Why Asian cooking drama shows always test new guy with fried rice?

555 views

To my recollection, many Asian dramas (and anime), even if the restaurant is supposed to serve cuisine that doesn’t really have fried rice as traditional repotaire (eg: western), ended up using fried Rice as a way to demonstrate the new guy’s skill (at least, being acceptable to the restaurant). Why is that?

For prep cook I would just ask them to give me an onion with half of a julienne and half of it small dice. It tells me if they’re comfortable in the kitchen. Can they ask somebody where the cutting boards are or can they find one. Can they find an appropriate workspace? Or can they find a house knife or ask an appropriate person to borrow a knife. And it tells me a lot before they even, make a cut.
