    I can seriously hear this in an Uncle Roger video:
    "... Uncle Roger now emotional support animal for animate Elf girl - this acceptable."
    I literally talked with my best friend who went through a culinary course about these reactions, and his response was "Jamie Oliver isn't a chef - he's a troll with cooking credentials. I'm a better cook, and I dropped out of culinary school."

    For anyone who might not know - washing your rice isn't so much about cleanliness; it's about texture. Rinsing your rice removes excess starch, which helps the cooked grains separate easier - especially important for fried rice! (Which should ideally be at least a day old, anyway.)

    • @WookieWarriorz

      but its pointless with british rice because its not really covered in starch like rice from mills that they tend to use tradationally in asia. Uncle roger is a british dude putting on an accent, this is all food snobbery.

    Here in Japan, chicken thighs cost more than chicken breast, ‘cause thighs taste better and are more popular. Chicken breast is mostly considered dieting food.

    • @AliceBunny05
      @AliceBunny05 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +26

      it's the other way around because they're also considered "health food" in the US lol. instead of making healthier food more accessible for our very unhealthy and overweight country, most of the time they just jack the prices up for stuff that people consider "health food" to make it a commodity. it dosen't happen with everything (grains and legumes like lentils, beans, and rice are always a good price and vegetables are usually fair as well) but things like lean chicken, oily fish like salmon and mackerel, granola, yogurt, etc are often more expensive than what is reasonable.

    • @SocietyTomorrow
      @SocietyTomorrow 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +11

      ​@@AliceBunny05 There's another reason for the difference. American mass produced chicken uses a highly specific breeding line that grows so big and so fast that they would actually break their legs if not harvested on time. If you look at the typical size of chickens sold in the USA vs Japan, there's a nearly 3x size difference, with the breasts being most of the weight.
      Downside to these birds that grow so big so fast is that they barely develop any fat or flavor (mass market thigh is what most of the chicken SHOULD taste like just with more fat), which is why foodies like to raise their own in the US with heritage breeds that actually taste like it should. The thighs would cost more if Americans prioritized flavor over volume, and marketing wasn't so effective at making chicken breast so popular.

    How to cooked Thai green curry
    1.Go to supermarket or convenience store and buy a Green curry paste.
    2.Buy protein and ingredient same the place you bought a green curry paste.
    3.Back to your home and open the kitchen windows then start cooking.
    4.When finished your meal and you don't like a taste then change a green curry paste brand.
    5. Important! Don't make a paste by your self its waste your time.
    6. Green Curry paste it's super cheap that make your life easier and avoid some argument with your angry family when they hungry. (Don't mess with hungry people they can kill somebody)
    7. Thai cuisine it's easy to cook but you can't replace some ingredient with a related ingredient except a protein that make your dishes go to far from a taste you looking for.
    As a Thai I'm not mad with Jamie's recipe but if he is a Thai and make this dish we need to talk with fists.

    My family has a rice cooker, but I prefer to cook in a saucepan out of habit. That’s it. Habit. He’s using so much water and rinsing BECAUSS he isn’t washing. The extra starch and crap causes it to stick. You’ve got to watch it constantly in a pan so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Also, our rice cooker isn’t large enough for 7 people in the house xD Brit here. I thankfully grew up before he poisoned our school menus (at least in my Catholic school)

      Of course it would be. The rotisserie batch was already deemed close to expiring so they would actually lose money making the cooked one cost equal to or more than the whole raw ones that are still good in the fridge.

    My dad was the main cook in my family and as soon as any of us started cooking he hammered it into our brains that you neverrrr use metal on non stick. Anytime we pulled out the non stick, he'd hand us a plastic/silicone spatula/spoon. I'm from the US, my moms side is the type to think salt and pepper are spicy, my dad's side is also white but more adventurous at least and dabble in actual spices and love traveling and trying new things. Coming from the midwest and knowing how restaurants probably water down flavors to cater to our typically bland palettes... it sucks sometimes because I want new flavors, try things from other parts of the world without having to spend the money I dont have to go there. Obviously there are a few good authentic places here and there, but nothing like if I were in say NY or CA

    YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE BUTTER CHICKEN ALICIA

  • @Sylinnilys
    @Sylinnilys 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I will say this. There was a step you could add, taking out the chili seeds and grinding them separately(mortar and pestle), then adding them back in. Alternatively? just chill/freeze your chili, makes crushing them in the pestle a lot easier and they keep their color better.
    *On coriander, they use the roots washed well, If you can't get enough of the root, can use a little of the stem (NO LEAF) too much of the stem can actually throw the flavor. Coriander roots are patted dry then crushed with pestle. They have an earthy lightly citrus note. Which complements with kaffir lime leaf and galangal. Honestly, when Jamie says "tropical" I think he was reading off a teleprompter, Without the chili component, the other primary ingredients in the green chili paste do taste "tropical/citrusy(aromatics)" It is just a vapid statement though. 1)He didn't use galangal, nor did he fry it off. 2)he didn't use coriander root, nor fry it off. 3)He didn't fry off the kaffir lime leaves. So... he stewed his food processor "paste" Considering how much flavor is developed in the crushing friction (galangal is so hard you practically need it to be crushed for it to be cooked properly) none of those flavors could be right. After the paste is made, it is either used fresh or stored for later use, once it is to be used, it is fried off/sauteed in coconut milk, some people reduce the milk, some add coconut cream, some cook the milk until the lipids split. regardless. You rely on the coconut fats to extract and develop flavor. The paste cooks completely before it is served, anything less is awful or wasteful. If your curry doesn't taste amazing, either the paste wasn't made properly, or the person cooking it did not love the food enough to take a few minutes to cook it properly.
    Some people would tell you what you can and cannot use the paste/curry with. So long as you don't tag "traditional" onto it, use it with whatever you want. Amazing food should be enjoyed. For example, you can marinate tofu in paste overnight then fry it off and serve on rice, it will be good even if it is not the most traditional.

    Okay, I have to say this as a definitely very white person who isn't used to "proper" spicy: Leaving the seeds in with chilis is too hot for a LOT of white people. Heck it's probably too hot for 95% of my country. I could maybe handle it, as I do like spiciness myself, but it would be at the upper end of my tolerance. That's how white (and european) I am. :P And how little tolerance white people have for proper spiciness. So Jamie being from the UK, I can understand that he recommends taking the seeds out of the chilis.
    As for the "it's not common sense to not use a metal spoon in a non-stick pan" comment: Really...? REALLY?! That's not common sense?! Damn, basic cooking skills really aren't part of Gen-Z and up's repertoire anymore, are they... "Don't use metal in non-stick pans" was the VERY FIRST thing I learned about cooking from my mom, and I'm a millennial!
    Lastly, my mom has some Jamie Oliver cookbooks, and she seems to like his recipes. But the more I see from him, the less I appreciate him. (not even like him) In fact, at this point I'd say I dislike him. It's like yea...he's a cook. But there's absolutely no passion AT ALL. No learning the basics, no learning how to properly make dishes before experimenting, no nothing. Just his own...mish-mash of barely relevant ingredients thrown together, and then calling it "X dish, Jamie Oliver style". Even though his crimes against cooking don't resemble the dishes they were supposedly based on at all anymore.

      What's funny is that the seeds aren't that spicy. The Capsaicin is actually located within the whitish pithy pepper innards.

One cup of rice per person and one extra in case someone is really hungry. Water until it's about 2 centimeters (4/5 of an inch) above the rice, confirm with the finger measure if needed. Taste the water to make sure it doesn't have too much or too little salt. Don't forget to sing, rice cooks better when you sing to it.
    Leftover rice shall be kept in the fridge for a day or two, then mixed with savory cake dough, made into little balls and deep-fried for a delicious afternoon snack. Serve with coffee, black with sugar.
