3 Ways To Cook Rice And Make Egg Fried Rice
Inspired by BBC’s Egg Fried Rice video and reaction videos on YouTube
Not too long ago, I came across a video of a UK based Malaysian comedian who did a reaction video of a BBC host teaching us how to make egg fried rice. You can just Google it, it blew up that there’s an article on CNN about it.
Have to add that it blew up and now there are several reaction videos you can find by Asian YouTubers. Now you know how much attention the BBC host garnered that the Asian community is reacting to it.
I’m ashamed to say that as an Asian, I don’t actually know the right way to cook rice (even using the rice cooker) although I cook rice for my brother and me all the time. And he doesn’t complain. Until today, I found 3 different methods to make edible rice:
#1 Hersha from BBC’s Method
In the video, we see that she puts the uncooked rice in a pot with water and boil it over an induction stove.
“The rice not looking good, you lying to people. So wet” — Uncle Roger
After it boils, she pours it into a strainer and runs it over water. Now, this is the part I didn’t understand. Why would you do that??? Oh my goodness. However, she did mention she’s draining the excess…
