"chopsticks can't beat flour"
My Asian dad from the living room yelled "it beat my children just fine"
Cheesy Ninja lol
Cheesy Ninja omg i can imagine that lmao
😂😂 your dad is awesome!
😂
Lmao
"a level teaspoon of sugar" ~rakes excess into pot~
Lmao.
+Elizabeth Morrison haha
ikr!hahahaha
Lol X-actly
+Elizabeth Morrison the scene that cracks me up the most was when Mike just dumps the spoons back into the salad he was tossing, snorts (was it?) & said, "Come on, Chinese people don't eat salad," & walks away
As an asian, i need to tell you that every time i cook with measurement it fails, therefore i cook with the power of estimation
Same here
So true, some times following the recipe to a tee doesn't match your pallette
that's how my parents do it! Btw I'm chinese along with my entire fam :D
farrel purwoko yep so true
Yes
Westerners: Ugh, rice is SO complicated to cook!
Rice Cooker: *Am I a damn joke to you*
It is bc the instrutions are in Kangis .
Rice is the first thing i knew to cook since the first moment i knew to cook.. 😅
"bUt RiCe CoOkErS aRe So ExPeNsIvE"
Me: *Laughs in $9 rice cooker*
@@joshualim1339 Where did you buy It?
I just use an Instant Pot... It's this amazing multi-purpose appliance with a rice setting, among many others.
Asians so good at math they can measure without utensils
Toni meow 😂
Toni meow ASIAN POWARRRRRRRRRR
Toni meow
You was right.
Toni meow XD
Actually our cooking depends a lot on experiences. You have to do a dish a couple of times to have a hold at it. When I learnt cooking something from my mom, she did tell me how much to put in, but only for reference. For example, for seasoning, I taste the food as I go, and based on experience I know what lacks to adjust, so I don't go strictly to recipe. Or for making soups or sauces or cooking meat and veggies, I know when they're done by checking the texture or consistency, not by counting time. My mom is even more superb, she checks temperature of oil by hovering her hand over the pan and by some miracle she knows when it is hot enough! I'm trying to be able to do that too :3
It's kind of hard to explain but practice makes perfect xD
“A level teaspoon of sugar”
*pushes the excess into the pot*
eh not like they were actually cooking amything
xDD
pink Fungi So they wasted food for this video? Damn it, they could’ve made something good for them to eat.
Well, a little bit extra is fine
I was looking for this comment.
Imagine if they swapped
Western: So put 1/2 cup in
Asian: Like my grandma’s 1/2 cup or my uncle’s 1/2 cup
Western: ....what.
Asian: Add some salt
Western: How much
Asian: some
Western: Like a pinch?
Asian: Just look to the stars, embrace it, and follow your heart
Western: ....so like a pinch?
Asian: some
Lol a pinch
My parents have like 40 different utensils but *Never use them*
DailyArmyTea same except they get the exact same utensils but look different we have three of the same measurement cups
Same! They only use like 3 of them. A large spoon, spatula, and this other thing I forgot the name of. ;-;
Same
SAME BRO!! It's painful...
Army
Anyone else follow a recipe the first couple times you make something, then once you're used to it just start throwing things in?
u got my word man. i do this and funny thing is it tastes better than actually not following the measures for the food but i always follow measurement for desserts haha
i do, I have even started with a recipe and then come up with something completely different, due to improvises and other changes i felt like doing
Me at the start: Am gonna make curry.
In the middle: It tasted like soup. I think soup is fine then.
At the end: What a delicious caramel..!!
***** based on true story. i do feel like a wizard cuz i throw in whatever i found in the kitchen.. XD
me!
did he just spill the leftover sugar into the pot and then put the exact sugar in
yup.
yea i tought im the only one who noticed it.
i know right
Bryan Chen
Saraya V Yes he did. 😂
Finally i find ppl who put their stuff in the oven :")
I keep my pans in my oven.
what's the point of buying an entire giant oven when you can get the counter sized one? Can even keep oranges and apples in there
My Neighbor do it back then
Ha ha ha me too.
@@aquareon2347 we normally buy it for the stoves lol cuz alot of induction stoves take up alottt of current so we tryin to save our money here.and sometimes it comes along with houses soo
When asking my mom how to cook traditional Chinese recipes:
Me: How much of [ingredient]?
Mom: Just a little bit/ Just a pinch/ Just guess
Anxiety fill me every time
That's me !!😆
Same for my abuela from Puerto Rico... I think it really depends on if you learned from your grandparents/family or food network/PBS
My mom does the same thing. Her recipes have ingredients listed with no amount and very short directions.
omg same same! my mum said exactly just like your mum.
As an a person from Asia, we use the power of estimation
Just saying, a lot of people around the world estimate as well. Most people take a pinch of salt, or a squirt of vegetable oil, or just scoop whatever amount of something they want depending on how they feel.
But if you want to be precise and professional, you should measure, especially for something like baking.
Yes we do
And eye power
True or just muscle memory
Haha we use our math skills.
When you relate more to the Asian side but then realise that's because you are Asian.
KillerGamerGirl same lol
KillerGamerGirl you're right
True true
When you relate more to the Western side but then realize that even though you are Asian
When all the likes on the comment above are all asians XD
It's so true in South Asia as well...I feel like estimation is a power of Asian moms..also hitting moving targets with flying sandals. And also what is dessert and salad, have a fruit.
Liza Banik haha true😂
That sound like latin americans, especially the sandals part 😂
Lol true I am south Asian and my family and me live in Europe but my mom still does that.
True, I once asked my mom to make me and my family a salad and she said "what?? Salad?? You don't need salad, eat a fruit"
So true
My asian life
Me long ago: * panicking because i dont know the measurements of cooking*
Me now: * panicking because i ran out of fish/soy sauce*
Me: panicking because i poured too much rice into the cooker
how my grandma cooks: puts random stuff and still taste goo af
Zijin Qin mine too lol
army!
Jimin Is my oppa ayeee
Ayeeeee
Jimin Is my oppa ~ Hey fellow ARMY ;3
omg the MSG part had me in tears lmfaoo
ikr?
pinch ... pinch ... hmmmm.... bigger pinch .... ah just toss all of it in!
it's funny because it's true lol
Literally my mum XD
same lmao
Yeah I caught mine putting lots of it in our food, gonna kill us?
*"C'mon, Chinese people don't eat salad!"*
Me: True..
Asian salad: dip raw vegetable into vinegar or soy sauce, then consume... ( Sometimes we blanch them too...)
There's vegetables in the stir fry we're good ^-^
personally, salad is disgusting, like seasoned and cooked vegetables is so much better!
Definitly
Because some raw veggies are not good for digestion.
He didn’t wash the rice....
He. Didn't. Wash. The. Rice. He not real Asian.
*UNCLE ROGER HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*
wtf washes rice... its already water polished.
@@allandulles7108 Bruh....The rice has been polished but it doesn’t mean it’s clean.
Indeed
"A perfectly level teaspoon of sugar" *dumps excess sugar in the pan*
XD
#logic
You beat me to it.... Damnit
lmao
Shiver smae
I'm only exact when baking.
FRIEND: These spring rolls are good. Can I have the recipe?
ME: Well, you put some ground pork into a large mixing bowl. Then you cut up some cabbage really thin. Grate some carrot. Cut up an onion into thin slivers. Throw all of that in with the meat. You can put other stuff too like bamboo shoots or mushrooms or whatever. Then you add some salt, black pepper, oyster sauce, and a little bit of fish sauce.
FRIEND: Uhhh how much of each should I use?
ME: IDK, I just add stuff until I feel like stopping.
Yeah well you need to be exact when baking, it's a chemistry.
saaame when I make my special sauce for my signature lobster rolls. I even forget what I put in it so I get all kinds of diff flavors each time 😡
You kind of have to be exact with baking. Unless you want to totally botched the whole batch
K Melissa Obviously, which is why I and others said we're exact when baking :P
Pooh Bear K good just thought you thought it wasnt a chemisty
when you hear your ancestors telling you "it's enough my child", that's when you will stop pouring or adding ingredients.
I think gordon ramsay is asian
"Just a tea spoon of olive oil"
Pour the whole bottle
Hagumi Kitazawa hahaha
Yeah, LMAO
He does have a lot of Asian-influenced recipes.
NOPE. Watched him cook rice, not Asian at all.
a slice of butter
*cuts in half and put in pan
2:33 "A *level* teaspoon of sugar..." Proceeds to level out the teaspoon while the excess sugar still goes into the pan...
Andreiwin thats the asian style 😂😂😂
"I love when I follow the recipe perfectly!"
i assumed that he swept it outside of the pan. i cant really tell without seeing more of the outer edge of the pan.
We westerners ignorantly sabotage our recipes quite frequently, but usually not in this exact manner.
He also lack pepper in peppermill. Just fine observation.
As you can see, we asian only use one kind of math, estimation and probability
agreed
that's 2
+Feeling
That's more like science but ok
True
The Asians cook with heart 😂😂
That cooking rice part.. so hillarious 😊😂
Western cooking: meh
Asian cooking: meh
MOM'S COOKING: YEAAAAH
Q: why Asian people don't measure ingredients?
A: the perfect measuring tools are your eyes.....
Piss off. That was funny two decades ago.
Edward Liu it is not a joke.... my mom does the eye-measuring and intuitive seasoning all the time.... and still producing flawless results everytime
+Ninja Toe Forgive me, I read your comment wrong.
Edward Liu wow... your apology make me sound like some kind of Royalty or stuff.... XDDD anyway, I just cleared the misunderstanding :D
yeeea,just eyeball the ingredients.;;;
“A level teaspoon of sugar.”
*proceeds to swipe the rest into the mix*
I know right it was kinda weird.
I thought i only noticed that XD
christina wechkin 😂
Otaku4life Otaku_Girl same
smol cody me 😂😂
my mum teaching me how to cook stir-fried pork
me: “mum, how much salt do I put in.”
mum: ”put ur finger in the container, pinch and throw the salt into the wok. if it’s not enough, put till u think it enoug- get that spoon away from the salt! what do you think you’re doing?! is this how I’ve raised you?”
true. my mum use her finger for salt estimation.
i cant follow her skills.
As an Asian, we have special trained eyes from watching our mom cook to estimate approximately the right amount of anything.
People who are into cooking don’t use measures. Baking is different, it’s more like science, you mess up in one ingredient and the whole thing is ruined.
So true
I agree with you.
Definitely. The only time I’ve found there’s a bit of wiggle room is flavorings, and even then, putting a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon of vanilla can wreck a dish(I’m sad to say I’m speaking from experience. Eyeballing vanilla gets dangerous people.)
that was me
Nag you can still save it for adding a little bit of taste
Are you interested in Chinese food ？I have some Chinese home cuisine videos. Looking forward to watching the videos.
As an Asian, this is literally how it is in our kitchen every day
Butterfly Taster yeah so true tho we don't really care and tend to use whatever we have
Butterfly Taster yup pretty much
@@UwU-lm9or ikr lol
@@farawellc8400 yeah and you must have a rice cooker the brand must be tiger 😂😂😂
Yeah.
Me: Mom, how much salt?
Mom: Just some
Me: uhhh how much is that?
Mom: *takes some salt* there, problem solve. Now mix.
Me: *Gets a whisk*
Mom: Ay nooo. Use chopsticks!
My Asian mom tried to teach me cooking.
I kept asking her, How much? How much? What amount!?
She’s like! You decide!
I was like, You are teaching! I never cooked before! You tell me!
She goes, Estimation! Ugh!
I go, TELL me YOUR Estimation! I don’t have estimation! What’s YOUR estimation!? You are the teacher!
Her, Ugh! Whatever! Use your common sense!
Me, I never cooked before! Why can’t you just Tell me?!
Her, Just however much!
Then I do it…
Mom: that’s too much!!!!!
😂😂😂
Now imagine when my mom and big sister cooks.... My mom cooks like a western and my sister cooks like an Asian 😅😅 literal chaos
Lmao my dad cooks more like a western while my mom cooks a lot more Asian. 😂😂
2:34..... “a level teaspoon of sugar” (gets finger levels sugar leveled sugar goes into the pot) boi.....
boi....
@@tktvr9703 boi...
Boi...
Boi...
boi.....
duh... Asians don't eat salad, we regularly eat vegetables
We eat vegetables?
@@mr.creeper2505 beans and bean sprouts are vegetables, right?
Salad is made with vegtables.
then why do hibachi places serve salad
Without mixing them... i never did like salad
Asian cooking so true...so me😂 but not MSG
MSG are the real Secret Ingredient ngl
Msg is everything
"Have you met a chopstick?!" 😂
do western people not... use rice cookers?
ratherunfortunate they think theyre good enough to master the mysterious power of rice god
ratherunfortunate We do, well some do. But instead of having one thing that is used for just cooking rice we rather use a normal pot because it's used for other things as well.
ratherunfortunate Never in my life have I seen a rice cooker... I didn't even know they exist. I cook rice the same as pasta. Until it gets edible.
Rice cookers aren't just for rice. They make great steamers. It also shows your parents that you're not completely white once you've gone off to college. No rice dispenser though... I'm only half
Nah, my mom uses a crockpot
DID HE LEVEL THE SUGAR INTO THE POT!!!😂😂😂
I was looking for that comment :P
ha ha ha Yeah
I was gonna say that too 😹😹
i seriously thought i was the only one who noticed that xD
he did
my mom when cooking
mom :" Chen buy me salt n oil, NOW!"
(while she threatening me with her spatula )
:")
Well, this is pretty much accurate in my experience. I'm Indian and I have never used a spoon or measuring cup to measure out ingredients in my life. Cooking, as my mom taught me, is mostly about eyeballing things and tasting as you go. Also, what is up with having dozens of tiny bowls out for the ingredients? Too much washing up.
"pssh all of these western spices and herbs are so complicated. All I need is soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and rice wine." My mom
Derpster Productions TCG *ahem* fish sauce
@@jennatieu5978 Garlic:But what about Me?
Derpster Productions TCG salt is all you need
You forgot the main ingredient MSG
Omg I just realized that’s basically all we use.
The only thing you need exact measurements for is baking. Everything else you can wing it.
EXACTLY!!
I kept on scrolling down just to look for this comment haha
Yep, the margin of error is pretty small for baking.
You're dp is an L
Ikr
Lisa Shelton YES
When the Western cook like "perfectionist" while we Asian be like:
"Bahala na basta makakain ako!" :)
😂
Hahahaha
"Edi wow, basta masarap!"
I am surprised on how this is sooo accurate! From the rice measurements using fingers to the oven using then to the dessert! Like legit it is so accurate 😂
My dad is in immigrant from Thailand and Ive never once seen him use a measurement cup or spoons or anything
its easy to memorize the amounts required,
*THAILAND IS MY CITY*
We don't measure. When we feel it should be enough, we add one more handful to make it intense.
CoconutMan oh yea thai people
Grant Hooch my mom is from Thailand as well haha I've never measured the rice I'm cooking a day in my life 😄
2:36 are we not gonna talk about how he tried to level the sugar and remove the excess but it fell on the pan anyway. No? Okay.
PandagalTM u just copied from a comment months before you
PandagalTM ikr i was dying😂
Just came from Mike's Strictly Dumpling channel and I just reminisced on the first video that introduced me to your content. I think it was around 2 years after this video was first published that I came across it. Thanks again for all your free content, may you have have a blessed year in 2021. Jan 6, 2021 (this date is just for my reference)
"How many utensils do you need?"
"No."
That's literally the Arab style too!
"Mama, how do I know much to put in?"
Throws in a random handful of rice.
"It just feels right, use feeling."
damn right 😂
Is it the same when you make homemade explosives?
@@TheUntrainedNinja get educated. @Raine Riny thank you.
DeathRow Aye, and you better watch out ;)
Arabs are asian..
My grandma was Hungarian and she just added what she felt. She would taste it and be like "not enough paprika" *adds more
Grandma knows best :)
Magyarok mindenhol❤❤
@d a n i • Umm... Maybe she died?
@d a n i • she's probably not alive anymore...
@d a n i • 🤦🤦
I noticed that from the cooking shows i've watched..... I watched TONS of cooking shows already 😂😂
I can relate to this. I have a Filipina “step-grandmother” and I tried to learn to make adobo (A braised chicken or pork dish with soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and bay leaves) I asked for measurements but she taught me the power of Asian eyeballs when it comes to measurement. She just taught me to eyeball everything, I even learned the finger trick for rice from her. Safe to say, I now rarely measure when cooking. The only rice I measure water for is Japanese rice because the ratio is different.
I loved the part where he's like "a level teaspoon of sugar" and then brushes the sugar over the level directly into the pot anyway.
Me too
seigeengine ikr, that was oddly satisfying
“How much water does this need?”
Western: 2 cups
Asian: yes
some
You had me laughing so hard. I had to watch it a few times (or more)
My Asian mom tried to teach me cooking.
I kept asking her, How much? How much? What amount!?
She’s like! You decide!
I was like, You are teaching! I never cooked before! You tell me!
She goes, Estimation! Ugh!
I go, TELL me YOUR Estimation! I don’t have estimation! What’s YOUR estimation!? You are the teacher!
Her, Ugh! Whatever! Use your common sense!
Me, I never cooked before! Why can’t you just Tell me?!
Her, Just however much!
Then I do it…
Mom: that’s too much!!!!!
😂😂😂
The western cooking is expectation and the Asian cooking is reality
I love how you leveled off your teaspoon of sugar into the bowl and then put the rest into the bowl.
Jackie89000 I loved the part when he just dumped the whole bawl of msg
Btw trust me u don't want a lot of msg in your food
4royal Squad yeah too Unhealthy and Salty Im asian but we measure Msgs and Rice all the time
@4royal Squad Bawl… 😂
XD
Jackie89000, Ikr! I was like "WHAT IS THE POINT!!!"
every time i eat salad, my parents yell at me
+Beverlyyy_ lol why you eating uncooked veggies?
+Double Chen my parents asked if I was a cow in my past life and I'm eating 'grass'.
+J&S Habgood What a stupid thing to say, incredible. I trust you will kick your parents in the shin for that :)
+Raoul Buurke Me and my mum are not in a good relationship after I married a white boy. And she constantly tells me that one day an animal is going to eat my vegetarian husband (if you don't eat them, they'll eat you) lol. I think they need to get out of their little Asian bubble and see the world.
I agree with all of the above. My parents called me a goat every time I ate salad (even though I eat plenty of food from other cultures), and got mad at me for dating anyone that's not Chinese...
This was... scarily accurate.
3:42 Me: Something is wrong
Mind: It's supposed to be a dishwasher
wait who even uses a dishwasher
Cmon asian dont use dishwasher. All need to do is dry the plate if you in asia country. (But you can use dishwasher if you have already have that)
“A level teaspoon of sugar”
(levels it over the pot causing it to fall into the pot anyway
“I love it when I follow the recipe perfectly”
Me:COUGH💦 COUGH💦 YA DIDNT
IKR I was about to comment that LOL
I paused to look for this comment. xD
I was just about to comment about that
@@opsatr same... XD
It bugs my dad when I don’t level the stuff over the bowl. He’s like, “It’s fine” and I’m like,” NOOOOOO”
“Some mushrooms”
*throws in lettuce*
Chan Nguyen I have the same last name!!!
Angel Nguyen it is a common last name, we all have it
Turtle Potato i have tran
MeepGoesRawr yo we the same!
EAT THIS yea!
2:45 Me lol 😂 I tried so hard in my cooking class to follow the recipes properly but most comfortable with my own approximates.
Lol 3:39 “Using the Oven” I can relate to that so much (I’m Asian) my oven has lots of stuff in there it could have boxed jello to 2-3 rolls of tape.
Flavour enhancement~
Western-
"5g of Thyme, Basil and a single Bay leaf"
Asian-
"The key to flavour enhancement is... mono sodium glutamate" -adds a pinch- -pours the whole cup in-
WHY IS THIS SO TRUE OMG xD
Western at 2:38: "A tablespoon of sugar~" *adds sugar* *puts the excess at the pot* "there!" *adds the tablespoon to the pot* 😂😂
ProfileGamer201
Djdloskka
iJx_sh As a hongkonger msg is only used in some restaurants, families never use msg in home cooking.
The Lifehacker ... Have you MET my dad? He adds MSG to almost every savory food he cooks. Meaning MSG is very common in his home cooking.
Jvoji what is msg?
Then there is the American way of cooking..."*orders junk food like a boss*"
Its kinda sad that you a girl have to order junk food....When you have a brand new kitchen begging for your attention! *cracks whip*
Jokes aside learn to cook or no guy will honestly marry you and by guy i mean normal guys who you can have a stable family with.
+Tojetaj Nikolic I was joking because America is known for obesity.... I'm Asian lol. My parents are Indian and my grandfather was born in China.. .
I learned cooking ay the age of 12 and all I eat is Asian food everyday 😂😂😂
+Tojetaj Nikolic you're 5 years too late to tell me to learn me to cook lmao ✌😆
Nya Its my mistake then, i am a Serb so i am quite traditional when it comes to those household stuff's.
And i was tought from birth that there are "Man" jobs and "Women" jobs around the house.
Ps: My grandmother forbids me to make my bed, wash dishes, fold clothes and other "Womenly" jobs :D
But then again i cant complain when you need a few metres of wood choped with a axe of course.
+Tojetaj Nikolic LOL I believe every man should be able to chop wood and cook up some food. So should every woman. Chores need to be shared equally. Women aren't born to be housekeepers.
The finger technique for the rice cooking!!!! My mom!!! Dying of laughter, thank you! Good luck, guys!
I've got to where I really enjoy watching these guys. Hope ya'll keep making videos
You said precise amount of sugar and wiped the excess into the bowl 😂
Karan Chawla was about to say tht
Karan Chawla i was looking for this comment xD
as asian myself,. our tongue is our measurements,.
How do you measure stuff with your tongue lmao. In my asian family we t e s t food with our tongue lol
ThatAsianOcelot that's what she means
True
Do you measure ducks with your tounge as well?
Lol I’m asian
My DuDe dId YoU EvEn wAsH tHe RICE!!!
I just LOVE this video! Cracks me up every time! I cook EXACTLY like Mike! Mike, you may be my long lost Chinese brudder!! 🤣 We are SO alike!!!!
“Have you met a chopstick” 😂 I am dying
"Chopsticks beat anything!" 😂😂😂
same
Him: A level teaspoon of sugar *removes excess sugar then puts it in the pot*
Me: But...you just...*facepalm*
LEL I saw that too, I guess maybe Asians are known for being smarter xD
😂😂😂 ikr
I saw that too, I had to watch it again to double check. It made me smile. I'm sure the food was just fine.
Hannah xoxox IKR AHAHAH
xDD
You guys are fun to watch - thanks.
Its funny but i watched all the video till the end ! And then read the comments ...otherwise i read the comments while watching but this video beats me ! 😂😂😂😂 good one bro
.
now mix the two cooking styles and you'll have middle class american cooking
Middle class american cooking: First you measure everything, then taste it to find out you got all the measurements wrong, eventually you start throwing stuff together and it turns out okay but not great.
GOEDON RAMSAY
"come on. Chinese people don't eat salad!" *walks away*
+zhi chian I'm Chinese but I was raised white. So me and my dad eat salad a lot but when I go to my cousins (Chinese) we have never had salad
yes we do. not western salad, but there's plenty of uncooked vegetable dishes in China. Spicy cucumber salad in vinegar and chili oil is one of them.
really? I did not know this. I've never had any of them
Hey I eat salad... from a Salad Restaurant..... because my home made salad is lackluster with minimal ingredients for one meal. If I try to go fancy the rest of the extra ingredients spoil as I don't eat another salad for at least 6 months...
+Angela Zhi Chian young Chinese do, but older Asian parents they dont.
For me this is "cooking for others vs cooking for myself."
Also my boyfriend is poor city folk and he cooks EXACTLY like the asian side. It makes me so angry but it works better than when I cook :(.
The thing with the oven sent me into a fit of giggles. Love this. :)
Chopsticks can beat anything. Yup my mom used to beat me with em
I LIVE TO STAN ,lol..yeah..my mom used a dought stick to beat me..
tiger mother.
ouch-
My mom whoops me with a 2 inch thick wooden cutting board
Jk she woops me with a belt but a leather one no joke
Oh dear, I'm western, but I cook like Chinese. Throw it all in, cook, then eat. So far no one's complained! I do have good knives though.
That's the Italian way, too. Just however much feels right.
"I cook like Chinese"
My way of cooking is " 1\2 tablespoon of pepper 2 cups should be fine"
Ruth Beaty yea, I'm Hawaiian Japanese- I never knew measuring had anything to do with race.
Ruth Beaty exactly
I freaking love this.... horrible day today and you guys made me laugh😂😂😂
I’m totally western, but I love the power of estimation and is my go to method for cooking. And I’m pretty good at it.
3 chopsticks together= a whisk
nah, 2 will do
i think 2 is good to mix but 3 just makes life a bit easier lol
until u make it harder with 4
You know what else makes a whisk? A fork, you use what you got.
lmao we aint git no forks (we actually Do, but we have WAY more chopsticks)
So apparently I cook american dishes the Chinese way... I'm okay with that.
I was thinking the SAME THING about my cooking throughout this whole vid! LOL!
+Evi1M4chine Yeah, no, I got that in the subtext of the video.
+Evi1M4chine
Pretentious?! LMAO! How much kitchen utensils, doodads, gizmos, and kitchenware are there in Western households? Please.
Awesome
+TheScotchaholic I use one single japanese vegetable knife for everything i cut (except for bread). I have a food processor (because it is wonderfull if you are a lazy person like me). I allso have a spatula, strainer, whisk, pots, pans, forks and spoons. I like to see my self as a person with a kind of spartan kitchen. The only thing that breaks against that is my food processor, but it makes life so much simpler!! (yOoO)y!!
"This is the secret to making your Asian dish more flavorful......msg."
I'm Caribbean...and I thoroughly enjoyed this..🥰❤💯✔
That asian rice measurement is so true 😂😂😂😂
so true😂😂
That's so true!!😂😂
not to much cause we are asian and we have measurement in cooking rice
Yup, that's how my grandma thought me.
true..XD
*This is the secret ingredient to make your Chinese dish even more flavourful, MSG*
It's 100% true XD
(speaking from a lot of personal experience)
Huy Le You forgot "even"
Msg isn't even as bad for you as they say.. Moderation is key.
So not true. Even dried chili would be more common.
too honest lmao
The oven bit really got me! That is so true! We use them as extra storage here in South Asia too! :P
Loved this!
I'm Chinese and this is accurate af
Vote BTS MAMA 2016 😂 BTS won!!!
Hahaha my name XDXD
Hello fellow Chinese ARMY!!
YEUP
seriously? when was the last time you cooked with chopsticks?
I cook like a Sicilian, If I ever followed a recipe my ancestors would rise and create a zombie apocalypse just to kick me out of the kitchen.
Old school cooking is always the best, the only Recipe you need is a spoon to taste what you're cooking.
The hard life of an Italian 😂I understand you
Thats what we do in Serbia, there is no mesurments, you just cook to your taste and use spoon to taste. Best way ever!
