Shanghai, China: Yangzhou Fried Rice

[RareCandeh]

Can you guys stfu about her accent, I know it's funny but just please stfu.

[TechnicianMad]

1:03 Young Jew friend rice?

[bsmith027]

Im trying to learn to cook fried rice and this white broad keeps interrupting.

[aimanhukky12345]

lingerie rice?! hahahaha

[ILoveKubake]

i think it's better to cook the egg separately instead of all this silver wrapped in gold shenanigans.

[KajinGnX]

IM FUCKIN HUNGRY NOW

[lJavieR7l]

I always check on the rice maybe thats why it never comes out good,

But now i know not to peek .

[AudubonBallroom]

this tutorial is really good, also using baby shrimp (the tiny ones) instead of using the big ones and chopping them turns out really well and ads great texture :-)

[jhaaptung]

She dont have that chinese english accent...WTF is she really from china.....????

[raymondxiwei]

@jhaaptung "doesn't", and she really has that accent.

[Imperial072]

see the bubbodyboiooo lol

[vincentwu]

very "interesting" video..

[ladygirl217]

LOL babulee boiling

[210482fmj]

i think you can make stir fries with better stuff than that soy sauce which is very salty. Im not saying theres anything wrong with it but you have to admit there is other stuff. Its just stir fried vegetables with some gravy

[Assent]

@210482fmj you're an idiot



[retrotw]

thats not hot enough...

[eostearlach]

who cares about ming or ding or bing bang dynasty the fucking food is good!!!

[jinxintiamo]

shit...yang zhou ws not the capital of Ming dynasty!!! Nanjing, my city was the capital that time!!!! u fucking idiot cook! all u know is how to cook. then shut the fuck up!!

[huadujuan]

@jinxintiamo you are the one 'shut the fuck up!!'

[brattineanne]

i wish there were measurements... :/

[brattineanne]

see the babulee boiling here... 1:37-1:38 LOL!

[beatlejn]

@brattineanne yes i see the bubble boil there!



[phdonme1]

Tanya, you are kinda condescending....IMHO. Did you even interview the chef before doing this?

[garbolulu]

The way she stirs the rice is really bothering me...I just want to snatch the spatula from her and actually stir the rice already!

[gracefulstumbles]

She didn't wash her rice...

[TheMrFiggins]

i came here coz i was hungry :)

[literallyblue]

this was painful to watch.

[inmens]

Both amateurs. Both hate themselves.

[beatlejn]

that's right, let the master turn it down!  just kidding

[comfortablesofa]

Why is tanya steel pretending like she doesn't know how to make rice? She's the damn editor of the greatest foodie website!

[KHomedy]

msg FTW

[tedchow2002]

yuk

this is not Yangzhou Fried Rice at all

[beatlejn]

@tedchow2002 yes it is. Perhaps it looks different than what you used to seeing but the ingredients are correct and the style of cooking is correct. I usually don't put mushrooms rather bean sprouts close to the end, before the oyster sauce for some crunch.

[VERGIS92]

Chinese and Indian food is such a treasure, I hadn't lived till I tried them

[Guntld]

Two women in the Kitchen. Purfect

[citycyborg]

LMAO @ "you're the master"



[romxxii]

This is far from a traditional yang chow fried rice. First, she used ham instead of charsiu barbecued pork. Second, she used shitake mushrooms. Third, where's the garlic?

[CanadianIdolFan]

@romxxii Garlic, really? I've never heard of garlic in fried rice. (My parents never use garlic in fried rice, nor to my friends and I've never seen it used in restaurant fried rice.) Still, if you stay so, I'd give it a try!

I think the ham is an adaptation since charsiu might be hard for some people to find.

[romxxii]

@CanadianIdolFan No garlic? Strange, because every Chinese resto I've visited here in Manila uses garlic.

If she's trying to find a chiarsiu analog, wouldn't barbecued meats be a better substitute?

[beatlejn]

@romxxii not for this dish. garlic is used in alot of other chinese dishes but not this one particularly. Yangzhou is a very light tasting dish so garlic will be too overpowering.

[beatlejn]

@CanadianIdolFan right, chasiu might be hard to find for those not near an asian market so ham can be used for flavor.

[rbern22]

This looks good.  I'm definitely trying it.

[nightfireivey]

There are a lot of ways to cook fried rice though. I've seen chefs use the egg first then Rice before throwing in the rest of the ingredients.

[cha0tic]

As weird as it sounds, the host does not need to be there....

[Islamicproud]

@cha0tic I totally agree!

[Robinhood2318]

I fuck the white bitch shit out

[onasugol]

The white lady is so hot!

[astaganagara]

5:36 you see my eggs are cook-ed already. ROFLMAO

[keithmathew2002]

Simple to cook and great to eat . I like her presentation , Look at her expression when she said 2500 yrs back :)

[33barbington]

The woman hosting this show seemed out of place in the kitchen by her comments and action. After giving a demonstration on how to cook rice properly, the cook neglected to tell the viewers that she actually used cold rice to make this dish,

The fried rice she cooked does not appear too appetizing.

[DrAndrew777]

Do not look at them, everything is very bad !

Very bad work.

[MrStephensmitty]

A tip is not to use vegetable oil in a wok, because it burns faster then canola oil, which can handle higher heat, but the recipe is very nice and I will try it,

[mintico]

cut a little scallin?

[1erhil]

she practically embarrassed the whole china

[junilwoo]

Another correction, it's named after Yangzhou but it does not originate from there! This fried rice is a traditional Cantonese dish, far far away from Shanghai. Chef Shirley, you crazy!

[oblivion1717]

how many eggs? 2?

[frejordan23]

Koosjer salt =p

[fuzzywuzzyiscool]

I Love Chef Cheng. Shes the beez neez.

[SierraHawkProduction]

she might be chinese, but this dish is not 100%....

[TheAlfaDecay]

weak ass fried rice. where is the tornado stir. where is the open flame, and she called herself a chef. freakin wow.

[nf782191]

@TheAlfaDecay Chef chang holds the world record for boning a chicken, can you do that Fucktard? She is a chef, your just a fucking idiot.

[TheAlfaDecay]

@nf782191 WOAH! Someones a little over protective, If ur that fucking serious why dont you just go suck her dick?

[TrainingMacro]

@nf782191 I bet it still tasted like crap.

[svx914]

Chang = Master!

[Aphablueforce]

@dragonfire12344 Im pretty sure this is modern ideas of your friedfrice. Yeah hamexist 2 decade ago? Anyway up with the old saying. It very dumb sometime. those quote are for poser. Anyway I think I had this dish somewhat ago. It okay, not bad. But you wanna make good food. Leave out the old saying. Should always cook egg first before you add ingredient. I don't mine cook this way cause some ppl's perfer. But as a young cook. Uncook egg when add rice, make rice very mushing coated rice.

[huge1211]

I'm chef myself and there are too many things not professional to make this fried rice. She is just there for show up.

[conradchow]

that's not authentic at all 

[gettingworse]

@conradchow Its made simple to cater for a world wide appeal. Just like most Chinese restaurants around the world, they change their recipes to suit that country's general taste. You can't really compare restaurant food with real home made cooking, but you can't possibly serve homemade food in a practical way in a commercial world, so you just have to adapt. Way of the world I'm afraid.

[conradchow]

@gettingworse then they shouldn't called it Yangzhou Fried Rice if you say so , they should rename it into something that reflect to what you stated. If that's the Yangzhou Fried Rice it wouldn't look like that and the dish they shown above , that's definitely NOT Yangzhou Fried Rice

[gettingworse]

@conradchow I think you're being way too pedantic, they just took the essence of Yangzhou fried rice and made it simpler for you. I agree they shouldnt throw the word authentic too liberally, but who's going to have char siu laying around in their fridge everyday? and char siu is the most important ingredient in this dish, it's what gives the rice the sweet flavour, but you make do what you have and if it taste good, who gives a monkey whether its really authentic or not?

[italiafla]

I'd be afraid of getting bacteria from that uncooked shrimp. This dish has to be done in stages. You can't cook shrimp with scallions at the same time. The shrimp has to cook a lot longer than the scallions, otherwise the scallions will burn. The ham has to cook too and the rice has to be cooked in advance. To me, you got terrible technique.

[Aphablueforce]

Well the thing is you should cook the shrimp seperated first or your choice of meat. Then added to cook egg along with other ingredian. If you cook like the vid, it give a fishy smell to the rice. But good way of doing it, and I recommended. Cook egg serperated first until it has some texture dont' have to be overly cook as your adding other ingredians.Your making fried rice not omelet. And Im pretty sure this is not originated from yangzhou. Yangzhou influnces. Name are just use for videos,

[diotriton2]

what type of curry is used by chinese takeaways? Curry powder? Curry paste (green, yellow or red?) ?

[conradchow]

@diotriton2 yellow

[gettingworse]

@diotriton2 almost all chinese takeaways make their own curry paste, its just mainly madras powder and plain flour with tons of other spices. They make them in bulk and store them for each day use. Once the paste is done, they just add water to bring to a good consistency and add salt and sugar and serve. Pretty simple if you know how

[diotriton2]

@gettingworse and....how can i do it?

[noobs123100]

i think that white lady can do better...



[YesManHKG]

@noobs123100 no way u racist peice of pooooooooo. chinese cooks are so good.

[alexflum]

"touch my stove again bitch and i'll gut you like a fish"

[rdf7777]

thye are both amatuers even the way they cook it is not true chinese, more like bigginers chinese cooking

[endramasagung]

thanks for sharing!! really good stuff you got!!!! been trying to learn how to cook this dish... can you can be more creative by adding a chinese BBQ pork instead of ham!!! cheers!

[happy04chic]

i made fried rice today and it was clumpy. thus, i'm researching on youtube. :) Everyone makes it look so easy. I will master it one day.

[CitizenDick1]

@happy04chic It's easy.

[endramasagung]

@happy04chic you should keep the steamed rice into the fridge for about 20-30 minutes before cooking them.

[zankhe43]

No msg-so did the oyster sauce have high fructose corn syrup-and sugar was added? Usually it has either or. I agree the host is over dramatic and more of a nuisance at times-but most people can't handle bare-bone instruction.

[jasonme2u]

i hate the host, she kept on interrupting the chef..

[deluxedookie]

my favorite rice

[shinurayohan]

it's because of american influence

[TheMrpalid]

can i have some dog fried rice?

[hardcorepiss]

@TheMrpalid sorry dude, they only use cat

[PlutoPlanetPower]

The host doesn't know anything about cooking. She's surprised by even basic information...

[deluxedookie]

@PlutoPlanetPower

typical host lol.

[peaceandloveinaction]

lol she said her surname all wrong. :P aww

[drewlsy]

This host is attractive, very demure with a pleasant atttiude.

[lumianic]

if the chefs use the wrong rice,he will be eliminated just in seconds in that competition,what i scare is that some uses yogurt to fry rice,when i eat the first time,i wommit,huh,that woman is just a peice of chinks,small character,hahahah!

[lumianic]

Just in China,we have got 100 types of fried rice in each province,each of them are symbolic,even each chefs in each province have to compete with their fired rice,what d god damn,what i can say that is my homemade fried rice is better than Yang Zhou province,hiak!

[udomsimon1]

Can I get "old Joe Fry rice instead Young Joe Fry rice :) " and can I put Here instead There :) I made it and it taste pretty good Here :)

[franzk28]

chinesse woman liar, don`t open the tap jajajaj. que facil se la lleva, 1 : El arroz se lava y se adereza con ajo y sal (por esto se formo la lavaza) 2 se mide el porcentaje de agua y arroz. 3. demasiado huevo , no se puede sentir el crocante del arroz frito. esto fue un entrevero de cosas y nada mas. plop.

[madisonelectronic]

Shove it you stupid beaner.

[superblade321]

omg she has no idea what she is doing. you can't just mix the eggs with all the stuff together, you gotta cook them separately and mix them at the end, can't believe shes teaches at an institute... shame

[dragonfire12344]

@superblade321 LOL, different place have different style of cooking, doesnt mean that it wrong to do what she did. who are you to question a chef who's been practicing cooking for 2 decades?

[KoreanVisualKei]

@dragonfire12344 well chefs wo have been studying for a lng time dnt nessersairy make them right.....not htat she is rng but get wht i mean?

[poolsclosedduetofail]

@dragonfire12344

you only say that because you don't know the basic rules of making fried rice.

[saharzain]

sorry for ur disappointment BUT THATS HOW AUTHENTIC CHINESE RICE is made..eggs are added to the rest...Cant believ u didnt even know that...

[lumianic]

oh ya?I heard white men cook things without basic theory,once they learn from others nations' cooking,they will not follow the rules and just making it more undelicious,that is what i scare about,no basic theory means failure in chinese cooking,about the sushi,we ban coz it wil cause pain in your stomach and your liver for eating raw food.

[lumianic]

superblade,once you taste it,you will be wordsless,you haven't taste it and you say that it is not very tasty,what a dumb of you...how can you know what it tastes like?But truly chinese migraters can't cook better than original chinese,hey chef shirley cheng,where the heck are you from?!

[saberj2x]

people, you ain't gonna die from a little msg :D

[BlueBurryPimp]

my videos loading ever so slowly but i dont want to restart and watch that crappy advertisment.damn.windows has me by the balls.......and they wont let go

[tohu126]

there's msg in oyster sauce...

[MrGuerrero2000]

can any see how rude the host was and is through the segment.

thank u cooking lady it looks delicious

[raidacaipo]

shes cool

[carolusjg]

Yangzhou used to be capital in Ming dynasty?

[in4ser]

@carolusjg

Yes but so was bejing there are half a dozen capitals most of which are hundreds of years old.

[lumianic]

a small capital before the ming dunasty will really established..haha

[gettingworse]

@carolusjg each dynasty have a different capital, its usually based on the founding emperor's home town

[sluglicker]

when you have ads attached to videos I immediately cancel the download. Fuck You!

[rondotexe]

You do realize that Youtube does that, not the people who post the video, right?

[ucfsig03]

I was taught wash rice until water runs clear and cover up to first knuckle on a finger...bring to boil, cover and turn on low for 10 minutes(it's never failed me) in case you doubt my teacher, Siu Siu is from shanghai

[AlcoholLevel]

@ucfsig03 I treat rice like I do with pasta. Sometimes I DO want the starchy surface and sometimes I'll rinse it... all depends on whys and hows of the recipe.

[itchyb00]

IF you want your rice to be sticky and soft, add the rice with eggs. If you're want your rice to be non-sticky, cook the eggs partially first and put it on a separate bowl. Now cook your rice with all the other ingredients or w/e. When you're done, add in your partial cook eggs and mix away. My home made fry rice are not as sticking that way.

[ifurkend]

Most Chinese family steams the rice in a electric / electronic rice cooker rather than using boiler/pan by fire due to laziness. OK, it never hurts to learn different cooking techniques.

[itchyb00]

That's what my Vietnamese family use.

[GetDamage]

there are two techniques for cooking fried rice. One is like in this video where the egg covers the individual rice grain and then cooked. The other method is to cook the egg first and then stir in the rice. The latter method creates a light, crispy texture while the first method is for softer rice.

[16051957]

Hey, I'm a guy and have always had woman cook for me and do my housework which I believe is a womans domain definitely. I live on my own now so I must cook for myself healthy meals. I find these little step by step ideas very informative. I like these vids. They help me a lot and give me confidence to cook.

Keep it up. I check regularly for updates.

[Nawaz101]

haha when the rice is rabbering

but great recipe

[userss00]

that chef had a foul personality

[krishotsaucemiller]

Fried Lice!!!!!

[krishotsaucemiller]

Booooosh!!!!

[seabreezed]

damnit ever heard of a rice cooker?

[Soopatone]

man! what a sexy accent

[IMB2U]

when did you get out of your cave?

[Soopatone]

Ooo an insult... I'll give you one thumbs up. ^^

[CCTVNBCBBCNHK]

FRIED RICE, i LOVE IT, MY FAVORITE.

ITS FREAKING AWOSOME, FORTUNITELY, USA ALSO HAS FRIED RICE.

[joywa111]

好厲害 .... 我指是她的英文

[NX74656]

This was a really great video. Thanks for posting this and all of the "Around The World In 80 Dishes" cooking videos. I really liked and enjoyed seeing the world's best chefs demonstrate their cooking skills.

[ghostpilot01]

I'm sure it taste better with MSG :P

[shukido]

yes, left over is best for fried rice its not mushy like fresh cook rice

[placosito]

I really miss Shanghai and its food, fried rice friggin rules, and fried noodles

[aguswidjaja]

There are some unusual things in her technique. For one thing, you don't steam the rice right before frying it. Always use cold cooked rice. And youi shouldn't put the green onion in the wok first.

[rioj77]

Obviously you dont' know your rice...she'd already said, long grain rice is fluffier...doesn't need to stay overnight.

[junilwoo]

@aguswidjaja I totally agree. I've seen this lady cook and she should not be teachinng at the CIA bc she does not know what she's doing!

[aguswidjaja]

@junilwoo But she makes very good tempura. Her technique is great.  Check it out.

[knightwolf333]

How many eggs did she use and is sugar really nessecary? I do not like my food sweet...

[babybath]

it looks like 4 eggs. and its just a bit of sugar just to balance everything. you won't taste the sugar

[TaipingNoise]

It's either sugar or the MSG. Better the devil you know.

[Ghostx1977]

That presenter is soooooo partonizing! she asks the chef to repeat nearly everything she says! And then almost tells her how to cook it!

[photonia2redrobin]

There are a lot of healthy discussion here about the authenticity of Shirley's rendition, I grew up in Hong Kong & now lives in Sydney. There is no official version like a lot of other domains, but I think she essentially got the skill and tech right, in Hong Kong they put more eggs and egg flowers and less prawns, but she has stressed use Long rice, very important.

[MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt]

don't put ham in that :S... nice dish with shrimp veggies, mushrooms and everything.. and she puts in ham wtf?

[dechicken]

True. I see some chefs in Hong Kong use to make that type of fry rice, but they use only egg white.

[AlcoholLevel]

@dechicken why only use the egg white?

[dechicken]

Idiot! Here is a word from a wise. Use Overnight rice!!! That is the entry level requirement for fry rice. STUDY MORE AND COME BACK

[jerrywu78]

Yahh..i gotta agree with you, freshly cooked rice...just doesnt have that texture for fried rice =P

[PerfectionObsessive]

Cooling rice within 5-10 minutes.

It's the same sushi method but you use cold metal plates rather then a wooden basket.

Have a silicon spatula, a cold plate, stir it until it begins to become uniform and non clumpy, that's the thing you want when you fry rice. The rice is all separate.

[Blingchachink]

yo DECHICKEN you speak the truth. my mother always uses non-new rice to make fried rice hahahaah very true

[dechicken]

Well I hear some old folks said that is the origin of fry rice. Fresh rice will stick the pan like hell and the texture is terrible after frying it.

[duhhh86]

actually, i think fried rice was actually invented as a means to convert stale overnight rice into something delicious.  at least, that's what we do at home =)

[Zulnic]

Hmm, I'm going to have to try this. That looks delicious. Added to favorites. Thanks for the video. I'm going to start gathering ingredients.

[hydejing]

what is lungry rice??? i thought we use the rice that is already cooked yesterday?

[kiravintio]

she said "long grain" rice not lungry.

[thibaulthalpern]

You can certainly use day old rice. It is easier to work with rice that has been cooked ahead of time.

[maduker]

actually the death toll from iraq is waaaay higher than the 30-40 people that products made in china has killed.

[cjason123]

her use of a western stove and flimsy wooden utensils is good for home use, for sure. I guess this is what she's trying to do: to show us how to do this at home. It's like cooking a steak in a frying pan compared to really grilling one over a barbeque; totally different taste and caliber.

[cjason123]

she just said that fried rice came from shanghai, lol. her listening skills need improvement. she thought the host meant that THIS particular style of fried rice came from shanghai, still not true. Yangzhou's a city CLOSE to shanghai. Again, her listening skills nned improvement. it can get her in trouble and create confusion.

[reeed0725]

delicious....

don't you think so!

[Bestialwrath]

Wait, you forgot to add the dog!!!!!!!!!!!

[VetShopAustralia]

ah shut the fuck up.

[Bestialwrath]

Dog and cat and turtle and rat! The chinese eat everything and everyone!

[cubitme]

yeah. you're next. fly you with flied lice.

[bbarta]

You are such a douche. Don't talk. Then maybe you can get people to think you are a mute instead of an idiot.

[Ginne86]

FYI East Asian is going to take over the world. YOu white ppl can just sit and watch. Niggas? thats a very lame joke.

[easternslavic]

No it's not.
