Uncle Roger so mad, he forgot his accent.
He is nephew Nigel
He had to put his accent down from chair
Lol Uncle Roger sent his cameraman for the low rating show.
He's Nephew Nigel, his accent was diffrent than Uncle Roger
Oof, he be very pissed a.
Uncle Roger was so upset he told Nephew Nigel to get on the stage to rant about rice for him
Both are equally funny.
I read this in uncle Roger voice for some reason

Haiyaa! Uncle Roger had to take his leg off the chair. Nephew Nigel tell the truth, but he spend too much time talking about Uncle Ben, and he didn't even mention MSG!
Hiyaa....
as an Indonesian, I can relate that 5kg rice is a smallest amount of rice. We usually buy 10kg rice or even a whole sack of rice.
whole sack is the regular and 5kg is just a 1 day substitute
When I was a kid and supermarkets weren’t so common, we usually buy rice from a heavy truck that pulled up in the neighbourhood.. per sack is 50 kg… 😂
@@jacobdeguzman9974 No, it's 20kg here.
True, it's also damn light, if you can't lift it, you're either too young or too weak
We do the same in Kerala, India because we eat rice every day 3 times
20kg to be more specific

"We are nice enough to make those phones for you, don't put it in our food please." Genius.
@Cosmos Poppies it's an old racist joke that if you leave your broken phone out in bowl of rice, asians will come out and fix it for you :/
@Cosmos Poppies if you drop your phone in water, don’t turn it on, put it in raw rice, the rice will absorb all the water and moisture in the phone
@@lizalternate As Rob mentioned above, it's used to prevent water damage to a device. I believe the joke came after.
@@robang3473 That's the claim, it's actually wrong. Do leave your phone off, but leave it in the open air, because open air can move, it's more absorbent of the moisture, the moisture needs to move though air even in the rice method but in open air it just works better. Also in the rice method it's possible to get rice or rice powder in the ports of the phone.

I want it known that the saucepan is a perfectly valid method, but most people don't really know what they're doing. I have cooked perfect rice in a saucepan all my life. It is all about ratios and timing.
I can hear my ancestors crying
Yep, and when you mess it up it gets real messed up. Or maybe I’m just picky about my rice
This is true. But it's a pain in the butt as you need to hover over it to make sure the heat shuts off at the right moment and you can't leave it sitting there for an hour afterwards, as it'll go cold. And if you try to keep heat on it to keep it warm, it'll probably dry out or burn.
@@RyanHellyer Hover over it? I've made rice in a sauce pan for so long, I can throw that stuff on the stove and walk away to watch TV for a while, and I just KNOW when I need to go back and turn off the heat. Perfect rice every time. No thinking required.

Love the fact that he tells/ explain the culture in this video.

When I was a kid and there was no rice cooker back then, we used to always have a dedicated pot for just cooking rice. It's our rice pot (kaldero pangkanin) and we cannot cook anything else in that pot.
You could see the moment Uncle Roger nearly took control and Nigel went "Nahh... this isn't the right place"😂

Thanks you’re helping to build a better world 🙏
My house in uni during my 2nd year we're all East/Southeast Asian (including me) so out kitchen had 7 rice cookers in there and a crap ton of shoes by the door (plus they were sneakerheads). 😂😂
I’m telling you as a Malaysian , it’s okay to use a saucepan y’all, it does the job just as well, but for the love of God, DO NOT stir it. Leave it on the stove with lid on for 6 minutes and it’s good to go. And please, please PLEASE wash your rice before cooking, I’m begging you.
Rice is not pasta
It’s 10 mins, not 6 mins. Won’t get cooked in 6.
It's easy to burn rice that way though. I prefer to just steam it since I don't have to worry about burning the rice and I get to save on electricity by laying off the rice cooker. Gas is cheaper anyway. Sometimes I get to even save on that by steaming something else on top of the rice when it's already semi-cooked.
And yupe. This means I ain't some pansy ass induction stove user either. /smirk/
Edit: An induction stove would be safer for disabled kitchen users though so they're not all bad.
As a Chinese-Indonesian, I disagree. My mom would most probably smack the back of my head if she found out that I feed her with saucepan-cooked rice.
I can hear my grandma crying because of your opinion....

@@bmg_darby na ja erst mal nur 3 Zutaten bei dem Bier 🍻😉
@@bmg_darby Naja, im Grunde genommen kommt's erstmal darauf an welche Brotsorte man machen will. Für helles Brot reichen aber als Hauptzutaten Weizenmehl, Wasser und Hefe, dazu dann Zucker, damit die Hefepilze was zum Fressen und Wachsen haben und vielleicht etwas Salz für den Geschmack. Für dunkle Brote und Vollkornbrote, die meist mit Roggenmehl und geschrotetem Korn gebacken werden, braucht man auf jeden Fall Sauerteig. Den kann man selbst machen oder aber in ner Tüte kaufen. Und ganz, ganz wichtig ist auf jeden Fall auch, dass man den Teig in Ruhe gehen lassen muss, sonst backt man gerade bei den dunklen Teigen Ziegel und nicht Brot ^^'
Koreans have kimchi refrigerators too. So yea each culture has their staple food that they are super specific about preparing and storing properly.
First time coming across this guy and he's super hilarious in the smartest and bravest way!! Thank you for making my drive to work a lot less boring😂👏🏼💖👏🏼👏🏼🤣
I felt this so much being from Seattle and of Hawaiian ancestry, and now living in France for the last 6 years. When I moved here I hated the little rice bags and wanted to find a proper bag, finally I found where the Chinese/Vietnamese district was, and it took some convincing but my french husband finally relented to letting me buy a rice cooker. Because I also found the boiling and straining like pasta to be tragic as well not to mention it's not the right texture and if you want to make sweet sticky rice for dessert, it will burn and stick to a pan. Love this joke and I bet my sister who is half Filipino will find it hilarious as well. ❤❤

For the single folks here, they have rice cooking lunch boxes now. It come with a mid section to steam stuffs like eggs and corn. Like instead of boiled eggs, you steam instead, you can stew foods in there. Instead of stewing, you can reheat the leftovers. It takes a little space and you can take it to work or travels to save on eating out. It's healthier too since you cook enough to eat and have no leftover so you won't be eating leftover the next day.

This is my favourite stand up comedy of Nigel , so relatable as an asian who lived in UK before 😊🔆
Congrats on BBC for being about to hit 10 million subs!
we use steamer pot when i was a kid. before we owned a rice cooker. the taste was organic and no burnt rice. now we always have perfect rice. However, keeping the rice warm in a rice cooker is a bad choice, you need to aerate the rice in big stainless steel/enamel rice bowl/bamboo rice basket. nowadays rice cookers are cheap so everybody got one.
I avoided watching this for ages, because as much as I love his Uncle Roger character, I thought it would be cringe-worthy watching Nigel redoing the same material live. But it actually works, and all of his punchlines are clever and hit the mark. Excited to see more of Nigel's stuff now.
This was entertaining and all. However i would really like to know how to make one of the hotdog things displayed in the background.
Seems like a French hot dog. Use a small baguette instead of the usual buns. If you’re lazy they should be in the cafe at ikea.
Before the world was ending, at many places such as cinemas or public gatherings, you could buy a “rollover” which is basically what is in the background. They stick the bread onto a big spike almost all the way through, squirt in some sauces then stick in the hot dog into the hole. Quite convenient.

uncle roger is right, even those generations away from the Asian roots like me know the importance of a rice cooker, pressure cookers can also work but nothing topples a rice cooker.
By the way, once my rice cooker broke and i was at university with no money to buy a new one so i did the microwave one, it was disgusting, it was not evenly cooked and some parts were completely uncooked, i immediately bought a new one from the closest shop after borrowing some money.
Once I got a rice cooker instant rice just isn't the same!
in india we make rice like boil it and strain in (no colanders were used) and keep it on the stove (since after boiling it will still be wet)

Rice cooker is about $15 to $25 and going out for fried rice lunch dinner in NZ cost $13 to $18. So one serving would have bought you a rice cooker.
Follow the authentic Asian way of cooking, after 4-5 tries, you wouldn’t even want to go to restaurants for fried rice… pretty easy to make, just need the right steps and ingredients
Egg fried rice got him here🤣
I've owned a rice cooker for 3 months, and after watching all the Uncle Roger videos, I'm considering using it.
As an Indonesian, cooking rice in a pot is reserved for emergencies, camping, and power outages
or if you want that burned crust on the bottom of the pot.
He's right! I have never in my 22 years of life ever actual bought a 100g bag of rice. That doesn't even seem enough for one person, the smallest I've ever seen in the stores near my house is 1 kg bags.
SHORT grain rice is the BEST!
Might aswell check this out considering it’s been on my Recommended for the past 6 months.
well done!
remember this man will never stop talking about rice
It is 😂😂
Asian rice is the best ! 🤤😋
I don’t have a toaster but I do have a rice cooker, therefore I move from being northwest/middle eastern Asian to southeast Asian, thank you for your support
Seriously I thought 5kg rice bags looks so small and cute and I always wondered how long 1 bag would last cause the only bag of rice my family buys (we are only 3 including my parents, no siblings) is a 25kg sack.
To be boring and serious for a moment - I've been to Thailand and used a rice cooker, and they're pretty neat, BUT it would take up too much room on the counter/in the cupboard at home. If you've got the right technique, you can get perfect fluffy and steamy rice in a pan every time.
If u know how to cook, that's ok with your tools, Nigel just use that to do comedian show, in real life he won't hate u for that.
And I don't mind u buy or not, I just want to tell u rice cooker is a multi-purpose device, not only for rice, it also can cook porridge, noodle, soup, potatoes, juicy meat meal.... etc, also adding flavor or sausage to cook with the rice, and can steam other food on top too.
Been to Thailand and used a rice cooker?
I bow to your obvious expertise..
funny thing is, there's thousands asians mastering how to make western cooking in hundreds possible ways, but only few western know how to cook rice properly with a device called "rice cooker"? aaaiiisshhhh 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, aish indeed...
having lived in Asia, I find Westerners tend to be more open to other food's, probably less so in the younger generations, but older generation's in Asia tended to be very mono cultural in respects to food.
David Renton
David Renton that’s probably an age thing. Older folks are in general more set in their ways, regardless of race. I’d also disagree that westerners are more open to different foods than Asians. Western food is very simple and is difficult to dislike, while some asian food may have strong flavors and spices which westerners who aren’t accustomed to it may not be able to handle. I think asian people have definitely eaten more burgers than westerners have eaten noodle soups.
Of course, if you are a westerner who has lived in Asia, you are already more adventurous than average. But there are probably still some things you’d hesitate to eat. I can’t imagine vice versa, an asian in the west hesitating over any food served there.
@@davidrenton as much as I want to agree...
I'll try my best to put it simply. I'd say a lot of people are very conservative regarding cultural stuff, and food is no exception. Hersha did say in a BBC interview that the type of rice she used (which needed to be strained after cooking) wasn't the type normally used in egg fried rice, yet she stayed professional and followed the instructions anyway.
Western cuisine are probably like that as well, just maybe we don't hear much of it. For example, if an Italian grandma saw someone non-italian cooking risotto the wrong way, she'd be irritated, wouldn't she?
(I'm sorry if the "italian" example sounded racist, but that was the only think I could think of. If any of you have more accurate examples, you can share them, but please, be nice)
@@daulahiftitah6461 I remember (I used to live in E Asia) and my friend a 30 year old White guy from Louisiana used to be able to make Chinese food that all the native Chinese people thought was great even beyond what they could make.
Now me I would burn rice, plus the water with it :).
There is a difference in growing up with food as opposed to acquiring it, no one makes bland Irish boiled food like my Mother :).
Then again I don't think you need an Indian to make Indian food, that all food is learnable and my ex Chinese GF makes a great fry up.
