@@CamilleLMacLean thank you for the response! I didn't know they had taco bell there. I follow a lot of vloggers that live in Japan and they never mentioned that. I wonder how it tastes.

@@Ssengel69 Hi, I'm Mrs Eats from Japan! Yes, we do have Mexican fast food restaurants here! Mexican food is pretty popular among Japanese people (Of course it's so tasty!)! As far as I know, there are 11 Taco Bells:) The selections maybe smaller than the US ones tho:P
And here I am: A brazilian, watching a japanese girl watch a chinese guy reacting to a british chef doing something that in his mind, is close to Egg Fried Rice. What a world.
And I am an American person, replying to a Brazilian person's comment while I'm watching a Japanese person react to a Malaysian person reacting to an English person DESTROYING Egg Fried Rice.
As Italian, I say that you are not over-reacting at all. That recipe is a disaster. And yes, if you want to do variations on a foreign dish, you first have to learn how to make that dish properly, according to the ORIGINAL recipe.
Uncle Roger is just having fun with a stereotype, but he is capturing that cultural love of rice that is spread all throughout the Asian countries. It's amazing how many different country reactions are in sync with what Uncle Roger is outraged by. There might be a few variations in what outrages people from Malaysia/Singapore/India/Indonesia/China/Japan etc. but the similarities are so powerful. From what I've seen of your history as well rice has played such a huge part in it and many Asian countries definitely wouldn't be the same today without it. Given how important it's been in your history and still in your lives today I think your reaction is more than fair. And given your experience with rice I also think it's fair to say that we westerners (I'm Australian) should definitely respect how you cook it. I personally was brought up with the boiled and strained rice method but was lucky when I moved out of home to learn how to cook it without straining it when I learned some Indian recipes and I have never needed or wanted to strain it since. I'm definitely not a fan of gloopy rice. lol
Actually Jamie is pretty well known to "Mess up" original recipes in the name of "Healthy" or "Jamie Fusion" creation... which most resulted what's shown in this video...
@@nicholascauton9648 He's bust. The group went into administration on 21 May 2019 and 22 of the 25 restaurants closed. The administrators say very little of the £80 million owed can be recovered
Yes. It doesn't matter how you cook your meal if it's you the one who'll eat it or if it's for your family and they like how you cook it. It will be different if you're a professional cook, moreover if you're influential. I mean, some who know nothing about the food that you're cooking will think that everyone in the world cook it like that and you may end up hurt people feelings.
Being part Dutch of Indonesian descent, I can tell you that the way these recipes are done by these chefs is not just disrespectful, but simply wrong. Even if you were to westernize certain recipes (my mother does that often enough with certain Indonesian dishes, when some ingredients are not available here in the West), you still have to stick to the principles to give them the correct flavour.
so… i've only fried spring onion for two things in my life so far 1.spring onion oil 2.garlic butter i really dont think that you can do that for any other dish imo
lol. You looked personally offended that Jamie added water. Like he insulted you personally. I'm dying laughing. I came here from an Uncle Roger video and now I'm subscribed because you're awesome.
Asagi, it is always a pleasure to watch your videos :) I'm Asian as in from the middle east in a country called Oman, I can see the similarities in our cultures! My last visit to Japan was awesome and I remember the cute immigration officer she was surprised to see me coming from Oman and even more surprised I spoke some Japanese too besides english, she didn't know Oman was in Asia haha, Japan is awesome!
Ayyyeee, you watched it 😁👍 next up is the Gordon Ramsey one and you are free from The Uncle Rodger reacts series 😂😅🤪 👻 Btw thank you for being so entertaining yet perfectly composed 👍👍👍, it's elegant and definitely not cringy 😁👌
I know some of Southeast Asia's Western Food Stalls does have fried rice as a "Side dish" Maybe? Customers can choose to go with steaks, chicken/ pork chops, etc, to replace french fries, Maybe it can consider a fusion dish between east and west... 2 main dishes in 1? 😁 Also the so-called "Chili jam" is usually just sweetened chili sauce with a texture like jam. and it is mostly served on the side of a dish, in bottle or pack form... commonly in western food and fast-food restaurants. Most Asians do not fried rice along with "Chili Jam".
i'm an American and i love to cook. i love cooking all foods from multiple cultures, and sometimes i alter the recipes to fit my tastes. but names mean something. if i'm going to make egg fried rice, and make it my own way then when i tell my guests that i'm going to make it, i'll call it something else. just like if you made a Ruben sandwich and didn't use sauerkraut or replaced the corned beef with pastrami.. i'd throw it at you and tell you to make it right or call it something else. Jamie Oliver did not make egg fried rice.. he made Wet rice with egg and jam
This is fascinating... I'm watching Chinese, Malaysians, Koreans, Japanese, and even an Italian give the same reaction to Jamie Oliver's egg fried rice preparation technique...lol
I'm English and love Japanese Whisky too. So far i've only tried Hibiki Harmony and it was so smooth! I have a bottle of Nikka Coffey Grain Whiskey on the way though
Been off of UA-cam for the past 3 months - just got a notification for Asagi's New video - then noticed i actually missed tons of videos - Me : this is gonna be a hella long night 😅. Great video as usual Asagi 🤩
"the tears of his ancesters"..lol. I'm guessing that he really doesn't hate Jamie Oliver's cooking--he just wants to have some fun with it. Also, I wasn't sure if a wok was common in Japan, like it is in China. I'm also wondering about the differences in rice when comparing China, Japan and Korea..
Hi! I'm Mrs Eats from Japan! As a Japanese, I have a wok in my kitchen because my husband uses it a lot! But I'm pretty sure wok is not very common kitchen tools in Japanese household. Instead of wok, we use a regular frying pan, I think!
All chilli jam is, is like a thick sweet chilli sauce made into something with the consistency of a solid, but it melts when you heat hit it up. I dunno what Chilli Jam Jamie Oliver uses or how he makes it... But the basic ingredients usually are chilli, (maybe some capsicum), optional spices and sugar... That is it... So him adding chilli jam to that its just like adding sweet chilli sauce, definitely not the worst thing in his fried rice. But the way Roger loses his mind is pretty funny...
When I was in Tokyo on business a couple years ago, over dinner my host proudly declared that we will be having the Yamazaki. I had absolutely no idea why he sounded so proud, to his dismay. Now I have a bottle at home at all times too lol...
"Chinese people love Japanese expensive whiskey..." What.........? This is an OUTRAGE!!! I'm an American and I love Japanese expensive whiskey. Well, any expensive whiskey really... I should go grab a glass. Hold on. I can be outraged later.
For people who don't know what "Wok Hay" means, it basically means, Wok Heat 🔥. Wok usually has a higher temperature than a frying pan which is what Jamie is using here, hence the reason why Asians don't use Olive Oil especially for cooking Fried rice, not everyone uses a Wok for frying rice, or for cooking in general. But when cooking Egg Fried rice, it is essential to use a oil that has a high smoking point, especially If you use a Wok. Woks tend to maintain a high temperature when cooking, which means you spend less time cooking & more time with your family. Cooking with Woks, it takes less time to do fry ups, than it would with a frying pan or sauce pan, who would do a fry up in a sauce pan, or a frying pan? Doesn't make sense. In Asia, especially South East Asia, we use Woks because the wok transfers heat better than a frying pan, simple as that. The food cooks much faster because of the increased heat of the Wok. So what Uncle Roger says about Wok Hay is just simple fact. Almost everyone in Asia already knows this, but Jamie here is supposed to be a professional Chef, so he should know better than most ordinary people. Nobody in Asia uses Olive oil for cooking. So where did Jamie get this idea of using Olive Oil to cook egg fried rice, a staple dish, which isn't even considered as a side dish? I think Jamie, just grab all ingredients he knows, & just put them all in this dish, but putting in Tofu, silken Tofu doesn't make this Dish any more Asian, just like how Jamie put Inoki mushrooms in his Green Thai Curry dish, & we all know how that dish turned out. Jamie didn't put enough Green chilli's in his green Thai curry, he put more mushrooms into his green Thai curry, then chilli's, he only put in 4 chilli's, in Jamie's red Thai Chilli, Jamie only used 1, I repeat 1 red chilli, vs 200gms of green mungetou vegetables. Jamie has to be one of the worst western professional celebrity chefs in the UK, he is that bad at cooking, that Jamie should just quit youtube, & stop butchering national dishes of other countries. Just stop insulting other countries with his pathetic attempts at re creating his own pathetic versions of national dishes of other countries, just go back to cooking basics, because Jamie has no concept of other cultures outside the western cuisine.
one cook who reacted to this video, guessed, he had to add the water because by adding the jam and thus sugar, it started caramelizing and he had to stop that FAST and that was his only option...
6:25 - thank you! My girlfriend is from Chiba and all her spices and ingredients are in extremely nicely labeled ultra clean bottles (often glass instead of plastic) and she couldn't understand the plastic bag thing either. She also couldn't understand that Tofu has to come in cheap plastic bag either. I think it's definitely a mainland (not Hong Kong) Chinese thing.
A lot of restuarants have names like "BJ's" or "PJ's" because first names like that are common AJ, CJ, DJ, RJ etc... it's usually shortened from: first name junior. So, CJ for example could be a shortened version of Charles junior. Also, it can be a nickname people give themselves.
ermmm... tiptoes away very slow once you see my name...... hehehehe oh it not my actual name it my nickname but it is based on my real name ;) (after your comment about PJ's and BJ's places when Uncle Roger spoke about PB and J). But thanks for the laughs on your reaction to the video :)
Part of why a lot of Western restaurants (especially American) are named things like "PJ's" or whatnot is because it's very common for a place to be named after the person who started it or runs it, like "Jeff's Pizzeria," and people named after a parent usually have "Junior" after their name to differentiate them from their parent, and so you see a lot of people with names like "Brian Juinior" get shortened to "BJ." No idea if you already knew this because I'm commenting on a video two years late, but I figured I'd answer since I didn't see anyone else say anything about it.
WoW! You are amazing! And such a great sense of humor! To be critical and polite aat the same time is really a Japanese art! I'm a new subscriber now!!!!😅
If you don't have a rice cooker you can use Minute Rice (or Rice a Roni), a substitute for oil is butter, frozen veggies are more convenient, hot dogs (sliced) have a combination of beef, pork and chicken. Finally sprinkle fried rice powder mix to get that egg fried rice taste.
All I know is from dating a Japanese girl and having a Japanese friend growing up, but from what I understand, you don't cook green onions at the beginning because it takes away too much of the flavor and crunch, and you don't break apart tofu because smaller pieces of tofu have almost no taste, because they can't absorb the flavor of the food, and they have almost no texture when that small.
I had nightmares that night. Don't go putting anything that has jam in its name into fried rice. Use Schezwan sauce instead, if you guys want to experiment. It tastes amazing.
People asking about why Jamie is adding water, I believe I have the answer. You can see in the pan JUST before he adds the water that the jam is clumped together. A couple of seconds before this, he says he wants the jam to coat each grain evenly. I *think* he's trying to thin the jam out so it stops clumping and mixes in properly.
It amazes me how over many years tv chefs have convinced the British public to buy expensive olive oil which isn't that good anyway! Its much better to fry with cold pressed rapeseed.
@@alexstorr5511 The smoke point? Not say, the taste of it? Not everything needs to be cooked at very high temperatures. That depends on what you're making.
@@HrHaakon yeh well, we've been conned in Britain, convinced to buy foreign olive oil at high prices. I will continue to support British farmers who can create good cold pressed rapeseed oil.
@@alexstorr5511 I'm not sure if conned is the right word, but there's nothing wrong with supporting your own farmers, and there's nothing wrong with rapeseed oil either.
You might already know this , but "PB and J" stands for "peanut butter and jelly (jam)", which is a very popular sandwich for American children for lunch, or as a snack. This goes back for several generations, at least..
Adding water to rice? 😭...noooo. Hilarious video, Uncle Roger makes me laugh so hard that I cry. Asagi, I love that shade of lipstick on you too, beautiful ❤️
100% agree with you, even though "Uncle Roger" is a comedian putting on a fake accent and entertaining, he has a lot of valid points. and your point about lack of respect for the origin and culture behind the dish is 100% spot on as well. Just from having a Japanese girlfriend and a Chinese / Taiwanese girlfriend over the past 4 years, I have learned a lot that I did not know about rice, Asian cooking, Asian spices, etc. and still have lots more to learn, but I now use a rice cooker to make my rice, not boil it in a pot, and I now prefer the food I cook at home vs most local Chinese places. Nice catch on the wooden cooking utensil, vs metal. That's been something I was taught from my mom and Grandmother, you can use metal on outside BBQ Grill, but I have many wooden cooking tools. (a few plastic, but mostly for scooping / serving)
7:20 XD PB & J (Peanut Butter and Jelly/Jam ) fried rice... PB & J sandwiches is a thing in the US but this is the first time, I see jam/jelly is used in Asian-style fried rice, Haiyaa..
That was hilarious.:). I am all for bastardizing food to suit your own taste but for a professional chef to not even get the basics of a extremely common dish is shocking. I don't think I would have believed he did that unless I saw it with my own eyes.
Thanks for watching! It's so much fun to react to Uncle Roger 🤣

I'm German and I nearly died when he did that. Surely Jamie Oliver is a way better cook than I will ever be, but ... no. Just no.
Honestly, you don't need to be Asian to understand how fundamentally wrong it is. If you're making egg fried anything, you shouldn't put water in it.
That water just soak my soul in sadness…
That is high crime.

It started from the inside. After a while the the rice managed to choke its attacker.
This was a great break from binge watching Kyoto Tachibana.
Part of why a lot of Western restaurants (especially American) are named things like "PJ's" or whatnot is because it's very common for a place to be named after the person who started it or runs it, like "Jeff's Pizzeria," and people named after a parent usually have "Junior" after their name to differentiate them from their parent, and so you see a lot of people with names like "Brian Juinior" get shortened to "BJ." No idea if you already knew this because I'm commenting on a video two years late, but I figured I'd answer since I didn't see anyone else say anything about it.
Jamie Oliver added water because he added chili jam and the rice will be sticky

If you don't have a rice cooker you can use Minute Rice (or Rice a Roni), a substitute for oil is butter, frozen veggies are more convenient, hot dogs (sliced) have a combination of beef, pork and chicken. Finally sprinkle fried rice powder mix to get that egg fried rice taste.
Chili jam or candied jalapeños are great with cream cheese on crackers.
You girls reviewing my dearest uncle Roger are gorgeous! Dayum.
Nice lipstick! I'm sure Uncle Roger will approve!
All I know is from dating a Japanese girl and having a Japanese friend growing up, but from what I understand, you don't cook green onions at the beginning because it takes away too much of the flavor and crunch, and you don't break apart tofu because smaller pieces of tofu have almost no taste, because they can't absorb the flavor of the food, and they have almost no texture when that small.
For those who doesn t understand the Mulan joke, he was refering the Mulan singing "Reflection" in the movie 😂
We used to have jam in rice pudding when I was little.
I had nightmares that night. Don't go putting anything that has jam in its name into fried rice. Use Schezwan sauce instead, if you guys want to experiment. It tastes amazing.
People asking about why Jamie is adding water, I believe I have the answer. You can see in the pan JUST before he adds the water that the jam is clumped together. A couple of seconds before this, he says he wants the jam to coat each grain evenly.
I *think* he's trying to thin the jam out so it stops clumping and mixes in properly.
i've also heard a few people speculate his pan is getting dry since olive oil fries out quickly so he needs to stop his rice from burning
No he had to add water because the olive oil would burn.
I love this uncle roger!! Hes too Funny!
For some reason Asangi reminds me of my uni friend, who played basketball and was terrified of frogs.
I learned so much by watching him 🤣🤣🤣
It amazes me how over many years tv chefs have convinced the British public to buy expensive olive oil which isn't that good anyway! Its much better to fry with cold pressed rapeseed.
Rape oil is indeed good for frying but the point of the olive oil is the taste...
@@HrHaakon there are plenty of tasty oils out there that have a higher smoke point. I consider this to be the most important quality of a cooking oil.
@@alexstorr5511
The smoke point? Not say, the taste of it? Not everything needs to be cooked at very high temperatures. That depends on what you're making.
@@HrHaakon yeh well, we've been conned in Britain, convinced to buy foreign olive oil at high prices. I will continue to support British farmers who can create good cold pressed rapeseed oil.
@@alexstorr5511
I'm not sure if conned is the right word, but there's nothing wrong with supporting your own farmers, and there's nothing wrong with rapeseed oil either.
7:22 pb & j refers to peanut butter and jam (or jelly)
Asagi! Hello from Toledo, Ohio USA! I LOVE YOU ❤️
"Mulan is going to start singing when she see this rice"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok. Lipstick. Legendary! Beautiful!
You might already know this , but "PB and J" stands for "peanut butter and jelly (jam)", which is a very popular sandwich for American children for lunch, or as a snack. This goes back for several generations, at least..
Adding water to rice? 😭...noooo.
Hilarious video, Uncle Roger makes me laugh so hard that I cry.
Asagi, I love that shade of lipstick on you too, beautiful ❤️
We adore uncle Roger 😂 Thanks for checking out the video Camille!
100% agree with you, even though "Uncle Roger" is a comedian putting on a fake accent and entertaining, he has a lot of valid points. and your point about lack of respect for the origin and culture behind the dish is 100% spot on as well. Just from having a Japanese girlfriend and a Chinese / Taiwanese girlfriend over the past 4 years, I have learned a lot that I did not know about rice, Asian cooking, Asian spices, etc. and still have lots more to learn, but I now use a rice cooker to make my rice, not boil it in a pot, and I now prefer the food I cook at home vs most local Chinese places. Nice catch on the wooden cooking utensil, vs metal. That's been something I was taught from my mom and Grandmother, you can use metal on outside BBQ Grill, but I have many wooden cooking tools. (a few plastic, but mostly for scooping / serving)
For the American restaurant naming it's after owner initials usually.
I love watching culture shock videos on regional foods lol
7:20 XD PB & J (Peanut Butter and Jelly/Jam ) fried rice... PB & J sandwiches is a thing in the US but this is the first time, I see jam/jelly is used in Asian-style fried rice, Haiyaa..
Oh yeah, the restaurant names are unique to their specific owners or areas of city/town etc. I think. So they can & do differ quite a lot.
That was hilarious.:). I am all for bastardizing food to suit your own taste but for a professional chef to not even get the basics of a extremely common dish is shocking. I don't think I would have believed he did that unless I saw it with my own eyes.
Love your reactions!
he’s malaysian lol uncle roger is a character piece
"Plastic bag thing" is in Asian markets in the West. Uncle Roger lives in London.
That BLACK DOT ON THE NOSE is just too distracting
HAVE FUN!! HAHA
I completely understand uncle Roger, I got the same feelings after I saw Gordon Ramsey cooking carbonara (including the crying ancestors thing)
Great reaction vid!
Asagi-chan, when is your Egg Fried Rice video coming?
"or rice killed his parents..." hahaha that escalated quick hahahaha. Your videos are fun.
