I made the lettuce wraps today! Only thing I did different was added chopped up water chestnuts and then topped each wrap with a lil crunchy chili garlic sauce. Yummy! Thanks for showing us this super simple meal!
We did the lettuce wraps this weekend just as instructed, and we really enjoyed it. But we did agree something was missing, and it was the water chestnuts like you mentioned. It was much better once we added those. I like your idea of chili garlic sauce, so I'll try that next time. Thanks for that recommendation!
What chili sauce did you use?
Do a garden tour with tips and tricks. Your garden is fabulous.
Yes!
If you're going to tell someone what to do, at least have the respect to say "please"
@@user-od4op6ng9yI think calling the garden fabulous made it go over better. Shows some authenticity. Pro home cooked even ❤️ the comment. You are correct though, please is especially important with those you arent closesly related or friends. But I read the comment like a friend would speak to another friend, gently suggesting a garden tour, followed by a genuine complement signaling desire and excitement at the prospect. But I am wrong for assuming that as you cannot type the way one speaks, so the only way to fully know someone is truly being kind is if they follow generally accepted courtesies, in this case, please forgive my kong winded reply. You are awesome.
That would be an awesome video. I second that motion.
Agree garden tour pros and cons
PLEASE!!!!
Mushroom tip:
I learnt from a mushroom farmer. Prep mushroom how you need them. Place them in a pot and fill it half way up the mushrooms. Bring to the boil and cook the water down till all has evaporated. Place oil or butter in the pot to brown and flavour. You only need a small amount as the mushroom have been cooked and not going to absorb all the fat. Hope someone finds this useful. Its the only way now I cook my mushrooms.
Not me coming home from the grocery store with bnls skls chicken thighs and wondering what to cook with the broccolini and spring garlic from my garden and seeing this video 😱 The universe is smiling on me today
Lucky!
Love how jamón is included in a video with "realistic" in the title.
Honey soy garlic chicken is king in our house. No matter how many times Ive made it its always so delish and satisfying.
Tip from a Spaniard: frying the best slices of a 200$ jamón is not the best idea. It get's very salty and the flavor changes a lot. The thin nice slices are usually eaten as is and the harder, worst parts of the leg (near the bone for example) are cut into very small pieces and used like in the video
Anyone can do what they want with their ham, but that's the way we get the most out of it in Spain
Makes total sense
I died a little on the inside when he cooked it, too. Straight Jamón ibérico is life.
Who cares, he paid 200 for the whole leg
Noted
@@b.o.4469That's why it's a tip and the op is giving him the best bang for his buck
I watch your content when I'm feeling uninspired. I love your cooking style and everything you make always looks so good
These 5-ingredient recipes are a lifesaver for busy days, proving that simplicity can still be delicious. Time to whip up some quick and tasty dishes with minimal effort. Bon appétit
Thank you for your amazing content. Your channel is one of the few that my husband enjoys watching on the big screen in the family room. He loves to cook and finds you so inspiring ❤
Great job, no dips, just poignant info & very clear. I can't believe your garden. It's got everything, & so clean. I quit my garden a few years ago, but because of yours, I may start some late stuff, so I won't lose the enthusiasm before next year.
I love watching you cook. Your vibe is so chill and I feel like I want to cook more when I watch your recipes. I'm not going to do a fermenting cave thing but this stuff is golden.
Oh, I also make a beet sauce. I blend drained canned beets with siracha, garlic and olive oil. After mixing the pasta in the beet sauce, I top with feta cheese, lemon juice and dill. I got the idea from this lady who has a show on the BBC. The color is impressive. The BBC lady used fresh cooked beets of course but I’ve been happy with canned beets-much easier. Edit: this was supposed to be another pasta sauce idea for the person who can’t eat tomatoes. I accidentally posted it as a main comment
As someone who very recently became allergic to tomatoes and celiac in the same month, I want to thank you for a pasta dish without red sauce! GF noodles aren't too bad, but adjusting to no red sauce/bbq sauce is taking a bit😢 please keep up the great content and much love from a long time fan in Oklahoma!
Outside of Alfredo eggs +butter is a good thing to add to finished, drained noodles. Maybe keep a little liquid so it doesn't burn but not much and season how you like.
Stroganoff is also good
I am intolerant to gluten and tomatoes. I use Jovial rice noodles and tomatillos as substitutions.
I am intolerant to gluten and tomatoes. I use Jovial rice noodles and tomatillos as substitutions.
Also, consider making pesto for putting on pasta.
I don’t know about good gluten free noodles, but for sauces, you can use lemon butter garlic red pepper flakes or a peanut sauce made of peanut butter, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. I always look at recipes for ratios for the peanut sauce but those are the basic ingredients
Love ur simplicity! Super easy for busy midweek meal preps 😊
This is the only cooking show i can get stuck on. So simple and delicious. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas!!❤
I just discovered your channel a week ago. I can’t tell you how reinvigorated I am. I’m about to go out on my own after being married for 20 years and your channel is inspiring me to look forward to my time alone in the kitchen. Thanks 🙏🏼
Awesome video as usual! Love your ability to use so much of each ingredient as well.
perfectly timed video as always! i’ve got lettuce, tofu, and mushrooms sitting in the fridge and i’ve been wanting to change things up and wondering how to do it. now i’m all excited to cook dinner tomorrow!!
I'd love to see like a season by season walkthrough of your garden. I really want to get to where you're at and rely on what I can harvest seasonally for the majority of our meals. Looks awesome
You have a beautiful garden, very well done! This was very inspiration! Thank you for your videos and being YOU!! 😊🔥🔥🔥
your vibe is so relaxed, I love it!! It inspires me to cook more often ❤️❤️
Loved the format with the garden walk through then using what you collected.
Mike I've been watching your content for a few years now and up until about 6 months ago, I would just watch to be amazed by your dishes and skills and hope that someday I'd have the motivation/energy to actually make the effort to learn from them in the kitchen. I now look forward to watching your videos every week as I cook for myself and get giddy each time I learn a new little tip or trick and amaze myself by the meals I make that are actually delicious. Thanks so much for being accessible to every day people and making cooking fun. God I am so grateful for TH-cam sometimes lol
Great ides for fairly quick and not too messy weekday dinners. While based in South Korea, we called the traditional hibachi "Korean Tacos" because you load the lettuce leak with whatever from the charcoal grill in the middle of the table. Delish!!
Thank you so much for this. Your openness and honesty about your challenges helps me to realize everyone is crazy inside their own head! :)
Man, love your vids. watching them are very fun and insightful! Thank you!
absolutely love these videos!!! 💖
amazing! could you please someday make an episode on how you clean/wash stuff? especially the airfrier and the pans on the outside
I especially liked the tofu stir fry wraps. Thank you for some more inspiration.
I've watched your video's before but this one just seals the deal for me, I had to subscribe lol; I'm moving out to my first apartment soon and video's like this make me excited to cook!
I just had my first tomato sandwich of the year - toasted bread + mayo + homegrown tomatoes + salt. One of my most favorite things to eat and so few ingredients but amazing flavor!
I've learned so much from this channel. I love it.
I loved the garden tour and tips.
Lettuce wraps are such a goto evening meal for me, i find i need a lot of food during the work day but once im hom my appetite just shrinks and i want the lightest things and things cased in a crunchy fresh lettuce are just lovely.
Whenever I crave for take-out I'm making the soy honey chicken thighs : "doing the right choice" never became that simple. Thanks for those very simple recipes !!
Love ur simplicity! Super easy for busy midweek meal preps
From now on i love your recipe, thank you for tutorials
Hey mate I was so tempted to buy takeaway and I made the teriyaki chicken as I had all of the ingredients available. Wow! What an amazing flavour packed meal that's so easy and quick to make.
My hunter/ gatherer hit the woods today and brought home oyster mushrooms ,chicken of the woods,wild grape leaves , raspberry leaves and clover (for tea ) .
The service berries are almost ready ❤
Thank you for your video ! I am disabled and chronically ill, a typical '' meal '' for me is usually crisps and sweets lol, I love to see other cooks online. When I am able to, I so some potato salad or pasta
Thank you for this video 🥹🙏🏼 beautiful, delicious and creative!!
so I bought the Jamón for my TH-cam Short and I've slowly been chipping away at it. Was it a solid investment? I think so 🤔 Would I buy it again? 🤷♂
I hope so! More videos!❤❤❤❤❤
@@nocontabanconmiastucia939 On my way for the deals 🏃
Do you have to refrigerate it? How is it stored?
@@dennystrat7216 no refrigeration since its cured. I keep it in my fermenting room in the basement which is a little cooler
@@dennystrat7216in spain we just keep it in the kitchen covered with a cloth. It is almost compulsory to dig in everytime you pass by it so it never lasts too long lol
Heck yeah dude keep em coming always need inspiration 😊
Solid meals! Really digging the honey chicken... I'll probably be making that tonight haha! I also really appreciate the quick tip on the mushrooms!
I just found your channel a few days ago. I can’t believe I just found you!! I have been missing so much.
I love your style. Maybe it’s because I’m millennial old school, but I still prefer these longer videos over TikTok (I just saw your TikTok cooking video). Keep it up!
P.s. totally binging / catching up on your videos in the background while working
sprouting broccoli is a staple in my garden for years now. it's amazing, beats the big head varieties for home gardens by leaps and bounds.
Love this guy’s recipes. Thank you so much.
Gonna try some of these FOR SURE!
Thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏼🔥🔥
Going to try that tofu wrap this week ty!
I would love it if you mentioned the type of pan you're using for every recipe coz I usually struggle with choosing what works best.. Thanks for the video, love it❤
love the sweet little garden!
Love your channel! Keep up the giid work ❤❤😊❤😊❤😊😊
putting the bone on top of the chicken skin to hold it down in the air fryer is brilliant. Thanks for that!
I would love to see you do videos on how to garden. Specifically your lettuces under that net thing. I want to start and I have no idea what to do
Made the pasta tonight to use up some extra fennel. I ended up using pancetta instead of the jamón. It was great!! Only added some red pepper flakes and a squeeze of lemon.
I particularly enjoyed this one, Mike. Yum! First, I WILL be making that simplified chicken teriyaki! Yum! Thanks for these great ideas!
Great recipe. Love that your from Long Island. I lived in green lawn til my 20s. Expensive place to live. Thanks for great recipes.
I love this. Beautiful inspiration, delicious food, no pretentious blathering. Love it. And your garden is lovely
I can remember when you and your brother started the yourtube cooking channel. you were living in an apartment with a garden rooftop. I think you actually filmed a cooking video up there. It was fun watching your garden grow and your knife skills sharpen.
Looks 😋 Thanks for sharing 🙂
as someone who struggles to cook for vegetarian gf sometimes, those lettuce wraps look perfect. gonna try it!
These all look fantastic!!! Trying them all… even the tofu.
❤ I am loving this.
You said jamón so beautifully!!!
I would love to see where you store ur Jamon. Amazing vid as always thank you! We are what we eat and I AM AWESOME! Thx
Amazing, really liked it.
14:45 We’ve eaten a lot of meat so we’ll use tofu to keep things vegetarian
16:15 Let’s add a big old dollop of pork lard! 😂
Vegetarian =/= Vegan.
Vegans aren't even supposed to drive because tires are made of animals.
It’s just fat of choice (I honestly assumed it was coconut oil)
@@Axeloy but it definitely wasn't. This had me baffled too.
I envy you for this beautiful garden!!
If people are on the fence about fennel (I enjoy it but never seem to get through a whole one), just grab some dry fennel seeds - they are in supermarkets in Aus, wi i assume in the US too. I throw them on all sorts of things and you have good control of how much flavour you want. Delicious with pasta!
Cheat code - freeze the tofu, thaw it and press it wrapped in a dish towel to remove excess moisture. Then cube it for the recipe.
The flavors of the aromatics and sauce will absorb throughout the sponge-like holes that are created by freezing the tofu.
I'm with you on the pre-frozen tofu. The texture is great. I was also going to suggest a little cornstarch on them before going into the air fryer. They get a better crisp.
Wow! What a bountiful garden
You da man Mike..Love your simplicity
Keep up the good work...😊
Your garden is so freaking amazing wow. One day
More episodes like this please!!!
Nice Video.
When I started cooking after moving out i tried to do fancy recipies.
These days we try to make good food with as much local produce as possible
Also we been to italy and ate the best pasta ever at a small local grotto... gniocchi with ham and brussle sprouts...
2:27 see how you are harvesting the kale? You can harvest your lettus the same way and the lettus will keep producing more leaves. 💖🌞🌵😷
Yummy!😁 learning a lot! Thank you
Uhhh green garlic is the best honestly, to eat with leaves and white part (as a salad), when still very young. so mild and yummy!
My favorite 5 ingredient meal is Gnocchi fried golden brown, mushrooms also fried, sage leaves mixed with the gnocchi and mushrooms, tomatoes dried in the oven for a couple of hours and some parmesan cheese
I wish you made a video every day! Haha! Love your videos.
Those look really good especially that tofu.
The crunchy skin was definitely a nice edition to that teriyaki chicken I also agree adding scallions or I think I would have added something spicy like red chili flakes to give it a little careful Or actually fresh ginger would have been the best. Or even dehydratedcrunchy ginger on top
I gotta try the butter lettuce wrap! My mom used to say, "Salt and pepper go a long way."
My Mom has a five ingredient meal that my brother, when he was very young, called 'Dog Food'. He asked Mom to make it so often, the name stuck. It is chicken, a can of corn, ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet), and cream of mushroom soup thinned with milk. The name my family has for it might be off putting, but it is very tasty. And yes, my Mom thought it up in the 1980s.
You’ve got a great camera. So many lenses make the setting look flat but yours has great depth (idk if that’s the right term) so many details remain crisp and nothing feels flat
What do you do for a living? Your garden and house is awesome. No way TH-cam pays this good.
The Garden Harvest just feels like a flex at this point.
You have the dream garden wow
As a poor elderly shut-in on Soc Sec... I enjoy watching your videos after pulling the tab on a can of 9-Lives Super-Supper....the pate' spreads wonderfully on a generic saltine cracker.
awesome!
My heart started bleeding when you put the beautiful Jamon into the frying pan. It's a delicacy you eat raw as topping. Better use bacon instead for frying.
I like how your recipes are legit and doable, at least they work for me 😅
Dannng where have I been. Your upgrades are gorgeous ( kitchen and garden). You're a gardener too? Gotta include a little of that for me lol
I think the Italian cuisine is a proof of simple = delicious
Man your garden looks perfect
I will cook every meal from this video 👌
Love the garden ❤5ingredients
Love the recipes and information - The Prosciutto, How do you store it and how long does it last? 🥂
