With in reason you can? White beans actually hold a lot of different flavors really well. Green tea, coffee, chocolate just plain old red beans are good. They also have pizza buns over there as well as chestnut and probably a few other super experimental flavors because it’s Japan and they do that, a lot.
I would have made a pizza one. Creative by GBB standards, but relatively standard in Japanese convenience stores, so there is some authenticity. Also since the Japanese word for steamed buns is “man,” a pizza one is a “pizza man” and I just can’t resist that.

There used to be a show here in the US called Cupcake Wars. One of the episodes was Chinese New Year themed, and one of the contestants decorated her cupcakes with little takeout boxes and fortune cookies made out of fondant. Watching the judges tell her that neither of those things are actually Chinese in origin was kinda satisfying and it's almost refreshing to know that this kinda crap happens elsewhere in the world.
America has such a psychotic history that tender grievances are many and easy to step on. Chinese American restaurants wouldn't exist as they do today (fortune cookies and all) without some seriously disturbing white supremacists policies. The cupcake baker didn't know that and the judges rightly called her out for it, but I don't hold it against her. She seemed like a very skilled contestant and wasn't acting out of malice.
Agree with hypotalapotamus. I feel she's a good baker. I searched for the video and watch the part where the judge said fortune cookies is a stereotype and he also said "downgrading Chinese culture to Chinese restaurant". The theme was CNY so maybe the judge expecting sometime more to the CNY celebrations instead of a Chinese take out restaurant? I don't know how Chinese in other country celebrates their CNY but in my country or maybe I should say in my family, we don't really use fortune cookies in any occasion? I've been celebrating CNY since little and I've never seen fortune cookies in anyone's house. Not many Chinese restaurant that I've been to have fortune cookies. They normally give us wet tissues or herbal sweets XD Maybe things such as red pockets, tangerine trees, firecrackers, fireworks and calligraphy would be more suitable for the Chinese New Year theme.
But Chinese take out restaurant is different from the the Chinese restaurant in my country so its not gonna be a good example for me to compare these two.

I'm Chinese who's highly invested in Japanese culture, and I can say they can be similar to each other to some degree, and I can understand if someone makes a heartless mistake when trying to distinguish the two cultures. But this, this right here, is some second-level shit. No way someone can mess up this bad if they had tried at all.
You’d be surprised! Whenever I tell people I study Japanese and I’m into Japanese culture, they always mention China and start talking about Chinese things as if I’m supposed to know about them. One coworker even asked me if Japanese was a different language from Chinese. 😕

British people doing Japanese food: "Do you know anything about Japanese cuisine?" "No, let's just cram in as many Asian things as we can think of and hope we pick something Japanese by accident."
It would be great if there was an easy way to input some topical words into a magical device - words like, I don’t know, ‘Japanese cuisine’ - and let this device magically search for and find the information for us. If only we had such magic. Or we could call up our Japanese friends with another magical device where we could talk into it and our Japanese friend with a similar device heard what we say.
Now…. I’m not Japanese, but I’m an American who really appreciates Japanese cuisine and Asian food in general because it’s just so good and is the best kind of food ever. This episode hurt. I have made a lot Japanese food with Japanese ingredients over the years and even made homemade ramen which took 2 days to make plus steamed pork buns to go on the side of that. Literally the Japanese pork buns (nikuman) I made were simple and delicious with not that many ingredients. It is literally not that hard people how tf do you mess this up and not even know which ingredients are Japanese…. I guess the meme about Brits not being able to cook is correct 😔
Don't expect too much from a TV show... nobody under 50 has a TV license. TV is something old folks have on all day long because they don't know about podcasts.
Or maybe Japan lost but in addition to losing WW2, China and India joined forces for some reason and conquered Japan and forced their culture onto Japan. Kinda like how the Spanish conquered the Aztecs and made them speak Spanish and now Spanish is widely spoken in Latin America.
Why does everyone think if something's Asian, it automatically Chinese? This isn't Japanese Week, it's practically "Chinese Other Asian Stuff Week". Haiya!
@@princesssupernova5300 if u go to japanese bakeries there's lots of great yummy buns that are actually baked and not steamed, don't know why they went with the steaming option here which is a traditionally more chinese style of cooking
YES on the Katsu curry part, hate it always gets sold wrong. Katsu is when chicken or pork is breaded, not the curry. McDonalds is the latest to get this wrong, katsu curry mcnuggets *rolls eyes*
No, I can't agree. That's an ugly Christmas sweater, and there's nothing Japanese about Christmas. Japanese don't wear sweaters like that. They have too much fashion sense. Pikachu on that sweater would be more Japanese.
@@nekobreads8096 Where did you get the idea I was forcing anyone to wear anything? I just said the shirt is not Japanese. And I quite disagree. Not sure what you mean, but there is a style for clothing. By definition, "style" is a form of clothing. Google "ugly Christmas sweaters" and you might know what I mean.
I googled Japanese buns and the only result I got for steamed buns was nikuman, which was also coincidentally the only steamed bun I've heard of being commonly eaten in Japan. That being a pork bun. Which originated in China. And in fact, nikuman is just the Japanese name for said Chinese bun. It's not a Japanese food, it's a Chinese food that is commonly eaten in Japan. Just like how sushi is commonly eaten in the US, but is Japanese. It hasn't been altered enough to be considered a part of their culture like some foods such as American pizza vs Italian pizza. It is straight up just Chinese food that people in Japan like to eat. So, in summary, it's no wonder these people made the buns with everything BUT Japanese food. Other than pork buns, steamed buns aren't super prevalent in Japan. But I believe (And I could be wrong) they're pretty common in many other parts of Asia, hence why these people all flavored them with different things. I believe they probably flavored them based on the culture they know them for best. In other words, the judges screwed them over. It was impossible for them to make a Japanese dish from the start, because the judges chose a non-Japanese food. This might as well have just been asian week.
Yes but no, Japan is a master in adapting food but still calling it the same. If you order spaghetti or pizza, you will get anything but spaghetti or pizza. Japanese curry is also so damn different to indian curry that it hardly should be called by the same name. I think the fillings for their buns got altered enough to make it indeed a japanese food, even though the roots are somewhere else. But for a japanese themed week, they indeed should have chosen a different key food, like okonomiyaki
@@LaNoir. Japanese curry is hilariously based on English curry served in the 1800s which is obviously then based on Indian curry. If you've tried curry sauce in the UK, you'd recognise it almost immediately as being Katsu Curry.
I feel like buns are pretty prevalent in Japan. At least in every convenience store I was in. The common flavors were nikuman (pork), curry, red bean, and pizza. But there weren’t really bun restaurants, mainly only saw them in convenience stores.
@@annceres1204 They are absolutely prevalent in Japan! Just that they haven't been adapted into a new dish yet. It's still a good old pork bun. It's a common Japanese food in the sense that it is commonly eaten in Japan, but not in the sense that it in itself is a Japanese dish. The way I see it, for a dish to be considered truly the culture's own, it has to be adapted enough or be present in their culture for long enough. Like how there's 2 kinds of pizzas- one is Italian, the other was taken from Italy, but adapted so much that it's a different dish and is now considered an American dish. Compare this to mochi. It's become quite common in U.S America. You can find mochi ice cream in just about any major store you go to, and even sometimes in gas stations. But, it's still very much Japanese, because it has changed so little. Actually I see no difference between mochi sold in America vs mochi in Japan. A common American food, but not actually American in itself. Except for Hawaiian mochi, which is its own thing! Although, if I am not mistaken, the similarity between Japanese mochi is actually a coincidence. I don't think Hawaiian mochi (Also known as butter mochi) is actually inspired by Japanese mochi at all. That said, if someone has a differing opinion, it's all very arbitrary so I won't blame them.
We Japanese have LOTS of fish sauce. They are called "Shottsuru" or "Ishiru" "Ikanago-shoyu" etc etc. We have so many different kind in Japan. Ayu fish sauce is one of my favourite.
Yeah that made me wonder, I don't eat animal products so I'm not too invested into this stuff (only know bonito flakes) but you'd think as a country so highly invested into fishing there must be tons of local fish sauce available
@@LaNoir. It is said that fish sauce alread.x exisited in Japan 2000years ago. so it has been here longer than soy sauce. It's still avilable locally in sea areas,however it is not as commonly used in contemporary Japanese recipes,especially in the cities. So I'd say that majority of Japanese people have not used them in their cooking and many don't know it exists.
ORRR !!!! It's LKK !!! ....... :) Why do they have oyster sauce in their buns ? It's normally sugar... with the lovely roast pork as a filling... Mm..... Actually, oyster sauce is more Cantonese. Mostly from the coastal area. South Coast. There's lots of youtube videos now about the oysters near Hong Kong. Which I didn't know was so BIG !
I could actually see the mini burger looking bun with burger filling being sold in Japan. Partly for tourists and partly because of a novelty thing. Kinda like how they have those themed Hello Kitty and other marketing cafes with cutely done up plates of curry or treats to catch the attention of kids and their parent's wallets.
@@arandombard1197 Domino’s Japan has a new menu. Burgers. Like, um, hamburgers? No pizza with hamburger toppings. And then a bacon thickshake. So tbh this food might go down with the chocolate covered crisp or the butter flavored milk, as some of the most Japanese ever! They do love their pandas…
I swear why call it Japanese Week when none of the buns presented were actually inspired by Japanese cuisine and culture? And that katsu curry guy... his buns were 10% filling and 90% bun lmao. For fucks sake this is 2020, google exists and its there for us to use for research.
Isn't most of the beloved Japanese food originated from China not too long ago? And lots of Japanese food is inspired from all over the world.. Why else are there foods in Japan that have no character in their alphabet so they spell it out phonetically? Like "tempura" How does respect and appropriate belong here? What's wrong with Japan culturally appropriating foods from different cultures? Lol it's disrespectful in your mind???
imo, its easier to say Asian Week. "Asian inspired week..." too long, too indirect But again there's must be some relation to Asian culture. Remember, chilli is not from Asia but we use it now whole damn lot. They could've go for melon bun or "dorayaki" style for Japanese week, but as proven British people are not so 'cultured' (Hahaha sorry Brits we still love your fish and chips) So use wisely. Search out how we Asians use your ingredients. You might wow us Asians one day.
For your information, you are right in saying that most Japanese don't use flsh sauce. But there is a locality in Northeastern Honshu where they do use fish sauce. They call it "shottsuru".
We have some convenience stores selling weird 中華まん like ピザまん (pizza man) too thou haha. But yah i agree the show put too much random shit haha. If they want to call it japanese week they shouldve done other japanese food that are actually japanese.

“饅頭(manjyuu)” might be the steam bun traditionally eaten at japan, although similar things are found in China too. They even share the same Chinese characters because it originates from China, but it came in Japan at around 1200 A.D. so they did develop differently. Sweet red bean will basically be the only filling since we didn’t eat meat (one of the big difference with the Chinese ones). “酒饅頭(Saka-Manjyu)” is my favorite. Uses Japanese Sake lees to ferment the dough, so there is a slight smell of sake when steamed. Warm and delicious. And no, we do not fill it with pork or curry😂
I love my race sometimes, white people will call every Asian thing "Japanese" or "Chinese" but then get offended someone mistaken British with American because there's "such a difference" lmao.
Ikr? None of it seemed very Japanese to me. lol How can someone mix Chinese and Japanese up? I will never understand such a way of thinking. I'm from England and I love Japanese culture, fashion and food, so when I saw what they were making, I was so confused and disappointed. :'( I was hoping there'd actually be Japanese inspired food, but nope... I was wrong.
@@papkinn There is a difference, but I get your point. lol I actually don't get how people get Japanese and Chinese mixed up, tbh. They're so different from each other. xD
I remember being excited for this episode then very upset to see literally nothing Japanese. They really said "Oh any type of Asian will work its the same"
And a reminder for anyone who isn’t aware: they get to develop these recipes in advance!!! It’s not like they stuck them in a room and gave them 20 minutes to put it together. 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah, but they were stuck in a "bubble" this season, rather than being allowed to head home, due to Covid. They did some practice, but not as much as they used to be able to, I feel. I will acknowledge none of these foods are particularly Japanese, however.
The host actually said "you can choose any filling you like" they are not asked to make japanese bun, but they referenced bake goods from Japanese that week and make it in their own way
Hell yeah!! Plus it's supposed to be really difficult to make (i know this from the bakers crying about their failure in the comments on the recipes) cause the temperature when cooking is really easy to screw up

"You make the bun look like cute version of animal, and then you fill the bun with dead version of animal" Actually, that's totally something Japan would do if they'd thought of it first. Never underestimate a culture that combined chicken with eggs over rice and called it "parent and child bowl"

Now…. I’m not Japanese, but I’m an American who really appreciates Japanese cuisine and Asian food in general because it’s just so good and is the best kind of food ever. This episode hurt. I have made a lot Japanese food with Japanese ingredients over the years and even made homemade ramen which took 2 days to make plus steamed pork buns to go on the side of that. Literally the Japanese pork buns (nikuman) I made were simple and delicious with not that many ingredients. It is literally not that hard people how tf do you mess this up and not even know which ingredients are Japanese…. I guess the meme about Brits not being able to cook is correct 😔
Japanese pork buns are just Chinese pork buns that are eaten in Japan.

I get your point, but let's not call it "Indian food" or "Chinese food," please?
@@alphasierra. it is chinese and indian though. Rather buns are mostly Chinese. roti/bread can be indians.
Or maybe Japan lost but in addition to losing WW2, China and India joined forces for some reason and conquered Japan and forced their culture onto Japan. Kinda like how the Spanish conquered the Aztecs and made them speak Spanish and now Spanish is widely spoken in Latin America.

@@davidyang2756 but you cant force someone to wear a shirt. There is no style for clothing.
@@nekobreads8096 Where did you get the idea I was forcing anyone to wear anything? I just said the shirt is not Japanese.
And I quite disagree. Not sure what you mean, but there is a style for clothing. By definition, "style" is a form of clothing. Google "ugly Christmas sweaters" and you might know what I mean.
Idk is the theme on christmas?
Japanese looking shirt, "Made In China".
I googled Japanese buns and the only result I got for steamed buns was nikuman, which was also coincidentally the only steamed bun I've heard of being commonly eaten in Japan. That being a pork bun. Which originated in China. And in fact, nikuman is just the Japanese name for said Chinese bun. It's not a Japanese food, it's a Chinese food that is commonly eaten in Japan. Just like how sushi is commonly eaten in the US, but is Japanese. It hasn't been altered enough to be considered a part of their culture like some foods such as American pizza vs Italian pizza. It is straight up just Chinese food that people in Japan like to eat.
So, in summary, it's no wonder these people made the buns with everything BUT Japanese food. Other than pork buns, steamed buns aren't super prevalent in Japan. But I believe (And I could be wrong) they're pretty common in many other parts of Asia, hence why these people all flavored them with different things. I believe they probably flavored them based on the culture they know them for best.
In other words, the judges screwed them over. It was impossible for them to make a Japanese dish from the start, because the judges chose a non-Japanese food. This might as well have just been asian week.
Yes but no, Japan is a master in adapting food but still calling it the same. If you order spaghetti or pizza, you will get anything but spaghetti or pizza. Japanese curry is also so damn different to indian curry that it hardly should be called by the same name. I think the fillings for their buns got altered enough to make it indeed a japanese food, even though the roots are somewhere else.
But for a japanese themed week, they indeed should have chosen a different key food, like okonomiyaki
@@LaNoir. Japanese curry is hilariously based on English curry served in the 1800s which is obviously then based on Indian curry. If you've tried curry sauce in the UK, you'd recognise it almost immediately as being Katsu Curry.
I feel like buns are pretty prevalent in Japan. At least in every convenience store I was in. The common flavors were nikuman (pork), curry, red bean, and pizza. But there weren’t really bun restaurants, mainly only saw them in convenience stores.
@@annceres1204 They are absolutely prevalent in Japan! Just that they haven't been adapted into a new dish yet. It's still a good old pork bun. It's a common Japanese food in the sense that it is commonly eaten in Japan, but not in the sense that it in itself is a Japanese dish.
The way I see it, for a dish to be considered truly the culture's own, it has to be adapted enough or be present in their culture for long enough. Like how there's 2 kinds of pizzas- one is Italian, the other was taken from Italy, but adapted so much that it's a different dish and is now considered an American dish. Compare this to mochi. It's become quite common in U.S America. You can find mochi ice cream in just about any major store you go to, and even sometimes in gas stations. But, it's still very much Japanese, because it has changed so little. Actually I see no difference between mochi sold in America vs mochi in Japan. A common American food, but not actually American in itself.
Except for Hawaiian mochi, which is its own thing! Although, if I am not mistaken, the similarity between Japanese mochi is actually a coincidence. I don't think Hawaiian mochi (Also known as butter mochi) is actually inspired by Japanese mochi at all.
That said, if someone has a differing opinion, it's all very arbitrary so I won't blame them.
@@catpoke9557 Ah okay, I get what you mean now.

@@LaNoir. It is said that fish sauce alread.x exisited in Japan 2000years ago. so it has been here longer than soy sauce. It's still avilable locally in sea areas,however it is not as commonly used in contemporary Japanese recipes,especially in the cities. So I'd say that majority of Japanese people have not used them in their cooking and many don't know it exists.

They put the whole Asia in the bun except Japan.
Hahaha
Should've name it Except Japan Week
I could actually see the mini burger looking bun with burger filling being sold in Japan. Partly for tourists and partly because of a novelty thing. Kinda like how they have those themed Hello Kitty and other marketing cafes with cutely done up plates of curry or treats to catch the attention of kids and their parent's wallets.
Honestly, it wouldn't be any different to the frankenstein creations that the Japanese normally make with western cuisine.
@@arandombard1197 Domino’s Japan has a new menu. Burgers. Like, um, hamburgers? No pizza with hamburger toppings. And then a bacon thickshake. So tbh this food might go down with the chocolate covered crisp or the butter flavored milk, as some of the most Japanese ever! They do love their pandas…

Isn't most of the beloved Japanese food originated from China not too long ago? And lots of Japanese food is inspired from all over the world..
Why else are there foods in Japan that have no character in their alphabet so they spell it out phonetically? Like "tempura"
How does respect and appropriate belong here? What's wrong with Japan culturally appropriating foods from different cultures? Lol it's disrespectful in your mind???
imo, its easier to say Asian Week.
"Asian inspired week..." too long, too indirect
But again there's must be some relation to Asian culture. Remember, chilli is not from Asia but we use it now whole damn lot.
They could've go for melon bun or "dorayaki" style for Japanese week, but as proven British people are not so 'cultured' (Hahaha sorry Brits we still love your fish and chips)
So use wisely. Search out how we Asians use your ingredients. You might wow us Asians one day.
How is it disrespectful. It's just inaccurate
You are missing the point about comedy... it is not about being respectful it is actually satire...
For your information, you are right in saying that most Japanese don't use flsh sauce. But there is a locality in Northeastern Honshu where they do use fish sauce. They call it "shottsuru".

“饅頭(manjyuu)” might be the steam bun traditionally eaten at japan, although similar things are found in China too. They even share the same Chinese characters because it originates from China, but it came in Japan at around 1200 A.D. so they did develop differently. Sweet red bean will basically be the only filling since we didn’t eat meat (one of the big difference with the Chinese ones).
“酒饅頭(Saka-Manjyu)” is my favorite. Uses Japanese Sake lees to ferment the dough, so there is a slight smell of sake when steamed. Warm and delicious.

on japanese week we will be making a chinese dish but indian and if you are feeling frisky you can make a chinese dish but american because its japanese week
As someone who's been watching a lot of "Japanese people react to Uncle Roger" videos, I'm VERY excited for them to find this video.
Yuta-san will be so disappointed
" Contestant: Who doesn't want chips mate..
Uncle Roger: Uncle Roger don't want chips MATE. " 👌😂

I dunno if these people know that 'Japanese ' doesn't entail every asian culture. Even the guy who knew he was wrong, kept churning out some ethnically incorrect foods. Lol This is good
To be fair they were told they could use any filling, not just Japanese filling
It would be better just naming it "Asian Week" and they can go with whatever asian filling they want. Saying it's "Japanese Week" really creates the contradiction. Smh
@@redswanmusic3627 True, But c'mon show some desencey to the culture lol. At least try imo but he they do what they gotta do to win I guess
I think they need sushi week
Because this is not a japanesse week. this is asia week
@@eyzahugo8285 That's what I'm saying. They just throwing asian stuff together and pass it off as somethin' else lol
Lost me a “Japanese steamed buns”
I was like aren’t they originally Chinese?
That’s like saying “make Canadian tacos”
