Video idea! I'm a semi/lorry driver, my truck I have a small air fryer, a kettle, 2 mixing bowls, a knife, a small cutting board, paper plates and bowls and a mini fridge with a small built in freezer. I challenge you boys to go shopping, no budget, and using what I have available in my truck see who can cook the most amount of meals, the rules are you can only use what can fit in a single mini fridge. To make it interesting, some drivers choose to have a microwave, so maybe the boys can choose to either have a microwave, or an air fryer and kettle. Also I don't have access to running water regularly, so have to use bottled water.
They forgot to cook the corn milk. It actually thickens when cooked. You can make creamless creamed corn by folding corn kernels into cooked and thickened corn milk. Finish with butter and scallions (and bacon), as you like.
So true 😄. Saffron is just so wrong in this application. It's delicate so you don't want to drown it in butter, cheese and bake it for an hour... This dish calls for heavier spices. Additionally, while I guess that it tastes ok, I'm willing to bet that a set of onion rings with all of the butter, cheese and spices as a dipping sauce would win hands down
I love how all four of the guys are very different personality-wise, but they all get along really well and they're all extremely charming. I've been watching for years and never once have I thought, you know, I like them all except for.... there's never an exception, I always enjoy the videos and their dynamic.
In Germany, onions are usually filled with some sort of minced meat, a grain (usually rice now but pearl barley a hundred plus years ago), and just about any spice you can get your hands on. This was traditionally a wartime recipe.
@2:00 Townsends is a early American cooking channel and they did an episode on this recently and it's much older than you might think. This is just a baked onion with extra steps. Onion, butter, seasoning, bake. You can even do it with the skin on, adds more flavor.
Cut large onion in half, remove two outer layers, place in baking dish on little supports made from aluminum foil, stuff. Cover dish and bake, uncover to carmelize at end. Faster, less mess.
I'd just cut the onion into quarters, put it in a ramekin, put butter and spices, cover it with tin foil, remove at the end to add cheese and gratinate it. Them eat in the ramekin over a plate.
I'd love a series where a normal and a chef take some of the best and most enjoyed food trends and then attempt to elevate them. One from a homecook perspective and another from a chefy gormet perspective.
The Sang Har Mee needs to be fried a larger pan or wok so more oil can be scooped up to fry the flying bit. Poor Mike was having trouble getting enough hot oil to do the job properly.
Gotta say boys, I was hoping I’d get used to the live audience but it’s still really jarring and feels like I’m watching footage of a past show rather than hanging out with mates. Sorry to give critical feedback because I love your stuff in general and otherwise the main content of this video was great
Not only does it suck ass its obvious the boys are more performative when they have an audience to "entertain" which makes the whole thing jarring and less natural.
Malaysian here. You guys did great on that Sang Har Mee. Been to the restaurant once and it feels more of a gimmick - the flavor's decent but its on the pricer side due to the prawns. Though there are similar dishes over here without the flying noodles that would cost significantly cheaper as well.
If anybody wants to know how to make an onion boil properly without all the “fave of the moment” hype sometimes the old ways really are the best ways :D Core an onion put in a teaspoon of bullion powder (chicken stock or a bullion cube) pack it with butter, a pinch of pepper, maybe some Bayline and a little paprika for colour (sprinkle that mixture over the top as well for extra flavour if you like) set them on some foil on a baking sheet (don’t wrap the foil around the onion!) bake for 40 minutes or an hour and done, brown, roasted goodness! Also leave the sliced cheese out. Whoever thinks that is going to work inside a hot steamy “container” and not just be a plasticky soupy mess is just being silly! If you really want a little “au gratin” action, sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top for the last 10 minutes of the roast :D
The onion boils, my family have done these since i was born. But parents always made onions with cheddar cheese, butter and garlic powder then. The big difference only happens during bbq's they throw them in tinfoiled in the corener nex to the coals, whilst the other sauages and food is cooked on the grill above
I don't like when background laughs or applause are constant through a video, but the clapping at the noodles standing up was just the right use of that!!
I love you guys so much that I hate saying anything critical, but the clapping and audience noises are so jarring. Takes it from feeling like I'm hanging out with friends to feeling like a morning talk show. Not that those are bad, Sorted has just always been more like a comfy hangout, it felt relaxing and cozy before without the audience.
Yup. A number of us have been commenting on it, but doesn't seem like enough of us are bothered by it for them to change it. I don't care if they have people there, but the over acting and using it as a laugh track has just been a bit much.
@@Allerocexcept none of them are "acting". The guys have been the exact same as before or as they still are when theres no audience. They just are that energetic and sometimes chaotic. Thats what makes this channel so fun. Also the audience are genuine viewers having genuine fun. They are part of the people who got them to where they are now. Also its not like the online audience is an afterthought now. They are interacting with us at home just as much. Its a great thing that they are connecting with their fans irl and in videos. Not just hidden away off camera. Sorted has changed lives. Thats just a fact. And to keep that bond with the audience you will want to get to know some of them personally at some point
5:04 when camping we used to just put a single bouillon cube in the center and covered the onion with butter then threw it fully wrapped in foil into the fire for about 20-30 min. Phenomenally caramelized full onion pops out
@@redeye1016 Yanks don't really know how to comment on UA-cam content that's made solely by Brits for Brits, it's a bit out of their kind's knowledge range
My family (Eastern European) have been eating stuffed onions forever. Yeah, we've never wrapped them individually in foil, since it doesn't crisp up the top. Usually stuffed with sausage, cooked in a pan filled with stock, broiled for a little while to finish off.
"as all the best things in the world are"....a little 'proud moment' for your japanese fan lol🤣 Baz, youve got quite a few brownie pointes from me on that one🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was happily watching the video and all of a sudden I hear random laughter and applause, pulling me away from what I was watching. I just cannot get used to the audience. Love the concept of the video, love seeing trends and the reaction to them. Do not like the supporting laugh track.
The audience are genuine viewers having genuine fun. Its a great thing that brings the channel forward. More personal connection with your fans within your content can never be a bad thing. I hope they really include them in the video at some point.
No but I found Escoffier's recipe for stuffing onions, because I watched Max Miller's tasting history about stuffing apples for the titanic breakfast menu. That recipe looked similar.
Brazilian here, never saw anyone doing this kind of thing with corn here BUT maybe there is, because we have many uses for corn, besides corn starch and corn flour. Look for PAMONHA and CURAL, they're some classical "country bumpkin" (?) desserts and they're delicious.
🥕Talking about stuffing veggies. Beryl Shereshewsky did an episode on carrots recently, she did a dish from the Levant I hadn't seen in ages, "Jazar Mahshi". You need large carrots as you stuff them with beef & spices. Their natural sweetness of the carrots make it a great dish. 🥕
I've been doing something similar to the onion boil trick for a couple decades. I just cut an onion in half, scoop out a hollow from the core big enough to fit a cube of French Onion Soup bouillon, wrap it up and toss it into the oven. The water from the onion reconstitutes the bouillon cube and the onion cooks down into heavenly goodness. Spread over a steak or burger, or as a side, so simple and yet wows people every time.
My friends have done the onions for years. We put them in the smoker when we are doing meats as part of the side dish banquet. It adds another layer of flavor.
the onions are also GREAT to cook like this while camping- I usually just throw in a bullion cube, wrap in foil, and toss it in the coals of the campfire.
Would love to see the Chefs experiment with the onion boil! Immediately I though why not do it similar to a stuffed pepper and put pork/sausage in it. Could also vent it half way in the oven, and maybe pat dry and oil the outside of the onion to maybe get some texture?
I recently had a hollowed-out onion dish at a restaurant here. They hollowed it out and then put in a stuffing made of caramelized onions, and briefly broiled without the foil wrap - so no steamed mess. It was very good, though you're basically just eating the stuffing because the outside isn't cooked through, since it has to maintain structure to hold together.
The onion boil… would love to see a French onion boil take. Soup dumpling style broth baked and then covered in cheese and breadcrumbs and grilled…That would probably be amazing.
Tastes amazing, I don't go for the breadcrumbs and cheese aspect but I halve the onion, scoop out the center, toss a French Onion Soup cube then wrap and put it in the oven. Goes great over a steak or burger.
@@AjG-ly2ypthat does sound pretty good and might give it a go! I was just wondering how to get the toasted baguette and cheese element into it…. I’m sure Jamie could figure out a way to panné it too…
We have a very similar dish in Cantonese cuisine, and you want that bottom layer to be extra extra crispy, since the sauce will soften it as it gets to the table and is shared. We usually have it with lobster, and the crunchiest parts are my absolute favorite part of the dish since it works with the softened, soupier noodles
Don't know about calling it an "Onion Boil", but a "Baked Onion" wasn't unheard of growing up in 70's UK. Sometimes done in the same tray as baked tatties, occasionally wrapped in pastry like an individual pie. Was a pretty inexpensive way to put food on the table. 🧅
@@waywardsisters918 As they say, "There's nothing new under the sun". I find it quite fun seeing a next generation discovering "new" things that are old to me. Wonder if liver & onions will make a comeback? 😆Did you ever get an onion that had been wrapped in herby suet pastry & baked? I really enjoyed that.
for the Sang Har mee, yes a bigger wok helps because its easier to spoon oil over, but it also helps to start all the noodles in the oil first, then you pull some up and finish it off with oil. Starting it in the oil helps the process get going better
With the onions you could roast them, covered in foil in a dish. Remove foil add the butter, seaonings and grater cheese on for the last 20/25 minutes. Just a thought.
The onion boil reminds me of stuffed onions which we used to make a lot when I was young. instead of hollowing out the onion that way we would separate the layers (either steam/boil the onions to make them soft first or slit the side and work your fingers around to get each layer separate or very carefully try to separate the layers and not break them) and put the onions in a baking pan. Then cook the bits of chopped onion from the very centres bacon and ground beef with salt and pepper stuff the onions and then make a cheese sauce and pout over the onions and bake....suggested to serve with mashed potatoes. The version you made seems like mostly just a lot of fat with onions....the cheese sauce and bacon and minced beef makes a huge difference and makes it work as a main dish.
I only go on TikTok because my pet sheep have a channel there. I none surprisingly then don’t get many food videos suggested and miss all these weird and wonderful trends.
It's the Dad Joke of The Week: So, I annoyed a wizard the other day. Big mistake. He turned my wife into a breakfast! I still love her though, she's my Honey, Butter Toast.
Please do a series on Fermentation and foraging for ingredients. I really want to learn to make kombucha and other things, and yes, i could look it up. But i'd rather learn from Ben and Kush and the guys
I love pan fried noodle dishes. They've been around a long time. The flying chopsticks definitely sound like a gimmick to draw attention on social media.
I have mixed feelings regarding the new studio and the live audience. Iloved the old studio. It felt more intimate. The guys seemed more at ease and not so scripted. The new space lacks warmth and charm. I do love you all ❤
Thats just wrong. Nothing about it sounds "scripted". Its exactly like before just with VIEWERS having genuine fun in the background. The viewers are part of what got them to where they are. And that is NOT only the ones in front of the screens at home. Its the live audience as well. Having a live audience is a great way to give back. Remember that Sorted has genuinely changed lives.
Suggestion to try for Flying Noodles: Pot of Hot oil on the side and a mildly warmed pan to hold the noodles in as you ladle the oil over all of it. Should keep the bottom bottles from getting as burned. Would be even better with an infused flavored oil!
This is interesting to me because in America it was presented to us as an onion boil because it used all the spices that went into a crab or crawfish boil. There wasn't any cheese at all.
For years I've done a version of those onions by dropping in a beef bullion cube and covering to the top of the hole with a pad or two of butter and a little grated gruyere. I usually bake with the foil only coming up half way This is great on it's own, very reminiscent of French onion soup, but can also be used as a starting point.
The stuffed onion reminded me of my mother's stuffed green peppers, or even her stuffed mushrooms. I loved, loved, loved the flying chopstick gimmick. I can see a restaurant doing this here and that in itself would draw people to it. Not a fan of coffee, so the corn infused coffee would be a "no" for me. I do think the honey buttered toast would work like the flying chopsticks in bringing people into a restaurant. It might be too sweet for my taste though. In all four of these dishes, you would not want to do them very often with the levels of dairy and oils being added to your arteries.
Heavens,! Different countries, different cultures, different cuisines. I'm ancient and can't remember a time when cheese and onion weren't a thing. Just lucky I guess😏
After Mike's forced laugh at Jamie's tiktok joke, I knew there was something off about this video. Only had to wait until 3:02 for confirmation of the reason.
I initially thought it was just a crew and staff laugh? It didn’t feel like full on audience laugh initially, but yep, later it did. If crew and the other staff are there laughing I don’t have an issue with that at all. That’s just a great work environment…
@@Shelsight I agree. When it's the crew laughing, it feels organic, and after something that feels like it's earnt that reaction naturally. When there's a proper audience, everything feels forced. The boys act up to them too much.
I do miss the cooking battles showing off tips and skills for cooking. I regularly reference older videos, such as the roast battle with James. It seems those videos are a thing of the past 😢
The last two were very much like that, with 3 of them cooking, then 2, but gaining tips and hints grim the chefs. I agree I prefer the learning & technique videos, but as long as they do more of those and keep their natural banter going, I don’t mind the odd TikTok trend and chaotic tinned slop student videos. I think they’re definitely getting that more adult ‘be the best home cook you can be with top cheffy tips’ content back. And I’m really enjoying it again.
The first item took me back to the time you made Kebab with Lavash Bread. All the tomatoes and stuff roasting with the meat. P.S. OBVIOUSLY BARRY CHOSE SAFFRON P.P.S. It’s actually (raises glasses) Gochu-garu.
Video idea! I'm a semi/lorry driver, my truck I have a small air fryer, a kettle, 2 mixing bowls, a knife, a small cutting board, paper plates and bowls and a mini fridge with a small built in freezer. I challenge you boys to go shopping, no budget, and using what I have available in my truck see who can cook the most amount of meals, the rules are you can only use what can fit in a single mini fridge.

i agree thats a cool idea. There should also be a score for tastiness so its not just number of dishes.
Barry asking to put saffron in his onion boil is him reminding everyone he is the prince of pretention... Just in case anyone forgot that!

My family did something similar with green bell peppers. Stuff with ground beef and rice, bake on a tray in a bed of tomato sauce.
meat and rice is just the best filling for any kind of vegetable. that grease madness looked disgusting to me.
@@AjG-ly2yp try cooking them in a pot covered in the sauce. much better. juicy filling and the sauce gets to be delicious.
I’m going to try this version. I can imagine any fat rendered out would flavour the onion too
Me: A wartime recipe? Cant be near World WW2, that's not 100 years ago *looks at the date* Jesus
I'm glad Mike brought up his flying cereal dish because its immediately what I thought of when I saw the thumbnail.
Same! So good to see them callback their old battles, they were what got me in to the channel.
@2:00 Townsends is a early American cooking channel and they did an episode on this recently and it's much older than you might think. This is just a baked onion with extra steps. Onion, butter, seasoning, bake. You can even do it with the skin on, adds more flavor.

The triumphant return of Mike's honey on toast

If anybody wants to know how to make an onion boil properly without all the “fave of the moment” hype sometimes the old ways really are the best ways :D
Core an onion put in a teaspoon of bullion powder (chicken stock or a bullion cube) pack it with butter, a pinch of pepper, maybe some Bayline and a little paprika for colour (sprinkle that mixture over the top as well for extra flavour if you like) set them on some foil on a baking sheet (don’t wrap the foil around the onion!) bake for 40 minutes or an hour and done, brown, roasted goodness!
Also leave the sliced cheese out. Whoever thinks that is going to work inside a hot steamy “container” and not just be a plasticky soupy mess is just being silly! If you really want a little “au gratin” action, sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top for the last 10 minutes of the roast :D

My family (Eastern European) have been eating stuffed onions forever. Yeah, we've never wrapped them individually in foil, since it doesn't crisp up the top. Usually stuffed with sausage, cooked in a pan filled with stock, broiled for a little while to finish off.

The flying noodles should have been made with a deeper pot of oil. That way could get more oil onto the flying part faster.
I like the concept of the onion boil, but as a person who dislikes onions, I'm wondering what else would work with that concept. Potato boil?

Don't know about calling it an "Onion Boil", but a "Baked Onion" wasn't unheard of growing up in 70's UK. Sometimes done in the same tray as baked tatties, occasionally wrapped in pastry like an individual pie. Was a pretty inexpensive way to put food on the table. 🧅
I remember that, mum did not have much money, and it was a tasty, cheap meal.
@@waywardsisters918 As they say, "There's nothing new under the sun". I find it quite fun seeing a next generation discovering "new" things that are old to me. Wonder if liver & onions will make a comeback? 😆Did you ever get an onion that had been wrapped in herby suet pastry & baked? I really enjoyed that.
for the Sang Har mee, yes a bigger wok helps because its easier to spoon oil over, but it also helps to start all the noodles in the oil first, then you pull some up and finish it off with oil. Starting it in the oil helps the process get going better
With the onions you could roast them, covered in foil in a dish. Remove foil add the butter, seaonings and grater cheese on for the last 20/25 minutes. Just a thought.
Another one where you can tell theres an audience before you even hear their disruptive laughter, the boys are so different when they're there 🙄
Year of Mike continues: the world copies Mike floating cereal but they're using noodles instead
The onion boil reminds me of stuffed onions which we used to make a lot when I was young. instead of hollowing out the onion that way we would separate the layers (either steam/boil the onions to make them soft first or slit the side and work your fingers around to get each layer separate or very carefully try to separate the layers and not break them) and put the onions in a baking pan. Then cook the bits of chopped onion from the very centres bacon and ground beef with salt and pepper stuff the onions and then make a cheese sauce and pout over the onions and bake....suggested to serve with mashed potatoes. The version you made seems like mostly just a lot of fat with onions....the cheese sauce and bacon and minced beef makes a huge difference and makes it work as a main dish.
the noodles were so magic that they made the onions reappear in the oven
I only go on TikTok because my pet sheep have a channel there. I none surprisingly then don’t get many food videos suggested and miss all these weird and wonderful trends.
Pet sheep?! Amazing!!
luckily, because if your sheep for you to food related videos I'm sure you would've used the channel for other means than showing off your pet
It's the Dad Joke of The Week:
So, I annoyed a wizard the other day. Big mistake. He turned my wife into a breakfast! I still love her though, she's my Honey, Butter Toast.
Honey, but a toast, Honey Butter Toast, get it? It's very funny.
Please do a series on Fermentation and foraging for ingredients. I really want to learn to make kombucha and other things, and yes, i could look it up. But i'd rather learn from Ben and Kush and the guys
Can't wait for someone to try the flying noodles during a pass it on...
Corn milk is my favorite. I always have it for breakfast whenever I got my hands on that fresh sweet corn. Blend it together with some papaya 🥰
Sounds great!
4:27 I didn’t know there was such a thing as too much cheese😂. But then again he is known for not being a big enjoyer of the cheese.
I love pan fried noodle dishes. They've been around a long time. The flying chopsticks definitely sound like a gimmick to draw attention on social media.
Oh, I think that honey butter should have been with brown sugar … and maybe cinnamon ….
Cinnamon would work really nicely!!
My family makes a version it with granulated sugar, cinnamon and of course the butter.
I have mixed feelings regarding the new studio and the live audience. Iloved the old studio. It felt more intimate. The guys seemed more at ease and not so scripted. The new space lacks warmth and charm. I do love you all ❤
Yes! It looks so cold with all the blue lights, and the food looks less appetizing. Also Jamie's camera looks low quality
Thats just wrong. Nothing about it sounds "scripted". Its exactly like before just with VIEWERS having genuine fun in the background. The viewers are part of what got them to where they are. And that is NOT only the ones in front of the screens at home. Its the live audience as well. Having a live audience is a great way to give back. Remember that Sorted has genuinely changed lives.
Suggestion to try for Flying Noodles:
Pot of Hot oil on the side and a mildly warmed pan to hold the noodles in as you ladle the oil over all of it. Should keep the bottom bottles from getting as burned.
Would be even better with an infused flavored oil!
Mike, there is no such thing as 'too much cheese'. Those three words never go together!
This is interesting to me because in America it was presented to us as an onion boil because it used all the spices that went into a crab or crawfish boil. There wasn't any cheese at all.
My Nan would give us baked onion with butter and pepper to cure a cold when I was a kid
Hey who would ever have thought that honey and butter are so great together! Thank god for tiktok
Mike, we appreciate the powermove at the end there. Great entertainment
7:54 record scratching is always funny and that fail was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
For years I've done a version of those onions by dropping in a beef bullion cube and covering to the top of the hole with a pad or two of butter and a little grated gruyere. I usually bake with the foil only coming up half way This is great on it's own, very reminiscent of French onion soup, but can also be used as a starting point.
As someone allergic to onion 😭😭😭😭 The first one looks really good. My spouse would demolish that so quick.
Yay - It is Sunday - Another Sorted video to watch!
No way onion is the star of the dish there lol, it's the pound of cheese and butter. Basically made a delicious, spiced fat water balloon 🤣👍
man, I've only seen flying noodles as a weird little theme park animatronic
Malaysian flying noodles! Brilliant to see it being featured, one of my absolute favourite!
Not surprised that honey toast was success. Brioche bread has butter in it and honey and butter are good combination
it sort of resembles french toast
The stuffed onion reminded me of my mother's stuffed green peppers, or even her stuffed mushrooms. I loved, loved, loved the flying chopstick gimmick. I can see a restaurant doing this here and that in itself would draw people to it. Not a fan of coffee, so the corn infused coffee would be a "no" for me. I do think the honey buttered toast would work like the flying chopsticks in bringing people into a restaurant. It might be too sweet for my taste though. In all four of these dishes, you would not want to do them very often with the levels of dairy and oils being added to your arteries.
Sweet corn milk ICE CREAM! Doitdoitdoit pleeeeeeeez.
That honey on toast could use some custard 😜
Who would have thought cheese and onion would go together?
I mean… now you mention it… 👀😂
Certainly not anyone in the world, ever in history! Thank god for TikTok lol
Heavens,! Different countries, different cultures, different cuisines. I'm ancient and can't remember a time when cheese and onion weren't a thing. Just lucky I guess😏
After Mike's forced laugh at Jamie's tiktok joke, I knew there was something off about this video. Only had to wait until 3:02 for confirmation of the reason.
Same honestly.
I initially thought it was just a crew and staff laugh? It didn’t feel like full on audience laugh initially, but yep, later it did. If crew and the other staff are there laughing I don’t have an issue with that at all. That’s just a great work environment…
@@Shelsight I agree. When it's the crew laughing, it feels organic, and after something that feels like it's earnt that reaction naturally. When there's a proper audience, everything feels forced. The boys act up to them too much.
I do miss the cooking battles showing off tips and skills for cooking. I regularly reference older videos, such as the roast battle with James. It seems those videos are a thing of the past 😢
The last two were very much like that, with 3 of them cooking, then 2, but gaining tips and hints grim the chefs. I agree I prefer the learning & technique videos, but as long as they do more of those and keep their natural banter going, I don’t mind the odd TikTok trend and chaotic tinned slop student videos. I think they’re definitely getting that more adult ‘be the best home cook you can be with top cheffy tips’ content back. And I’m really enjoying it again.
The first item took me back to the time you made Kebab with Lavash Bread. All the tomatoes and stuff roasting with the meat.
P.S. OBVIOUSLY BARRY CHOSE SAFFRON
P.P.S. It’s actually (raises glasses) Gochu-garu.
As well as baking onions, look up Roscoff onion dishes. Some are filled & baked, overs braised down 'till soft & sticky. Very tasty.
"That's a load-bearing shrimp!"
I would try the sweet corn coffee and the crispy noodle/floating chop sticks.
Cheese and onion crisps
Love you guys! ❤
