      ​@@thomgizziz for a new cook it may be like that or feel like that but you'll eventually get better at it. Cooking ain't just the cooking part but also inventory and time management. You can only get good at this if you're the one cooking and grocery shopping every week. It's a bit of a learning curve but until you've developed your methods and standard pantry items you'll always feel this initial chaos and produce more waste than preferred. Yes this is a very adult activity haha, one that's usually handles by the mothers/wives of families.

    My parents are both from Portugal, so, during my entire childhood, all I ate was what my mom cooked, which she learned from her mom, and so on. Then, at some point, I dated a girl who was taking French classes. She became friends with people from a lot of different countries and every now and then, we were invited to eat at their place, so I had the chance to eat typical homemade food from India, Thailand, Indonesia...
    I could never really afford to travel to different places but just trying all this different food made by people from all those different places, it really opened my mind to different flavours!
    Also, if you like to cook, you can try to make those dishes yourself but even better, you can choose what you like best from each of these dishes and make your own meal. Some people might feel offended if you change one of their typical meals by mixing in ingredients from a completely different country but I think that, as long as you're not claiming that you're "improving" a traditional meal but you're creating your own, inspired by different cultures and traditions, you're doing nothing wrong.

    • @csl9495

      Also homemade food is always the best too, food that you'd never find at a restaurant. And also, also surprisingly a common dish will uniquely vary from home to home too, which makes it interesting/exciting. I often find people's stir fry is different as its usually made to the cooks personal taste, and this really allows you expand your flavor vocabulary

    Man ever since i started watching josh, guga, and max the meat guy, my cooking has elevated a few good notches. I dont tend to make any of the full recipes. But the value in just taking bits and pieces, ideas, different flavor combinations, and making it my own is awesome. Thats the way to do it. Also, big thanks to josh for making me break down and buy some MSG. It goes in most of my recipes now 😂 and everyone i cook for is now blown away by the umami and lingering flavor.

    Egg rolls are probably my favorite food ever and I've been making them at home for many years. One time, I made homemade egg rolls at a house party, people were drinking and partying hard, I put the egg rolls out, a pyramid of them stacked on a plate , one person tried one and word of mouth spread fast, they were gone very quickly and I got lots of compliments and questions about it. No lie, homemade egg rolls are not comparable to any other egg roll from a restaurant or frozen food isle. It gets so much better. Personally I go heavier on the veggie ratio and use nice little bite cubes of fresh ginger, black pepper, garlic, green onion, mushroom, those flavors play off eachother.

  • @AlexanderCollas666

    I made it 2:48 seconds into this video and thought, "Just order a damn eggroll. I mean seriously" That being said I hope everyone who makes the eggrolls and pot stickers I order are as happily making them as Mr. Weissman is. There should be pride in your creations that is why I've always loved Japanese food and culture. One man spends his entire life making sure the simple skewers he makes are perfect, well crafted and delicious. Sometimes knowing too much is just accepting you do them all mediocrely.

    Hey Josh, I just rewatched one of your older videos just because I was interested in your asian twists. It came to my mind that you have never ever been to Tokyo and made a video about it. I think we, the community would extremely enjoy that, whatever being in the focus - Ramen, Katsu, Kobe beef etc. Can you please consider that? ❤

    • @SheyD78
      @SheyD78 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It also changes over time. When I was growing up (in Brisbane, Australia) every Chinese restaurant had basically the same dishes like beef & black bean, sweet and sour pork and mongolian lamb. These days, at least where I live, most places serve much more authentic food, the sort you might expect to order in China itself, with only a few dishes as a nod to the more westernised style. Certainly makes ordering interesting when half the time you can't even read the menu. Sadly high blood pressure means I can't do it very often.

    • @einundsiebenziger5488
      @einundsiebenziger5488 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In Germany 99 percent of Chinese or "Asian" restaurants - most are operated by Vietnamese families, and hardly distinguish between the particular countries' cuisines - use a modular system. Four kinds of protein, chicken, beef, duck or fish, are added to the same ten to twelve different sauce-vegetable combo. Often, the sauces are industrially pre-fabricated, not made in-house. If you want to enjoy somewhat authentic, hand-made Chinese cuisine you need to look for the few places actual Chinese people go to.

If it's "add one part of this to two parts of that" it does not really matter if the part is based on imperial or metric units.

We fry, stir, scramble, stew, steam with wok, we even make soup with wok. Remember get the pure iron ones, and ALWAYS prepare your wok with vegetable oil before the first cook(heat the wok up with oil on high heat, let oil cover the entire inside, heat up for 2 mins, let it cool down, dump the oil, wipe the wok with a dry towel)
