    I know this is an old video now i'm a new subscriber and i'm bingeing on your back catalogue of videos. This is a lovely looking dish very colourful with all the veg. And very quick and cheap to make basically leftovers and store cupboard ingredients. I'm no great cook but watching your videos these dishes are something i can achieve myself. Very informative and useful channel. And agreed "the man" has got no time for us ordinary little people. Sorry about the political bit.

    This reminds me of an old fav: steamed or boiled rice, fried egg (use stir-fry oil with ginger/garlic/sesame added on, it’s not expensive), crush a few crisps on it, drizzle soy sauce, or Korean-type sauce or the nearest thing you’ve got. People drizzled Worcester sauce and loved it, but to be fair, some people are weirder than others.

    That looks delicious, and unlike the take-away, doesn't suffer from the significant spoiling on the journey from the kitchen to your home.
    Tips for cooling rice:
    Get yourself a large tray and spread it thinly, alternatively uses several dinner plates, preferably as soon as it is cooked rather than the sludge left in the pan when you return to wash your dishes as this will result in a drier rice.
    As soon as it is suitably dry and cooled, get it into the fridge as soon as possible, this is for safety, as something (a fungus I think) will produce a toxin at room temperature, and this toxin, unlike many bacteria (ie salmonella), is not made safe by the re-cooking.
    I agree with you surrounding MSG - which by the way, should be added as you did before the final saltiness is adjusted, as not only does it elevate the savoury component, but reduces the amount of salt required to achieve the balance you are looking for. I suspect that much of the bad press comes from its overuse to make sub-standard ingredients (ie crap) taste acceptable, although, just like salt, there are different qualities - no prizes for guessing which one the highly processed foods (I use the term very loosely) use!
    With todays high fuel prices, I can see more of us turning to oriental cooking techniques which were developed to require the minimum amount of heat, because the wood they used for cooking was in such short supply.
    Although a little off topic, but with fuel saving in mind, perhaps a demonstration of how to steam food using the more affordable equipment. I was thinking along the lines of wooden oriental baskets for muti-layer cooking for those who don't already have a multi-layer steamer, or the cheap fan-like pan insert where veg can be added at different times, because with steam cooking there is usually negligible transference of flavours.
    And I managed to avoid mentioning black pudding - or did I?

      @@Adam_Garratt Most of us enjoy roast chicken, and can benefit from reduced cooking times by spatchcocking, jointing or buying pieces on offer and cooking them. You can add the breasts and thighs at different times to prevent the overcook/undercooked conundrum and fill the oven to have leftovers which can be used in dishes like this stir-fry, or quickly heated through (far less energy than when cooking from raw) to eat another day.

A scientist called Kikunae Ikeda managed to isolate it, and so msg was born. It just adds a bit of a savoury boost to savoury dishes. It doesn't work with sweet things though. And use sparingly, if you use too much it can make the food not taste so good. Use a little less than you would put in salt I'd say.

      Basmati rice is your friend. Its a really easy rice to cook. Get a mug, fill with rice and add to a pan, then in the same mug fill 1 and 1/2 cups of cold water. Add salt, bring to the boil the place a lid on top and simmer for about 10 to 12 mins until you see the water has evaporated and little holes form on top of the rice. Turn off heat, leave for a few mins then fluff with a fork. Perfect every time mate

      @@Adam_Garratt I do something similar, (I saw twice the water to rice, 10 minutes cooking 5 minutes cooling on TV once) but as the water required is affected by the pan you use, the amount of rice you cook, and how low you can get the heat, through trial and error I have reduced to 1 to 1 3/4 from the 1 to 2 they suggested.
      Although, after seeing someone on the internet using a similar method, I now cook white rice for the full 12 minutes of the range you suggested (brown for 30, but with a little extra water to account for the inevitable extra evaporation from the longer cooking time) with 6 minutes off the heat - in my case, those extra 3 minutes have made the world of difference.
      P.S. Once the heat has been turned down to low and the timing starts, do not be tempted to remove the lid until you are ready to fluff it up for serving. If you really need to see what is going on, use a glass lid!

      You can get away with not blind baking it, but you do run the risk of the pastry becoming soggy, and if the filling is too wet it might bleed out the bottom. And for something like that I'd bake for about 30-40 mins on gas mark 5. X

    Great way to re cook chicken leftovers. MSG myths or no myths can't stand the clawing sweet kids crowd pleasing effect of the stuff. Also it leaves me with pseudo heart attack (known as Chinese Restaurant syndrome) a known reason it is not advised to be given to babies or old people! If food has good enough quality in its own right it doesn't need flavour enhancers. Anyhow smug though this sounds I'm not smug just careful not to eat stuff that's not necessary. Pre-steamed Basmati really speeds up this process and so it's a great low budget meal. Thanks for sharing the ideas.

      Msg is monosodium glutamate. It's a naturally occurring enzyme found in certain foods such as parmesan and tomatoes. A scientist called Kikunae Ikeda found a way to isolate it and so msg was born. It gives savoury dishes a umami savoury boost. Just use sparingly like you would salt, as if you add too much it can make the food taste bad, just like if you over salt.

      I try not to because I respect people's different opinions. But when I see my people having basic needs not being met, I take issue with that regardless of anyones views. Take care mate

    You could just make it egg fried rice that would be even cheaper. And what is it with you Brits and peas in fried rice dishes? Get your mind out the gutter and come down the sewer with Adam. And stop making Mr Moggs play fancy dress-up.
