It can be argued that both are the same destination, reducing unnecessary killing by either not using them altogether, or maximize what you can do with the least amount of animal
why do I feel like the level 2 chef deserves her cooking show? her voice is so calm and soothing and makes me want to watch a whole hour of just cooking stuff.
Well it kinda has to be live because lobsters/crabs start decomposing really fast and can be harmful or even deadly when the chemicals that start the decomposition process are released.
The ones who cant separate an egg arent "chefs", these level 1 and 2 people are amateur "chefs" or "cooks" im pretty sure most home cooks can cook at their level
@@ErikBrabantsPianist Next time you order it (Especially if the restaurant is owned or managed by a Filipino) Lumpia is the other name of spring roll 😁
John is soooooo close to breaking through to Level 2 here!!! Natasha is so enthusiastic about her favorite, lol. King - where can I come to try those??? THEY LOOK AMAZING!!!
Nowhere in video was it mentioned that it's vegetarian spring rolls so chill out. He didn't kill dogs and cats for making that lobsters and crabs are used for cooking alot i dint need to tell that.
@@JohnBainbridge0 those are the two chefs telling about their own spring rolls being vegetarian and not about the whole video being about vegetarian spring rolls. Nowhere was it mentioned that it's vegetarian spring roll that three different levels of chefs are gonna make so i dont think that people should have so much to talk about that professional chef choosing a non vegetarian spring roll.
I have a Philipina friend who taught me how to make spring rolls exactly like the level 2 one. They are absolutely delicious and my family eats spring rolls every Christmas now
I am so glad that Ms. Trout is back as the regular food scientist on these. I love her energy and overall presentation tons! She's so enthusiastic and engaging, as many of my favorite college professors were.
Hmm in Indonesia Lumpia was not really highly regarded as such though. We eat them as snack or as breakfast but that's it. I think Lumpia also not all that popular on all parts of Indonesia. On central java though, different story since the capital was really known for their Lumpia.
Ha so true. I like them, but they are not my favorite. My friends on the other hand go nuts for them. They would always ask if my mom would be making them when they are over at my house.
I think these 3 are my favorite combination! You can see Natasha is becoming more comfortable on camera (her having a favorite spring roll was so cute haha), and John and King are always such a joy to watch, their smiles are contagious! (Also happy to see Filipino cooking being shown! Can't wait to see what else King will create, I know he already made Siopao on the dumpling episode!)
Vietnamese hereee. We have different types of rice paper, the one used in this video is not supposed to be fried! The right type of rice paper would be a lot easier to work with (they won’t really stick together) and yield much more photogenic spring rolls! 🥢
It’s not that uncommon, but I suppose the fresh ones are more popular, at least in the States. I actually thought that in English, ‘spring roll’ meant it was deep fried & ‘summer roll’ meant it was fresh
Natasha's are my favorite, they're how my family makes them (except for the meat sub, we use ground pork and sometimes ground shrimp) and a similar sauce (we just add fish sauce)
John way oversoaked the rice paper, that's why his exploded that badly when frying. You can make fried spring rolls with rice paper, it's actually one of the main ways we Vietnamese use. Brush the rice paper with just enough water (or vinegar for extra crunchiness) to soften it, then add the filling, roll and seal with a bit of water (vinegar). In a pan add enough oil to submerge 2/3 of the rolls, when it's ready put the rolls in the pan with some space between each other, flip when the bottom side turns golden. If you're making a big batch to save for later, fry until the sides are a pale yellow and just slightly crispy, drain well on a rack or with paper towels and freeze when it has cooled down.
Made lumpia last night for the new year the fillings are ground chicken, shredded carrots, potatoes, cabbage, mung bean sprout (toge) and spices and flavorings. Lumpia are so good. Even pure toge are great specially when paired with spicy vinegar and soy sauce dipping sauce.
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but lvl1 chef's rice papers arent meant to be fried. It's for summer rolls which are soften with warm water and eaten as is. It does not brown like the egg based wrappers for spring rolls
@@destineyhughes5487 It's actually perfectly fine to fry rice paper wrappers, John just executed it the wrong way so the rice paper turned out to be way too soggy
I want a Rose only series where she explains a bunch of fun food science-y stuff. like an episode where she explains the creaming process when making deserts primarily cakes or cheesecake and how the batter can split if you change the consistency too rapidly. All the seemingly magical things you can do with eggs and then how "flax eggs" work and ways you can use those in cooking to replace eggs. Also, this was a good episode I liked all three cooks and their recipes, seemed balance with interesting foods and technical skills(Rose is consistent MVP)
Level 1 Chef: “Let’s make an amazing roll full of veggies!” Level 2 Chef: “Let’s make some fancy rolls with vegan meat and fancy veggies!” Level 3 Chef: *let’s boil live seafood on camera*
i’m vietnamese and we usually use those rice papers for fresh summer rolls in my family. But in some parts of Vietnam (mostly in the north), people actually use those rice papers that John used to make egg rolls called “nem rán”. the bubbling action helps the egg roll get super crispy ☺️

King talked about Filipino lumpia, he really is an evolved Lorenzo.
So he lost the warm uncle attitude?
off topic but, nice kody pfp
@@homokagiura thanks!
Lorenzo is filipino?
@@春菅原 yes, Lorenzo is Filipino
there should be a show where they give all of the three levels the same ingredients and see what they do with them
They did that already, not exactly what you mean probably but similar.
They have one where level 2 and level 3 chefs switch ingredients and recipes, and see what the other does.
Not quite the same, but also interesting
yessss
Err it’s called Chopped on the FoodNetwork😂😂😂😂
I can get behind that.
Chef 1 & 2 "We're making vegetarian spring rolls."
King "Yeah, so that I can use the rest of the animals in mine."

Nah, King talks about cooking techniques. Rose talks about how it works (complete with scientific terms). Separate expertise but equally important. 😊

King is my second favorite Level 3 chef after Frank. He's so lively and self-aware.
Penny doesn't count, baking is it's own tier list.
As a kid I asked my dad, "what's the difference between spring rolls and summer rolls?"
He said: *"Seasoning"*
bruh
Lol, I like the way you roll with your jokes.
*Bah dum tss*
Lollllllll
Oof
First two chefs: “I’m going to make this vegetarian”
King: uses 4 different types of meat including live seafood
He was just making it up since the other two didn't have any
Came only down to the comments to look for someone else thinking exactly the same. Thx.

The ones who cant separate an egg arent "chefs", these level 1 and 2 people are amateur "chefs" or "cooks" im pretty sure most home cooks can cook at their level
This series requires the amateurs to have a recipe, however basic, but a recipe they've made before. That's usually not how far the noobs get :)

To be fair, fish sauce is bomb.
Frank starts off each episode by blacksmithing his dishes and carving the table, right after finishing constructing the building.
Fish sauce is like a liquified sea salt

Lumpia is the "KING" of Filipino parties, mostly birthday parties.
Hmm in Indonesia Lumpia was not really highly regarded as such though. We eat them as snack or as breakfast but that's it. I think Lumpia also not all that popular on all parts of Indonesia. On central java though, different story since the capital was really known for their Lumpia.

Ha so true. I like them, but they are not my favorite. My friends on the other hand go nuts for them. They would always ask if my mom would be making them when they are over at my house.
Depends on how it's made. I personally prefer the meatier ones for parties and the crunchier veggy ones for snacks
this is one where you can actually really tell the difference in their cooking levels. Awesome Video!
Fun fact: they are the same chefs from last episode
Edit: changed the word time to episode
No way, seriously???
Yeah but cooked something different,you want to use the same title twice?
King: In Tagalog, in Fi-
Filipinos: *Allow us to introduce ourselves*
*a filipino
Other Filipinos- "WE HAVE BEEN SUMMONED"
*A Filipino has appeared*
Now we just need a level 1. Hahaahahaa

@LemonTDS I must say, it's my first time seeing it. Whenever I see a spring roll using rice paper, it wasn't deep fried
It’s not that uncommon, but I suppose the fresh ones are more popular, at least in the States. I actually thought that in English, ‘spring roll’ meant it was deep fried & ‘summer roll’ meant it was fresh
They’re not uncommon lol
Like, he soaked it in water, then fried it... Water and oil don't mix well, that's why they were bubbling and spitting so much.
Could you dry them out in the fridge first before flying?
king's love for food always comes through beautifully. makes me hungry
As a Pinoy, ang mga recipes na ito ay katanggap-tanggap~
