed in egg fried rice as Uncle Roger says? Personally I'm gonna say: not necessarily. That dish already has natural occurring sources of that flavour mostly from the soy sauce. But no harm doing so either. If you wanna stay healthy, there are many other way more dangerous things to avoid than MSG.

11:34 Are you okay? Do I need to call a doctor? Then again, I’ve been laughing the entire time too

[@dale1956ties]

🤣Funniest🤣 reaction video yet Enzo, may I call you Enzo? If he wasn't such an ingredient abuser you'd almost have to feel sorry for Jamie Oliver. LOL!

[@hisomakashiromuko8239]

I'm dying laughing at both of your reaction to Uncle Roger, watching the egg fried rice video. 🤣Anyways, Great reaction. 👍

[@zerocalvin]

technically, jamie oliver isnt wrong about fried rice being random.. it is originally, a leftover dishes, made with food scraps that you cant use in other dish... or at least that is what my late grandma told me... fried rice is one of the dish that you can always make as long as you have rice, some kind of protein and some vegetables...

[@diethylmalonate]

he really should have said something like "flexible" instead

[@zerocalvin]

@@diethylmalonate yeah, he really should have use flexible instead of random...

[@celestef9727]

Keep them coming. I love both of your solo videos but now I cant stop binging the collaborations. Great work!!

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you for your support!

[@Frankie1622]

The ONLY thing I will defend about the Jamie Oliver recipe is the tofu breaking. "Supposedly" the tofu will grab more flavor thus will taste better if hand broken rather than cut nicely... That being said it's egg fried rice so there's no sauce so why do it?! Argh! Even in trying to defend him it leads me to question decisions!

[@sirhoopalot1]

I know of no Asian dish where the tofu is broken … not even mapo tofu.

[@ketomousketo3345]

As a Spanish I want to clarify that we DO use extra virgin olive oil, but not for everything. For example it is perfect for putting in a salad or over a toast of bread, BUT for example to fry something like potato fries, we use just regular olive oil (refined) or sunflower oil. Theese are good oils because of the higher smoke point and that they don't add the strong flavour to the food.

[@shazra1173]

😂😂😂 love the moment at 10:18. “Yeah, normally 😊. But this is special egg fried rice.” The subtle roast is soooo good from James. 😂

[@kweassa6204]

WOOOHOO this time collab on Vincenzo's channel !! I love this. Big respect to my favorite chefs!!

[@pntballne1]

Definitely do more collabs with James. I love both of your content.

[@ionikre]

I love how Vincenzo appreciate and defend the traditional way of making food even it’s from other culture. It truly shows his dedication to traditions and customs in food culture. Very italian style!😂

[@RBroek1983]

You are a great duo to watch, with James being the more rational, and Vincenzo more emotional; both good qualities and gold in combination. I already followed you both, but otherwise I would have done so now for sure!

[@gaylegoodman9097]

I love how much Vincenzo laughs. He’s hysterical himself.

[@dmorenol01]

Love your collaborations...! Keep them up

[@vincenzosplate]

Which video should we react to next?

[@mikukumiku]

James so respectful and responding to chef Vincenzo with "sì"! You can tell that James has worked in kitchens all over Europe. Wonderful seeing you two in a collab video. Love it! EDIT: Regarding tofu in fried rice, it's possible, just as Chef James mentioned, but we only use FRIED TOFU. We never use silk tofu for fried rice. We also cut them into cubes or thin strips depending on what you're trying to do. If you want it a bit crispy and for texture, you use strips. If you want it more chewy, go for small cubes.

[@alfianfahmi5430]

I think the main distinction between the "main dish" and the "side dish" is probably something like "which one is the star of the dish?". If the "star of the dish" is something like Yangzhou or Special Fried Rice, then it's the main dish. If the "star of the dish" is something like a whole Peking Duck, then you can order an egg fried rice as a side dish.

[@bobbicatton]

You two make a terrific duo for reaction videos. Excellent‼️👍😊

[@m0shman]

My 2 favorite KZbinrs!!! ❤ Glad you made a video together. To many more!

[@JohnPorter4096]

Vincenzo and James! You guys have a great chemistry together! I loved this video!

[@pawcio27pl]

Vincenzo we need more collab like this one ! Great video ! Much love for you and James ! Im waiting for more ;)

[@vincenzosplate]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed this collab my friend! 😊

[@joeytgaming2296]

Love this collaboration both of you are so underrated. Would love to see more

[@vincenzosplate]

Stay tuned my friend! Which video should we react to next?

[@ThePeskyjay]

Love you two together, will look forward to future collaborations. 😀

[@JontyBlue67]

Love the camaraderie between you guys, very entertaining and informative, bringing two different backgrounds to a review is great. There are many products that don't shout MSG, but it is what they contain, Maggi Seasoning Sauce for example. If you are truly worried about glutamates in food then avoid the following: flavour enhancers 620-625 and natural glutamates such as strong cheeses (Parmesan, Camembert, Brie and Gruyere), soy sauce, oyster sauce, black bean sauce, tomato sauce, miso, yeast spread, mushrooms, plums and spinach.

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you so much for your valuable advice my friend! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this colab!

[@lfcmike12]

In the UK a lot of people order an egg fried rice as a side dish with most Chinese takeaway meals, usually only costs £0.50p-£1 extra to have fried rice over boiled so most people I know at least, go for the tastier option 😋

[@martinchochol1756]

@ 7:04 Even risotto is considered a side dish by many Americans - a "fancy rice" basically, so 🤗

[@Every_Day_islike_Sunday]

I love how you two discuss things! I get lots of good info. Love you both! More, please! Maybe do Kay or Jack. Lots of good laughs there.❤❤

[@gadaleantudor]

Honestly love this. Vincenzo is absolutely chaotic, while James is perfectly grounded. Best combination.
