    Indian Chinese cuisine has a relatively long history as far as Chinesse fusion cuisine goes. Ever since the 18th century, Chinese merchants from Fuzhian would come to Calcutta and open restaurants, and that's where dishes like Chilli Chicken, Fried Rice, Chop Suey (different from the American kind), and Hakka noodles come from. One of my favorite misnomers is the Indian Chinese dish "Manchurian," which got its name from the Manchus who ruled Qing China, even though the people making the dish were ethnically Hokkien, not Manchu.

    Hi chef!!! A tip regarding the garnishing- here in Calcutta, the home of Indo Chinese cuisine, we soak the chillies in vinegar, for some time... Depending on personal preference. It gives the chillies a tangy sharpness, in addition to the usual hotness, and goes well with darker fried rice recipes, especially vegetarian and egg varieties. Also, coriander isn't much used here for garnish, instead onion springs are the preferred greens for it.

      There is no way they have 2 of the three ingredients back in the days. Sugar in particular and Ghee/Butter and wheat/rice?

      @@GopGV some crops being produced in abundance in one part of the world doesn't mean that a dish necessarily originated there. Like India produces a lot of wheat; that doesn't mean Pizza is not Italian. That doesn't also mean that Indians cannot enjoy Makhani pizza/Tandoori pizza etc. Similarly how potatoes are a new world crop but Aloo parantha is a South Asian dish. Halva is West Asian in origin, and Indians adapted it. Sugar technology developed in India and was introduced/traded world over. Wheat was domesticated first in the fertile crescent, idk what you mean by the ingredients are not produced there. People take one thing from somewhere, adapt it change it to their tastes etc etc. That is how cuisine works. There is historical evidence to it that halva was/is a west asia dish originally.

    In Karnataka state, India or consider south indian states itself we make multiple rice variants (Chitranna, Puliogare - Tamrind rice, BisiBeleBath - lentil / mix veg, etc). We add a little bit of oil n pinch of salt while cooking rice to ensure the rice grains doesn;t stick instead stay separate. It's an age old trick taught to us by our elders.
    CHITRANNA (Lemon Rice) is a popular rice dish in Karnataka which is also called (slang) as Yellow rice due to its colour as turmeric is used. Main ingredient of CHITRANNA is only finely chopped onions, garlic (some doesn't use both) and green chillies. Of course, a spoonful of lemon juice added while mixing the rice. Sometimes, during Mango season, we replace lemon juice with grated raw mango whic gives a tangy flavour and it becomes Mango Rice Bath.

    The soy sauce trick is actually a good way to getting some wok hei style flavour into the dish. Your home burner is never going to be hot enough to burn the oil particulates and give that wok hei. But you can add a similar smokiness by almost burning soy sauce.
    If you do wanna get that authentic restaurant wok hei(not a thing in most households mind you), take a kitchen torch and toss the rice while torching the top. This comes courtesy of J Kenji Lopez Alt.
    But the point remains, that don't get hung up on that wok hei. You don't need it at home. Think of it like home made mayo. You absolutely expect it in a good restaurant. But it's basically unnecessary at home.

    Love your channel. I learned to cook in several Chinese restaurants from my father growing up, then got my degree in culinary learning French/American style, and worked as a cook/chef for several years following that in different types of cuisine, so I'm always amazed at how cultural differences impact the way we cook our food. For instance, how Middle Eastern people steam Basmati rice vs East Asians boiling jasmine, how Italian risotto is made from Arborio and cooked over an open flame in a pan, the way Spaniards make paella in carefully burning rice at the bottom of a pot, etc.
    It's interesting to see how Chef Ranveer makes Indian Chinese fried rice. Some of his techniques are pretty interesting and he gave me a refresher on the components of rice grain. Also, I appreciate your nod to Auguste Escoffier. Great work, man!

    those long green beans are delicious in fried rice. they have great texture but blend in well unlike green peas. Adding vinegar is interesting but I think it is because of the balance, I would imagine the green chili sauce being very spicy and you really need that acidity to tone it down.

    @vitzveer Рік тому +3

    Spashing the soy sauce in circle around the rice, directly to the side of the wok is also a technic to help creating the wokhay when use the stove at home. Since the fire is not as strong, you will need to let the soy sauce touch the wok directly and dry out and burn a little bit to add the aroma to the rice.

    The reason for adding oil while boiling rice is that it coats itself on rice and prevent them from sticking with each other. So when you want the rice grains to be more spread out then you can use oil.

      There is another reason. If you made a mistake and left in starch without washing the rice properly, a bit of oil breaks up the surface tension and slows/lowers the chance of starchy water boiling over.

    One teensy little pointer in the translation - when he warns about letting rice cool he says if you don't, you'll end up making Chinese rice "halva" - you can google what halva is but we also use the word colloquially in Hindi to refer to a mess, esp in a culinary context. The caption says you'll end up making "Chinese style fried rice" which isn't what he meant.

    adding oil in water works for one's needs. it will keep rice grains separate, especially cuz the fried rice needs it so. other dishes, maybe not necessary. however, indian households do all rices, including briyani with pressure cookers which doesnt need it, unless it's britani stage 2.
    now for pasta i imagine it will be the same principle (oil being hydrophobic is exactly why it would cling rather to pasta or rice) but may work differently than rice fpr the kind of pasta dish. idk. i have to try that. usually just salt and water works for me. i try minimizing oil in my recipes where possible unless i have a reason to add :)

    The key thing to note in this video is this is a street side fried rice. In India you'll find a lot of carts or even food vans that give you quick and cheap Indo-Chinese fried rice, the ingredients they use especially sauces are of an inferior quality so the end product looks a little rough. It still tastes amazing but that is why Chef Ranveer said dark thick soy sauce and dirty green chilli sauce because that is what you get when you buy a fried from those carts

    Perhaps a random aside, but this is of course an Indo-Chinese-style fried rice recipe... there are also Indian-style ones like fodni bhaat ("tempered rice") that use, for example, turmeric and no soy. One optional ingredient I can recommend is whole dry raw peanuts, shells off but skins still on. Very tasty when fried along with everything else, they make up for not having any egg or meat, and they add some texture also, not too hard but with a bit of bite
