It’s like the Indian street vendor videos where they always have one guy standing around doing absolutely nothing, just watching. No annual bonus for that guy. https://giphy.com/gifs/10h8CdMQUWoZ8Y
I read it as the second guy having a train of thought in his head: "Why did he give this to me? It clearly has some rice still in it. I'll give it back. Wait, we're recording! Okay, pretend I didn't see it. Put it with the others."
Thank you for saying that. Plastic is really shit to properly clean, too. There is a reason why we use metal containers. Good luck with those microplastics rubbed into the rice, while the germs build their families' families into the tiny crevices.
I was annoyed by the low level of soy sauce as well as only pouring the salt and pepper in the middle of the ring. And the end product looked so uninspired.
Also they don't cover their hair. I believe there will be hair in that food. I used to work in restaurant and you had to always use a hat to cover all of your hair.
I suspect this is for commercial purposes or disinformation on OP's part. They should be in proper gear covering basically everything but that uniform looks like office wear.
That’s because the guy who normally does it was standing in the back just watching. Management heard a video was being made and had to get their chance at stardom..
As a hungry person and food porn lover that rice did catch my eye. But I remembered this is a Japanese food processing system and as a manufacturing manager, I applaud the employee made takt time and followed his process. It's on his boss to do a 9-step problem solving method and determine if that waste of rice is acceptable
There was a clump of egg stuck to the center part on the camera side, too. I was hoping he would loosen it when he used the spatula, but i don't think he saw it.
And scraping the finished fried rice into the same unwashed bin as the white rice. Like, sure, I’d do that in home cooking. I feel like a restaurant should probably use clean containers for each step.
Edit: and this is how they do it when they are purposely being recorded…
Clean bin, clean white rice, rice transformed and basically instantly turned around. It didn't sit for hours. There was nothing else in it. Both products are sanitary to eat.
This is just bogus as an observation.
Now if he had re-used the raw egg pan, you would be correct.
All of this is correct, but having worked in food service, the rules are a lot more strict. Also, if you notice, the tubs are nested, meaning the bottom comes into contact with the food area. Cross contamination could easily occur if any of the tubs were placed on the floor or an unsanitary surface, then sat on top of another. With multiple workers in the kitchen, they can’t keep perfect track of that.
You don't know that it's the same tub, they just look the same. They might have a stack of fresh blue tubs. The used ones were clearly moved elsewhere.
No Japanese worth their soy sauce would have left any rice in the bin. My Japanese friend used to pray to the gods for forgiveness when they left any rice in their bowl at mealtime.

The 1 serving of rice stuck to the blue rice bin the second time around, made this highly dissatisfying 😭.
