    Can you do carrots next? They’re super cheap and always come in 10-pound bags
    Whenever we buy them we always end up with a bunch of old shriveled carrots in our fridge drawer

    • @Ryanrulesok
      @Ryanrulesok Рік тому +83

      Don't store them in the fridge unless they are prepped. Store them in a cool dry place. Same as potatoes, parsnips, sweet potatoes etc

    • @plutofloats
      @plutofloats Рік тому +20

      Keep your carrots submerged in water in a sterilized glass jar and put it in the fridge. That way, they stay fresh and crunchy for a longer time :)

      Quick pickled carrots are DELICIOUS and keep in a mason jar for a long time. Use them on sandwiches and chopped on top of hummus, with pulled pork, any very rich meaty dish.

    I really appreciate how Andrew always credits the sources that he referenced in getting to his final dish. I think so often creators don’t do this to add to their own legitimacy (as if they were just born with an innate Rolodex of recipes), but I really like that Andrew acknowledges the people who influenced his dish.

    I grew up in the countryside in the Philippines raised by my farmer grandparents. We grew corn as our main seasonal crop and different vegetables all year round including 3 varieties of eggplants. I actually grew tired eating tortang talong all my childhood but thankful how many times it saved our starving bellies and will always be thankful for these vegetables that my grandparents so lovingly raised. Recently this dish was rated top 7 best rated egg dish all over the world by TasteAtlas and you can imagine how proud I felt that it's getting recognition not just from Filipinos but people all over the world. I'm now living in Toronto and although egplants and eggs are readily available at the market, I haven't had tortang talong in years. The nostalgic and sentimental feelings food brings us is truly amazing!!! ⭐🍆🥚🏅

    Try eggplant parm with only a dusting of flour and pan fry on the eggplant slices sometime. It's lighter but also tastes meatier somehow. I think this style is typical of the part of Italy where my family comes from.

    in case u didn't know already, the simplest eggplant recipes are the most delicious.
    1. steam the eggplants whole until fork tender (the softer the better)
    2. rip the skins off
    3. cut into small chunks
    4. drizzle either some (very) good soy sauce on top or aged balsamic vinegar
    5. if u put soy sauce, then add some fried (burnt) shallots and/or garlic on top with the oil used for frying

    I’m in love with this series. :) Also, you could also have made “Aaloo Baingan” which is a dish eaten with Roti (Indian flatbread), and has potatoes and eggplant. There’s also a VERY TASTY (and MY personal favourite), “Baingan Bhartha”, which is made almost the same was as the dish you made by grilling the eggplants. Another one is a simpler one, wherein you grill the eggplant, and put it in curd with all the masalas, it’s called “Baingan Raita”. These are the most common North Indian ones I can think of.

    Oh man, thanks for featuring tortang talong. I haven't had it in such a long time I've kind of forgotten about it.

    My favourite part visually was Adam preparing the cabbage.
    The green of the leaves looked extra appetizing and it reminded me of a montage from a film.
