    I went to Gordon's pizza restaurant in London, which happens to be in the same building as his main restaurant. There's a connection between the two. I eat low carb, so I was going to have a tuna salad while my family ate pizza. They said they had no salad, so I was just okay with sitting there and eating somewhere else later, no problem. I'm used to eating in a different place because I do the low carb diet. But they didn't want me to eat anywhere else. They brought me the main restaurant menu and I got to choose a cod that was easily the best cod I've ever had. They even brought me the sauce that was made with wine saying "we made sure it's done with dry wine so you can eat". I've never had such a great experience anywhere else. They knew exactly what I could eat and they made sure I had a good experience despite my diet - after I said it was perfectly fine. In the end I ate a lot better than my family. I'm pretty sure my cod with wine sauce was way better than the pizza lmfao.

    Fun fact, Galangal used to be way more common in British cookbooks, but nowadays they stopped using it for some reason. For example, it's used in Arbolettys, which is a sort of cottage cheese and egg thing that varies between proto-quiche filling and scrambled eggs based on who interprets it

    I feel like Gordon Ramsey has it right on passing on and maintaining a good standard in his craft. He reacts based on reputation and age. If you’re young and it’s not a huge error he’s not aggressive at all, he’s never aggressive with the kids, he turns it into a teachable moment most of the time. But if you’re an adult and you make a mistake that you really shouldn’t be making at whatever level you say you’re at, he’ll rip you apart for it.

    I think the main problem is western chefs don't like to heat the pan/wok to high temperature.
    Typically chinese way to cook is first of all to heat the wok to around 150C, and then put oils to every part of the wok. After the oil is properly cover the wok, you should remove the "hot oil" and put another "cold oil" into the wok and then you can really start to cook. This step is simplified into "hot pan/wok and cold oil", this kind of method can prevent the food stick to your pan/wok.

    Malaysians are known to be veeery laidback but still manages to get food out of the kitchen extremely quickly and efficient.
    Like what you mentioned, Singapore and Malaysia have a tradition which is what we called as "Tzechar" which is something I can't directly translate (Because it would be "fried cooking" which definitely isn't the correct translation) but the jist of it is that its a place where they make up dishes and then serve you restaurant-style BUT these places CAN be in a restaurant, roadside stall or even a shop on it's own. It can even be served hawker-style which is more common in Singapore's kopitiam (Google it for yourself. I'm pretty bummed in translating local lingos).
    However, here's the catch. Even in Singapore, most of the chefs in these tzechar places ain't locals. Not because locals cannot cook but because they're not used to the pressure and with the Malaysians being very laidback, they can cook up a storm rather quickly and still joke around like it's nothing while delivering great food time and time again.
    Being a chef myself and having been working with Malaysians before, they're a treat to be with and watching their carefree attitude in the kitchen while everything seems to be a whirlwind, it's a real mood setter.

    I can tell you exactly where Gordon was for this. He was at the private residence of the king of Indonesia. He was there for a cooking "duel" with William Wongso. Gordon had just spent a week on a crash course in signature Indonesian cuisine and ingredients. The rendang he used? He made it himself the day before. And the reason he was so rushed? It was going to rain. In fact, it did rain during the duel and both he and Chef Wongso had to use spare woks as improvised umbrellas.
    I have been corrected on this.

    Hello, Chef Brian Tsao. Thank you for react this video. I'm from Indonesia, but in Java island (Indonesia had 17,000+ islands, hello!). Gordon Ramsay is in Sumatra Island which is waaaaayyy bigger than Java. By the way, rendang that he mentioned here is authentically from West Sumatra province (Indonesia had 35 provinces. Google it, if you want to). And the herbs that they use to make rendang paste is quite a lot (I don't know how many, but I'm pretty sure there's star anise in the seasoning). They cooked it for 3-4 hours until the santan (coconut milk) and the seasoning is absorbed to the meat, either with beef or chicken. The excess seasoning could use for other things, like fried rice. I know all of this from one of my friends. She's from West Sumatra, so she knows how to cook rendang though only some can cook rendang in the most delicious flavor. 😋 And I hope you could taste Nasi Padang (Padang is the capital of West Sumatra. And Nasi Padang is actually rice packed with quite a lot of proteins like rendang beef) in Indonesia which sometimes included with rendang. Trust me, they're delish 😋

      Fried rice is less stickier than white rice, so it's very hard to use chopstick on them.
      People usually use a spoon to eat fried rice, chopstick is using for white rice and noodles.

I’m a big Uncle Roger fan, and your commentary complements Nigel Ng’s comments and takes the whole video to another level. As a foodie and aspiring home chief, I’m learning a lot from you both. Please continue to make your commentary videos on Uncle Roger’s reaction videos. I hope one day you two can collaborate on a video. That would be awesome. Good luck with your new restaurant!

    The Maillard reaction, it's actually a chain of reactions, about 20, occurs between a reducing sugar and an amino group. Caramelization is a pyrolisis reaction and specifically refers to when sugars, and only sugars, are exposed to high temperatures. The reactions are not mutually exclusive, and neither is specific to meat. And to that point, maillard reaction is not just something for meat, and you should know that as a chef. It is a reaction that happens a LOT in cooking and is the primary contributor to flavor (and color) in roasted coffee and toasted bread, it's involved in caramelizing onions, baking pretzels, making chocolate and and gives certain flavors to beer, it's the thing that gives your Pho stock that brown color and a lot of wonderful aroma and flavor, what gives roasted potatoes and their incredible aroma, golden brown color and delicious flavor. Of course it's the primary reaction responsible for browning meat, but dismissing it as just that is just silly.
    As far as the wok hei goes, it is a flavor created in large part due to a combination of polymers and oil breaking down within the skillet, and from microscopic droplets of fat vaporizing as you toss food up and over the edge of a wok into the hot column of air created by the intense burner below, and the cascade of flavors coming from caramelization of sugars and various Maillard reactions. This is the flavor that is, in principle, not dissimilar from the distinct grilled burger flavor that is actually imparted by the smoke created by fat dripping on the hot coals. There is more to wok hei than just even searing at high heat is what I am saying.
    If you want to read more about Maillard reactions or burgers or the science of cooking in general a couple of books you should be familiar with: "On Food and Cooking" by Harold McGee and "Modernist Cuisine" by Nathan Myhrvold

    Man, when I was in my early 20s, I worked at a Thai restaurant for 3 years. I learned the fork/spoon thing from the line cooks. It’s beautifully efficient, and I still get looks from my friends when I do it… until they try it themselves.
    It’s always a good idea to listen to people of different backgrounds. They can teach you simple things like that, or change your world view.

      As a Malaysian living in Canada, it constantly baffles me as to why people here use forks to eat rice. It's SOOO inefficient and messy, the rice just falls off everywhere! Spoons can scoop up so much more rice, cleanly than a fork. Also, the best way to eat steamed rice is with chopsticks, lol.

    So true abt the spoon and fork 😂 my parents are chinese so I grew up using chopsticks too even when I live in SEA, and when I moved back to china and bring my chinese/korean/japanese friends to eat at an indonesian/malaysian restaurant for the first time they’d stare at me for a good minute and I’d ask them why are they staring. Then they’d say they don’t know how to eat with spoon and fork combo 🤣 it’s either only spoon, only fork, or spoon with chopsticks for them, so I literally had to teach then how to ‘push’ the rice with the fork into the spoon.

    Maillard reaction isn't just for meat, you were right at first. It's the term for the reaction between amino-acid and sugars at high temperature. For example, the crust off a loaf of bread or the crisp underside of a pot sticker is also Maillard reaction.

    About 15:30 the Rendang fried rice, and Chinese fried ruce that using soy sauce...
    Here in Indonesia we have both,
    In Java island (especially Jakarta), here is more similar to chinese fried rice
    Mainly using both sweet and salty soy sauce, and additional of oyster sauce or any else...
    While in my Granma house in Sumatra island (which gordon's place of recording, and rendang origin)
    They more similar to India's curry fried rice
    I had Rendang fried rice, Curry fried rice, Jengkol fried rice....
    All without soy sauce in it...
    But both chinese variation and rendang variation are exist in Sumatra...
    Gordon record rendang variation because its he cook Rendang too there for his show
    So he is using rendang sauce from it...
    Which is i can image will taste absolutely fantastic

    About the spoons and chopsticks, yeah. The foreign exchange students used spoons a lot, more so than forks. They used forks of course, but typically only for things like meat. Almost everything else was a spoon. They even cut their food using a spoon to stabilize and wedge the food apart as opposed to the western fork and knife technique.

    Regarding the outdoor kitchen, I live in New Jersey in the USA. It's super hot and humid in the summer, and I live in an old house without air conditioning. Even though I live in a city, I have an outdoor kitchen on my back porch, and I cook nothing inside from late spring to early autumn. It's nothing elaborate, just a 2-burner propane stove, a portable electric convection oven, two sizes of charcoal grills, and a sink fed by a garden hose, but it's a life saver in the warmer months. Even in colder months, I cook holiday meals outside because the heat in the windowless indoor galley kitchen is unbearable. I'm lucky to have the outdoor space to do it, but I can definitely understand why people who live in warmer climates have outdoor kitchens.

    Gordon is like that in the US because reason number 1 Hell's Kitchen is an US show so that is one, number 2 some of those people if not all of them have background with food so the stakes are high, because he is way different in Masterchef even the one if adults, those are more the common people, if they made mistakes are more understandable, but those are the main reason, the only show that the UK show is different from the US is Kitchen Nightmare and even in those he can get piss but a lot less.
