I smashed a burger in my wok (to contain splatter).
It has 4x onions:
- thin sliced and smashed into the patty
- raw under the cheese (this is a good move)
- fried shallots on top
- fried shallot aioli on the buns
It also has pickles.
To make the fried shallot aioli, I make my basic garlic mayo recipe, but blend in a big handful of store-bought fried shallots at the start along with the eggs, then a big dash of fish sauce at the end. It's similar to the Fried Shallot Caesar Salad dressing recipe I wrote for the NYT recently.
Here's my article on smashing burgers: www.seriouseats.com/ultra-sma...

He’s probably relatively sober but there’s a part of me that’s just imagining he’s absolutely SMACKED at 3am going to town on that burger with a GoPro on his dome.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean, weed’s been legal in Washington for a minute now…
Fine, relatively sober.. sober enough to strap up the camera and record and cook w/arguably the wrong pan b/c it was the only one easily at hand or b/c confidence. all things he's done 1000's of times sober. but, that was not a sober late night snack lmao.
midnite munchies lmao
I dunno. The mental rehearsal necessary to get the burger from the pan to the bun tells me he's proper gooned and his hands are just cooking on autopilot
Next episode we're going to see Kenji warming up his coffee in the wok in the morning. This man only ever uses one pan 😂😂
I feel better about using mine for everything now!
I mean, with a piece of kit as versatile as the wok, can you blame him? (Now excuse me as I now try making coffee in a wok)
Look how seasoned it is tho! It's begging to be used
How many pans do you use to make a burger though?
Have you seen his iconic grilled cheese video? He ain’t using a wok in that.
Kenji’s videos satisfy everything I want in cooking content. The stark contrast between his lengthy videos, explaining every minute detail and scientific study, to the “late night” asmr munchies videos. Both styles great for very different reasons. He has inspired so much home cooking for myself as well as a willingness to adventure into new culture’s foods. Truly the king of food TH-cam.
_scientific explanations, personal anecdotes, and philosophical musings_ OR _literally two grunts_
One man has it all.
That little giggle of joy at 3:26 tells you everything you need to know
I think he chuckled because of something the dog did (as in appear whenever food is around which can be funny) and then straight afterwards, the dog appeared on camera and got a treat.
@@lowkeyconvert8971 SHABU!!!
YES TO THE LATE NIGHT SERIES! God this is making me crave a burger at 11pm, the time I’m watching this right now. This video aesthetically pleasing but is also a form of torture at the same time. 🙂
It's TORTURE!!!! GAAAAHHHH
It's like love, huh?
I just paused the video and made some. Literally took me 10 minutes start to finish. Now get in there and make some burgers. Get a beer too for a nice night cap.
Christ do i need to go buy mince now?! I guess the day’s productivity ship has already sailed seeing as I’m on youtube so might as well 🤷♀️
I started to follow Kenji for this tipe of videos, I love them
I live for the late night food
A man of culture, I see
we all do
how late is too late?
@@henrywalters7309 Isn't late subjective? To some a late night is the same time as an early morning. I'd make this at 2-3 am which ever is the case.
@@heruhcanedean ok, ok we get it nerd.
As an onion enthusiast, I approve
Eyyyy Sudano in the wild!
He don’t need your approval though
Not only onion as we can tell
IS THIS THE JON SUDANO!?!?
@@bluepajamagamers5704 unnecessarily rude comment
The chuckle over how insanely delicious something so quick and easy can be, whipped up right in you’re own kitchen is a phenomenal feeling.
Yeah. I learned that when drunk, food doesnt have to take hours. Grilled scrambled egg burritos are a snap and so much better than ungrilled.
This cat opens his beverage before going for the pickles to avoid pickle contamination. Legend.
🤨 could you please explain that
@@Bblue01 if he opened the pickles and handled them before touching his drink, he would be getting pickle contaminates on his drink lol. He opened it prior
To handling pickles 👍🏽
Glad to see you back at the Go-Pro late night cooking! Missed these lots. Also been enjoying the collabs I've been seeing! Hope things are well and hang in there!
I was just thinking "I wonder when Kenji's gonna have time to make another video on his channel?" You've clearly been putting a lot of time into promoting the book. Great to see you back here!
the late night vids are always so good. the definition of "does exactly what it says on the tin". what the kids call immaculate vibes
also anyone enjoying this channel needs to buy Kenji's book The Wok. it's absolutely packed with knowledge while still being fun to read. probably one of the best cookbooks i've ever read, you will not regret it i promise
Lord have mercy that is a snack and a half. Well done Kenji.
I just made a snakc 60 minutes ago and it was just sourdough and lunchmeat. Damn.
@@GlennTillema still respectable
Onions under the cheese... I never would have thought of that despite being so simple. Looks great!
Is that how White Castle has been doing it since the 1920s?
Right! I think in another video he mentioned it's so the melted cheese keeps the onions in place on the burger :)
@@shadyshinichi2JZ Yes- so the steam released from the cooking onions melt the cheese, also why their patties have holes to allow steam to travel through and hit more cheese to melt
Check out the Oklahoma onion burger that George Motz makes
@@fudgenuggett I'm quite sure everyone already has.
Love giggle at the end because of how good it is 😂
The late night series got me through a rough period when quarantine started... Always love to see these
Hope you're better off now then you were back then, bro. cheers!
So glad the late night series is back
One of the best food series in TH-cam by far!
The 'late night' videos are always so satisfying! I can almost feel you day unwinding as you cook
Kenji would arguably be way more successful on TH-cam if he almost exclusively made these late night munchie videos, but he loves sharing cooking so much that he puts the effort into making the most informative content out there!
Another late night video we’re truly blessed
Being a dad as well, I always imagine Kenji’s kids walking in late at night and seeing dad with a Go Pro on his head cooking and being like “well, I’ll pee later” lmao
This series is what got me hooked on Kenji! Please do more!
Back to the late night series! These were some of the videos that seriously got me into cooking. Love it 👍
You should make a "Late Night Series", no talking, just pure ASMR cooking.
You're in luck, this video is part of exactly that, he has a playlist on his channel!
Now that we have 50 videos in this series, you should consider making it a series!

I am a simple man, if Kenji uploads at 1am I wake up and watch it
Yeah, I'm not doing anything else!
Love the little chuckle after he takes a bite. Looks amazing.
i forgot how much i missed these late night videos. great as always!
My man just did a smash burger in a wok. I hope this is in the book
It is.
What brand of Wok is that? Do y’all know?
@@moses7313 Not sure. Kenji recommended The Wok Shop in his book. I'm incredibly happy with mine. It was only like $50 and really high quality.
@@moses7313 If it is the same one he has had for a long time, I believe he stated he got it at Target years and years ago.
@@moses7313 Don't hold me to it, but it might be like some kind of Joyce Chen wok from Target he got 20+ years ago. He definitely said it was from Target, but not exact on the brand. Point being.. there's no need to get some artisanal wok to make good food.
When I read quadruple burger, I originally thought it was going to be 4 patties rather than 4 types of onions. This looks amazing, I need to make it this weekend.
I thought the same thing. I try not to eat before bed and it almost gave me a stroke thinking about it. lol
yeah, I think we might be witnessing the return of fat Kenji.
Half the things I know about cooking, I learned these past two years watching Kenji. Love the content, love the methodologies, love the man.
I missed this quick short videos, Kenji! Ther're great for quick cooking ideas, hope we can get to see more coming!
I love how he’s using his wok for a smash burger
Heavy smoke coming off that wok might set off smoke alarms. Anybody have any suggestions to keep the smoke down on indoor high heat searing? Cast iron has the same problem with heavy smoking.
@@DJ-nn6vg plastic bag around your smoke alarm, or open all windows/doors
@@DJ-nn6vg if it’s heavy smoking, it could simply be too hot. I just made some cast iron smash burgers last night, with minimal smoke! Also, if not already doing so, wait until right before you cook to add the oil to minimize the smoking.
@@DJ-nn6vg Have a vent hood that vents outside, sometimes even then having doors/windows open and/or a plastic bag rubberbanded around the smoke detector (or a shower cap can also work)
@@donf3058 You just gave me another way to use my shower cap bowl covers. I have some small ones perfect for this. Thanks!
Do you ever have trouble keeping track of all the food in your fridge?
How often do you have to throw stuff out?
I was thinking the same
On his Instagram feed, he regularly posts photos of the glorious things he makes from leftovers. I get the feeling that having to throw things out is not an issue.
Or it goes into his compost, as does mine.
I love these late night videos. Just a man with a craving and a GoPro. Pure inspirational gold
Finally! The late night videos are back! I love commentary and I also enjoy these where you let the techniques do the talkin'.
I love this video, I love how direct the recipes in the description are, and I LOVE YOUR NAILS
Actual depiction of a person living their best life! 🍔
I miss this format! I cooked some of my (your) best recipes with these videos. Just made smash burgers tonight. No dialogue. Just culinary bliss. Love the Stoup too. Thanks for everything.
Amo esta serie de videos, eres una gran inspiración para mi Kenji! Gracias a tus artículos y vídeos me adentre al mundo de la cocina hace unos años
Love it. It is so relaxing. PS love your nail polish. 😊
I always try to explain to people that you can make everything in a wok. Kenji is much better at explaining than me: show, don't tell. Thanks, Kenji
As long as you have a gas range. THis is much more difficult on electric.
Thank you for the Late Night series. Comforting and inspiring!
I've learned a million things from your in-depth cooking videos, Kenji. But these will always be my favorite!
I’m sitting here eating some leftover dan dan noodles from The Wok, late night, watching Kenji make a late night burger. This timeline is strange.
Carry on.
Sounds like a relatively normal occurrence.
I love that the late night videos drop late night lol! Much love Kenji!
Edit: If anyone didn’t already know you’re Asian, you gave it away within the first couple seconds 😂 love it brother!
I love your late night videos. No talking, no recipes, nothing, just you cooking, drinking and enjoying.
Both Kenji and Babish returned to their roots with a completely regular video like they used to make before. And I am ABSOLUTELY here for it. Late night series reason I joined the channel, and I'm loving it, it's so good.
These got me through the pandemic when they started just before that even. You know the man is hungry late cooking a smash burger on the wok!
More 4x ingredients please! I've always wondered about a 4x onion recipe with pickled red onions, caramelized onions, roasted onions, and onions blended into whatever. It's kinda like the Tasty series on how they used 10 pounds of ____ (garlic, mushrooms, potatoes, etc)
The excitement every time there’s a new Kenji Upload 🙌🏻
This is one of my favorite quarantine memories. These late night videos.
That little giggle when you were eating. I know that feeling after a good late night meal! lol.
Smash burgers are underrated. The crispy patties are vastly superior to the big wet juicy patties
Literally everywhere does smash burgers what
I started following you thanks to your late night snack series a couple years back! Glad to see it coming back haha
I found to your channel through these late night videos. I almost forgot how good they are. Glad they are back now!
How is my man Kenji still looking like a treat while eating so much treats! Envy all around.
he says it's portion control... i swear there's more to it though
Since you’ve been making the rounds promoting your book, does this mean you’re stopping by George Motz’s place to show why a wok is an acceptable cooking vessel for an onion burger?
Oh that little giggle of his around 3:26 was priceless. Drunk, stoned, or bone dry straight, the joy of a snack like that one eaten in the kitchen standing up over the cutting board is recognized and understood by all. Plus it’s inter generational! He certainly has earned that golden moment.
I absolutely love the urgency and intensity the late night videos have. Their meals are almost always the most appealing ones as well!
I think he's trying to get it done and in his belly before the wife wakes up and calls him fat. Don't ask me how I know this :)
Ohhh, now I remember why I’m subscribed to this channel!
That late night chorizo grilled cheese video that has a lot of views 😂
My 1st one was the late night burger in Wursthall
You know, I never once stopped to think that a mandolin would be perfect for getting onion slices.
Be careful, you might end up with finger slices if not.
I hate cleaning it. So, I always just use a knife even though it’s a bit slower.
@@HKim0072 I also don't need that much onion. one little ring is plenty
@@HKim0072 One of those Benriner mandolins takes about 15 seconds to clean.
@@fordhouse8b One scarred me and now scares me. A sharp knife is my go to.
Love the late night videos, gotta bring them back more!!!
These late night cooking videos are honestly what I look forward to in life
What can’t Kenji cook in a wok?!
Espresso.
@@caffeinepuppy i’m really worried he can
ngl, you had me at "quadruple onion"
you're getting pretty good at this whole content-creation thing
EDIT: also, that electric blue nail polish is fire
@@Koji-888 They look good.
This is sort of the simplified version of Kenji’s own take on Oklahoma onion burgers that are, no lie, the #1 family request around here. An absolutely legendary, indescribably delicious burger. Only real difference is steaming the buns over the flipped burger and onions, and wow is that delicious!
すごい! This looks soooo good. Will try it- thank you Kenji!
What’s with the painted nails?
how un-progressive of you
He wanted them to be painted and so they were painted. What of it?
@@Criiies that's more like it.
Nice gay finger nails 👍
Not very tolerant of you...
@@sovl2178 it was a compliment
Kenji is straight. Straight men can paint their nails. Does that offend you?
The late night baked Kenji videos are always my favorite
ever so satisfying is the return of "kenji cooks something delicous late night and enjoys with a beer". Great stuff!
What's with the fingernails? It was distracting.
what are you, a 4 year old?
@@blueciffer1653 4 and a half. Go dye your hair blue, weirdo
His fingernails are painted. Does that upset you?
@@Criiies it clearly upsets you that people aren't proud of it and accept stupid shit. Go back to protesting abortion and explaining what a woman is.
Just when I was looking for a smash burger recipe Kenji delivers, the beast
You rock, man
This series will always be my favorite
Glad to see the return of the late night cooking. Missed these videos.
I've been missing the late night videos! So glad it's back
Im in love! Looks amazing!
That laugh at 03:25 tells me this was a damn good burger
Something about format that is so addictive. I dont even eat meat, yet here I am watching this totally enthralled.
Love the late night videos, brings me back to getting home after a bar shift
YESSS THE BEST SERIES ON TH-cam IS BACK
It's 3:28 on a Monday morning, and I'm about to go ask my neighbor/best friend for burger buns. These videos ALWAYS give me craving man.
I'm so happy I sub to your channel. This is right up my alley. Only difference is I need to use my wok more, it makes complete sense in how it cooks.
I like a lot of the burger stuff and sandwich stuff you put out, especially burgers too, and it looks great. I also like that you film with a camera on your head, it's not something many people do, but it looks cool and puts us right in the kitchen and over the preparing of the food.
so easy and so simple to make, i love smash burgers so much
I guess you can’t make everyone happy but o prefer when you’re talking because you know so much facts and science behind cooking. Love your channel bro
Ahhhh, this is my therapy. Love you Kenji!
Glad you uploaded another late night vid. That's what I first started watching on your channel.
happiest man ever, thank you for showing the way.
Looks good thanks for the description in the comments. I couldn’t figure out what all the condiments were without it.
most raw and authentic cooking series on youtube, ever.
Getting crazy quarantine vibes! Binged kenji during those times. Recreated many dishes as well.
Love these style of videos 🙌🏻
The best of the best. Late night series for the win!
Been waiting for another late night cooking video!😍
Please never stop the late night series!
these videos make cooking feel so much more approachable
back to the roots, Kenji! Love it!!!!
Quadruple onion and pickle smash burger. This is speaking directly to the heart for me
