In Thailand, we normally make normal fried rice. Pineapple fried rice is kinda niche. To make it simple, 99% of our fried rice are non-pineapple version. However, I recommend trying the pineapple fried rice, that sour tint gives a really nice touch.
Yea I think he just has a guy that googles things but doesn't do deep research. I don't live in and have never been to Thailand but I know that pineapple bowls are not super common... they're not common anywhere in fact.
@@MrAnnoyingYouBadly I had some in Pattaya and Phuket far back, they used pineapple as a bowl actually. Since the pineapple meat is an ingredient in the menu, using the leftover helps with the flavor nonetheless. Also, the aesthetics. Well, you’re partly right, cuz some places really just dumped the pineapple shell. It’s uncommon cuz the pineapple bowl only exist for this menu in Thai cuisine.
@@PeberErawan The so-called “American fried rice” in Thailand is originated in Thailand xD. It just has American ketchup in it, that’s why it is called “American”.
As Chinese person, I just want to say you can put any left over in fried rice. Authenticity is over rated. Cook something beautiful and enjoy. Love you papa.
This reminds me of a vid made by Xiran Jay Zhao called "Why American Chinese Food Deserves Respect". Their perspective on why people need to get over this concept of "authentic" is really interesting and validating lol
As a thai person, it’s a pineapple fried rice look so good. This menu is hard to find in street food thailand. You can see this menu only in a tourist attraction restaurant or expensive restaurant.
@@HomeWorkouts_LS in Thailand the street food I had when there did have cashews but didn’t have pineapple and didn’t have an option for pineapple fried rice
lol As a Thai person, that was the most tourist trap looking fried rice I've ever seen in my life! Normally, the fried rice we eat everyday don't have raisins or pineapple in them. But hey, I'm sure it tastes amazing though! I appreciate the effort!
Its quite common, maybe not not now a day but 20+ years ago you can find it in most restaurant. ข้าวอบสัปปะรด (pineapple fried rice) ข้าวอบเผือก (Taro fried rice) อะ you know?
As a Thai person, I think that traditional Thai fried rice is so rare in our country. It's too much work and too expensive and it can only be found in very fancy restaurants, which is too expensive(and even the very fancy ones don't have it and they just cook Chinese fried rice) for most of the Thai people, but I have had Thai fried rice and it's very delicious and perfect for Thai people's taste.
What makes this fried rice more expensive than other dishes? Honest question, I am curious. I love thai food but a ton of dishes use prawns and they are not exactly cheap where I live
@@loati94 No, it isn't that pricey. It's simply too much hassle. Maybe it's a Thai mentality, in particular when the economy is awful (as it has always been), but we try to avoid putting too much effort with our main staples like fried rice. Another reason is that if you live outside of the city, we tend to buy fruits in bulk, which makes them pricey due to a scarcity of retailers. This is also our mentality: fruits are considered "unnecessary," although not a luxury, so we tend to stock up on necessities like cooking oil, eggs, rice, pork, chicken, and green vegetables before doing anything special.
I don’t think it‘s that expensive. I just think most place that have this dish taste bad and/or soggy. Though I thought that we topped it with shredded pork? หมูหยอง?
As a Thai person I think maybe we lived in different universe, pineappo fried-rice isnt that rare , dont need to be in fancy restuarant and it’t not that expensive either you just have to go to right Thai cuisine restuarant and lot of them have it in the menu.
@@loati94 it’s a “show-off” dish. Presented in a pineapple and all. Prawn are not cheap even in Thai standard. It’s cheaper than many country, yes. But compared to chicken or pork, seafood are considered a premium.
There is actually not a standardized version of fried rice in Asia. It commonly uses any ingredients you can find in the house. I wouldn't specifically buy ingredients just to cook fried rice, unlike restaurants that serve fried rice.
Pretty much like any other stir fry there is no "right answer" to what you should put in your fried rice. Make do with whatever you have on hand or toss in what you think you'll like. That's another reason why fried rice is something you'll find in most cultures that eat rice. It's a very quick and simple dish that you could even use to repurpose any leftovers you have lying around. It's very diverse.
Thats what asian cuisine is about cuz we all got similar dishes but all made with ingridients from the respective countries which is bautoful in my opinion
There literally is a standard though, I read that in the city of Yangzhou they have a rule that restaurants must follow a specific recipe or their fried rice can't be called "Yangzhou fried rice". This is probably done to preserve the local tradition.
a tip for your rice, mix the egg wash on your overnight rice first, this will coat every single grain perfectly, just like they do in Din Tae Fun restaurant. As for Thai fried rice the one you made is indeed the "tourist trap fried rice", try a good Khao Pad Pla Kem (fried rice with salted fish) it's much much better (just don't cook it when your neighbours are around)
As a Chinese, I partly disagree. Not every dish needs additional MSG. In my family we never use additional MSG and our food taste amazing as well. But then MSG also exist in many processed food and seasonings, like in soy sauce, salad dressing, etc. I'm tired of people singling out Chinese food as THE ONE cuisine that uses MSG.
I'd love to see you branch out into more cuisines, I love the Asian cuisine recipes but I'd love to see more recipes from European, African, South American countries as well. Love the content
I use a combination of both methods when I make mine at home. Jasmine rice, protein, eggs, garlic, ginger, soy and fish sauce, cooking wine, and whatever veggies I have floating around. Usually onions and peas. Cilantro and basil. Pineapple and Chinese sausage go incredibly well together if you have them handy.
Is pineapple common in fried rice? I worked in a thai restaurant for a while and most of the chefs were thais, we never put pineapple in anything except curry
Chinese and Thai cuisines in Thailand have coexisted for such a long time that it sometimes becomes difficult for Thai people to really distinguish which is which. Having grown up in Thailand, I for one am really glad that I got to eat some of the most amazing combinations of the bests of both worlds.
Just a really small nitpick: when adding the sauce, you want to "splash" it against the side of the wok while mixing. This ensures an even distribution of sauce.
Wow! Thai pineapple fried rice you nailed it Josh 🎉 That’s like a restaurant style. The details and knowledge you have is amazing and you even prepared it with Prik Nam Pla which we add this condiment in almost every Thai dish 😁 Pineapple fried rice is often more popular to tourists, we have other styles of fried rice which I think more similar to the Chinese one (plus much quicker to prepare) and we serve with Prik Nam Pla as well but also pair with a slice of lime (which for pineapple fried rice, it’s already acidic and a bit tangy from pineapple..can skip the lime) Thanks for sharing another awesome video. Very much admire Joshua. And it’s amazing how fast he can speak hehe 😄
Traditional Yang Zhou (aka the province of Yang) fried rice doesn't have soy sauce. Only 50 seconds in, but would still happily eat either shown in thumbnail and based on Weissman's rep for skillfully created food.
I can hear Uncle Roger, 'Onion!!!!? Onion for poor people! Use shallot!' 'Haiya no MSG?!?!' I feel the Uncle title being taken back any moment now. But that does mean a Josh and Uncle Roger cooking video in the aftermath so a win win.
We do have another Fired Rice call "American Fried Rice ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน "( but it's Thai dish) with is Rice stir fired with Siracha suace mix with ketchup and add some reisin, serve with Fried Chicken , Sunny egg and Sausage.
Whenever I get Chinese takeout I like to order extra boneless spare ribs and a side of white rice, both of which I include in my homemade fried rice. The ribs provide the tasty char siu in bite sized pieces (you can chop them obviously) and the rice is usually cooked perfectly. The other steps are simple :)
I think the only people who wouldn't like the Thai one better are people who don't like fruit in their rice, the first time I had it done right was life changing it was a brown rice dish with pineapple and toasted coconut with a flank steak marinated in a citrus based marinade, so good and one of my favorite grill recipes now I do the steak on the grill while my wife makes the rice.
Fried rice is a staple in Asian cuisine. To amplify the flavors, you can always more ingredients to the mix. We trust Joshua Weissman with his own recipes. He just knows what he’s doing.
Josh been speeding through his videos ... as a newer viewer it's not that the videos are too long ... just don't care to look at b-roll so much..at the end. Love how much you share Josh. We appreciate it.
This is the first time i see a youtuber make Prik nam pla, basically, it's like a ketchup or mustard, we eat it with almost everything. Good work josh!
My dad makes his own version and most people have said it tastes the best. I won't go into measurements, because you can literally just add or take away as you like. So, far it's my favorite fried rice to date. He starts off by chopping up carrots, green onion(leaving the green part to the side for garnish), cabbage, celery, garlic, and/or sometimes whatever veggies he has on hand. First heat oil on high heat, then add carrots, celery, and any other veg that takes 2-3 minutes longer to cook. After that, add the cabbage, garlic, green onion, and stir it for another 2-3 minutes. Next add the the rice(standard chilled for a day). Add a few teaspoons of water to help lightly soften the rice. This is such a nice touch to get some slightly fluffier rice, even if there are a few clumps that form. I promise those will be the best part to eat! Toss and lower heat to medium, high. He doesn't pre-measure he just does it by heart into the wok, but he will add soy sauce, oyster sauce, small amount of dark soy sauce for color, msg(can skip this and it will still taste amazing), and some seasame oil. Lightly toss this around, then push rice off to the side to cook egg(like the chinese style innthis video). Once your eggs is scrambled, toss into rice. He'll finish up with white pepper and a small amount of granulated sugar. Toss again and let rice set. Turn heat up to high and let some of the rice on bottom crisp up(just don't let it burn. It onyl takes like 2-3 mins again. Turn heat off. Add the green part of green onion in and toss. Serve immediately topped with a small amount of sriracha, lime wedge, and some fresh rinsed and lightly pat dried bean sprouts(the idea is to not put dripping wet bean sprouts on top). Also, serve with a small side dish of cumcumber slices! Note: You can also add whatever meat you want, but he makes it without since I do not eat meat and also he stopped witht he eggs for me, because eggs make me sick. If cooking with meat, you should start off with cooking it first and then removing to the side to toss in around the time the eggs finish cooking. You should try it!!! It's got a crazy amount of flavor and texture to it. Its soft yet, some crispy part.
As a Thai person, I would call that a pineapple fried rice. a regular Thai fried rice typically has chinese broccoli, eggs, tomatoes, your choise of protien, and garnish with green onions. serve with fresh cucumbers, green onions, and chili/garlic fish sauce.
Chinese, Thai, Indian and Japanese food in general are all so unbelievably delicious ... They are always so flavorful and rich. I envy those who have them available easily in their countries ..
I still remember the first time i had Thai fried rice. I was 13 years old and it was the first week of May and i had found the meaning of life. It is now a core memory
Authentic pineapple fried rice would add a shredded pork on top to add some more texture and a touch of sweetness to the dish but the way you cook this is a top notch
You did a very good job for pineapple fried rice. As a Thai growing up in Chon Buri where our local food is heavily influenced by Thai Chinese, believe me, it's not really difficult to find pineapple fried rice. I've had many pineapple fried rice in Chon Buri (Not in Pattaya or tourist crowded areas) for more than 20 years. My grandmom cooked it sometimes when I was young. 🙂You can find it in a local/homemade seafood restaurant here in Chon Buri. I don't know why it's quite famous for foreigners but some Thai people still think this is a tourist or expensive food which is not true!
I love your content! I have been watching for a few years and made several things from the channel. It would be super cool if you felt like sharing or doing a section for healthy and easy meal prepping!
There're one more THAI fried rice, it's called Khao Pad American (American Fried rice) . It's fried rice(with Carrot, Pea, Corn and raisin ) seasoned with Soy sauce, Sugar ,Ketchup /optional pepper. served with Fried chicken(coating/without coating) , fried egg, sausage(extra point if it's in octupus shape) and tbh, as Thai ppl I never eat that khao pad pineapple before lol
You realize he is not a cook right? He is just some influencer over acting. Pretty annoying overall in approach to just make content, towards the go get a job direction.
It’s funny talking about Thai and Chinese cuisine at the same time because some of the best Chinese cuisine I’ve ever had was actually in Bangkok at the Bangkok China town night market
I first found Josh when I was looking for a fast, foolproof way of making eggs Benedict. I thought... if some pimpled young guy speaking into a cupboard can do that, I certainly can! Been hooked on his educational & entertaining videos ever since... And now I kinda have a crush... By the way, I killed that eggs Benedict! Thanks, Josh!
prik nampla is basically just pepper+fishsauce so in case someone is extra lazy that’s all u had to use to make one (it taste better over time you left it) and it is also a preference so it’s also up to you to have it
Actually, you could find that version of Thai friedrice in the cook-shops around Bangkok's China town which are cantonese or chinese - european style restaurants.
As a Thai person, I have never eaten fried rice with cashew and pineapple. Tomatoes aren’t really common either. I’m not that triggered by this, but I’m sure some people are. Anyways, it should still probably taste good and have a nice presentation tho.
Every Thai place I've been to or looked up a menu for has some version of pineapple fried rice. Some have cashews and some have peanuts but I've always it in some capacity
I am so tired of Josh saying you can't use fresh cooked rice! I make fried rice all the time and use freshly cooked rice, 10 minute old rice, leftover, rice,etc. The thing depends on how you prepare your rice. I make fried rice on purpose, so I cook my rice with less water in a rice cooker. BUT I have used full cooked rice and it still comes out good. Basmati rice is my favorite for fried rice. Great flavor and very easy to make! I feel like Josh is one of the people who think you can't stray from tried and true, but you most surely can! I love Alton brown because he taught me the science about cooking and OWNS up to things he said that were wrong in the past haha.
You can actually use freshly cooked rice. It has to be spread out on a plate/tray while it's still hot for few minutes to allow some surface moisture to evaporate.
Nah homie that shit needs to chill for a couple hours /minimum/ or else it's just going to clump up. So many ways you can make fried rice easier but pretty much the entire point is using leftover rice from the day before.
There's no garlic or soy sauce in "Yangzhou style" fried rice. Also better if defrost frozen peas before stirfrying them... But f it there are too many stereotypes about what "style" a dish should have. Everything a dish needs to be, is delicious.
Mmmm technique and ingredients looked really good for the chinese version. Nice job Josh! Fried rice is very versatile, you can really just throw in whatever veggies and protein you have lying around.
I love your awesome humor/personality 😄😅!! I totally enjoyed this, I love both rices but... if I had to choose? I would choose thai, with basil and spicy is my absolute favorite fried rice.
I love both types of fried rice but honestly given the choice I prefer South East Asian fried rices over Chinese ones. They add so much more spice that packs a punch of flavor that many Chinese fried rices just don’t have.
Right ingredient and good technique for pineapple fried rice One ingredient that maybe added to pineapple fried rice is Moo Yong (หมูหยอง / dried shredded pork) However you make my ancestor smile
I'm Thai. In my opinion, the main different btw Chinese fried rice and Thai fried rice is cooking sauce. Chinese fried rice uses soy sauce. Thai fired rice uses fish sauce. About pine apple fried rice, this is a version of Thai fried rice.
Pineapple fried rice is literally my favorite thing in the world next to shawarma. But I have developed a pretty severe egg allergy, I think I’m gonna do this recipe with the “just egg” replacement. Thanks papa for making dreams come true
In fact you CAN use freshly cooked rice, just add less water to cook your rice so it won’t be bumpy. Because you will stir fry the rice later so it won’t be undercooked either. I learned this from a channel owned by a Chinese state banquet chief. He said they didn’t risk using overnight rice out of food safety concern, so instead they just use drier rice. I think using overnight rice is more like a tradition because Chinese households always have leftover, but it is not a necessity.
It's true, less water and spread the rice and let them cool down would work. It's normall to have the leftover rice in the Chinese orThai households, so, for us, especially for the home cook, it's always the leftover rice in the fridge for the fried rice.
I think you need way more seasoning for that amount of food. For the Chinese style, like another tbsp of soy sauce and 1-2 tbsp of oyster sauce. At least.
You can use jasmine rice for Chinese style as well, most Chinese rices are long grain, short grain sushi rice are only more common in northern China(but they don’t really eat that much rice to begin with), also Korea, Japan and Taiwan(because of Japan) eat short grain
You can definitely use jusmine rice for the Chinese stylefried rice. In Thailand, when we think of fried rices, we usually think of them as the Chinese food. Even though many fried rice recipes were created in Thailand, mostly they were created in the Chinese restaurants, and it's normal to use jasmine rice for any of the fried rice recipe here.
I've got an idea for a show: But Healthier. So you take signature things (Big Mac, Stuffed Crust Pizza, etc) and try to make them healthier. That's the first part. So you compare calories per slice or overall etc. But THEN you also have to do a taste test between them. Not only do they have to be healthier, they'd have to taste better, too. That'd be a challenge.
Small tip on heating wok, you should always heat up the wok before putting oil in, and if you want it to be more professional, rinse the wok with oil, dump the oil, then add more cold oil in. In that way, the wok will be seasoned nicely and it won't stick, and also the oil won't be too hot so that aromatics like garlic won't burn.
I'm Chinese so of course I'm biased as to what I prefer, but I'll take fried rice wherever I can get it. I also love Thai fried rice, and the Indonesian version Nasi Goreng. Mmmmmmmm!
Wow, finally, someone uses Char Siu in fried rice( Have never seen it in any English fried rice video so far…until now), although I haven’t seen any Yangzhou fried rice with onion or carrot…… But still, good And I haven’t seen curry pineapple fried rice with raisins(Not against it though) or tomato( Also the ones that I have tried usually have Chinese Sausage, or something similar to that, can’t tell, not an Asian sausage expert…..), but now you got me craving for curry pineapple fried rice. With unique fried rice, there is something called kuo lao fried rice（闊佬炒飯, Rich guys’ fried rice）, egg whites, scallops, shrimp, asparagus, sounds weirdly healthy, but it actually tastes pretty good. (P.S, can you do Tonkatsu VS Pork Schnitzel- Japanese fried pork cutlet Vs Viennese fried pork cutlet)
A few notes X is a sh sound, not s sound Chashu is the Japanese pronunciation. Char shu or caa (ts sound for the c) siu (see-ew) are the mandarin and cantonese pronunciations
i'm a chinese person but i have to say, when it comes to fried rice, i give it to the thai people.. i'd eat that any day haha. that being said, yes pineapple fried rice is hard to find but the regular thai non-pineapple fried rice found on the streets of thailand is divine! every bite has so much wok hei and a variety of diced vegetables too, awesome.

Next add the the rice(standard chilled for a day). Add a few teaspoons of water to help lightly soften the rice. This is such a nice touch to get some slightly fluffier rice, even if there are a few clumps that form. I promise those will be the best part to eat!
Toss and lower heat to medium, high.
He doesn't pre-measure he just does it by heart into the wok, but he will add soy sauce, oyster sauce, small amount of dark soy sauce for color, msg(can skip this and it will still taste amazing), and some seasame oil. Lightly toss this around, then push rice off to the side to cook egg(like the chinese style innthis video). Once your eggs is scrambled, toss into rice.
He'll finish up with white pepper and a small amount of granulated sugar. Toss again and let rice set.
Turn heat up to high and let some of the rice on bottom crisp up(just don't let it burn. It onyl takes like 2-3 mins again. Turn heat off. Add the green part of green onion in and toss.
Serve immediately topped with a small amount of sriracha, lime wedge, and some fresh rinsed and lightly pat dried bean sprouts(the idea is to not put dripping wet bean sprouts on top). Also, serve with a small side dish of cumcumber slices!
Note: You can also add whatever meat you want, but he makes it without since I do not eat meat and also he stopped witht he eggs for me, because eggs make me sick. If cooking with meat, you should start off with cooking it first and then removing to the side to toss in around the time the eggs finish cooking. You should try it!!! It's got a crazy amount of flavor and texture to it. Its soft yet, some crispy part.
As a Thai person, I would call that a pineapple fried rice. a regular Thai fried rice typically has chinese broccoli, eggs, tomatoes, your choise of protien, and garnish with green onions. serve with fresh cucumbers, green onions, and chili/garlic fish sauce.
Where's the MSG Joshua..... WHERE'S THE MSG JOSHUA!!!
Here before Uncle Roger gets here... And I gotta say, this is promising.
except no MSG, thats already points off
@@linker94 That correct.
Chinese, Thai, Indian and Japanese food in general are all so unbelievably delicious ... They are always so flavorful and rich. I envy those who have them available easily in their countries ..
I can't wait to see Uncle Roger's review! Please don't disappoint us! ❤️
My thoughts exactly Alice!
He will roast the hell out of both recipes as they're both extremely far from the traditional counterparts. I can't wait to witness his rage. 🤣
No MSG. Gonna be messy
He put the sauce over the rice instead of pouring it down the sides of the wok when making the Yangzhou version
You know he’s already reviewed Josh’s fried rice, right?
spoons / grams explanation is very much appreciated! 🙏thank you :)
This is one of the few cooking channels that I don't have to watch on 1.5x - 2x speed. Thank you for your ADHD inclusion kings.
For sure but sometimes he does overdo it, his last video comes to mind
Exactly
oh wow same you are right!
This comment is so on point.
My ADHD ass wishing he'd stop with all the distracting shit.
I still remember the first time i had Thai fried rice. I was 13 years old and it was the first week of May and i had found the meaning of life. It is now a core memory
I live in Thailand, literally have never had that pineapple rice stuff, it’s tourist rice.
Authentic pineapple fried rice would add a shredded pork on top to add some more texture and a touch of sweetness to the dish but the way you cook this is a top notch
I really like Thai basil fried rice. Especially when it is quite spicy.
You did a very good job for pineapple fried rice. As a Thai growing up in Chon Buri where our local food is heavily influenced by Thai Chinese, believe me, it's not really difficult to find pineapple fried rice. I've had many pineapple fried rice in Chon Buri (Not in Pattaya or tourist crowded areas) for more than 20 years. My grandmom cooked it sometimes when I was young. 🙂You can find it in a local/homemade seafood restaurant here in Chon Buri. I don't know why it's quite famous for foreigners but some Thai people still think this is a tourist or expensive food which is not true!
I love your content! I have been watching for a few years and made several things from the channel. It would be super cool if you felt like sharing or doing a section for healthy and easy meal prepping!
There're one more THAI fried rice, it's called Khao Pad American (American Fried rice) .
It's fried rice(with Carrot, Pea, Corn and raisin ) seasoned with Soy sauce, Sugar ,Ketchup /optional pepper.
served with Fried chicken(coating/without coating) , fried egg, sausage(extra point if it's in octupus shape)
and tbh, as Thai ppl I never eat that khao pad pineapple before lol
Uncle Roger bout to "HIYAAAAAAAAA" dafuq outta this & i'm here for it
You realize he is not a cook right? He is just some influencer over acting. Pretty annoying overall in approach to just make content, towards the go get a job direction.
Jasmine rice is all I use on everything! It’s beautiful!!
Love your videos Josh, I also can't wait to see Uncle Roger's reaction to this.
Gotta love Joshua Weissman's falsetto singing skills
I searched up fried rice recipes on RUclips and an hour later Papa Josh posts a fried rice video 😳🥵
“Two fried rice, one man. Don’t go to that website.” Brilliant.
OK Time for another new Uncle Roger Weejio lets go!
It’s funny talking about Thai and Chinese cuisine at the same time because some of the best Chinese cuisine I’ve ever had was actually in Bangkok at the Bangkok China town night market
Fried rice is just like Italian Pizza.
Uses leftover ingredients.
Popular among the folks.
now here’s a chinese fried rice process i can get a hang of!
everything in one place! same time. *chef’s kiss* 👌
Your chinese fried rice technique has activated uncle roger. Prepare yourself.
I'm lucky enough to work at a restaurant that has all the ingredients for the pineapple rice. I try to make it for everyone once a week, so good🤤
Sir, you know better than to dump your sauce in the middle. You pour it around the food on the steel of the wok.
Uncle roger would be proud of you.
I first found Josh when I was looking for a fast, foolproof way of making eggs Benedict. I thought... if some pimpled young guy speaking into a cupboard can do that, I certainly can!
Been hooked on his educational & entertaining videos ever since... And now I kinda have a crush...
By the way, I killed that eggs Benedict! Thanks, Josh!
Could this be what finally makes a Gordon Ramsey collab happen? All I can think of is Gordon’s fried rice on Uncharted.
prik nampla is basically just pepper+fishsauce
so in case someone is extra lazy that’s all u had to use to make one (it taste better over time you left it)
and it is also a preference so it’s also up to you to have it
1:08 You know he's american when he calls that genetically modified monster of an onion a "small onion". You wouldn't have that in Europe.
There are no genetically modified onions in the US.
there are no GMO onions
I literally was like "that's a SMALL onion?" >.>
I don’t know how to cook anything. Now I’m gonna learn from your channel Ty
Was all in until I saw the Raisins and you lost me. Hate raisins. Will have to try without! Thanks!! Looks really good though.
1st video I ever had to slow to .75 in order TO COMPREHEND!!!!!! Great job!!
You mention these two are your favourite versions, but for me it's Nasi goreng, the Indonesian fried rice. 😍
Gotta LOVE the "B" roll! Thank You!
Can't wait for Uncle Roger to review this :D
Actually, you could find that version of Thai friedrice in the cook-shops around Bangkok's China town which are cantonese or chinese - european style restaurants.
As a Thai person, I have never eaten fried rice with cashew and pineapple. Tomatoes aren’t really common either. I’m not that triggered by this, but I’m sure some people are. Anyways, it should still probably taste good and have a nice presentation tho.
Yeah I dont really know why raisins are in there too I've never seen those in friend rice before.
Another Thai here. We definitely have this. I ate it so many times myself.
Lived in Thailand for 18 years now, and what you said is accurate.
Every Thai place I've been to or looked up a menu for has some version of pineapple fried rice. Some have cashews and some have peanuts but I've always it in some capacity
Love to see Josh making American fried rice.
I am so tired of Josh saying you can't use fresh cooked rice! I make fried rice all the time and use freshly cooked rice, 10 minute old rice, leftover, rice,etc. The thing depends on how you prepare your rice. I make fried rice on purpose, so I cook my rice with less water in a rice cooker. BUT I have used full cooked rice and it still comes out good. Basmati rice is my favorite for fried rice. Great flavor and very easy to make! I feel like Josh is one of the people who think you can't stray from tried and true, but you most surely can! I love Alton brown because he taught me the science about cooking and OWNS up to things he said that were wrong in the past haha.
You can actually use freshly cooked rice. It has to be spread out on a plate/tray while it's still hot for few minutes to allow some surface moisture to evaporate.
I’ve done it that way before but put it in the fridge for at least 2 hrs.
You don’t want some moisture to evaporate, you want almost all moisture to evaporate
A quick 30 minute blast in the freezer spread on a sheet pan works pretty well.
Yeppers Kenji proved this on serious eats, infact 1 hour of evaporation with a fan lead to the best result, followed by fresh, then day old rice.
Nah homie that shit needs to chill for a couple hours /minimum/ or else it's just going to clump up. So many ways you can make fried rice easier but pretty much the entire point is using leftover rice from the day before.
Im seeing a pattern of josh’s thumbnails making josh’s face the center of it all
Lol, nobody has fried rice in a pineapple in Thailand but you guessed who, tourists.
I'm thai and i didn't know ppl use pineapple for fried rice???
Nah! As a Thai, I confirmed that we order it at restaurants for family dining too.
Cheers🍺
We have. Just not that common.
As a thai person , i ate this dish a lot😂
It has pineapple fried rice in Thailand!! I am Thai
I would love to see teppanyaki-style fried rice vs Thai basil fried rice!
Uncle roger would be very proud 🥲
There's no garlic or soy sauce in "Yangzhou style" fried rice. Also better if defrost frozen peas before stirfrying them... But f it there are too many stereotypes about what "style" a dish should have. Everything a dish needs to be, is delicious.
pls don't call pineapple fried rice "Thai Fried Rice".😮💨
Mmmm technique and ingredients looked really good for the chinese version. Nice job Josh! Fried rice is very versatile, you can really just throw in whatever veggies and protein you have lying around.
After 6 years of living in Asia, I've literally never seen onions being used in any Chinese style fried rice. Garlic is also a bit questionable
Then Asians are fucking up somewhere because why the hell would you *not* want onion and garlic
People use what is available. That's why you get so many different styles. It's fried rice = Life
I love your awesome humor/personality 😄😅!! I totally enjoyed this, I love both rices but... if I had to choose? I would choose thai, with basil and spicy is my absolute favorite fried rice.
I love both types of fried rice but honestly given the choice I prefer South East Asian fried rices over Chinese ones. They add so much more spice that packs a punch of flavor that many Chinese fried rices just don’t have.
Right ingredient and good technique for pineapple fried rice
One ingredient that maybe added to pineapple fried rice is Moo Yong (หมูหยอง / dried shredded pork)
However you make my ancestor smile
You should do a spicy fried rice next please 🙌🏾
Just make fried rice & add more chilli-
Just add spicy condiment of your liking (i.e. Sriracha, chili crisps, etc)
I'm Thai. In my opinion, the main different btw Chinese fried rice and Thai fried rice is cooking sauce. Chinese fried rice uses soy sauce. Thai fired rice uses fish sauce.
About pine apple fried rice, this is a version of Thai fried rice.
josh makes the thumbnails like we’re 6 y/o’s and i don’t like it
Pineapple fried rice is literally my favorite thing in the world next to shawarma. But I have developed a pretty severe egg allergy, I think I’m gonna do this recipe with the “just egg” replacement. Thanks papa for making dreams come true
I'm the thirtieth..👌
😁👍
😁😁😁😁💣💣
😅😅😅😅
In fact you CAN use freshly cooked rice, just add less water to cook your rice so it won’t be bumpy. Because you will stir fry the rice later so it won’t be undercooked either. I learned this from a channel owned by a Chinese state banquet chief. He said they didn’t risk using overnight rice out of food safety concern, so instead they just use drier rice. I think using overnight rice is more like a tradition because Chinese households always have leftover, but it is not a necessity.
It's true, less water and spread the rice and let them cool down would work. It's normall to have the leftover rice in the Chinese orThai households, so, for us, especially for the home cook, it's always the leftover rice in the fridge for the fried rice.
The thumbnail is already a promise of good things to come
Love watching this while eating homemade Japanese fried rice and some sushi
I think you need way more seasoning for that amount of food. For the Chinese style, like another tbsp of soy sauce and 1-2 tbsp of oyster sauce. At least.
You can use jasmine rice for Chinese style as well, most Chinese rices are long grain, short grain sushi rice are only more common in northern China(but they don’t really eat that much rice to begin with), also Korea, Japan and Taiwan(because of Japan) eat short grain
You can definitely use jusmine rice for the Chinese stylefried rice. In Thailand, when we think of fried rices, we usually think of them as the Chinese food. Even though many fried rice recipes were created in Thailand, mostly they were created in the Chinese restaurants, and it's normal to use jasmine rice for any of the fried rice recipe here.
I've got an idea for a show: But Healthier. So you take signature things (Big Mac, Stuffed Crust Pizza, etc) and try to make them healthier. That's the first part. So you compare calories per slice or overall etc. But THEN you also have to do a taste test between them. Not only do they have to be healthier, they'd have to taste better, too. That'd be a challenge.
You inspired me to create my own channel. Love.💟💟💟
🤣🤣🤣
Small tip on heating wok, you should always heat up the wok before putting oil in, and if you want it to be more professional, rinse the wok with oil, dump the oil, then add more cold oil in. In that way, the wok will be seasoned nicely and it won't stick, and also the oil won't be too hot so that aromatics like garlic won't burn.
Also, you would want to put in your soy sauce from the edge of the wok so it cooks first.
finally this video. been waiting since the instagram story
I'm Chinese so of course I'm biased as to what I prefer, but I'll take fried rice wherever I can get it. I also love Thai fried rice, and the Indonesian version Nasi Goreng. Mmmmmmmm!
Wow, finally, someone uses Char Siu in fried rice( Have never seen it in any English fried rice video so far…until now), although I haven’t seen any Yangzhou fried rice with onion or carrot…… But still, good
And I haven’t seen curry pineapple fried rice with raisins(Not against it though) or tomato( Also the ones that I have tried usually have Chinese Sausage, or something similar to that, can’t tell, not an Asian sausage expert…..), but now you got me craving for curry pineapple fried rice.
With unique fried rice, there is something called kuo lao fried rice（闊佬炒飯, Rich guys’ fried rice）, egg whites, scallops, shrimp, asparagus, sounds weirdly healthy, but it actually tastes pretty good.
(P.S, can you do Tonkatsu VS Pork Schnitzel- Japanese fried pork cutlet Vs Viennese fried pork cutlet)
I try watching this video in order to learn how to. BUT IT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE GIVEN THE SPEED OF THIS GODDAMN THING. WHY. SO. FAST. MY GOD.
I ended up making fried rice with leftover lime cilantro rice I used for burritos, it was sooo good.
A few notes
X is a sh sound, not s sound
Chashu is the Japanese pronunciation. Char shu or caa (ts sound for the c) siu (see-ew) are the mandarin and cantonese pronunciations
i'm a chinese person but i have to say, when it comes to fried rice, i give it to the thai people.. i'd eat that any day haha. that being said, yes pineapple fried rice is hard to find but the regular thai non-pineapple fried rice found on the streets of thailand is divine! every bite has so much wok hei and a variety of diced vegetables too, awesome.
