Olive oil adds flavor that you wouldn't typically want in a dish like this and it also isn't meant to cook at high temperatures. Not to mention it's a lot more expensive than vegetable/peanut/canola oil so you're just wasting it.
An objective problem with olive oil - it has a low smoke point, so it will break down in high heat cooking, potentially creating carcinogenic compounds. A subjective issue with olive oil - it is a stronger tasting oil, so you have to decide whether you want that taste profile in the dish.
Fun fact about tap water in Europe - it's perfectly safe to drink it directly from tap, you don't even have to boil it. It's filtered at source and samples are regularly checked in lab.
The problem with olive oil is that it has a very low smoke point. At least compared to the oils typically used in Asia. As a result, it can’t handle the heat of a wok and will burn very easily. Also, I’m fairly certain the reason he added the water is because the chili jam started to burn. It was explained by another chef who said that it was either burning or caramelizing unnecessarily. The water was to stop that from happening.
The olive oil he's using seems to be semi-refined, going by the relatively light colour. That means the olive taste is less strong and the smoking point is higher, so it's suitable for warm preparations. That said, yeah, it still can't withstand the heat of a real wok on real fire, but basically anything that that lame "Jamie Oliver" non stick skillet can handle, the oil can also handle. And I agree olive flavour wouldn't go well in egg fried rice.
4:37 - Olive oil has a stronger flavor that can have an off-putting taste when cooking Asian dishes. Also, the lower smoke point also works against fried rice when a wok is cooking at a higher heat, compared to a peanut, grapeseed or canola oil.
Not true, olive oil is good for cooking, and smoke point is absolutely irrelevant. What's true is that compared to other oils (like peanut or canola oil), olive oil has a very strong taste, which is why if you don't want it to affect the flavor you should use different kinds of oil. I'll tell you that it's not a big deal for strongly flavored dishes - I tried making pad mee korat (a vegetarian noodle dish from northern Thailand, similar to pad thai) with olive oil and peanut oil, and I didn't much taste the difference (helps that I used very little oil in both cases), but if you're making something more delicate you WILL feel the olive oil taste a bit more and that would definitely not taste good to someone who's used to using a different oil. Plus olive oil isn't a European thing only, it's everywhere all over the Middle East. Palestinian farmers are super proud of their olives.
@@antonioscendrategattico2302 no it’s not good for cooking, at least not for dishes like egg fried rice. The low smoking point is relevant because if you cook in high heat, you will likely to burn the oil. Only Westerners and dumbasses would make high heat dishes with egg fried rice using olive oil.
Olive oil (which I am assuming is extra virgin olive oil) is a bad choice because it has a low smoke point (barely above butter). When you cook fried rice correctly you are using high heat in your wok so you want something with a high smoke point. Personally, I go with avocado oil for anything I cook at high heat.
@@Meecheer Canola oil vegetable oil any bean or seed oil will kill you extra version Olive oil does and can handle high smoke point don't listen to these chefs
when you want to cook egg fried rice you use higher temperature to cook so you use something like peanut or sesame oil. olive oil makes it cook at a lower temperature. it also changes the flavor a bit if you have a higher food palate
A point about olive oil, I would say its mediterranean culture than "white" (british) culture. As they are the ones who know how to use it, not like britishs who use it to fry.
Actually I'm from Greece and I have to say we use extra virgin olive oil for everything, including frying. Then again, we don't cook our rice like this so there is a good chance it wouldn't work like this.
Cooking with a wok on a extreme high heat flames imparts a smokiness to the food. Fats used for cooking fried impart flavor or should remain neutral and have a high smoke point to not mess with the flavor of the fried rice. Olive oil DOES have a strong flavor and so it's more common to use vegetable or canola oil so as not to eff up your fried rice.
From what I gather, wok hay ( the breath of the wok ) has to do with the high curve of the wok vs a saucepan. Steam and smoke gets naturally curled back into the wok as food is cooking because of it’s shape ( and physics) but, that doesn’t happen in a saucepan.
I really like your reactions. And your editing is so good too... subtle but funny as shit. I like when you do the bubble face whenever Uncle Roger says white people.
Great reaction! Uncle Roger is so funny! On the Japanese dish, I think you were thinking of tamago kake gohan or just tamago gohan. Just rice mixed with raw egg and some flavoring. So good!
Haha another awesome reaction videooo, almost feels like I'm there watching with you haha That gasp when Jaimie opened a packet rice LOL. But seriously, we need meat fat to oil the fried rice hahaha. Nah man, no tap water for me either
Here in south Louisiana we do something similar. We do a dish called “eggs and rice”. Like egg fried rice we use leftover rice. What we do differently is we steam the leftover rice, fry two eggs (white hard but yolk soft), put eggs on rice and season to taste with hot sauce. If we also have leftover beans we’ll add them to the rice when steaming. We can also add bacon, sausage, or ham.
in most european countries, tap water has to comply with very strict regulations. it's no problem at all to drink it. in fact most of the time it would be stupid to buy bottled water. also having a high mineral content in your water is quite good for your body. it's not a bad thing, except maybe for your dish-washer/water-cooker ;)
The closest I came to any kind of jam in my rice, was when they put peking ribs next to my rice (and the ribs are coated in sweet sauce that's thick like a jam). The texture of both together is weird to say the least.
I am white and I use chili jam. But not for fried rice only on toast with peanut butter or Nutella. It’s an actual jam like strawberry am but with a bit of kick. We make jam out of any fruit even in southwest America there is cactus jam from prickly pear cactus.
Olive oil has a very low burning temperature, the ingredients which we use for making egg fried rice will not cook properly in it. peanut oil, mustard oil, soybean oil sunflower aur coconut oil are suitable, Ghee, butter, sesame oil and olive oil can be used for garnishing.
i do love making pepper jam but i use Habaneros an just the fleshy outside, seeds never touch makes something with a nice peppery yum. but i dont add to fried rice. makes me wanna watch "Shin Chuuka Ichiban" again as it has a lovely golden egg fried rice, and more.
After watching these videos I plan on getting a rice cooker. I would use chili jam in BBQ marinade, but not in this. If the rice gets a bit dry, you can add soya sauce or hot sauce.
well water actually contains a lot of minerals, its what makes well water so good tap water you get chlorine particles and maybe some residues of copper from the pipeline if now they have clean tap water, alot of developed countries have drinkable clean tap water with the added stuff listed above.
that is good to hear! I'm here in California and i don't trust the water supply lol I can taste the difference in boiled water in different cities.... : ( Thank you for the tip!! : D
@@pemimpiradikall yeah sadly you would I feel extremely lucky that I wasn't born there and would love for everyone around the world to have equality and all have the same luxuries in our homes 💜
well, I used some water filter to filter some bad stuff in the water. I used to drink boiled water in hong kong, but I can't go back with boiled water after coming to the States, I feel disgusted with plain boiled water( drinks are fine).
Another Funny video, I like it even better than your first "Uncle Roger" video! The way you react and your editing are Very Good! Make me laugh! "Jamie Olive Oil" makes SO MANY mistakes I was worried about Uncle Roger. No Wok, the Spring Onion omg!, CHILI JAM?, no garlic. no ginger, nothing for flavor (MSG King of Flavor), juice box Tofu, omg! You should review his video of Gordon Ramsay making Egg Fried Rice. you'll like it!
thank you so much for the kind words! I love throwing in some silly editing haha It was such a sad wii-gio, but yes, I shall go on watching the Gordon Ramsay one! : )
I made a Mexican American Asian fusion dish where I used bacon as the meat and the fat to fry the vegetables and the rice. The sauce was a mole sauce (Chilies, onion, garlic)
10:00 Regarding tap water, in a lot of European countries, standards for tap water are even more strict than standards for bottled drinking water. As such, drinking tap water and using it for cooking is standard procedure.

Yes, in Europe you can drink tap water, It's as clean as water bottle. And you don't have to wash your rice (if it's a European brand), it's already clean.
Washing European rice will also ruin a lot of dishes too. Try making a risotto or paella after washing all the starch off your rice. The Italians will yell at you loudly with their hands and the Spanish will make fun of you and curse you on national TV (something Jamie Olive Oil is familiar with)
In Germany and most of Europe it's perfectly fine to drink Tap Water. It's really clean & fresh. In some Regions the water is a bit harder then in others but the only difference really is, that in regions with hard water you need to clean up your coffee-maker and shower more often because of the chalk-stains... but that's it^^ And yeah, I was told by many people to never drink Tap Water in the U.S. if I can avoid it, because your pipes aren't that clean and you get bacteria, viruses & parasites through Tap Water. O_o
lmao! whether or not people choose to believe it, I have been converted to drinking from extra filtered water... Now that you mentioned it, I did drink from tap once upon a time when i was in France. Will give it another try when I'm in Europe again!! (fingers cross for americans to travel.... :( ) Thank you for the comment : 'D
Tab Water in my country is good. So yeah. We can drink our Tab water and even offer it. Open Tab, done. But during cooking you don't add water. Unless it is soup and you one more person is joining you. Then you may add some more water. :P
Yes. I agree with you the part that your parents or grandparents use animal fat to cook. Everyone in the world used animal fat like pork lard, beef's tallow, lamb suet. We only used cooking oils as early as the 1900, and guess what, these hydrogenated oils are incredibly toxic to our body. Modern diseases today like cancer, stroke, heart diseases, were practically non-existent in prior to early 1900s! The only exceptions are organic extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oils, but none of these can even compare to animal fats in term of nutrition.
Hmm...I think you can use chili jam on stir fry noodles. Here in the Philippines, we have these food cart/stalls that offer a variety of sauces for stir fry noodles you add like peanut/oyster/mongolian/sweet and sour sauces. Sweet and sour sauce is chili jam I think?
here where i live tap water is drinkable, there have even been scandals where bottled water companies make claims about "mountain spring" etc etc but they were just bottling and selling tap water; that said, i prefer to drink filtered water, cuz while tap water is still drinkable it doesn't taste good; i do still cook with it tho, not gonna matter much when it's been turned into holy water(boil the hell out of it)
From a cooking perspective, you do not use olive oil for fried rice because olive oil has a low to medium smoke point. You need high smoke point oils for dishes like fried rice.
As a Norwegian, I can't relate to the tap water comment. You know Voss water? That is /literally/ our tap water. Voss water is not even processed tap water. No one over here buys bottled water, or if they do, it's just too get the bottle.
Ni hao Meecher. I am watching from the Philippines. I think you also have Taiwanese egg fried rice, and we also have our own version of Filipino fried rice in our country. Any version of egg fried rice tastes good to me. We hope uncle Roger tries them all.
I did watch an Asian lady make fried rice and she said you don’t need a wok. She said to get the wok hay is to simply brown the rice before making it. I’m assuming it’s true but 🤷♂️
It should be so easy to understand. Rice, Potatoe, Noodles = side dish. Egg fried rice, Noodle Carbonara, Noodle Bolognese = main dish. He thinks, because it has the name rice in it, it is a side dish? Even I, being not asian, know that isn't a side, but a main dish.

It is the fancy oil. I guess i'm glad he didn't opt for extra virgin olive oil! ahhh
Thank you for being here : D
@@Meecheer yeah if you were to put olive oil in a wok over a fire and it would start smoking really badly and turn bitter
@@VeerleTakino uhg, i'm glad i've never try to do that.
Thanks for more explanation :D
it is possible to buy olive oil that is made to be used at high temperatures, but i guess it's not common. still it's the wrong flavor-profile.
I use sunflower oil and it's pretty good.
An objective problem with olive oil - it has a low smoke point, so it will break down in high heat cooking, potentially creating carcinogenic compounds. A subjective issue with olive oil - it is a stronger tasting oil, so you have to decide whether you want that taste profile in the dish.
Give them chili jam and they go:”Oh~!” 🤣 That’s definitely my favorite part too, and you replayed it multiple times lol.
My FAV part!!
He's too funny xD

@@philyu8245 I SEE! thanks for the italian reference!
Olive oil has a lower smoke point than a lot of other oils so cooking a high heat dish like egg fried rice you wouldn’t want to use olive oil.
In Germany and most of Europe it's perfectly fine to drink Tap Water. It's really clean & fresh. In some Regions the water is a bit harder then in others but the only difference really is, that in regions with hard water you need to clean up your coffee-maker and shower more often because of the chalk-stains... but that's it^^ And yeah, I was told by many people to never drink Tap Water in the U.S. if I can avoid it, because your pipes aren't that clean and you get bacteria, viruses & parasites through Tap Water. O_o
lmao! whether or not people choose to believe it, I have been converted to drinking from extra filtered water...
Now that you mentioned it, I did drink from tap once upon a time when i was in France.
Will give it another try when I'm in Europe again!! (fingers cross for americans to travel.... :( )
Thank you for the comment : 'D
I can totally see you in tv series as a actor or tv show as a host.
LOL!
Thanks you are too nice! haha
For goodness sake, we even have Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce and for me, it is better than chili jam and it is also good for egg-fried rice.
Meecheer I am surprised you also like eating Lumpia Shanghai! :D
they are delicious!
@@Meecheer Oh yes! Totally! :D
Hahaha I love Uncle Roger 🧡🧡 girl your reactions are so cute, you have such beautiful smile! And omg I literally use olive oil to cook everything 😂
ahahhaha, people here will tell you olive oil burns too fast!
We just use oil from meat or canola oil : D
Thank you so much!!
@@Meecheer Use at lower temps.
You are a food artist :)
Omg this is so funny! You don’t sizzle spring onion lol this is so funny and so true!
ahhhh i cried! haha
Omg I've been seeing Uncle Roger's memes but haven't watched his videos, this is my first! hahahaha
He is the best comedy on CZcams during this pandemic.
He is so so funny Alice!!
I'm glad you finally get to see it : D
Tab Water in my country is good. So yeah. We can drink our Tab water and even offer it. Open Tab, done. But during cooking you don't add water. Unless it is soup and you one more person is joining you. Then you may add some more water. :P
Love her personality
Yes. I agree with you the part that your parents or grandparents use animal fat to cook. Everyone in the world used animal fat like pork lard, beef's tallow, lamb suet. We only used cooking oils as early as the 1900, and guess what, these hydrogenated oils are incredibly toxic to our body. Modern diseases today like cancer, stroke, heart diseases, were practically non-existent in prior to early 1900s! The only exceptions are organic extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oils, but none of these can even compare to animal fats in term of nutrition.
YAY!
not always my favorite, or the healthiest, but that's just what was done
We also use canola oil. : D
Thank you for the fun history!
The amount of misinformation here, holy shit.
Hmm...I think you can use chili jam on stir fry noodles. Here in the Philippines, we have these food cart/stalls that offer a variety of sauces for stir fry noodles you add like peanut/oyster/mongolian/sweet and sour sauces. Sweet and sour sauce is chili jam I think?
Chili Jam should me renamed into Chili skin jam. 100% removed of Chili seed.
Kinda food waste.
here where i live tap water is drinkable, there have even been scandals where bottled water companies make claims about "mountain spring" etc etc but they were just bottling and selling tap water; that said, i prefer to drink filtered water, cuz while tap water is still drinkable it doesn't taste good; i do still cook with it tho, not gonna matter much when it's been turned into holy water(boil the hell out of it)
From a cooking perspective, you do not use olive oil for fried rice because olive oil has a low to medium smoke point. You need high smoke point oils for dishes like fried rice.
i see i see!!
Thanks so much for sharing :-)
To be honest you are so pretty haha ❤
aww, thank you!! :')
You are too cute with these reviews
As a Norwegian, I can't relate to the tap water comment. You know Voss water? That is /literally/ our tap water. Voss water is not even processed tap water. No one over here buys bottled water, or if they do, it's just too get the bottle.
Ni hao Meecher. I am watching from the Philippines. I think you also have Taiwanese egg fried rice, and we also have our own version of Filipino fried rice in our country. Any version of egg fried rice tastes good to me. We hope uncle Roger tries them all.
How does kaye cooking's raw fried rice taste? 😂
@@perryg8392 man except that, and if her son doesn't appreciate that, how can I? 🤣
olive oil is not be used in egg fried rice because it has low boiling point and will evaporate before the fried rice is finished in a wok.
In Europe we drink usually tap water. We probably don't appreciate how rare it's in the world to have clean tap water.
1st step to realize it! Would love to visit Europe one day!
Olive oil has a lower smoke point than ...so that is why he is adding water later on.
oooooooooooooooo!?
That's why the ware, huh?
I did watch an Asian lady make fried rice and she said you don’t need a wok. She said to get the wok hay is to simply brown the rice before making it. I’m assuming it’s true but 🤷♂️
its about getting the flavor in... knowing my messy cooking, i'd probably need a wok so all the rice stays in haha xD
Tap water in most of Europe is ok. Here in Norway we put our tap-water in nice bottles, label it VOSS and sell it to the US.
It should be so easy to understand. Rice, Potatoe, Noodles = side dish. Egg fried rice, Noodle Carbonara, Noodle Bolognese = main dish. He thinks, because it has the name rice in it, it is a side dish? Even I, being not asian, know that isn't a side, but a main dish.
I lived in the Netherlands for two years. There it's totally safe to use and drink tap water.
Pretty cool content🥰🙂👌
I mean here in the Netherlands tap water is just as good as bottled water. That's the case in most Western European countries.
oh, NETHERLANDS. (( sounds so dreamy
thank you for confirming the water is drinkable over there!! : D
Chili Jam is what you have a BBQ's in Texas. Not for Egg Fried Rice.
yep, sounds better with BBQ!
