Trini: WE'RE HERE AT
GOMATEI RAMEN AT PEARLRIDGE
CENTER UPTOWN.
WE'RE GETTING A
BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT HOW
THEY MAKE THEIR FAMOUS FRIED
RICE THE ALL OF THE FOOD HERE IS
DELICIOUS.
TODAY WE'RE FOCUSING ON THEIR
FRIED RICE M I'M HERE WITH THEIR
RESTAURANT MANAGER, JENNY.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FRIED RICE
AND WHAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL.
THERE ARE TWO MAJOR THINGS
THAT MAKES OUR FRIED RICE
SPECIAL.
FIRST IS THE RICE.
OUR RICE IS FROM HOKKIDO, JAPAN.
IT KEEPS IT MOIST AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE.
SO WHEN YOU TASTE OUR FRIED
RICE, IT'S SO MOIST.
Trini: THIS COMES FROM
HOKKAIDO.
YEAH.
THING IS WE HAVE A SPECIAL.
WE USE THE MACHINE.
Trini: HOW DOES THIS WORK?
OKAY.
THERE'S TWO MAJOR ADVANTAGES BY
USING THE MACHINE.
FIRST IS HIGH TEMPERATURE.
ACTUALLY, IT CREATES A MORE EVEN
CONSISTENCY.
SO EVERYBODY BITE TASTES THE
SAME.
AND BECAUSE WE USE THE MACHINE,
IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE AND
EFFICIENT.
SO WE CAN COOK UP TO FIVE ORDERS
OF FRIED RICE AT THE SAME TIME.
SO WE CAN SERVE OUR CUSTOMER
FASTER.
Trini: AS A CUSTOMER, I
LOVE THAT.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS
THAT YOU PUT IN.
WE HAVE EGG, GREEN ONION,
CARROTS, SCALLIONS AND GARLIC.
IT'S VERY GOOD WITH OUR SOUP.
CURRY.
Trini: JENNY, YOU HAVE MADE
ME HUNGRY.
HOW ABOUT WE GO INTO THE
RESTAURANT AND HAVE SOME FRIED
RICE.
LET'S GO.
Trini: OKAYS, JENNY.
THIS LOOKS AMAZING.
THIS IS SO MUCH FOOD.
I'M HUNGRY.
TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE.
WE HAVE THE SEAFOOD FRIED
RICE AND GINGER CHICKEN AND OUR
CHAR SIU FRIED RICE.
AND OUR SPECIAL TANTA TANTAN RAMEN
WITH CHAR SIU GARLIC.
WE HAVE OUR CHAR SIU MADE
HERE.
WE TOOK IT 12 TO 15 HOURS.
IT TASTES REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
CRISPY OUTSIDE.
TENDER AND JUICY INSIDE.
Trini: OH, MY GOODNESS.
I'M GOING TO DIG IN.
WHILE I'M EATING, YOU MENTIONED
YOU FOCUS ON JAPANESE FRIED
RICE.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
CHINESE FRIED RIDE, THEY MORE
LIKELY USE JASMINE RICE.
WE SEE PEOPLE SAY THEY USE
OVERNIGHT RICE.
JAPANESE FRIED RICE, IT'S MOIST
AND CHEWY.
MORE IMPORTANTLY WE ADD SOY
SAUCE.
IT COMES WITH THREE DIFFERENT
TOPPINGS.
SEAFOOD, GINGER GINGER CHICKEN AND CHAR
SIU.
HOUSE SPECIAL MADE.
SINGER CHICKEN COMES WITH SCALE
YAN GINGER SAUCE.
Trini: THIS IS SO
DELICIOUS.
PLEASE, THERE'S ENOUGH FOOD FOR
BOTH OF US.
DIG.
IN THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IT'S GOMATEI RAMEN, PEARLRIDGE
CENTER UPTOWN.

GIVE IT A TRY.
THAT'S ONE OF THE SPECIALS.

GIVE IT A MORE SMOOTH TEXTURE.
Trini: I LOVE IT.

Trini: OH, IT WAS SO GOOD.
