One of his signature recipes is Korean egg fried rice. He shared tips for making the perfect rice.
"I call this the 10-10-5-rule. I go high heat for 10 minutes. Once it starts boiling, I go medium heat for ten minutes and five minute low high heat," says Cho.
The star says he gets millions of views when he posts videos of rice making.
For Korean fried rice, it takes one bowl of rice to one bowl of the added ingredients.
"You scramble to eggs and put it to the side and then put it in. You don't want a soggy egg, right?" says Cho.
