I make Mozz sticks like this all the time! A tip if you're having trouble getting your breading to stick: grab your microplane or the smallest holes on your grater and scuff up the surface of the string cheese. Helps stuff stick in there much better, in my experience.

Pro tip: Just blitz the panko in a food processor. You get the ultra crunch of panko with a finer grain of standard bread crumbs. Boom goes the dynamite!

It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one who accidently leaves a spoon or measuring cup in the bag of flour. "Babe... I found the 1/4 cup!!" 😂

Yummy! Can’t wait to make! I would love to have a cookbook from you! I know it’s archaic but it’s timeless ❤

been watching u for ages, keep up with ur attitude, much love

making these now....thank you for including the sauce recipe came back for it😊

Congrats on all your success man, you put in the work and deserve it

Another great recipe to save! You the man, keep it up

Congratulations on 1 million. Well-deserved. Big fan.

Oh man, I need to make these ASAP! Easy peasy and delicious. Thanks for all of your great recipes!

Hey congrats on hitting a million!! I love the channel

Made em, they were amazing, my kids were super excited to be turning mere cheese sticks into delicious mozzarella sticks. Buy the cheapest thinnest cheese sticks that you can find, the only problem with ours was they were too thick. We skipped the fridge step too, and did one hour in the freezer and they were fine.

Loooooved the way you filmed.. And also, of course the rest😋

i made these for the first time tonight with this recipe and they turned out great

Congratulations on a million subscribers, sir!! Job well done!!

Mozzarella sticks are one of the things I wish I didn't enjoy so much. The sauce looks delicious, too.

I'm so making these!

Mozzarella sticks!!!! Best comfort food for entrée ! Hands down ! Cheers from San Diego California

How did I never think to do this? We have string cheese in my fridge all the time. Well I know what I’m making this weekend! 😋 Thanks so much. 👏🏼👏🏼

Congrats on one million subscribers!

Amazing video! No wonder you just past 1 million subscribers. Congratulations!!

I don’t know if you take requests but I would love if you made your version of a chopped cheese

I remember when these first became a thing and I tried to make them at home. I remember it actually turned out better flavor wise but I seem to recall it was a bit of a mess. I bet the step I skipped was freezing the sticks. Gonna have to try this again.

Great channel . Not just another food show

I enjoy your shows man

Congrats on 1 million subscribers!

To be honest with you. I have a good recipe I came up with. I do fresh mozzarella sliced in rounds. At 320 is where I fry. Comes out delicious. However sometimes the cheese leaks out. I use panko only. I'm going to try the Italian bread crumbs panko combo. Nice job brother. Thanks for the tip.

My favorite part is when he tells us how long to put it in the freezer. Oh wait, that didn’t happen

I love that you always push people to get higher quality ingredients, like eggs from pasture-raised hens. Just look at that golden color. I know it doesn’t matter in this recipe, but it’s not only better quality but it’s less suffering for the animal. Respect.

Parmesean in the crumbs is really good!

Why doesn't anyone seem to use peanut oil for frying? It's so delicious! While I know it's more expensive, using toasted peanut oil is a real treat to fry mozzarella sticks. Absolutely phenomenal taste.🌞

I will be making this

I like to grind up wholegrain melba toast for some really nice flavor.

Looks perfect for a game day snack.

Mozzarella Sticks So, before you book it to Italy with dreams of feasting on your favorite "Italian" dishes, you may have another thing coming to you. Mozzarella Sticks This heavenly, melty, crunchy dish comes to your red-checkered tablecloth straight from USA Little Italy. Put plainly, if you’re really hankering for mozzarella sticks when you’re in the actual country of Italy, there is one place you’ll find them-McDonald’s.

It seems like you could push the oil temperature a bit above the target temperature (maybe by 15-20 degrees?) before adding the frozen food so that the temperature never drops below the targeted 350. You'd still need to adjust the heat so that the oil doesn't get too hot after the food is in it.

Thanks

how long do you leave it in the freezer after double breading?

What’s the name of that device that you use to measure the temperature of the canola oil?

Bravo!!!

Found your channel by chance. Nice channel champ old school Bensonhurst Brooklyn Born and raised. Like your method on this app. You wver need authentic Fra Diavolo, Corrozza, etc etc not a problem. I share my recipes. Carbonara excellent recipe 😉

Yep! Definitely used string cheese before!

Please make spicy tuna sandwich 🥰🙏 i really want your take on it !!

I’ve never deep fried at home. What do you do with the oil when you’re done??

how long should put them in the fridge before the second coating ?

This is the move, never thought to use those string cheese sticks. Brilliant!

One little tip over heat the oil to compensate the fast drop of temp

my favorite sticks are always the batter dipped ones, though. now do those, please

Any ideas on how to process the tomatoes if you don’t have a food mill?

Damn that’s looks and easy .

Can we get a battered version? Those are the best IMO

Instead of fresh mozzarella, try "Scamorzza" or "Mozzarella Fumare" (smoked mozzarella) both are low moisture and whole milk. As an alternative, the "Poly-O" brand of whole milk, low-moisture works nicely. The draw back is thay you have to cut them.

How long do I have thin in the freezer

Wow World's Easiest Mozzarella Sticks. The top recipe this year so far! Ymmy, yummy for my tummy!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who finds hidden spoons in my flour.

bravo

I usually avoid dishes that require deep frying, since I feel like I'm wasting the excess oil in the pan. What's your best tip to either store or re-use the frying oil?

Could you air fry these? I hate having to clean up oil

Some things are just intrinsically good

how do you measure parts?

What brand of food mill do you recommend? I see prices ranging from $20-$150 on Amazon. I'm not opposed to spending money, but if a $20 one does the job, there is no need to waste money.

I was hoping you'd drop the recipe after seeing it on Instagram! Amazing as always 🤌

Looks good, I'm sure they taste better than the ones at Applebee's happy hour for $5

mouth gopro!!!😊

Where did you get that fresh mozzarella from would love to purchase that beautiful ball of Mozzarellaaaaa

Can you bake these instead of frying?

Do you have to use bread crumbs or panko? Like can you just use flour?

I am LOVING the fact that in EVERY video, you can see Stephen using the products of his sponsors. It shows the quality of not only ingredients, but the hardware as well. If I'm a potential sponsor and see this, I'm contacting him. Well done.

Can you suggest an egg replacement? My wife has an allergy.

Did you slice the garlic with the skin on?

Is there a reason to not just use puréed tomatoes?

I pick mozzarella sticks there so tasty

Its actually better to immediately fry after breading. If you want to freeze it just freeze the mozzarella before.

10/10

I’ve never tried deep frying, in part because I didn’t know what to do with all the used oil? Keep it for another cook later (doesn’t it go rancid?) ? Discard it? Seems wasteful, and anyway how to discard it, surely you don’t pour it down the drain where it could form a “fatberg” in the city sewer, or leave it liquid in the trash??

Mmmmmn Sargento cheddar sticks!

Hey, Mikey here! I was curious, do you cook your own recipes? If so, what are a few specific recipes of yours that you find yourself cooking regularly or semi-regularly?

Can these be baked? Maybe an air fryer?

Cheese from Stew Leonard's! CT represent!

Italians eat it too! mozzarella in carrozza

You make Ranch dressing like Denny's 👍🙏

could you air fry them?

Ay, capin, we’ve got a blowout!!! Batten the hatches!!!

Now do it with Västerbottenost. Perhaps mix with Mozzarella.

Was thinking about some finger foods for the game but with the price of everything lately i didnt wanna spend $8 on 5 mozzy sticks from my pizza place. I literally have all the stuff needed in my fridge and pantry. Problem solved!

Why not use Italian seasoned Panko? Whole Foods has that.

Hi

Could this somehow be done with mozzarella in the shape of a patty? Asking for a friend.

Where the gold play button at?? :D

Pro tip: Just buy those in the store. Do nuggets, crisp fish, fries, jalapeño poppers etc... But buy your mozzarella sticks from the store. Save money, time, energy and get - if not the perfect -great end result with least amount of work and time.

A stick-blender is a quick and easy way to puree the tomatoes if you don't have a mill.

Would you get the same outcome with an air fryer?

FOUR eggs? In this economy?

For low fodmap sauce remove garlic and use garlic oil. Make sure to check your limits of tomatoes people, eat to your comfort. Also gluten free flour for the sticks and if you need it dairy free cheese but mozz is really low in lactose so I suggest you try it.

When you fry things in the kitchen….how do you avoid the whole house smelling like fried food? For two days!

I will try with mozzarella sticks... but... I like regular mozzarella. So it isn't as dense.

Enough oil to barely cover the bottom of the pan? Hell, there was a 1/4” of oil in that pan….LOL

Bro the bread crumbs didnt stick to the mozzarella stick but my hands😭 when i froze it and cooked it, it ended up being a clump of bread crumbs, oil, and cheese but atleast it tasted good

BetterHelp because we know the real reason you are eating all this fried food... I feel attacked...

You are delightful. BetterHelp is not delightful.
