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

527 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?

I’ve seen that some Continental restaurants use *cacio e pepe* the same way. It’s just spaghetti, Pecorino Romano and black pepper. You can’t fudge on the ingredients so it’s a test of technique.
