    Husbando whispering gently to you about the rice and chopsticks while you're in the kitchen is so sweet!

    For tamogoyaki with extra bits like ham and cheese, I use two separate egg mixtures. One with all the bits and one just egg. Cook the mixed version first since that takes longer, then add the plain egg for the outer layer. That holds it all together.

    You may want to consider purchasing a splatter shield for frying. It's a flat lid made from wire mesh that you place on top of your frying pan while cooking. It catches the splatters while still allowing steam to escape.

    • @songindarkness

      I second this, mine is brilliant I use it all the time! It’s not 100% perfect I find but much better than nothing.

      @mustwereallydothis Рік тому +2

      @@songindarkness mine went missing in our last move and I keep forgetting to buy a new one. I sure do miss it when I need it though. It's so much easier to put that in the dishwasher than to clean splattered grease off the entire stove, walls, undersides of cupboards, fumehood and floor. Not to mention my clothes and all those tiny burns on my hands and arms.

    I am re-watching some of these. I am on a new medicine that takes away most of my appetite, so I have been finding it too much work to cook for myself. But then I just eat snacks and junk. :( But turning some of these old eps on is making me want to cook for the fun of it, and then I will eat better. So thank you. :)

    Everything looked delicious. I don't think I've had fried enoki mushrooms before, but I'd like to try it.
    Also, thank you for your videos. I used to not like cooking, but I think it was because I found it stressful. Then I started watching your videos. They're so relaxing and fun to watch, and seeing you problem-solve and recover from occasional mistakes made it seem like cooking was something it was okay to not be totally perfect at all the time. It made cooking seem less intimidating. I do more cooking now, and it doesn't stress me as much to try new things. I attribute some of that to your inspiration.

    the kimcheese tamagoyaki looks insanely good, i'm gonna have to try it sometime soon!! i've been watching for a couple of years and it's crazy to see how much your daughter has grown. for adults, 2 years may seem like nothing much, but kids are capable of growing a lot in that time. it's also interesting to see the evolution of the kitchen!

    What an amazing way to start off the weekend with an Imamu video! x
    The enoki looks scrumptious, what a creative way to make waffle sandwiches. 😍 The roasted pumpkin is so gorgeous I love the colours and frying pumpkin is something I definitely need to try! 'Out of the pan home run' made me laugh. 😂 The garlic butter shrimp looks delicious. Everything looks absolutely incredible I cannot get enough of it! 👌

    I love autumn for squish season. Butternut squash or pumpkin makes for a lovely soup or pasta sauce. If you add either with onions, garlic, chicken stock, blend and then add garlic and herb cream cheese. It makes a delicious cheap soup or pasta sauce. I made a butternut squash pasta sauce with pumpkin filled pasta and it was so good. I love all your recipes and have tried some of them myself. So thought I’d share one of my own for the autumn season 😊

    Now that I cook it myself, I love pumpkin of any sort. But I find them to be naturally sweet enough for me, so I do not enjoy them with honey or sugar. I love to cook them with a little curry powder to add more savory flavors. Cooked with butter and curry powder is one of my very favorite methods!

    I’ve written up the recipe for the ham and cheese waffle sandwich for anyone who wants it (feel free to correct me)
    Ham and cheese waffle sandwich:
    ingredients:
    • 1 packet enoki mushrooms
    • Potato starch (or cornstarch)
    • Rice bran oil (or peanut, canola, vegetable, or rapeseed oil as a substitute)
    • Thinly sliced ham
    • Cheese of choice
    • Spinach
    • Waffles
    • Olive oil (for dip)
    Method:
    Wash the enoki, drain and dry, and add potato starch to the enoki (2tbsp) shake the bowl to cover the enoki with potato starch.
    In a pan, pour oil to cover the pan base. Once the oil is bubbling, place the coated enoki in the oil and fry until golden brown- don’t forget to cook both sides. (If the oil reacts too heavily, coat with more starch). Once cooked, place the enoki on a drying rack to cool. Add salt to taste and place aside.
    Lay the waffles out on a baking tray lined with parchment/baking paper. Place squares of your cheese of choice in the dips of the waffles. Place two folded slices of ham on top of the cheese, followed by two spinach leaves, two more squares of cheese and toast in the oven until the cheese has melted to your liking or has a golden crust to it.
    Once your waffles have toasted, remove from the oven and add the enoki, some more spinach if desired and salt and pepper to taste.
    Add olive oil for a dip, plate the waffles, and voilà your waffles are ready to eat :))
