LOL! I normally get annoyed with "Youtubers" like this, with the excessive editing and content style, but this one made me laugh several times.
"You hear it sizzling, I hear my ancestors crying."
I have to wonder if the egg fried rice recipe video was created especially to get attention or backlash, which it definitely deserves. Saucepan, olive oil, adding green onions first, and flash frying soft tofu? Sounds like a mushy mess. I cook Asian dishes a lot and everything is wrong about this new "healthy" creation.
Thanks for posting, OP. I love cooking videos, especially bad ones!

Uncle Roger's real name is Nigel Ng and he is playing a character in these videos... he is a comedian. He certainly is Asian and was born in Malaysia, but his "Uncle Roger" character is supposed to be a stereotypical Asian Boomer. The interesting thing about him is - he may be a comedian, but he clearly really knows Asian cooking, and though his shtick is comedic roasting of professional chefs, most of his digs are on-target! His videos have actually been criticized as "racist" by some Asian-Americans, but if you watch closely, you can see that he has considerable affection for Asian food and culture, and lifts them up, even if he gently pokes fun now and then. I mean really the main targets of his jibes are famous western chefs who mangle Asian cooking and seem to have either never learned or just don't care about the proper traditional way of making these dishes. There is a reason that some recipes have survived for centuries - they're good!
He can be a little over the top at times, but he always gets me laughing :-). And though I know Indonesian food quite well, I get exposed to all kinds of other classic Asian dishes through his videos, so I like the whole experience - glad you also enjoy!

^^I was referring to the original Jamie Oliver 'celebrity chef' video, totally mangling egg fried rice. Then I watched Gordon Ramsey screwing up a grilled cheese sandwich and calling it "incredible", as he took one bite and put it down. I think these celebrities make these bad recipe examples on purpose.
OP, there goes my Friday evening! I have a feeling I'm going on an Uncle Roger binge tonight.

LOL - he is just ranting like he is upset by bad cooking, but I just can't stop laughing when I watch his videos - because what he's saying is true! And yep - that sandwich Ramsay made had all these high-end ingredients, but was burnt and absolutely swimming in oil and the cheese never melted... Sometimes I have tears coming out of my eyes from laughing so much .
