    **RECIPE**
    These are the basic proportions - multiply as needed. I start with six quarts of broth in the video and get 26 ice cubes of demi-glace, each enough to enrich a single portion of pan sauce.
    1 qt (32 oz, 946mL) low-sodium broth or stock (I've had best results with prepackaged chicken broths, but demi-glace is traditional made with veal stock)
    1 1/4 oz (7g) packet unflavored, unsweetened gelatin
    1 teaspoon (5mL) tomato paste
    1 teaspoon (5mL) soy sauce, ideally low-sodium
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder (very optional - most prepackaged broth has onion in it already)
    Put the tomato paste in a large pot, then turn the heat on medium. Spread the paste around the bottom of the pot and stir until it just barely starts to brown. Deglaze with the broth. Stir in all other ingredients and boil over high heat until reduced to about 1/6th of its original volume. Freeze in ice cub trays.

    Q: Why not just combine a stock cube with the gelatin and tomato paste and a little water and call it a day?
    A: Way too salty. A bouillon cube is concentrated animal protein - everything that dangerous bacteria could want. Knorr et al make those products shelf-stable by filling them with more salt than any bacteria could handle. I think even the low-sodium kinds would be too salty for your sauce - this recipe is far more concentrated than all the soups and stews and such for which stock cubes normally work great. Plus, those things taste like stock cubes. Your demi-glace would taste like those seasoning packets from instant ramen, or something. That's similar to the taste I got when I tried this with beef broth, or with lower-quality chicken broth (which I suspect is often made from a concentrate not unlike the stock cube). Only when I did this with a really high-quality chicken stock did I get a taste like real meat. But, do what you can with what you have.
    Q: What other kinds of gelatin are there if I don't eat pig?
    A: I should have mentioned fish gelatin, which is widely available. A lot of Kosher gelatin is made from fish parts. I've seen some halal gelatins that say they're made of cow, probably hides.
    Q: Is there a vegan option?
    A: You can certainly make a delicious, concentrated stock by boiling dried mushrooms for awhile, straining and then reducing. The trick is replicated the sticky texture of the gelatin. I've done some experiments with xanthan gum and agar agar, and they all had the consistency of fresh snot when reduced to a glaze. There are certainly recipes for vegan demi-glace out there - the ones I've seen don't look promising to me. I do wonder if there's a way to combine pectin, agar, etc, and get the right texture through a composite effect. Will be working on it.

      I wanted to suggest maybe instead of trying to visualize the volume of sauce you are boiling down to, you can pour 1 quart of stock in at the beginning and note the depth on a kabob skewer or toothpick. It would be a bit easier to see and there is less guess work.

    Just as a heads up to the people who are planning to make this, be sure to look at the salt content of your low sodium chicken broth. The brand Adam uses is 20mg/serving or 80mg/carton.
    I used 2 cartons that was 35/serving 140/carton + 1 carton of bone broth 95/serving 180/carton and reduced it down to 1/8th and it was pretty darn salty (so I will dilute it a bit when I use it.
    I'm only giving people a heads up because Swanson Brand Low sodium chicken broth is 140mg/serving 560mg/carton which will be 7x more salt than Adam's recipe.

      I think we as foodtube watchers often fancy ourselves to be master cooks in the making, ready to claim the glamor of fine dining for ourselves. But at the end of the day, we're never going to be that. And by skipping to that point, we deny ourselves the skills to just... cook weeknight meals. To eat home cooking that didn't require an entire day of planning. Because failing that, we're just gonna microwave a stouffers. Much better to cultivate skills that contribute to long-term sustainability in our cooking endeavors. Not every meal is going to taste like it was made in a five-star restaurant, but if we focus our energy in the right ways, it might just save us from eating taco bell three meals a day.

      hes just plain wrong in his logic of the joke though, making it seem like restaurants (and people with access to whole/half/quarter animals or primal cuts) are stupid for not using his method. Restaurants make it the traditional way to save money and put every part of the animal to use. They dont go out and buy a package of veal bones. they use bones and vegetables that would have been thrown away if they weren't used to make broth/stock. the cook time doesnt matter because people are always in the kitchen working on other stuff and it only takes a few minutes of active work. so no, buying 6 quarts of stock at 5-6$/quart and gelatin makes zero sense for restaurants and, even for some home cooks. would have been a better video if he acknowledged that. making a joke about how dumb the old method is while failing to realize why its that way just made him sound stupid.

      Culinary schools are filled with inherited traditions, and forward progress is slow. I still remember being told to "work" risotto vigorously while adding stock bit by bit. But Asians have been cooking perfect rice for hundreds of years by adding the right amount of liquid, stirring to a boil, then reducing to a covered simmer for a half hour. So I did exactly that -- all my stock in, boil, lid on, heat down -- and won best risotto dish cooked that day. It was also smugly satisfying to watch everyone else stir furiously for 20 mins while I did cleanup and got ahead on my other dishes.

    A cool trick I have learned when browning tomato paste is to pour a little water/stock (some watery liquid) in the pan to help the paste thin out enough to spread. Then let it reduce, and this helps you get better surface area for more efficient browning. ;)
    You can repeat with more water/liquid to deglaze and go again, until you have cooked the paste to your liking.

    Hi Adam, with vegetarian guests visiting soon I tried this with vegetable stock thickened with just a little xanthan gum right at the end after reduction. While obviously not as meaty it was still pretty good over thick char grilled eggplant.

    Hey Adam, I know you like to return to old recipes with updates. I accidentally bought a tube of Amore Brand sun dried tomato paste, instead of just their tomato paste. They were right beside one another and look almost identical.
    That said, it was a bit of an improvement. I did adjust for salt and dried onion, because salt and spices are added in the Sun dried stuff. They also add oil and tomatoes are more fibrous and have seeds, so I filtered and skimmed for fat/oil (not much oil, of course) at the end.
    The additional step of filtering wasn’t bad, and tasted a bit more like the real thing, in my opinion. Very good, either way.
