Big thanks to my friends @Chinese Cooking Demystified ! real pleasure to have you around spreading some good Chinese culinary knowledge !
Here’s the recipe for making fried rice at home :
1 egg (whisked)
2 spring onions (use the 2 greens but only 1 white)
a pinch of salt
a tiny pinch of sugar
1 tbsp of neutral oil ( plus a few more to coat the pan before you start)
~250g of steamed rice (use either the method from this episode or the one from episode 7, also written below)
a few drops of light soy sauce
a skillet
a spatula
Instructions for making homemade fried rice :
Get the pan to medium heat (on mine it’s the setting “4” out of 9). Leave the skillet for a few minutes, for it to accumulate heat.
Coat it generously with oil, make sure the skillet is nicely coated. GEt that oil out in a bowl. Don’t discard it, you can use it again for the same purpose.
Add a tbsp of fresh oil to the pan.
Drop the egg in, and stir it vigorously. It should blend in, almost emulsify with the oil in the pan. Hard to describe but it kinda fluffs up int there.
Drop the rice before the egg is fully set.
Don’t lift the pan. Move fast. Use your spatula to break lumps gently, spread the rice, and then flip it on itself. Repeat.
When the rice starts dancing, add the seasoning, add the white part of the onions. Stir a little.
Now, Wake up and Crank up the heat to the max.
Drop the soy. Stir. Stir. Stir. Green part of onions. Stir. Stir. Stir. No more than a minute total. (chef Samuel did that for ten seconds but it was on a rocket stove)
Remember : It should steam and toast, but not smoke and burn.
Off the heat. Little more green spring onions on it. Eat asap.

Salut,
Alex
Nice wrap up to an adventure series. Take it back down to the everyday, in a way almost anyone can benefit. One thing I saw in my own journey that you didn’t cover was dry toasting the rice in a pan before cooking it, I haven’t tried it yet but it’s on the list.
The steaming method for rice is definitely the winning game changer over all.
Just ger a rice cooker
Love your series. What about a carbon steel to make fried rice? Maybe it's easier to control heat
Fantastic!! Simple detailed pros and cons of utensils and ingredients used resulting in super dishes. Love watching , so educational and so much fun, you're the best
Cooking rice with a colander? Wait till Uncle Roger hear of this
cacio e pepe and omelette were bang on but the chefs fried rice.. u didnt come even close
Uncle Roger need to watch this.
Nice this super good advice, best 炒饭 I ever made. However used day old rice normal boiled rice wich i then steamed in microwave, before just using it directly which made the rice hard and dry
Thank you alex!! I learned so much from you 💓 what do you think about making stir fried noodles??
google this —>>> dragon ball 炒飯
waiting for uncle roger comment
But woul uncle Roger approve?
I'm wondering what will be the next series… Summer, smoke, bbq season. I wish a good old smoked brisket! 😁🍻🤘
NOW WHERE IS UNCLE ROGER
Great serie! How about rice steamer machine (like japanese ones)? Would it work with jasmin rice? … Oh and I'd love a fish n' chips series ha ha
Really enjoyed this series. You really went all out on this, and it was amazing. Looking forward to the next one.
I use heat resistant silicone spatula almost for everything just really useful utensil
What’s the sad song at 11:50?
Let's see if Uncle Roger approves this. No Wok is already a -1
B.I.R Curry is the greatest culinary mystery that needs to be solved…
Your Asian friend has really hairy arms!
your fried rice still looks white.
edit: why is he using jasmine rice, uncle roger wouldnt like any of this
First of all. I like nearly all of your videos. But the aslong I see peas in your fried rice this series is far away from being good.
i love it!! 😍
What about just using a rice cooker ??
I'd love to see his take on a paella. The dish seems simple but many people mess it up.
your best so far
