  • The key to great corn soup is extracting as much flavor from the corn as you can: www.seriouseat...
    In this video, I make corn soup on the stovetop, but the recipe is essentially the same as the pressure cooker version I linked above. If you prefer corn chowder with potatoes to straight up corn soup, here's a recipe for that: www.seriouseat...

    Hey Kenji! I drove by your restaurant the other day while I was picking up my sisters in San Mateo. Wasn’t expecting to see you but when we pulled up, you were outside with your daughter. I yelled out to you like a madman and you waved to us. Just wanted to say I appreciated that and it was a pleasure seeing you. My wife and I are planning to come by to actually enjoy a meal soon! Love your vids, they’ve been heaven sent during these crazy times. Take care!

    Kenji, this is going to sound weird. But there was a French restaurant I used to go to with my family as a kid. And the big burly French owner would always serve us. And every time he would pour our water or wine for my parents, it would be silent except for the wine or water being poured, and the sound of his breathing through the nose. It was ASMR for me at the time, I just didn’t know it. You sir, are the second person I’ve encountered now that has ASMR level nose breathing. And for that, I thank you.

    The Trinity is Cajun, you had it right Kenji
    The history lesson, if anyone is interested...the Cajuns of Southwest Louisiana were French expats who started their community in Canada but then were driven out and came south. Many Cajun basics are twists on French concepts, like trinity is onion, celery, bell pepper and mirepoix is onion, celery, and carrot.

    The best easy garlic tip I found was from an Indian chef here in the uk. Chop garlic in a food processor, then immediately portion tablespoons of it into a silicon ice cube tray and freeze. Easy to store, easy to use, and loses very little flavour if done in a timely fashion. Garlic ginger paste is so typical in Indian cuisine that I do two batches of one pure garlic and one equal by weight of peeled ginger and garlic. No added oils or salts like jarred garlic, and lasts basically forever if you ziploc the cubes well.

    I like the techniques Kenji demonstrates here for dealing with ears of corn. I would definitely roast the corn in the husk in the hottest possible oven before doing this, but right now I'm using cans of corn. I'll remember how Kenji does it when they are used up. I do make a roux first. I like it a little less smooth so I only puree half of the soup and add some heavy cream to it. And if I make that oil+paprika garnish I don't think I'll be able to resist the temptation to make a smiley face on the soup. I could practically feel him resisting.

Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

    I've been using scissors for my scallions and chives because I always seemed to crush them with my knife no matter how often I honed it. Today I learned about the backslice! I'm gonna be trying that soon, thanks Kenji!

    I thought your scallion slicing technique looked a little strange. I chalked it up to the camera angle, but then you actually explained what you were doing. I feel like I learn a little something new with every video you put out, so thanks for that.

    I ordered an entire box of Thai snacks from Universal Yums bc they advertised a "creamy corn snack"... It was FOUR freaking PIECES OF CANDY!
    This, on the other hand, looks like it will deliver that corn flavor I'm craving

    I'm currently making this, the corn-cobs are simmering atm. I used some chorizo sausage instead of pepperoni. I'll edit the result in here once it's done!
    Edit: It's delicious!

    I wish I would've seen this 6 years ago, when I tried to make tomato soup and stuck it in a blender. Ended up with some decent burns and even more decent paint job on my wall and ceiling.

    Interesting thing with the temperature vs the flux. I guess the best way to think about that is that a gas flame is usually about the same temperature, its just about how much flame there is meaning more flux

    It's called sh2 mostly. So much sugar because of the genes. There is also other terms for different varietes. Xtra-Tender is a patented thing too. sh2 been around for a second. All the good sweet corn is hybrids. The old open-pollinated are fine but side by side you WILL see the difference.

    I use pre-minced garlic quite often. It really depends how much effort/time I'm putting into cooking. If it's a big weekend cooking project or something garlic centric I do the extra work, otherwise, ehhh... The trick is to use quite a bit more of the pre-minced garlic than you would fresh.

    5:10 I think it depends also on HOW you're using the garlic. Nothing can replace the pungency of fresh, unpeeled garlic if you're using it raw or just barely cooked but in a very long cooked dish where most of the allicin would be broken down anyway, I don't think it makes THAT much of a difference. I've made my black beans with fresh, unpeeled garlic and with pre-peeled garlic and for the life of me, I cannot tell a difference in flavor once the beans are actually done.

    The story from that slicing technique on the scallions is funny. I remember when you said the women made you throw out the entire work you did because the slices were not pretty enough and you were doing it “wrong”. Cool how you cut them like that now always. Lesson learned!

    Every time I see your vids I can’t help thinking how happy your family is sitting down to your wonderful creations. Your dog needs more exercise but I see she enjoys your food too. Seriously though put her on a diet and exercise more. Her body isn’t used to the amount of salt humans can consume.
    But I still love your vids. Gg dude 👍🏻

    Mr Lopez-Alt, your spice cabinet is a thing of beauty, but I have a question, it's full of huge pots of spices, I'm always coming across how essential it is to use "fresh" spices (alongside the obvious use whole and toast them) but there is a limit to how much a small household can use.. especially if your spice collection escalates.. do you end up throwing a lot of those spices out or manage to use them?

    • @ytreece
      @ytreece 4 роки тому +1

      I have a lot of spices like he does. I use them a lot, and try to buy whole spices. The ground ones stay pretty potent for at least a year. I only throw them out when I can tell they aren’t good. A lot of them actually last longer than a year. The whole spices are pretty much good indefinitely.
