    Onsen tamago (literally hot spring egg) is named such because they make them by dropping whole eggs in the many natural hot springs around Japan. They're basically treats that you eat after a soak.

  • @abbym9954
    @abbym9954 Рік тому +16

    When making a stock and trying to extract all the best flavors from it, the traditional Eastern way is to have just the bones in the pot for hours to extract the flavor before adding the aromatics. What Uncle Roger seems to forget here, though, is that Esther isn't starting with raw chicken and fresh bones. She's using a chicken that's already been slow cooked to the point that it's falling apart and the wings and drumsticks are dried out. These aren't bones that it will take hours to cook and start giving up their flavors. They're already past that point. IMO, that means there's no harm in throwing the aromatics in with the carcass now.

  • @blisswang957
    @blisswang957 Рік тому +21

    actually i know why Esther put in the aromatics in the stock early. Cuz it actually stinks up when you don't put in the aromatics in the beginning. The stock actually does not smell appetizing without the aromatics. because i did the same to the bones of a costco chicken and when i boiled it for about 2 hrs, it smelled like a something was decomposing in the pot. only after i put in the aromatics, i had to put in some cooking wine as well, for about anther hour did it start to smell wonderful.

  • @cockbeard
    @cockbeard Рік тому +7

    I think Roger's argument about too soon for aromatics was simply that maybe he expected a second broth. No point wasting aromats in something that will be thrown out before getting a proper clear broth from the cleaner bones

    I have a whole case of Indo-Mi, probably 2 in my pantry. Every few months, my wife and I go to LA from Arizona to Mendang Kitchen to get Indonesian ingredients. She will horde $600 in Indonesian food every time. She's gotta have the right ingredients for the food.
    TBH, Maruchan is good for stuff like mi goreng, because you add other ingredients later. By no means is it good enough for Ramen. Its pretty much just egg noodles with bouillon. I never knew it could be so good before my wife got some packs and made a delicious, complex mi goreng with it. Now, she just buys Indo-Mi.

    Shin Ramen is great, but Indomie deserves a shoutout as "Way better than Manchurian Ramen, but only slightly more expensive" for all broke people. (Order online if you are broke, much cheaper than at the supermarket)
    You CAN add your aromatics early. But if you are making OG pho or ramen that's going to be cooking for a lot longer than western broth. I made this mistake growing up with sesame oil. If you add it near the end, you need less of it because the flavor cooks off (probably made my parents mad wasting sesame oil)

    I think Uncle Roger is pretty rude to this guy. a professional chef is in a much better position than a home cook. if the home cook really doesn't know before the show starts, then that's not entirely fair. the chef has much more experience with ingredients. perhaps it would be better to show the ingredients to the home cook in advance. I think it's a strange idea for a show. home cooks are always at a disadvantage. What's the point of calling for help when you can just prepare ahead of time?

    Can you stop reacting to Uncle Roger? I love you and your content but I absolutely cannot stand that guy

    When will you react to “the greatest vegetarian sandwich” by not another cooking show?
