Coming from a dietitian 🥰 Vegetable oil is actually not bad for you! Some vegetable oils are worse than others so you have to differentiate. Like sunflower oil isn't great because it contains more of the "unhealthy" fats but I wouldn't choose avocado oil either because of it's bad for the environmental even though it contains healthy fats.. ideally you would use olive oil for salads or steaming veggies and rape seed oil for frying stuff 🤗
I don't know how up to date you are on the latest research but vegetable oil and especially seed oils are terrible for you! Coconut oil, avocado oil, grassfed butter, and olive oil are best. Rape seed oil tastes terrible too IMO.
@@BeccaBender37 its a crazy name for english speakers, but rape seed oil come from rapeseed is actually a flower! the oil is made from the seeds of the plant :)
Most rapeseed or canola oil found on supermarket shelves is genetically modified. Generally speaking, I think most nutritionists would agree that avoiding GM foods altogether is best. Olive oil (particularly Greek or Italian) all the way for my family.
you should get separate cutting boards for different foods, especially a different one for meats! I bet you can find a cute one to match the checkerboard one
Yeah, I was thinking this too. Especially for cutting raw meat or fish, it’d be better to have a separate one, made of plastic or bamboo, which are less porous
I loved how wholesome this episode was. This literally resembles my life because I still ask my parents how to make things as a 26 year old old 😂. And the way you mix in English when you’re talking to your dad is how I talk to them too but in Spanglish.
For the salmon, I recommend baking it!! it's super easy, and you can let it bake while you cook the other sides so that it doesn't take so long and nothing gets cold!! I usually use lemon juice, olive oil and blackened seasoning!!
That looked so good! Maybe I missed it but did you use any seasonings on there (besides oil and salt)? Once you build up your seasoning collection, that really takes cooking to the next level. I love seasoning blends especially because they make it really easy. Other staple seasonings to have on hand are garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Great job! Moving forward I recommend getting a plastic cutting board specifically for raw meat. Not sure of the order with editing but always prep veggies on the cutting board before raw meat (or use a separate board) to avoid cross contamination. Plastic cutting boards can also go in the dishwasher while wood boards shouldn't so clean up is easier. Food safety!
Jen I highly recommend cooking with avocado oil because the burning point is wayyy higher than most oils so it is much harder to accidentally burn. However, make sure you aren’t cooking for anyone with a latex allergy bc there’s natural latex in avocados. Buttttt otherwise it is def the best oil to cook with
You did really good for making a meal on your own for the first time.❤ Just know that there will be many more mistakes to learn from when you cook, but keep going! Your amazing!
jen LITERALLY your videos feel like coming home - i watched this one after a tough exam at school, then a long evening shift at work, and i collapsed on the couch with dinner and i’m like “oh my gosh jen posted again!!” your videos are so real and so utterly, rawly you. the perfect mix of chaotic and aesthetic and realistic. i ADORE you like you don’t even get it at this point!! absolute queen - keep doing what you do and keep slaying. ALSO YOUR PARENTS ARE SO CUTE IM OBSESSED 😫❤️
It's really wholesome to see you with your family, like the fact that you made your first meal for your dad in your house and your mom showing you how to shop groceries and i know she used to want not to be seen in the videos...
It's amazing to see you and your dad together, the way he's always there to help and support you is 😭😭😭😭😭 I remember a video where you said something like "and of course my dad is here, we're a duo, you can't have one without the other" and I thought it was soooo cute!!! I don't really have a good relationship with my dad, we're not that close, so seeing you two together makes my heart warm ❤ lots of love from Brazil (sorry bout my english, It's not that good)
Okay because I love y’all so much imma share Mumma’s secret recipe to a good base for a lunch that can be meal prepped. 1. Preheat oven to 350 conv roast 2. Scrub potatoes peel carrots 3. Chop in quarters (I like mine bite sized so real tiny) 4. Put parchment paper in baking pan 5. Place chopped potatoes and carrots on parchment paper 6. Pour in a glug of olive oil (or avocado oil) 7. Stir all together 8. Sprinkle with all the herbs you can find (I like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chilli powder, Italian seasoning, and a little bit of pepper and salt. But I’m also extra). 9. Add corn if you feel craycray (I really like it) 10. Roast in oven for at least 1 hour just keep and eye on everything sometimes around the 30 minute mark I’ll give everything a good mix Also if you really wanna spice things up for all my Canadian babes. Safeway has this garlic butter that is to die for. And I’ll talk about 3 tbs of that and smear it in, which is so good. The best part of this recipe is you can add whatever you like to it. Mushrooms, peppers onions you can add meat. It’s so easy to make and you can make a huge batch then save it, it re heats amazingly in the microwave. 💛💛💛💛💛
hear me out, but I think this si the most wholesome JENerationDIY video. Learing to cook from your parents. them taking you grocery shopping. them helping you not just live and enjoy your culture but really learn it too, so that you can pass it down to your kids (if that's in your future). It just really really beautiful to see such loving parents and your love for them as well. :)
If you don’t have a crockpot I highly recommend you get one for days you don’t have time to cook in the evening. You can put things in early on in the day on a low heat and by dinner time they’re done! I’m from the Midwest US so we do a lot of meat and potatoes here, so my go to is a chuck roast in the AM with some broth (or bullion cubes and water) with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Then around 2 hrs before eating you can throw in some red potatoes, I cut them into 1/4s. Then you can add some baby carrots about an hr before eating. You can cut everything in the am, leave the roast alone almost all day and add the potatoes and carrots pretty quickly. If I do have time before dinner, instead of red potatoes I’ll sometimes do russet potatoes, peeled and cut, then boiled, I drain them and then make mashed potatoes with a hand mixer (more whipped texture and very smooth). And if you have time in the evening asparagus is quick to throw in the oven while everything finishes up, I usually just put the same seasonings that I put on the meat! I usually start the roast around 7-9am, then eat around 6, but it varies. The low heat will prevent it from overcooking, and the liquid helps. I also will make soups and stuff in the crockpot, but the roasts are fairly easy and low effort for a good meal!
I hope you document more of your cooking journey! One tip is to not be afraid of seasoning! That salmon would’ve been even better if you put some soy sauce and whatever seasoning you like in a little marinade (garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, some chili flakes if you like spicy, a little brown sugar if you wanna get a sweeter flavor or even marinade in just premade teriyaki or whatever you’re feeling and sounds like it would be good together) you can put the salmon in a ziploc bag and then put the marinade in and let the flavor soak in to the salmon for as long as you have (at least 20-30 mins is good but you can do a few hours if you have the time to get extra flavor) and then you can just dump it all in and you can even cook down the marinade and make a sauce. If you want a richer flavor you can add a little butter off the heat and let it melt into the sauce while stirring and you’ll have a really nice thick and rich sauce. I recommend following a recipe at first to get especially timing down and stuff but you can always go off script for seasoning and play around! With repetition and practice I know you’ll get it down and you’ll be able to enjoy it a lot more once you get more familiar with your appliances and cooking utensils and stuff. I’m so happy for you starting this journey!
hey Jen, rly glad to see u adulting like that! jfyi oranges shouldnt be stored in the fridge but in romm temperature so they last longer and i would recommend to get the veggies out of the plastic bag b4 u put them in the fridge so they can last longer too. or u can use reusable grocery bags! i personnally made mine from old thrifted curtains, it's a rly easy diy;) also i was wondering if u compost cuz i know there is a system for urban composting in Vancouver?💚
Ahhh I really like this cooking show and it still fits in with the theme of jenerationdiy. I hope you do more of these simple, healthy homecooking vids.
I learn being an adult is to make things easier for yourself. 1. Cut your time in half to cook the air fryer and use less oil in your cooking. There are certain types of cooking oils have high saturated fat contents. 2. Tiktok/ Pininterst. There are so many different recipes you can try to cook meals less than 30 mins. 3. Meal prep. Prepare the meals ahead of time if you have a busy schedule in the week. This will help you avoid snacking late at night and lean toward a healthy lifestyle and maintain weight. 4. Build a budget around grocery shopping. It is tempting to go out to eat but it adds up quick!! This is the stuff I didn't learn until I am in my early thirties! 😢 I hope this helps , Jen. I am so proud of you! Keep it up with the vlogs! Can't wait for a new one and have fun cooking types of foods!
As someone likes home cooking but hates actually cooking: get an instant pot! It’s a little expensive and has a bit of a learning curve but I’m able to get near perfect rice in 10 min. along with so many other things!
grapeseed oil isnt bad and has a higher smoke point than some others. and take your fruits and veggies out of the plastic bags or theyll ripen/rot faster. and ramune is awesome and there is yakult in my fridge as we speak
I could watch you literally all day and I’m so happy I’ve been watching you for so long because I see parts of myself in u and I hope I’m like you as an adult still very funny and ofc many amazing rough starts and mistakes along the way!❤
make sure you get iodized salt or check that your cooking salt is iodized! it’s good for your thyroid and girlies have a higher risk of thyroid problems, and unless you eat salmon more often (realistically it’s going to suck to cook every night starting off if you’re used to take out) you may not get it in your diet (which is why salt is iodized in the first place)
loved watching you grocery shop for the first time but since there is a lot of plastic waste with the vegetable bags maybe you could make a video to diy some reusable bags for those types of things! maybe with crochet or something 💛💛
Did you ever try roasted broccoli? It's delicious. Cut up the broccoli and toss with olive oil, S &P and fresh garlic. Put on a cookie sheet and roast at 400 for 20-30 minutes. You'll love it .
Hey Jen! Luv seeing u adulting but I just wanna share a tip with that my dad has taught me. You should cut your raw meat last so your don’t use the same knife and same cutting board for vegetables and other things! But I’m sure it’s fine tho! Just make sure to wash you knife and board throughly! ❤
I actually loved this video because I can relate to it so much 😭😭😭😭 It makes me so overwhelmed just thinking about what I could cook because there are many options and seasonings, salads and meats and I don't know anything about that
I want to preface my advice by saying listen to your parents’ advice about rice first and foremost! But I also want to recommend a channel called Tokyo Kitchen, specifically the video about “3 tips to cook Japanese rice”. It involves letting the rice sit after having rinsed it, and using specific time measurements after the fact…. I can’t go back to my prior ways of cooking sushi rice. It is absolutely perfect!
hi jen!! I would like to suggest you try cutting hard veggies like broccoli using more of the bottom half of the knife near your hand. you'll have more control and are less likely to stress out your wrists, which we all have problems with in this computer age.
I think I was smiling thro the whole video idk why lol. Would love to see more cooking videos, you looked so domestic ! 😭 Let’s pause for some Jen dad appreciation
I love your relationship with your parents and can only hope one day I have such an amazing bond with my own... I'm also pretty cool with them being youtube millionaires and taking care of me 😊
I love you and your videos so much thank you so much for posting consistently for us! I appreciate your work so much and I'm so entertained and happy watching your vids
I came here thinking I was being unproductive for not studying and then your mom speaks mandarin so subconsciously now I’m studying mandarin ahaha yay! Win win! Also your mom seems so nice
Good work Jen, getting a rice cooker might be a good idea especially as you learn, it takes one thing out of the picture while you cook, just load the rice up and let it do its thing while you cook the rest :)
vegetable oil is not bad for you, and other oils are also not all better than vegetable oil. it's perfectly safe to cook with vegetable oil, which I think is also some of the cheapest options? like sunflower oil is a very good option, and canola oil is just a good regular oil edit: avocado oil does have a very high smoking point so if you're cooking with high heat or frying stuff, it's good for that!
Your dad is such a nice and positive human being 🥺

Ooh, I might try that recipe. How much soy sauce should be used for one fillet? I am worried it might get too salty if I let it soak for 30 min.
It’s so nice to see you enjoying the kitchen you worked hard for! Can’t wait to do that myself soon. 🥰 You’re an inspiration 🌈
hey Jen, rly glad to see u adulting like that! jfyi oranges shouldnt be stored in the fridge but in romm temperature so they last longer and i would recommend to get the veggies out of the plastic bag b4 u put them in the fridge so they can last longer too. or u can use reusable grocery bags! i personnally made mine from old thrifted curtains, it's a rly easy diy;)

You should get the oil splatter cover thingy for when frying, it will help!
make sure you get iodized salt or check that your cooking salt is iodized! it’s good for your thyroid and girlies have a higher risk of thyroid problems, and unless you eat salmon more often (realistically it’s going to suck to cook every night starting off if you’re used to take out) you may not get it in your diet (which is why salt is iodized in the first place)
Hahaha the whole gym bro thing had me in tears, I’ve been through the exact same who am I but it’s actually hilarious
This was so wholesome
loved watching you grocery shop for the first time but since there is a lot of plastic waste with the vegetable bags maybe you could make a video to diy some reusable bags for those types of things! maybe with crochet or something 💛💛

Your mum’s voice is so soothing 🥺
So wholesome to see you cook for your parents!!! & girl you need some garlic in your veggie stir fry *essential* in Asian cooking
I love seeing your parents!!! ❤ so sweet
so happy to see ur dad here too!!! ur videos make my day :(( !!!!
Honestly jen did an amazing job at it.
the whole vid is so wholesome and cute 🥰
petition to have more vids of cooking jen (and papa zhang) !!
I want to preface my advice by saying listen to your parents’ advice about rice first and foremost!
But I also want to recommend a channel called Tokyo Kitchen, specifically the video about “3 tips to cook Japanese rice”. It involves letting the rice sit after having rinsed it, and using specific time measurements after the fact…. I can’t go back to my prior ways of cooking sushi rice. It is absolutely perfect!
hi jen!! I would like to suggest you try cutting hard veggies like broccoli using more of the bottom half of the knife near your hand. you'll have more control and are less likely to stress out your wrists, which we all have problems with in this computer age.
This was so wholesome, I’m crying 🥲
Just what I needed to watch😋
Your dad is amazing. Do it all kinda man
I love listening to you and your dad speak chinese 🫶
I think I was smiling thro the whole video idk why lol. Would love to see more cooking videos, you looked so domestic ! 😭
Let’s pause for some Jen dad appreciation
I'm proud of you for actually using your expensive cutting board
YAKULT CHILDRENNN!!! proud moments 🙋🏻♀️
I love your relationship with your parents and can only hope one day I have such an amazing bond with my own... I'm also pretty cool with them being youtube millionaires and taking care of me 😊
I love you and your videos so much thank you so much for posting consistently for us! I appreciate your work so much and I'm so entertained and happy watching your vids
for my salmon i usually use olive oil, paprika and salt. nothing too fancy, but still very delicious! looked really good congrats girl
I came here thinking I was being unproductive for not studying and then your mom speaks mandarin so subconsciously now I’m studying mandarin ahaha yay! Win win! Also your mom seems so nice
Good work Jen, getting a rice cooker might be a good idea especially as you learn, it takes one thing out of the picture while you cook, just load the rice up and let it do its thing while you cook the rest :)
i loove cooking asian food ❤
you literally my comfort person😭🫶🏾
Omg illyyy
Oh my word, i have been waiting for this. ❤
Your cooking skills 10 out of 10
what a wholesome vloggg haha :') thanks for inspiring us Jen
That looks so GOOD!! Also 'aaron and claire' is a great channel on TH-cam for quick and easy Asian food tutorials btw
i look forward to these vids every week!!
your dad is so cool
Aww how exciting!
loved it
Jen is all wifed up 😂😂😂😂
vegetable oil is not bad for you, and other oils are also not all better than vegetable oil. it's perfectly safe to cook with vegetable oil, which I think is also some of the cheapest options? like sunflower oil is a very good option, and canola oil is just a good regular oil
edit: avocado oil does have a very high smoking point so if you're cooking with high heat or frying stuff, it's good for that!
Hear me out 9:40 best “sauce” for salmon is garlic, honey, soy sauce, a bit of butter on top and put it in the oven. Thank me later
If you're going to put honey on avocado toast, you owe it to get some hot honey. So good!
Jen omg I love your white cardigan with the frilly wrist part AND the white top u wore with it 🫶🫶🫶 where are they from ? pls let yo girl know !!!!
Your mom's voice is so lovely and kind. Reminds me of my mom's when I ask her 100000 questions about adulting😂
The way the salmon was sitting on the plate upside down lol
My day has been made😭😭😭😭😭😭
Your mom has a great voice, she could be a voice actor
