This reminds me of older TH-cam videos, no high production just a guy in his kitchen making food. I fuckin love it
One day, I won't have to record on my phone. But today is not that day.
Chef tip: use small ice-cream scoop for curry gelatin for perfect spheres inside lion's head meatballs. I almost forgot freeze the curry ball 1 hour before placing it inside meatball.
Great call
Instructions not clear, hand stuck in Tea Kettle, send help.

@@CHEFPKR Which is fairly close to Vancouver, BC. Washington and British Columbia do border each other.
The moon... did not come out 😂 cracked me up when he said that lol
"Don't touch yourself after..."
"Don't touch your face, your _____..."
"I've made that mistake."
Is there something you want to tell us Paul?!?
I once attented the urinal after doing a bruinoise cut on two pounds of Jalapeños.
And that was at the start of my shift.
Good times. Good times indeed.
@@CHEFPKR oooh man that sucks. A couple years ago I worked in a kitchen (dishwashing mostly) and I picked up a pan that turned out to be fresh from the oven. I think it was a third of the way into that shift.
On a more positive note I've been wondering if you've ever tried something called lefse? It's a Norwegian flatbread made from mashed potatoes!
@@jakobtrangsrud8264 YES AND ITS AMAZING
@@CHEFPKR I KNOW RIGHT! My family makes it sometimes for Thanksgiving or Christmas and it's my favorite part(of the meal). Have you ever gotten the chance to make it? I know it takes some special equipment so it's a bit rare.
Speaking of Scandinavian dishes with special equipment, have you tried ebleskiver, the hollow Danish pancake ball?
guess someone didnt tell this person th-cam.com/video/qD-0fEvJv2c/w-d-xo.html
Looks delicious, shame that the moon did not come out.
For the moon to come out you neee to freeze the meatball alittle as well to allow the outside of the meatball to become seared to keep the curry in, one concept of this is the idea of fried icecream
@@benjaminwan7098 hold up are you a chef or did you google that?
@@ernestgw1993 i am a chef
Yes been waiting for this. Predicting you make the wing gyoza next
I was just about to ask the same thing!
This was in my recommended list...I have no idea why but I am eternally grateful
HAPPY SUNDAY I ATE SO MUCH FOOD!
For those of you who have asked, I now have a Patreon available. Link in the description and I hope it can benefit you!
Edit: Also, I apologize for some of the sound issue and it being a little low.
in my home i cook mapo tofu and i make the curry but i use "colapez" i don´t know if is has a traslation is the jelly from the fish, and i almost freeze the curry so in the moment of open de meatball
is still inside and you can see how begins to melt (
sorry if I don't explain clearly i can talk in english just simple thinks).

I think next time I'm going to let the curry sit longer in the freezer
@@MysteryNinjax3 well arnt you a delight. A lot of those ingredients don't exist near here. Get out of my kitchen. Chefs work with what they have
th-cam.com/video/kLp7CTBWrkQ/w-d-xo.html watch this it's good a suggestion from my sidep
Had the opportunity to order regular mapo tofu from a local Chinese restaurant today. With the way Kuga's recipe was shown in the anime, I was worried it would be too hot, but I was pleasantly surprised! It's a really addictive kind of spicy and I would definitely order it again.
Love your passion on food and anime... Keep it up man!!!
More power
Super happy you are enjoying the show and food as much as I am
cat war is always the first thing I notice in all your kitchen videos
It is the best calander
Especially when it's backwards. :-)
Ha! I was wondering if anyone would notice. I filmed the intro with my front cellphone camera
Best calendar
another idea I thought of was perhaps freezing the curry into orbs then wrapping in meat and deep-frying. (probably making them smaller wouldn't hurt either.) I know thats how they do fried butter at carnivals and it seems to work pretty well.
granted that's going out of the idea of doing it from the show's recipe, but might be far easier than playing with gelatin.
Oh absolutely. I feel like I would have been better off letting them turn semi solid instead of just setting
Yes finally. Just bout to eat ma breakfast.. I have curry as well. Nice recipe chef 😁
I was here when u had only 140 subs, and look at you now... Boy, 14.5k in just few months, that's huge... Results of quality content. Just keep up and never stop to show your love for food!
Thanks for being here :)
I just watched you react to that episode while I cleaned the stove top at work today! I'm a line cook and I absolutely love your channel 😍
Ha that's awesome! Hope work is well
Man, that looks SO GOOD
I hope I can taste that too! 😁
Looks delicious!
This madman really did it. This is why I love this channel. 👌🏻☺️
Thanks for cooking this 👨🍳
for the love of god, marry me. I've been a mega avid fan of Food Wars and the food on it, let alone that style of cuisine. I need a chef willing to cook this kind of stuff in my life.
I'm flattered but very taken =p
@@CHEFPKR all the good men are :(
What a beast! You are awesome Chef
These videos are really entertaining
I have been a fan of Food Wars! since it first aired and always wandered if these recipes really held up. Have a fellow foodie friend who does love cooking and she says it can work but she never tried. Seeing you do this is awesome to see with tips that the show doesn't completely give. As for myself I couldn't eat majority of the foods this Anime presents but I just cant help but love the creativity behind the recipes. Keep up the awesome Channel +sub
I know you didn't wanted to make it too spicy, but adding some chilli oil would have improved the color of the dish.
the Hot Ones shoutout. love.
you deserve more subscribers man
11k views and no dislikes. You're a legend.
Man, watching some food wars clips led me here. It's crazy to see how much you've grown, Chef!
Underrated. You certainly deserve several million subscribers.
Found your channel a couple of hours ago. I love it. Also, fridge kitty.
He is the real chef around here, over looking my work.
Here is a tip on mapo tofu to kick the flavor up to 11. Use both red and green sichuan peppercorns instead of just red. You should be able to find it on amazon. When I make my sichuan spices, I use 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 1 tsp red sichuan peppercorn, 1 tsp green sichuan peppercorn, 1 clove and 2 dried red chilis. I toast the spices and grind them. When I cook, I only add about 3/4 during cooking and at the end I add the last 1/4 of the spices. I also add fresh thai chili or jalapeno if I have it. A key part of Mission Chinese mapo is aged Tobanjian, which you can also find on amazon. Search for pixian tobanjian.
Awesome advice, thank you. I'll see if I can find some green at the Japanese market (where I purchased red) next time I'm there.
@@CHEFPKR here is a link for green peppercorns. When you smell red and green side by side, you'll see the difference immediately. www.amazon.com/Authentic-Szechuan-Peppercorns-100g-Combo/dp/B00WOVOTFU/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1H3SBYFN4IBIY&keywords=green+sichuan+peppercorns&qid=1569902168&s=gateway&sprefix=green+sichuan%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-5
@@CHEFPKR here is a link for doubanjian, once you taste it. definitely don't bother with Lee Kum Kee brand doubanjian, they don't use traditional method, so it is lacking depth. www.amazon.com/Sichuan-Pixian-Xian-Broad-Paste/dp/B00A9OF6NS/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1TDW59F28OO67&keywords=pixian+doubanjiang&qid=1569902236&s=gateway&sprefix=pixian%2Caps%2C152&sr=8-5
OML my mouth is watering; great job chef, 1 down much more to go :D
So many more..
It's just all the more to look forward to :D
The cat wanted to try some too on the frigid 🤣
Never had Mapo before, but that looks good.
What is that cute little frying pan?!!!! OMG I love it!!! It's sooooo cute!!!
deff subbing to you been looking around for someone who dose food wars cooking recipes after watching binging with babish make the pineapple curry dish
Nice vid. I like to use Douchi and dobanjiang for my Mapo. Turns out also quiet delicious.
I just got some a few days ago! I'm going to try it
I like what you're doing. Those ingredients is what would soma use..Please keep it up.. you've got a new sub in me.
I love that u mentioned Sean Evans
I tried this recipe and i put my meat with the curry gelatin in a deep fryer and it worked! it was really 👍
Nice!
keep making these videos
@7:47 Cat on the fridge
He's kitchen supervisor
OOOOOH, a KITTY!!!
when the egg and the minced meat is from the same day you can try it you can eat it raw in germany we eat minced meat raw with onion and salt and pepper on a bun (german sushi :D) its frickin delicous :D
Golden curry is the best...
I used it to cook my Japanese curry for my family and they loved it....
Oh my gosh yeeees Scotch-Eggs
My mouth is leaking...this looks too good!
This looks delicious! Can you make the Nikumi's Dongpo pork belly curry don or your version of it?
Would love to! I'm currently going to play with a series where I make everything Soma does first
Hey ChefPK loving your videos, just a suggestion. Maybe add the characters who made the dish in the thumbnail? Would make it easier navigating through and maybe more views?
You don't _need_ muffin trays for the curry sauce; ice cube trays would do. Put a couple of frozen curry cubes together.... But keeping the meat shell around the curry from flexing and leaking looks like the problem.
Maybe baking, broiling, or _torching_ the meatballs could cook them without too much handling?
I actually picked up an ice cube tray before I saw the silicone ones, but I want to be fancy...
And yes, I think the problem is that I didn't let them set long enough or have enough gelatin in them to compensate for the fat in the curry.
Torching, I almost tried but there is a significant amount of meat. It's going to be a fine line of cooking the beef really well before the curry starts to leak. And I think I have a plan...
Just saw it 😍😍😍
The channel is growing so fast ;u;
Upward and onward! I want to make all the things...
I just Googled Scotch Eggs; they look pretty tasty! I could see these being popular at Game Nights!
They are! Especially when you use a soft boiled egg to have the yoke a little runny
here i am 5 am for the hundredth time im back to watch this again kinda getting into a routine
You coconut curry broth looks so interesting, unfortunately i don't have thai curry paste with me so I substitute it with coconut milk + golden curry roux + a bit of paprica and cayenne pepper, mix with the tofu they taste great :D
:O that Time Fuse Mapo Tofu with the Lion's Head (the meatball)
We made a massive mess"
Not a mess.a work of art
OMG, that looks so gooooood...
That's IT, I'm MOVING to Portland!! Will you cook for me, Chef-Sensei?!?!?
Okay, enough with the creepy... I'm just so happy to HAVE an appetite, be able to smell my food/breathe whilst scarfing, and have the energy to bring my fork from food to mouth/stay conscious long enough to ENJOY it, that I'm going a little food-gaga. I really DO want that, though. As for the moon not coming out, I'll call it a New 🌕--it was there, but we couldn't SEE it. 😁 #yummersasALWAYSsir
God that looks so good. Really glad to see this video after your reaction video a while back on that one ep! I only wish I could taste it lmao. I wonder how it would have turned out if you froze the curry longer...
I think it would have been great. If I made the meatball a bit more thick and froze it longer.
But it was so good. I'm still eating the leftovers.
@@CHEFPKR Awesome! Is the curry spicy enough? I have a high tolerance for spiciness and tend to always go for maximum on it as long as it's not obscene like ghost pepper/california reaper-tier. Curry normally isn't my thing but I bet if spicy enough I'd probably love it.
Having a dislike percentage of less than 1% (or about 185 likes to 1 dislike) really says something about you as a creator. Will stay a fan for the foreseeable future. Some people may ask "What is the next step?" That's obvious, a cult. 🙂
A cult surrounded by anime, food, community and passion is one I can get behind :)
@@CHEFPKR I'm down, we shall pay homage, to The Fry Gods. GBD in thy name, ahmen.
I did the Gotcha Pork roast from the first ep a few months ago, I’m pretty pleased with it overall, tasted great, sauce was killer, but I had issue with the bacon being crispy on the outside and like soggy underneath, and advice you can give that could get that bacon a bit more crispy througout?
Use a wire rack! It will help with airflow
CHEFPK thanks for the response, I did use a wire rack, although I admit my cooking temp may not have been high enough. I think I had it at 400, cooked for about 35-40min
@@DesertPunkStudios hmmm if it's still uneven you can always sear the underdone part next time. 400 should be plenty hot. When I made it I did it at 350, but in a convection oven
CHEFPK will definitely give it a try next time I make it, will let you know how it turns out
Now we want to see gyoza!!
Next!
I’d pay my life savings to have a taste of that dish.
if you want the lion head meatball to be more firmed you will need to deep-fried it. I guess that should help the moon not to leak
So, I've been rewatching the series in English, and I've been watching your reactions again. The thought occurred to me, the moon didn't rise in this because the meatball couldn't contain the curry in the meatball, but, could you be like fall selection and use caul fat to seal the meatball and thus seal the curry in the meat better?
I was definitely thinking about that. Also potentially making the curry a bit more thick
I made the same dish but with really different ingredients: pork instead of beef (for some reason Chinese people actually don't eat a lot of beef compared to pork), a bottle of spicy beancurd sauce for mapo tofu which resulted in a somewhat watery soup, whole peppercorn in mapo tofu instead of pork (and I marinated that overnight with potato starch, rice wine and salt), and no gelatin in the curry (which was a mistake). I stewed the meatball in soy sauce while cooking the mapo tofu, and it came out really heavy but delicious, apart from the uh...failed curry filling. Yours is a unconventional take on classic mapo tofu but as a Chinese person, I approve! It looks lighter than what I managed and it probably has a more intense flavour too.
Yours sounds great. I want to try to make it again and really nail the filling
I hope chef still comments to people who needs help in cooking when the time he's so famous. P.S. got here before 2k sub.
I'll always try :-)
Have you tried Vermont or S&B brand curry roux? They are personally two of my favorites, but Golden makes pretty good stuff too.
I haven't! I'll look for it today. I'm making the journey to the Japanese market
The camra switch had me really spooked at the start ngl
I love the shout out to Sean Evans. Hot ones is awesome and so is ChefPk!
Senpai noticed me...
ChefPK you are amazing, as soon as i saw the recipe made me hungry, excuse me Chef I have a question, before you chop the garlic you cut the ends and put them in the boat and waved it to remove the skin?.
Yep! I left the ends on and put it in my shaker
@@CHEFPKR Thank you chef for answering my question, maybe Chef should freeze the curry, just like fried ice cream is made.
Yep! I'm going to try that :-)
Not gonna lie just discovered you and as a fellow chef I'm super jelly of your stove top
I'm so glad this house has a gas range..
The moon just come back to its real place, dont be salty lmfao
So far this is one of my fav dishes
Oh, I wasn't salty. I was perfectly seasoned ;)
This is so awesome and cruel.
If you can get Tobadjan it really helps with the color and authenticity as it is a key ingredient
I really tried to find the bean paste locally but the closest store is about 25 miles away. I'll make a trip soon
@CHEFPK so did you boil the meatball in anything like do i boil the meatball in broth after i sear or some soy sauce water or do i just sear it and leave it alone. luv all your vids by the way.
I just seared it, but I think there might be better ways
7:48 what is that i see on top of the fridge? new recipe for cat head meatball with mapo tofu?
I would have considered mixing egg yolk into the curry before freezing in order to help it maintain shape. After that, freeze and sear the meatballs before reducing the heat and cooking on low, ensuring that the curry was fully reheated.
How have i never seen this channel? Its fucking amazing
Tried this with my friends for our viand with rice. Goddamn frozen curry so hard to maintain and cope up with the satisfaction with the moon showing up.
My grandma has always just used a knife to peel ginger so when she saw me use a spoon it just blew her mind
So,in our country,we eat that chilli as a side dish,and cut it while bare handed.😂😂
Can you make Jochiro's ramen next?
3:30
Otherwise u will have alot fun afterwards
I did it more than 2times and it's an experience on his own 😂
Man this is probably my most wanted to eat dish out of shokugeki
I already made the winged gyōzas and they where delicious asf
Is there a full list of your used ingredients
It's pretty hard to get all of them by watching as someone who's native lenguage isn't English 😢
Thx for the vid tho u got one subscriber more
Im currently writing recipes, but I mostly wing it when I cook lol
@@CHEFPKR so just like me😅
You should have made a bit smaller curry balls so that meat could seal it more. But looks good.
I don’t have gelatin and I wanna try making this u think thickening it with cornstarch would help?
Hmmm that won't work as well as it thickens differently
my god, that's such a cute little frying pan
It's my favorite
@@CHEFPKR i just saw it and it's already my favorite, so no wonder
Chef PK: Don't make it too spicy, that's not fun for anyone.
Me, dumping a diced Carolina Reaper into it: Make it hotter than the flames of Hell, got it.
After watching this video, I'm surprised Soma could do all this in like minutes.
Good prep and making a lot helps.
Hahaha i think the moon is EGG frozen then fried
Maybe, you can give the meatball a little bit eggwash and some flour to seal the curry. Panko should do. What do you think ?
Ohhh possibly. I may try to get a small fryer for the house... But Waifu might kill me
@@CHEFPKR i guess you on short of tight budget right now... xD but why not you just use your usual pan fryer ? I think it should work too. Or maybe it just not enough ? Lul xD
True! I did that with the Karaage video I made. But I want a fryer haha
@@CHEFPKR Then just buy it man, you can think waifu's problem later when u have bought the fryer. xD
Just use a handful of MSG called love to your waifu and everything will be fine. Lul
how about to stretch the curry with gelatine that might work and get spehre ice cube molts :D
I might try that if I do it again ;>
Nice video...but I have a question..I want to make this dish, but my fiancee hate spicy things...Can you use something else instead of the hot pepper or I can do the dish just removing it?
Yep! It won't be too similar, but try it without the spice. It will still be delicious. Then make your own spice bomb for your bowl
@chefpk perhaps you can use sphereification with broth like alice, and use that to contain the juice inside the meatball until you break it?
I was 100% thinking that after I made this!
@@CHEFPKR I guess the only concern is how do you do it without it exploding due to heat build up. You think the skin stretches enough to let it expand?
@@slyphendrivevlog8765 that's a good point, I'll play with it
what noodles did you use?
Time for the gyoza
it tastes really good i think but ur presentation is a little off but love that u do all this
no meatball gets left behind
