Shadowing Practice: Uncle Roger Roasted This Chef. HE RESPONDED - Learn English Speaking with Video

Ah Uncle Roger are you okay?

Nephew Nigel, what kind of basement is this?

Why the stairs so steep?

Niece and nephew first video of 2026

Welcome to Uncle Roger new home this creepy basement today We're

gonna review nephew Barry Lewis again last time he made the saddest Sogiest fried rice.

But this time he said he's taking Uncle Roger advice and recreating it.

Let's see if we improve.

Today I'm attempting to make a better egg fried rice and if you're gonna be a nephew, nephew Barry, you might as well do it properly or at least try and do a botched version.

Orange polo, nice.

Uncle Roger love it when people dress like me.

Who put full stop after their name?

Right, I feel like I work at a summer camp.

I couldn't find an official Uncle Roger egg fried rice recipe.

What?

Unless I've missed it.

No, you missed it in Uncle Roger 3 million subscriber video.

I make egg fried rice use that recipe.

The creator that I enjoy, Joshua Wiseman, is actually quite good pals with Uncle Roger, and has actually done his egg fried rice, but better.

It looks absolutely good.

I'm called Josh our recipe not bad also.

There are some quirky ingredients in this.

So there's rice, eggs, oil, some shallots instead of onions.

Okay, not too bad.

But then it get onto some really interesting things.

Sweet soy sauce.

I've never seen sweet soy sauce before.

Double aged soy sauce.

Something called sambal and even something called galangal.

Yes, I have 100% pronounced that wrong.

But to give myself the best chance possible, yesterday I popped to a massive Asian supermarket.

We are going to Asian supermarket to buy ingredients.

He already puttin more effort in than Jamie Oliver This place is massive

This place so massive you even got dentist and ear clinic in there Nice!

That's the good thing about Asian supermarket Just go there and you can do everything

Look at all of this soy sauce This is crazy

I don't know what lemon sauce is but I want some of

that Sweet soy sauce this might be the biggest bottle I've ever seen Looks like a beer

but that will do That is Galengal, amazing That's the one I need Sambal Olek.

Apparently.

Never knew there were so many sambals.

But I couldn't get the aged soy sauce.

There's so many there so I've got this.

Ah, Kim Lan brand.

Kim Lan is soy sauce brand from Taiwan.

Kim Lan is real soy sauce, but Taiwan, not a real country.

Ayya, so many mosquitoes in my basement.

I'll tell you what, some of those ingredients in there, I really could not have got hold of in my standard supermarket.

Even got myself a proper wok.

Wok nice, Fuyo!

And look how excited he is.

This is the best unboxing video.

Fuck little kid in their PS5.

This is a carbon steel one, and I think we've got a seasoning.

I've never done that before.

I found some carbonara bacon noodles, and something called Calpis soda.

Ooh, that's nice.

That tastes like- Don't get distracted, ADD nephew.

Make your fire rice.

And this is the premium dark soy sauce, which cost an absolute fortune, but the guy was raving about it in there.

Yep, that looks like chili paste, all right?

This is the sambal.

Smells really good though.

All right, so, like ginger.

It looks just like ginger.

No, galanggau is not ginger.

Hopefully it tastes like creamy Sprite.

No, don't try, no. Gosh.

That's like eating a tree.

It tastes like tree and it going back for seconds.

This guy crazy.

No. Let's try the Sambao Sambao, sure you can try straight Oh that's...

Wooo!

Haiya, don't pee pussy Little bit of Sambao, fuck you up Oh, that's lovely Really intense Where is this from?

It's from Taiwan but bottled in Nottingham There's someone in Nottingham in England Putting Marmite in that bottle

It's from Taiwan and then bottled in Nottingham

That Taiwan and Nottingham Two of the most different places One is beautiful

and full of culture And the other one is Nottingham But what about this much thicker Thicker sweet soy sauce

Ooh, that's gorgeous!

I hope you wash your hand first before you finger your soy sauce like that Thicker sweet soy sauce Oh,

that is not salty at all That is pretty much like a black honey

That's the name of Uncle Roger's favourite stripper Good memories!

So we can actually overnight chill our rice Giving it a good old...

You're washing rice, correct Starch Oh wow, look at that colour change Once I was happy with the drain Wee-oh, rice cooker, nice!

From the bowl, which was one of the most fiddliest...

This must be one of the first time white people take Uncle Roger advice and use rice cooker.

...water and getting the rice cooker going.

By washing off the starch, hopefully we're gonna stop it sticking together so much.

Er, look at the rice all cut together, it's not!

I was genuinely a little bit worried.

Oh!

I don't know about this, look, it's really sticky and clumping together.

Yeah, of course.

Because you just finished cooking it?

Now apparently I don't understand this

but by putting it in the fridge that's actually gonna dry

out the moisture from it Correct Sticky as it is to hopefully- Wait but but but why your fridge so empty?

I thought you got family Are you stowing them or something?

What what kind of the war sky fridge is this?

100

I uh...

101

It feel like you just bought it today And the next morning

102

which is actually this morning I have been pleasantly surprised Morning This tray is blooming freezing.

103

Look, it has actually, oh my gosh, that is crazy.

104

It was so gummy last night.

105

And it is still held together a little bit, but it does separate.

106

Yeah.

107

How the fridge has basically...

108

Now it's nice and separate and loose.

109

Let's at least start to get the stir-fry sauce ready.

110

All right, the only other thing to really prep is three garlic cloves that I've just been rocking with my seesaw. So let's...

111

Garlic correct.

112

First, garlic cloves.

113

Galanggau, good.

114

Soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, dark soy sauce, okay.

115

There's sambal.

116

Sambal, amount look okay.

117

Some sesame oil.

118

Aiya, no, no, no. First mistake, Asian sesame oil should just be finishing oil.

119

So you don't want to mix them all together with all other seasoning like this.

120

Sambal, soy sauce, garlic, kalang kao should go in rice first.

121

Sesame oil last thing.

122

And to be honest, kalang kao, a bit unusual ingredient.

123

Uncle Roger won't put it in my fried rice.

124

But it's not wrong.

125

So yeah, I bought this carbon steel wok.

126

It's really nice and light.

127

The pan I used was actually flat bottom.

128

This is round intentionally.

129

Round bottom good.

130

Heat up the sides apparently.

131

Correct.

132

And easier to toss also.

133

Whatever they call them, I've got my standard one.

134

That very hard to cook on stove like that.

135

See the wok, can't even sit properly.

136

I've got my standard one.

137

But we have to season the pan.

138

I've never seasoned the pan before.

139

Never seasoned pan before?

140

You British.

141

You never season anything before

142

Always gone like easy

143

and done the nonstick ones they make me feel really comfortable It had a much more flat bottom

144

so I can't get the heats that these can wait But apparently on the- why your sink look like this?

145

Why there's so many compartments and why that middle sink so small haiya Are you storing your leggo in there?

146

What that use for?

147

First wash what you want to do is get some very hot dish water to get rid of

148

that and You don't need to show us every step of seasoning wok, please.

149

...wet for too long.

150

Seven minutes into video, he haven't start cooking.

151

Haiyaa.

152

He's smoking, is that good?

153

He's still seasoning wok.

154

Don't need to show us how you season wok.

155

There are 100 videos on YouTube showing that already Haiyaa Fast forward What are we doing?

156

He's still seasoning He's still seasoning In fact, he will help Wok hei?

157

Wok er?

158

In a minute, we've got a deep fry, this is what happens Finally, he start chopping, 10 and a half minutes into video He only get to chopping stage,

159

haiyaa This is so much foreplay, Uncle Roger getting blue ball And his voice stressed me out also Wok hei?

160

Wok ee?

161

Wok ee?

162

This video, the opposite of ASMR.

163

Apparently we do it whilst the oil warms up.

164

And it might pop up in a minute.

165

So he deep-fry shallot first as topping, okay?

166

Nice idea.

167

It better be good though, otherwise I'll stop.

168

And that's shallot.

169

Dad joke.

170

They look absolutely gorgeous.

171

Alright, so I've just been slicing up some more shallots, slightly more fine.

172

Okay.

173

Spring onion, we've got some more for garnish too.

174

Correct.

175

Red chilli, white pepper, Some more garlic cloves

176

And of course our good old friend the MSG Weeho Actually

177

telling me to add Two teaspoons of MSG Nice MSG mistakes seasoned gracefully Another bad joke

178

If you don't start cooking soon MSG gonna stand for My saucepan going up your ass Oh gosh Wish me luck Okay, eight correct In a bowl,

179

little mix with a fork Right, that's our prep done Shall we do this?

180

Finally he start cooking This pan Ah, just take so long By the time he done,

181

Uncle Roger gonna have grandkid About to get some duck fat added to it Duck fat, two fans?

182

Stuff is cheeky, make some amazing roast potatoes What?

183

Oh my gosh, this stuff is cheeky This stuff is cheeky What is cheeky?

184

Why duck fat cheeky?

185

Only British chef will describe ingredient as cheeky What you gonna say next?

186

Oh spring onion the dog's bollocks Garlic going in 30 seconds on its own

187

Haiyaa this guy go all the way to Chinese grocery store to buy wok

188

But he forgot to buy proper spatula Get proper wok spatula like this Not

189

that children toy spatula Use the real thing like a real man In go the shallots the chilies

190

Okay I know uncle Joshua put spring onion at beginning also

191

but Uncle Josh a professional chef he can control heat I think for nephew Barry you put spring onion in

192

so early I predict your spring onion gonna wilt let's see

193

if Uncle Roger correct stand for a few seconds

194

and then start okay it going good as it cooks oh

195

my god texture look good I see it we want to

196

get it into little pieces like this in goes our rice rice going good okay now

197

that looks a lot more like egg fried ratio correct tossing

198

it around a little bit he's a nephew look at that

199

Notice how half the wok still empty

200

Fried rice is just like your partner who about to break

201

up with you You need to give it space There's heat then, someone just hit me Oh, okay it smells brilliant Rice stock clumping together,

202

good, big improvement already All of that fat has been completely absorbed

203

The white pepper goes on White pepper good MSG MSG FUIIIO Oh my god, you just chucked that rice everywhere It's so fast so good

204

But what is this epic lot of the ring music In fairness, I think I've got that half left in my pan And the other half all over my hob Right,

205

let's get this off I'm gonna have to pour this on a little bit at a time Okay, sauce going good But of course we've not added any soy at all Oh my word,

206

that's just completely transformed it Wait, after you pour sauce What?

207

After you pour sauce, you should put it back on fire To dry sauce out

208

a little bit Otherwise rice is gonna be wet from soy sauce and the fire bring out flavour also

209

hmm yeah I think we're done uncle what? no? you haven't even tried one spoon to taste test

210

and you think you done? how you know

211

if that's enough seasoning? every soy sauce brand in Asian grocery

212

store they all taste different you have to taste it haiya

213

there is rice all over my floor That's the tastiest floor in all of Britain Right, let's finish, yeah?

214

Here we go, oh it's like falling apart Mmmmm That rice

215

But honestly it don't look bad Look pretty good Whatsoever Akawaja

216

like this Smells out of this world Every rice grains separate

217

and it look nice and fragrant Good colour Old

218

but I have to admit I was like a little worried

219

the color was like well it's a bit plain Normally you like make see here see here

220

so what's during making it was just see this spring onion here

221

Wilting a little bit like how uncle roger predicted but at least he's sprinkling on more fresh spring onion

222

And uncle roger think

223

that fried rice can be a little bit drier see a little bit too much sauce collecting right here

224

that what happened when you put sauce in there

225

but you don't put back on stove just doing

226

that off the heat but we really did fry

227

that rice there's some real it's hard to show on the camera like some nicely charred edges

228

but not completely obliterated it's been really cool to get called out though like i don't get to collaborate

229

that often so this is i guess it's kind of like

230

that ah okay topped with fried shallot i cannot wait to

231

try this this is not the greatest photo in the world

232

but uncle roger and i have been messaging

233

and i've literally just sent in that photo

234

that right nephew barry actually slide into uncle roger dm usually youtuber get dm from celebrity

235

or instagram model but uncle roger get this guy six

236

or something like that but to be honest i'm

237

so relieved we've even got to this point here we go okay hope you like it

238

it did smell a bit peppery it's got really strong peppery depth to it

239

and the heat from that sang Sambao I said sanggau

240

That is without a shadow of a doubt The best egg

241

fried rice I have ever ever tried Possibly slightly too much heat for Mrs B

242

and the kids That is incredible That's the best egg fried rice I've ever eaten

243

This guy don't even know his wife Possibly slightly too much heat for Mrs B

244

and That's the best egg fried rice I've ever eaten Nephew

245

Barry in 2026 White people can handle spice now The biggest

246

show on internet is this bald white guy forcing people to eat spicy wings.

247

That how popular spicy food is with white people, you know?

248

Anytime white people discover new type of food, they're the best at monetizing it and making a trend.

249

Spicy food is the new avocado toast.

250

Hop.

251

The rice is mildly toasted but flavored by that sauce and not greasy and overpowering.

252

The egg is woven through it, the chili, the spring onion, the shallots as well.

253

Absolutely outstanding.

254

I've loved today.

255

Yes, I got slated.

256

Huge improvement huge improvement good work i don't mind in a

257

strange way maybe that's the key thing about uncle roger's trying

258

to be he wants people to like force themselves to push themselves

259

and i've learned so much today correct using this blooming thing here

260

but it's been fun so

261

if josh wiseman is watching fantastic recipe my friend absolutely out of this world yeah very good fire rice

262

but uncle roger still cannot give you uncle title

263

because this is not your recipe uncle roger

264

if you're watching i've learned i've grown i've even i've not stamped my foot

265

But I know this is just the start of it.

266

It could be so much better.

267

Maybe I could fly over to do a video with you in person.

268

You can show me how it's done.

269

As you've said when you're in London.

270

Of course, come to LA sometime, Uncle Roger show you.

271

But wait till I finish building my outdoor kitchen.

272

Nephew Nigel agreed to let Uncle Roger build outdoor kitchen in his backyard.

273

So Uncle Roger can show you how to make fire rice on high powered gas burner.

274

As you've said when you're in London, I don't live anywhere near London.

275

I live in a place where there's probably more cows than there are people.

276

What?

277

Incredible.

278

Hopefully you can come to London when Uncle Roger open restaurant there.

279

Why don't you ride one of your many cows to come to Uncle Roger restaurant in London?

280

Opening late March, early April this year.

281

And niece and nephew, let Uncle Roger know how should I decorate my new home?

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
