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

547 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?

It is a staple that is simple but is easy to screw up and elevating it shows the skill of the chef, like pizza napoletana and caccio e pepe in italian cuisine, omelettes in french cuisine, nigiri in japanese cuisine etc (according to what my ex who worked in hospitality told me)
