"chopsticks can't beat flour"
My Asian dad from the living room yelled "it beat my children just fine"
Cheesy Ninja lol
Cheesy Ninja omg i can imagine that lmao
😂😂 your dad is awesome!
😂
Lmao
As an asian, i need to tell you that every time i cook with measurement it fails, therefore i cook with the power of estimation
Same here
So true, some times following the recipe to a tee doesn't match your pallette
that's how my parents do it! Btw I'm chinese along with my entire fam :D
farrel purwoko yep so true
Yes
Asians so good at math they can measure without utensils
Toni meow 😂
Toni meow ASIAN POWARRRRRRRRRR
Toni meow
You was right.
Toni meow XD
Actually our cooking depends a lot on experiences. You have to do a dish a couple of times to have a hold at it. When I learnt cooking something from my mom, she did tell me how much to put in, but only for reference. For example, for seasoning, I taste the food as I go, and based on experience I know what lacks to adjust, so I don't go strictly to recipe. Or for making soups or sauces or cooking meat and veggies, I know when they're done by checking the texture or consistency, not by counting time. My mom is even more superb, she checks temperature of oil by hovering her hand over the pan and by some miracle she knows when it is hot enough! I'm trying to be able to do that too :3
It's kind of hard to explain but practice makes perfect xD
Westerners: Ugh, rice is SO complicated to cook!
Rice Cooker: *Am I a damn joke to you*
It is bc the instrutions are in Kangis .
Rice is the first thing i knew to cook since the first moment i knew to cook.. 😅
"bUt RiCe CoOkErS aRe So ExPeNsIvE"
Me: *Laughs in $9 rice cooker*
@@joshualim1339 Where did you buy It?
I just use an Instant Pot... It's this amazing multi-purpose appliance with a rice setting, among many others.
"a level teaspoon of sugar" ~rakes excess into pot~
Lmao.
+Elizabeth Morrison haha
ikr!hahahaha
Lol X-actly
+Elizabeth Morrison the scene that cracks me up the most was when Mike just dumps the spoons back into the salad he was tossing, snorts (was it?) & said, "Come on, Chinese people don't eat salad," & walks away
I'm only exact when baking.
FRIEND: These spring rolls are good. Can I have the recipe?
ME: Well, you put some ground pork into a large mixing bowl. Then you cut up some cabbage really thin. Grate some carrot. Cut up an onion into thin slivers. Throw all of that in with the meat. You can put other stuff too like bamboo shoots or mushrooms or whatever. Then you add some salt, black pepper, oyster sauce, and a little bit of fish sauce.
FRIEND: Uhhh how much of each should I use?
ME: IDK, I just add stuff until I feel like stopping.
Yeah well you need to be exact when baking, it's a chemistry.
saaame when I make my special sauce for my signature lobster rolls. I even forget what I put in it so I get all kinds of diff flavors each time 😡
You kind of have to be exact with baking. Unless you want to totally botched the whole batch
K Melissa Obviously, which is why I and others said we're exact when baking :P
Pooh Bear K good just thought you thought it wasnt a chemisty
As you can see, we asian only use one kind of math, estimation and probability
agreed
that's 2
+Feeling
That's more like science but ok
True
My parents have like 40 different utensils but *Never use them*
DailyArmyTea same except they get the exact same utensils but look different we have three of the same measurement cups
Same! They only use like 3 of them. A large spoon, spatula, and this other thing I forgot the name of. ;-;
Same
SAME BRO!! It's painful...
Army
“A level teaspoon of sugar”
*pushes the excess into the pot*
eh not like they were actually cooking amything
xDD
pink Fungi So they wasted food for this video? Damn it, they could’ve made something good for them to eat.
Well, a little bit extra is fine
I was looking for this comment.
Anyone else follow a recipe the first couple times you make something, then once you're used to it just start throwing things in?
u got my word man. i do this and funny thing is it tastes better than actually not following the measures for the food but i always follow measurement for desserts haha
i do, I have even started with a recipe and then come up with something completely different, due to improvises and other changes i felt like doing
Me at the start: Am gonna make curry.
In the middle: It tasted like soup. I think soup is fine then.
At the end: What a delicious caramel..!!
***** based on true story. i do feel like a wizard cuz i throw in whatever i found in the kitchen.. XD
me!
As an a person from Asia, we use the power of estimation
Just saying, a lot of people around the world estimate as well. Most people take a pinch of salt, or a squirt of vegetable oil, or just scoop whatever amount of something they want depending on how they feel.
But if you want to be precise and professional, you should measure, especially for something like baking.
Yes we do
And eye power
True or just muscle memory
Haha we use our math skills.
Imagine if they swapped
Western: So put 1/2 cup in
Asian: Like my grandma’s 1/2 cup or my uncle’s 1/2 cup
Western: ....what.
Asian: Add some salt
Western: How much
Asian: some
Western: Like a pinch?
Asian: Just look to the stars, embrace it, and follow your heart
Western: ....so like a pinch?
Asian: some
Lol a pinch
2:33 "A *level* teaspoon of sugar..." Proceeds to level out the teaspoon while the excess sugar still goes into the pan...
Andreiwin thats the asian style 😂😂😂
"I love when I follow the recipe perfectly!"
i assumed that he swept it outside of the pan. i cant really tell without seeing more of the outer edge of the pan.
We westerners ignorantly sabotage our recipes quite frequently, but usually not in this exact manner.
He also lack pepper in peppermill. Just fine observation.
did he just spill the leftover sugar into the pot and then put the exact sugar in
yup.
yea i tought im the only one who noticed it.
i know right
Bryan Chen
Saraya V Yes he did. 😂
duh... Asians don't eat salad, we regularly eat vegetables
We eat vegetables?
@@mr.creeper2505 beans and bean sprouts are vegetables, right?
Salad is made with vegtables.
then why do hibachi places serve salad
Without mixing them... i never did like salad
He didn’t wash the rice....
He. Didn't. Wash. The. Rice. He not real Asian.
*UNCLE ROGER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*
wtf washes rice... its already water polished.
@@allandulles7108 Bruh....The rice has been polished but it doesn’t mean it’s clean.
Indeed
“A level teaspoon of sugar.”
*proceeds to swipe the rest into the mix*
I know right it was kinda weird.
I thought i only noticed that XD
christina wechkin 😂
Otaku4life Otaku_Girl same
smol cody me 😂😂
People who are into cooking don’t use measures. Baking is different, it’s more like science, you mess up in one ingredient and the whole thing is ruined.
So true
I agree with you.
Definitely. The only time I’ve found there’s a bit of wiggle room is flavorings, and even then, putting a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon of vanilla can wreck a dish(I’m sad to say I’m speaking from experience. Eyeballing vanilla gets dangerous people.)
that was me
Nag you can still save it for adding a little bit of taste
Are you interested in Chinese food ？I have some Chinese home cuisine videos. Looking forward to watching the videos.
As an Asian, this is literally how it is in our kitchen every day
Butterfly Taster yeah so true tho we don't really care and tend to use whatever we have
Butterfly Taster yup pretty much
@@UwU-lm9or ikr lol
@@farawellc8400 yeah and you must have a rice cooker the brand must be tiger 😂😂😂
Yeah.
It's so true in South Asia as well...I feel like estimation is a power of Asian moms..also hitting moving targets with flying sandals. And also what is dessert and salad, have a fruit.
Liza Banik haha true😂
That sound like latin americans, especially the sandals part 😂
Lol true I am south Asian and my family and me live in Europe but my mom still does that.
True, I once asked my mom to make me and my family a salad and she said "what?? Salad?? You don't need salad, eat a fruit"
So true
When you relate more to the Asian side but then realise that's because you are Asian.
KillerGamerGirl same lol
KillerGamerGirl you're right
True true
When you relate more to the Western side but then realize that even though you are Asian
When all the likes on the comment above are all asians XD
2:34..... “a level teaspoon of sugar” (gets finger levels sugar leveled sugar goes into the pot) boi.....
boi....
@@tktvr9703 boi...

how my grandma cooks: puts random stuff and still taste goo af
Zijin Qin mine too lol

Ayeeeee
Jimin Is my oppa ~ Hey fellow ARMY ;3
*"C'mon, Chinese people don't eat salad!"*
Me: True..
Asian salad: dip raw vegetable into vinegar or soy sauce, then consume... ( Sometimes we blanch them too...)
There's vegetables in the stir fry we're good ^-^
personally, salad is disgusting, like seasoned and cooked vegetables is so much better!
Definitly
Because some raw veggies are not good for digestion.
"A perfectly level teaspoon of sugar" *dumps excess sugar in the pan*
XD
#logic
You beat me to it.... Damnit
lmao
Shiver smae
"pssh all of these western spices and herbs are so complicated. All I need is soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and rice wine." My mom
Derpster Productions TCG *ahem* fish sauce
@@jennatieu5978 Garlic:But what about Me?
Derpster Productions TCG salt is all you need
You forgot the main ingredient MSG
Omg I just realized that’s basically all we use.
Q: why Asian people don't measure ingredients?
A: the perfect measuring tools are your eyes.....
Piss off. That was funny two decades ago.
Edward Liu it is not a joke.... my mom does the eye-measuring and intuitive seasoning all the time.... and still producing flawless results everytime
+Ninja Toe Forgive me, I read your comment wrong.
Edward Liu wow... your apology make me sound like some kind of Royalty or stuff.... XDDD anyway, I just cleared the misunderstanding :D
yeeea,just eyeball the ingredients.;;;
When asking my mom how to cook traditional Chinese recipes:
Me: How much of [ingredient]?
Mom: Just a little bit/ Just a pinch/ Just guess
Anxiety fill me every time
That's me !!😆
Same for my abuela from Puerto Rico... I think it really depends on if you learned from your grandparents/family or food network/PBS
My mom does the same thing. Her recipes have ingredients listed with no amount and very short directions.
omg same same! my mum said exactly just like your mum.
My dad is in immigrant from Thailand and Ive never once seen him use a measurement cup or spoons or anything
its easy to memorize the amounts required,
*THAILAND IS MY CITY*
We don't measure. When we feel it should be enough, we add one more handful to make it intense.
CoconutMan oh yea thai people
Grant Hooch my mom is from Thailand as well haha I've never measured the rice I'm cooking a day in my life 😄
DID HE LEVEL THE SUGAR INTO THE POT!!!😂😂😂
I was looking for that comment :P
ha ha ha Yeah
I was gonna say that too 😹😹
i seriously thought i was the only one who noticed that xD
he did
That's literally the Arab style too!
"Mama, how do I know much to put in?"
Throws in a random handful of rice.
"It just feels right, use feeling."
damn right 😂
Is it the same when you make homemade explosives?
@@TheUntrainedNinja get educated. @Raine Riny thank you.
DeathRow Aye, and you better watch out ;)
Arabs are asian..
Finally i find ppl who put their stuff in the oven :")
I keep my pans in my oven.
what's the point of buying an entire giant oven when you can get the counter sized one? Can even keep oranges and apples in there
My Neighbor do it back then
Ha ha ha me too.
@@aquareon2347 we normally buy it for the stoves lol cuz alot of induction stoves take up alottt of current so we tryin to save our money here.and sometimes it comes along with houses soo
The only thing you need exact measurements for is baking. Everything else you can wing it.
EXACTLY!!
I kept on scrolling down just to look for this comment haha
Yep, the margin of error is pretty small for baking.
You're dp is an L
Ikr
Lisa Shelton YES
“A level teaspoon of sugar”
(levels it over the pot causing it to fall into the pot anyway
“I love it when I follow the recipe perfectly”
Me:COUGH💦 COUGH💦 YA DIDNT
IKR I was about to comment that LOL
I paused to look for this comment. xD
I was just about to comment about that
@@opsatr same... XD
It bugs my dad when I don’t level the stuff over the bowl. He’s like, “It’s fine” and I’m like,” NOOOOOO”
every time i eat salad, my parents yell at me
+Beverlyyy_ lol why you eating uncooked veggies?
+Double Chen my parents asked if I was a cow in my past life and I'm eating 'grass'.
+J&S Habgood What a stupid thing to say, incredible. I trust you will kick your parents in the shin for that :)
+Raoul Buurke Me and my mum are not in a good relationship after I married a white boy. And she constantly tells me that one day an animal is going to eat my vegetarian husband (if you don't eat them, they'll eat you) lol. I think they need to get out of their little Asian bubble and see the world.
I agree with all of the above. My parents called me a goat every time I ate salad (even though I eat plenty of food from other cultures), and got mad at me for dating anyone that's not Chinese...
My asian life
Me long ago: * panicking because i dont know the measurements of cooking*
Me now: * panicking because i ran out of fish/soy sauce*
Me: panicking because i poured too much rice into the cooker
omg the MSG part had me in tears lmfaoo
ikr?
pinch ... pinch ... hmmmm.... bigger pinch .... ah just toss all of it in!
it's funny because it's true lol
Literally my mum XD
same lmao
Yeah I caught mine putting lots of it in our food, gonna kill us?
“How much water does this need?”
Western: 2 cups
Asian: yes
some
My grandma was Hungarian and she just added what she felt. She would taste it and be like "not enough paprika" *adds more
Grandma knows best :)
Magyarok mindenhol❤❤
@d a n i • Umm... Maybe she died?
@d a n i • she's probably not alive anymore...
@d a n i • 🤦🤦
when you hear your ancestors telling you "it's enough my child", that's when you will stop pouring or adding ingredients.
Flavour enhancement~
Western-
"5g of Thyme, Basil and a single Bay leaf"
Asian-
"The key to flavour enhancement is... mono sodium glutamate" -adds a pinch- -pours the whole cup in-
WHY IS THIS SO TRUE OMG xD
Western at 2:38: "A tablespoon of sugar~" *adds sugar* *puts the excess at the pot* "there!" *adds the tablespoon to the pot* 😂😂
ProfileGamer201
Djdloskka
iJx_sh As a hongkonger msg is only used in some restaurants, families never use msg in home cooking.
The Lifehacker ... Have you MET my dad? He adds MSG to almost every savory food he cooks. Meaning MSG is very common in his home cooking.
Jvoji what is msg?
Then there is the American way of cooking..."*orders junk food like a boss*"
Its kinda sad that you a girl have to order junk food....When you have a brand new kitchen begging for your attention! *cracks whip*
Jokes aside learn to cook or no guy will honestly marry you and by guy i mean normal guys who you can have a stable family with.
+Tojetaj Nikolic I was joking because America is known for obesity.... I'm Asian lol. My parents are Indian and my grandfather was born in China.. .
I learned cooking ay the age of 12 and all I eat is Asian food everyday 😂😂😂
+Tojetaj Nikolic you're 5 years too late to tell me to learn me to cook lmao ✌😆
Nya Its my mistake then, i am a Serb so i am quite traditional when it comes to those household stuff's.
And i was tought from birth that there are "Man" jobs and "Women" jobs around the house.
Ps: My grandmother forbids me to make my bed, wash dishes, fold clothes and other "Womenly" jobs :D
But then again i cant complain when you need a few metres of wood choped with a axe of course.
+Tojetaj Nikolic LOL I believe every man should be able to chop wood and cook up some food. So should every woman. Chores need to be shared equally. Women aren't born to be housekeepers.
"come on. Chinese people don't eat salad!" *walks away*
+zhi chian I'm Chinese but I was raised white. So me and my dad eat salad a lot but when I go to my cousins (Chinese) we have never had salad
yes we do. not western salad, but there's plenty of uncooked vegetable dishes in China. Spicy cucumber salad in vinegar and chili oil is one of them.
really? I did not know this. I've never had any of them
Hey I eat salad... from a Salad Restaurant..... because my home made salad is lackluster with minimal ingredients for one meal. If I try to go fancy the rest of the extra ingredients spoil as I don't eat another salad for at least 6 months...
+Angela Zhi Chian young Chinese do, but older Asian parents they dont.
I think gordon ramsay is asian
"Just a tea spoon of olive oil"
Pour the whole bottle
Hagumi Kitazawa hahaha
Yeah, LMAO
He does have a lot of Asian-influenced recipes.
NOPE. Watched him cook rice, not Asian at all.
a slice of butter
*cuts in half and put in pan
2:36 are we not gonna talk about how he tried to level the sugar and remove the excess but it fell on the pan anyway. No? Okay.
PandagalTM u just copied from a comment months before you
PandagalTM ikr i was dying😂
So apparently I cook american dishes the Chinese way... I'm okay with that.
I was thinking the SAME THING about my cooking throughout this whole vid! LOL!
+Evi1M4chine Yeah, no, I got that in the subtext of the video.
+Evi1M4chine
Pretentious?! LMAO! How much kitchen utensils, doodads, gizmos, and kitchenware are there in Western households? Please.
Awesome
+TheScotchaholic I use one single japanese vegetable knife for everything i cut (except for bread). I have a food processor (because it is wonderfull if you are a lazy person like me). I allso have a spatula, strainer, whisk, pots, pans, forks and spoons. I like to see my self as a person with a kind of spartan kitchen. The only thing that breaks against that is my food processor, but it makes life so much simpler!! (yOoO)y!!
do western people not... use rice cookers?
ratherunfortunate they think theyre good enough to master the mysterious power of rice god
ratherunfortunate We do, well some do. But instead of having one thing that is used for just cooking rice we rather use a normal pot because it's used for other things as well.
ratherunfortunate Never in my life have I seen a rice cooker... I didn't even know they exist. I cook rice the same as pasta. Until it gets edible.
Rice cookers aren't just for rice. They make great steamers. It also shows your parents that you're not completely white once you've gone off to college. No rice dispenser though... I'm only half
Nah, my mom uses a crockpot
Western cooking: meh
Asian cooking: meh
MOM'S COOKING: YEAAAAH
“Some mushrooms”
*throws in lettuce*
Chan Nguyen I have the same last name!!!
Angel Nguyen it is a common last name, we all have it
Turtle Potato i have tran
MeepGoesRawr yo we the same!
EAT THIS yea!
Oh dear, I'm western, but I cook like Chinese. Throw it all in, cook, then eat. So far no one's complained! I do have good knives though.
That's the Italian way, too. Just however much feels right.
"I cook like Chinese"
My way of cooking is " 1\2 tablespoon of pepper 2 cups should be fine"
Ruth Beaty yea, I'm Hawaiian Japanese- I never knew measuring had anything to do with race.
Ruth Beaty exactly
Chopsticks can beat anything. Yup my mom used to beat me with em
I LIVE TO STAN ,lol..yeah..my mom used a dought stick to beat me..
tiger mother.
ouch-
My mom whoops me with a 2 inch thick wooden cutting board
Jk she woops me with a belt but a leather one no joke
The Asians cook with heart 😂😂
That cooking rice part.. so hillarious 😊😂
I loved the part where he's like "a level teaspoon of sugar" and then brushes the sugar over the level directly into the pot anyway.
Me too
seigeengine ikr, that was oddly satisfying
3 chopsticks together= a whisk
nah, 2 will do
i think 2 is good to mix but 3 just makes life a bit easier lol
until u make it harder with 4
You know what else makes a whisk? A fork, you use what you got.
lmao we aint git no forks (we actually Do, but we have WAY more chopsticks)
as asian myself,. our tongue is our measurements,.
How do you measure stuff with your tongue lmao. In my asian family we t e s t food with our tongue lol
ThatAsianOcelot that's what she means
True
Do you measure ducks with your tounge as well?
Lol I’m asian
Me: Mom, how much salt?
Mom: Just some
Me: uhhh how much is that?
Mom: *takes some salt* there, problem solve. Now mix.
Me: *Gets a whisk*
Mom: Ay nooo. Use chopsticks!
My Asian mom tried to teach me cooking.
I kept asking her, How much? How much? What amount!?
She’s like! You decide!
I was like, You are teaching! I never cooked before! You tell me!
She goes, Estimation! Ugh!
I go, TELL me YOUR Estimation! I don’t have estimation! What’s YOUR estimation!? You are the teacher!
Her, Ugh! Whatever! Use your common sense!
Me, I never cooked before! Why can’t you just Tell me?!
Her, Just however much!
Then I do it…
Mom: that’s too much!!!!!
😂😂😂
You said precise amount of sugar and wiped the excess into the bowl 😂
Karan Chawla was about to say tht
Karan Chawla i was looking for this comment xD
“Have you met a chopstick” 😂 I am dying
"Chopsticks beat anything!" 😂😂😂
same
now mix the two cooking styles and you'll have middle class american cooking
Middle class american cooking: First you measure everything, then taste it to find out you got all the measurements wrong, eventually you start throwing stuff together and it turns out okay but not great.
GOEDON RAMSAY
my mum teaching me how to cook stir-fried pork
me: “mum, how much salt do I put in.”
mum: ”put ur finger in the container, pinch and throw the salt into the wok. if it’s not enough, put till u think it enoug- get that spoon away from the salt! what do you think you’re doing?! is this how I’ve raised you?”
true. my mum use her finger for salt estimation.
i cant follow her skills.
I love how you leveled off your teaspoon of sugar into the bowl and then put the rest into the bowl.
Jackie89000 I loved the part when he just dumped the whole bawl of msg
Btw trust me u don't want a lot of msg in your food
4royal Squad yeah too Unhealthy and Salty Im asian but we measure Msgs and Rice all the time
@4royal Squad Bawl… 😂
XD
Jackie89000, Ikr! I was like "WHAT IS THE POINT!!!"
Him: A level teaspoon of sugar *removes excess sugar then puts it in the pot*
Me: But...you just...*facepalm*
LEL I saw that too, I guess maybe Asians are known for being smarter xD
😂😂😂 ikr
I saw that too, I had to watch it again to double check. It made me smile. I'm sure the food was just fine.
Hannah xoxox IKR AHAHAH
xDD
Who else died when he said the secret ingrediant is msg XD
Matthew Cao the thing is i dont think asians know what msg is
Jason Zheng true my friend. As an Asian I don't know what msg is until I learn the term in my chemistry class because my family don't use it, at all
Jason Zheng point proven. What is it?
Honestly all ik is that msg makes stuff taste better
MSG is basically salt.
Now imagine when my mom and big sister cooks.... My mom cooks like a western and my sister cooks like an Asian 😅😅 literal chaos
Lmao my dad cooks more like a western while my mom cooks a lot more Asian. 😂😂
It should be called: "How normal people cook vs. how I cook in college."
GravityCoil ,nah..dude..its asian style..and its quick..
lol... I've never been to college, but apparently I'm still in college. =)
GravityCoil
nope normal people in china cook that way too
I read the recipe I just don't follow it until something goes wrong.
lol same
same. haha
Ahahah same. mine is a total mix of both these styles
*This is the secret ingredient to make your Chinese dish even more flavourful, MSG*
It's 100% true XD
(speaking from a lot of personal experience)
Huy Le You forgot "even"
Msg isn't even as bad for you as they say.. Moderation is key.
So not true. Even dried chili would be more common.
too honest lmao
As an Asian, we have special trained eyes from watching our mom cook to estimate approximately the right amount of anything.
The funny thing is that whenever I measure the rice and the water, it never came out right. So I gave up and just use my instinct and guess what? My cooked rice came out perfectly every time😂
Hui Yi Chow SAME lol
Hui Yi Chow experience！
Hui Yi Chow Oh wait nevermind. I guess you're not Asian so you don't use Rice Cookers. Oh ok.
Neon Green I am Asian if you can't tell already by my name and for your information I also have rice cooker. But you still have to make sure you don't put too much or too little water.
Hui Yi Chow Kk. Because even if I put too much water, it still is good for me. And for your username, I thought you were just another Asian fan. Maybe it's because we use different type of rice?
My family is Mexican and when my mom was teaching me how to cook, she told me to just add whatever ingredient until it looks good. "Mexicans don't really follow recepies with food." she told me.
It works tho. Like the food she makes is good.
That's how I was taught to cook and I doubt I'll ever stop cooking like that. I'm Mexican too.
I'm Mexican to. (soy del Rancho) and when we cook, it doesn't really matter the amount as long as it tastes good and the tortillas aren't burnt.
😋✌yap that's how i learn how to cook i just saw her and boom food is good lol i didn't really follow the rules haha
Im Hispanic and that is the way my mother taught me XD
I'm French and I don't follow the recipe AT ALL and it always tastes good (but quite strange sometimes though)
Chopsticks can beat stuff
Me: proceeds to beat people with chopsticks
my mom when cooking
mom :" Chen buy me salt n oil, NOW!"
(while she threatening me with her spatula )
:")
My whole family cooks asian style.
Who needs recipes?
***** I smiled at your profile pic xD
I need a recipe cause with out it I'm just lost my mom doesn't need a recipe though
I will take one dog please
David Bruder Take away?
Klaris Davis me
I cook like a Sicilian, If I ever followed a recipe my ancestors would rise and create a zombie apocalypse just to kick me out of the kitchen.
Old school cooking is always the best, the only Recipe you need is a spoon to taste what you're cooking.
The hard life of an Italian 😂I understand you
Thats what we do in Serbia, there is no mesurments, you just cook to your taste and use spoon to taste. Best way ever!
And even if follow the recipe it turns out disqusting so why not just improvise to make it taste good?
Well That's What we Do In Albania Just Mix Up All the things in kitchen and shut up and eat!
TnT FoX i see the recommended amount start a fire burn it and just grab a few things and made it like it sounds
TnT FoX EXAAAAAAAACTLY
Trusty wooden spoon
as a westerner i permanently cook more like a Chinese than a westerner. that is acording to this vid of course.
MBoeltje41 as an Asian person I cook more like a Western person, based on this video.
MBoeltje41 it really depends on how you learned to cook, as an Italian family I learn from family so you cool more of "the Chinese way" while if you learned while older and from people outside of family you cook more formally
MBoeltje41 but your a lonely 17 year old in a dorm room eating of of cup noodles from that Chinese noodle takeout place down the road and ramen that you microwave. I'm surprised that you can even cook
་ RageTV ་ I'm not any of what you said but I cook like a Chinese person. I don't even have ancestors from China that I am aware of. But I do practice kitchen alchemy.... where you throw things in and hope for the best. lol
Recipes are guidelines... measurements are done by eye not by tools.
XD
Only amateur cooks use tools and recipes to the letter.
"Have you met a chopstick?!" 😂
We, Asians, use our feelings whenever we cook... We don't need recipe😂
Ririen Ingrid ,yeah..
Ririen Ingrid so true
True we don't need no recipes
Z B wait what?!?No!I would NEVER eats dogs
Z B why the heck would I eat my beautiful pitbull?
That asian rice measurement is so true 😂😂😂😂
so true😂😂
That's so true!!😂😂
not to much cause we are asian and we have measurement in cooking rice
Yup, that's how my grandma thought me.
true..XD
They didn’t wash the rice smh
Ikr
Need to wash the starches off before cooking
i think its prewashed. some store bought rice comes with a nonstarch one.
I'm a white, midwestern American and I did a *facepalm* at this too lol
Depends on the rice. I get enriched rice, which isn't supposed to be rinsed. If you rinse enriched rice, you wash off the nutrients added during the processing.
When the Western cook like "perfectionist" while we Asian be like:
"Bahala na basta makakain ako!" :)
😂
Hahahaha
"Edi wow, basta masarap!"
How to make a good Asian meal- buy every ingredient at its cheapest price then throw it all in.

PinkiSparks MSP yup! that's what I do!
xFqkerZ GT way to not take a joke
Chinese people don't eat salad? That's it, I'm moving to China.
nothing raw so yeah, no salad.
Dragunluvur not salad. But, there are vegetables...
We do love everything cooked! So welcome! Salad-free!
Dragunluvur we eat 99% rice 1% soya
Dragunluvur lol actually, for heath, we do.
Western:I got my fork, knife, spoon...
Asian:got my chopstick
The Great Harry Potter basically chopstick and spoon
See that's why Chinese can be fleeing disasters and still eat in style. When you are running away, what do you bring? 6 kitchen knives and 4 utensils to eat the stuff with, or 2 wooden sticks and one cleaver?
We indians are good to go with hands..
what if you have to work? Eating dirt along with meal?
despairedboy we r not that dump to eat our food with dirt we'll wash our hands n thn oly v eat....
Asian cooking so true...so me😂 but not MSG
MSG are the real Secret Ingredient ngl
Msg is everything
I'm Chinese and this is accurate af
Vote BTS MAMA 2016 😂 BTS won!!!
Hahaha my name XDXD
Hello fellow Chinese ARMY!!
YEUP
seriously? when was the last time you cooked with chopsticks?
Asia: When in doubt, use more chopsticks.
When in doubt use fish sauce
when in doubt,add hot oil.
When in doubt, get tiger balm.
+TheAngelsDevil5 when in doubt, become a ladyboy.
Amir Rahman we're talking about Asia, not the west : ^ )
Yes the finger trick for making rice!
and it cooks perfectly everytime... as long as you don't leave it to cook by itself...
I’m Aussie and I do it too
@ Sofia - you need to place your hand unto the uncooked rice with water until you feel the rice at the tip of your middle finger. similar to what you see in the video. the level of the water should be up to the 2/3 of the middle finger intermediate phalanges form the tip. when it boils, keep heat low until rice is done. if your lid has a hole, yes you may cover it. if not, then keep the lid slightly open. :) (Y)
I also do same finger measurement trick!
Sofia Symkanych I don't know about others but, I measure the depth of the rice from the bottom of the pot, and compare it to the depth of water fron the top of the rice layer. The water shoulder be at least the same finger length as the rice. But I usually add a tad bit more water :D
Well, this is pretty much accurate in my experience. I'm Indian and I have never used a spoon or measuring cup to measure out ingredients in my life. Cooking, as my mom taught me, is mostly about eyeballing things and tasting as you go. Also, what is up with having dozens of tiny bowls out for the ingredients? Too much washing up.
Am I the only one whose family tries to reduce the amount of used cutlery when cooking?
Apple Maple I try but my mom cooks until I graduate so...
I am also in charge of washing the dishes and I want to kill myself every time I see like 5 pans and 500 silverware/items/cutlery in the sink waiting for me to wash. Why cant she wash them when shes done ugh
Yeah same here
Apple Maple she just uses long chopsticks now
Apple Maple you are not the only one
Apple Maple im the only one in my family who does that. They're a bunch of assholes for that lol
2:32 you just sweeped the excess sugar into the bowl anyway 🤣😂
His Asian-ness got the best of him despite all his efforts trying to cook like a Westerner.😁😄😃
@Abdul Razaque Shah lol his pp is even jungkook she/he is obviously an army lol.
@@foreveryoungblink8545 I know what you're trying to do there lololol
Thats exactly what I was thinking 😂😂
Yes i knew i wasnt the only person to notice
so that's why my western dishes never work out, i've been cooking them chinese style all the time
"This is the secret to making your Asian dish more flavorful......msg."
More like "Actual Chinese Cooking Vs. Western Cooking Show"
you got it wrong :P he meant that the chinese cooking seems to be realistic, while the western style seems to be highly exagerated, as if from a tv show :P
Yes, that's not how most westernerners cook at home - not the ones who know how to anyhow. My grandmother (Finnish) only maybe measured things for baking, and she was a great cook. Only some things here are true: Western cooking uses more pans, though there are quite a few one-pot recipes, and yes, we do use the oven occasionally. On the other hand, we had great fun fighting and cooking with my Indian friend: She: the recipe says 25 grams of coriander! Noooo! Me: Just threw a double handful in the pot.
It's just two styles of cooking.
+TulilaSalome I can see why your indian friend would freak at that. Some of their spices are like 10 grams = a nice heat, 12 grams = cut your tongue out to stop the pain.
I'm a white guy that specializes in asian cooking and this whole thing was very true and funny. Although the better and more experienced you are with cooking in general the less you measure. I can tell how much liquid ingredient i put in something just by how long I'm pouring it. And its like milliseconds. and any recipe that calls for less than a teaspoon of something is a joke and might as well leave that out.
bkLEGION3000 Not coriander though.
literally other Asian races do that too
My household is just like
When I asked: How much of each?
My family: Just put it when you think it looks okay or when you feel like stopping
Me: *Whispers silently* Well I won't be a cook soon!
Siddhayak Goyal lol well I'm from a 5th generation of chief's and that seems to work for us so... to each his own
SlenpaiwasHere Sure Haha😂
and then they complain " eeya why is this so salty "
Siddhayak Goyal OMF LITERALLY HOW MY FAM DOES IT TOO
THIS IS MY FAMILY 100%
Does this mean I'm officially Chinese?
Otto Green nope, you need to speak Chinese and kill 100 fruit flies with chopsticks while balancing on a table.
Mystic Silver First attempt failed, just ended up breaking chopsticks.
Otto Green what do you mean they broke?
Mystic Silver Fell off the table, chopsticks didn't come out of the fall intact.
Otto Green Use steel chopsticks next time, more durable during such accidents.
"How many utensils do you need?"
"No."
2:31 did anyone else notice how he literally leveled the sugar into the bowl😂
I wouldn't have neither would you without that last comment about this
Yep.
Me 😂
Yup
Mint Eaglella lol i did
I hate when I'm doing the Asian way of cooking, get it just right, and don't know what I did right. Feels terrible ;-;
lol same! But I just adjust it to how I like the taste. If it tastes like before then I did it right
my mom cook the hinese way. XD no wonder everytime her cooking taste different
As Mexican i can say, our cooking style is like the Chinese, just eyeball it, taste it and it's done...lol...
True lol
This is so true
That's basicaly how most latinos/as cook. By the way am dominican.
lilxicanita And we store all of our pots in the oven. Not to mention we also have a permanent spot on the stove for the comal.
lilxicanita as a Mexican I agree
I am surprised on how this is sooo accurate! From the rice measurements using fingers to the oven using then to the dessert! Like legit it is so accurate 😂
