As it happens, Adam Smith made a similar point in The Wealth of Nations to explain how the division of labor increases productivity. The quote is something about how your heart isn't into it when you start a task so you keep wasting time when you move between tasks.
Her just standing there holder her mug staring into space for a min before starting is the most relatable thing I've ever seen on a cooking channel. I am absolutely the person whose brain needs extra time to load in the mornings 😂
I am loving these newer videos. Your content has always been so relaxing and calm. I love how confident your have become to start showing your face more and overall how far your channel has grown. Your amazing Imamu. Thank you for being my slice of heaven on this app. (The food looks amazing as usual !!) 🧡🧡🧡
Pastry chef here :) If you over mix/whip your cream and it’s too stiff or clumpy, add a little bit of un-whipped cream and mix it in. It will take it back a step and deflate some of the air you whipped in :D I also have to give credit where it’s due: I’ve never thought of using cream AND a bit of water to substitute for milk. I’ve always just used cream. Very resourceful :)
I think the milk and water combo is pretty common for households that don’t normally have cream on hand. In S.Korea, cream is some times substituted with boiled down milk and water to make quick homemade dishes like cream pasta. Not exactly the same but good enough!
@@fishycreationsit’s just not the correct texture when it’s over whipped. instead of a smooth fluffy whipped cream, it turns a bit clumpy and too thick. the flavor is same but it’s just a texture/technical error. hope this helps :)
We usually cut the skin (we call it the rind) off of bacon before cooking. It's too tough to eat. It has almost always been removed from packaged sliced bacon but not from the big pieces that we get from the butcher shop. You can simmer the rinds in stock or sauce for added flavor. Just remember to remove them before serving.
I was hoping someone would know! I was curious about this myself, I’ve never bought butcher shop bacon before. Good tip about making a stock from the rind!
@stephaniefagan1736 That's likely why it's left on in the first place. Of course, if you're just frying the bacon, it's best to remove it before cooking and save it for another use. If it's boiled until tender and then deep-fried, it puffs up and becomes a crispy and tasty snack.
Quoting Alton Brown: “Shallots are like… well imagine if an onion and a head of garlic got together, got married and had a kid.” They grow in cloves like garlic but each clove is made from rings like an onion. And, quote again, “They won’t play havoc with your breath.”
It's commonly adzuki beans, but you can substitute kidney beans for similar results. There's also white bean paste, which is made from lima beans or other white beans!
Hello! This is a silly comment, but I like how you use newspapers to make dividers for vegetables in your fridge. I want to try that now! Your breakfast looked wonderful
Imamu, it’s so fun to see your face! I want you to know I make “Japanese breakfast” or “Imamu meals” once a week now. Tonight we had rice, miso with shiitake, tofu, and green onion, sautéed shishito peppers, and a chicken and broccoli stir fry. Thanks for making Japanese food so accessible to me, my husband and I love it.
I love that you are not afraid to improvise whenever you cook. No milk? No baking powder? No problem! 😁 I have had to do this a few times when I didn't realize I was out of an ingredient, but had already started preparing the dish, so I had to get creative.
I absolutely loved your husbento series. It taught me so many things about cooking and also about not taking cooking so seriously. That part of your video content will always have a special place in my heart. That said, I am already fond of this new video style! I like seeing the start to finish process and how you choose the ingredients and what your local market looks like. It makes me think more about not doing once a week grocery shopping and making an experience out of it instead of another chore! 😁 the new video style definitely feels “slice of life” and slower, and I love it.
I have cooked so many of your dishes - my husband loves them! ❤ I always put you on at night if my baby is having trouble sleeping. The music and quiet sounds put her right to sleep.
Excellent video. I enjoy the calming music, and hearing small bits of conversation between you, your daughter, and your husband. Seeing you now is also wonderful, as you have a calming presence here. Thank you!
I didn't realize that you could make sweetened red bean paste with red kidney beans! (I adore dorayaki and usually have bought it because while I know how to make the pancakes, the only recipes for red bean paste I ever found wanted beans that I cannot get here.) So thank you for that! I will add that into my recipe file and probably make dorayaki soon. I also wanted to say thank you for including your family conversations. I'm slowly learning Japanese and hearing your conversations helps so much! You don't speak as quickly as some of the UA-cam channels I follow and while I still do not understand everything, I hear more and more words that I know and hearing them in conversation helps me to know them better. (Today is one of those days that I worry I will never learn enough Japanese to hold more than a very basic, baby-talk type of conversation. But I persevere because I am stubborn.) 😁
This channel has given me so much comfort even in the short time I’ve been here, but I have watched every video multiple times. I am so happy for all of the new content, and every time a new video uploads my heart SOARS ❤ This channel gives me a glimpse of what a normal, beautiful family should be and heals some of my childhood traumas ❤
Thank you for another lovely video! I loved the scene where you spaced out drinking coffee. That’s me EVERY morning LOL! You asked what the difference between onions and shallots was. I don’t know either other than the price 🤪 I feel ‘fancy’ when I use them. Thank you and I look forward to seeing your next video.❤
I think this is a smoked and cured bacon. We have them similar in Germany. You are suppose to cut it in thin stripes and eat it as it is. Not for pan frying, I think. It will make it hard to eat indeed. Such a fun video! Thank you!
Your and your family antics always makes me smile. I can't believe it's almost two years since I subscribed to this channel. I always watch your videos when my college lives gets hard
Bacon rind is tough but chewy and edible. Some people like it but it's fallen out of favor in the states, so most bacon comes rind free now. You can probably ask the store to cut it off for you next time if you don't like it or you can cut it off before you cook and then save it to use it in stocks as well. There's also a snack that consists of frying rinds till they're light and crispy (not healthy but delicious) that's popular in some southern states.
I have loved your videos for a long time. Thank you for your efforts. I have cooked some of your recipes before and we love them. Thank you for your updates. I would like to see a meal cooked start to finish. Shopping for ingredients, prepping, cooking, and plating please
You are a delight imamu, you’re beautiful and calming, the food looks delicious, and your videos never fail to make my day better. Thank you so much for sharing with us ❤
I love seeing you and your family. You are my favorite. Your daughters laugh can turn anyone's day brighter. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your life with us 🎉❤😊
So glad to see a new video - and we get to see you after so long! Shallots are said to be like a mix of onion and garlic - they are milder than an onion and often sweeter. Since I love onions and garlic, I love shallots are use them whenever I can.
Wow wow wow so excited to see your beautiful and happy face! I love your hair. Your videos always make me happy and inspire me. You have helped me learn several Japanese recipes to surprise my husband with a taste of his youth. Thanks for your channel. 😊❤
Been watching you for a couple years now and just wanted to say I'm glad you started showing yourself. I hope you know you're as pretty as your heart and all of your edible art. Never stop cooking. 🫶
It's nice to see you Imamu! I always feel cozy when I watch your videos, now seeing you makes it more friendly somehow. Please don't stop making videos!
Thank you for your videos, I have been watching for so long and have loved them all so much. I appreciate your care free attitude towards cooking, like swapping ingredients just because it’s what you want to do. It has helped me not be so nervous about screwing up while cooking and enjoying the process more. It’s also very wonderful to see your daughter being raised in an environment with such a positive outlook on food. It’s very different from what I grew up with, so I appreciate seeing it. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family ❤️
Girl - I get the zoned out - don't talk to me til I have at least a sip of coffee - shallots I find have more "spice" - OMG you need an immersion blender - do it right in the pot!!! I want to have breakfast with you looks so yummy...
OMG It's your face! You are so beautiful but I knew that long before you showed your face. This channel and your wholesome spirit got me through some tough times. Much love from South Africa
The difference between shallots and onions is the taste and they dont burn as much in the eyes then normal onions. They are also not used for frying but for cold dishes.
Thank you for showing your beautiful face. No pressure to continue, but it was so nice. I've been following for a long time, and your videos always get a thumbs up before I even start watching. This one was really special ❤
Imamu it's so lovely to see your face and hear your family talking together. I've watched your content for so long... It makes me so happy that you're sharing such intimate things with us ❤❤I
Imamu you and your family are SO precious! I always look forward to your videos, and wait patiently for the next! It's so nice seeing the face behind all these amazing meals!
I have watched all your videos and LOVEEEEEEE you content! been following you almost since the start!! I love that you are now showing your face! You are beautiful!! Thank you for always making videos and sharing it with all of us!
I love your videos so much. I always watch on my TV, and I never comment on any videos. I had to get my phone out and log in to reach out. You are beautiful!!!!! I love that you are showing your faces. The camera angle at peeling lotus root was so nicely framed. You have taught me so well, through your relaxing videos. I buy powder miso seasoning now and add it to so much. I also make better rice and fried rice. I was brave and made my first croquettes last week. Thank you. For changing my life.
Your channel is something my family and I watch, I’ve probably watched each of your videos at least 2 times 😅. Thank you for your content, it helps give us inspiration to cook and it’s very soothing to watch. There is something about how you film and talk to your audience which is very restorative, thank you Imamu ❤. I’ve even started cooking dishes inspired by yours!
"Motivation often comes after starting," is such a powerful statement. I love it.
As it happens, Adam Smith made a similar point in The Wealth of Nations to explain how the division of labor increases productivity. The quote is something about how your heart isn't into it when you start a task so you keep wasting time when you move between tasks.
So true!
Oh I thought it said "after staring" because she was staring blankly at that moment. LOL Her quote is much deeper than what I read.
So true though, sometimes you just gotta start it, and the ball only starts rolling 15 minutes into it
Taking that in
Her just standing there holder her mug staring into space for a min before starting is the most relatable thing I've ever seen on a cooking channel. I am absolutely the person whose brain needs extra time to load in the mornings 😂
“Brain loading, please hold” is the most relatable thing here
Omg I thought the same thing when I saw it haha I was like same girl, same.
WHERE ARE YOU IMAMU????????
SHE STARTED SHOWİNG HER FACEOMG OMGOMGOGMOGGMOGMG SHE SO PRETTYYY
Yes! She is very pretty.
RIGHT!!
Yeahhh, agreed!!! Last time only sees her hands doing all things. Girl you are pretty~
XD actually from last week iirc but yeahhh she's so prettyy
Gorgeous
I am loving these newer videos. Your content has always been so relaxing and calm. I love how confident your have become to start showing your face more and overall how far your channel has grown.

@@chromeaces It's cream and water, since water will dilute the cream enough to a milk like texture.
You can use cream and water as a substitute for milk. The ratio is 1:1 😊
hi!! i was curious, what's "wrong" with stiff whipped cream?
@@fishycreationsit’s just not the correct texture when it’s over whipped. instead of a smooth fluffy whipped cream, it turns a bit clumpy and too thick. the flavor is same but it’s just a texture/technical error. hope this helps :)

We love rind bacon. Cooked another way, it become crackling. Delicious.
@stephaniefagan1736 That's likely why it's left on in the first place. Of course, if you're just frying the bacon, it's best to remove it before cooking and save it for another use. If it's boiled until tender and then deep-fried, it puffs up and becomes a crispy and tasty snack.
@@mustwereallydothisfried pork rinds are great
@@mustwereallydothis never boiled. Smokey flavored lost. Deep fried.
I think the difference between shallots and onions is that the shallots cook quicker and can be sweeter
I would add that they are less pungent than standard onions, which makes eating them raw easier.
Shallots are my go to now, their smaller size is ideal too…was wasting half an onion all the time.
onions are the meaner cousin to shallots, onions make you cry more hahaha
They are kind of a mix between garlic and onion too! I love how they crisp up and are great for toppings ❤
Quoting Alton Brown:
“Shallots are like… well imagine if an onion and a head of garlic got together, got married and had a kid.”
They grow in cloves like garlic but each clove is made from rings like an onion. And, quote again, “They won’t play havoc with your breath.”
I didn't think you could make red bean paste so easily, I thought it was a special kind of red bean, I will definitely have to try making it now!
It's commonly adzuki beans, but you can substitute kidney beans for similar results. There's also white bean paste, which is made from lima beans or other white beans!
Right????
Hello! This is a silly comment, but I like how you use newspapers to make dividers for vegetables in your fridge. I want to try that now! Your breakfast looked wonderful
Imamu, it’s so fun to see your face! I want you to know I make “Japanese breakfast” or “Imamu meals” once a week now. Tonight we had rice, miso with shiitake, tofu, and green onion, sautéed shishito peppers, and a chicken and broccoli stir fry. Thanks for making Japanese food so accessible to me, my husband and I love it.
That's the most organized refrigerator I've ever seen.
i'd like to see a fridge tour
I love that you are not afraid to improvise whenever you cook. No milk? No baking powder? No problem! 😁
I have had to do this a few times when I didn't realize I was out of an ingredient, but had already started preparing the dish, so I had to get creative.
I love seeing your face. You are beautiful and look as calm as all the videos you have made that have made me feel peaceful and welcome in your home.
You know, I miss the old videos because I loved them so much, but I also adore the new videos because they show so much of the family fun ❤
Imamu you really made me start cooking more at home! Thank you for the delicious meals!
Some of the coziest videos on the internet! Thank you for being here and sharing your delicious creations with us!

Oooo a new Imamu video! I can already tell it's going to be lovely as always~
I have cooked so many of your dishes - my husband loves them! ❤
I always put you on at night if my baby is having trouble sleeping. The music and quiet sounds put her right to sleep.
I always get so happy to see you post. Your videos are very comforting for me, it might sound dumb but it makes me feel a little less alone
I was so surprised to see your face! You're very beautiful, thank you for the wonderful video as always 🥰
Excellent video. I enjoy the calming music, and hearing small bits of conversation between you, your daughter, and your husband. Seeing you now is also wonderful, as you have a calming presence here. Thank you!
Seeing your videos feel so cozy! It makes me happy every time I see you uploaded a new video!
What a breakfast! Luxurious indeed. I didnt think that the red bean paste could be so easy to make!
It's nice to meet Imamu Mama! I enjoy learning from you how to make these great meals!
I didn't realize that you could make sweetened red bean paste with red kidney beans! (I adore dorayaki and usually have bought it because while I know how to make the pancakes, the only recipes for red bean paste I ever found wanted beans that I cannot get here.) So thank you for that! I will add that into my recipe file and probably make dorayaki soon.

I love seeing the grocery shopping :)
This channel has given me so much comfort even in the short time I’ve been here, but I have watched every video multiple times. I am so happy for all of the new content, and every time a new video uploads my heart SOARS ❤ This channel gives me a glimpse of what a normal, beautiful family should be and heals some of my childhood traumas ❤
This is what I needed today. Thank you for your videos. (And what a revelation that you can make red bean paste so easily!)
Imamu I love you, your videos makes me believe that a better, more relaxing and wholesome life is possible ❤❤
Everything looks delicious!!
That dessert with the pancakes looks really good! So does the carrot soup! 😃😃😃😃
Thank you for another lovely video! I loved the scene where you spaced out drinking coffee. That’s me EVERY morning LOL! You asked what the difference between onions and shallots was. I don’t know either other than the price 🤪 I feel ‘fancy’ when I use them. Thank you and I look forward to seeing your next video.❤
It's great to see you again, and I'm excited to hear that you've got some new recipes up your sleeve! I can't wait to hear all about them.
The sweets look delicious 😊 now I know that we can make red bean paste at home! Thank you
i love how cozy your kitchen feels!

Wonderful. I enjoy watching your cooking and learn too. Thank you.

Ah this food all looks so yummy!! Why am i watching this at bedtime?
Just finished making your carrot soup! It’s so delicious. Thank you for sharing!
OMG It's your face! You are so beautiful but I knew that long before you showed your face. This channel and your wholesome spirit got me through some tough times. Much love from South Africa
This music sounds like it's from Fantastic Planet. Amazing video 😊
Yay!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ just in time for me to take a homework break!
I recommend cooking the bacon even more, the hard part becomes SUPER crispy, very delicious 👍
The difference between shallots and onions is the taste and they dont burn as much in the eyes then normal onions. They are also not used for frying but for cold dishes.
You are so pretty! I’m glad you are comfortable with sharing your face with us.
I also space out while drinking my morning coffee 😂
those pancakes looks so tasty!
Thank you for showing your beautiful face. No pressure to continue, but it was so nice. I've been following for a long time, and your videos always get a thumbs up before I even start watching. This one was really special ❤
I really want to try these lotus root chips! They seem more refreshing than potato chips.
Thank you for the hard work, Imamu!
A shallot is like if you mixed an onion and a garlic together! 😄
So much that I love about this video!!
Imamu it's so lovely to see your face and hear your family talking together. I've watched your content for so long... It makes me so happy that you're sharing such intimate things with us ❤❤I

Imamu you and your family are SO precious! I always look forward to your videos, and wait patiently for the next! It's so nice seeing the face behind all these amazing meals!
The look on your face while you were spaced out is me every morning in the shower haha

After a long day!❤ thank you!
Mmmm...I love red bean paste! Oishi!
I love your videos so much. I always watch on my TV, and I never comment on any videos. I had to get my phone out and log in to reach out. You are beautiful!!!!!
I love that you are showing your faces. The camera angle at peeling lotus root was so nicely framed.
You have taught me so well, through your relaxing videos. I buy powder miso seasoning now and add it to so much. I also make better rice and fried rice. I was brave and made my first croquettes last week.
Thank you. For changing my life.
It's really exciting to think of what you'll see in the new style videos. I like how you're changing your style when you feel like it!
Your channel is something my family and I watch, I’ve probably watched each of your videos at least 2 times 😅. Thank you for your content, it helps give us inspiration to cook and it’s very soothing to watch. There is something about how you film and talk to your audience which is very restorative, thank you Imamu ❤.
I’ve even started cooking dishes inspired by yours!
