[@lady_sir_knight3713]

I would recommend you check out her lazy day meal videos then, too, they also usually involve very little "real" cooking."

[@Clarr0r404]

Tidbit from Japan, the clip of omurice that Beryl put in is what we'd call the "restaurant version" of omurice. (And it's the most viral/popular version today.) What Genie made and called her "Midwestern version" of omurice is actually totally okay and legit as an omurice recipe made at home. Since omelette rice is what we call a "Westernized Japanese" dish, there's technically no right or wrong way to make it! "Authentic" in this context isn't really a thing and what Genie made is actually super similar to how a Korean household makes omurice by sliding the omelette on top. In Japan, we just lay down the rice on top of the unfolded, partially-cooked omelette, fold in the sides, and flip it onto a plate for the "home-cooked" version. All versions are delicious!

[@leannsmarie]

I learned a similar way inspired by a video here on KZbin. The video was from Surprise Tei in Fukoaka, Japan. I made a tomato rice & put it in a bowl and inverted that onto a plate. Then I slid a two egg partially cooked omelet on top of the rice. It looks very similar to that restaurant version of omurice but it was easier. The inspiration video is here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/navZemxqfaqWkLs

We looked outside the window and I kid you not, you could spot an Asian kid from miles because they’re hauling a rice cooker to the dorms! We’re Asian too, but my sister opted to not bring a big rice cooker. We didn’t know that’s the reason why our parents left.

I love following you! I studied 4 years baking in high school at a vo-tech in NJ . I then went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park NY. I know my way around a kitchen. I spent 30 years in food service from an apprentice in a formal kitchen in a big name hotel to sous chef in country club or as head chef in others. I have had my own catering business, my own restaurant and I have been a buyer for Whole Foods. Like I said, I know my way around a kitchen. When I went to the Culinary there were 2 females in my class (group) of about 23. It was HARD. They didn't have clothes that were made for women. As for cooking in your room, out of the question. You could have a hot pot. Period. I remember hearing that there was a guy down the hall who made Eggs Benedict in the hot pot for a girlfriend. Wow! Microwaves were still iffy with no real standard. We ate in class and got a breakfast most days. I ramble. Please feel free to reach out to me for anything. I now live in Idaho as I am no good to any kitchen due to health issues. My hobby/business is I make hand made soap.

a tip for quick caramelized onions when you don't have time: put some sugar and balsamic vinegar in the pan! they take like 5-10 minutes and have a sweet taste!

[@veleny7337]

or you can also buy fried onions

[@extrahappy6769]

A pinch - just a pinch - of baking soda (yes, really), makes all kinds of vegetables cook faster by changing the pH of the water or oil.

[@carriewhitee]

@@veleny7337 fried onions aren't caramelized onions. Caramelized onions are soft and sweet, fried onions are crunchy and salty. They aren't interchangeable.

Can I use regular vinegar instead of balsamic vinegar?

[@TheConfidentDancer]

Such a fun video! To answer the question at the end, I got a BFA in Ballet for my university degree and I not only worked as a professional ballet dancer after school but also have started a business in a ballet-related field. I often chuckle at the fact that I was often treated by people like I was foolish for getting a degree in something that isn't practical, but I actually still use the knowledge and network from my degree every day and have made a decent living doing it! When I compare that to my sister and friends who got praise for choosing "practical" degrees but don't even work in a field related to what they studied anymore, I can't help but laugh a little bit at the irony 😂 Sure a degree in ballet certainly isn't for everyone, but neither is a degree in business, law, or pre-med!

Great episode! It would be fun to have a “dips” episode of sharing favorite recipes to dip other foods into (ex. Salsa, hummus, guacamole, feta dip, chutneys, etc). There’s a whole genre of dips in Thai cooking called “nam prik” which are usually spicy, can be vegan or made with meat, and is often used a vegetable dip and accompaniment to a larger meal

[@oddveigvorkinnslien9753]

Great video! I grew up poor, so there was not enough food every day. My mother had to be creative to feed four kids, so I learned to cook whatever was in the house. When I moved to the city to study I used to buy bags of rice, potatoes, pasta and ramen, and I built my meals around that. In Norway we have canned mackrel in tomato-sauce that are used as topping on sandwiches. I used it with cooked rice for dinner. I also built up a variety of spices, beceause if you add flovour almost anything can be delicious! I still always have potatoes, onions, rice, pasta, eggs, butter and spam in my kitchen. My best friend say that if you give me a ball of yarn and a nail, I can cook you something🤣😂 I have a bachelor in Social Work, and used to work with people who have a drugaddiction and/or mental problems. But after moving back to my hometown I now work in a library. Thank you so much for your videos! Love from Norway!

The buckwheat you used was raw, we use the one that is already roasted (looks read'ish brown) so when you pour hot water on, it soaks it all up. I mostly have it with melted butter and salt, it's so good

I just bought a can of sauteed onions out of curiosity. Can't really recommend. It's missing the browned onion look and flavor.

[@missmartylynn]

Tips: salt slows down the browning time for onions, so salt at the end. And if you sprinkle a pinch of baking soda on the onions, it will speed them up. But be stingy, too much soda will change the taste.

[@ahartfie]

I was going to suggest the baking soda too - just a pinch. It’s amazing how it makes the onions melt.

Cool video thank you. I studied to be a pharmacist and now I work with rescue cats and dogs and make preserves at home. Please try some more South African dishes like vetkoek and curried minced beef, Pap and kaaings etc. We call ground beef mince and it's curried and served in vetkoek (round bits of bread dough that are deep fried). Pap and kaaings are basically white polenta made with salt and butter served wit rendered down bits of lamb with lots of fat or pork till they basically become crackling. Lamb is the most popular. Have a blessed day ❤️❤️

[@ClareAndAlec]

Beryl, I cheat when making caramelized onions so I'll let you in on how: After slicing the onions, before transferring to the pan, put them in a bowl with a tiny pinch of salt, a bit of butter (thin slices placed over the top of all the onions) or oil drizzled over top, and a splash of white wine. Now nuke all that for several minutes. The time totally depends on the amount of onions and power of your microwave. I usually set my microwave to 2-3 minute intervals, stirring in between. It still tastes best if it goes in the pan after but not for very long at all. If I'm using them for something that I will also bake, like pizza, they're good enough straight out of the microwave. I hope you try my hack.

[@xsystem1]

[@malenafarber6281]

My hack for caramelized onions is a good amount of olive oil and throw them in the oven at 300 or 325 for an hour or so. On the stove I'm inpatient but out of sight out of mind while I prepare everything else. You do have to toss them once or twice but it's so easy and adds a lot of flavor and sweetness to other things

[@TheJeanean]

Or add a list dash of balsamic vinegar.

[@Bllue]

BRILLIANT! I don't like adding anything to caramelized onions because they're already so sweet. And if you use the oven you can make a lot more than you can fit on a pan.

[@TheRealNCP]

one REALLY simple dish is Spam Musubi! INCREDIBLY popular in hawaii, you try a slice of spam, lightly glaze it with teriyaki sauce, place it on top of a block of rice, then wrap with dried seaweed! I used to eat it whenever in a rush to get to elementary school by buying it at convience stores.

[@SaBoTeUr2001]

A group of German medical students taught me a dish they invented: "curry rice". Basically, they were hungry one evening, all shops were closed and all they had in the pantry was rice and a tin of fruit salad. So they boiled the rice, bunged in the fruit salad and seasoned it with curry powder, salt and pepper. It actually tasted good.

[@christynickl7440]

Love the “Burning Love” recipe. I’ve made a similar dish a lot over the past year or so as a quick meal. When I was in college, we were not even allowed to have a microwave because of the “fire hazard”. The only thing we were allowed to have was a hot pot to heat water. I made Ramen in it a few times… What a mistake, so hard to clean! I can’t tell you the number of times we had to evacuate the building because of fire alarms from people using toasters (“illegal” in our dorms). I had a meal plan so mostly ate in the cafeteria or ordered pizza for delivery with friends. When I did need to make myself something in my room, it was usually Ramen with my hot pot, tuna salad, PB&J, or the like. To answer your comment request: I graduated (with honors) with a bachelors degree in education for persons with hearing loss. I had every intention at the time to go back to get my masters in speech therapy. I loved my student teaching placement, but hated my first teaching job. I ended up being lucky enough to be a SAHM for quite awhile before going back to work. I’ve worked some retail jobs and also as a school photographer, but since lockdown I’ve returned to being a SAHM.🙂

here's another similar dish I grew up eating- leftover chapati/roti + cold dahi( greek yogurt) + spicy aloo bhujuya for the perfect meal have it with some sweet adrak ki chai ( chai with ginger) also in india we call the masala toasted chickpeas we have with alcohol chakna

[@ancypaul3149]

My favorite👍

[@kth5230]

U mix the dahi and bhujiya?

[@lietuvaitemiela]

Always so nice to see food from my country Lithuania! We were actually talking about grikiai with my husband today and how it's used in traditional "army porridge", although these days it's mostly for the show as troops eat it rarely I guess. But we still make grikiai a lot, and with so many toppings! My favorite is cheese, bacon and cooked egg on top. Also I studied graphic design and now I'm a professional wedding and portrait photographer because that is what I love

[@tarisenalle5105]

Hey Beryl!! Good topic. I remember my college days ;) I had a rice cooker that my parents gave me - just a 4 cup thing. Anyway, I'd cook corned beef in it then rice with frozen mixed veggies and have that as a meal.

[@missmartylynn]

Highly influenced by today's episode: I ordered the frying pan and the Chana Dal (separately, of course). You wanted to know what we studied vs. what our job ended up being? I got two degrees. One English (Lit), the other Humanities. My work led me to office and facilities management. Mostly, I think, because I could string words together to make a complete sentence. My passions took me to film making (production) and costume/needlework. The husband and I love your channel!

Always waiting for Beryl to upload new videos coz it makes me real happy. So Beryl, i studied as an IT then ended up being a casino personnel who watches people "Surveillance/ Risk Manager" upto now and while working i studied culinary arts again, that's why im so into your videos because i love cooking and food! ❤️

[@tatersprecious5827]

I just absolutely love when the presenters of the dishes are comical. I laughed several times during this episode! Who knew food could be funny? 😂

[@mandacochrane9966]

Love love love this video. My college specialty was rice with salsa and cheese, so cheap, so filling, and lasted forever! I studied French Literature, went on to work for a financial software company, and now I am a wedding cake baker.

'Make it fancy' is what Rie does and says on the channel of Tasty. She is so much fun getting simple products and making it fancy ;)

[@kth5230]

I was reminded of rie lol

[@amandamiura4590]

Went to school for computer science, graduated with a degree in art, and now I work in IT. The path through all of that was finding creative solutions for a problem. Regarding the caramelized onions, when I do up a batch, I'll usually do a whole 5lb bag of onions at once in our InstantPot in slow cooker mode. Break out the mandolin and hand guard, put on a show, and get to work. Then when they're caramelized, I pull out the bit I need for my recipe and freeze the rest in an ice cube tray. When I want caramelized onions next, i grab however many cubes I need and then defrost them. They live in the freezer door with our baggies of ice cubed pesto, chiles in adobo, and tomato paste.

Burning Love is soooo good. My friend recommended it a couple years ago and it’s become a part of our meal rotations.

[@yefefiyah]

My philosophy is, if it's not even a thing, and you want it to be a thing, MAKE IT A THING!!! I love this segment. So fun. So easy. I love the idea of using unconventional appliances to make food. I have used lots of my kitchen gadgets in ways that were not originally intended. For instance, my egg slicer to slice mushrooms, my stainless steel skimmer to make spaetzle, an iron to make grilled cheese in a hotel room... I would love to see you should do a show on that!

[@jerit7529]

Perfect timing..I'm going through some kitchen related stupidity right now and basically just have a microwave and a little electric kettle to cook with.

Hi 👋 Deidre, how are you doing?

[@Hiddenflower]

Were you able to work as a teacher? My dad wanted to be a history teacher, but there weren't any jobs available.

[@wicket23P]

I have a master's degree in Exercise Physiology, but now I program pacemakers and defibrillators in a hospital. I was fortunate to not live in dorms for very long, so I usually had a kitchen, but not a lot of time. One of my favorite meals was pan fried chicken tenderloin and I would pan fry frozen vegetables (California mix usually) season both the chicken and veggies with lemon pepper spice and then melt parmesean cheese on top. Best one pan meal.

[@TierraD2021]

Hey, just a quick aside to ensure that everyone is getting the right info. The clip at 12:30 is by no means traditional Japanese omurice as Beryl implied. Chef Motokichi and his restaurant became a sensation on the Internet because of his novel approach to the beloved Japanese dish, so that way of making and (mostly) presenting omurice is a new and very recent invention. Old-school omurice is just ketchup-based chicken fried rice wrapped in a lightly fried beaten egg (see Ochikeron, Just One Cookbook, or Cooking with Dog for their recipes). It is not much different from the way Beryl made it in the video, and certainly much easier than Chef Motokichi's viral recipe.

[@esmeraldagreengate4354]

I'm convinced Chef Motokichi is a wizard

[@extrahappy6769]

I make carmelized onions in a batch in a small slow-cooker. Two large onions sliced as thin as you like, tossed with salt and a little olive oil, 12 hours on low to keep the onion flavour more prominent, 24 hours to make them sweet and sticky. Then I make patties separated with wax paper and freeze them. Makes my place smell great for a day, and no waiting to do them when you need them.

[@augusthavince8909]

When you make caramelized onions, make a lot. So good just to have around.

[@ianhomerpura8937]

Try having caramelized anchovies as well. Makes it crunchier 😃

[@Hwasasthroneismyface]

Instead of Budhjia I put fried grated potatoes(the ones we use to make brazilian strogonoff). It's so good

I have two degrees. Att first i got a masters in enginering (molecular biotechnology). Then I studied to become a biomedical laboratory scientist and got another bachelors degree. I now work in a hospital laboratory, analyzing blood samples from sick patients and I'm an instrument expert in a team of experts working on implementing new analysis platforms in the entire region where I work. I love my job.

I agree, rice cooker recipes deserve its own series. A friend used to do rice cooker hainanese chicken rice at college in the PH. It was such a treat because we were all living away from our families.

[@bugsb70]

[@timothyshortnacy7550]

That was fun! I like the idea of rice cooker hack or a one pan meal. There was a TV cooking show on years back called Semi-Homemade. It concentrated on taking pre-prepped food ie. box mix, canned, etc and adding a few other ingredients to make convenient food taste more homemade. I liked that show.

[@HungryBaozi]

It would be interesting to have a 1-tool video series! Like 1 pot dishes, microwave dishes, instant pot dishes... I personally can't imagine cooking with just a microwave! I just use it to reheat food :)

[@lael5327]

I love this idea!

[@97maltesers]

An all in microwave dish! Everything in one bowl getting cooled together

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

A variant of the Brændende Kærlighed I grew up with as a kid had carrot in it. You boil the carrot and potato in separate pots, mash them, and then stir together so that you get separate lumps of potato and carrot in varying ratios with each mouthful. You can add a little extra animal fat by stirring in some butter. Your bacon should be very thinly sliced so that it renders the fat and goes really crispy. Reserve the fat in a cup, put it in the fridge and then use it as a topping with sugar on bread or to melt and fry bread in a pan and top with cinnamon sugar. Buckwheat is not a type of wheat and is gluten free. It has a nice solid meaty feel and taste.

[@anastasiarene6617]

I usually start my onions in the microwave. It pulls out a lot of moisture and makes caramelization go faster in the pan. But I recently got an instant pot and I think there are a few videos on how to caramelize them in that so I’ll be giving it a try.

[@karlanorvell9573]

I put a lot of things in with my rice when it is cooking. In fact, I make entire meals by adding frozen vegetables and either cooked meat or lentils. My favorite is to add frozen spinach and lentils (like 1/4 cup lentils to every half cup of rice-also add more water). I usually add chicken or veggie bullion, salt, garlic powder but when I add a veg and lentils, I sometimes add a little curry powder, cashews and soy sauce. One pot meal.

[@NativeWarrior88]

I love to eat! With that in mind, food has always been a lot of things for me. Art, personal expression, therapy and of course, fun! With that said, I refused to go to college without a way to cook! So I brought an electric skillet (2 sizes), a rice cooker (I'm south korean) and a mini fridge. I cooked almost exclusively instead of eating out! Not only did I save a ton of money, but my dorm always smelled really good! My roommate, who later became my best friend and still is, started the nickname chef for me and it stuck all throughout college! Anyway, when I was pressed for time, I would make all types of Fried Rice, different types of quick pastas, rice balls, and all different types of soups and burritos! I have a Masters Degree in Ballistics and not only was that incredibly fun, but being able to cook real food made it so much better! Loved this episode and your energy, Beryl! Oh, and my fiance is from Barbados and she wants to know I'd you could please do an episode centered around Pacific Island dishes, please! Much Love from the Southern US! Oh and I still work with Ballistics but I'm a police officer now with a specialty in Ballistics!

[@iEGeek]

And the amount of onions you thought would be a lot ends up being so little. Caramelised onions will test you.

[@JJMarkin]

Since you ask: studied "Classics" (Latin, ancient Greek, and Graeco-Roman history & culture) in college and grad school, following my life-long dream of becoming an eminence grise in an ivory tower during the school year and spending my summers and my sabbatical years engaged in archaeological digs but emerging with a PhD in hand and the realization the academic job market was totally _lousy_ . I thereupon started working in a research library while obtaining a library degree and ended up cataloguing books in a museum library. Dream job! The research skills, as well as the data organization & distillation skills, developed while writing my dissertation were combined with the language chops to make me a perfect fit for dealing with material that could range on any one day from a German book on the use of radar by the RAF in WW2 to interfere with the guidance systems of the Luftwaffe, to a guide book written in Khazak (using Cyrillic) for an archaeological exhibition in a museum in Almaty, to a Japanese children's book about the Japanese giant salamander (Andrias _japonicus_ ). Ultimately, I spent my entire life in the pursuit of knowledge in some way or another, spurred on by insatiable curiosity and just the plain joy of learning something new. And, yes, please, another vote for rice cooker recipes. Wish rice cookers and microwaves had been around when I was in college -- cooking in the dorms was strictly forbidden, heating up food on top of a radiator was not very effective and could only be done in the winter, and keeping a hot plate hidden or cooking odors to an imperceptible minimum was a major pain.

[@arisah239]

Would love the rice cooker category! I got it as a gift, and I’ve only used it once😬 Also there’s definitely an easier version of omurice than the example. The one he makes is more specialized!
