POV Thai-ish Steak Salad

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- I had steak leftover from this afternoon's lunch (see video here: • POV How to Cook a Steak ). So I made a salad for dinner. This is sort of Northern Thai, but not really. It's just tasty and easy.
PLEASE READ!
The coronavirus has hit many folks hard, including first responders and hospital workers, individuals and families who were already food insecure, and service industry employees who are, for the large part, currently out of a job.
My goal is to help fix both these problems in the best way I know how to contribute: organizing people, and cooking food.
If you would like to donate to our free meal fund, head to www.toasttab.c... where you can buy a boxed meal for someone in need. These boxes go directly to the frontline workers and food insecure families who have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. They also allow me to hire back my kitchen team to cook and pack these meals (in a safe, clean way). So far we have served nearly 500 meals, and the number goes up every week.
If you would like to make a monthly recurring donation of any size, head to my Patreon account at / kenjilopezalt . 100% of the proceeds go directly to the free meal fund. You can also help by buying my books at bookshop.org/shop/kenjilopezalt where 100% of my sales commission goes to the free meal fund, and an additional 10% goes to independent book stores around the country.
Finally, stay safe. Here is my guide to food safety and the coronavirus, written with the consultation of virologists, food safety experts, and infectious disease specialists, and kept up to date as new research emerges: www.seriouseat...
When kenji mentioned that he isn’t “doing this for every meal I make” I almost felt cheated... you’re making other food without us?
Yeahhh. It hurt. A lottttttt
Just when I was starting to feel some stability, he hits us with that
Is Kenji seeing other people??? No, Kenji, no.... we trusted you.
uh oh, here come the stans...
Kenji needs to address this
Threatening to eat his dog, stealing mint from his neighbors, avoiding family time...Kenji you're my hero
He's a madman
It's been quite the ride
Not just any family time, it's in-law family time.
when did he say he'd eat his dog lol
@@wujujuju in his how to cook a steak video, he used her as a model for different cuts of meat and told her she had "great briskets" lmao
Kenji these videos are awesome. You have made hundreds of thousands of people’s time of isolation better. What is your motivation behind so many frequent uploads? What do you enjoy most about the process? Best to you and the fam. And sous chef eric!
His restaurant is closed and he has to make money. Not that hard.
the guy common sense goes a long ways😂
Stress relief? Keeping himself busy? But like everyone else said, probably to make money as well. The description in his vids give a good idea of what he's hoping to accomplish (donating meal kits to frontline workers, reemploying furloughed workers if possible, making sure that everyone is staying safe)
I have never made any money from the restaurant. I don’t take a salary and profits all go back into it. I’m doing these because I realized that if I talk during the POV videos, they’re a good format for me. Just coincidence that they are coinciding with COVID stuff. I plan on continuing as I enjoy it.
@@JKenjiLopezAlt You are a certified 100% real one. Your passion is infectious. Please keep the content coming :)
You just blew my mind cutting those tomatoes
for real!
ikr! no more tediously cutting each one, can't believe I didn't think of that
My life has changed forever!
7:04 that tomato slicing trick just blew my mind
you can do it with your hand if you're careful too
The dog eats tastier food than most of us do
Funny.
These are legitimately some of the best cooking videos on youtube! So many nuggets of knowledge in every one. Keep up the great work Kenji!!
I am Lao and I want to add to this. The recipe is great. If you don't have a raw sugar, refined is okay (I've used cane sugar myself in a pinch). With this kind of salad, we love putting sliced shallots and we also include toasted rice in the sauce. For the toasted rice, just take raw rice and toast it in a skillet until they turn brown. Then crush them in a mortar and pestle or in a food processor/blender. Absolutely delicious.
REAL OGs know he's used that tomato cutting technique before!
down the street from my house there's a stretch of road with rosemary bushes lining the sidewalk. Love that I never need to buy fresh rosemary
Watching these while microwaving a burrito
And buying takeout
*Kenji goes to prison
Prisoner: So what you in for?
Kenji: I stole some mint from my neighbor with my daughter.
Prisoner: ...
The only good thing about quarantine is that we are getting more Kenji in our lives
Hey Kenji - I’d love to see what your regular grocery shopping list looks like! What you usually keep on hand and what gets replaced regularly etc! Thanks for making isolation so much better, you’re a legend
That trick for splitting tomatoes... mind-blowing
I am currently going through culinary school and I can say that I am learning more from you than from my teacher. Maybe that indicates that my teacher has lost his spark...
I absolutely love your videos and you inspire me and other upcoming chefs, so keep em coming Kenji! Much love from Sweden
What do you learn in culinary school? What did you practice thus far? I'm just curious.
@@durpdur2477 It starts out with the basics, like knife skills, baking (pasta, bread, etc), stocks, fillet meat, generally simple/intermediate stuff that we should know before we start cooking recipes. Then it evolves to cooking dishes that starts with Swedish cuisine and at the end of the week we get tested and cook a full meal, starter, main and desert. Teaches explains what it should taste like and we then reflect on how it went (however the teacher has never cooked the recipes to give an example, I think this is bad and for the whole class it usually goes to shit lol). Later on we start cooking school lunch, working in a big kitchen with big machines, which was fun. Eventually corona hit us and the school closed, so now the school has placed an internship (which you get to do but it's been extended) for me at a seafood restaurant. Right now is a good time for learning since there aren't many people eating out, so it's very chill.
@@gexwex CIA?
@@gexwex Thanks for the reply. Don't know how I missed it. Is the internship hard? How much do you get paid to actually work in a restaurant? I've heard nightmare stories of people going to cooking school then still getting paid 14 dollars an hour.
I gotta say I’ve been binge watching your videos lol. They’re so real and informative, also the layout is scarily similar to mine! I’ve been inspired recently to start experimenting with food for myself instead of always following written recipes. Many thanks Kenji, keep it up
Honestly the best things about this are all the side thoughts and commentaries, how just seeing how you organize some of your stuff like spices, cutting boards, or the different ideas of separate dishes with a single piece of meat, etc... Makes me realizes there is really a lack of quality "organizational" content out there!
My wife is Isaan, when you mentioned you were going to make a Thai-style meat salad with this, I knew where you were headed. Nam tok steak (waterfall steak) is one of my favorite dishes. It's great with fried chicken tenders too. Spicy + lime + fish sauce is a classic starting point for bright Thai food.
Heart broke when he said Former Sous Chef.
Great looking Thai salad!! My family is from Laos so I grew up eating tons of this kind of stuff. I like how you've been trying out so many different cultural dishes since you've been under quarantine, keeps us on our toes Haha.
Nobody:
Kenji : I stole some mint from a neighbor with my child
I don't know what the law says where he lives, but where I'm from every part of a plant that hangs over public property is itself public property. If someone has an appletree and some of the apples are on branches that are above the sidewalk, the apples can be legally picked by anyone.
Mint spreads like mad if it’s not contained. The neighbors probably have a ton and don’t care. I used to have a rosemary bush and my neighbor had mint. We came and got stuff out of each other’s yard all the time.
It’s so amazing that while this doesn’t seem like something I would enjoy for just reason of my personal preference, this video still makes me want to eat it. You do such an amazing job of making it so interesting and sort of being that fun teacher we all had, whilst you’re cooking.
I've been putting limes in the squeezer the wrong way around my whole life
Sashagamer614 what a disaster u_u
LOL
I love these videos. As someone who is already a competent home cook it is wonderful to see the little tricks of someone who is an absolute pro. More than that, watching these videos over the past few weeks as made me so much more relaxed about my cooking - cooking how I want and how I want something to taste, not how a recipe demands the food should be done. Thank you for helping me grow!
“Dog Pea Salad” What a riot! While heading southbound to LA last Saturday, I dropped by Wursthall. Once (front host) Russel explained the alfresco seating, I sat & ordered the curry wurst (dressed atop w/curry ketchup & aioli?) along with the smash cheeseburger. Next time, I’ll stagger the order since I remained fixated on finishing my brat, my smash burger had lost too much temperature. Your World-Class Brat Meister deserves honorable mention. Russel said you were there earlier but had already bailed. C U next time perhaps.
I have literally watched every single Kenji video. So inspirational, thank you for the uploads
One aspect of these videos I love is the way Kenji holds and moves things. He has a very casual and loose manner and grip, yet he's still precise. It's very aesthetically pleasing to watch, especially POV.
Loving the daily uploads, keep it going and I completely understand on the personal privacy. Hope everything is well.
Today I went to a cooking class with this incredible owner of a "no menu restaurant" where when you go to you Just guide them what sort of food preferences you have and they arrange on the go a few course meal for you and your company. During the thai cousine cooking class they did thai salad where cabbage was sliced on madolin and cucumber was juillieneed with jouliene peeler + Mango, Melon, thai basil, chilli, fennel, blanched green beens and it was drenched in the most amazing Dressing ever which was 1:1:1:1 sugar, chilli, Fish sauce, lime juice. Highly recommend to drench your thai salad!
Can you POV make a bowl of cereal? I always screw it up and over cook it.
You're not supposed to cook the cereal. You have to heat up the milk.
@@remyd8767 r/wooooosh
If it's a little over cooked just finish with olive oil
@@antoniosevych5648 reddit moment
@@antoniosevych5648 you are the one who has been woooshed
keeping the kids off the youtube channel is such a great thing!
Love your Videos keep on!
His daughter will grow up to have the most developed and sophisticated taste in food of any kid ever

What about Gordon Ramsay’s kids
My only dose of serotonin has been from Kenji’s videos since this quarantine
Casual meal prep like this is as informative for learning to cook as 'recipes'. I'd love to see more TH-cam Chefs doing these kinds of vids.
These videos are keeping me sane in these dark times. Thank you for keeping them coming. Once this pandemic is gone and over I’m coming to your restaurant. Can’t wait
Love this video and how laid back it is. Your channel is truly great, man. Would love to eat at your restaurant some day, but I'm all the way on the east coast. Open something in Charlotte, NC!
Man I’m loving this upload frequency so much. I’m learning so much about cooking from these
Kenji and MGK. Name a better quarantine duo pumping out content
I really appreciate you not including your family. "That isn't for the internet" is a very healthy pollicy that I wish more people would be willing to adopt.
Kenji thank you so much for the continued quality content. I look forward to your videos every single day. Much love.
its so weird watching this like his family of three is sharing that one bowl. im from the south and i guess our portions are alot bigger
Yes. People from the midwest and the south eat way way too much and the portions are way too large. Source: from the midwest, have lived in the south; mother in law gets offended if I do not eat enough to make myself sick.
probably his wife and his daughter don't eat that much either I guess?
One plate*
The previous meal where he cooked the steak for lunch explains it. Look at how little steak was left to put in the salad. They are probably still full from that.
Portion control is everything.i made the bread he posted last night and brined chicken for Nashville chicken for dinner tonight. Wanted to eat the whole loaf but only had a slice and a piece of Nashville chicken. How much I wanted seconds, oh me oh my.
Its amazing to see your channel grow so rapidly, i remember about 4 months ago you were at 150k, good job bro, keep going, much love
lmao my man straight up stealing mint
Is this a 2 video day? This day is blessed
The tomato trick floored me, but I am still most impressed that the dog ate cabbage!
that tomato trick was genius
Im jealous of how consistently stocked your kitchen is
Was anyone else blown away by the slicing of the tomatoes trick lol
when he reached for the plastics lids for cutting the tomatoes I knew it was going to be 'one weird trick to cut your tomatoes in half'. Props to your sous-chefs!
You always have so much ingredients how do you deal with waste and expirations? Do you usually find a way to use them all up or try to keep things that have a longer shelf life?
He said in the video that he was just putting random stuff in the salad he had around. Bit of old cabbage, end of some cucumber etc. Seems like he finds a use for whatever he has lying around.
Kenji you are crushing it! Love learning from you. Particularly when you incorporate the science behind the food. If you are ever looking for an apprentice I’d love to come and learn from you!
That tomato cutting trick is awesome.
I’ve watched several videos before, but today I read the verbiage at the top and realized you wrote the food lab. Such an Important book for me. I’m a cook, I’m a sous chef now. Titles are sorta lame but every time I got more responsibility and was like fuck I’m gonna have to make this work. I referenced that book and TH-cam. So thanks. I’m stoked I stumbled upon your channel. If you’re ever in Seattle holler. First beers on you🙃.
Thanks for all your videos, you're very inspiring and generous about tips and stuff, you're showing, in my opinion, the very best of cooking
When I feel like crap these days., Kenji always cheers me up. Thanks!!
@04:27
Every time he does this I make a mental note. I cannot wait to get my hands on some cherry tomatoes...or any small, roundish thing I need to cut en masse... Bloody brilliant as always!
Favourite food channel on the internet ♥️♥️♥️
This video is worth it just for the tomato slicing trick. But all of them are great. Thanks for keeping us entertained kenji
Don’t know if you read your comments but I honestly love these videos. I look forward to them everyday. Nice job Kenji keep it up!
bro your videos are amazing. really thankful for them
This channel is the pinnacle of modern gastronomy
That tomato slice technique was otherworldly
Kenji: Makes chocolate
Also Kenji: "Here Shabu, you want some?"
My mum usually grind toasted sticky rice kernels with toasted kaffir lime leaves and add them as a topping in her larb nuar/ beef salad. But then you've got to eat it before the crushed rice soaks up the sauce
Oh man I love this channel. I was just thinking dog pee and you said it! Lol.
The roller-coaster intro drop is going to be your trademark move haha
And if you cant have the garlic you want....use the one your with. Golden.
The Bob Ross of food
PLEASE DO THIS FOR EVERY MEAL YOU CAN! The Q has me really looking forward to your videos.
that tomato trick...... my god genius
These videos are the best
The food he makes off camera ofc is the cream of the crop he’s gotta keep the OG stuff to the OGs I see you!
That tomato slice trick blew my mind 😆
2 videos in one day? :-o yes pls
These videos are awesome! Thanks for all the uploads!
Holy shit that tomato cutting trick just blacked my mind out. I honestly hate cutting those damn grape tomatoes but shit I gotta try that. On a side note, I live in the bay and the next chance I get I’ll hit up your restaurant!
Holy fuck, that tomato cutting was 500 IQ
I love these videos and recipes so, so much.
Hey kenji I picked up an early wood spatula scraper per your recommendation, gotta day I love the simple style and the color is beautiful... thank you mate!
Thanks for not scaring us in the intro anymore.
Bless your heart Kenji
Take us grocerie shopping along please
BRUH THATS THE CLEANEST TOMATO SLICE IVE EVER SEEN
Hey Kenji - thanks so much for doing these videos! You've re-awoken my love for cooking and I've been trying new things every day. Question: what maintenance do you on your knives to sharpen them? Do you have it done professionally, or do you have some kind whetstone that you use? Thanks!
Look who’s talking 2??? Man kenji you gotta warm us before thrusting us that far back so fast, I nearly got whiplash
No dislikes, how it should be
NUTS are the backbone of this dish
His portions trip me out, I can eat all of that myself and probably still be hungry lol. 160 lbs 5’8” male so its not like im huge!
I'm a petite female and there's no way I would share that. It's a SALAD
Really appreciate your frequent videos. I'm a vegetarian, but I like this one, too.
Shabu got a bonus on this one
9:14 I like to make my salads with radishes. Surprised you didn’t mention them here
You can see him hesitate once the cucumber slice falls into the path of destruction and then keep going.
You could plant those left over mint stems in the ground and they would grow. Mint will really, really grow.
That tomato cut trick :O
Steak has been made even better.
glad to see an Asian dish made by kenji
you could've made namtok which is just larb but with steak but this is good to.
From mad beach florida , watching from pattaya Thailand. 🙏
Tip: add some toasted rice in there if you wanted to put in the effort. Anything extra is a bit hard to procure.
