I remember watching Usagi/Serena eat some takoyaki and thinking she was was boiled potatoes with toothpicks 🐙 i believe I saw this on or the movies, the one about an astronomer and a woman from the moon. a takoyaki episode could be fun!
I'm so glad you clarified the pork being allowed to be barely pink. I'm always paranoid about undercooked pork and even when the thermometer says it's over 140 I still think it's undercooked and like 30 extra seconds is all it takes to make it dry...makes me feel better 😂
@@yungwildnfree So pigs are not picky eaters and can be cannabalistic the people that raised them would take advantage of this by feeding the pigs what ever food leftovers they had including meat and vegetables that have gone bad this caused pork to be very unsafe unless you cooked it to a high enough temperature and caused pork to have a bad reputation. Since about the 1950's they started feeding pigs food developed specifically for them the same way you will see with cows and chickens this along with inspections of the meat has led to pork being a lot safer to eat.
Plenty of actual Japanese people simply use bread crumbs for panko, as "panko" quite literally translates to "bread crumbs". It is traditionally baked and shredded. You're thinking of corporate/factory/sometimes-restaurant types of panko. Please do your research before you spread false information.
Same, my favorite games in the series were cooking mama 2, cooking mama 3, cooking mama 4, world kitchen, crafting mama, gardening mama and camping mama.
I learned to make Tonkatsu after living in Japan for a few years, and it's become one of my family specialties. My only 'big' change is using garlic salt instead of regular salt when seasoning the pork cutlets, to add a bit more flavor.
@notmefrfraw cabbage help alleviate the heavy taste from the katsu, pretty refreshing, though I like to have a light dressing on the cabbage. Also miso soup helps wash all of this down
I genuinely don't think you understand how important these videos are. Im an ignorant nave when it comes to cooking but you simplify these dishes that even i believe i can do this and will attempt to do so to bring a different food into my family taste buds. Thanks Alvin, you're a GOAT and anytime i see you in the video title i know you'll steer me into a fun new dish 😊
We discovered tonkatsu when we studied Japan in our homeschool world geography unit a couple years ago. I called it "Japanese Southern Food" because a deep fried pork chop is definitely something you'd find here in the South! We loved it so much when we made it for the unit study it became a regular meal in our rotation and we actually plan on having it again this weekend. :P
I NEED more cooking mama videos. The more literally you follow the instructions in the game, the better. I’d be willing to see you follow the game first and then improve on it, if you like.
I remember having a really bad day once and to make me feel better my girlfriend made me this with a porkchop over some Japanese curry she made with rice. It helped a lot and I now associate Tonkatsu with how much I love her
This was one of the easy recipes in the game and I STILL have Cooking Mama, Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, and the Cooking Mama Wii game. These games gave me a love for cooking as a teen!
My dad taught me that if you cut diagonally to the meat - specifically, around 30-45° to the muscle fibers - you end with a much more tender cut. Works phenomenally for preparing venison and wild pork.
Its cool to see a recipe for tonkatsu, ive wanted to try it since I read "Tondemo skill de isekai hourou meshi" because they made the idea of it sound so delicious. I plan to try it soon and im super excited
There's a lot of mileage in doing recipes from Cooking Mama. Especially if you're sticking to the methods shown. I look forward to you attempting the cup noodles stage of the game.
Tonkatsu is my favorite meat to accompany japanese curry! Otherwise topped with tonkatsu sauce, japanese mayo and a bit of nori is an absolute classic and tonkatsu sandwich is something I've eaten a lot when in japan.
With the TTYD remake on the horizon, I'd really hope you guys try and tackle something from the first three Paper Mario games, lot of potential from them I'd say.
I really like Alvin's content so far! If he's going to be the MC of the BCU this season, we should get more "sides" with the main content. Perhaps a one-off Vlog of a normal day?
Try chunking up the bread into bite sized pieces and nuking it in a food processor until it stops screaming. Either that or wait for it to stale before you grate it.
Hey, Alvin! If you want thinner slices of shredded cabbage, you can use a vegetable peeler like how they shred cabbage for bun bo hue! Hope this helped :D
Hi! Love your videos, been subscribed since the old krabby patty video from years ago. I was wondering if you’d make the lamb stew with dried plums from the hunger games books? Every time I read it, it sounds so appealing and I wanted to see your take!
Here's something that could be a neat challenge, a sweet table featuring the DOA girls' favorite desserts from Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3! -Strawberry mille-feuille -Yokan -Sachetorte -Blancmange -Prinsessbakelse -Cream puffs -Manju -Anmitsu -Marrons glaces
Cooking mama is one of my favorite nostalgic game series! I had almost every game in the series, including the spin-offs (my favorite spin-offs were crafting mama and camping mama). If you wanna try more cooking mama recipes, you should try making those heart-shaped marshmallows or cooking mama cookies or rice crackers.
I feel like we absolutely need either the cloud bread or yakitai (well, taiyaki) from Hirogaru Sky! Precure, in the show when trying to recreate yakitai for Tsubasa they make so many interesting fillings for taiyaki and I think it's worth a shot
One I'd be interested in is the Soba noodles from My Hero Academia. Shoto always says he prefers his cold, while other characters always say they're better hot, so 'd love to hear your thoughts on which is better.
I once animated a Babish parody (still on my channel) for Tonkatsu a few years back. I’d like to believe I was an inspiration. It’s hecka untrue, but I can dream Seeing an actual Babish Universe episode about Tonkatsu brings everything full circle for me and that gives me a great happiness
yall ever just save the end parts of the cutlet and save it to the very last bite cuz of its crispiness? cuz i do and i use it for the most perfect bites!
Funny. I had a deep fried pork cutlet for lunch yesterday. It had been 2 years since I ate that dish. It was so big, I needed two (small)bowls of rice to finish the 2/3s of it. It cost me 9,800 won(roughly 7.50$) but it was worth it.
I know this is from the game and I always appreciate making everything from scratch, but to make this recipe more approachable and easy (especially if you are intimidated with deep frying)... do yourself a favor and just buy the Panko Breadcrumbs and the Bulldog sauce, they are both very "authentic" and honestly hard to beat. It's like Heinz Ketchup... you could make your own ketchup but do you really need to?
Fresh Breadcrumbs... Salad Shooter or commercial grade equivalent with grater attachment. I'm pretty sure Kitchenaid makes an attachment for a stand mixer that'd make quick work of this task.
Yay! A recipe from Cooking Mama! I love this game series. Thank you so much for this video, and I would love to see more Cooking Mama videos if you can!❤
I think the highlighting of the use of fruit is related more to the cost of fruit there than anything, maybe a westerner version should similarly use ingredients that we consider premium and pair well with tonkatsu.
OK, Starfield has been out for a few weeks and they have A BUNCH of interesting and strange cuisine on various planets. All of the "Chunks" food seems too easy (well, except maybe the apple, red wine, and cola), but many of the dishes you can craft or purchase from fine dining establishments around the settled systems look super tasty! Would love to see your take on some of their offerings. 😊
Please do the Mango Pudding next because it’s the hardest one
Harder than my …..?
*Oh no* ,the pudding wont come out or will bounce of the plate lol
JaidenAnimations can attest to this
Wait you want him to do what?
it's super easy in real life, just mix jelly powder with evapourated milk
I really would like to see Anime with Alvin do some foods from Sailor Moon. Given how much she eats, I'm shocked that it hasn't been featured yet.
I remember watching Usagi/Serena eat some takoyaki and thinking she was was boiled potatoes with toothpicks 🐙 i believe I saw this on or the movies, the one about an astronomer and a woman from the moon. a takoyaki episode could be fun!
This dish has a special place in my heart. 25 years ago it was the first Japanese food I ate on our first date with the woman I would end up marrying.
I'm so glad you clarified the pork being allowed to be barely pink. I'm always paranoid about undercooked pork and even when the thermometer says it's over 140 I still think it's undercooked and like 30 extra seconds is all it takes to make it dry...makes me feel better 😂
Yeah pork is no where as unsafe as it used to be since pigs aren't fed slop anymore but actual pig feed.
I agree with you
@@WintersMinion
Huh what? Can you rephrase this for non foreigners? What happened to the pigs before they where „actually fed“ thanks.
@@yungwildnfree So pigs are not picky eaters and can be cannabalistic the people that raised them would take advantage of this by feeding the pigs what ever food leftovers they had including meat and vegetables that have gone bad this caused pork to be very unsafe unless you cooked it to a high enough temperature and caused pork to have a bad reputation. Since about the 1950's they started feeding pigs food developed specifically for them the same way you will see with cows and chickens this along with inspections of the meat has led to pork being a lot safer to eat.
You can eat medium rare pork. It's not like chicken, it's safe to eat basically raw. Trichinosis has been almost entirely eradicated in the west.
FYI the bread used for panko isn't traditionally baked, it's electrified between two electrodes, which is why it's so light and flakey
Adam Ragusea has a video on this! Really informative
man i wanna try tazer bread!! lol
@@yepthatsegg3604 tazer bread is best for breading - just buy panko from your supermarket
@@yepthatsegg3604 Such a cooler name than panko. lol.
Plenty of actual Japanese people simply use bread crumbs for panko, as "panko" quite literally translates to "bread crumbs". It is traditionally baked and shredded. You're thinking of corporate/factory/sometimes-restaurant types of panko. Please do your research before you spread false information.
This type of cooking game is so nostalgic for me! I used to play similar games all the time when I was younger.
Same. I think it's where I got my cooking hobby from
Same, my favorite games in the series were cooking mama 2, cooking mama 3, cooking mama 4, world kitchen, crafting mama, gardening mama and camping mama.
Alvin, can you make the pumpkin soup from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword? It is pumpkin spice season after all! Great video by the way!
ahhh that would be awesome! 🎃🧡
Pumpkin soup from Twilight Princess clears tbh
Twilight Princess one would be better because we know more ingredients
While he’s at it, he should make grandma’s soup from windwaker!
@@javagirl98 (looks at the Unofficial Zelda Cookbook I have)
(wonders if I should tell them both those soups are in that book)
I learned to make Tonkatsu after living in Japan for a few years, and it's become one of my family specialties. My only 'big' change is using garlic salt instead of regular salt when seasoning the pork cutlets, to add a bit more flavor.
Love cooking, love Cooking Mama, never thought of actually making the game's recipes. Gonna try It!

Doing an Arcade with Alvin based on a cooking game feels like cheating, but you can't argue with results!
Man, Cooking Mama was the game that actually got me into cooking. Makes me wanna try again
I forgot how smooth and easy this channel is to watch. I love it!
I NEED more cooking mama videos. The more literally you follow the instructions in the game, the better. I’d be willing to see you follow the game first and then improve on it, if you like.

That's nice 😊
I didn't know cabbage helps with my digestive system when I eat fried food.
Please continue with the videos. Y'all doing such a great job 🎉😊

3:24
For thinly slicing cabbage, I like to use a cheese slicer ("Ostehøvel"). It's my go-to tool when making coleslaw.
I would watch a whole series on just cooking mama recipes. Haha
Mmm, this is my favorite dish of all time. Thanks for making it for us, Babish!
I would love to see you do more 'Cooking Mama' recipes. I only ever played it on the Nintendo DS, but I have many fond memories of that game.
Been living on my own for a start and this is the fourth meal I've ever made by myself, and it is amazing thank you so much!
What a beautiful presentation of the plate. dude seriously 10/10! Appealing to the eyes and appetizing to the soul.
Tonkatsu has to be in my top 5 of favorite foods of all time!
Its cool to see a recipe for tonkatsu, ive wanted to try it since I read "Tondemo skill de isekai hourou meshi" because they made the idea of it sound so delicious. I plan to try it soon and im super excited
I absolutely love tonkatsu, especially over some white rice and tonkatsu sauce. It's so delicious, man.
This reminds of that kdrama series called “Moving” and 3 new episodes coming tomorrow 😌
I wonder if pineapple would make a better sauce than prunes.
Pineapple and pork tend to work really well together
There's a lot of mileage in doing recipes from Cooking Mama. Especially if you're sticking to the methods shown. I look forward to you attempting the cup noodles stage of the game.
Tonkatsu is my favorite meat to accompany japanese curry! Otherwise topped with tonkatsu sauce, japanese mayo and a bit of nori is an absolute classic and tonkatsu sandwich is something I've eaten a lot when in japan.
0:41 every time he intros I can't help but reply with "GENERAL KENOBI!"
Always have to think of German Schnitzel when I see Tonkatsu
With the TTYD remake on the horizon, I'd really hope you guys try and tackle something from the first three Paper Mario games, lot of potential from them I'd say.
Even better than Mama😂
“When I take a bite it feels like everything is right in the world” we love you Alvin!
" I'm pretty sure there's a way better way to do it" I'm pretty sure it's called a mandolin
3:30 vegetable peeler
3:55 that’s why you use slightly stale bread, never fresh.
If you want thinly cut cabbage, use a potato peeler. It work very well
I never knew lemon was a common side for tonkatsu! I think it would really remind me of german pork or veal cutlet this way too
Alvin is the only reason I'm still subbed
I really like Alvin's content so far! If he's going to be the MC of the BCU this season, we should get more "sides" with the main content. Perhaps a one-off Vlog of a normal day?
cooking mama my beloved
Finallyyyyy the cooking mama episode has arrived! 🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭
Alvin had such a great TH-cam channel I hope he makes more content soon!
Try chunking up the bread into bite sized pieces and nuking it in a food processor until it stops screaming. Either that or wait for it to stale before you grate it.
Hey, Alvin! If you want thinner slices of shredded cabbage, you can use a vegetable peeler like how they shred cabbage for bun bo hue! Hope this helped :D
Love your videos Alvin! Thanks for this!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Freeze the baguette next time. That is what i used to do when i had to make fresh thin bread chips for an appetizer at restaurant i worked at.
Hi! Love your videos, been subscribed since the old krabby patty video from years ago. I was wondering if you’d make the lamb stew with dried plums from the hunger games books? Every time I read it, it sounds so appealing and I wanted to see your take!
Here's something that could be a neat challenge, a sweet table featuring the DOA girls' favorite desserts from Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3!
-Strawberry mille-feuille
-Yokan
-Sachetorte
-Blancmange
-Prinsessbakelse
-Cream puffs
-Manju
-Anmitsu
-Marrons glaces
Also some of the drinks
I spent so much time stirring digital eggs as a kid man they were in like every recipie
Starfield food needs to be posted immoderately I need some Chunks, the sheer amount of unique food items gives endless possibilities
this reminds me of a meal i had in a korean airport once, it was probably one of the best tonkatsu ive had
Cooking mama is one of my favorite nostalgic game series! I had almost every game in the series, including the spin-offs (my favorite spin-offs were crafting mama and camping mama).
If you wanna try more cooking mama recipes, you should try making those heart-shaped marshmallows or cooking mama cookies or rice crackers.
Whole fried shark head from Dave the Diver... or really any of the dishes from Dave the Diver, could probably make a series on the game.
I feel like we absolutely need either the cloud bread or yakitai (well, taiyaki) from Hirogaru Sky! Precure, in the show when trying to recreate yakitai for Tsubasa they make so many interesting fillings for taiyaki and I think it's worth a shot
amazing the vidio thank you for sharing
The cuts made, are specifically across the white stringy areas, because they will often curl up a LOT when being cooked.
One I'd be interested in is the Soba noodles from My Hero Academia. Shoto always says he prefers his cold, while other characters always say they're better hot, so 'd love to hear your thoughts on which is better.
Candy/Chocolates from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Wonka movies please!!!! :D 🍫
Used to play and loved Cooking Mama
Was not expecting the Bread Brigade, but there it was! :)
I once animated a Babish parody (still on my channel) for Tonkatsu a few years back. I’d like to believe I was an inspiration. It’s hecka untrue, but I can dream
Seeing an actual Babish Universe episode about Tonkatsu brings everything full circle for me and that gives me a great happiness
yall ever just save the end parts of the cutlet and save it to the very last bite cuz of its crispiness? cuz i do and i use it for the most perfect bites!
Thanks
Funny seeing this now, I literally just had Tonkatsu yesterday too!
Cooking Mama rules! The original game on the DS and Personal Trainer: Cooking is how I got into culinary arts and cooking in general. :D
Tonkatsu is amazing 😋
Not seeing a playlist for Arcade with Alvin 😢😢😢😢
But Arcade with Alvin idea. The “Pimimtaco” from borderlands 2
You've got to peel the layers of the cabbage off, and shred when each layer is pressed flat into a sheet
I mean, maybe hiring that veteran to gate things that you can't grate 4:10
Funny. I had a deep fried pork cutlet for lunch yesterday. It had been 2 years since I ate that dish. It was so big, I needed two (small)bowls of rice to finish the 2/3s of it. It cost me 9,800 won(roughly 7.50$) but it was worth it.
Oh wow I literally made this last night delish 😋
That looks incredible.
The best trick I've seen for cabbage is to use a deli meat slicer. So yall can make the philly cheese steak episode pay for itself too!
I laughed out loud at the "Turns all your chunky problems into one smooth solution" line
I know this is from the game and I always appreciate making everything from scratch, but to make this recipe more approachable and easy (especially if you are intimidated with deep frying)... do yourself a favor and just buy the Panko Breadcrumbs and the Bulldog sauce, they are both very "authentic" and honestly hard to beat. It's like Heinz Ketchup... you could make your own ketchup but do you really need to?
best dish ever, especially from my fave childhood videogame.
Fresh Breadcrumbs... Salad Shooter or commercial grade equivalent with grater attachment. I'm pretty sure Kitchenaid makes an attachment for a stand mixer that'd make quick work of this task.
Better way might be a mandolin for the cabbage, and freeze the fresh bread to make it easy to grate.
Even Jamie Oliver is salivating with this mouthwatering dish!
Such a great idea ❤ I loved playing cooking mama when I was younger, and I remember making this in the game 😂
You should do something from Sea of Stars for your next Arcade with Alvin.
Cooking mama is responsible for my interest in my higher education of food
Another solid episode!
All that's left to do from Cooking Mama is a Burnt Pie speedrun!
Hey Babish, I’d love to see your take on the New Orleans Po Boy
yo, can we have a papa louie special?? that sounds so bomb
I can only imagine Babish giving a cold stare as Alvin nails Worcestershire.
I was so confused when i saw babish talking in an alvin video, but then i realized it was an ad
I had Katsu Curry at my favorite Japanese restaurant for dinner last night
Yay! A recipe from Cooking Mama! I love this game series. Thank you so much for this video, and I would love to see more Cooking Mama videos if you can!❤
I think the highlighting of the use of fruit is related more to the cost of fruit there than anything, maybe a westerner version should similarly use ingredients that we consider premium and pair well with tonkatsu.
i would love to see alvin make Oden's oden from one piece!
I believe the scoring of the meat in the game is to keep it from curling when frying.
Mmh, can't wait to try this out!
More of these please
