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

533 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?

Same reason French cooks test you on eggs, or italian cooks test you on carbonara or cacio e pepe. It’s all the technique.

The recipe is actually very simple for all these foods. Usually only 2-4 ingredients. So how good/bad it is depends almost entirely on the cooks technique.
