[@wellshenlee7521]

This is the first recipe Inga made on this show that I actually feel like I can replicate at home.

[@AboutToEat]

agreed.

[@MiceAl487]

Hahahaha saaaame

[@SunnyIlha]

Jenn had Inga and Alvin staggered & shaking head in excitement over Jenn's party mochi.

[@lillianlouie4284]

I’d like to join that party too!

[@espegreens]

@BTS Forever do y

[@rif9576]

Alvin is just a ray of sunshine. He manages to cheer me up.

[@_Cheeba]

obviously she's in a chair but Jenn looks like she's in a bird cage haha lmao

[@Than211]

I totally thought the same thing LOL

[@joyanl]

i seriously thought she was outside and then i realised she was sitting in front of a painting

[@divychheda8032]

She is prolly on a swing

[@AboutToEat]

@@joyanl honestly, same!

[@technicyan]

Wow I was about to comment about it 🐥. Rip

[@w_i_i]

I thought Rie has mom energy with Alvin and Inga before... but Jenn is next level kind and sweet and supportive 💕💕💕 I want a hug from her

[@shamrizanjamaludin1383]

The first recipe really is similar to a Malaysian kuih (dessert cake) called Kuih Bingka, the only difference is that it could be done with regular flour. Alvin you should try using pandan flavouring because pandan and coconut milk compliments each other!

[@iromosushi6291]

Ahhh no wonder I thought it looked familiar

[@syeiskandar2661]

Thank you for this comment. I thought of the same thing too but too lazy to put into words.

[@upasnakapoor7133]

I second this. Kuih is fantastic.

[@argentosportsanalysis6011]

I might be wrong, but it also reminded me of Canele which is a French dessert. It's interesting how different cultures can create such similar things.

[@kamilo7473]

I looked it up and it also kind of reminds me of bibingka with that kind of texture it has (no wonder the names are similar) that we have in the Philippines :0 I rlly wanna try it now it looks really good. also yes, pandan and coconut milk is so good together.

[@actually_peppers]

As a native Hawaiian Alvin definitely did the butter mochi justice and then some! Seeing the wooden spoon used reminded me of my kitchen growing up haha. Was definitely an essential step

[@giannabruce7174]

For the pink layer of Jenn's cake, I think it would be awesome to add powdered dried strawberries!!!

[@Coffeegirl739]

It would be great, I am not a huge fan of just coloured food. I want taste too

[@mollyscozykitchen4693]

I know that Neapolitan is traditionally chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, but powdered dried raspberries would be great too! Add a little tartness. I love raspberry and chocolate combination.

[@ZombieLeo94]

Or I could have been a red velvet kinda layer

[@aryagupta9660]

AREN'T THESE GUYS JUST ADORABLE

[@jayhom5385]

Jenn saying that the butter mochi is hefty reminded me of the saying that a piece of mochi is like a bowl of rice so eating a couple of those is like eating a couple bowls of rice.

[@sparshranjan9301]

Jenn is so nice istg!!! She is so knowledgeable, supportive and so passionate about food.

[@crazedxina]

I have been obsessed with mochi baked goods lately because the crisp texture on the outside contrasted with the chewiness on the inside. So far my favorites have been a mochi cupcake and a kouign-amann with butter mochi in the center 🤤

[@KellehJian]

Decided to combine both Jen's and Alvin's recipe to make marble butter mochi cake! Ah, and I also tried making Inga's pastries, SO GOOD!

[@KIVSlzr]

Alvin's description of his mochis are like how cooking anime's react to foods. Take a bite and travel back to childhood.

[@ysh8]

JENN IS SO RADIANT AND FULL OF POSITIVITY

[@ChristianSouthernGirl]

All three of those recipes look absolutely amazing!!! I really love, however, how the guest expert is so kind and real and shows that baking can be fun and not to be too hard on yourself but to just enjoy cooking!!!

[@GurldeTRINI]

I like making muah chee. I believe its Singaporean. It has chopped peanut, oil, sweet rice flour(I use mochiko or glutinous rice flour) and sugar. I make it for my family at least once week.

[@iromosushi6291]

Yes peanut muachi is the best

[@javierlim7952]

tbh i feel mochi and muah chee arent the same but tbh theyre very similar, and both slap

[@ber2704]

yupp and sometimes (or all the time lol) you can use shallots to flavour the oil that the mochi is cooked in so that there's more aroma that blends with the peanuts! unbelievably good

[@apdrie]

i would love it if you guys make an episode of bentos! really curious of what you guys can come up with 👀

[@faatimah9334]

This legit needs to happen 😢

[@NaiBreeze]

I only decided to put it on half because I have friends who don't like coconut - Alvin Somebody give this man friend of the year award!!!! You either hate coconut or you love it, and as a coconut hater, nothing ruins a dessert more than coconut. No I take that back, raisins and coconut are tied.

[@Maya-tp4vy]

How do I like this more than once

[@Erinakayemusic]

Are we flavor twins? I hate coconut and raisins! The worst offender is a raisin masquerading as a chocolate chip

[@IzzyKawaiichi]

I hear you. I hate coconut. I also hate pineapple. But for some reason I love piña coladas?

[@chimeracooks]

I looooove coconut but im with you on the raisin part🤢

[@Aviorseck483]

@@IzzyKawaiichi idk but it’s like how sodium and chloride are dangerous on their own but together they make salt. it’s like alchemy.

[@firstname612]

Absolutely love these videos. Full of fabulous ideas that I really need time to try!! Always great to see Alvin and Inga but a lovely surprise to have Jenn in the video. Hope to see more of her. Fab content as always guys!

[@keziamickens261]

i cant over how sweet alvin is to inga

[@federico3652]

Ok, at this point I think it would be necessary to have a "3 ways we use eggs" featuring How To Basic.

[@TheXandraPanda]

As someone who grew up in Hawaii you nailed the sweet rice flour that's the exact brand most people use here :)

[@duckcheese123]

Somehow, I liked Inga's low effort recipe more than her over-the-top ones. I feel like shes much more relatable

[@chloetay4725]

I wonder if she made such a simple recipe this time cause alvin was mad that she spent so much money in the last video :0 maybe that's not the reason for the awkward tension last video but maybe it is?

[@chloetay4725]

but i agree this is so much more relatable and doable than the others!

[@danielladorego6368]

Loving the collaborations...hope to see more of these :)

[@angefish]

I just binged watched all the videos in this series. Love the concept and how we can see how a single ingredient can be interpreted so differently.

[@17kiranime]

Okay, so I haven't made mochi (though this DEFINITELY is inspiring me to make my own), but my most recent use of Mochiko flour was Scottish style shortbread cookies with ALL rice flour- they turned out SUPER delicate! I made cute little circles with a fun cris-cross pattern on top much like peanut butter cookies, but they were this pretty white color because of the flour itself. Super pretty & super tasty! ^_^

[@Kacenka35]

Although I love what you 3 made and seems like Jenn is very fitting for this episode, I kinda miss Rie in this one 😂 but all your recipes look amazing 😍

[@NakNak241]

Yes love all these videos! Thank you!

[@eltaninD]

I am definitely gonna try out Inga's mochi puff pastry idea, it looks amazing and so simple and fun!

[@SHA3DOW_]

I want an "All my friends are mochi" hoodie.

[@haynlavaboy]

i love making butter mochi and somewhat overcooking the edges to a crisp, then taking the middle part to a gathering and keeping the "burnt" edges for myself and watch how people will be taking my stash and then hit the "normal" mochi. people started watching for my stash, so now i bake it in smaller pans so everyone can have the "burnt" edges, more work for me but it's all about the joy of watching people loving what you made.

[@golddragon51296]

Love this channel, this was a dope video! Definitely will have to try these out

[@hello1735]

New Year's Eve is approaching. I hope Inga and Alvin get to go to one of Jenn's parties

[@ReyOfLight]

I love mochi! My first encounter with it was in China as dessert in a restaurant, it was pretty thin layer of mochi filled with cream and fruit and it was just so crazy good! Wish mochi was more popular in Sweden tbh, we have very expensive mochi ice cream in some larger stores, but for non ice cream mochi you’re lucky to find it in Asian grocery stores and those are few and far apart when it comes to actual Asian and not just middle eastern products...

[@mollysiever909]

Can we talk about ingas skin?!? She’s literally glowing

[@user-fx7hy1ov3r]

I so love the guest, hopefully we’ll see more of her

[@kristykun]

Definitely going to try all of these.

[@yamigedo46]

i love this series

[@GemBonhamHorton]

Some freeze-dried strawberries in the pink layer of the bunt cake would be amazing.

[@chimeracooks]

tbh I was kinda sad that she didn't include any strawberry flavor in the neopolitan cake since that's such a critical part of it!

[@annapruitt5546]

Right i strongly dislike when it’s just food coloring pretending to be a flavor

[@cristianmartin3706]

They are so wholesome !!!

[@ayayayayayayyyy]

I love this episode 😍

[@StCrimson667]

My mother is gluten free and loves cake, I'll have to try that bunt cake recipe!

[@albertwong4832]

This video is so party. It seems like everyone is having fun. The recipes are so different. Alvin traditional. Jenn creative. Inga super creative. They are work in their own way.

[@OGhuttdubs]

One of the best things I've ever eaten was the mochi cake at a restaurant in Chicago called Parachute. I will never forget the complexity of flavors in that first bite and how it took me by surprise. Thank you for making this video! Maybe now I can experiment :)

[@rebeccasmith4057]

Milk mochi is one of my favorite little treats! It's so simple to make and hits the spot every time

[@itsbellebellebitchcosmetics]

I love all the different things you can do with mochi, moffles, mochi pizza 😌

[@brydecuir9746]

Jenny’s smile and laugh is so beautiful !!

[@ivydaphne7483]

I love tang yuan. Everyone should give it a try prepared traditionally. But Inga's recipe was so simple. I'm definitely gonna try that!

[@aditis2776]

SIMPLY I LOVE IT

[@Akuaudi99]

For sticky things that need to get cut use stiring it works

[@Biimo6319]

I wanna try these! New Years is coming: mochi season in Japan! I’m ready

[@monigyee]

I loved this episode

[@NoahOfTheArc]

These all look great.

[@ppti127michaelpartogim.5]

I really love this channel

[@sofimora5647]

Hawaiian butter mochi is one of my favorite desserts, I never imagined I’d become so obsessed

[@crimsonraen]

Oh my gosh yeeeees! As always, these all look amazing! Trader Joe's has some crunchy mochi bites, and they are freakin' fanTASTIC! Crunchy, qq, salty, YEAH!

[@Funkylover-sl7ew]

that looks amazing tbh

[@rikychung3869]

Being from Hawaii…the local girl in me screamed!!! I love butter mochi, grew up making it and eating at almost every potluck!

[@rikychung3869]

Corner piece is the piece everyone fight for 😋

[@alexanderivory-brown118]

Jennifer with Alvin and Inga is a great combination. I like them together! Sooo refreshing.

[@MiceAl487]

Aaaa I wish they'd out strawberries in the Neopolitan one 🥺 But ngl I'd still kill for a taste of that, it looks so good ❤️🤍🤎

[@ellijahedwards3069]

third lets go i love this series

[@emi-tz2hf]

Wow these look so good! If anyone has mochi and wants a simple way to eat it, I recommend heating it on the stove with some melted butter and eat with soy sauce and nori! It's SO good and easy to make a simple sweet and salty snack

[@Roche687]

Yum 😋 Used to eat Hawaiian butter mochi on the regular

[@vitushka01]

This is my first time hearing of “mochi”. Excited to learn what it is as I watch this video

[@deanflet973]

I make banana bread mochi. And my niece and nephew loves it.😋

[@everrey9]

I found this video while I'm waiting for my butter mochi to bake! Used the same recipe, hopefully it turns out as well as Alvins did

[@eugene__eugene]

That butter mochi makes me drool 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@michaelmartin1525]

I tried Alana’s butter mochi recipe by replacing the entire sugar and salt with half a can pilsbury salted caramel frosting mixed into the batter. Splitting the batter into two smaller trays, they cooked in 45 minutes using convection oven at 350 degrees F. You can put the whole one pound can of frosting if you prefer sweeter mochi but I like mine less sweet. Thank you for sharing your ways of making these awesome mochi

[@almavogler]

I want to make this puff pastry mochi so much. I buy those tangyuan often and they're so delicious, I can Imagine how nice they will taste wrapped in puff pastry...

[@kawehi13]

I love the recognition of butter mocha! Also mochiko chicken is the best!!! Use the flour Alvin used for fried chicken, you’ll thank me later!! You made this Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) happy.

[@vanni6923]

Finally something Inga made that we could all make 🥺

[@Evelyn-rp1jv]

i love it - "all my friends are mochi"

[@rebeccatang9383]

There a desert that’s very similar to butter mochi in Chinese cuisine too! My mom makes it for the holidays but we add red bean paste to it.

[@dhyc777]

yeah, seems like I've had it before too, ha...

[@moaxtogether3930]

2:01 where's my other hand cracked me up 🤣😂

[@RoseGamingRG]

My favorite mochi recipe is pumpkin butter mochi. Tastes so much like pumpkin pie.

[@ySophies]

I love mochi soooo much, hard to find here though!

[@anono1432]

Like the guest, so nice haha :)

[@oceanbreeze1110]

Mochiko seems like a versatile ingredient. So cool it is gluten free.

[@karlarao8736]

Damnn Jen is the GOATTT

[@pipsplace9072]

very cool!

[@arttledsoulfindspeace]

That last one Alvin showed looks like Sucre a la crème. Its a Quebec fudge. So worth trying if you love sweets.

[@kaitlynn7631]

Think of pandan waffles but in cookie form and gooey mochi in the middle... delicious!

[@GearForce724]

Inga says she is doing a simple recipe. Me still waiting for the edible flowers till the end.

[@yay4949]

my dad makes a bread with purple potato, mochi and pork floss. it's sooo good. I think its a Chinese bread recipe

[@kelarisa]

"you could put, like, wasabi... or... A SHALLOT" lol i choke-laughed that's evil

[@annaid007appstore7]

That Butter Mochi Cake that Alvin made is also called Bibingka in the Philippines. There is another version of Bibingka but it's called Royal Bibingka in the Philippines. Alvin, try it with grated parmesan cheese and adding coconut on top before baking...and it is so delicious. Masarap!!! 🇵🇭💖😉

[@waynejacksongalloway3768]

Alvin that Mochi mixture looks like it would make a perfect Mochi lemon bar

[@vivandhameja8530]

youll should do 3 ways youll use tapioca starch since mostly it is used for boba and if someone buys it by seeing ur video can learn new ways to use it

[@chelseatan7139]

At 15:02 Alvin was like: UHHHH, INGA? ARE YOU GOOD? WHY THIS SO SIMPLE😂😂😂

[@Pepperdotph]

mochi my fave

[@lisahinton9682]

Jenn looks like she's being filmed from within a giant bird cage. I love Alvin's various friends = various mochis analogy. These all looked delicious. Thanks very much.

[@coolandspicy23]

I had kiri mochi which i put in the oven toaster, wrapped it in seaweed and dipped it in sweet soy sauce.

[@amalinaharun]

Inga noooo. I look forward to your OTT creations!

[@ima7333]

Ooh, i wonder if nian gao would work for Inga’s recipe. It’d be interesting to try.

[@joyherting3705]

I have three boxes of that rice flour. I had a recipe I was going to make I believe it had crushed pineapple in it but I lost the recipe. And I had the plan of doing a little get-together where everybody helps make the moche that didn't happen.

[@Niriixa]

Inga's "Oh my Lord" when she thought the eggs were butter...! Perfection :'DD

[@peadar-o]

Inca’s ones reminded me of Scotch eggs so much!

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

It's been years since Ive made a scotch egg. Now I really want one.

[@mattym3474]

wait. i am excited. welcome jenn!!

[@Kiyoko92cam]

I made pumpkin and beans mochis !
