Professional chef Eric Huang and home cook Joe are swapping ingredients and hitting the kitchen to make fried rice. We set Joe up with a whopping $333 worth of ingredients for his attempt at Eric’s pro recipe. Meanwhile, a modest $20 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way to be elevated into something gourmet by our esteemed pro. Will Joe be able to execute the restaurant-quality fried rice Eric intended to make? Can Eric transform Joe’s humble ingredients into something spectacular?

Joe is hysterical
Where’s Rose?
7:11 Did my dude just say he watched an episode of 2 Broke Girls? 😂
Not one but Two meals that you can never cook yourself!
The creative techniques and ideas chef Eric Huang used in this video was really cool. How does he think of all that with such simple ingredients!
"I'm not washing rice anymore"
Not approved
And we summon UNCLE ROGER!
Waiting for Uncle Roger to watch this one
I love both chefs, they are so funny and charismatic
Haiii Yahhhhaaa…
I have the same rice cooker
Fui-yoh!
Do they come feed it to me or do I get a butler with this 🤣
Hi Uncle Roger! I know you’re watching!
Joe had no idea he signed up to cook a 15 course, 73 step meal 😂😂😂😢
I can already hear Uncle Roger calling to the ancestors
Love this pro chef! He’s so knowledgeable!
"I'm the greatest chef alive" 💯
Where is Uncle Roger???!!!!
I love Joe – hes soo funny omg 😂
$7.50 for cheap eggs???
Joe: Being funny
Eric: D E H Y D R A T O R
i'll be honest, i wouldnt eat either of those plates. fried rice is fried rice. when you bougie it up, it's no longer fried rice.
I can't wait for Uncle Roger to review this.
Eric is terribly unfunny… he's like the Gilbert Godfrey of cooking
Hello Uncle Roger
the $20 one looks a lot better lmao
Chef Eric cooks like someone who just bought a dehydrator 😂
Watching Joe is embarrassing, he should be filled with shame!
@14:39 that's what she said
PACKET RICEEE NOOO
uncle roger react this asap please
I kind of like Joe. He has a great, deadpan delivery
I'm starting to think he likes to dehydrate stuff.
JOE DESERVES A COOKING SHOW
16:21 Haiyaa! I can hear my ancestors crying.
Uncle Roger get down here!
"That`s not very healthy. Don` worry. Here we go" 😆😆
fuiyoooooooooooooooooooh
14:37 It's nice to see that even pros make mistakes.
sits down with popcorn to wait for the uncle roger reaction
The idea of a $300 fried rice is quite interesting, given that fried rice is a dish to use up leftovers and whatever is on hand, very cheaply while providing as much sustenance as possible.
It's very similar to the concepts of various types of rice and bean dishes, to cabbage and potato or noodle dishes such as haluski, colcannon or coddle, to stretching meat with bread as in meatloaf, or to goulashes and stews such as mulligan or hoover.
I guess it's nice to be able to afford to try to make the cheapest, simplest things with the greatest ingredients–and it's also marvelous to use simple inexpensive ingredients to their maximum potential.
the chef fried rice seems insanely wack
