Turns out, it was nothing but a still image from a YouTube prank video. Popularly called “the wok guy” on Reddit, he explained in his video that it was all for the sake of a good laugh. YouTuber Kanta posted the video on his popular Japanese channel Mizutamari Bond, featuring an artificial giant fried rice wave. On Twitter, just the screenshot of just Kanta with the fried rice blew up. As for making the solid fried rice “wave,” it cost roughly $4,000.
Now, it has led to photoshop battle on Reddit and Twitter and the results are pretty amazing. Sample these below.
