This video not bad! He actually got rice cooker and it’s the same brand as uncle roger’s!
Not enough garlic, fried the onions, no finger measurement for water. This video is practically begging for a reaction video.
Meanwhile street vendors in Indonesia: “bUT even cheaper”
Lol in our country you could buy a lot of things with just 1 dollar. Including a fried rice
"Maybe you don't have a pot."

Asian: have rice cooker, but no oven
Western: have oven, but no rice cooker
Joshua: have both and use both to cook rice
josh: baking rice is a last resort
babish: *sweats nervously*
I was EXTREMELY dubious at first but my wife's best rice side dish is make in the oven!
uncle roger: what’s this video showed in my suggestions?
3 mins later...
uncle roger: who cuts eggs on a cutting board?
I mean seriously tho, who does that hahaha. i'd just make a big space in the middle of the pan where I cooked the rice, let it fry in there a bit, then mix the rice in.
I'm super new to this channel, but right off the bat I love the "here's the cost if you have the stuff, here's the cost if you don't." That's a huge differentiator!
I made this tonight (first time). It was really easy to make, and seems to be a good base recipe you can play around with. It was too sweet for me, so, next time, I'll take away a 1/2 tbsp of sugar, and add some sriracha sauce. I'm really surprised how straight forward this is to make. I would say even a 12 year old (who has a little experience cutting vegetables/cooking with a pan) could make this.
Edit: I made it again tonight. I forgot to reduce the sugar, but I did add an extra 2 inches of ginger, some squirts of sriracha sauce, and only used three cups of leftover, cooked rice. I also added some powdered garlic instead of grating it fresh. It came out better than restaurant-quality! I think fresh garlic would've been better, for obvious reasons, but tonight's was really good regardless.
i use minced garlic for everything. i agree too much sugar. this is also by far his easiest, everything else he makes take 2+ hours
Awesome! I’m happy for you. ☺️Fried rice is one of my favorite dishes to make, I mean, come on, you can throw in WHATEVER YOU WANT! 🙌
I’m a 13 yr old and this was really easy to make probably easiest thing I made besides scrambled eggs 😼
I made it and it’s too sweet, god I’ll never cook fried rice properly. It looks like shit :(
Joshua: "You wanna know what else is cheap and full of rice?"
Me: *sweats nervously*
Josh: “only use this method if you don’t have a pot”
Also Josh: *boils water in a pot*
@@-afrodite sure but at least it could be done. Some places don't have stoves but have ovens. So you gotta make do when you living on that cheap cheap
Perfect for those complaining to get a quick and easy recipe with no compromise on taste. It was delicious! Thanks!
This man cooks like the most mature man ever but when he talks he's just a boy
I think that's what I like about him. Doesn't take himself too seriously. Also...he's 20 something so...not far off.
He's just about 10 months older than me, actually. Both of us were born in the same year.
Western people: make fried rice
Uncle Roger: it’s free real estate
There's ton of western people acting like they know everything about egg fried rice once they watch one single Uncle roger video
Fried rice is the most forgiving vehicle for leftovers! I'd love to see you do some videos specifically on how to use leftovers. Not enough people have that skill.
This recipe instantly became one of my most favorite of all time. It tastes amazing, is incredibly cheap and you can even make it in bulk, without much extra effort! The last view weeks, I made this at least 10 times.
"The second method is considered a mortal sin by many people which is rice in a pot"
I always knew hell was waiting for me but I never imagined rice to be the reason
Rich Amu I don’t even get it - why would anyone be against this method? It works beautifully. And one less appliance in my small kitchen.
@@jvallas a lot of asians judge people who make rice without a rice cooker, because indeed it is the easiest and most convenient way to cook rice. The problem is, unless you're making rice every other day, it doesn't justify spending the money and space in your kitchen.
Because rice is a big deal in Asian people diet and having a rice cooker is kinda obligatory cause it cooks rice perfectly every time that we couldn't even fathom why anyone would use any other methods. Heck, i didn't even have any other cooking appliances other than rice cooker in my room
Rice in a pot is the way to go! ! My personal favourite foolproof recipe would be:
-wash your rice AT LEAST 3 times (the more the better), sometimes I even let it soak for 30 minutes or so
-put a one to one ratio of rice and water in your pot and put it on the stove on a high temperature and give it a stir
-when it starts to boil on the sides and the rice there starts to dance turn the heat down to the lowest, put a cloth on top of the pot and the on top of that put the lid (fold the cloth on the lid so that it doesn't burn)
-cook it without ever opening the lid for 10 min that's it not more not less (unless you make a great amount of rice, you then cook it for 12 min)
-once it s done take your pot of the heat and let it sit another 10-15 minutes! And tada! You got yourself some perfect non-rice cooker rice!
"you use FINGER, FINGER to measure water"
Uncle roger-2020
Yeahh.. I agree.. but somehow when I my parents buy the rice cooker with Zojirushi brand, the salesperson said to not measure it with finger so yeah.. idk
The seasoning is spot on. I am munching on my second bowl right now.
“If you live alone and youre single and maybe sad” ... he just described my entire life i-
yeah i also mentally told him to stfu immediately after saying that lmao

Well, here goes nothing...
@@alaranarmstrong3718 you could also use a glass or ceramic dish to boil the water
Ever since I started watching you, I also started rinsing my rice. Best thing ever!!!!! Thank you 🥺💖
"Second method is considered a mortal sin by many people!"
Literally the only way people prepare rice here in Brazil
At this point it's just mussel memory. Oil, minced garlic, fry until golden, throw in rice, blast it, and then cover with um dedinho de water, and done. Pronto meu filho, vai fazer o resto da comida ou re-esquentar o feijão.
I came here immediately after watching Uncle Roger roast Jaime Oliver's egg fried rice
Since watching this video for the first time, I have made this fried rice twice! So delicious! I used Calrose sushi rice, and it had turned out amazingly well. After making it the first time, my family kept asking me to make it again. It has been the best fried rice I have ever made! Great video!
I’ve made this three times now and it’s definitely turning into a favorite! Thank you for the great tutorial 💜
Please make “Nutella, but Better” 🙏🏻
try the channel "my name is andong" he did a homemade Nutella Video not long ago.
"dont have a pot"
"uses pot to boil the WATER"
@@brandon17760 Obviously... but it was a bit funny how the "if you don't have a pot" solution's 3rd step was like: "Grab a pot!"
@@brandon17760 Ngl if you dont have a pot but have a microwave that's quite a flex
Well you could use a kettle (if you have one). Lol in Britain it's normal for everyone to have a kettle and most people don't have microwaves.
@@saige6442 I do not know a single person in the UK who doesn't have a microwave, maybe my grandparents but that's about it
0:52 my broke ass actually thought the ingredients were $1
I appreciate how he shows you multiple ways to do things and actually DOES THEN HIMSELF too
Little does he know, that in traditional fried rice, there are no measurements for anything. You just listen to the spirits of your ancestors.
My ancestors need to respect my wallet more, they keep asking me to add pork
and no buying! You gotta use what's in your kitchen. Sacred ingredients for traditional fried rice are always found in the kitchen. One does not need to buy more for the sake of making fried rice.
"You dont have a pot but maybe you have a baking dish"
Immediately uses Pot to boil Water to cover the rice
@Sassy Chocolate milk well yes except you can see in the video he pours it from a pot
Been making something like this for sometime now but could never get that restaurant feel. Changed out how I cook things a bit and made sure to crisp up the rice before adding the sauce like you did. It's beautiful man. Thanks for your recipes and your energy.
Started living on my own, made this recipe and you were right, it did make me happy.
Joshua: "If you live alone and your single and may be sad"

Joshua Weissman: makes a fried rice tutorial
Uncle Rodger: this is my comment section now
"Cooking rice in a pot is a mortal sin"
90% of South Asians: Hm.
Edit: 90% of Earth's population
Yeah, like bro, that's how our ancestors did it, and it turned out amazing when you mixed it with some Dal. Wait until they find out how we make Khichdi!
Yeah i didn't understand either. In a pot is THE standard procedure around the entire world. A rice cooker is just a convenience bonus. Although i don't know how a standard pot isn't already convenient enough.
As a Vietnamese (south Asian), I don't know any Vietnamese household that doesn't have a rice cooker.
In Thailand and Laos almost every household has a rice cooker too. And we lived in a very rural area
Just made this today, and it came out amazing. Josh, thank you for this simple yet tasty recipe!

honestly!! it's so damn easy to make and we don't have space for an extra equipment and that too just for rice
"Disgusting mushy peas" -the United Kingdom has entered the chat
Mushy peas are unreal fish, chips, mushy peas and curry sauce over fried rice any day of the week
2:07 is a brilliant work of editing. The way the lid covers up the overlay of the demons is so clever!
It was one of the best egg fried rice I had, and I was living in Asia for quite a while. Thank you
I like that his servings are actually normal/bigger. The stuff you get at “fancy” places feels like it’s only enough for a toddler
Really? I work at a sushi restaurant and our fried rice portion is massive . It’s a huge dinner plate fill to the brim with fried rice. So I guess I’m lucky our portions are so huge because I love fried rice
Josh! You made me a food hero to my kids! They love the rice and a lot of other foods that I made from watching your channel. Keep it coming brother!!!
Thank you, Josh! I was able to make myself this wonderful recipe with the left over rice that I had. I didn't have fresh ginger but I had powder. I used a tsp. and it was great!
Why cook the egg separately? Just make a little well in the rice in the middle of the pan, pour in the egg, and cook as normal. Mix some rice in as you're cooking to get some nice sticky clumps.
superbott i mix the cold rice with egg yolks instead, the rice becomes hella rich and tastes like heaven, but the well thing is nice too
That's gross. If you want sticky clumped rice then go make Korean style fried rice. This is not that. This is chinese/japanese.
Paulo Garcia as someone who is ethnically Chinese and and lives in asia I completely agree
Bruh Bruh this is actually a different type of fried rice that I don’t think he’s going for
All Asians: “Where is your wok, you can’t do fried rice without wok!”
Asian in me is like, where’s the wok? Wait you’re cooking the egg separately? There’s vinegar? 😰 Woaahh you didn’t start with garlic😱 but I bet this is still dammmmn delicious 😋
@@Vince-A-N-O If you juave a gas stove there's no reason you shouldn't have a wok.
Your tutos never disappoint, Joshua. I litterally just made it and I am a very very very very happy woman right now
I made this recipe last night with leftover rice from takeout food and it was amazing! Much better than the fried rice in most restaurants and since I used all leftovers it cost me $0 instead of the $7 they sell it for! 10/10 would recommend
„no msg, why he doing no msg, msg good“ - uncle roger, someday in the future

Uncle Rodger : imma end this man's whole career
Dude. I just found you the other day and you are massively fun to watch. Well done!
Best recipe I have ever seen. It used ingredients that I could actually pronounce. Plus, I had all but one ingredient (carrots because I just made a veg broth). Great Job!
Joshua cooks fried rice.. Sweats nervously
*Uncle Roger: So you have chosen death*
"The next method is considered a mortal sin by many people... which is rice in a pot" My asian mom says no while aggressively scooping out rice from a pot.
I really appreciate this series.
"if you dont have a pot but a baking sheet..." 5 seconds later: **boils water in pot** >.>
Uncle roger sees this: OH my god, don’t use duh measuring cup, use your finga
I am Asian and I forgive our boi, because he used the rice cooker
I really like this series. It shows how you can make a cheap meal, but it ALSO shows how cheap it is to make meals from fresh.
Love the energy that you bring man.
This is great, I added 3 diced strips of streaky bacon just after the carrots, and added 1.5 tsp of MSG to the soy sauce mixture and it was great! I also added the green onion at the end and did the eggs in the wok with the rice.
I own that rice cooker, and let me tell you the ringtone is a BOP
My friend has that cooker and the music is nice but it takes too long to make rice. 1 hr for white rice or 40 on quick mode??? My rice cooker takes 20-30 min
I own one as well but most indian ones just make rice no bop and they have a option of keeping it warm and not overcooked as well
"Where is your wok? You are losing Wok Hay!"
-Uncle Roger
Wok Hey only works if you have extremely high heat with large flames that is able to heat the sides of the wok.
The key to good fried rice is being able to evenly cook all the rice. Since most house kitchen can only produce small flames a pan is better. But now you have to cook with less amount of ingredients.
Coming back to this video just to make it for the 3rd time 😍 It tastes better every time because my techniques are getting better! Thanks for making this video! 🙂
i double up on the sauce it comes out amazing. I feel like the mixture doesn't coast 4 cups of rice well enough. Thank you for this amazing recipe!!!
I love food that is delicious but also inexpensive! Great video!
Love your recipes and vids! Thx
A white man who washes his rice before cooking is a white man i can trust
@林 a surprising amount of people don't even know you're supposed to wash rice
It kinda hurts me on the inside :'D
@@lieutenantpepper2734 Aunty Hersha do wash rice personally but bbc recipe do not include the step, so she didn't do it in the video just to keep the steps as they are provided.
This looks delicious! ! I’m gonna make this using my cauliflower rice 😁 thanks for the easy recipe!
Most entertaining cooking tutorial I've ever seen hahah I loved it
Oh fried rice, in Vietnam, you don't need much, just throw everything and we could have a 50 cent fried rice.
I made this and I loved the taste! It is definitely worth a try. I did put less sugar in the soy sauce mix(around 1/2Tbsp) and didn't put the ginger cus I had none and also I cooked some sausages a bit before adding the eggs with it. 10/10 and will cook again
I just made this and its delicious and easy!! I had everything and added mushrooms!
Everyone's complaining about the rice, but can we talk about how he didn't scramble the eggs into small chunks but instead freaking cut an omelette into cubes??
This! I was like when is he going to scramble it? Then he threw it into a cutting board 😂
1:25 My asian friends: "That's not good enough"
Me: "....until it's clear"
My asian friends: "Y---"
My asian friends' parents: "No! Do it three more times after that"
I never wash my rice, I just use it right away. I don't see the need for it.
@@alaaelhayek2594 Washing rice is just to get rid of some of the starch and whatnot and therefore make it less "sticky."
@@xSh4dowXSnip3rx yes. So I'm watching this like why did he use a sushi rice (which is supposed to be extra sticky) if he's just gonna wash it haha

Correct me and you get Corona he didn’t put enough MSG on Aunty Helen apparently.

Joshua: If you don’t have a pot, use a baking tray.
Joshua again: proceeds to boiling the water by using a pot😂😂😂
Loophole! such a careless move 😂 but we gotta give him credit an E for effort.
I keep coming back to this video lol, i love this recipe it's so good
this is the first time i'm cooking in my 17 years of existence and this is the recipe i'm using. I'm trusting you, Joshua
Rice on a cookie sheet, chopping scrambled eggs on a cutting board.
Me: "Mommy, what is he doing?"
Mom: "josh is cooking honey, don't ask questions."
I like this channel because you cook the food sort of plain in a way BUT, also providing the method in a clear enough way where anyone can follow the recipie and add their own flavors at the right time.
omg it looks soooooo delicious, i wanna try it but im such a noob at the kitchen so nope, but still love you
Thank you for the Amazing video, I just tried the recipe, even though some ingredients were missing, the end result was AMAZING!
For "But cheaper" could you do a episode on stew? That's always been a favorite cheap dish for me that normally is good for bigger families.

OMG this was soo good :00 the sauce was just amazing >< it was amazing
Josh: 2:08
Asians: well no, unless you completely mess up preparing the rice like that BBC woman did
the one that drained the rice after it was cooked? i dont wanna remember her 😳
AWESOME as always. Love "but cheaper" when cooking for my family of five! Keep doing what you're doing Mr. Weissman 💪🏾🏆🍚🥡
Look forward to your next video 📹 😀
Munching on my second bowl: the seasoning is spot on, great recipe.
This is so good. It’s our go to now- better than take out bc it has so much flavor. It’s how you want the take out to taste yet they under season to save money I assume. So easy and delicious. Also- I use long grain white rice ( uncle bens) if you make it the day before it’s preferable- but I have made the rice- stick it in the fridge around lunch time and then use it for this recipe at dinner and it works great.
I think you guys are ignoring the fact that I condemned every other method of cooking rice that ISN'T in my Zojirushi rice cooker. But because this is but cheaper I gave other options because you ALWAYS complain about expensive equipment. IF I didn't give those other options then the top comments would be "OMIGOSH JOSH REEEEEE THIS IS BUT CHEAPER BUT YOU SPEND 100 DOLLARS ON A RICE COOKER???"
REEEEEEEEEE
nice.
OMIGOSH JOSH YOU"RE SO CONSIDERATE!! REEE (Thank you its really lovely when you include cheaper methods, it makes me more confident to try it)
What's going on? Pot rice and baked rice are awesomeness, it's agreed and it has been written.
We're gonna reeeee no matter how considerate you are. Everyone, in one breath: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
