I'm excited to cook kimchee fried rice even though I've never officially cooked rice before. I've never felt more confident after a video than this one and I hate cooking.

I was a professional chef for 10 years and I have to say (this being the first video of yours I have watched), you rather brilliantly weaved the most basic pre-made options for the most novice of cooks with fabulous options and instructions for someone who is comfortable with cooking for themselves. Fantastic, educational video on such a great staple dish!
Thank you so much I’m disabled and my hubby does almost all the cooking but watching you has given me the bug I can sit and prepare the food and also sit and cook the fried rice so I’m going to make my husband a meal for the first time in forever thanks for being so easy going and explaining why you do stuff xx
8 yrs ago I attempted chicken fried rice. It was a disaster. Wife gave me a negative 10 out of 10 and warranted. This video came across my feed this week. Watched and made fried rice tonight. Feel like a master chef now. Wife rated tonight's fried rice 8 out of 10. Thank you.
Hey, I've been in kind of a depressive episode but this helped me cook a nice meal for myself when a lot of things have been seeming impossible recently. Thank you.
i love how approachable the channel is, suggesting not to follow the recipe, using what you have, alternative ways of doing things, the humour. the taste tester is fun too, she has good insights, glad to have found the channel!
Seriously, got this 1 on a Random. So Inspiring. I dont even cook but want to try it now. Good thing i just bought a 20lb bag of Jasmine Rice from Costco. Plenty for trial and error. Lol Count me in as a sub aswell. 👌👍
Korean fried rice is basically leftover food/unfinished food for later.. nothing like the fired rice youll would find from China or the south east asisns
I know this is super simple for you, but I genuinely am supremely appreciative of your effort! It’s been SO expensive and hard for me to both afford to feed my family, and keep up with making different fresh, nutritious recipes for a low dollar amount. Extra long recipes can also take a toll on me as I’m severely disabled and get overwhelmed easily and quickly. You breaking things down to the most simple way possible helps me so much, and I’m sure it helps out many others!
I've seen hundreds of cooking shows on RUclips but your show is only one of few shows that makes me want to cook with you. And I DO! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for helping me quit fast food diet and cook my own food.

Love that when Aaron says its 5 minutes, it´s actually five minutes. Not like other chefs that says "quick preparation" and then spend hour on preparing ingredients alone.
@@budjy1 I bought pre-cooked rice few times, its edible, depending on brand can be even good. Basically you just open the bag, put it in microwave and heat it for two to three minutes, so you can make it with this and still take circa 5-10 minutes. Recipes like these are also great when you have leftover cooked rice and dont know what with it. Egg on rice or fried rice makes for good early dinner.
2 years stationed in Korea and 2 years stationed in Japan trying to learn how to cook fried rice and eventually settling on a way that kinda works for me based on what i learned and it still ends up being packy and after watching a few of your videos, I finally figure out what I've been missing. Thank you so very much!
The way Aaron says "...if you don't have it, don't worry about it..." I love it! It is the spirit of cooking, or making anything on your own. We are NOT factories. We are human beings making food for ourselves and families. Why do we need to worry too much about following whoever. Yeah, it may come out different if we missed a particular sauce or something but why bother? This is your dishes. You or your family would like it because you spent efforts making it. It may taste different from how Aaron cooks it, or how Roger cooks it, but who can say which is best? You haven't tasted theirs, nor have they tasted yours! If you find it not tasty enough for you or family, add it back next time, or change other variables. That's the fun of cooking!
Yeah, it's a great way of saying you don't have to go about it exactly as the recipe says. Just use what you have and season to your liking. That's been my MO on cooking for years.
For years I made fried rice badly by following my intuition as to the best sequence of process. Since watching this video I've been making it this way, and the results are immeasurably better. Thank you for explaining it.
Am just 13 but now am a fried rice expert 😋 Now I am the one who makes fried rice whenever guest comes since its very easy and extremely delicious 😋😍 Thank u so much 💓
For those afraid of "fishy taste" in fish sauce: Worcestershire Sauce and Caesar Dressing both have fish in them, anchovies to be specific. So you already like some kinds of fish sauce, just try a different country's.
Whaaat? Never knew that Also, to add to this: I’m Asian and I don’t really like seafood and actually hate the smell of fish sauce :p but together with food??? Absolutely delicious!!!! Oyster sauce is indispensable in my kitchen now! It adds sooo much to the flavor profile
By it's self, fish sauce is strong but it's mostly salty. A little bit of it really deepens the flavor of whatever dish you add it to, and it does not taste fishy at all. If you add to much at will very very salty and strong of anchovy.
I made the egg friend rice for my family and they absolutely loved it. It's my go to when I'm hungry but don't wanna cook for too long or when I wanna get rid of leftovers.
One of the best cooking videos i have yet to see. Starts with your basic ingredients, and adds upon that...which means you get to understand how it goes together. And makes it as simple as possible.
My favorite part is all the encouraging language you use! "Don't worry, trust me, I'm here for you guys." Even your shirt saying "I'm rooting for you!" I definitely feel confident after watching your video. Thanks! P.S.: Claire is so lucky lol!
Thanks for the video! Nice and easy to follow. I just surprised my Chinese wife with the shrimp fried rice and she absolutely loved it! It came out a little more brown than the video, probably slightly too much soy. And we don't have fish sauce so I used a tiny splash of Chinese cooking wine, it which I have a lot, and it turned out great. A very happy wife, haha! ❤
i love that you put no pressure on the viewer to follow your ingredients and methods directly, but instead do what works for them best while still following the routine
Dude, Just finished a bowl of the 5 minute egg fried rice. You've convinced me and you now have another fan. I used the pre cooked rice because that was what was in the cupboard and replaces oyster sauce with sesame oil because I had the sesame but not the oyster. I love the way you simplify things so much. I see more Asian cooking in my future.
@@recoveringsoul755 I made it using about 125g of rice since my pack of rice is 250g. I have no idea if that's too much or too little but it turned out pretty good.
@@jazzysocksdude I checked my bag of rice, it says one serving is 1/4 cup dry, or 45g. So all the recipes that call for using 1 cup of dry rice, that's 4 servings or 180g. I usually cook that much, but since i eat one meal a day, I'll eat half of it. 3/4 cup cooked is what one serving is supposed to be so I'll eat 1 1/2 cups cooked. Oh was your pack of rice already cooked? I didn't weigh mine after cooking it. Where is my scale....
I have a huge tub I mix Long Grain rice with Jasmine. YUMMY! It is almost impossible to find short grain rice here, even Asian store does not carry it :( But I have a bowl of yesterdays rice drying out in fridge for my fried rice. Evidently after watching you I have been making Korean fried rice for 30 years. For mine I mix eggs and rice, add in green onions, green/red peppers, sweet onion, and some times I chop up ham or sausage in it. Add a lot of pepper and some salt. I put sesame seed oil, garlic and butter in pan, then add eggs. I then take cheese and cover the eggs. Then start stirring it up, scramble. YUMMY! My husband adds salsa or hot sauce on top.
Him: i recommend to use a long grain rice like jasmine, but you probably don’t have a ton of rice variations Me, who has jasmine rice as my main rice: ohohoho
Thanks from Romania 🇷🇴, Europe! Among other recipes like this, yours is #1, I keep it in the "useful" section🏆.Here we make ONLY boiled rice together with 2-3 vegetables and poultry.
Ya know, I was cooking myself a fish fillet but had no sides to go with it. I had some white rice on hand, as well as some egg and bacon, and thought “maybe this could be good” so into the pan with my fish oil and seasonings I added some soy sauce, teriyaki and the bacon with an egg, making some of the best fried rice I’ve ever had. It’s crazy that upon finding this video, I discovered I basically made fried rice exactly the way you’re supposed to. But that’s really all cooking is huh? Seeing some things you like and thinking to yourself “this’ll probably be good”
Your video was SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!! Loved listening to your voice and I love Clair too!!! What fun :-) I'm looking forward to trying Kimchi fried rice, Clair sold me on it.
This is a terrific channel. I think I'm going to be saying "Don't worry about it" with a particularly confident Korean accent rather a lot from now on.
Well I'm amazed I have everything you need I need for any dish you had made I buy diced carrots I use brown rice I use olive oil and I have everything else oyster sauce fish sauce soy sauce I pick up Just in case one day I would need it and always make sure the expiry date before I start using them Aaron n Claire you are both quite a great team thanks for this awesome video and for sharing your cooking with us
I know this is old, but I just recently found your channel. Subscribed after this vlog. I made fried rice your way and it's the best I've ever made, thank you. I've never put the rice in the eggs, never used oyster sauce, and never used jasmine rice. Man did that make a difference. Even the leftovers were awesome. Thanks ❤️👍🏾.
Never too old, when it's new to you, like it was to me 🤗 Easy and delicious! I'm also using chicken and pork now, still easy and delightful taste. Spring onions are great! Bon appetit!
I love your shirt. Its so positive. Edit: After cooking with your suggestions the whole family loved it! The fish sauce was great. Even ppl who hate fish didn't find a fishy taste just like you said.
I stumbled upon this video yesterday morning, and by evening I had cleaned a few years of dis-use from my wok and had eaten the best fried rice I have ever tasted! By now I've subscribed and watched about ten more of your videos! Thank you, Aaron for making fabulous simple and easy, and thank you Claire for being the most adorable test subject on youtube! Now, I've gotta run to the store and stock up on Spam and green onions!
Soo after watching this video over and over, I realized that you can adjust every recipe to include other ingredients to match your preference. I got comfortable enough doing these recipes now that I've basically started freestyling on the fried rice, and my nieces and nephew wants me to come over to make lunch for them now every weekend as a result 🤣
I love seeing all the success stories in the comments here of people who are getting into cooking because you make it so simple!! Stir frys and fried rice can be daunting for some people because there's so many ingredients and possible sauces, cooking time frames, etc. But the recipes are SO versatile & you break it down so well. I'm so glad people are being inspired to experiment and try new things (and succeeding at it!).
Hey - I just want to say that my 8 y/o granddaughter and I made this with veggies we had in the fridge like you said, and she chowed it right down! Thanks so much for posting!
Him: i recommend to use a long grain rice like jasmine, but you probably don’t have a ton of rice variations Me, who has jasmine rice as my main rice: *ohohoho*
I've always added egg to the rice on the pan, and my day old Jasmine rice often comes out sticky when I fry it, so maybe mixing eggs first would help... 🤔 And definitely will try the potato trick!
It won't be sticky but the grains will harden overtime. What I always do is fry the scrambled egg first then set it aside and cook the fried rice, adding the cooked scrambled eggs a few seconds before finishing
@@lordrald09 For me the egg is just what you use to cool down your pan so it stops stinking up your house. If your pan is 375 - 400F with at least a spoon of oil, your egg will fry perfect in a single instant and cool your pan at the same time.
I make fried rice all the time since were living on SSI and don't have much money for luxury meals. I saw a video from a cooking show and they deep fried the rice before steaming and it worked great but next time I'm going to use your egg rice mix method #1. Thank You, just subscribed for more. I don't know why people think Fish sauce is fishy, it's just tastes salty because it's made from Anchovies. Oh and just for reference: in English 1 Shrimp, 1000 Shrimp there is no such English word as Shrimps. I trick I learned by accident is to buy, drain and freeze blocks of Tofu. When thawed slightly squeeze out any moisture because after freezing it has millions of air bubbles in it and acts like a sponge and you can put it in any kind of flavored liquid and it will soak it all up almost instantly then cook it anyway you want.
i think too many ESL (English as a Second Language) speakers are too self concious about their grammar, accent, and vocabulary. English is one of the few major languages in the world where there are more secondary speakers (people who learned English after a native language) then primary speakers (native english speakers) and its the worlds most widely spoken language, so there are so many people with accents that it doesnt matter. As far as grammar, english is a mess so few people notice or care about poor grammar and the same goes for vocabulary. I have a friend in his 90s who moved to the US from Germany during WW2, he's spoken mainly english for almost his entire life and _still_ has a thick german accent, so its not unusual
I’ve made my first fried rice with this video Each time I was worrying during each steps of this video I remembered Aaron’s wise words: *Dont woawy about it I’m here for you guys*
Oh my, that first green onion rice is exactly how fried rice is in Chinese food in Ireland, where you can choose between this and white rice for your meal. I moved to America and overwhelmed by the fried rice, which is very brown and always has pork and it’s a meal! I can never have just green onion again. Green onion is king, I will have to try that first method at home 🌾
Ok so, met a Chinese woman that immigrated to LA to open up a restaurant. 30 years later she has 3. She taught me how to make fried rice. Problem is it turns out like mush no matter what I do. When she helped me make it? Spot on. On my own? I am missing something. I can make PERFECT sticky rice. She advised me to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours, maybe overnight. It's after this I fail. Edit: You figured it out for me! I know what I am doing wrong! I put the veggies in BEFORE the rice! It makes it mushy due to the excess water! AHH! Thank you so much!
What i Particularly like most about this video is that, although Aaron cooks the meals for Claire, Claire has the respect to clean the dishes in the end
I really appreciate the end scene of your wife cleaning the dishes, that's how it works in my house. I cook she cleans, she cooks I clean! love the videos!
Thank you so much, Aaron and Claire! This was such an easy recipe to do and it's so delicious! I played around with some different ingredients and I now, with the oyster sauce, add a bit of soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil, as well as a bit of brown sugar. I whisk those ingredients with the eggs and then add the rice as you instructed. I also add some minced garlic to the green onion oil right before I add the rice mixture, otherwise the garlic will burn. Just some suggestions for anyone else that wants to take your delicious and easy recipe further!
I watched this 20 odd minutes ago. Went straight to the fridge where i had left over boiled rice i cooked last night. I followed your instructions . . . and i have never made fried rice like this before. Just wolfed it down, and It was just perfect. I thought i had just bought it from the Chinese Restaurant. Perfect . . . thank so much 😃

i love that you put no pressure on the viewer to follow your ingredients and methods directly, but instead do what works for them best while still following the routine
I like how he talks with his hands, keeps my brain entertained and focused for some reason
Inner Italian Unlocked
This is why italy is famous 😂😅
Honestly speaking it’s not distracting but engaging.
watch chrisfix car videos... they are probably hand gesture brothers
Dude, Just finished a bowl of the 5 minute egg fried rice. You've convinced me and you now have another fan. I used the pre cooked rice because that was what was in the cupboard and replaces oyster sauce with sesame oil because I had the sesame but not the oyster. I love the way you simplify things so much. I see more Asian cooking in my future.
How much rice is in there? I usually make rice and hAve leftovers in the fridge. About a cup?
@@recoveringsoul755 I made it using about 125g of rice since my pack of rice is 250g. I have no idea if that's too much or too little but it turned out pretty good.
@@jazzysocksdude I checked my bag of rice, it says one serving is 1/4 cup dry, or 45g. So all the recipes that call for using 1 cup of dry rice, that's 4 servings or 180g. I usually cook that much, but since i eat one meal a day, I'll eat half of it. 3/4 cup cooked is what one serving is supposed to be so I'll eat 1 1/2 cups cooked. Oh was your pack of rice already cooked? I didn't weigh mine after cooking it. Where is my scale....
I have a huge tub I mix Long Grain rice with Jasmine. YUMMY! It is almost impossible to find short grain rice here, even Asian store does not carry it :( But I have a bowl of yesterdays rice drying out in fridge for my fried rice. Evidently after watching you I have been making Korean fried rice for 30 years. For mine I mix eggs and rice, add in green onions, green/red peppers, sweet onion, and some times I chop up ham or sausage in it. Add a lot of pepper and some salt. I put sesame seed oil, garlic and butter in pan, then add eggs. I then take cheese and cover the eggs. Then start stirring it up, scramble. YUMMY! My husband adds salsa or hot sauce on top.
Made this twice perfectly. Loved the directions, quick and down-to-earth personality. This is a family fav now. Thank you
"Claire!"
"Huh?"
No doubt about it. Claire has the best job in this video. Amazing work, enjoyed!
I wonder if Claire's busy sometimes, and thinks - "What?!!" LOL
So now I know my mistake. When to add the egg.
But she has to earn it by doing the dishes
"Don't worry about it."
Instantly stops worrying. 😊
Him: i recommend to use a long grain rice like jasmine, but you probably don’t have a ton of rice variations
Me, who has jasmine rice as my main rice: ohohoho
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Him saying "don't worry about it" makes me feel like everything is ok.
Same
Thanks from Romania 🇷🇴, Europe! Among other recipes like this, yours is #1, I keep it in the "useful" section🏆.Here we make ONLY boiled rice together with 2-3 vegetables and poultry.
congrats for being the 1st youtuber to convince me to actually cook the recipe im watching :')
That's good to hear! Cheer for you! 🤞😁 Don't forget to check the written recipe for more details. 😊 aaronandclaire.com
update from 1 year later, my parents love your recipes they keep asking me to cook this for them when they are in the mood for some fried rice 😁😁
This is the only RUclips cooking I enjoy watching. You’re both so happy and so positive it’s contagious. “Don’t worry about it :)”
Thank you so much for enjoying our videos!! 🙏😆
"Don't worry about it" I need Aaron to be my life coach bro
Same. Makes me think I can do this and anything else!
@Penumbra It's Korean.
Ya know, I was cooking myself a fish fillet but had no sides to go with it. I had some white rice on hand, as well as some egg and bacon, and thought “maybe this could be good” so into the pan with my fish oil and seasonings I added some soy sauce, teriyaki and the bacon with an egg, making some of the best fried rice I’ve ever had. It’s crazy that upon finding this video, I discovered I basically made fried rice exactly the way you’re supposed to. But that’s really all cooking is huh? Seeing some things you like and thinking to yourself “this’ll probably be good”
I like this comment
@@regretfulrat5787 I like your comment!
@@greatbriton8425 Thanks!
This was a complete professional tutorial. Now, i feel like a pro!
Your video was SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!! Loved listening to your voice and I love Clair too!!! What fun :-) I'm looking forward to trying Kimchi fried rice, Clair sold me on it.
@Testsi : Then you're a lousy cook, so thank you for not inviting me to one of your crap meals.
Seriously, with pre cooked rice? it´s not professional.
I'm here for yoy guys...
wow you must be a big fan of the colonels secret recipe. im cool with it.
This guy really wants us to succeed, even his shirt says "I'm rooting for you".
He has been picked up by the Food Network for a new series called, "Go F Yourself."
The “don’t worry bout it” reminds me of Italian mafia “fuh-getta bout it”
"hey im walking over here"
haha same
I love the hand camera too when he’s talking... just like an Italian 😂😂
lol...i was thinking the same when he said it.
This is a terrific channel. I think I'm going to be saying "Don't worry about it" with a particularly confident Korean accent rather a lot from now on.
Are u still doing it a year later ?😅..its my new phrase 😅
It’s such a kick to hear Aaron echo, “Claire?” And her sweet and appreciative “Mmmms,” are adorable. I love you two!
My favorite of the show too.
i love the way you say “don’t worry bout it” very reassuring lol
i love it when he calls "CLAIRE"
bruh i wish i was his roommate getting yelled at to come eat food.
@@eskitv1509 same bro!!!
😀😀😀
I really respect the way Claire gives such detailed feedback on each dish 🌵💗
Well I'm amazed I have everything you need I need for any dish you had made I buy diced carrots I use brown rice I use olive oil and I have everything else oyster sauce fish sauce soy sauce I pick up Just in case one day I would need it and always make sure the expiry date before I start using them
Aaron n Claire you are both quite a great team thanks for this awesome video and for sharing your cooking with us
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
I just made the best fried rice I've ever eaten and it only took 5 minutes in my own kitchen.
BRAVO!!!
I think "don’t worry about it!" is becoming my favorite sentence in the whole universe because of you.
Don't worry about it!! 😍😍😍 More power to you!! 💪💪😘
L i
“Don’t worry about, I’m here for you” is now what I’m telling everyone always about everything. Good video will make this rice.
I know this is old, but I just recently found your channel. Subscribed after this vlog. I made fried rice your way and it's the best I've ever made, thank you. I've never put the rice in the eggs, never used oyster sauce, and never used jasmine rice. Man did that make a difference. Even the leftovers were awesome. Thanks ❤️👍🏾.
Never too old, when it's new to you, like it was to me 🤗
Easy and delicious!
I'm also using chicken and pork now, still easy and delightful taste.
Spring onions are great!
Bon appetit!
Idk why this was in my recommendations but I'm subscribing lmao
Same🤷😂😂😂
same
HAHAHA! I was just thinking that and then I saw your comment. I subbed too!
I love how chill and helpful this is for beginners without judgement! Thank you so much!!
I love your shirt. Its so positive. Edit: After cooking with your suggestions the whole family loved it! The fish sauce was great. Even ppl who hate fish didn't find a fishy taste just like you said.
I stumbled upon this video yesterday morning, and by evening I had cleaned a few years of dis-use from my wok and had eaten the best fried rice I have ever tasted! By now I've subscribed and watched about ten more of your videos! Thank you, Aaron for making fabulous simple and easy, and thank you Claire for being the most adorable test subject on youtube! Now, I've gotta run to the store and stock up on Spam and green onions!
Soo after watching this video over and over, I realized that you can adjust every recipe to include other ingredients to match your preference. I got comfortable enough doing these recipes now that I've basically started freestyling on the fried rice, and my nieces and nephew wants me to come over to make lunch for them now every weekend as a result 🤣
When he literally said *"bye bye lots of dishes"* okay I'm in the right cooking yt channel lol
The person doing dishes had long hair, Claire?
Literally just found this video and made the egg fried rice - it was the best fried rice I have ever made at home! Absolutely blown away. Thanks
Me: *reads title*
Me: *whispers* take notes BBC
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO way too funny
😏
Exactly what i was thinking too... Lol...
“BBC stand for big black co-“
8:00 I was today years old when I found out that nothing makes Aaron happier than cooking for his friends
Thats so wholesome :)
"Bye Bye" lots of dishes. This guy knows how I like to cook.
I love seeing all the success stories in the comments here of people who are getting into cooking because you make it so simple!!
Stir frys and fried rice can be daunting for some people because there's so many ingredients and possible sauces, cooking time frames, etc. But the recipes are SO versatile & you break it down so well.
I'm so glad people are being inspired to experiment and try new things (and succeeding at it!).
Hey - I just want to say that my 8 y/o granddaughter and I made this with veggies we had in the fridge like you said, and she chowed it right down! Thanks so much for posting!
Claire:”I don’t want fishy smell in the house!”
Aaron: “Don’t worry about it!”😜
🤣🤣🤣
Him: i recommend to use a long grain rice like jasmine, but you probably don’t have a ton of rice variations
Me, who has jasmine rice as my main rice: *ohohoho*
hehe same 😎
Ha I was thinking the same thing. We're just a different breed 🤣
Ditto. 5lb bags at a time.
Jasmine, my favorite.
My people!
So I worked for years in the cooking industry and I love these kind of videos because there's always something new to learn.
I've always added egg to the rice on the pan, and my day old Jasmine rice often comes out sticky when I fry it, so maybe mixing eggs first would help... 🤔 And definitely will try the potato trick!
Hope it turns out great next time!!! 🤞🤞🥰
It won't be sticky but the grains will harden overtime. What I always do is fry the scrambled egg first then set it aside and cook the fried rice, adding the cooked scrambled eggs a few seconds before finishing
Uncle Roger will growl you because you cooked the spring onion first lol Spring Onion is garnish ONLY 😂😂😂
@@lordrald09 For me the egg is just what you use to cool down your pan so it stops stinking up your house. If your pan is 375 - 400F with at least a spoon of oil, your egg will fry perfect in a single instant and cool your pan at the same time.
You gotta use day old refrigerated rice. It shouldn't come out sticky, i cant do the egg coat, I like my eggs lightly marbled not scrambled
Aaron: Don't Worry If You Don't Know How To Cook Rice
Me: Ok
My Mom: Why There's Rice On The Floor?
Me: Don't Worry About It
Hahaha xD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy gotta make a “don’t worry about it” shirt.
I would buy one.
He's apparently from the Brooklyn side of Korea.
Koreans with a Bronx accent
I make fried rice all the time since were living on SSI and don't have much money for luxury meals. I saw a video from a cooking show and they deep fried the rice before steaming and it worked great but next time I'm going to use your egg rice mix method #1. Thank You, just subscribed for more. I don't know why people think Fish sauce is fishy, it's just tastes salty because it's made from Anchovies. Oh and just for reference: in English 1 Shrimp, 1000 Shrimp there is no such English word as Shrimps. I trick I learned by accident is to buy, drain and freeze blocks of Tofu. When thawed slightly squeeze out any moisture because after freezing it has millions of air bubbles in it and acts like a sponge and you can put it in any kind of flavored liquid and it will soak it all up almost instantly then cook it anyway you want.
Am i the only one who finds their accent and sometimes missgrammar charming. And I love how nice and polite they are.
them people
Your grammar ain't perfect? Donworryboutid!
I like nice people;) ☆ ..happy n upbeat souls they are♡~>
i think too many ESL (English as a Second Language) speakers are too self concious about their grammar, accent, and vocabulary. English is one of the few major languages in the world where there are more secondary speakers (people who learned English after a native language) then primary speakers (native english speakers) and its the worlds most widely spoken language, so there are so many people with accents that it doesnt matter. As far as grammar, english is a mess so few people notice or care about poor grammar and the same goes for vocabulary. I have a friend in his 90s who moved to the US from Germany during WW2, he's spoken mainly english for almost his entire life and _still_ has a thick german accent, so its not unusual
I’ve made my first fried rice with this video
Each time I was worrying during each steps of this video I remembered Aaron’s wise words:
*Dont woawy about it I’m here for you guys*
Was it good
@@reneerenee4034 yess😋
Oh my, that first green onion rice is exactly how fried rice is in Chinese food in Ireland, where you can choose between this and white rice for your meal. I moved to America and overwhelmed by the fried rice, which is very brown and always has pork and it’s a meal! I can never have just green onion again. Green onion is king, I will have to try that first method at home 🌾
I love these videos! Fried rice is such a lovely and easy meal! I can see why you love cooking for Claire! She enjoys a good meal! ❤️
I love this man. So upbeat and positive. He enjoys cooking and sharing his cooking. It’s clear to see.
Mixing the rice with the pre-cooked eggs is a game changer. Love it.
I like how he tells me not to worry. Calms my anxiety
Downt werry abowt et!
Hahaha same! I'm a nervous cook
Ok so, met a Chinese woman that immigrated to LA to open up a restaurant. 30 years later she has 3. She taught me how to make fried rice. Problem is it turns out like mush no matter what I do. When she helped me make it? Spot on. On my own? I am missing something. I can make PERFECT sticky rice. She advised me to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours, maybe overnight. It's after this I fail.
Edit: You figured it out for me! I know what I am doing wrong! I put the veggies in BEFORE the rice! It makes it mushy due to the excess water! AHH! Thank you so much!
What i Particularly like most about this video is that, although Aaron cooks the meals for Claire, Claire has the respect to clean the dishes in the end
Hey, who wouldn't wash a few rice bowls for that kinda food?
I'm with Claire, I love sunny side up eggs on my rice! Breaking the yolk in just makes it taste even better!! ❤
Tell me about it! 🤤🤤🤤
I really appreciate the end scene of your wife cleaning the dishes, that's how it works in my house. I cook she cleans, she cooks I clean! love the videos!
Thank you so much, Aaron and Claire! This was such an easy recipe to do and it's so delicious! I played around with some different ingredients and I now, with the oyster sauce, add a bit of soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil, as well as a bit of brown sugar. I whisk those ingredients with the eggs and then add the rice as you instructed. I also add some minced garlic to the green onion oil right before I add the rice mixture, otherwise the garlic will burn. Just some suggestions for anyone else that wants to take your delicious and easy recipe further!
His T-shirt says "I'm rooting for you" and his lovely self keeps saying, "Don't worry about it". This is the ASMR I've been looking for.
This is not ASMR
What a nutter.
@@jaymjacinto There's no such thing as ASMR anyway.
@@NoTaboos There is just sears it up on RUclips and what I think the person meant is that it made them relaxed to watch the video???
I loved the time-lapsed dishwashing at the end! Makes it way more real. 😝
I'm definitely going to try this method. Thanks!
no problem
I watched this 20 odd minutes ago. Went straight to the fridge where i had left over boiled rice i cooked last night. I followed your instructions . . . and i have never made fried rice like this before. Just wolfed it down, and It was just perfect. I thought i had just bought it from the Chinese Restaurant. Perfect . . . thank so much 😃
