I cook asian food all the time. I've had immigrant neighbors ask why I cook "ethnic" dishes. I said life is too short to eat boring food. Japanese dishes include tempura, chicken yuzukosho with kabayaki sauce, beef sukiyaki, cream stew, chicken katsu, golden curry, and chicken yaki udon. My wife's friend from Kyushu said my cream stew tastes like home. No better compliment than that. 8 Pounds UK is a little less than $11USD

Japanese food is really tasty and comforting but i especially love street foods, my favourites to make are gyoza, teriyaki chicken, katsu chicken, ramen, and yakisoba
I got so bored of food that's common here... so I pretty much go for everything else. My favorites so far are mostly various Asian dishes. I'm currently tearing my way through learning South Korean cuisine while expanding what I know of Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, various regional Chinese, and Indian foods.
@@rfmerrill Haiya is just aiya with extra sighing in front, lol. You know like when aiyaaaaa.... trails off into a sigh? If you start sighing before you even get to the aiya then it'll come out as haiya. Seems to be more common in southern Chinese dialects though.
Here in Malaysia we haiya quite a lot when we're upset/frustrated. It really depends on the country and what kind of word they use to describe how frustrated they are
@@voidmain2453 and ヤバい? I searched it and apparently it means "dangerous" or in slang "cool, sick, awesome", but that doesn't make sense here, does it? :D "Sick" in it's negative meaning would work, but is ヤバい also usable positive as well as negative?
Well... probably. If you are going to make a 'white person' rice dish then this is not a wrong method (well, not the rinsing of the rice at the end... don't know anyone who does that). Take risotto for example. Doubt any chef would use a rice cooker to make risotto. But, as she was doing an asian dish this was clearly the wrong method. One should adapt to the technique of the dish one is going to make.
@@evawettergren7492 yes but risotto is made with different rice. Aborio rice I believe. Not with beautiful Jasmine rice for example. I've messed up so many pots of rice in my life! Lol
you can also check out this one: "Uncle Roger HATE Jamie Oliver Egg Fried Rice" this one also really funny to watch and also really pissed me off a little bit😹🙈
I'm French and I can say according to your reactions about this video that most of frenchies do not know how to properly cook rice. Everyone I know, including myself, make really wet rice and remove excess water from the pan, exactly like pasta. We also usually don't wash the rice before cooking but I began to do it few months ago. I'm interested about learning how to make a good rice according to japanese people for example because I've never been teached so! I send you love from France, you're doing great!
I completely understand. My rice never turned out good, until watching Uncle Roger now I wash my rice 2-3x, measure it correctly, and cook it without burning or having to strain. It's an art you have to use patience and practice. But fluffy, "dry", beautifully cooked rice is worth it!
Everyone is so focused on the rice straining, but I must point out she said to drain after TEN minutes! If rice cooked in 10 minutes, life would be so easy. Her rice has to be crunchy.
It takes a couple minutes for it to reach a boil and then she tilted the lid to let it cook for 10 minutes. So it probably took 12-13 minutes to cook in total.
@@rene925 Does tilting the lid make it cook in less time? (I was referring to actually simmer time, btw. Just to be clear. But I don't know of very many rices that have an actual simmer time of 10min...)
She maybe cooked it on a very high temperature. I cook rice like this: heat up until it boils and then heat gets reduced to very low heat for 12 mins -> Now the water should be gone and i put the pot on a place that is not hot. Maybe add some butter on top and wait for another 12 mins.
I lived in Brazil for three years and I really liked the way Brazilians cook rice. Back in my country I continued doing it the Brazilian way, it's very good! (Here in Japan I use Thai rice because Japanese grain is not suitable for this)
Even as an American, I was sitting here yelling at this video about her not washing the rice and draining rice like it's pasta. I cook Japanese at home, and I would never cook rice this way, lol. As a fun follow up, Uncle Roger actually did another video where he met the chef (Hersha Patel) in person. :)
My dad has taught me the correct ways to cook Asian foods and I’m very glad! I can make some amazing fried rice! (I’m very proud of my culinary skills and I’m very interested in improving!) Pro tip-Invest in a rice cooker, it will make your life a much more simple existence!
While in this instance and most you should wash the rice, there are dishes like risotto where washing the rice is counter productive to making a good dish. (Assuming the rice is clean of all debris which it usually is in America)
It's not dirty. You don't wash dirt off of rice, you wash off the excess surface starch. If you don't, your rice ends up gummy and the excess starch burns to the side of the pot. Rinse your rice a couple times under water to get rid of a lot of that "cloudy" water that comes out (the starch) and then soak your rice before cooking it to get really nice, fluffy rice instead of a pile of sad, chewy plop.
I never saw anyone drain rice before. And I’m American living in America where lots of people mess up cooking. I was taught you NEVER drain rice or mess with it while it’s cooking.
I live in the UK and literally dashed across my flat once to stop my partner from draining the rice. 🤦♀️I think it depends on how your parents cooked at home. My mum is Indian and I grew up in Puerto Rico, so you bet I know how to cook rice! But my partner grew up with roasts and bread, so he only learned as an adult. 😅
Here in Italy we never wash rice for risotto to leave all the starch in it to help thicken it. But even here, if you need to drain the rice there's something really wrong going on. I have no clue about UK's local recipes. Ps: It really depends, most people don't cook anything but Italian food at home, but there are exceptions of course.
If it's arborio rice, I usually just toast it straight away for risotto. Otherwise any other rice you would pre-rinse it. My Nonna used to make it all the time when I was little :)
@@rifahnanjib1284 Of course! I was talking about an Italian dish though that usually toasts the dry rice, you can't really rinse it if you need to toast it first. Always wash your rice otherwise though!!
Well yeah, if you wash it or not depends on what are you going to do with it. George asked if it was common not to wash it and I was just pointing out that for some recipes it is.
So yes, it's an extremely common thing for Westerners in general to not rinse their rice. I can read in five languages and looked into it some years ago and learned in some countries they're as outraged by rinsing polished rice (waste of potable water) as most Asians are by not rinsing rice. It is common to cook some Americanized versions of Chinese, Japanese, etc. cuisine. Growing up, we always used teriyaki sauce as a meat marinade. I tasted how my Vietnamese roommate made rice about 12 years ago and that was it, I changed over to how she made rice, but my mom still likes her wet, heavy rice better.
Chinese takeout is like, the cheap option! I would never pay £8 for a fried rice dish lol that's probably at some capitalist chain place. The local places owned by Chinese families it's like £3 even in London for egg fried rice.
@@misumatchua Very true. Here in Canada I knew a guy who owned a Chinese restaurant, he had the normal menu for customers, but when Chinese people came in they got the "secret" menu of actual Chinese food. We tried a few things from there, and it was COMPLETELY different from what you'd normally expect from Chinese food.
in germany its also not commend that the rice gets washed, when my friend was here and i did onigiri she was like "Why do u wash the rice?!" i just shot back "WAIT WHAT U DONT DO IT?!"
Yes sadly, it's disgusting :( I think it's because dangerous contents are more stricly measured/prohibited before a food goes on the shelf here and Germans don't eat rice that often so the risk isn't as high. But it's still a horrible thing 😅
@@alicia.katharina Well, from a scientific viewpoint washing the rice before cooking it won't actually get rid of any arsenic that might be present in the rice. To get rid of arsenic you will need to cook the rice in water that you then remove, not steam it. If you cook rice in a rice cooker the arsenic will simply be reabsorbed in to the rice again along with the water. So from that perspective she was doing the right thing. Her rice will not contain as much arsenic since she boiled out the arsenic and rinsed it away.
@@evawettergren7492 Sorry. We Asians have been doing this method (wash your rice first before cook it) since ages ago. And many have lived up to 80 y/o and even 90 y/o but still healthy. I'll listen to westerners if they talk about cheese and breads though. lol~
@@wannaim6958 I did not mean to make it as if it is wrong to wash the rice. I was merely pointing out that for getting rid of arsenic specifically it won't work. Most likely the rice in asia rarely conatin arsenic so it doesn't matter anyway. (It might be local conditions or modern pollutions that cause some rice to have higher levels of arsenic.) As the japanese are nr 1 in the world when it comes to good health and they sure eat lots of rice (probably washing it too) I of course would never argue the practice. As for cheese... well, we europeans argue among ourselves a lot about cheese so who are we to say nobody else can join in?
I am American. I always rinse my rice, I do measure because we don't have a rice cooker, and I've never seen someone rinse the rice after cooking it. It isn't uncommon to make fried rice at home, but we almost never make more complex asian dishes.
I'm from the UK and my mum cooks rice exactly like this. The rice always ends up really soggy and tasting like water and it's not very good. This is probably why I do not like rice much. I have been to friends' houses where their parents have cooked rice like this too.
This is literally how I was taught to cook rice 😂 for years I could never eat rice because I thought it was hard and it always hurt my stomach. Now I have a rice cooker 🙄
Nigel Ng is professional stage comedian. Uncle Roger is his character he plays. And he is really good in connecting people through humor. There is another video where he tells, he cried when his parents laughed watching this video. Here in Europa is lot of people who don't like rice a don't know how to cook it. On rice packaging are instructions how to cook it and some are in this rice murdering style. :D
I'll never forget when we were sharing cultural heritage in my elementary class and one of my classmates taught us to make fried rice! It was delicious and the best part of the whole week.
In Europe, many rice packages say to "cook the rice in an overload of water" and to "drain the rice afterwards". They also say there's no need ti wash the rice, because it's already 'clean'. Also in Europe, most rice is quick-cook rice which needs to cook for like 8 minutes. It's a disaster.
We have rice like this in America too, I was shocked the first time I saw it. I forbade my husband from ever buying that kind of rice. The only rice in my home comes through the door in 50-lb bags.
It is just a quick way to cook rice. In West Europe we don't need to wash the rice. The rice is already washed before being packed. We don't use rice cooker. There is so many different types of rice and there is a ton of different ways how to cook rice. If I want good japanese cooked rice, I asked a japanese cook for it, if I want Italian risotto I just ask my Italian chef father.😉 I am so happy, I love all types of rice in all diferent ways cooked.
Quick cook rice like Minute rice might taste okay to some but its stripped of most nutriments...Easier dosen't equate to better a extra 12 minutes tops on stove or just 3 minutes more in rice cooker...Seriously I don't understand the laziness...Food is important to health.
George we love you💕💕💕. Never knew you would react to Uncle Roger not that I'm complaining lol. Idk why I find you so generous and kind person just through the smile. Great reaction keep up the good work once again lots of love😁😘😘
About her not washing the rice at the beginning, some brands pre-rinse it. To be honest, I go ahead and wash the rice anyway because I don't trust that they were thorough. Also, she doesn't know how to cook egg fried rice correctly. She made everything separately. The great thing about stirfry is you fry it all together and the tastes combine and enhance each other.
@Gold Star Gaming I put either chicken or pork tenderloin in mine, bean sprouts, snow peas, baby bok choy, onions and red bell peppers, so yeah, it has as much as stew when you include the rice and eggs.

Hi, old UK lady here. I wash rice, cook rice, no water left to drain if it cooks right!!!I make a mean spicy, prawn noodle soup. I don't have msg but do have many Asian spices and also like to make sweet red bean pancakes. I tried making mochi but I failed. Katsu is very popular in UK right now.
It's pretty common to cook Asian-inspired dishes in America. I grew up eating chicken teriyaki and rice, and also stir-fried veggies and chicken with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. The supermarkets all have frozen battered chicken with veggies and sauce that you can fry up at home and pair with rice, too. And frozen egg rolls, spring rolls, dumplings, pot stickers, etc.
I love making Japanese soups. It's my favorite food when it's cold outside or if someone is sick. Nothing smells or feels better than warm broth with ginger and soy sauce when you have a sore throat.
Where I live people don't eat rice a lot and if they do most of rice available to buy is in these prepackaged portions (in one box you have 4 plastic bags with portion for one person, you cook the rice in those plastic bags and then hang them to let the water drain), so most people do not wash rice in here. I am one of the few probably that buys rice that is packaged per kilograms (the bigger package I can find the better) and I always wash rice and omg never drain it! When you cook your rice correctly there is no water left! I wanna buy 炊飯器 next time I'll be in Japan, but the voltage difference makes it difficult.
To be fair that’s the way over only ever seen people do it in the UK! That’s also how the rice packet says to cook it. I only know the ‘proper’ Asian way from watching Asian people cook
I'm originally from Iraq, and been cooking rice since I was 7 !! We wash the rice first, soak it for at least 15 minutes, add oil in a pot, then add the rice. We put enough water to cover the rice by about one centimeters (since it was already soaked), cover until it is fully cooked, stirr, and cover again until ready to serve.
I have a lot of food allergies, so I have to prepare most of my food from scratch at home each day. Traditional American food-at least from the central states-doesn't emphasize many vegetables, or when vegetables are presented, they're fried or covered in cheese or high calorie sauces. I have discovered so many new vegetable recipes from watching mealtimes in Asian dramas and trying to figure out what the dishes are! Gailan is amazing!!! RUclips is such a great resource for new recipes as well!
I grew up on a farm. We ate a lot of vegetables and I still do. It was very traditional in the south to eat several vegetable sides with each meal. I think the thing to remember is that America is very large and very diverse. 🙂
My mother has always been the type to make sure we have at least some sort of vegetable with our meals though I totally see your point. My fiance won't eat many vegitables unless I cook them in butter first.

8:58 George nods while Uncle shakes his head. Only time I have seen someone drain the rice was when they screwed up and put too much water. Over here, it is measured 1.5x to 2x water to rice, so it is nice to learn about the finger aspect.
It's normal to wash the rice in Europe (and in my case - Norway) as well - sometimes with the exception of already portioned bags, where it can be a bit of a pain. Edit: Not AFTER cooking the rice, but before. 😋
Unfortunately it is not. I live in germany and most people here haven't even heard of washing the rice before cooking it. They are always shocked when they learn that unwashed rice can even contain arsenic residue.
Yes!! I enjoyed watching this even more than watching the original video. George’s reactions just add something special to it. It’s like hanging out with a buddy. ...I am SO LONELY in my quarantine. 🤣
I gotta say, watching you react to Uncle Roger react to BBC fried rice was hilarious haaaiiiyaaa 😂😂 Maybe you should check out his reaction to Gordon Ramsay's fried rice video, it's almost the complete opposite of this one 😁😉
Until I was about 17, I didn't know that rice was also available in bulk. In Germany it is popular to buy pre-portioned rice. 1 pack contains 500 grams divided into 4 bags of 125 g each. 1 bag = 2 servings. The bags have small holes so that the rice can absorb the salt from the water while it is cooking. After the specified number of minutes from the pack, pour off the water and wait until the pouch has cooled down and you can cut it open. Some people speed this up by quenching the bag with cold water. So this is even worse than the BBC!
Living in the USA on the east coast I get most of my Japanese from local restaurants but when I tried Korean for the first time hours and hours away I knew I had to learn to cook it. Now I have an actual rice cooker in the house and tend to cook a good bit of Japanese, Korean and other things. Mexican is probably still the country I cook the most of but I always try to make a variety. Even if I can't afford to travel the world I can cook the different things at home! Hopefully correctly!
I'm Canadian, but half-Chinese, so I grew up on it. One of the first kitchen chores I learned was making rice. Measuring, picking out stones and husks (we bought really cheap rice), rinsing, draining, then adding water to cook. Rice-cookers make everything easy. My own rice-cooker is probably as old as I am.
Welsh here. Learnt to cook rice from a madhur jaffrey cookbook as a student. Never used a rice cooker only ever use a lidded pan. Rinse and soak rice, drain, fresh water by eye. Wait till it boils(lid on) turn to lowest flame, cook for 8_12minutes depending on rice type. Turn off heat, leave lid on for atleast15minutes. Then serve, works everytime without fail. Love different cuisines but struggle sometimes being vegetarian and coeliac.
We eat “Japanese food” in our household (USA) every meal for the most part. We were lucky to have neighbors and friends who taught us. One of my good friends was from Sapporo and she was kind enough to show me how to cook. I was never raised on cooking so I relished it. Hopefully I do well by her haha
In Portugal we don’t wash the rice because the rice is cleaned at the factories 🏭 and is packaged ready to cook but we don’t use a colander or drain the rice. It’s not common for family’s in Portugal to cook non-European food, we have a rich cuisine as well so in our households he usually stick with traditional or European food. Also if you don’t live in a “big” city is really difficult to find supermarkets where you can buy Asian, African or America (etc...) ingredients like Mirin, Maple syrup, Mandioca etc... Love your channel keep up with the good work 😊.
No Brasil acontece o mesmo, o arroz já é vendido lavado pela grande maioria das marcas, mas acredito que seja algo recente, talvez dos últimos 15-20 anos, pois existem casas ainda, normalmente mais velhas, onde as pessoas ainda guardam escorredores de arroz.

I’m from the US. My grandma cooks rice like this. I refuse. I cook mine in a pressure cooker (after rinsing it). I’m still learning how to figure out the correct amount of water. And how do you get the water to run clear when you wash the rice? I can rinse it for an hour and the water is still cloudy. Lol. Would love to see cooking videos. Also, Uncle Roger is awesome.
Pressure cooker!!! So Asian! pretty easy..wash it around 3 times (use hand like u grab something, make it like a knuckle) dun wash more than 10min because it's can reduce rice nutrition in it. after wash it then set a new water with index finger joint measure then u ready to go.
I love uncle roger’s videos. They actually get along really well done and have done videos together. I love they way you and Uncle Roger reacted the same time when she strained the rice 😂

I am from the UK ^^ we cooked rice in pots because rice cookers werent common, but it burns the bottom if you keep the lid on to try to evenly steam it so... maybe thats why she put in so much water?? I also had no idea I had to wash the rice! Though I never saw people draining rice like that... or rinsing it in cold water after it was cooked hahaha. Now... I've been living in Korea for 10 years. I have since realised the error of my ways hahaha. Also, rice cookers are a god-send! And day-old rice is the best for fried rice! xD
"Uncle Roger is Malaysian PEEPO!" Actually he is. Nigel Ng is a Malaysian comedian. I love his stuff, and how his accent breaks all the time. He sounds like the Malaysian nurse who taught me to make Serbuk Kari Ayam dan Daging. As a WHY PEEPO, myself, I love the way his head blows up every time he says "WHY PEEPO". That nurse and I used to mess with the Asian Radiologists at our hospital back in the day (early 1990's). She'd casually refer to me as a "fahn gwai lo" and I'd mutter "you come to our country and steal our women". We got a huge lecture one time, about how "RACISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!" There wasn't any. We were literally doing what I theses days I call an "UNCLE ROGER". Wouldn't try it today. No one understands nuance, or they do, and just want to virtue signal.
Italian here, there's like 2 recipes where you have to boil rice like pasta and drain it after and one you have to wash it after to stop it from cooking (is a "summer salad" and it's supposed to be stored in fridge and eat cold). There's even risotto but you wouldn't drain or boil rice in this kind of recipe... But we never wash it before, because if you boil and drain there's no need to wash and if you do a risotto you actually need the starch (washing the rice make you lose the starch). Obviously this is just how you do Italian recipes, not Asians :)

We kinda already do. My country's version is "Ay-ya" or "ayay", so pretty similar.
哎呀 āiyā is a very common Chinese exclamation. I don't know where the "ha" comes from in his version, maybe it's a Malaysian version?
@@rfmerrill Haiya is just aiya with extra sighing in front, lol. You know like when aiyaaaaa.... trails off into a sigh? If you start sighing before you even get to the aiya then it'll come out as haiya. Seems to be more common in southern Chinese dialects though.
Been hiyaing since I was small.
Here in Malaysia we haiya quite a lot when we're upset/frustrated. It really depends on the country and what kind of word they use to describe how frustrated they are

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well... probably. If you are going to make a 'white person' rice dish then this is not a wrong method (well, not the rinsing of the rice at the end... don't know anyone who does that). Take risotto for example. Doubt any chef would use a rice cooker to make risotto. But, as she was doing an asian dish this was clearly the wrong method. One should adapt to the technique of the dish one is going to make.
@@evawettergren7492 yes but risotto is made with different rice. Aborio rice I believe. Not with beautiful Jasmine rice for example. I've messed up so many pots of rice in my life! Lol

I'm French and I can say according to your reactions about this video that most of frenchies do not know how to properly cook rice. Everyone I know, including myself, make really wet rice and remove excess water from the pan, exactly like pasta. We also usually don't wash the rice before cooking but I began to do it few months ago.
I'm interested about learning how to make a good rice according to japanese people for example because I've never been teached so!
I send you love from France, you're doing great!
c'est trop ça? j'étais là en mode "mais les instructions sur la boîte c'est de faire comme elle???"
Check out gordon ramsay video. Cook rice in 10 to 12 minutes
Understandable, that's how you cook pasta so without instructions you default to that.
I completely understand. My rice never turned out good, until watching Uncle Roger now I wash my rice 2-3x, measure it correctly, and cook it without burning or having to strain. It's an art you have to use patience and practice. But fluffy, "dry", beautifully cooked rice is worth it!
Everyone is so focused on the rice straining, but I must point out she said to drain after TEN minutes! If rice cooked in 10 minutes, life would be so easy. Her rice has to be crunchy.
There are rices that cook in 10min, but they are rare...Most cook in 15 at minimum...
It takes a couple minutes for it to reach a boil and then she tilted the lid to let it cook for 10 minutes. So it probably took 12-13 minutes to cook in total.
@@rene925 Does tilting the lid make it cook in less time? (I was referring to actually simmer time, btw. Just to be clear. But I don't know of very many rices that have an actual simmer time of 10min...)
She maybe cooked it on a very high temperature. I cook rice like this: heat up until it boils and then heat gets reduced to very low heat for 12 mins -> Now the water should be gone and i put the pot on a place that is not hot. Maybe add some butter on top and wait for another 12 mins.
@@derPetunientopf That is one way...but....her rice was wet. And that's prob the weirdest part of all of it. She didn't let the water boil out...@@

Brazilian rice is very delicious! 😋😋😋
I am in the US, southern Louisiana and I have never seen rice cooked that way either 😅 We eat rice alot here, not everyday but very often.
Even as an American, I was sitting here yelling at this video about her not washing the rice and draining rice like it's pasta. I cook Japanese at home, and I would never cook rice this way, lol.
As a fun follow up, Uncle Roger actually did another video where he met the chef (Hersha Patel) in person. :)
My dad has taught me the correct ways to cook Asian foods and I’m very glad! I can make some amazing fried rice! (I’m very proud of my culinary skills and I’m very interested in improving!) Pro tip-Invest in a rice cooker, it will make your life a much more simple existence!
While in this instance and most you should wash the rice, there are dishes like risotto where washing the rice is counter productive to making a good dish. (Assuming the rice is clean of all debris which it usually is in America)
I was taught that American rice came pre-washed, like how they have to pre-wash eggs. I'm also white tho, I could be malinformed.
It's not dirty. You don't wash dirt off of rice, you wash off the excess surface starch. If you don't, your rice ends up gummy and the excess starch burns to the side of the pot. Rinse your rice a couple times under water to get rid of a lot of that "cloudy" water that comes out (the starch) and then soak your rice before cooking it to get really nice, fluffy rice instead of a pile of sad, chewy plop.
Same here lol. I might do that but before cooking it lol (for washing purpose yes). Never strained it like that
I never saw anyone drain rice before. And I’m American living in America where lots of people mess up cooking. I was taught you NEVER drain rice or mess with it while it’s cooking.
No... Wash the rice before cooking. Once it's cooking, don't mess with it
Ye but that womans from England tho so shes probably the only one who cooks like that
I live in the UK and literally dashed across my flat once to stop my partner from draining the rice. 🤦♀️I think it depends on how your parents cooked at home. My mum is Indian and I grew up in Puerto Rico, so you bet I know how to cook rice! But my partner grew up with roasts and bread, so he only learned as an adult. 😅
I have never drained rice either. I’m American. I was shocked too!
Here in Italy we never wash rice for risotto to leave all the starch in it to help thicken it. But even here, if you need to drain the rice there's something really wrong going on. I have no clue about UK's local recipes.
Ps: It really depends, most people don't cook anything but Italian food at home, but there are exceptions of course.
If it's arborio rice, I usually just toast it straight away for risotto. Otherwise any other rice you would pre-rinse it. My Nonna used to make it all the time when I was little :)
but dear it's an Asian dish you must wash rice grains and dry up rice soup in rice .😊 maximum Asians do the same
@@rifahnanjib1284 Of course! I was talking about an Italian dish though that usually toasts the dry rice, you can't really rinse it if you need to toast it first. Always wash your rice otherwise though!!
Well yeah, if you wash it or not depends on what are you going to do with it. George asked if it was common not to wash it and I was just pointing out that for some recipes it is.
@〈TheKfictions〉 not for risotto, no. The starch helps it to become nice and creamy :D Same reason we put pasta water in the sauces
So yes, it's an extremely common thing for Westerners in general to not rinse their rice. I can read in five languages and looked into it some years ago and learned in some countries they're as outraged by rinsing polished rice (waste of potable water) as most Asians are by not rinsing rice. It is common to cook some Americanized versions of Chinese, Japanese, etc. cuisine. Growing up, we always used teriyaki sauce as a meat marinade. I tasted how my Vietnamese roommate made rice about 12 years ago and that was it, I changed over to how she made rice, but my mom still likes her wet, heavy rice better.
How did your Vietnamese roommate make rice 🍚 🌾 🍙???
@@kijiawachowicz-ramgotra5391 About how you would expect: wash the rice, use the knuckle to measure in the rice cooker.

@@misumatchua Very true. Here in Canada I knew a guy who owned a Chinese restaurant, he had the normal menu for customers, but when Chinese people came in they got the "secret" menu of actual Chinese food. We tried a few things from there, and it was COMPLETELY different from what you'd normally expect from Chinese food.
in germany its also not commend that the rice gets washed, when my friend was here and i did onigiri she was like "Why do u wash the rice?!" i just shot back "WAIT WHAT U DONT DO IT?!"
Yes sadly, it's disgusting :( I think it's because dangerous contents are more stricly measured/prohibited before a food goes on the shelf here and Germans don't eat rice that often so the risk isn't as high.
But it's still a horrible thing 😅
@@alicia.katharina Well, from a scientific viewpoint washing the rice before cooking it won't actually get rid of any arsenic that might be present in the rice. To get rid of arsenic you will need to cook the rice in water that you then remove, not steam it. If you cook rice in a rice cooker the arsenic will simply be reabsorbed in to the rice again along with the water. So from that perspective she was doing the right thing. Her rice will not contain as much arsenic since she boiled out the arsenic and rinsed it away.
@@evawettergren7492 Sorry. We Asians have been doing this method (wash your rice first before cook it) since ages ago. And many have lived up to 80 y/o and even 90 y/o but still healthy. I'll listen to westerners if they talk about cheese and breads though. lol~
@@wannaim6958 I did not mean to make it as if it is wrong to wash the rice. I was merely pointing out that for getting rid of arsenic specifically it won't work. Most likely the rice in asia rarely conatin arsenic so it doesn't matter anyway. (It might be local conditions or modern pollutions that cause some rice to have higher levels of arsenic.) As the japanese are nr 1 in the world when it comes to good health and they sure eat lots of rice (probably washing it too) I of course would never argue the practice. As for cheese... well, we europeans argue among ourselves a lot about cheese so who are we to say nobody else can join in?
Germans make rice in plastic bags that they boil and drain, its weird.
I am American. I always rinse my rice, I do measure because we don't have a rice cooker, and I've never seen someone rinse the rice after cooking it. It isn't uncommon to make fried rice at home, but we almost never make more complex asian dishes.
I’m from the UK and I have never cooked rice like that. This makes me sad
I think only her get that wrong method. Nor any of my UK friends did it.
I'm from the UK and my mum cooks rice exactly like this. The rice always ends up really soggy and tasting like water and it's not very good. This is probably why I do not like rice much. I have been to friends' houses where their parents have cooked rice like this too.

Nigel Ng is professional stage comedian. Uncle Roger is his character he plays. And he is really good in connecting people through humor. There is another video where he tells, he cried when his parents laughed watching this video. Here in Europa is lot of people who don't like rice a don't know how to cook it. On rice packaging are instructions how to cook it and some are in this rice murdering style. :D
I'll never forget when we were sharing cultural heritage in my elementary class and one of my classmates taught us to make fried rice! It was delicious and the best part of the whole week.
I love how accepting you are of everything as long as that person is happy. More people should be like this!
In Europe, many rice packages say to "cook the rice in an overload of water" and to "drain the rice afterwards". They also say there's no need ti wash the rice, because it's already 'clean'.
Also in Europe, most rice is quick-cook rice which needs to cook for like 8 minutes. It's a disaster.
We have rice like this in America too, I was shocked the first time I saw it. I forbade my husband from ever buying that kind of rice. The only rice in my home comes through the door in 50-lb bags.
yo mate. Wash the rice before cooking is not just trying to make it clean. It will make the rice taste bettter.
i hate quick cook rice 😷 blasphemous invention!
It is just a quick way to cook rice.
In West Europe we don't need to wash the rice.
The rice is already washed before being packed. We don't use rice cooker.
There is so many different types of rice and there is a ton of different ways how to cook rice. If I want good japanese cooked rice, I asked a japanese cook for it, if I want Italian risotto I just ask my Italian chef father.😉 I am so happy, I love all types of rice in all diferent ways cooked.
Quick cook rice like Minute rice might taste okay to some but its stripped of most nutriments...Easier dosen't equate to better a extra 12 minutes tops on stove or just 3 minutes more in rice cooker...Seriously I don't understand the laziness...Food is important to health.

About her not washing the rice at the beginning, some brands pre-rinse it. To be honest, I go ahead and wash the rice anyway because I don't trust that they were thorough.
Also, she doesn't know how to cook egg fried rice correctly. She made everything separately. The great thing about stirfry is you fry it all together and the tastes combine and enhance each other.
@Gold Star Gaming yes, but from experience, I know this way is not very tasty at all. Would you cook everything separately to make a stew?
@Gold Star Gaming I put either chicken or pork tenderloin in mine, bean sprouts, snow peas, baby bok choy, onions and red bell peppers, so yeah, it has as much as stew when you include the rice and eggs.

It's pretty common to cook Asian-inspired dishes in America. I grew up eating chicken teriyaki and rice, and also stir-fried veggies and chicken with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. The supermarkets all have frozen battered chicken with veggies and sauce that you can fry up at home and pair with rice, too. And frozen egg rolls, spring rolls, dumplings, pot stickers, etc.
I love making Japanese soups. It's my favorite food when it's cold outside or if someone is sick. Nothing smells or feels better than warm broth with ginger and soy sauce when you have a sore throat.
Where I live people don't eat rice a lot and if they do most of rice available to buy is in these prepackaged portions (in one box you have 4 plastic bags with portion for one person, you cook the rice in those plastic bags and then hang them to let the water drain), so most people do not wash rice in here. I am one of the few probably that buys rice that is packaged per kilograms (the bigger package I can find the better) and I always wash rice and omg never drain it! When you cook your rice correctly there is no water left!

To be fair that’s the way over only ever seen people do it in the UK! That’s also how the rice packet says to cook it. I only know the ‘proper’ Asian way from watching Asian people cook
I'm originally from Iraq, and been cooking rice since I was 7 !! We wash the rice first, soak it for at least 15 minutes, add oil in a pot, then add the rice. We put enough water to cover the rice by about one
centimeters (since it was already soaked), cover until it is fully cooked, stirr, and cover again until ready to serve.
George is so surpised, he goes full Japan for about 3 seconds
I have a lot of food allergies, so I have to prepare most of my food from scratch at home each day. Traditional American food-at least from the central states-doesn't emphasize many vegetables, or when vegetables are presented, they're fried or covered in cheese or high calorie sauces.
I have discovered so many new vegetable recipes from watching mealtimes in Asian dramas and trying to figure out what the dishes are! Gailan is amazing!!! RUclips is such a great resource for new recipes as well!
I grew up on a farm. We ate a lot of vegetables and I still do. It was very traditional in the south to eat several vegetable sides with each meal. I think the thing to remember is that America is very large and very diverse. 🙂
Look up Indian food we have tons of vegetarian recipes.
My mother has always been the type to make sure we have at least some sort of vegetable with our meals though I totally see your point. My fiance won't eat many vegitables unless I cook them in butter first.

Only time I have seen someone drain the rice was when they screwed up and put too much water. Over here, it is measured 1.5x to 2x water to rice, so it is nice to learn about the finger aspect.
It's normal to wash the rice in Europe (and in my case - Norway) as well - sometimes with the exception of already portioned bags, where it can be a bit of a pain.
Edit: Not AFTER cooking the rice, but before. 😋
it’s normal for everyone to wash rice BEFORE cooking it! It removes the starch and just cleans it!

"We can not say it's wrong"...
Take it from someone who is english: it's wrong. 😂
Until I was about 17, I didn't know that rice was also available in bulk. In Germany it is popular to buy pre-portioned rice.
1 pack contains 500 grams divided into 4 bags of 125 g each. 1 bag = 2 servings. The bags have small holes so that the rice can absorb the salt from the water while it is cooking.
After the specified number of minutes from the pack, pour off the water and wait until the pouch has cooled down and you can cut it open. Some people speed this up by quenching the bag with cold water.
So this is even worse than the BBC!
Living in the USA on the east coast I get most of my Japanese from local restaurants but when I tried Korean for the first time hours and hours away I knew I had to learn to cook it. Now I have an actual rice cooker in the house and tend to cook a good bit of Japanese, Korean and other things. Mexican is probably still the country I cook the most of but I always try to make a variety. Even if I can't afford to travel the world I can cook the different things at home! Hopefully correctly!

I'm Canadian, but half-Chinese, so I grew up on it. One of the first kitchen chores I learned was making rice.

Welsh here. Learnt to cook rice from a madhur jaffrey cookbook as a student. Never used a rice cooker only ever use a lidded pan. Rinse and soak rice, drain, fresh water by eye. Wait till it boils(lid on) turn to lowest flame, cook for 8_12minutes depending on rice type. Turn off heat, leave lid on for atleast15minutes. Then serve, works everytime without fail. Love different cuisines but struggle sometimes being vegetarian and coeliac.
We eat “Japanese food” in our household (USA) every meal for the most part. We were lucky to have neighbors and friends who taught us. One of my good friends was from Sapporo and she was kind enough to show me how to cook. I was never raised on cooking so I relished it. Hopefully I do well by her haha
In the US they fortify the rice with vitamins like folic acid so not rinsing it is healthier, but rinsing makes it taste better.
In Portugal we don’t wash the rice because the rice is cleaned at the factories 🏭 and is packaged ready to cook but we don’t use a colander or drain the rice.
It’s not common for family’s in Portugal to cook non-European food, we have a rich cuisine as well so in our households he usually stick with traditional or European food.
Also if you don’t live in a “big” city is really difficult to find supermarkets where you can buy Asian, African or America (etc...) ingredients like Mirin, Maple syrup, Mandioca etc...

He sounds like the Malaysian nurse who taught me to make Serbuk Kari Ayam dan Daging. As a WHY PEEPO, myself, I love the way his head blows up every time he says "WHY PEEPO". That nurse and I used to mess with the Asian Radiologists at our hospital back in the day (early 1990's). She'd casually refer to me as a "fahn gwai lo" and I'd mutter "you come to our country and steal our women". We got a huge lecture one time, about how "RACISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!" There wasn't any. We were literally doing what I theses days I call an "UNCLE ROGER".
Wouldn't try it today. No one understands nuance, or they do, and just want to virtue signal.
Italian here, there's like 2 recipes where you have to boil rice like pasta and drain it after and one you have to wash it after to stop it from cooking (is a "summer salad" and it's supposed to be stored in fridge and eat cold). There's even risotto but you wouldn't drain or boil rice in this kind of recipe... But we never wash it before, because if you boil and drain there's no need to wash and if you do a risotto you actually need the starch (washing the rice make you lose the starch). Obviously this is just how you do Italian recipes, not Asians :)

Your video is very cute and entertaining. It also unintentionally gives insight into Japanese attitudes and culture. Please keep making more videos!
US here. I'm 66.
10 years ago I found out that some people wash rice. My mother, a great cook, never washed rice. The same person put 1 cup of rice and boiled on high; then she drained it.
