What makes this channel stand out over other cooking channels for me is how accessible Aaron makes his recipes for the average, everyday home cook. Many recipes require harder to obtain ingredients which puts most people off even trying to replicate his dishes but Aaron (almost) always will suggest much more practical and obtainable alternatives which always result in delicious looking food and Claires reviews are testament to their quality.

[@shitalya1]

totally agree with you! a lot of the ingredients are hard to find for me so I have to order them online. but he's always have some alternative product I could use. ♥

[@pradavis]

Agree!

[@kllrjess]

absolutely! His attitude of "No problem at all!" makes it easier to feel like these dishes *can* be accomplished by the average cook with average household ingredients. I love it!

[@centurion_]

Absolutely agree! Love that he made this version with peanut butter to show that it works well.

I wish Aaron was around when I was just learning how to cook. This guy is just so good for people starting to learn. This is actually a pretty complicated dish for a new chef to make, but Aaron does a great job at guiding people, and encouraging them to do their best. I also really appreciate how accessible he makes his recipes.

[@ediedoodle]

Ikr! Such a good teacher , waiting for the day he comes out with a cookbook! 👍😇

let’s just take a moment to appreciate the knife skills😌 go ahead...i’ll wait😁

[@AaronandClaire]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dkskngrl]

I don't have the skills, but I want the knife anyway!

[@SB-hd5nz]

What knife brand is it? Where can I buy it?

[@jonathanbarnes3792]

Had that same thought while watching the ginger processing

[@Hinaweena]

Great idea Claire! Yes, please Aaron, show us how to make soft boiled eggs. Of course we could find it elsewhere, but your teaching videos are so much better!

[@Activated_Complex]

In the meantime, look up some easy onsen tamago (hot spring egg) recipes. They’re very simple, requiring precision mainly in the volume of hot and cold water for the specified number of eggs. You can remove some uncertainty around the temperature of the cold water by finding a recipe that calls for adding actual ice water. Or room-temperature water that has been allowed to stand. Or by using a thermometer.

[@luci4087]

it isn’t that hard. just look up soft boiled eggs or ramen eggs.

[@xXxNeonPrincessxXx]

Boil your eggs for 5-6 mins because hard boiled is 7-10 mins make sure water is boiling hot and add salt in the water.

[@positronikiss]

6 minute boil, thats it. Entrer egg with water already boiling.

[@Hinaweena]

Thank you everyone for sharing how you make your eggs. I personally like mine at 6.5 minutes. I’ve found many other videos on how to, and indeed is very easy, but my comment was more to request a video from Aaron & Claire making it simply because I enjoy watching them. 😁

[@nicoleroca4306]

I dropped a full bottle of soy sauce in my kitchen while I was making a rice bowl following one of your recipes and instead of freaking out I said to myself "Don't worry about it!". Thank you for another great recipe full of your positivity! Can't wait to try it! ♡

Especially with chili oil. Still getting used to it.

It seems that Claire is getting more comfortable in English. Her spoken English is really good. BTW- even if Claire is 100% fluent and comfortable- continue with the Korean with subtitles. You guys mix that real well.. Trust I'll have to try this at some point.

Believe aaron when he says, "don't worry about it." It will make cooking easy and fun.

I’m so jealous of Claire! She basically lives in a restaurant lol 😭

[@irieify9334]

Aaron and Claire, thank you for this recipe- it was delicious! I made this dish today, 11/20/2021, for my family. I wish I could attach a picture of our bowls! It was for six people, so I had to triple up on the ingredients. I could not find chili oil, but I used sesame oil and stirred in a garlic chili sauce instead. I also substituted the soy milk with almond milk but did have to add a little corn starch to give it a bit of body (which is not ideal). I am allergic to peanuts and bought Barney's smooth almond butter, no added sugar or salt, but I didn't use it. I used the creamy Tahini instead. I also added sushi ginger slices as a garnish on top of the minced chicken (substituted for pork)- it added a nice flavor. Finally, I found a nice bottle of Gekkeikan Sake that was just wonderful! I forgot to purchase almond slices (substitute for peanuts), and my son is a vegetarian, so I substituted his meat with plant-based ground beef, which my son enjoyed; he said it tasted like meat! I used packaged pad thai noodles as my choice of noodles. I did not want the broth to be salty and was lucky to find a salt-free chicken powder. Oh, I also added Brussel sprouts! I boiled those for about 10 minutes. I spent $97 at my local grocery store for the ingredients- divided by 6, which is $16 per bowl- not bad considering I would only have to purchase the ground chicken, chili paste, and veggies the next time I make this dish. Thank you for sharing! Since the pandemic, we've not eaten out at our favorite ramen restaurant, and it felt nice to sit together over a homemade bowl that tasted just as good or even better!

[@phil.m]

This is definitely not 15 minutes, more like one hour with the prep of sauces, pork and vegetables.... BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT AS ALWAYS, IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!

[@princesaa__]

Exactly!

[@BusyBody704]

I cook often so this takes me about 20 minutes max but for someone not as familiar with their way around a kitchen, I could definitely understand an hour.

[@ommk9650]

1 hour?!? 30 minutes maximum, no way it should be taking you 1 hour 😂

[@ellehomola1176]

Typically, they're talking about the broth preparation, since traditionally, ramen broth is simmered for hours.

[@shirleycastle5170]

My mouth is watering watching this video. When I can't find sesame paste I toast about 6 tablespoons of sesame seeds then pop them into a coffee grinder which turns it into paste and works well. I always make your sesame dipping sauce that way. Delicious !
