    My take on a full recipe:
    Shoyu chicken (That Dude Can Cook)
    Ingredients
    • 4-6 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
    • 1 1/2 cups water
    • 1 cup soy sauce
    • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
    • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, cut into slices
    • 5 garlic cloves, smashed but whole
    • 7 spring onions, chopped in large chunks
    • Garnish with sesame seeds
    • Slurry of cornstarch to thicken (1T - 1.5T mixed with cold water)
    • White rice for service
    Directions
    Add water, soy sauce, aromatics, sugar, vinegar to a pot large enough to hold the chicken.
    Trim fat from chicken, add chicken to pot and marinate for 24 hours or so.
    Bring pot to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes and rotate chicken. Simmer for another 15 minutes and check temp to see if thighs are at 180F. If so, turn off heat and let thighs sit in pan for at least 30 minutes.
    Remove thighs to broiler pan and broil for 3-4 minutes, to brown and crisp skin.
    Remove aromatics from pot, heat to boiling, add cornstarch slurry and thicken
    Serve chicken on white rice, ladling sauce on top.

    Sonny, i couldnt be a bigger fan. I had the benefit of growing up in a family that taught me how to cook at a young age, and then worked in a kitchen for a bit after HS. Once i hit college, i was pretty much the only person in my dorm who would cook- and there was a reason for that. So many people are simply afraid to mess up, and a lot of the "teachers", even out here on social media, are snobs and make even simple dishes really intimidating for someone just trying to pick up the craft and make some decent food. You're the exact opposite- every recipe is presented in such a streamlined way, and you let people know that substitutions can be made- you create a really inviting energy where, even If i know hiw to make the dish already, its just a pleasure to watch your take on it. Ive gained a lot of inspiration from your videos over the years- and im even a bigger fan of you spreading awareness and trying to rally the troops to support Hawaii. I cant believe (not to get political) how the US government just ignored their pwn people, its disgraceful on their end, but youre a mensch. I just was discharged from the hospital a few hours ago and was in a really bad place physically and mentally- Your video really just made life a lot more palatable. Thankyou, seriously. And yes, I did infact teach a lot of people with no experience in the kitchen the basics, and I normally take your approach to showing them the ropes. There's probably 15 people roaming around this rock that I inspired to cook, and that makes me happy (seeing them post their dishes or send me snaps- it's very rewarding in a weird way)- you've inspired hundreds of thousands of people to make a nice meal for themselves or loved ones. I hope you realize all the good you do, you deserve the success.

      A lot of our local cuisine here is shoyu/soy sauce plus sugar lol. I think it stemmed from the plantation days when folks would use whatever they had available and we had soy sauce from Japan and a lot of sugar from the sugar mills. You can also use the same recipe for fatty pork chunks and make Okinawa shoyu pork using this same broth. Also very delicious imo. Swap it out for chuck roast cut up into strips and add hot chili peppers and you can make Hawaiian style hot meat.

    I appreciate when people explain what a particular ingredient is doing and why it works. Once you understand that, not only can you (almost) always find a substitute, but sometimes come up with new amazing creations with no script at all. Also if you eat rice often and have the space, just get a rice cooker, even a $15 one. It just simplifies cooking and cleanup and you can focus on other dishes.

    Heya! :) I've tried the recipe, and the final result was really tasty - I recommend everyone to give it a try. The few changes I made are: I added one regular white onion to the brine (just peeled and quartered), I dialed down the soy sauce volume (this might be an issue with "freedom units" conversion, or using more salty soy sauce) to about 120ml, and after cooking, I didn't strain the aromatics, just took the bigger pieces of ginger out and used a blender to thicken the sauce. I also added 1 teaspoon of honey at this point, which was a good decision. I skipped the cornstarch slurry, as the consistency was pretty much right after my previous steps. Overall, it was delicious, especially considering the worktime needed - thanks for sharing this recipe!

Leave it on the burner and it will be perfectly done in 20 minutes. Alternatively, after bringing it to a boil she would put the pot at the foot of her bed at night and it would warm the bed and the rice would be ready in the morning :-)

    Brown sugar is just white, granulated sugar which has molasses added to it, the amount determines light or dark. If you need dark brown and have light or white, just add a little "black" molasses (it keeps in your cabinet forever and is good for lots of things) to get your sweetness/color where you want it. 😉

      @@jonh74 That's a process and not one u said was duplicated by just mixing them together. However, if you're cooking/baking and require brown sugar, adding the sugar you have and a small amount of molasses (the black-strap, sweet molasses) should approximate the flavor profile you're looking for. 😉

You explain things in such a way that anyone can understand and while some of your meals can be a bit intricate, they're not overly complicated.

    Asian who lived TOO LONG abroad without access to a decent rice cooker here -- big up the rice-cooking technique! I spent my many miserable years perfecting cooking rice in a regular pot and this fella's tips are 100% spot on, every step of the way. Also, fluffing(mixing) the rice immediately after the no-heat steaming period, while it's still warm, minimises sticking as the rice cools; which makes cleaning the pot after MUCH easier. I've never felt this much familial love for a non-Asian chef before!
