Definitely the chillest duo, I love these 2 together. Joe really goes for it and comes away learning a new skill (and maybe chopping a fish spine again) and Yuji always makes things look beautiful and tasty, I mean, they were packet noodles! I really like the technique of dry noodles mixed with an onsen egg.

I’d like to suggest the concept of specialty chef swap recipe. Same principle as this but you could use chefs who are specializing in certain cuisine and have the swap with another chef same concept and no recipe.

@XxKingCraZyxX 8 ай бұрын

I had a kind of similar thought once. My concept revolved around the stepless recipes. Two chefs basically swapping recipes without the name of the dish. Basically just "what do you think the other chef wanted to cook and do that". Super simple but with all the chefs with those varying backgrounds it could be super interesting how creative they can get.

@woodardchuckleson3090 8 ай бұрын

Yeah they just add up the price of if you went to the store and bought every item you see on the screen, even though for most of those things you're only using a tiny bit. They do it that way because then the expensive meal has a really big price tag. It's kinda clickbait but it makes more people watch.

@nicholascrow8133 8 ай бұрын

@@woodardchuckleson3090 They do that for the expensive ingredients, then cost it up per portion for the cheap one. Hence the 99 cent eggs. or the 90 cent ginger in the cheap ingredients vs nearly $5 in the expensive ones..

@coolbrotherf127 8 ай бұрын

It's $11 worth of ingredients, but you could probably make a few plates of food with everything there, so it's more like $1-2 per meal. Eggs and ramen are a super easy way to make a quick and affordable meal.

I would love to know exactly what kind of soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, and cooking sake chef Yuji uses. Using a different kind of balsamic vinegar in a salad for instance makes a big difference in how it tastes, or using table salt vs. offbrand sea salt vs. diamond crystal. I assume the flavorings in Japanese food are similar, but most grocery stores in the U.S. only have one kind of mirin. It makes me curious about what the pros are using and what that tastes like in a recipe like this.
