Egg Fried Rice with Ketchup and Chicken Curry

In July 2020, a cooking video from the BBC Food website in which British-Indian presenter Hersha Patel prepared Egg Fried Rice went viral after Malaysian stand-up comedian Nigel Ng on July 8, 2020 posted a reaction video on his YouTube channel poking fun at their cooking methods. The reaction video has more than 7 million views on YouTube and almost 40 million views on Twitter (as of July 30, 2020). Jessie Yeung, who works as a digital producer for CNN Digital Worldwide in Hong Kong , describes the resulting controversy over the video as follows:

“The controversy over the BBC Food clip, and the reaction it provoked within certain Asian communities, speaks to a broader, long-standing debate about the intersection of food, ethnicity and culture - the fundamental question of who is allowed to cook what food . ”
