I love how you cook for your daughter. It's not "I'm going to make her a totally different meal" it's, "I am going to make here a slightly altered version of what I am already making."

[@nado5918]

Isn’t that the norm? Children eating whatever their family is eating?

[@caitlinlivesonclouds]

[@samd8724]

I can't speak for other places, and I don't want to generalize, but in America particularly it's an anomaly. Or at least it is in my specific region; there is always Mac and Cheese or Chicken Nuggets on the table for the kids. But, that is my own unique experience. I cannot speak for others.

[@erikawelch8355]

LOL in my house growing up (retired military chief dad and Korean immigrant mother), it was “eat the damn food I made or starve” no altering or different meals 😂. I always ended up just sucking it up and eating the food. To be fair I was a pretty picky eater.

[@1honeydragon]

I love that Imamu never is mean or dismissive about the things her daughter doesn't like and always sets aside food for her if there's something shes going to add that she doesn't like. Sweetest mom ever?? Another thing, i really appreciate that Imamu doesn't complain about the cost of certain ingredients when shes cooking.

[@judyjohnson9610]

Picky eaters tend to be made, not born. The girl seems to be a pretty good eater. Parents need to choose their battles. Better to be patient but have the child at least try new things

[@judyjohnson9610]

It's lovely that she can stay at home and care for her own child plus have a comfortable food budget.

[@cinnamon_t6727]

A lot of foods are an acquired taste that she might enjoy as she gets older. I get the sense that Imamu knows that, and allows her daughter pleasant memories with regards to that food so she may be more likely to try it again when her taste buds adjust. :)

[@suzisdis1124]

Yeah true but remember this is for the video only. All parents tend to scold their child for being too much of a picky eater at some point of raising them

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

The things I didn’t like as a child in later years from about 9 and up, turned out I was allergic to. Now because I have MCAD I collect allergies like other people collect birthdays 😂🌸

Funny enough, I convinced my mom to make one of your dishes and while it is a lot of work, she thanked me for recommending it because it was that good. Thank you.

[@naomithornhill2079]

Thank you, Imamu. Also, is there an easier way to make that cream stew without the sake and rice vinegar?

[@yueyue9665]

Not sure if she’s replied to you yet but I think those two ingredients are really important, it makes it authentic. If they are too expensive you can try what you have at home but it’d taste very different ^_^ (I’m Chinese)

I haven’t ventured into cooking fried foods yet. But I’m glad you often post vids doing it. I’m learning so much from you.

[@lisahinton9682]

@Sloane DeRothschild Cooking fried foods is not "dangerous," as some people claim. It's no more "dangerous" than driving a car or running up and down a court with nine other guys. As long as you know what the rules are, you'll be fine. ~Have everything ready to go, and then heat up your oil. Use the right temperature - if you are not sure, just get a thermometer. ~If you're nervous, fill the oil only a little (half or slightly more than half the depth of the food). This way the oil is at a lower level in the pan, but you'll have to flip your food over, since it won't be submerged. ~As you place the food into the pan, have it so it is going *away* from you. In the event of a splash (and there shouldn't be, but in case you make a mistake or suddenly sneeze), the oil will splash away from you instead of toward you. ~Time your food but also just look at it. If it is golden brown, it's done or soon will be. Don't forget bigger items or cold-in-the-middle items will take longer. Lower the heat just a little (it still needs to be very, very hot) so that the inside can get done before the outside burns. ~Use a pan that is the right size for what you'll be deep-frying. If you're frying 10 pieces of chicken, that is one type and size of pan. If you're deep-frying a couple of Scotch eggs, that is another type and size of pan. ~Be safe. Make sure your pan's handle is not sticking out as it could be knocked off or, worse, grabbed from below by a curious child, so rotate the pan so the handle is over the stove-top and not sticking out into the kitchen. Keep all dogs, cats, small kids, any kids, anyone that will distract you, out of the kitchen while you work. Don't walk away - not for anything - turn your phone off or put it outside on top of the roof. Don't be afraid! You can do this! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy frying really is, and how safe, too, so long as you respect what you're doing.
