I am always amazed at how many people he has on crew. Like I have no idea how many people it takes to make production of this quality, and I know he needs all of them, but I'm just surprised at how many people are involved
You could do his normal episodes solo if he could stand still for more than 0.02 seconds. (Not saying they'd be quite as perfect, or that it wouldn't be torture to do it, but it can be done.)
I initially thought the same, but it’s basically a TV show (and a business), creators on YT tend to do more with less and still end up producing better content than most big budget TV.
@@chrisseal1467 If you look around long enough, you'll find creators who are doing virtual identical quality and are doing it totally solo. That's just the power of modern video tools.
i love seeing the crew eating together at the end of these videos. theyre out here working hard behind the scenes to bring us this content, and its nice seeing them get to enjoy the quality food that josh makes
As much as I love the concept of these But Faster episodes as well - I don't have them knife skills and so it would take me at least 3 times as long to make this as it took Papa... but even then; home cooking is the business so I'm fully behind it!
Work on your knife skills, learn how to pinch gripnthe knife, proper guide hand techniques.. learn the motion and just go buy a bunch of celery and practice. I watch tons of youtube videos when starting out, by the time i did go to culinary school I had decent knife skills.. im not as fast as Josh but learning how to cut certain things and proper techniques is paramount. After a while it's just second nature when you cook a lot.
Even though I was rooting for Josh by default, there was a part of me that wanted the takeout to win. He just wanted it so bad! That boy was filled with purpose.
@@cayneho it's his fried rice recipe from the "but better" series when he makes Uncle Rogers fried rice. It is also mentioned in this video the recipe is on the website. Same recipe.. but faster!
Love the Ulises segments and the editing. A top-notch team on this channel!! I also love how the whole team gets free lunch, dinner or breakfast anytime Joshua does a video hahaha.
I don't agree about the edditing for this specif video. Edditing to create the illusion og being in hurry makes for me the video almost unwatchable (but loving the videos in generak)
I kinda wanna see a series where you cook recipes that are commonly perceived as being difficult, but in an easier way... you could call it "But Easier" :D You could also do it with kitchen style lifehacks :D
You know you've been watching too much Uncle Roger when the moment the shallot hit the chopping board, instantly in your head you hear "regular onion is for po' people!" 😅
I was looking for a fried rice recipe for tonight’s dinner and stumbled across this video. This was so hysterically entertaining that I had to watch it again and seriously pay attention to the recipe, lol. 😂😂😂😂
For “But Faster” episodes you should make someone from your crew cook while you guide em throughout the recipe, because you are too good and always win!! (at least in the episodes I’ve seen so far).
@@jamesackerman723 Yea the premise is a little flawed. When you order out you can do other stuff while waiting. And you don't have a pile of dirty dishes.
another point to mention is Takeaways are mostly packed in these weird trays to keep it warm or some along those lines but it also makes watervapors condense on the inside ... so your rice will most likely go mushy
Best fed crew on UA-cam! 😂 the rice looks awesome, and made me feel hungry just watching. Proves you can have quick homemade versions of take out that are much better.
Used to work at a hibachi steakhouse, was one of the hibachi chefs. I miss just being able to cook up some fried rice in 2 minutes, maaaannnn. I ate it every day for like 2 years and never got tired of it.
i love the josh is making fun of those of us who complained about him having his ingredients prepared ahead of time in previous videos... LOVE YOU PAPA
Josh is using an Instant Pot to cook his rice?! That's what I do too! I'd love to know how he uses it because I vaguely remember him saying that pressure cooking is the devil for cooking rice (I might be paraphrasing here) but that's what I do, cook the rice in the IP for 3 min on high pressure then let it naturally release the steam for 18 mins and it's perfectly cooked rice!
Part of the issue with cooking at home is the time it takes to wash dishes. If you threw dish cleaning into the But Faster series, it could really take things up a notch.
and not everyone has a gas stove with a high quality non stick wok. Those scrambled eggs wouldve taken me forever to scrub off the pan. Anything seared and taken out requires a pan cleaning before another food can go in because of the food sticking
Josh, have you ever tried the bamboo steamer method of cooking rice? Probably takes about the same time as pressure cooker and definitely comes out better, and you’re able to look at it and control the cooking process way better than locking it in a pressure cooker. Here’s how to do it: 1. Line bamboo steamer with cheesecloth (this is just so the rice doesn’t fall through the holes) 2. Place your washed rice in boiling water for 3 minutes 3. Transfer rice to steamer and place over boiling water and steam for about 20 minutes You’ll have fluffy but sticky rice that is absolutely perfect for fried rice! Not too wet, not too dry. uncle roger approved👌🏻
I like to watch them eating the whole meal Joshua makes, because I'm always a bit concerned about how big portions he does when they're only two on the house and he records a lot of videos every week
wut all of these ingredients r pretty easy to find. The "hardest" maybe being the thai sweet soy sauce but this recipe is very easy. It may seem like a lot because it's combo fried rice but u could make it a lot simpler by reducing it to one protein + the egg.
Chicken, beef, shrimp, soy sauce, white pepper, green onion, garlic, white rice, chilli, msg. Idk where you live my man but I think these are common ingredients. (Except for the soy sauce and white pepper, gotta find them in asian markets.) You could sub in any of the meat for anything u like
Average Mexican Joe here, just tried making this recipe and damn it's so good!!! Idk if I put too much ginger, but a absolutely love the gingery flavor!
It's crazy how many subs you gained since i started watching you which really isn't even that long ago. You definitely deserve it tho, your videos are amazing and I've already cooked a bunch of them with the help of your recipes. Keep it going!
A way to make fryable rice, is pre-fry the rice kernels in oil in your pot until nice and toasty and opaque, then cook as usual and it comes out nice and separate and perfect for frying.
Hey Joshua! fantastic video as always! I love fried rice and I've been dying to crack the secret to teppanyaki-style japanese fried rice, specifically the exact flavor. It's been difficult and I've tried many different combinations, I was hoping you could eventually do a "But Better" on Benihana's or any similar restaurant's fried rice. I will definitely be making this one in the future though! Amazing job as always!
Rachel Ray was a bit more honest with her 30 minute meals. She opened meat packages, jars, pulled things from the fridge, etc. None of this sitting in the clear tiny bowl ready for use nonsense.
I'm from New York, so this is the longest I've ever seen fried rice take to get delivered/brought home. I lived across the street from a Chinese restaurant and it took them like less then 10 minutes to get my order to me. But Josh's still looks better.
Did someone in this video say 'lebron'.. im out.. so sad.. i was really getting into it.. good luck on a fried rice delivery that is based on 'lebron' .. imagine if its a defensive fried rice.. it will never arrive.. just sit around half court and look for a pass.. so it can signature dunk on someone at the other end...coz it's too worn out to run anymore...oopss... this is a JOSH video.. and he is awesome.. never stops running.. goddam luv seeing how versatile fried rice is and how friggin amazing it can be.. cheers Josh and team!!! pls dont mention LeBron again.. .. .. two more dots.. again.
Have you try pachicay for fried rice? Pachicay is used in peruvian chaufas to add in to the rice. Normaly is chopped onion, ginger, garlic, hot peppers if you like, salt, sugar, and hot smoky oil.
You're the best. You've reignited my passion for cooking. I've never seen cooking videos with so much humor and education in such a brief amount of time. I could cry. In fact, I will. Right now.
I was watching this with a friend who doesn't have a UA-cam or Google account and they suggested having a timer that jumps to whatever time Weissman is at in the various cuts in episodes like this one. Since they have no way to post in the comment section I've done this on their behalf.
2:50 YEAH THAT's Exactly what it is. The time of a recepy is not as important as the effort it takes to make. I would gladly spend one hour cooking pasta and a sauce that I barely have to supervise, rather than spending ten minutes in TURBO mode cooking 3 things in parallel and using like 15 different instruments I am gonna have to clean later
Eventually Joshua will harness, within his channel, all 4 elements of "Harder, better, faster, stronger."
true lol 😂😂😂😂
You forgot "Cheaper" 🤣
That's something you put on your tinder page
Cheaper
Nice daft punk reference
I am always amazed at how many people he has on crew. Like I have no idea how many people it takes to make production of this quality, and I know he needs all of them, but I'm just surprised at how many people are involved

You could do his normal episodes solo if he could stand still for more than 0.02 seconds. (Not saying they'd be quite as perfect, or that it wouldn't be torture to do it, but it can be done.)

Correct, correct.
and when he uses the colander you go "nononono" and drop your leg
I could half-hear him say: Put half of spring onion first? It will wilt. Spring onion is garnish. Hayaaaa.
So now Josh is going for the “Fast Uncle” title?
And of course his approval of the MSG 😁

Big difference, between takeout and the josh food, definitely I pick Josh food 👍🏼👏🏼🤟🏼
I'm happy to see the crew serving themselves in the end 😄
I enjoyed the cutaways to the takeout guy. His attitude went from: easy-peasey to a mild panic, back to chilling then panicking again.
I love these outros in which the whole team is just vibing and enjoying the food 💖
The speedrun ver.
I like it, thnks Uncle Joshua 😁✌️
Wow he grew so fast into 6.7 M subscribers?? No wonder he has a crew now!!
For “But Faster” episodes you should make someone from your crew cook while you guide em throughout the recipe, because you are too good and always win!! (at least in the episodes I’ve seen so far).

@@keldsbases Sure, but you don't need shrimp. I just use whatever leftover proteins I have in the fridge.

Part of the issue with cooking at home is the time it takes to wash dishes. If you threw dish cleaning into the But Faster series, it could really take things up a notch.
You also have to buy the ingredients before you can even make it

love this series! watching joshua cooking fast is amazing
i love that joshua ALWAYS cooks a crap ton so his crew gets plenty too
This is rapidly approaching the but better, but faster, but cheaper episode and I can’t wait
We call that special fried rice it’s incredible 😋. Nice touch with the enough pieces of meat per person by the way very thoughtful 🤗
fried rice is probably top 5 foods
Ajajjajajaja!!!! The end with the guy coming so excited to find Joshua with the dish done it's fantastic 🤣 and the whole crew eating also 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bet Unclie Joshua has never seen a street chef cooking fried rice in Asia, their tossing skill, their speed is insane
These are funny but I think Brian Lagerstrom’s “weeknighting” series is what everyone wanted when they were asking for “but faster”
