  1. Wait, toasting bread is weird? Does your country not usually do the delicious magic of butter toasted bread?!

  2. Gyudon is great, I make it every now and then. Kinda pain to slice beef paper thin manually though, wish I had a deli slicer. Though I’ve discovered that half freezing the beef and using a long razor sharp sashimi knife work surprisingly well.

    I’ve also spent actual years trying to make good fried rice, but it’s really hard without a proper wok and a stupidly powerful gas burner. I’ve only recently managed to make something that I’m somewhat satisfied with, using a flat bottom wok on an induction burner and a blow torch in an attempt to emulate the wokhei flavor.

  3. Andy, when you take chicken out of the packaging, do you ever peel any layers of skin or do anything to get rid of the mucus parts? In certain cultures they always wash their chicken to remove those things, obviously it spreads bacteria that people tend to clean up afterwards. Thanks.

  4. @12:45 the instant pot can make rice quick. 3 min high pressure cook, then 10 min natural release and its done. with the time it takes to preheat the instant pot its about 15 min exactly.

  5. I reject the claim at 12:52 that rice cannot be cooked in 15 minutes. Instant pot can easily accomplish this and its pretty common here in the US to have one. 1 part rice : 1.25 part water, cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, 10 minutes slow release pressure and then open it up and bam, beautifully cooked rice in 13 minutes. I will be trying your Gyudon with my rice someday!

  6. To stop your egg cracking when you place it into boiling water, pierce the bigger end where the air pocket is, this allows the pressure to escape from the expanding insides.

  7. I’m from the US and I didn’t learn about poaching until I started cooking for myself and working in restaurants. My dad would make New Mexican style enchiladas when I was a kid and he would BOIL sliced meat for them. Always wondered if it had to be that tough and turns out no, absolutely not. Needless to say I’ve adapted the recipe.

  8. I'm guilty of loving this series. I just bought stuff for Arayes yet again (I haven't had it with lamb yet, since that isn't that isn't done usually). I've already spotted a few things to try!

  9. My favourite lazy meal is just some spaghetti with freshly cracked black pepper, olive oil and a squeeze or two of lemon.

  10. We used to do this at lunch in grade school. Just raw ramen packets crunchy as hell. And I still add peanut butter to my indomie. And respect for the chili crisp

  11. I've done that first one…. I'll have to try it with peanut butter next time.
    but normally I used the Sous-vide Air-fry finished Porketta and a poached egg.
