[@confusedraj6731]

I appreciate your efforts trying to make a dish from every single country in the world. Some tips for making ema datshi: - Tomatoes are not required actually - use onion slices rather than chopped same with tomatoes if u are using it - cream cheese works best with ema datshi most people use the same at home or even in restaurants - Cottage cheese is good, the cheese used in Bhutan is also a kind of cottage cheese - I personally don't prefer cheddar cheese - Bhutanese people mostly use cheese from cattle 🐄 these days yaks are scarce in Bhutan.

[@brianboru1975]

Thanks for the tips! This dish is a staple in our home now and we have it at least once a week. I'm in the USA (S. California) and I've used different cheeses and like the Mexican queso fresco the best, so far, because it is quite salty and melts into the broth. Next time I make it I'll use cream cheese.

[@brianboru1975]

I made this tonight using a combination of Thai red chilies, Serrano chilies, filipino Sili chilies, and white cheddar cheese curds I had leftover and it was amazing. Paired it with pan roasted salmon and jasmine rice and the ema datshi raised the supper to another level. Thanks for that!

[@curtishelsel5441]

Dude, your growth as a cook is really starting to shine. You mentioned onion sweating intuition but you glossed by the foaming butter technique and that is pro level to me. I started watching you around the time of the first Jamie and Julia episode and I dig every one of the videos. Keep it up, man.

Ema datsi is one of my all time favourite dishes. The last time I was in Bhutan, I ate it almost every day. Kewa datsi is also great…potatoes, chillies and cheese.

My Bhutanese friends in the usa use a combo of blue cheese and cream cheese. Lots of butter. And they use bigger hot peppers, left whole or just in half.

[@Harpeia]

Ahh that looks beautiful! It WOULD have a different taste if the proper cheese was used but the heat is what should dominate this dish so it shouldn't matter too much. Gosh... when you start approaching my country, I will need to DM you about the recipes. Constant political conflict pushed what's unique to the area so far behind Ottoman cuisine that most people that live here never even heard of it. Apologies in advance, it's a super important topic for those of us that know.

[@Shenorai]

Have you considered trying to make your own farmer's cheese? The simplest version uses milk, lemon juice or vinegar, then whatever seasonings you want for the cheese. I tend to use dill when using lemon juice. What's more? This can easily use Lactaid's lactose-free milk! :D I'm lactose intolerant as well, so that's a fantastic relief when I have a soft cheese craving.

[@forbunnie]

[@judytriplett1924]

You are so very awesome for tackling this project. You are impressive the way you dive in and successfully create so many difficult dishes! One tiny thing - I’m from Texas and it hurts my ears to have jalapeño pronounced like a Yankee. Please pronounce it Ha La Pay Nyo (instead of a long “e” and a hard “n”.) If you get finished with all the countries in the world (it’s a good thing you’re a young man, because it’s going to take forever!) you can try a tour of cuisine in Texas. Tex-Mex, German, Czech, Cajun, Creole, Italian, Asian, Southern, Bar-B-Q (beef, not pork), Seafood, Mexican, African, Caribbean - you name it, Texas has it, especially along the Gulf Coast. Happy cooking!

Could you use ricotta as an alternative to farmers/cottage cheese?

[@ThujizamBhutan]

Wow to your efforts. But Bhutanese don’t throwaway seeds and don’t cook long. Ema datsi takes only 5-10 minutes. 15 minutes is way to long and it kills the whole taste. We put more oil and less of a water to make it stick cheese. 😃

Why not top the Belgian fries with that hot stuff + cheese?

[@pankac6438]

ema datsi is pronounced "eh-ma da-si " bhutanese people nowadays use cheese from cow more. and you can make that at your own house as well. it is relatively easy and you can look up the process on the internet. p.s i dont think cheddar cheese in ema datsi is a good idea. it will change the taste of the dish entirely but you did an amazing job for a beginner

[@ronschlorff7089]

A well-known chef had a food anthropologist on his show, and she said the massive use of chilis in dishes thing in cuisines is to disguise the flavor of rotting meat, or other going- off ingredients in the days before refrigeration. Freshly caught and cooked meat would not be a problem, at any time, but long-term storage is an age-old thing. Thus, most warm climates have spicy food, even today, particularly in the "third world" and tropics world-wide. Food is often "bland" in northern climes though. However, this is a new thing a mountain community that needs a warming veg. stew in the harsh winters it seems. No go for this in our house, got a food allergy, wife, not me in the house, to chilis. Too bad, we are in So AZ, and I get a Mex. fix occasionally; but cannot cook any in the house. Yaks are some kinds of big wooly cow, so any cheeses should work, if you want it a bit "gamey" then I'd add some goat or sheep cheese to the mix. Looks like a good sinus clearer of a dish, that's about it; as far as I'm concerned anyway. :D

Perhaps you might try a series in which you try to perfect a dish you obviously did not make to the standard. Almost any of the pastry dishes would work. The “Jalousie” would be my first suggestion. What you did was sufficient to describe the essence of the pastry, but I have never seen your puff pastry work. Not even the rough puff. I get that your thing is not about perfection-I love that. But, sometimes, it really seems like you should have learned better, on some things, by now. Perhaps, select one recipe, and work it, until it is perfect? Maybe? Wouldn’t that be an interesting video? Find the one that was the most difficult, and that you had to compromise on. Work it. Work it, until it is perfect. That is what chefs do. Making everything poorly once is natural. It is a part of the process. Why stop, because the video was completed?
