2
The ingredients for this expensive bowl of fried rice cost us a total of $1,623.49.
3
$1,600 for fried rice?
4
Haiya, are you crazy woman?
5
Uncle Roger think this is gonna be a complete waste of money.
6
That is 75 times more expensive.
7
I could fly all the way to China, buy a bowl of fried rice, and fly it back here, and it still wouldn't cost as much as this bowl of fried rice.
8
$1,600 you can traffic Chinese chef, lock him up in your basement
9
and make him cook fried rice for you every day And this channel got budget for expensive fried rice, but no budget for electric bill,
10
haiya Why you cook in darkness?
11
So what makes this fried rice so rich?
12
Well, we took all the ingredients of a regular bowl of fried rice Soy sauce, spam, egg, mushroom, onion, garlic, sesame oil, rice and butter Hmm,
13
few things Uncle Roger don't agree with but normal Uncle Roger think this normal ingredient, if you have good technique, it's gonna make amazing fried rice already But you know what?
14
Uncle Roger have open brain, give this niece a chance Maybe the expensive fried rice actually tastes amazing
15
And replace them with all the most expensive versions of those ingredients
16
that we could find No matter where they came from in the world Okay y'all,
17
all of our ingredients See they can't even turn on that light back there They spend all money on ingredient,
18
trying to save money on electric bill Let's get unboxing We know this unboxing,
19
no need to use this fancy editing Kobe beef certificate of authenticity with the ship's name,
20
an ID number, a DNA management number and oh so much information This beef got birth certificate Fuiyoh,
21
this beef more legal than Uncle Roger My birth certificate is just blurry photo of baby in middle of rice view
22
It was just the one piece of beef for $350
23
Yeah that how much Kobe beef cost That it's like from the region
24
that it says it was But that marbling is insane Yeah Uncle Roger agreed
25
that beef look really good See how much marbling
26
that white reining inside the beef This cow
27
so fatty it look like it's gonna die of heart attack in two days
28
That how you know this beef good A5 Wagyu ribeye You've probably heard of Wagyu before
29
but Kobe beef is the highest quality of Wagyu that you can find.
30
Kobe beef comes from one specific strain of cattle called Tajima Gyu cattle raised only in the Hyogo prefecture.
31
And A5 is the highest grade possible known for maximum marbling, texture, color, and fat quality.
32
But this steak a bit thin.
33
Thin steak very easy to overcook.
34
I hope you don't it up.
35
The rice, $260.
36
If the steak got birth certificate, what this rice gonna have?
37
LinkedIn profile.
38
Bubble wrapped for ultimate protection.
39
This rice so fancy, it come in condom and then paper bag.
40
We imported this special- The rice Uncle Roger buy in just big ass plastic sack on grocery store floor.
41
It's also known as snow camellia rice.
42
So the rice comes from Uonuma inside the Niigata prefecture, widely considered the best rice grown in the UK.
43
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44
Not just Napa Valley.
45
I'm going to think these Japanese people, I think they're bullshitting a little bit.
46
Because Uonuma Everything they do, everything's so special It creates old glossy,
47
slightly sweet texture There are very fancy Sesame oil Dark roasted gold Why does sesame oil look like tequila?
48
The amber color Alrighty, next up I'm really excited for this What is this?
49
It is a special salt Scent all the way from the Philippines
50
Asin Tibuk
51
If you know what they got I've never heard of this
52
before This is really cool I'm going to be too poor This is the type of thing where you guys, you could see a child just like licking the whole thing, not realizing- Why it looked like crystal ball?
53
Uncle Roger can use that to tell your future.
54
Mmm.
55
Oh, you broke.
56
I seen tabuok sea salt imported from the Philippines.
57
So this salt is one of the rarest and most labor intensive foods in the world.
58
It's made using an ancient coconut ash filtration system.
59
Coconut husks are soaked in seawater for months and then burned into ash.
60
Seawater is filtered through that ash to create a brine and
61
that brine is slowly boiled in clay pots until it hardens into salt.
62
Uncle Roger are gonna start bullshitting people by repackaging this MSG for $400 a bag
63
and then come up with some bullshit story like, oh, this MSG is harvested from the youngest sugar cane in the rural jungle of Indonesia.
64
Indonesia They pick sugarcane not by size but by the smell of their leaf
65
And then they ferment it by the hand of kidnapped orphans Come have a try
66
This one's labeled so I know what this one is It is our fancy Japanese sake
67
Why you use sake for fried rice?
68
Haiya For what?
69
So luxurious Plastic Fried rice you want it dry Sake gonna make it wet Just drink the sake,
70
don't cook with it, just drink Decide beyond sake, so instead of just buying rice,
71
they run farming competitions, select the winning harvest And then build a sake around that year's best possible rice
72
Uncle Roger realized if you want to rip off people, all you need is drone shot All these expensive ingredients so far,
73
all got drone shot We have our gear cow Gi for fried rice?
74
What the hell?
75
You can't just throw every expensive thing in there haiya It
76
need to match Every ingredient Japanese then suddenly India Just throwing
77
all expensive thing in there What you gonna throw in there next?
78
A Rolex is it?
79
Wagyu beef already so fatty Just use some of
80
that fat to cook your rice with You can maximize the use of your expensive Wagyu And notice
81
that sound effect Gir cow They show one Indian ingredient Then
82
they need to use Indian sound effect You ever notice they never do this for white people thing?
83
Oh, Uncle Roger using my secret ingredient Ketchup and mayonnaise It's certified non-GMO and it's lactose free Lactose free butter Lactose free?
84
If Uncle Roger is spending $500 on butter I want all the lactose, make me shit myself I want to get my money's worth I first learned
85
that clear soy sauce exists actually From another former Buzzfeeders video When it goes into the mixture, I ate only What?
86
You mean it like transparent?
87
I feel like if you covered this up
88
and I didn't know what color it was I would have totally thought it was just normal soy sauce Wow, this is soy sauce?
89
Whew, Uncle Roger never seen this before I think I'm too poor for this I've never tasted it,
90
I've never seen it in the store So I'm really excited for this one But that not transparent, that brown?
91
I don't know why, maybe this is dumb of me
92
That looks just like regular soy sauce Almost looks like the color of sesame oil What colorblind producer make this mistake?
93
Transparent and brown, he cannot tell difference And here also another problem Fried rice supposed to be about balance Some strong flavor,
94
some weak flavor But in this one, every ingredient strong flavor If everything's strong,
95
then nothing is strong These are what some people call it $20 for 12 eggs Beautiful colors, you can see it looks like Easter The quality
96
and the richness of the color of the yolk indicates the quality of the chicken's diet.
97
While the color of the shell- No, no, that wrong.
98
Color of yolk, very easy to manipulate now.
99
You just have to give food coloring to the chicken food and then the yolk gonna be nice and bright and orange.
100
You can never go wrong with onion or garlic, except of course when it's springtime and you have fresh ramps available.
101
Ramp?
102
What is that?
103
These are very fancy and hard to come by because they're a garlic green that only grows
104
wild in the forest apparently on the east coast of the US.
105
Uncle Roger never even hear of RAM before
106
I too poor So niece and nephew please go pre-order my cookbook
107
If I sell enough cookbook maybe in future I can afford
108
one RAM This book we don't have expensive fried rice
109
But we have one of Uncle Roger's favorite XO fried rice
110
Trust me this book definitely gonna improve your fried rice technique
111
Because I don't just give you recipe I also give you
112
building block There's a whole chapter called Up Your Fried Rice
113
Game One of the things you can make is this crispy rice bit You deep fry some grain of rice
114
and then sprinkle in your fire rice Then your fire rice is going to have crunch Uncle Roger promised you all,
115
if I get on New York Times bestseller list I'm going to recreate this expensive as hell fire rice, okay?
116
So let's get on that list, go click link in description Ramps are also known as wild leeks
117
and they're an ultra-seasonal forage plant Found in Northeast American forests A mature plant takes years to establish a plant
118
If it's harvested by white people, that how you know it's going to be expensive Rips kind of tastes like if scallions, garlic and onions had a baby.
119
So we really only need one vegetable to do the job.
120
Scallion, onion, garlic have baby.
121
Why don't you just use scallion, onion and garlic?
122
Just cook them three together.
123
We have some more very exciting perishable- Truffle, of course.
124
I'm a big fan of mushrooms.
125
Everything expensive, of course they're gonna shave truffle on there.
126
This is probably the scariest part of today, of cooking this expensive piece of meat.
127
I'm gonna get my cast iron nice and hot while I season the meat.
128
Okay, cooking the steak first Seasoning steak,
129
good Make sure you dry the steak also
130
This is a thin piece of meat
131
so we're only going to cook it for a couple of minutes on each side Yeah,
132
make sure you don't overcook This white woman just seeing her retirement fun turn into fried rice With our ramps,
133
we're gonna treat them kind of like a scallion chopping up the whites and separating them from the leafy green part
134
Why are knives so funky?
135
All this cooking show with the colorful knife Nice.
136
Of course it gets a little more of our fancy salt.
137
This fire is going to be so salty.
138
I'm really bad at estimating the volume of this salt.
139
Wait no MSG?
140
Just can spend $1,600 on exotic ingredients.
141
But MSG too hard to find?
142
What?
143
Uncle Roger like to cook egg together with rice and everything else because the egg fragrance
144
is gonna seep into rice You don't want to overcook them too much so I'm gonna remove them right now So now we have
145
that same wok we were using earlier for the eggs getting it hot again and going to add some ghee
146
And this is where we're gonna be combining all of our lovely
147
So wait wait no your fire too small Fired rice most
148
important element I don't care how much you spend most important
149
element is heat wok hay is priceless you cannot just buy
150
with money you have to buy with big fire look at
151
that the tiniest little fire in there it's like four birthday
152
candle under your wok haiyah how you gonna make good fried rice $1600 on ingredient
153
but cook on this pussy ass stove why
154
i love using butter for my fried rice so i'm very happy that we're using ghee Butter for fried rice, wrong.
155
You ever wonder why isn't Joelle moving her walk around more?
156
It's because my left arm is really weak.
157
Why so weak?
158
My best.
159
We have our ramp white.
160
Go to gym.
161
These until they're a little tender and fragrant.
162
White rice, this was cooked and then left in the fridge overnight to dry out a little bit.
163
That's all rice correct.
164
I don't know, something about it.
165
Maybe it's the shape of the grain or how they're staying separated.
166
Since this is a lot of rice, I'm adding a little more ghee.
167
At least ghee got high smoke point, so at least that better that butter.
168
We're going to deglaze with some of our fancy sake.
169
No, sake is going to make rice wet.
170
I'm going to add some of our fancy salt.
171
Okay, fine, I guess.
172
I like a lot of salt on my fried rice, so.
173
Next, we're adding our ramp greens.
174
More ramp.
175
That's expensive ingredients.
176
You got to get a bit much.
177
A piece, you know.
178
Now we're going to season it with our light soy sauce.
179
It's so interesting that I don't think this is going to change the color a ton the way
180
that dark soy sauce normally would.
181
Okay.
182
Now pour it around the rim.
183
Don't pour straight on rice.
184
Our egg going in.
185
Okay.
186
And I like to break it up so that every bite gets a little bit of egg.
187
This is our very orange yolk.
188
And to finish it off, we're topping it with our sesame oil.
189
No, no, no, no, no. If you're using that expensive sesame oil, please turn off fire first before you add.
190
Expensive sesame oil is so delicate.
191
You're wasting it now.
192
This is gonna add so much nice fragrance.
193
Now that our rice is pretty much done, we need to prepare our steak to go on top.
194
Okay, let's see, let's see.
195
This steak is so easy to cut.
196
It's so easy to cut.
197
And then you just sawing it like tree Slicing stick,
198
just one fluid front back That it I'm truly barely putting any pressure And What?
199
No, no
200
No, no This one make Angkor just sad I have to
201
put my leg down from chair You destroyed this beautiful wok you beef There almost no pink in there Oh my god,
202
okay shirt little bit of pink here But
203
that already medium This not medium rare
204
And then the rest of the steak over here It all brown and grey Noooo Haiya How much that meat again?
205
$350 $300 beef The Wagyu farmer gonna get heart attack seeing this What she doing?
206
No!
207
See this what happened when your steak too thin The heat just go through the whole steak
208
If Uncle Roger cooking steak this thin I gonna throw steak in freezer Maybe like 10-15 minutes
209
And then whack it on highest heat possible
210
That way we develop nice crust But then because the inside still cold from freezer It's not going to be overcooked Listen, nephew, if you know steak,
211
let Uncle Roger know if my technique can work The best way is to reverse sear, but this steak too thin for
212
that Slicing through At the home stretch here We have the ragi
213
which we do dice because we want every little bite of fried rice Okay, dice okay Some of that delicious Good shape for fried rice I'm just going to toss it in here
214
Get it nicely incorporated Wait, but then now See, because the steak already kind of overcooked, we have to turn heat off But when you toss rice,
215
we've stow off Now the rice just getting colder, getting clumpier By the time you serve this fried rice to people, it already not fresh So fancy See,
216
you can't even see any steam coming out from there I
217
can't believe how many dollars This rice just room temperature I cook very casually You're wasting all the ingredients,
218
you're wasting your money Time to plate this up Honestly, this rice reminds me of something one of my aunties used
219
to say where every wasted grain of rice is a drop of sweat from your ancestors harvesting it.
220
And Uncle Roger have a saying, money cannot replace good technique.
221
That saying is incredibly true today.
222
Here goes nothing.
223
And then we have our very fragrant nori on the very top.
224
Okay, nori and truffle, actually nice combo.
225
The flavor work together.
226
The dish, it looked beautiful, Uncle Roger agreed Colour quite nice and light And I'm sure it tastes decent also But does it taste $1600 decent?
227
I don't think so
228
So I suppose I should start with the cheap as we've been doing before moving on to the expensive
229
But I'm not gonna lie The cheap one smells really good Yeah, because they got Spam In terms of the amount of Cheap
230
one look pretty nice too actually The Spam Nice colour So let's just give it a try Cheap one look more cheerful,
231
more approachable It like the girl next door Expensive one look
232
like high class escort It look like I have to fly this fried rice to Dubai
233
and buy some handbag for it Before it let me try Cheers That's really good Oh my gosh Man,
234
that's kind of hard to see We've got wildly different results It is so good, what Uncle Roger say This normal ingredient If you have good technique,
235
it's gonna make amazing fried rice already.
236
Now we have our big boy, our adult 401k maxed out savings, maybe trust fund, um fried rice.
237
Yeah let's give it a try.
238
I feel like I have to get a little bit of everything.
239
Okay.
240
Whoa.
241
Man, I'm not gonna lie.
242
The texture of this tastes expensive
243
Yeah of course because the rice short grain
244
And people usually associate short grain rice with more expensive I will be honest though I don't know
245
if I'm getting a ton of the sake soy sauce expensive Yeah
246
because Sesame oil of course not because you burn it to shit
247
And it's too many flavor you're not gonna be able to taste all the expensive ingredient flavor individually this waste of money.
248
I'm not gonna lie.
249
If you were to give me fried rice, not tell me how much anything costs, I'm blindfolded.
250
I think I would choose the cheap one.
251
What?
252
This is a really cool- I, uh.
253
I'm so glad that now I know what these levels- I mean, that's what Uncle Roger expected, but you just waste so much money preparing this.
254
Give Uncle Roger that sake.
255
I want to get drunk and forget this video.
256
Thank you.

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.
