As an asian, south east asian to be exact, jamie oliver breaks my heart. Cooking gado gado using peanut butter? Bruhh

Uncle Roger is a Malaysian. In Malaysia we call Uncle or Auntie to our elders neither with or without blood relation, just show respect and treat close to each other just like family.

Uncle Roger is famous, auntie Helen gonna be so proud

7:53 No, don't call that "Thai Style" Thai people painful enough already after seeing Jamie cooking Thai food😭

Bear in mind what the american girl said 'americans dont really cook rice' same with most brits... the indian girl hersha is cooking to how bbc told her to do it... her 'dont be afraid' is aimed at mostly white brits who are scraed of cooking rice with no experience... its a very simplified way she is showing... there was a follow up video to that where uncle roger went to hershas house and the way she cooked it at home was much more traditional indian way of cooking

I watched the original Uncle Roger's video about the first fried rice lady. It was my first time watching Uncle roger. He's hilarious. If I remember correctly, the fried rice lady was on a BBC cooking show and she was following BBC's recipe to cook rice. That video was uploaded in July 2020 and it has 37 million views as of May 2024.

There are so many varieties of fried rice in Malaysia. There are more than 10 types of fried rice Related to ginger, there is Nasi Goreng Halia (Ginger Fried Rice) but not many people cook it.

I have never seen anyone in America eat sushi with a fork… I’m not saying it doesn’t happen. But it’s not the normal.

9:02 "Uncle Ben" LMAO, very good 👍

I'm guessing a lot of people outside of America don't know this but all rice sold here is vitamin enriched, They pre-wash it then spray it down with vitamins to increase the nutritional value because it doesn't really have any. If you read the bag they will all say in capital letters DO NOT WASH somewhere on the bag. It was actually put into law in 1943 as the first War Food Order that it is against the law to sell unenriched rice here. I wash my rice anyway as do most other people I know but everyone just thinks it's starch they are washing off, its not. That's why rice here tends to have a different flavor or not cook right if you don't wash it.

as an american, the americans I know eat a lot of rice, and do rinse it prior to cooking, based on what kind of rice it is, if its bagged well probably wash it, if its like the uncle bens boxed rice then no we wont

In Louisiana we cook beaucoup rice, and I learned the finger method growing up. We buy a lot of rice cookers also.

We do basmati rice instead of white rice and we cook with broth instead of water so draining all the flavor of the broth would be a death sentence in my family😂😭💀

Uncle Roger is a Malaysian and that how Malaysian Chinese speak,some but not all.

When I was a child (1960s), my sister and I called my parent's good friends (for example) "Uncle Lou" and "Aunt Pat" even though they weren't related to us. Later (teen years, and even before that) it was "Mr. Smith" or "Mrs. Jones". I don't think I called anyone from my parent's generation solely by their first name, even into my adult years.

We need more of this series, good video 👌

Jamie Oliver prepared a "paella" with chorizo, which you can expect, more than just another atrocity in his repertoire, greetings. 🤨🤨🤨🤨

Ok. First. I'm not defending Jamie Oliver. But I think I know why he added that splash of water to the pan. And the girls hit upon this. I think he was lowering the temp of the pan so that the sugar in the chili jam wouldn't burn. ...or, he's just insane.

As an American who's graduated culinary school, I learned the french method of using 1 part rice to 2 parts water in a pot, cooking for 20 minutes. I have never had to drain the rice or anything and I've always had perfect rice. I actually prefer it to the rice cooker because it's much smaller and easier to clean after dinner. I've even done the quick restaurant method of cooking it in a hotel pan in the oven and had it turn out perfect every time. BUT ALWAYS WASH YOUR RICE

In the Philippines, our fried rice is simple, SO simple; just fry CRUSHED garlic until golden brown, add the rice then sprinkle Salt bae or MSG then Voila. Very simple and savory delicious

A very nice and entertaining video may thanks to all involved.

I learned how to cook rice from my dad who learned from his Cajun mother. We don't wash rice cuz we want it sticky. And our recipe is put your finger in the pot, fill rice to your first knuckle on your finger, fill water to the second knuckle on your finger.

Preparation for long grain rice is different from medium grain and different from short grain (or glutinous) rice... also different from parboiled rice. Different rice means different preparation styles,

Rice, like pasta, *can* be cooked softer or harder “ to the tooth” depending on preference. I like an intermediate rice. Not too hard, but not too soft either.

In Puerto Rick, the rice is washed before it's cooked that lady destroyed that rice 😢

In the Philippines we used to call uncle and auntie with or without blood relation. It’s sign of respect to those who are older than you

this channel is soooo awsome

I'm 65 year old Texan. And was thought as a little kid by my Mom, to measure your water with your finger! And as a kid we ate rice almost every day!

Well actually sometimes I crush the tofu mix with fried rice if I don’t have eggs and it actually really good

Never Let Jamie Oliver cook Asian cuisine 😂😂😂

I make Tamago kake gohan just to make something quick, if i have leftover rice then i make eggfried rice sometimes, skill is to get the right amount of egg/rice to make it like "fluffy"

Yeah, in America we don't call friends of the family uncle or aunt. However, for my family we have one really good friend, my brother and I called him uncle.

Uncle roger was famous aunt Helen gonna be so proud

Most rice in Europe is cleand before you buy it. You can wash the rice to get the starch out to make the rice less sticky.

Fried rice in SEA is what pizza is to Italy. You can experiment with leftovers, sauces and spices and if it turns out edible then it's called fried rice. What Jamie Oliver did is wrong because he literally ruins good ingredients. The end result showing decent looking fried rice is only because the power of video editing. With what he put in there, the rice would never turn out like that. Same goes for the first lady, her egg fried rice won't look like that.

I loved this, it was so funny.

Indonesian egg fried rice beside cook with garlic and red onion also put kecap (dark sweet sauce) and it's make really nice flavor and for the topping with egg can make omelet or fried eggs .

There are cultures who drain rice, but not all rice types should be cooked like that.

I would like to see a longer video that shows all ofvUncle Roger's video plus your reaction.😁

Would love to see you ladies react to the Kent Rollins version of egg fried rice...

i just use instant rice that already partially cooked but put in rice cooker. but its boxed rice. have tried to make uncooked rice doesnt work to well

7:52 no no no no no no, as Thai, I can confirm it's not.

"Americans dont cook rice alot" DONT LIE 😂🙅🏽‍♀️ GIRL WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. ?!?! JUST SAY YOU DONT 😂😂😂 DONT SAY AMERICANS 😤 😂

Please do react more on Uncle Roger. He's fun hahaha I wanna see your reactions!

Unwashed rice isn't dirty it's just starch and for some dishes (like risotto) it will help to make them more creamy in texture.

Just gonna say, when I make spaghetti, and only spaghetti, I do actually like it with smaller sections of the pasta. Probably because it reminds me of school lunch spaghetti. But even then, I cut the pasta in the dish once it's served. Breaking it up before you cook it just gives it more of a chance for individual pieces to stick together.

New prescriber.Cause you're already acting to uncle Roger.Please do more of them

This might come to a surprise to many but of the 40,000 cultivated rices and the additional 50,000 wild varieties, all cannot be cooked with the same method and ratio. The hand (or finger) technique for ratio can't be used on local asian red rice, forbidden rice, basmati and many others. Some require pre-soaking while others require less water; the whole reasoning behind the straining rice (in collander) and rinsing afterwards was a trend that took hold in areas in which rice production had elevated arsenic levels (USA, Japan, India, China, Brazil and Peru). After a long term research (of over 10 yrs), in 2015, it was scientifically proven that rinsing rice removed up to 30% of arsenic, 20% of mercury (USA rice have the highest levels - uncle Ben's and Carolina) while also removing beneficial minerals. This is the "period", that we saw an uptick in sales of brown rice, forbidden rice (black/purple rice). Since the bran is still on the kernel, rinsing it reduces the loss of good minerals while still removing a portion of the arsenic. The first fried rice is "Yangzhou fried rice"; known as "special fried rice" in the UK and as "combination fried rice" in Australia and NZ. In which soya sauce is rarely used (in HK) as they use Shaoxin wine but in western cooking they removed the wine and replaced it with soya sauce. The classic look of the rice should have a light off-white colour. As for the second, one must understand that while much of the world loves spicy with salty foods. There is still a good portion of the world that prefer sweet and spicy. Koreans love to boast how they prefer salty and spicy and to leave sweet flavours by themselves. So this SHOULD mean that if they did what they preached. Their sweet fried chicken should revolve exclusively with Dakgangjeong And reserve Yangnyeom and anything similar to dwaeji kalbi to all westerners😂. To say it sounds wrong is okay but one must try and see, to properly judge it. Keep in mind that sambal, Naga sauce, sriracha, harissa and any hot sauces were not the norm in Europe. As many of those have completely foreign flavour profiles from what they have known. They incorporated the spiciness onto jellies and pickles. The problem with pickling is the vinegar tones down the spiciness whereas in jelly form it retains it. With time, many have/will become accustomed to this flavour. Immigration has also been a benefactor as to maintain these products in shops (due to the constant demand). Hope this clears a bit😊 Just as a heads up USA hold less than 5% of the world population but Europe is closer to 11%. Their eating habits while being similar they are quite opposed when taking 🔥 into account. Less than 20% (150M) of native European eat "spicy", whereas more than 80% (280M) of USA do.

I felt the same way all the time.

Silken tofu is way too soft for fried rice, but firm or extra firm can be pretty good in fried rice, depending on how you prepare it.

>2:50 I'm Japanese and I've never heard of anyone measuring water with their fingers. 99% of Japanese people probably rely on the rice cooker's measurement to adjust the amount of water.

As a Thai native we do not put ginger in our fried rice. Jamie Oliver is the Anti Asian Chef. That's why all his Asian cuisine restaurants have never opened for longer than 2 yrs in Asia as well as UK

I have problems with high blood pressure, I’d have to choose between adding soy sauce or msg. I’d go with the soy sauce. Also love a splash of sesame oil when making fried rice.

Im watching people react to a person reacting to something. My brain hurts

Rice sold in western countries (western brands) is already clean so washing is not necessary...some rice from other countries you might have to wash it because of the dehusking and polishing process. But many still wash it to remove excess starch so the water stays cleaner when cooking instead of slimy.

7:52 is where the Thais get offended the most, I think. We normally make egg fried rice like Korean Japanese and Chinese do. 😂😂😂

Do Italians think that noodles magically change taste if they're broken?

In West Asia and India rice is usually drained so it's not sticky. Especially with basmati and jasmine rice. (obviously this method should prob not be used for fried rice, but just saying draining rice is a thing haha)

I'll admit to eating sushi with a fork, I only do it in front of my roommate because it drive her nuts, and I laugh.

FYI if the boyfriend said she’s better at making rice it’s because he doesn’t want to cook rice.

bet there are a lot of rice cookers in louisiana

there are plenty of people in America with rice cookers

Title should be "East Asian and American girl react"

I'm american and I keep Lao Gan Ma in my pantry. It's so good with so many things.

In Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia its normal to call people older than you uncle or aunty.

You might watch him teach "Cowboy Kent Rollins" cook Egg Fried Rice...

I'm not gonna claim that I know how to do a proper fried rice, but I do what I can. I have a wok, but I make spicy spam fried rice and include eggs and a couple vegetables (just because I want a variety of nutrients in the meal). I wash the rice myself and use a rice cooker (or rather a digital cook pot that has a Rice Cooker setting) so I'd say I get like 75% of the way to a proper fried rice. haha.

now we do the perfect fried rice video!

Maybe it's a Southern thing, but family friends are TTies (auntie's) or Uncle. Older are Grandparents, our age are Cousins or Brothers and Sisters. But We older Americans?

That finger in water trick on making rice is what i do

Ripping tofu apart is a sacrilege!

Nice!

Japanese girl sounds more American than the American girl 😂

hope you guys can react to TPOT 1

When the American was the first to react when Jamie was about to put water on the rice, so proud of that girl. XD Edit: I just noticed that you did not put the links to the videos you reacted to in your video's description. Haiyaaaaa.

There are types of rice that are designed to *not* be washed. Enriched rice shouldn’t be washed if you want to retain the enrichment/vitamins. Japan has some brands where washing is unnecessary. Personally I wash all my rice 🍚. It gives a better texture. Also all rice contains arsenic and rice grown in America has the highest of any country. The washing is what really got me. But in a later video Uncle Roger reviewed there is a special type of fried rice made in China that adds water is a very slow way to evaporate it. It’s pretty interesting. And chili jam is a thing in the USA. Mostly in the southwest.

9:02 Who got the reference? Lol

Funny video, though in Europe most rice are already sold washed, you have rice you have to wash first but most not. Though I am not sure why olive oil comes in the play.

7:51 Thais also don't put ginger in Fried rice 🥲

Uncle Roger, you as Malaysian Chinese the food taste & cooking is different from western countries Chinese food taste & Thier style of cooking. Is a facts mah ..........Aiyah.........😅

This might be weird, but the majority of my relatives, friends, family don't even have soy sauce in the kitchen here in Europe. Actually I have never seen any of my family put soy sauce in any dish in my life.

wait. What? Who is eating sushi with a fork? nah. that's jail. even in the U.S.

Also in the U.S. the sauces are usually added on top of fried rice when it is served so person eating it can flavor to their taste and mix it together

"I just cannot stand olive oil on rice", my favorite dish is grilled fish and rice with garlic olive oil

Just use a pressure cooker or a rice cooker to cook your rice! Rice is literally the most easiest thing to make.

okay, I am an American but for the woman rice, I would decline her fried rice. what she made was to my guess was rice soup. the guy I would not eat his rice either tofu, premade rice and whatever that jam is never heard of it must be a California thing I am on the other coast and no one drains their rice. if the rice is that wet everyone I know would trash it and start again. you four seem to have a fun time keep it up.

As an American, I have never seen anyone eat Sushi with a fork. Never. Not sure where she saw that.

Uncle roger is good chef even he is not really often show how to cook😂

Both takes on fried rice and Uncle Roger. Get the feeling that Roger hung around around the Aunties too much and got hen pecked. The MSG was his rebellion as he aced the fried rice with it, "Good!" Then had to put more in and got beaten about the head by the Aunties too much. Good vidgio ladies!

Hope you girls will react to uncle Roger weejio more.

Peanut butter gado gado scars me, now all he has to do is add some jam

6:11 i was hoping to see the cute white girl’s reaction when Uncle Roger said “it’s just white people egg fried rice”…

msg just salt. its naturally in things like tomatoes

Oh, there's so much more to watch Uncle Roger rip on: Kay's rice, Jamie Oliver's "ramen", any of his Thai curries...

Thai style are really close is what roger mention.

22:09 18/05/2024 Sunday

Jamie Oliver x Uncle Roger(Nigel Ng) = sworn enemies

The Japanese always commenting that the fried rice is *wet* 😂

Hands… the original tools!

Come to Philippines even in soup we use hands🥱
