Alex frenchguycooking made an entire series of videos about fried rice. He makes great videos, fun to watch, it doesn’t replace this video, its more of journey.
I recently hit what I thought was peak Chinese-style fried rice but this has given me food for thought, pun intentional. I’ll definitely try the recommended mix of jasmine and long-grain rice as well as trying to source some MSG. Personally, I prefer using pork than chicken and I use a sweeter, thickened soy sauce so I don’t have to add additional sugar to the dish.
Another thing that people always forget is that your takeout fried rice is being cooked over a wok range. These get way hotter than your home electric or gas range and people aren’t cooking their fried rice at home to the point it needs to get to.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort he puts into his content for us. Love the videos! :*
The answer is MSG. You don’t have to watch the whole video. You literally just have to go out and buy MSG.
Thanks for sharing the video! My bro is gonna love this
he put more thought into fried rice than 90% of chinese people
hell whenever i make fried rice i just dump leftovers with some eggs and soy sauce
“In the soy sauce isle…”
Wasn’t expecting much initially, but I ended up watching the whole thing.
100% props to recommending the soy sauce part. To each their own, but for fried rice, I almost always use lee kum kee.
Uncle Roger approved.

The key to a good fried rice is the lack of what Bruce Lee drinks.
The “secret” seem to be MSG, jokes aside this was an educational video and I’ll give it a try sometime.
Letting it come to room temp out of the fridge is a myth…
Why use koshering salt if you’re not going to kosher meat with it?
Ancient Chinese secret, huh?
