The rice was cooked in turkey stock I made from a free turkey.

I didn't have any teriyaki sauce so I made some. It's not as cost effective as buying it. It costs about three dollars to make 2/3 of a cup. But I can make it with stuff I already keep on hand and know that it's not made with cheap stuff or end up throwing away most of a bottle in the future.

Cost per person: $2 plus $1.25 for the dollar store egg roll.

The number of times I've fucked up friedrice should make me embarrassed, and I am, but I refuse to give up! Yours looks great.

Binge Uncle Roger fried rice videos. You will, at the very minimum, learn new ways to mess up fried rice. But you might also figure out how to perfect it.

But, as I told my wife today, "it's not fried rice. There is no egg." But it is a very close cousin of fried rice. Lol

Id like to see Uncle Roger cook a dish on his own. He's a comedian. I don't think he can cook. Like maybe something basic.

He's a restaurant owner and chef. He can cook.

You think? Have you ever opened a restaurant? I have been part of the process of two. Neither one can cook to the caliber of whom they hire.

You can do it! It's fairly easy. So put in the rice, preferably a day old, if not lay it out on a cookie sheet in the freezer, as it draws away moisture. Do this for like 5-8 minutes. Check on it. Then pull it out and let it come to temp. Collect it then you're ready.

Start by getting your wok or your pan hot. Do so by placing your hand near the pan to feel the heat. When it's to temp, lower the pan to medium high.

Add canola oil. Swirl it around. Long yao. Actually you know what check out Chinese demystified for fried rice we'll tell you how to do it. ❤️

Eh, in my opinion, it takes a lot to actually fuck up fried rice. There's really no "standard" way to do it. Just saute garlic and onions in oil/butter, throw in whatever veggies you have, then mash leftover (cold) rice and throw it in the pan. Add some soy sauce and that should be good enough at the minimum. Add an egg and sesame oil if you want to be fancy.
