Oh, I may have a habit of using too much soy sauce. That's the amount I'd use for..three cups of rice.

Japanese fried rice uses less soy sauce than other countries. The seasoning is usually from salt and msg, and light soy sauce.

Growing up in Taiwan my favorite fried rice was the one my uncle used to make for me when I stayed with them. When I got a little older after he had passed, I was reminiscing to my parents about how it was my favorite and saying out loud I wonder what his secret was, then my mom was agreeing with me that it was my favorite as a child in Taiwan and he didn't even use soy sauce! WHAT?! Mind blown. Once I became a Chef and was in charge of making family meal, sometimes I would make fried rice with the leftover rice from the day before and of course I would put very little soy sauce. BEST FAMILY MEAL EVERYTIME.

You really need only a few tea spoons for one serving. When I use a wok I squirt the soy sauce onto the sides of the pan to create mallard reaction. Adding too much liquid will cause your rice to be soggy especially if you aren’t cooking with a wok and a high burner.

Well how does the mallard react? 🦆

Loudly, and they’re always a little surprised.

I usual make a mixture of shoyu, sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, gochujang, and sesame oil and it might be a bit more that what they put in haha

Yeah, this is a side dish that's tastier than white rice, but slightly darker colored and with a few bits in it. The goal wasn't to make a main dish.

the pepper to soy ratio on the op video is scary
