MSG is no more unhealthy than salt. It's not great, but it's also not dangerous in normal amounts. Msg will literally make any food taste better, it's like salt 2.
Yep. I agree, growing up poor, we use MSG to make our food taste better. I'm just curious if its what started its mass production though. Is it poverty? I know its possible especially because its widely used in Asia.
Nigel Ng aka Uncle Roger is a stand-up comedian based in the UK. He’s Malaysian. You may want to check his other videos. Here in the Philippines 🇵🇭, we wash our rice 3-4 times until the starch is gone or the water becomes clear. Then, we cook it.
I was married to a Korean woman for 13 years. When we first started to date I did the "Uncle Ben's" packet rice one day when I was making her dinner for the first time. She looked at me like I had an extra arm growing out of my forehead. She had never seen that before. Fast forward years later either using a rice cooker, or on the stove she would always ask me to make the rice. I always washed it more than she would and use the appropriate amount of water. Never drained rice in my life. That's just wrong.
@@rev.paull.vasquez4001 ... It was especially after Uncle Roger told the lady “YOU F**KED UP!!” where she cracked up & barely held it together after that .... BUT WHO CAN BLAME HER??? 😂😂😂
Msg is healthy and fine, as long as u use it in moderation and understand how much needed to use it, so unless u have certain allergies, msg is perfectly fine
Oddly in the UK (where I'm from) if you buy a packet of rice from a supermarket and look at the instructions on the back of the packet she did what we're told to do for years my family cooked rice this way. thankfully now we have a rice cooker.
Loool !! Never heard of him before, that was epic !! I'll check out his content, that was a good laugh 😂🤣🤣 And yes, washing the rice before of course lol, every step she took with that rice was wrooooong !! But the result seemed pretty pretty good to be honest lool !!! Great vid guys !! 👌👌👌
Probably fake. A lot of cooking shows have the dish pre-prepared at different levels of done-ness so that they can give you the recipe without making you wait on boiling water and whatnot. Chances are the rice she used in the recipe came out of an actual rice cooker off screen and the soggy mushy half cooked rice she made went into the trash. If you tried to copy that recipe, it would not turn out the same.
5:14 stove top rice can work. But if your rice looks like this it is undercooked and disgusting. After the saucepan method I had used for year I inherited a rice cooker. So much better.
What I have learned most people wash rice to get rid of starch before cooking but there are places they dont. There are also who do strain rice to wash it but not to drain water from it. Most of us use leftover rice in cooking fried rice. But according to Hersha, she follow the recipe that was given to her by BBC. She is a sweet lady when she & Uncle Roger met.
everyone wash the rice before cooking it...doesnt matter where you come from,but people from middle east and north african countries actually drain the rice before eating it and mixing it with some sort of stew or some sauce,yes it destroy some of the nutrients but its just like that here and it taste pretty good to.
Personally, I don't like peas in my stir fried rice. My wife is Filipina, and cooks a great stir fried rice (learned thru experience), but I asked her, years ago, NOT to add peas. And we only use Thai Jasmine rice. Of course, some other rice is ok, but I like Thai Jasmine very much (When military/retired/I was in Thailand numerous times). LOVE their food, and the spicy version! No respectable Asian is going to use a colander, nor will they run cold water over the rice! It's ugly to even see!
06:25 "You guys cook rice like that?" Hell no! If I did that shit in my house, my parents'll beat the shit outta me. How much more if I use metal on non-stick. For the record, I live in a Filipino household in Hawaii. Born and raised.
If you’d like to see Uncle Roger “take it up a notch or 2”, check out his reactions to Gordon Ramsay & Jamie Oliver.... They are HYSTERICAL 😂😂😂 He “tears them to pieces” in hilarious fashion 😂😂😂. Best of luck to the both of you for your move & best wishes always from 🇦🇺Australia🇦🇺 ✌️😎
I always use jasmine rice for fried rice. 1 cup of rice to 1½ cup of water. Bring to a boil and then cover/simmer for 15 minutes. Perfect jasmine rice every time. Rice is always washed before cooking. There is no point after.
Plus remember the finger trick of measuring water cause usually I put my pointy finger to the bowl of the rice cooker while the rice in it and see if the water reached my finger's outer line as it is quite an accurate technique that is used.
I'm Chinese from South Africa,so I'm not brought up in a traditional Chinese home,but even we know that's not the way to make rice....Epic Failure😆😆😆....by the way I love watching Albert and Cynthia👍👍👍
The whole "MSG is unhealthy" has been started as a joke in a medical journal in the reader letters section decades ago... back then it was originally called the "chinese restaurant syndrom"
In Belarus, Russia and Ukraine we wash the rice a few times until water is clear before cooking. But I once saw how my friend's ex-boyfriend did it same way as that lady from the video and I was terrified.😆😆😆
11:18m saudi time and done watching this video 😍😍😍 stay safe and good night 😘😘😘 My employer use the Indian rice,he drain the water from the rice but he doesn't wash
Redrain and washing your rice that is almost cook is actually reducing the nutrition. If you want to reduce starch, you wash the rice with good amount of water 3 to 4 times. And always measure your rice with finger
In europe yes tbey do it that way at first I was shocked but now im used to it. 🤣 even steam veggies when its too hot they wash it in thr water to cool it 🤣
He is a Comedian but he does research on food on different countries so it work out the right way not like Jamie Oliver , he didn’t do any research in different culture that the dish he cooked in and eaten out nasty Oh yucky it taste bad
In your daily ingredient people consume MSG (monosodium glutamate) because it is part of it, not really unhealthy, only if its too much like everything you eat that is too much is bad for you.
MSG is not unhealthy if used correctly. putting a ton of msg in your food would make it salty, but using in moderation is not detrimental to your health.
MSG is NOT unhealthy. You can never talk about toxicity without talking about the amount you take in a time unit. Asian people eat MSG almost everyday and we don't have a shorter average life span because of that. If you take a whole package of MSG each day of course it is harmful. But will you do that?
Is he a cook? Not professionally. Just a home cook. Mostly a comedian who is ticked at people messing up Asian culture in an age where you can see how stuff is really made by looking it up here on UA-cam, so Nigel Ng created this character to make that point.
I like to measure rice & water more accurately than with just a finger, but I just don't get that recipe she used... if she takes the effort to measure the water, then why did she end up with excess water after cooking? That means she must have deliberately measured out *too much* water... in that case the finger method is objectively better...
@@frisc0pn0ib0i Excuse me. Y are u mad? Are u ok? Next time, u can choose better words to enlighten people. It doesn't hurt to say things nicely. Well, as far as i'm concerned he's a Malaysian. I'm not aware if he is now a British by citizenship. If he is, then it's ok. No prob 👌🏻
@@ana2ne1 I didn’t know texts had feelings for you to assume I was upset. Don’t flatter yourself you’re not important for me to slightly care. And with his previous interview he had slight British accent so that’s where the assumption came from that he is a British National. Please keep in mind before you lecture me on speaking to you respectfully try not laughing at people with your provoking response which doesn’t really work
I knew reaction videos were a thing but reaction to reaction videos now? what's next reaction vids of reaction vids of reaction vids? Nigel Ng is funny, you reviewing him reviewing someone else is pathetic, go and get some original content.
You are aware his “reaction” videos are actually comedic pieces right? And that he is a comedian and Uncle Roger is a character? You still have time to delete this 🤣
What's great is that Uncle Roger met up with the BBC lady. She admitted she was going off of the BBC cook book and doesn't cook rice that way.
Oh that's funny! She actually does look like she knows her way around a kitchen. We'll definitely watch their meet up video!
@@AlbertandCynthia please watch his next video meeting her in her kitchen...

its not salt 2 ist king salt bruh

Here in the Philippines 🇵🇭, we wash our rice 3-4 times until the starch is gone or the water becomes clear. Then, we cook it.
Yes, same here in our country, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Same here
If you don’t wash your rice or meat before cooking it, I immediately do not trust you 💀💀💀
Same in Indonesia excelt we wash it twice as our rice is already cleaned after twice rinse
Same
Mongolia 🇲🇳
Same Indonesia

We always wash the rice 3-4x before cooking. Also, we use a day-old rice for making fried rice.
I don’t know what was funnier.... Uncle Roger or watching Cynthia try to control her laughter throughout the video 😝😝😂😂
You know, I wouldn’t have noticed this so soon in the video if you hadn’t mentioned it. ;-)

In some countries you can get "pre-washed" rice. In most cases you want to wash the rice before cooking.

4:32 my stove is an electric flat top stove not induction. But I would trade my soul for gas stove. I had one in college and loved it.

I heard somewhere that that was how the instruction on how to cook rice was written on some rice packet
In UK
Geez almost at 100K. I feel like Sam Wilson trying to run with Steve Rogers LOL.
On your left.. lol we see you grinding! It'll come!!!!!! Hope you're doing well!

In philippines we dont cook rice like that.. if I do my mother would start grabbing the slippers and throw at my face and start yelliing
Ouch XD
"I breathe rice."
Yeah, I feel that, which is why it hurts my soul when I see someone mess up in cooking it.
Haha Draining the Rice 🍚 haiyah!! 😂
To be honest i think we do in our country like that we boil the rice then strain it and wash it with the cold water to stop rice from cooking
Yes! Seriously funny, hilarious! 😂
You should watch & react more Uncle Roger's videos, more hilarious videos to watch
This is the best way to cook Basmati rice. But one doesnt need to drain the rice if its a short grained rice.
He is a Comedian but he does research on food on different countries so it work out the right way not like Jamie Oliver , he didn’t do any research in different culture that the dish he cooked in and eaten out nasty Oh yucky it taste bad
Check out the rest of his videos, especially the one with Gordon Ramsey! Oh yeah, wash rice before and use a Rice Cooker lol
Yeah in some parts of India and Sri Lanka does cook their rice like that.
In your daily ingredient people consume MSG (monosodium glutamate) because it is part of it, not really unhealthy, only if its too much like everything you eat that is too much is bad for you.
It's south Indian traditional way of cooking rice, drinking water removes Starch keeping rice sticks together.
MSG is actually healthier than basic table salt.
that's actually how some people cook rice, especially brits ... you know! its sad that they waste food like that.
They were in India and China long enough you think they would have learned proper rice cooking
No we don't cook rice like that. Idk where that coming from too 😂😂
lmao, I just can't stop laughing!
To answer the question at 6:26
No no one does
MSG is not unhealthy if used correctly. putting a ton of msg in your food would make it salty, but using in moderation is not detrimental to your health.
I dont cook rice like that, I use a rice cooker. LOL
I used rice cooker n finger hand for mantain ...water
Hi... Malaysian here... Feel free to react uncle roger roasted by our national celebrity chef in Kuala Lumpur...
I started cooking at 13, im a guy and I'm to Asian; I never drained rice much less ran cold water through it, shows how BBC cooking works :PPPPP
And there's another he didnt even mention, scrambled eggs with oil???? I always do my scrambled eggs with a little bit of butter only

If you take a whole package of MSG each day of course it is harmful. But will you do that?
As with any and all substances: the dose makes the poison.
You should watch the video where uncle Roger visits Hersha for a 2nd chance at cooking egg fried rice
As asian there is no way we cook rice like that thats so disrepectfull for my eyes
I see why she said "don't be afraid". British people cook rice in the wrong way. Of course it will turn out bad.
