My mom would start with frying some bacon. Then after removing the bacon from the pan she would throw the garlic and onion into the bacon grease. After cooking that she would toss in her rice. After a bit of stirring, she would crack 3-4 eggs on top of the rice. Then mix everything to coat it all in the egg. Seasoning would be done at this point and she would sometimes throw in some cooked chicken or pork if there where any leftovers in the fridge. When I learned that most people cook the egg first, it seemed crazy to me. My mom made the best fried rice. It was a staple of my childhood. That and Spam.
I'll be trying out your moms recipe tomorrow!
@@soadisturbed tell us if it's nice!!
That actually sounds like flavor-town... I took a screenshot of your comment so I can later reference. Sounds like you got one amazing mom!
That is how I have always done it as well. I never cooked the egg separate.
yes this!!!
There is actually scientific explanation to this recipe.
egg yolk contains fat, therefore by coating the rice with yolk, it guarantees that your rice grains will not stick to the pan as well as to each other, which makes your rice perfectly "separated".
And the egg white is high in protein and low in everything else (if we ignore water), which makes it easier to trigger Maillard reaction (梅納反應), that's why when you fry an egg, it's always the egg white that becomes crispy.
I usually fry the yolky rice in much higher heat until the rice grains start "bouncing" in the pan, that's a sign of moisture leaving the rice and it will give you a little bit of toasty wok-hey flavor.
It's really nice to see somebody comment about the maillard reaction🥰 Science is for EVERYTHING 💚
thanks
@@nervousbabbs2769 Science is everything
I actually cook my fried rice this way every time. It’s how my grandmother taught me. Also love the science reference ❤️
sorry, long ago i looked into the claim that egg white is 'pure protein', and it is NOT. Furthermore, the yolk find was that it was a bit higher in protein than the white.
He said the ingredients are listed below (9:45). But, they aren't. Here's my take on the recipe:
4 eggs, separated
2 cups white rice, cooked, made the previous day and refrigerated overnight
1 scallion or 2 green onions, chopped. (When chopping, separate white parts of onions from green parts; the white parts will cooked in with the rice. The green parts will be used as topping/garnish.)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
salt & pepper to season
chicken bullion to season (optional)
1/2 TBSB oil
2 slices Spam, about 1/2" thick each
granulated sugar, for coating Spam slices while pan-frying
1. Add 4 egg yolks to the cooked & refrigerated white rice and combine in order to coat each grain of rice with yolk. Set aside.
2. Sauté white parts of scallions and garlic in the oil over a medium high heat. Push to one side of pan when soft and starting to brown.
3. Add egg whites to the pan and cook until just set up while keeping separated from the scallions and garlic.
4. After egg whites have just set up, add rice/yolk mixture to the pan.
4. Mix yolk-coated rice, egg whites, scallions and garlic together.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir fry until all egg is fully cooked. Set aside.
[5.a. Alternatively, add chicken bullion to taste. Add sparingly as too much chicken bullion will overwhelm the egg flavors in the rice.]
6. Liberally coat both slices of Spam with sugar. Coat both sides and all edges.
7. Pan fry Spam slices until sugar is caramelized and slices are fully heated through. (Do not use oil; the fat in the spam will melt and facilitate frying.) Sprinkle additional sugar on the Spam slices during cooking as desired for added caramelization.
8. Top fried rice with the Spam slices and green parts of the chopped scallion.
Sending Aaron and Claire's channel some love for being the first place I saw this golden fried rice a long time ago. "More green onion, more better!"
“Don’t worry about it!!”
Take that Uncle Rodger 😆
I love the “cooking with Mikey” series SO much. It’s so laid back and chill. Good recipes
DUDE! I just did this.... I have never been able to make decent fried rice but I tried the mixing in the yolks and making the fried rice like this and it's like something out of a Chinese restaurant. This is amazing, thanks for the video. 10 out of 10.
Mike instead of using garlic, use shallots to fragment the oil, and soya sauce (instead of salt) and dark soy for color, and the secret ingredient oyster sauce , give that a try :)
I just mix the whole eggs into the cold rice. Stir fry whatever add-ins I want then dump the egg/rice mixture on top of it and go until everything is hot.
I was just about to comment same thing, that's how I do too just dump the egg and stir with everything I add in , guess been doing it wrong the right way whole time!!!
@@SS-lx3iv no no that’s definitely the best way to do it he just added weird steps that are unneeded
You end up with the same outcome doing the way every one seems to do it. Just dump everything into the cold rice and stir fry. Couldn't be bothered going through everything Mikey did. He has the time us mere mortals have real jobs to go to. I want fastness. Do it, eat it, job done.
Yup, me too. Definitely the easiest and best way to do it in my view
For larger groups this would be a very good idea.
Oh yea, 'bouncy fried rice' coming up! I cook amazing fried rice taught by my Hawaiian/Chinese Dad. Loved this and so happy I found you Mikey! Aloha from Maui!
Mikey finally clapping back at Uncle Roger.
Looking forward to Uncle Roger's reaction video.
@@GCohen9782 good luck with that !!
Mikey wins regardless of whatever 😂
@@csolo2041 Not so sure about that. I'm sure his rice is still good though.
@@GCohen9782 😂 yeah but if it comes down to a duel between the two I'd back Mikey up, but yes it would be interesting to see Uncle Rogs reaction, I prefer his MSG taste preference
I start with frying the rice and any greens and protein and some seasoning, then I mix in whole whisked eggs and stir fry until the eggs are at the doneness I want and maybe season a bit more if needed. So easy and doesn’t make the eggs weird and dry
I still use the rice cooker tomato trick i first learned watching you years ago! I love everything you do and I'm happy that the level of success you've had has enabled you to expand and keep making great diverse content! Much Love!
Looks yummy! My parents always made a well of rice in the wok, and cracked the egg in the middle, then coated everything in egg. I found a recipe from Marion’s kitchen, her garlic fried rice, which she uses kewpie mayo to coat the rice instead of egg yolks. After I found her method, I also do that combined with the way my parents cook it. Mayo and egg yolks are very similar so I can imagine this bringing forth similar results
Yes, because mayo has egg in it. it's basically egg and oil.
I was taught to make fried rice in a similar way in a class i took in Hong Kong pre handover in 1986, 2 whole eggs [always crack in a seperate bowl incase the eggs re off] per serving whisked with splash toasted seasame seed oil to taste, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, white pepper, salt and knorr chicken powder was the basic recipe. Now i like to add some chilli oil to give it some kick and a pinch of MSG. One hack i use now is to use packet microwave basmati rice if i want it now and have no leftover rice. For those that have any doubt this is the way the great Ken Hom makes his fried rice. I'll give your recipe a try and see, thank you for the video, take care, God bless one and all.
Ok
Knorr chicken powder has MSG in it. But if the additional MSG pinch is to add more, than no harm no foul!
To quote Phineas: "Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today."
I absolutely love to watch you cook and I have tried 2 of your dishes already so I know you are the deal
A friend in Seattle always added saffron to the broth when she made the rice. I know she added other spices in small quantities, but wouldn't ever tell us what they were.
One of our mutual friends told her he would buy anything she needed and give her $30 for a mixing bowl full of fried rice. That was almost 40 years ago, so it was a good deal.
She probably took a few tricks out of making paella, I guess. I myself would rather have a mediocre paella that the best friend rice. It's that good.
@@lucasmitchell9027, I'm not sure, and she died a few years ago. I do know that she compared recipes with a relative of mine that lived in Manila for decades? Her husband was Chinese, so she tried to learn all his favourite dishes, but I don't think he actually knew how they originally were made? Either way, both my friend and relative were wonderful cooks!
Saffron? That's some expensive fried rice.
These are the yokes, Mike's making dad yokes.
Very delicious fried rice recipe! Your instruction is very clear and it's very easy to follow! The fried rice looks golden color ! Thanks a lot for this wonderful upload !
Just made myself some with this method! Good stuff man. Fried rice is generally all I cook, and this really changes it up for me!
You can do more. Try rice noodles. So easy.
Maling is by far the cheapest version of Spam which is very popular in the Philippines and is my favorite spiced ham in a can til now.
It really goes well with egg fried rice and Pinoy Style Garlic Fried Rice.
A lot of Pinoy eatery have breakfast combo of Maling, Fried Rice and Sunny Side up egg called MalingSiLog [Maling - Sinangag (Fried Rice) - Itlog (Egg)]
That was amazing!You have no idea how much I appreciate this Mikey
You have no idea how much I appreciate this Mikey. Long time viewer, first time commenter. Love all your content! Keep it coming!
I always make my rice with chicken broth instead of water and spice it with saffron and chopped up sauteed onion. It makes a great fried rice the next day!
Yo, I ain't using saffron for a fried rice.
You do this for normal rice? White rice shouldn't be salty imo
I just made it this way, and it’s DELICIOUS!! This is the first time my fried rice has been the correct consistency. I don’t own a wok, and I always thought that was why it was always sticky, but NOPE! Thanks for sharing.
If it was sticky, im guessing you were using fresh rice? BTW, if you forget or don't have time to cook the rice the night before, you can cook fresh rice, spread it out on a baking tray and stick it uncovered in your freezer for perhaps half hour to an hour or two and it will dry out the rice as you want for stir fry. Stir fry with fresh rice is still yum, just more like risotto.
@@MaZEEZaM You are correct! I’ve tried recipes that say you don’t have to use overnight rice. But, I had leftover rice that I used this time. Thank you for the tip!
Joifully Natural, A properly seasoned cast iron or carbon steel pan makes for optimal outcomes in making fried rice. A carbon steel wok is ideal, but a fry pan can work too. I have never had good outcomes with any other pan material. Stainless and non-stick just don't cut it. These modern materials do not encourage the mallard reaction, and are not suited for high temperature cooking.
@@ivermec-tin666 Thank you very much for the tips! I will try it in my cast iron skillet. I do need to season it, though. I watched a few videos on how to, so I think I’m ready!
I love the way you prepared it and how it turned out. Thank you so much for sharing.
All your recipes are spot on Mikey! Thanks so much for making these videos 😄
That was amazing! That’s something I can get right.
That looks so good I don’t eat spam because it’s way too salty for me but I’m totally doing the rest of it.
I had no idea about this channel. RUclips recommended me this, glad they did because I am a fan and enjoy your travel videos.
Mike Chen!!!! It’s been a few years, but I’m so very happy you popped in to my feed to show me fried rice on the night I happened to be cooking said rice. You look good and I hope all is well with you and yours. I’ll be hitting up your channel after I make my rice for something to watch while I eat.
I've always made fried rice this way. My friends have foodgasms when i serve it to the point it's been nicknamed "heaven fried rice"
Did I miss something Mikey? The ring, did you tie the knot? If so congrats I wish you many years of happiness together!
He recently kinda addressed it. Yes, he is now married.
@@judykeown where did he address it?
@@babyycicii he briefly mentioned it on his Instagram.
@@kong7535 Ok. I don't do Instagram.
THANK YOU!!! I can't wait to try this hack.
Oooh so here for this one, thanks Mikey 😋
I did pseudo fried rice sort of this way. While cooking rice around the 80% doneness mark, I scramble some eggs and add it in with a dash of sesame seed oil. As my wife doesn't like the added oil to fried rice, I tries this as an alternative and she seems to like it.
Yeah she does
Your wife sounds like a picky b.Tch. Get a new one
Oh you guys have no idea...
I still make fried rice for myself at least, and I like this method.
@@HeadlessChickenTO lol sorry for being blunt. And goodluck with it
@@australianoutback
LoL, I wasn't...don't ask me why I married her, I can't remember.
Gotta go make some overnight rice NOW! I love this simple comfort food.
Wow Mikey, you are amazing!!! easy go to meal. I will definitely try this out
I can tell you were raised the right way! 🤣 Got that spoon out and scooped every grain of rice! I love it!!!
It's a shame that uncle roger will never review this recipe
They are NOT reviews. They are assignations. Nigel is building his career by stepping on the backs of others and even thew Mikey under the CCP bus
Million dollar question??? Will "Uncle Roger" approve of his fried rice 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Highly unlikely.
After uncle Roger deleted their video they did together… don’t think so.
The real question is, will he even dare to review it?
@@charlesr.8159
Who knows ???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Nice touch, can’t wait to try. Thx.
I did this on accident once. I realized immediately it tasted like Hibachi fried rice. With a bottle of sweet soy and heavy dose of crushed garlic and the proper mixings as well coating the rice with eggs will make this taste just as good as any Hibachi grill.
I normally throw in rice on top of the yolk eggs half cooked then start stirring frying until the rice turns yellow. similar style but different steps. I'll give this a try next time but I always use 6 eggs. 😂
So much for Alex’s master fried rice series!
Don't be silly, it's not even close to Alex's 😂
Can't underestimate what wok hei brings to a dish 😜
This is real comfort food. I am looking forward to giving this recipe a try. 😊
I love the enthusiasm.. deff gonna try this now
I was always taught to just whip the egg and add it last so that each rice is covered in eggs and that the eggs won’t be over cooked. Never heard a technique about cooking the eggs first and then putting them aside.
Sounds like cold eggs to me.
@@robert9595 why would they be cold? I've always done it this way too, I cook the rice in the pan with whatever else and then I add the beaten eggs and stir them into the hot rice as they cook. I might try the technique I've seen where you stir whole eggs into the rice before cooking but I think I'm too lazy to go around separating all my whites and yolks and cooking the yolks separately, even if it might taste better that way.
@@roseoznz i was talking about if someone cooks them first, like in the last part of guys comment.
@@robert9595 ohh yeah I see now
@@robert9595 They still wouldn't be cold because you add them back to the pan which heats them back up.
I've seen this on Aaron and Claire's Korean cooking channel. I had it in Seoul but didn't know why it was yellow.
You should try hot & spicy spam. It's the best!
I have also been seeing this on Aaron and Claire's channel for a long time. Don't know if they created it, but they deserve some credit. 🌝
Difference is that Mike has to eat his own food and react.. and also wash his own dishes afterward!
So delicious dish
Great tip and excellent video. I will give it a try. Thanks.
We've always cracked the eggs raw into the rice while frying instead of scrambling the eggs first and setting the cooked eggs aside but we do this out of laziness more than anything else. Just toss everything in and stir.
That's how I've always done it, too
Yeah I did it to coat the rice with egg instead of having rice rice with pieces of egg.
I think I've seen this method referred to as the "golden fried rice" technique.
You did
Oh wow I love this Mikey sme great tips snd turned out yummy ❤️🥰
Thanks for the tip Mike!
Love eggs... especially the yoks... whether in dipping sauces or in fried rice, hell yes the more the better!
Take a quick look at Sam the Cooking Guy this week. His Baked Breakfast Eggs might just hit the spot for you.
@@gyrene_asea4133 Yes, I saw that video as well
Egg fried rice eh? I know one pos who wont be reviewing this vid 😁
Looks great Mikey!
Love the puns and love the call out of the specific "hacks" and tips - water, yolk vs bullion, sugar and spam. Eggcellent video!
Tnx for the recipe, I have just try it.
It's really delicious!
Perfect timing! Hubby has been wanting me to make fried rice, I have tried several times before and it never turns out right, gets gummy... I'm going to try this! Thanks!
Never made it before now i will try i have cooked for 43 years but never fried rice :)
Something he didn't mention, is that the rice should always be cooked well in advance of preparation of the dish, then chilled or frozen before adding near the end of the cooking process. This will prevent the rice from being sticky, clumpy, or overcooked while still allowing for a super hot wok/pan.
At first I thought you were going to complicate a simple recipe, but seeing the results and the explanation that JiunnTyng Chen described, it won me over! Now I'd love to hear what Uncle Roger has to say!
Unfortunately Uncle Roger doesn’t have the cojones to comment.
My guess is that he'll be upset about the lack of MSG (since the chicken bouillon wasn't used on camera), but probably not enough to put his leg down from chair.
That looks so good! Thank you!
awesome! gonna try this out!
辣油在哪儿?🌶哈哈Jk love watching you cook, will definitely try this way when I make fried rice. Thanks for another video and the dad jokes
Did you add chicken boulion? What about sesame oil? Looks great though mate
I've never cooked rice before, but when I do, I'm using 60-70% of this recipe. Sounds amazing taste-wise.
Thanks for sharing, will deffo give this a go. Looks yum.
Can't wait for Uncle Roger's reaction(complaint). Obviously he'll point out that you didn't put MSG&Sesame Oil in it and didn't use a wok. Good video but kinda lacking in other items like meats and vegetables like Shallots/Onions. This is more of a quick fried rice recipe and still fast&easy to cook.
Uncle Rogers HEAD ASSPLODES! Seriously though, no soy? I dont think I ever seen a fried rice recipe without soy sauce (at least of some kind, if not both light and dark)?
I've done this a few times. It DOES improve the 'friedness' of the flavour, along with any other ingredients you might want to add!
Definitely the SUPERIOR fried rice!
ALWAYS add onions, (bulb &/or spring) & Knorr chicken powder for sure! The REST, add what you like! ( Even, * shudders * Spam! )
I just finished this recipe/technique. I had been making it wrong. This turned out excellent.
good work ! yummy with fried rice. Thanks for sharing your video
I think I missed it, when do you add the chicken bouillon?
I can't even remember what Spam tastes like but this looks delicious and it's easy enough I'm definitely gonna try it.
I will try this recipe. Simple and looks delicious 🤤
Dude! I'm blown away. Totally going to make this.
WHATTTTT!!!! THE RING MIKEYYY!!! OMGGGG! CONGRATS TO YOU AND CHRISTINEEEE!!!!!!!! I AM SO BEYOND HAPPY FOR YOUUUU!! YOU DESERVE THIS AND THE BEST FOOD PARTNER FOR LIFEEE!! ❤️🎉🥳🎊🍱🍲🍜🍣🎂💍
How did I miss the ring in all the other videos lol I guess I was too busy looking at the food😂😂😂
Mikey posted something about a wedding on his Instagram
Yeah he talked about it in a couple of his videos.
Uncle Roger should react 😆
he is too busy counting his CCP money to react.
Mikey, thank you for sharing a wonderful fried rice recipe!
I will for sure make this it looks soooo good. 🤤
It took me a while to figure out Scallions are called spring onions here in UK. Great recipe here many thanks we will be trying this out soon, I will have to convince my Malaysian wife to change her home cooking ways first!
Love the recipe - only thing i would suggest is cooking the spam FIRST and using the lard that renders out to cook everything else. Cause pork lard makes everything better.
On point, the family absolutely loved it and the kicker was the sugar and spam, Thanks
Most definitely wanna try this
You will
Can't wait for Uncle Roger to review this 😂👍
That CCP supporting douche won't.
Uncle Roger would say WHERE'S THE MSG? HAIYAH! I've seen many professionally done fried rice done in Japan by putting eggs and then tossing the rice in before it fully cooked then adding seasonings, meat and veg.
Sorry Children 😅
UR would say, "Sure JINPING, Whatever the CCP says. I'll cut off all ties with Mikey'
It's in the chicken bullion powder. The main ingredient is MSG.
This is the holy grail of fried rice. I cannot thank you enough. Been trying to make perfect fried rice for a looog time. First time with this and it’s perfect!!!
delicious cooking recipes, nice one for sharing
Uncle Roger is going to put his leg down when he sees this
Not after he opened his mouth for Jinping.
Uncle roger is coming for you !!!!!!!!! Wer the wok haaaayyyyy 👍👍
Doubtful after he threw Mikey under the CCP bus.
I can vow to this technique. Saw it once on a very scuffy japanese channel, but the results were just simply amazing. Can't judge a book by its cover.
Great recipe shared 👍
Going to try that some day, only adding a tiny bit of chicken bullion powder and Maggi.
Yeah, maggi is definitely going in rice always!
I think we need Uncle Roger to review this.
after he threw Mikey under the bus? unlikely
Wow! Amazing fried rice cooking. It's my fav breakfast.
this technique is pretty revolutionary, I don't know how you came up with it, but I can tell it will make fried rice so much better!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Love this mikey
Nice to know others do it this way. I already been cooking it this way. I learned this method from my mom. It's what I grew up with. ✌️ I usually throw in Chicken or Shrimp or Crab meat.
Just subbed to your channel! Can't wait to check out the rest of your content! Thanks for the great techniques!
So I just tried this by mixing the yolk into the rice first and holy moly you're right I was making fried rice wrong all this time! It just adds extra richness to the rice itself. Never going back, thank you!
