HUGE thank you to Devanshi, Kotryna, Genie, Tere and Jeseper for sharing their foods with us.
Spam Episode: • How People Eat Spam | ...
Genies Omurice recipe:
1. Dry fry the diced spam first because there is plenty of oil and fat in it already.
2. Chop up the kimchi and Stir fry it in a little flavorless oil until it’s hot and translucent.
3. Mix the spam, kimchi, ketchup and rice together and stir fry using a little oil. I like to get the rice a little crispy on the bottom.
4. While the fried rice is going, in an omelette pan, make a very simple, thin, flat omelette. I usually used 2 beaten eggs with a tiny bit of salt and pepper.
5. Add fried rice to a plate and add omelette over it. Add more ketchup to taste. I bet kewpie mayo would be amazing on it. I like to add some furikake or green onion or crushed nori on top for garnish.

For Kotryna's Grikiai:
"Cheapest option in the dorms used to be to pour boiling water and some salt on to grikiai. Chop up onion, a clove of garlic and cabbage and grate some carrot. Fry it all on butter till everything softens. Drain grikiai and put it in the pan together with vegetables. Now you can show your creativity. Add a packet of ramen seasoning or soup powder. Maybe you have a some ketchup or soy sauce. Some people like canned smoked sprats. Maybe you have cheese! Hot sauce?"

second that, it is extreamly facinating what one can do with a ricecooker and I would love to get to know more variety there, than I am myself brave enough to invent. I mostly just cook rice, millet or wildrice with barberries or make congee and their like in mine, or steam something.

[@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

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.

[@TNZO1]

Can I use regular vinegar instead of balsamic vinegar?

@@TNZO1 yes, its the acid you need. Balsamic vinegar is often a bit more sweet and do add to onions but it works with any vinegar

Hi 👋 Jane, how are you doing?

[@janehall2720]

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

[@Hwasasthroneismyface]

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

[@XwynntopiaX]

Beryl and her delicious shows makes it quite easy to sit in front of the computer here at the kitchen table, eat toast with toppings, rice and eggs, etc., and "veg" out for a couple hours. Thanks! Love your show!

[@KryptidKat]

Yes! I would love rice cooker recipes cause I just got one for my bday and i want to try stuff out wit it!!

[@latebloomerabroad]

I love the Danish guy, he's so funny!

[@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? 😂

[@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

[@josealiriorivas]

hahaha Rie being part of the cooking culture around the world! NICEEE

Went to University do Mississippi for my PhD in history. I’m a history professor and I’m all in on the Kim Chee, egg, and Spam recipe

[@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.

just watching how people survive is fascinating..sometimes I am ashamed of what I am eating particularly when I am struggling financially. watching this makes me realize that we are not so different after all. being able to adapt whatever available resources is a great skill

[@alainadacosta1222]

Great video idea! I never experienced this as I commuted and now live in an apt but it’s nice to see a shared experience by many all over the world

[@shawnsisler3743]

Got a new adjective for you, Beryl... Toothsome. It means tasty, delicious, or yummy, in appearance, smell, or flavor. I learned it in a book when I was a teen and never forgot about it. It's just so on-point.

[@malkalopez1641]

Thanks for always spicing up my meals, Beryl! 💜 Your ending question was funny because it’s true. I studied journalism and I now work in child development 🤩

[@cloudwaveASMRsleepsounds]

I love the way you help people share their culture through food. Just absolutely wonderful and very much needed in our world.

[@caricheng]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@nyclovesmusic]

I feel like your videos are the only cook videos that actually inspire me to cook new dishes! Thank you so much!!

[@piecesofmind9853]

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

[@erinhowett3630]

Beryl killing it on the content uploading 👌👌

[@marychristensen8596]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching it every chance I get. Thanks for all of the great ideas, I love your format and all of the choices you've made to keep yourself going over the last two years. I am going to make several of these dishes and eat while I'm watching more of your videos. :)

[@devilinsideanangel]

Ahhh I really love these videos . I think your open mindedness and big heart are my fav parts for sure

[@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 😃

[@cutebunch1235]

This video is really helpful for upcoming college students including me!

[@adelaprisacaru3905]

I simply love your channel. The amount of inspiration you can get it's astonishing and humbling. Thank you for doing this!

[@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

[@takinastabatit]

Yum, these all look so good :D I studied accounting, worked as a professional tax preparer for a while, and now I am a feral farm goblin who answers only to the ducks and chickens hahaha

[@mahekpradhanani6781]

Beryl ! You should do a video on recreating dishes that YOU made in a microwave as a university student.

[@odettestroebel3135]

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 ❤️❤️

[@johnnytsunami420]

I love how Beryl takes a lot of care and work to even edit the music for the community video portions. She takes good care to highlight her community ✨️

[@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.🙂

[@jenb2821]

Ahh college memories 😃 Yes! Rice cooker and crockpot recipes?!

[@tabithawestbrook9683]

Went to school for psychology. Had a detour to pharmaceutical industry for 22 years, then went back to school & got my masters. Now I'm a mental health counselor! Love these episodes. Made mamaliga tonight for dinner!

[@joycedigitaldiary]

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! ❤️

[@ireneonly]

The spam fried rice is a recipe i learned in the pandemic. Im trying the egg rice tomato hack

[@lizryan7451]

Funny enough, I never actually did much cooking in college! I would go home on weekends and bring leftover food to heat up, and I had a meal plan to eat at the cafeteria and restaurants on campus. It's a big change from now, when I do all the cooking in my family 😆 (I got my degree in psychology but I went back to school to get certified as a medical coder, which is what I do now). I think my main takeaway from this video is that I need to get more creative with my rice cooker!

[@ConniieBearrr]

This was a fun video and easy recipes to recreate! Love it!! I for sure would recreate the kimchi fried spam rice with omelette!

[@anushkajamal]

Cant wait to try those 2 rice dishes! Was thinking what to do with my leftover rice & ta da! Thank you Beryl

[@soysauce3551]

Another Filipino easy meal: Hot piping rice + Milo + Powdered Milk = Heaven.

[@songindarkness]

Milo ❤️❤️❤️

[@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!

[@The_Noblesse]

Im glad I found your channel, I just want to say, I appreciate how you showcase and bring awareness of different food culture, also... unlike other KZbin channel, you tried affordable food, where its easy to find ingredients. Also thx for sharing the ingredients used, so we too can try it.

[@anumita4470]

Thanks for making such videos, it’s really nice to get some great hostel food ideas from around the world.

[@rustyarmendariz1584]

Tip to getting onions to caramelize quicker is to add salt to them as u fry them

[@torioriorio1998]

Came here to say the exact same thing! 👌🏻

[@rustyarmendariz1584]

@@torioriorio1998 You know what they say about great minds ;)

[@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.

[@beatricedelima6677]

I randomly found this channel and now it’s my favorite thing on KZbin!! more recipes to try!

[@PhysiqueQuantique]

This video brought back so many memories of limited kitchen cooking! I went to school for piano performance and vocal accompanying, and I am now... a collaborative pianist performing and working with both instrumentalists and singers! I feel very lucky to be doing this work.
