Uncle Roger Review $242 vs $13 Fried Rice (Epicurious)

remember this beautiful case this is basically our msg msg this is the most beautiful woman on the earth it's been a good run nigella but uncle roger found new favorite female chef uncle roger recovering from food poisoning high yeah i feel so weak so weak now i know how lactose intolerant needs and nephew feel when they drink milk have you ever had diarrhea so bad you have to re-towel bathroom wall [Music] hi i'm esther i'm a professional chef and these are my 242 dollar fried rice ingredient 200 242 dollars they're more expensive than uncle roger kidney what what is this is this for the last supper or something hi it's too much egg fire rice so simple three ingredients egg fight and rice nice esther think money grow on trees [Music] hi i'm gabby i'm a home cook and these are my 13 friday okay that more like it 13 still too expensive but that better not again [Music] we got this so they give the home cook expensive ingredient and they give professional chef cheap ingredients uncle roger thinks skill matter more than price so i gonna focus on niece esther because she says she's professional chef but we all know needs a nephew professional chef got big range are you like uncle wangan level or mr chili jam where where you find this where you find that the sea is a [ __ ] crab what's really important about fried rice is having everything ready so that when you're correcting it it's super super fast we're going to use the entire shrimp the shrimp head actually is one of the best parts i'm glad to say before i love head and shrimp head good also i like how nice is the handling the shrimp without even using gloves that's how you know egg fire is good when you raw torque your seafood so many things that you can do with it gabby was probably just gonna use the shrimp bodies as the meat to quickly saute into her rice oh you're gonna be wasting a lot of the other great parts of the shrimp okay we're just gonna have to de-vein the shrimp because this is where the bodily wastes live shrimp wayne is like jamie oliver full of [ __ ] emotional damage we're going to be making a shrimp stock that i'm going to shred stock it's just going to elevate the rice it's going to give a nice base very smart idea use shrimp stock to cook your rice better than using water so gabby gave me scallions and garlic to use in the recipe and i'm just gonna use these scraps for the stock give a quick scratch to the garlic and what this does is releases some aroma if you're throwing whole garlic in broth then the skin aren't that okay but you already peeled the skin off while your chocolate skin in there nice as the yeah this broth not been so my shrimp stock has been going for about half an hour oh colander high here on the shrimp shells to extract i think they're doing this on purpose to torture uncle roger so i have my shrimp heads which i'm going to be doing two different things with it i'm gonna be making a shrimp oil and a shrimp paste we're gonna she really making use of all part of shrimp that good and the shrimp heads that are super crispy we're gonna be making a beautiful shrimp paste i don't throw anything out maximize maximize maximize you don't throw anything out marie konto must hate this woman now it's time to make our shrimp paste most shrimp paste good peso and mortar i feel like it's very underutilized in the kitchen it corrects so much flavor and it's so fun to use or oh yeah that very good pounding see nephew nick this is how you pound not your weak ass stirring motion i'm gonna add two cloves of garlic all right getting a workout today i feel like instead of just using garlic in the fried rice maybe making a garnish with it so i'm gonna be making garlic chips i'm just gonna garlic chip a bit extra but i guess it's okay slice it thin on the mandolin if you go too slow then you're gonna cut yourself if you go too fast you're gonna cut yourself i uh too slow cannot too fast also cannot that's the same complaint as auntie helen it's ready so at this point we're going to take it out because nice look good darken as it sits maybe salt it a bit also chips how can i not perfect okay so time for the rice the most important part hence it's fried rice chef esther was kind enough to prepare the rice for me so i gifted gabby cooked kosher gary rice that's a day old you cannot just give her rice three ingredients egg fire and rice you give her rice you give her a third of the egg fire rice might as well give up the whole egg fried rice white pot asking her to cook gabby sent me probably your most common rice that you'll find in your local supermarket and in this case we're going to do two cups just been rice okay wash my rice multiple times but i think i'm just going to give this one a rinse because it's not too starchy two cups of i uh you have restaurant but cannot afford rice cooker why and now this is my trick when i do it at the restaurants spread it out on the sheet tray and let it kind of dry out like that ah very smart because nice esther don't have day old rice she have to make rice now so she dry it off on baking sheet to simulate the dryness of day old rice good tip good tip clearly gabby didn't send me much vegetables to work with good good that good because vegetable taste like sad don't eat them if you want to be healthy just go exercise [ __ ] vegetable okay we're gonna still maximize scallions i'm actually gonna use in two different ways with the whites i'm actually going to use to kind of flavor the oil when i cook the frying pan this and the greens i'm going to use as a topping a little milder that's slanted slicing that very fancy so i'm slicing these on a long bias because at the restaurant we like to call this sexy scallions oh sexy scallion that gonna be uncle roger drag queen name because i slim slanter and go well on top of anything water because it can get a little slimy and it also like perks it up now for the jalapeno what what holla jalapeno for egg fried rice that mexican you are making egg fire rice not egg 5 burrito just use normal chili what with jalapeno hi i saw this on tik tok actually but it's something called golden fried rice and what it is it's separating the egg yolks from the white and using the yolk almost like a fat emulsifier and coating the rice with the egg yolk oh it's like using a butter interesting technique uncle roger never used that before but it looked cool because i think the fried rice gonna have very nice yellow color and the egg yolk evenly spread throughout rice enkura you didn't know you could get good cooking technique from tik tok because to me tik tok is just underage girl dancing it's like pitot tinter so this is why i'm using the yolk for this all right our rice is ready to go we got ourselves a wok so gabby's gonna be making her fried rice in a walk good here's a tip for someone who wants to use a wok at home you can actually turn the burner grate upside down to create a cradle for your walk to rest in fruit oh that very good tip again this niece has to have so many handy tricks i think if you troll needs esther on deserted island within a week you come back she already have built a boat start a restaurant and start family also so now my flame can basically touch my wok i have not been gifted with a wok so i'm going to be using the second best thing it's a cast iron skillet i love the cap okay that okay also means a lot of heat and also because cast iron skillet is white people version of wok you need to season it you can pass it down to generation and people so impress if you have one first thing fried eggs while that cooks let's get our cast iron hot let's add some of our beautiful shrimp oil add my scallion whites so we're good it's like beautiful scallion oil in the shrimp oil what you're doing to walk you have to like you know you got to own it that's what i'm doing right now i'm just showing his box you know let's see if i can get a little flipping no don't if you do walk toss toss it close to fire that's the whole point you want the fire to touch the tossing don't just toss in the middle of kitchen what you doing what you doing see how all the granules are separated there's no clumps nice fried rice correct again cooking the egg whites so it's almost all there and then we'll incorporate it into the rice my egg i guess just kind of gets thrown in there i'm just gonna kind of rip it wait what shred why why are you putting egg in like that who want to who want to eat big slice of egg like this just one big strip we want little bits of egg into fire rice not a whole bed sheet we're gonna add our shrimp and our aromatics back in there give that a paw remember this beautiful paste this is basically our msg starbucks this is basically our msg msg this is the most beautiful woman on the earth she said the word msg [Music] roger's slowly falling in love with this woman she's so good at cooking and she like msg [Music] no more nigella
