- Induction stove, haiyaa.
(upbeat music)
Hello, niece and nephew it's Uncle Roger.
Uncle Roger hit 3 million subscribers,
thank you to all my niece and nephew,
and as promised I gonna make my egg fried rice today.
This video is sponsored by Sasa,
Uncle Roger favorite Indonesian seasoning brand.
For this video, Uncle Roger back at Mei Mei
where I got my first job.
What is vegan?
- Like no animal products.
- No animal product.
So you go your life just eating leaf?
This is Mei Mei's boss, Liz.
To get my job back I will impress you with my egg fried rice
but first tell our viewer, what is it Mei Mei.
- Mei Mei a Singaporean kopitiam.
So we do Singaporean coffee, tea
we specialize in Indonesian chicken rice.
Nasi lemak, which I'm sure you're a fan of.
- You steal all the Malaysian food.
(chuckling)
Liz, I hear you have Michelin star.
Is that correct?
- In my last special
yeah, I had a Michelin star.
- Fuiyoh, how many Michelin star?
- One.
- Just one?
Uncle Gordon have 22.
Failure.
- Still more than you.
- Oh, haven't even start cooking, already got roasted.
- So I'm gonna be reviewing your egg fried rice.
I seen as you review so many others.
So I'm gonna be quite harsh on you.
- Haiyaa, so much pressure.
Uncle Roger, not professional chef, I just home cook.
Now I gonna be judged by Michelin star chef.
(upbeat music)
Step one, throw away your chili jam.
This is not Jamie Oliver cooking show.
Liz, can I have one of your knives?
No, no, no.
This is paring knife.
This not used for chopping.
This Liz try to trick me.
This is more like it.
Asian people when we cook, all we need is one knife.
First step is garlic.
For one portion of egg fried rice, at least five clove.
Asian people love garlic.
We treat garlic like we treat our children,
they're never enough.
You smash the garlic so you don't end up like Kay cooking.
The garlic don't run away from you.
Uncle Roger not the best garlic chopper, but don't worry.
Everything look cooler in slow motion.
(upbeat music)
So Liz, what you think of my chopping so far?
- It could be a bit finer.
- Just complain.
(laughing)
Garlic is the best thing ever.
Many people complain garlic give them bad breath
but don't worry, Uncle Roger single,
not kissing anyone anyway,
that is one good part about being lonely.
Nobody know you have bad breath.
Now we chop shallot.
Shallot is better version of onion.
- Nicer flavor.
- Don't use onion for your egg fried rice.
Only poor people use onion.
(upbeat music)
And then you slice it from the middle.
- Be careful of your hands.
- Don't worry hospital very close.
- It is.
(upbeat music)
- Now time for egg.
Uncle Roger like to use one full egg and one egg yolk.
This is technique I learned from Malaysian chef,
Sherson Lian, check out his YouTube channel.
Many people say egg yolk give your cholesterol
but Uncle Roger say cholesterol is full of flavor.
Whisk the egg.
No, not with whisk, haiyaa.
No Asian person use whisk, we whisk egg with chopstick.
What kind of Asian restaurant you run?
Why you have whisk?
(laughing)
You have whisk, do you also have colander?
- No.
- Next we chop spring onion.
This is another classic Asian ingredient.
Chop away the shit you don't need.
- Don't throw away.
We use for stock.
- You use the shit you don't need?
- Yeah.
- Michelin star chef love using trash to cook their food.
(upbeat music)
Another great thing of using big knife,
it can almost become plate, see.
Last thing you need to chop is chili.
Uncle Roger loves spice because Uncle Roger not pussy.
And of course for egg fried rice
you have to use left over rice,
but this is Uncle Roger biggest secret.
It's not just any left over rice.
This is left over chicken rice.
This is rice cooked with chicken stock, ginger and garlic.
Full of flavor because you leave it overnight.
Now the rice is so separated.
So nice.
This rice feel better than woman.
- Uncle Roger stop touching the rice.
- Auntie Helen left Uncle Roger too long now,
this is the only time I get to touch something moist.
(upbeat music)
Sorry, children.
How many rice cooker you have?
- Four.
- Four?
Uncle Gordon wok fuck boy,
but Liz is rice cooker fuck girl.
You also need soy sauce,
Asian sesame oil, must be Asian.
And of course we must not forget
the most important ingredient.
The king of flavor, Uncle Roger's white powder of choice.
MSG.
Do you use MSG in your cooking now?
- We do now, Uncle Roger.
- I think you're going to get second Michelin star soon.
Uncle Roger using my favorite brand of MSG Sasa.
This is from Indonesia.
Uncle Roger samples so many different type of MSG
and this taste the best.
This packaging will be the last of this year.
Next year, they're going to improve their packaging,
make it even more pretty.
I see so many niece and nephew make egg fried rice
with carrot or peas,
haiyaa, don't use vegetable.
Vegetable tastes like sad.
(upbeat music)
Okay, now we start cooking, but we got one problem,
induction stove, haiyaa.
Liz, where are your fire?
Where are your gas stove?
- Well, we don't have any gas connection here, Uncle Roger,
but this is not the average induction for the home.
This is the top of the range induction for chefs.
You get a really good wok hay.
- Uncle Roger want to work here.
So I will try to use this.
Uncle Roger, going to cook with this.
It is metal spoon, but don't worry.
Professional wok, not nonstick wok.
So if you use metal spoon in this
your mom won't come and beat you.
First coat the wok with oil
and this is peanut oil because Uncle Roger
love to kill all the weak peanut allergy people.
Once the oil start smoking throw away the oil.
Correct so far?
- Yeah, apart from the peanut oil thing.
- You don't use peanut oil?
- No, we don't use peanut oil here
because we don't want to kill anyone.
- Oh.
- They're not weak to us.
- This is your problem.
If you can't use peanut oil, vegetable oil okay also.
Just don't use olive oil,
this is not Jamie Oliver cooking show.
(chuckling)
Spread the oil nicely around the wok.
Okay, first thing in garlic and shallot.
(sizzling)
Fry it a bit until it's fragrant.
Next step, egg.
Stir it around, when it almost all solid like this,
time for the rice.
Uncle Roger never measure because Asian people when we cook
we don't measure.
We just use feeling.
- Agak-agak.
- Agak-agak is the Malaysian way to say it.
It's a bit dry so I put a bit more oil in there.
Now we add soy sauce.
Just use feeling.
We put soy sauce in until our ancestors tell us is enough.
Sesame oil.
You have to flatten the rice so they don't clump together.
And now the most important ingredient,
MSG, fuiyoh.
(upbeat music)
And your final garnish,
spring onion and chili.
Stir everything around.
This induction stove not bad, uncle Roger I change my mind.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, not bad, Uncle Roger.
Good height.
You have had a lot of practice of tossing, huh?
- Oh, Uncle Roger love tossing.
Is my favorite thing to do.
That's why Auntie Helen leave.
And now ready to be served.
(upbeat music)
See, so simple, five minutes.
That's all you need for Uncle Roger egg fried rice.
- For a home cook, not too bad.
- Okay. - You're a little messy.
- But it's okay.
- It's okay.
- Professional kitchen got professional cleaner.
When I cook at home, I'm more tidy because I clean myself.
But a professional kitchen,
you can hire people clean for you.
- But you're gonna be cleaning than this Uncle Roger.
- No, no, no. I applying job as chef, not as cleaner.
Now time for taste test.
Haiyaa, Asian people we don't eat rice with fork.
Okay, this is better.
Either spoon or chopstick only.
- Not bad, Uncle Roger.
- Not bad.
- A lot of MSG.
- Not a lot of MSG, just the right amount.
No such thing as too much MSG.
Sometime we complain food too salty or food too sweet.
But nobody ever complained food too umami.
- Guys are you open today?
- Oh, this guy looks so familiar.
I think he is peanut allergy guy from first Mei Mei video.
Why you don't want peanut?
- I'm allergic.
- Why so weak?
So weak.
- Do you guys have anything on today?
Any hot food.
- We have egg fried rice on the menu today.
- Yeah.
- No, no, no, no.
It's got peanut oil.
- Haiyaa.
- I can see why you review other people's egg fried rice.
It's not bad for home cook.
- Okay, okay.
- I'll show you how a Michelin star will cook this.
- Let's see, let's see.
(upbeat music)
- The technique you got just right,
heat up the oil to season the wok.
You just want to get it nice and smoke,
get that wok okay.
- Haiyaa, takes so long.
Uncle Roger finished cooking and eating already.
- Instead of using oil, I'm gonna use some pork fat
because-
- Pork fat.
- Yeah, I like the flavor of pork fat.
- You didn't tell uncle Roger you have pork fat.
Uncle Roger love pork.
Pig are the smartest, but also delicious animal.
Fuiyoh.
But you use pork fat, nobody has pork fat at home.
- They can, you can buy it.
But if you're vegetarian don't use,
just use vegetable oil.
Eggs going in.
- So are you saying vegetarian people don't deserve flavor?
- Rice is going in, Mei Mei chicken rice.
Oh, MSG. Why so little?
MSG not expensive, don't be so stingy.
Use more, use more.
- No, no, that's enough.
- Haiyaa - Soy sauce
is quite salty already.
And white pepper.
- White pepper?
Oh, Uncle Roger forgot about that ingredient.
- I know.
With mine I got the spring onion, garlic, chive and chili.
- Oh, Michelin star tossing messy also.
Haiyaa. (laughing)
- Uncle Roger, Mei Mei makes sambal belacan.
- This is the ingredient Uncle Gordon used in his video too.
Michelin star egg fried rice.
Let's see how it tastes.
- It's a spoon this time.
- Yes, correct.
Mm Hmm.
This really good.
(chuckling)
A little bit better than my version.
- Just a little bit?
- So you're saying I am just sanbao and pork fat away
from being Michelin star chef?
- There's a little more hard work involved in that, but yes.
- Uncle Roger approved.
- Good.
- She's officially Auntie Liz now.
- Oh, what. So we're married?
- No, no, Uncle Roger don't wanna marry you, haiyaa.
(laughing)
I just call you Auntie Liz out of respect.
- Okay,
I'll take the respect. - Like Uncle Gordon.
Who want to marry you? Haiyaa.
Don't even have gas stove. - Peanut allergy guy.
- Peanut allergy guy your husband?
- Yeah.
- Plot twist.
(dramatic music)
(exhales)
Cooking egg fried rice so exhausting.
What do you think of my fried rice?
What do you think?
- Not bad Uncle Roger.
For a home cook it was pretty good.
The cutting just needs to be a bit faster
and a little tidier. - What?
Okay, what about cooking?
Technique okay?
- Technique good.
- What about my wok tossing?
- You can tell you've had a lot of practice
at that wok tossing.
- So nice coming from Michelin star chef,
make Uncle Roger feel so special.
- Oh.
- If you're in London, come to Mei Mei,
food so tasty.
Hopefully your have your egg fried rice on the menu soon.
- We will.

- With my face on the box?
- Maybe.
- Ooh.
