  • So we do Singaporean coffee, tea

  • we specialize in Indonesian chicken rice.

  • Nasi lemak, which I'm sure you're a fan of.

  • - 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.
