Honestly, I just use whatever rice available, fresh or leftover.
Or you can use rice that is less sticky
Very unrelated but my parents have the exact pan/wok (I really don't even know what it is) as you in the video
Thank you for sharing your father recipes and tips. Have a nice day ❤
Somebody tell uncle Roger lol
I frequently use fresh rice to make fried rice. Less water is the key.
Yeah I've been making fried rice for years and in my opinion it tastes better with fresh rice. The reason why you leave rice overnight is when you cooked regular steamed rice from another meal, and have left overs. If you're making rice specific for fried rice, you can just use less water.
I do remember reading somewhere though that letting a starch like rice to chill over night makes the starch easier to digest. Other than that, don't see any other benefit.
闊佬炒飯pls?
Pretty sure your dad could cook a 10 course banquet in a cave with a box of scraps and a carrot. My incompetent self will continue to use day old rice 😂
how come the father doesn't speak any word of english ever? Is he too shy? Can't believe the man, after all these years, couldn't learn some english…
This is because the starches in rice.are a type of resistant starch.. after being cooked, the starch chains partially break down, but when they are cooled, they can connect again. Never the same as before, but they can. This is why refrigerated rice can have a "crunchiness" to it. Reheating it in the microwave can break down some of the starch chains again, but not much, and they've already been changed so much, they are resistant to breaking down again. That's why fresh rice is so soft, but even reheated rice is still firm. This is also why overnight rice acts different from fresh rice. It's probably why he says microwaving it first helps.
Hey, love your content, but I think you need better instructions for the water to rice ratio here. Usually you need to put more water per cup of rice for smaller amounts of rice. For example if you need 8 fl oz for 1 cup rice, you might only need 12-14 fl oz for 2 cups, rather than 16 oz. This is because the water lost to evaporation doesn't scale linearly to the amount of rice.
I prefer fresh rice as well. Less water is a must, but soaking the rice before cooking for 30-60 minutes before cooking is also important. It ensures that the rice cooking process is done evenly throughout each grain. Love your family videos! Such a joy to see family traditions be passed down to the next generation. Beautiful family! Thank you for sharing 🙏
ive always wondered why i couldnt get my fried rice the way i got it from a resturaunt.. this info is gunna be a game changer for me. thankyou!
Its so harddd to perfectly cooked rice, for fried rice. Well master lau is an expert.
Another key that i've heard was many prefer to use "steamed rice" (cooked using literal steamer) instead of rice cooker-cooked rice for the fried rice. Steaming dries the rice up a bit so it wont stick much and because it's fresh, the taste is better and fresher compared to leftover rice (which tends to be hard). Many restaurants supposedly use this method in their fried rice, resulting in fried rice that doesnt stick yet having freshness only found in newly cooked rice. Obviously this takes longer time and more labor intensive for us home cooks so leftover rice would reasonably be our best choice. Cheers!!
Omg thank you for addressing this issue. I prefer to use fresh rice for all the same reasons. I'm a cook if I have overnight rice i always microwave it before stir-frying.
This is my favourite channel. I'm small business owner and I make shirts I wish I can achieve a lot of success and happy life have a blessed day.🍻
看餓了 (╥ω╥`)

the truth is overnight rice has less water content, you can do the same for fresh rice by cooking it with less water
First boii
Thank you for another great tip, love this channel❤️
