Respect to the cooks who work for long hours in that high heat, standing and cooking with such rapid hand movement, moving the heavy wok as well.

By adding rice immediately after the egg goes in, the chef ensures that each grain of rice gets a good light egg coating, this is unlike traditional fried rice, where the egg is 60-70% cooked before rice is added. With high heat and constant pounding, the individual grains are light and relatively fluffy. The final stride is the one table spoon or so of water that the chef added, to make the rice moist enough but still keep the individual grains visibly separated. There is so much art and science going in this kitchen than in a chemist lab !!

Right man, right tools, right procedures and right ingredients! This is what we called fried-rice!

Chinese cuisine is interesting. I can't help but look at the way they cook😃😃

I've eaten a lot of fried rice in HK, but that looked amazing.

[thingy]

Amazing how the intesity of the sound from the hot-plate grew with the intensity and speed of his movement with the wok. It´s almost art.

Master chef skills in Hong Kong are very high. Watched till the end without skipping. If you can one day, come and taste this fried rice.

[samwang]

I am sure it tastes good but it costs 53$ only because it is sold in a 5 star hotel. You can probably get a similar one at a local restaurant for around 12$

If you've noticed it, yes he did pour in some water to it upon completion. The key to making a great fried rice is that the rice has to be dry enough to not stick together, but maintains a small amount of moist in it. You want each rice grain to be independent while the rice is overall slightly moist. This is simply art. If you can afford it, this is where you should go. Simply impeccable.

egg blended/coated with the rice perfectly is just fenomenal

[updown.]

Yum! That looked so good. Wonder if the chef has sore arm by end of the night :)

[Mike-gcih]

[michaeljordan]

Wow xo sauce fry rice can never go wrong

[foongjunemeng]

If you want to test a chef’s real skill, just order fried rice and you will know . Sometimes the simplest of dishes is the hardest to make . This sifu is a pro and the fried rice is not lumpy nor is it too oily . Perfect fried rice of the highest quantity

[mr.cookie]

Fried rice is a dish that I can just eat it all by itself. If it is really good, then its truly overkill to eat it with an entree bc it will overpower its great flavor.

[kingpingchoi]

The final glaze of oil at the end is something where a lot of people don't do. This chef is good!

I work in the back with my co worker and during this summer when we got rushed man o man the heat was no joke especially when I had to fry all the chicken and pork and shrimp for 3 hours of the fire on high heat non stop including his area of heat when cooking

[Davyjones]

[stevefranklin]

$53 is outrageous but those wok skills are worth the money. Wow!
