You've discovered the key to the success of Amazon.

And ignore the fact that if you don’t have the ingredients already you can’t just buy the exact amount you need lol

@@AlamoCityFishing Lots of ingredients are already in your pantry too. Like sugar or flour.

@@AlamoCityFishing I don't think you let the extra ingredients spoil, you'll use them up for other dishes.

@@AlamoCityFishing Start off with buying the pantry stuff in bulk, then meat, and then just buy what vegetables you need for the week.

Grows his own chicken from table scraps just to make it cheaper...

Well seeing as how they are selling those at a rather sizable loss that can't happen. Those aren't there for profit but to get people in the door. People will often buy other things while they are there for dinner so Costco makes more money in the long run then what they lose on the chicken in the short run.

@@EvilSanta482 facts. A customer buying anything is better than food to throw away since no one bought it.

Even raw chickens at costco are double that in a 3 pack in Canada

It’s a loss leader. They lose money on a product to get you in the door. Aldi does the same thing with eggs and milk. Video game companies do the same thing with consoles, knowing you’ll buy lots of software.

You should give one of them a shot one day. One of the simple ones, like scones. They usually turn out really good, and eventually you learn where to diverge/ how to make substitutions, which makes other recipes easier.

Don't think for a second that he actually tells the truth. He is very clearly lying to you!!!!! he said its $2.85 per serving but after watching it a second time, I added up all the price amounts THAT HE LISTED, cause he only listed the price for the first time he used oil, but he used it 4 more times without listing it. After adding everything up, it came out to $17.34 and if he wanted to achieve $2.85 per serving then that means you watched him prepare 6 servings, yet he's clearly showing you half of what he made put into one styrofoam container as if he wanted you to think he only made 2 servings.

@@AdrenalineandEpiphany So.....first. I think you meant to respond to another comment. Second? It's so gross seeing people like you excited to list why the price is bogus. Figure out the substitutes, drive the price down, keep a regular pantry of staples and basics. It's not hard, I promise.

@@Pandaman64 no you don't understand my comment at all. He may help you learn recipes and substitutes, that information is valuable for purple to learn, but he is doing so while misleading you on proportion of serving size. If you divide everything he made by 6, which is how you achieve $2.85 per serving, then it's not a full serving size but instead a sampler snack. He shows you at the end a styrofoam container that he calls 1 serving but instead its 3, so his idea of a serving size is $8.55 yet he's claiming its $2.85.

Humble

this sounds like an incredible idea actually

It is missing MSG

@@johnree6106 I promise you, that's the one ingredient I never forget.😂

My problem is I don't write down my recipes, I just throw stuff together and food is the result. I rarely measure anything out.

@@Skypost4ever I made one of my best tasting meals everyone who ate it wanted the recipe, problem was I just threw things I had together never could reproduce it later 😅

I haven't worked in a chinese restaurant but I have just experimented on my own, trying to get the flavours and textures right. It's fun, and I'm getting closer and closer each time!

What is chow fun? Did you mean chao fan (fried rice)

Well, that's actually not too difficult. Naturally, stews & other bistro dishes can be made the day before & usually last 2 - 3 days in the fridge. Plus stews improve in flavor the longer they are stored. Very fibrous pieces of meat like beef shoulder etc, are not very expensive & are in my opinion (as a chef) more flavorful than a filet of beef. The real art of cooking is by achieving to get a very tough piece of meat fork tender. Every amateur online cook can create a perfectly pink filet with a thermometer these days. As my former culinary instructor would always say. The key is to know which step to take first. If you make for example a vegetarian falafel chickpea curry & you use fresh chickpeas, then you ought to leave them soaking in water over night. The next day you can make the falafel & the curry sauce in large batches & store it for 1 or 2 days until you are ready. I don't know what trouble you are having so I'm just trying to help the best I can, if you want my help of course. Just trying to be a good samaritan chef every now & then, reading some comments online. Bless you

its literally chopping vegetables. not much to it.

"Josh Cortis" on KZfaq.

Good idea

It’s per person me wise that’s why it’s cheap

Are you in canada?

5 gyoza is 14.55, beef fried rice is 19.70 and thos happened to be the cheapest options that I found

And the M S Geeeeeeehy will still make you order again

Remember local mom and pop shops responding to the market pressure prices. these little places understand the balance of price and sales. You are not funding these local shops 2nd or 3rd homes the way you for executives at national chains. You are helping them to have a roof and putting their kids through school. If their prices are too high and they lose business , they will adjust not like the national chains.

Bud half his videos are Mexican food the fuck you on

Yeah I don't think chefs will share that if they want to run a business

@@shakyadeeppanda1737 Restaurants don't really drive their business by "how good the flavour is" but rather how you don't have to cook.

@@shakyadeeppanda1737 the techniques aren’t really a secret, unless you’re talking about highly specialised, unconventional dishes made at super fancy restaurants. Regular chef techniques and processes aren’t secret and they don’t have to be because it’s a lot of practice and hard work to pull it off well so the average person who isn’t dedicated to it won’t just steal your process and put you out of business.

Watch the Food Network channel, if you have it... there's a lot of shows where you can get a feel for that.

But only if you apply heat.

$7 for 16-oz. squirt bottle is about $0.55 for 2.5 tbsp.

Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Soybean Vegetable Oil is $5.63 for 48 oz. $0.29 per 2.5 tbsp. If $5 oil is making you cry, you got bigger problems.

That will be the lunchtime leftovers you would be getting at that time.

I've found that the best time to get takeout is juuust before the restaurant closes. I don't know if most Chinese takeout restaurants will do this, but mine will pile on the food because they don't want to have to throw it away after they close.

yea, because what he eventually ended up eating was DEFINITELY more than $3 worth. A "serving" is so vague that its hard to compare unless he says how many servings he's actually making.

So he is very clearly lying to you!!!!! he said its $2.85 per serving but after watching it a second time, I added up all the price amounts THAT HE LISTED, cause he only listed the price for the first time he used oil, but he used it 4 more times without listing it. After adding everything up, it came out to $17.34 and if he wanted to achieve $2.85 per serving then that means you watched him prepare 6 servings, yet he's clearly showing you half of what he made put into one styrofoam container as if he wanted you to think he only made 2 servings.

STUPIED adrenaline and epiphany

What the ruck do you think your fucking doing on your STUPIED iPad trying to roast people

He said only that portion bitch

Wok. Keep up the great wok, c'mon, it was right there! :)

Either way it's night and day cheaper to cook at home, but not everyone has the time.

Im sorry about this but he is very clearly lying to you!!!!! he said its $2.85 per serving but after watching it a second time, I added up all the price amounts THAT HE LISTED, cause he only listed the price for the first time he used oil, but he used it 4 more times without listing it.

@@metromusic5725 not true. I've been cooking Josh's recipes for a couple years. I can usually make them for even cheaper.

@@metromusic5725 nah, most of this stuff repeats in various recepies, you just buy it once, and then you spend even less then 3$. It's actually super affordable

Hello Frannie

You better be eating light cause if you want to spend $2.85 per serving then you have to eat 1/6 of this recipe. So he is very clearly lying to you!!!!! he said its $2.85 per serving but after watching it a second time, I added up all the price amounts THAT HE LISTED, cause he only listed the price for the first time he used oil, but he used it 4 more times without listing it.

Yeah, I'm kind of skeptical of how it is THIS cheap. I understand if you buy certain things in bulk that it will be cheap in the long run, but for the size container of oil he used for the wok deep frying, there is no chance that was .47 cents worth of oil, that was easily $2-3.

@@maxm745 Agreed. The thumbnail is kind of misleading too.

don't forget the wok and whatever other tools you don't already have

@@RubenSaoRoque Everything I consume comes from the grocery store and I cook it myself. I've ate out like 3 times in the last 5 years.

@@RubenSaoRoque The video implies that the meal can be made for 3 dollars, and that's not entirely true.

Agreed! Like the up front costs and meals made to make it be the $3 for all of the meals made, that would be so cool

There is a video abt tiramisu you can search for it😊

Yep quite similar to sweet and sour chicken or pork

Eating noodles with rice is like eating rice with Indian bread.

Break it up a bit. You don't have to cook all the dishes. I tried the kung pao pork tonight. I subbed a pork chop for the Boston butt and used 2 green peppers as that's what I had on hand. I started the rice cooker first, by the time I was done with the pork the rice was cooker was just finishing (30ish mins). That includes defrosting the pork chop and roasting my own peanuts (only had raw for some reason). Turned out great.

damn epic meal time is no longer a thing :(

You can find usable woks at places like Target (likely non-stick, so be aware of that) with flat bottoms that will work just fine on electric stovetops (I assume this is what you have). For cooking them you can just use a silicone spatula (better than plastic for handling the heat of the wok) from Dollar Tree or a large-ish pair of chopsticks. That is how I usually cook Chinese food after moving out, and it should be sufficient for dishes like beef and broccoli, fried rice, chow mein, etc.

He actually has a video where he visits a college apartment to see what they have and bases the recipes on that. It's a couple of years old.

@@andrelee7081 Thanks for the tip

@@JenniferChurch I've seen that video but I don't even have that big of a fridge and my problem is mainly the space needed to have all these ingredients and tools

you can flip the ... Metal bits that cover the flame over for a wok holder. They did that in Epicurois

Watch Deep Frying at Home is a GREAT IDEA by Ethan on youtube around 10 minutes into the video he talks about that

easiest of the bunch are bigass milk cartons. pour the grease in, wait until room temp and then tape it shut. if the bits had any foil or plastic on it, thats common waste but if the container was biodegradable itself? bio pile just fine.

Bury it in your garden soil or compost if you can't filter it. It'll break down in 2 weeks, add hot water right after burying the oil, and it'll break down in a week. In the winter, its filter the oil and store it or use 3x hot water to oil when composting it. If you do welding or metal work, filter and use it for quenching the metal.

Filter and reuse it.

drink it and make mayonnaise

but was it accurate on the taste? especially the pork?

I agree, considering you're getting everything from meal to drink. Like a simple Popeyes meal these days are BEYOND overprices for the quality you may get sometimes Still even then this comment speaks facts

Yeah, if you go Panda Express you can get a meal like this for $10-11 and it’s super filling and delicious, could even last you 2 meals. I think that’s the biggest problem with places like McDonald’s and Wendy’s. $10-11 would just get you a burger, fries, and drink which are just decent in terms of taste and you’ll be barely filled up

You literally just watched that in this specific video. he said its $2.85 per serving but after watching it a second time, I added up all the price amounts THAT HE LISTED, cause he only listed the price for the first time he used oil, but he used it 4 more times without listing it. After adding everything up, it came out to $17.34 and if he wanted to achieve $2.85 per serving then that means you watched him prepare 6 servings, yet he's clearly showing you half of what he made put into one styrofoam container as if he wanted you to think he only made 2 servings. So you're now realizing that he's quite a bit deceptive in his presentation.

@@AdrenalineandEpiphany Right? I just googled the price of the first ingredient listed for this one on his website, " 1lb boneless boston butt". It's listed near me, at the cheapest, $3.19/lb. The first ingredient alone exceeds the claimed cost of all 3 dishes!! Not to mention I would have to buy a 4lb butt.

@@kyra613 Um, because the whole point is that you make like 5 portions worth and each portion ends up being $3. Obviously you can’t buy each individual ingredient for that one portion size, don’t be stupid.

🖕🖕🖕🖕 Congratulations 🔑🔑lucky winner......

Depends everything he mentioned I can buy in small amounts. Really it’s on who is selling and how they wish to sell it. Most major chains don’t do anything in regards to smaller servings.
