      One way to practice this is to go wild with your current stuff in your fridge. So long as you have starch, protein, veg and salt, you can make up pretty good meal

      That’s why I love this series! The 4 levels as well is great because for some dishes I feel I’m only better than the amateur, but others I feel im better than the “pro” home cook. Each spot you’re at you can learn from the person above!

    Esther is the perfect chef for these swap episodes because you know she’s really gonna maximize the usual basic ingredients and elevate them, which could be a very educational experience for us viewers. I can’t appreciate as much the other chefs who bring in a couple more ingredients just so they could do their own interpretation. I find it cheating in a way. Imo, what Esther does in this swap series stays true to the challenge and that for me shows how skilled, talented, and knowledgeable she really is as a chef.

      Bravery and stupidity can often be easily exchanged, sadly. If you know something is dangerous, take proper precautions like Esther does. If you add water to acid, it's going to boil. Chemists will instead add acid to the water so the heat dissipates quickly. It is not cowardice, it's having the knowledge to know something bad could possibly happen and avoiding the bad result.

      It really is, it is something I started doing a few years ago, and ever since people ask me to cook for special occassions, such as the Holidays.
      Do not waste, and maximize flavors, and it elevates every single thing you cook.
      Of course the better the ingredients, the better the dish comes out, but you can make really really amazing dishes with cheap ingredients using that ideology. And in turn, you can really mess up really good ingredients, if you do not attempt to maximize their flavor and or things go to waste..
      But if you use that ideology with amazing ingredients, it simply... well everything turns out breathtaking.

      The zero waste philosophy was integral to pretty much every culture until last century when commercial food processes ended up with a surplus of food to everyone middle class and above in income. Sad to say it, but losing that eliminated a lot of food that would just go to waste that was actually better than what was considered above what wasn't just something you could pick up pre-packaged. Adopting a limited waste philosophy has helped out my cooking a lot. Even when I buy a pre-cooked chicken from my local supermarket, the bones and other leftover bits go to a broth to be used later. Same with the ends of green onions, leeks, lettuce, carrots, etc. And the broth can be used for months afterward with proper freezer storage, not that it lasts any more than 3 weeks for me.

      @J If you never cook yourself it is going to be hard at the beginning, because you've gotta learn the basics, like how to chop your veggies, how to create different flavor profiles and how to layer the flavors slowly to build a dish.
      If you already have some experience you kind of know what works together and it's going to be easier to follow more and more complex recipes step by step.

    Holy moly just tried this recipe today following the $13 ingredients (lol!).. except I added bok choy, pineapple, and carrots as well. And the store didn’t have head-on shrimp, so after boiling the shrimp shells for the stock, I took those same shells and fried them in oil and used them instead of shrimp heads for the shrimp paste… this was the most incredible fried rice I’ve had at home and it truly felt restaurant quality… maximizing flavor and using every part of every ingredient made such a huge difference…. Thank you!!! Mind blown, life changed!
    Quick edit: I did happen to have the same koshihikari sushi rice that was used in the $242 version, so that’s what I used. I personally love short grain sushi rice for just about anything!

      @daolchang 3 роки тому +18

      I think the most common is to just put oil then wipe it while its in the heat still, get it to smoke the oil, never heard of this cold water shock, which I guess would not be good for the longevity of the wok? its usually not recommended for any pan or pot, but I guess if the metal shrinks in the cold it absorbs the oil inside quicker? idk

    • @BennyTheButcher2
      @BennyTheButcher2 3 роки тому +29

      That's because it's not a thing. Seasoning a wok is done by polymerizing oil so it bonds with the metal. You do this by heating the oil. I'm not sure what thermo-shocking the metal would accomplish...other than potentially distorting the cooking surface

    As a Chinese, my egg friend rice is like 3 dollars. Cha siu, shrimp, rice, egg, spring onions and some veg. Cooked overnight rice in with very little oil, shrimp in till halfway cooked, add egg and stir till half cooked while coating the rice, diced cha siu for a quick toss (the sauce will burn), chopped veg in, heat off, chopped spring onions, viola.

    On the other hand it shows also that even if you're not a professional cook, but you get quality, interesting ingredients, some more professional tools and a few pro tips, you can create something really impressive.
