Cooking 5 MYSTERY Dishes From Around the World!

[@charlotta8836]

Being from a "Knödel" (bread dumpling) culture in Germany and seeing both the Øllebrød and the Salatat Blankit made me think that an episode all about stale bread recipes from around the world might be interesting

Dane here. In my grandma's recipe for øllebrød the bread soaks in a lot more beer overnight. Traditionally we use hvidtøl, which is a very dark, but sweet kind of beer and our ryebread is also alot darker. She also added slices of fresh orange and a stick of cinnamon in the soaking, and cooking. We would often have øllebrød for dinner with the whipped cream and have the leftovers the next morning. Heated with cold milk on top. I still love it! You should also try Kærnemælkssuppe or in english, Buttermilk soup.

[@lillyess385]

Your grandmother's version makes so much more sense.

[@NullCreativityMusic]

The Belgian Duvel that Beryl used is a more fruity beer, almost banana-ish. That probably threw the flavor off compared to using the proper beer.

[@LouiseLillith]

@@NullCreativityMusic Instead of the hvidtøl, you could use malt beer instead. Personally I just like the hvidtøl better. It's a very unique taste. And with not much alcohol. As kids we were allowed to drink hvidtøl at Christmas

[@mercedesvelasquez8781]

To add we do have that super dark rye bread the kind much darker then berly used but unfortunately not all stores sell it and same for the beer it's only sood at selective liquor markets unless you are willing to pay the extra price to order off line@@LouiseLillith

[@margeoldermann7690]

This is also traditional dessert food in Estonia as well. But we also use very dark rye bread, made with dark mollases and dark beer (sometimes Christmas edition beer) and add raisins and cinnamon. Also there is a version with natural apple juice instead of beer.

[@ellsbells9943]

Retired cook here... boiled eggs: Start in cold water or shells will crack. Bring to boil, reduce to low low, set timer for 10 min. When ready drain water only from pan and add appx 1" cold water, put on lid shake eggs gently cracking shells all around then dump into icy icy ice water. Let sit to cool then - peel the eggs over the bowl of ice water - dipping the eggs so the water helps release the shell. Works most of the time but sometimes you get those stubborn shells. Protip: stir your eggs while boiling to center the yolk. Great for deviled eggs.

[@andreab7445]

If you tap the egg with a spoon with the right pressure the membrane will break but the shell won’t so when you go to peel the shell falls right off.

[@ellsbells9943]

@@andreab7445 ok. 200 eggs. GO!

[@telebubba5527]

I just cook them for the desired time (works with soft yolk as well). Plonk them in cold running water for 30 seconds and then just roll them over the counter and the shell just falls off.

[@ItsJustJakieG]

I was about to comment this! The shell will either fall off in the pot or Tupperware, or it will fall off in huge chunks when you peel!!!

So, when Aditya (from Nepal) was explaining about chokha bread sandwich, I was genuinely so surprised because that's the definition of the regular sandwich that I've eaten since my childhood, here in India (Rajasthan)! Additionally, instead of crisping it in the pan, try making it in the toaster (with ghee, ofcourse!). We use a Toshiba toaster which makes these cute little triangular sandwiches. Love from India. ❤

[@Kay_Watermelon]

I effin cheered at featuring the egg ball!! SOOO good!! Cassava wrapped around nearly anything and fried is an instant win. And the Chokha sandwich looks life-changing. I'm absolutely going to make this. It reminds me of a levelled-up stuffed paratha with only like 10% of the work. And I agree, amchoor is one of the greatest things!!

[@blauskie]

11:50 The final dip determines the outside texture. Flour, batter flour gives a matte exterior (think fried mushrooms). Ending with a liquid gives a smooth texture, as in a battered fish or onion rings.. Multiple layers give thicker coatings. A little corn starch or potato or tapioca starch gives extra crispness. Finishing with really lumpy flour that has been used for repeated dipping, gives chicken extra craggy crunchy bits.

[@Serenity_Dee]

24:04 The best bread for French toast is stale bread. That's why the French name is _pain perdu_ ("lost bread").

I find steaming eggs and immediately putting them in ice water helps. I also pinch the ends after cracking to find the air pocket helps to get under the membrane. I then peel in the ice water. It's not 100% but it helped me out so much.

In the years I've been watching your channel is a miracle that no one has told you to put a little vinegar in the water where you boil your eggs. It makes it easier to peel and it doesn't give it a vinegary taste.

[@pqrs_987]

24:57 i've found that what often works for me, is moving the eggs into a bowl of cold water (NYC cold tap water is enough) straight from the heat, and then peeling them underwater IMMEDIATELY.... it's when you wait to set up your camera(s) and lighting etc that gives time for the shell and membrane to get sticky with the egg... of course, this is all assuming you've boiled your egg perfectly

[@tammyr1350]

I took my hubby there for his Birthday and he loved it! He does not eat fish and still had so many options to choose from. He wants to go back again. Thanks for the review!

[@violetviolet888]

24:56 The key to peeling the shell from eggs is to *start at the bottom of the wide end where there is an air pocket*, crack there and peel a strip to the other end. Peel under a gentle stream of water or peel in a bowl of water, the water will help with peeling by capillary action.

[@mygirldarby]

It also helps to use eggs that are a little older. New eggs are harder to peel.

[@lindyjelphie]

Have never heard of the beer/rye dish, but I feel like subbing hard cider would be delicious.

[@zzizahacallar]

Part 2 please. This was so fun.

[@christinegraham2579]

My hack for boiling eggs is to poke a small hole in the wide end of the egg first. Then you can start them off in cold water if you like. But I bring the water up to the boil & put the lid on the pan & take the pan off the heat. 4-5 minutes for soft yolks, 5-6 minutes for jammy yolks or 10 minutes for hard cooked. Since I don’t have a freezer with an ice maker, I put a metal bowl with water into my freezer about 20-30 minutes before I poke the hole on the eggshell. Then by the time, I’m ready to drain the hot water my cold water is almost frozen. It might have a light skim of ice on the top. I sometimes will slosh the drained eggs in the pan before putting them into the cold water. I let them cool down completely before trying to peel them. They should peel very easily this way

[@melissajohnson4821]

In reference to the mashed potato sandwich, u can also make mashed potato fried tacos or flautas.... yummo

[@President_Starscream]

I have tried so many tricks to peeling boiled eggs and none of them worked for me until I tried adding vinegar to the boil water. That really made peeling significantly easier.

[@mspinchbug8369]

For peeling eggs - use a metal teaspoon. Just lift the shell and shove the spoon in, lifting the white from the shell. Easy-peasy :)

[@rambutketiak]

24:50 my mom taught me to peel egg in water. The reason is to stop the egg from cooking further and it's easier to peel too!

[@coro4ever]

For peeling eggs, one method I use to great success is to crack the bottom of the shell then press gently so that the shell is breaking but still attached to the membrane. I roll it on a counter so that this happens all along the egg. Then, peel in a bowl of water or under cool, running water. The water will seep under the membrane once you start peeling and help separate it from the white.

[@mustwereallydothis]

Please do a boiled egg episode where you test some of the "easy peeling" tricks people have shared. Obviously, we would also expect some cool new recipes using the eggs you peel

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

I first learned about "Øllebrøt" from the Danish movie "Babette's Feast"... Such a great movie!

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

My egg peeling method. Put the cooked eggs in ice water, stir with your hand, as soon as you can stand it start cracking the shells, bonk each end then roll the middle then throw it back in the ice water. Peel them in the water and use it to float away the shells. There is something magical about bonking the egg ends, and water makes the cooked white slippery so you can slide a finger between the layers.

[@staceyn2541]

I tap both ends of the egg, and give it a gentle roll lengthwise. The key is to use the side of your thumb to peel, starting on the flat end. It pushes the shell off instead of picking at it. It's all easier if the eggs are wet. I always peel them straight from the cold water and dip them in it afterwards to clean the last of the shells.

[@dvckduckgoose]

After boiling your eggs put them in ice water for a few minutes, this helps seperate the whites from the shell. I crack them on the top and bottom, then roll the egg on a counter to crack the rest of the shell. Usually i start peeling from the top or bottom and the middle shell should come away in one continuous pull, and dunk in the water to help release the shell and wash off any shards before eating.

[@swit1905]

I bet that Nepalese mashed potato sandwich would be really good in a tortilla too, cooked like a quesadilla (I'm thinking less bread/starch would make for a better ratio) but this was a revelation for me too Beryl, nice find!

😄 The Sunday paper cartoon Blondie often sent mashed potato sandwiches with Dagwood to work for his lunch.

[@Birthguide]

Two things for boiling eggs: I just bought a $15 egg cooker from Costco because we eat a lot of boiled eggs and I hate the packaged ones. It comes with a tool on the bottom of the measuring cup to pierce the egg tops which really helps with steam cooked eggs because that pressure separates the shell from the egg naturally during the cooking process. Beyond that aspect, of all the peeling methods I've tried, my favorite is put them one at a time in an old jam jar with about an inch of water and shake gently. The eggs have to be cool for this to work so when they're done cooking I put them in an ice bath of half ice half water and when the ice is fully melted in about 15-20 minutes they're cool enough to peel. I dunk the jar in the melted ice bath to get about an inch in there, drop an egg in, put the lid on and shake until I can see little bits of shell missing. Tip the whole thing out into my hand and grab a bit of exposed shell and the rest comes off mostly in 1-2 pieces. Dunk the naked egg in the bowl of ice bath water to get any membrane or latent shell crumbs and that's that. The jar trick is just fast, easy and yields a pristine result without a lot of fuss.

[@victoriamahon3765]

Lazy home cook here, The easiest way I found to peel the eggs is how I cook them. I have one of those small Dash egg cookers. It’s so convenient and it makes the eggs super easy to peel. It comes with a little cup with a pin on the end, So to start you poke a hole in the bottom of the egg and then put that side up in the cooker, then the cooker basically seems the eggs. Once they’re done steaming which is super quick, I put them into a cold water bath. By putting a little pinhole in the egg water gets in between the shell in the egg and it feels very very easily. Those egg cookers run about nine dollars usually and they’re totally worth it! And I also like it because I tend to make a lot of potato salad with eggs because that’s one of my family’s favorite dishes at holidays, and you can set your eggs to steam and if you forget about them it shuts itself off so if I’m multitasking and forgetting about them for a few minutes I don’t have to worry about it because it auto shuts off. Highly recommend and you’ll never want to peel an egg another way again!!

[@francespowers4308]

I use a spoon to peel boiled eggs. Use the handle to crack the egg shell, peel off just enough to slide the bowl of the spoon between the shell and the egg, pop off a large piece of shell at a time.

The flour and then egg dip is traditionally used in Korean cooking - try it with fish or chicken pieces and small meat patties. It's really good and somehow 'stretches' the protein while stopping it from drying out without the oiliness of the usual crumbs. Less mess as well! Evidently it's a technique in Persian cooking too.

[@minakshimishra4213]

things that have helped me, eggs peel way easier when they are warm so try to cool down the egg to the point where you can handle them. start by cracking from the bottom where there is air pocket thay will give you a nice opening to peel further when there is no easy way out, use a spoon that has thin edges and use that to peel.

[@barbaramiller349]

Eggs the way I do them. First you need older eggs. Not super fresh. Like a week old or so. Put them in heavy metal pot and cover with water, put on stove and bring to boil, once boiling put lid on pan, turn heat down to a low bowl and time for 8 minutes. Immediately drain off hot water and start running them under cold water. Peel them under a stream of cold water. You have to try to get the water under the membrane for it to work. It’s very easy once you get the hang of it. I’ve tried every method out there and this is my best way. I’m 67 so I have been making hard boiled eggs for a few years😉💕.

[@AchsahMarleneAruva]

Dip the boiled eggs with the shell in ice cold water. Then tap it on the counter and roll it gently with your palm. The white of the eggs has this thin layer that sticks with the shell and comes out neatly as a whole. Always works for me!

[@alan11121959]

Beryl...water always wins, run the water from the tap, start peeling the egg under the running water and let it help peel the shell from the egg. The water helps slip the membrane between the shell and egg off the egg itself. I usually STEAM my hard cooked eggs as steam is hotter than boiling water and is a more gentle heat, with less jossling, that surrounds the egg. A steamer basket with a handle makes it safe and easy to remove them from the pan, and for me 15 minutes in the steam should suffice.

[@afterbirth5733]

I've never made a mashed potato sandwich before, but I have made a potato salad sandwich a couple of times. Also, I have had potato chips and French fries on sandwiches that also had meat in them before.

[@glennjpanting2081]

Hey Beryl! I used to have a hell of a time peeling hard-cooked eggs too, but I recently discovered a new method that (so far) seems to be very reliable: don't boil them ... STEAM them! Yes, believe it or not, you can cook eggs with steam! Put them in a steamer basket with a lid on top of a pot of boiling water, and steam them for 15 minutes. When they are done, immediately move them into a pot of tap-cold water (ice water isn't necessary) for TWO MINUTES, no more. You just want them cool enough to handle, but not so cold that the inner membrane cements itself to the shell and makes it impossible to remove, which seems to be the problem you're having. After two minutes in the cold water, tap them on the counter to crack the shells all the way around, and the shells should almost fall off! I've made them this way several times now, and I haven't lost an egg yet! Good luck!

[@kbmaure]

I love your Goblins shirt, I was trying to do a Google search looking for one for myself! That yuca egg recipe looks delicious.

[@clairej499]

I find with boiled eggs, crack on a table the whole way around and then put the eggs under water while you peel. The membrane between the shell and the egg gets water between it and comes off easier😊 learned this while working in a kitchen shelling boiled quail eggs. Hope it works for you!

[@sarahmihuc3993]

I finally figured out how to easily (and perfectly) peel eggs recently: 1. Keep them in the cold water bath until you peel them, and let them cool completely - I did this after taking a break for almost an hour and it worked really well! 2. Get the egg nice and cracked all over into small segments of shell, before starting to peel. I do this by rolling it gently on the counter and feeling how cracked it is, you want small pieces evenly all over - then you can just peel it all off by getting under the membrane without any egg white coming off or getting stabbed by shards of shell in the process.

[@GwynneDear]

Chef here 🙋🏼‍♀️ The trick to easy peeling hard boiled eggs is use old eggs. Really fresh eggs are impossible to peel. But older eggs have started breaking down, so the white doesn’t stick to the membrane of the shell. If you do have to peel fresh hard boiled eggs, crack the shell really well, get part of the shell going with your fingers, then use a spoon to go in between the membrane and the white. That being said, if you have farm fresh eggs, under a week old, make scrambled eggs, or sunny side up, or anything but hard boiled. They won’t peel for love or money.

I came here to say the same thing. If you know you are going to be making boiled eggs for any reason, buy a carton and just let it sit in the fridge for at least a week before using 😂

I think the trick is to put room temp eggs in boiling water and then ice bath once the eggs are cooked. It always peels perfectly.

[@carmenrose8986]

Not entirely true, I have chickens and I boil eggs laid the same day and they peel perfectly everytime. I think it has more to do with temperature. Eggs purchased from the store are already kind of old when compared to when they were laid.

Just a heads up for those wanting to make their own self-raising flour, most brands also have added salt, so you need to add salt in addition to baking powder :)

I’m happy that I got to see a Tunisian recipe on this amazing channel ❤ thanks !

[@onegsoul]

I believe you have an Instant Pot Beryl, use that for cooking your eggs. There's a method called 5:5 which is 5 minutes pressure, then 5 minutes natural release (I prefer 4 minutes for both). Before pressure cooking, be sure to use the rack on the bottom, and add a cup of water.. the eggs go on the rack. Once cooked, I dump everything in the sink, this cracks the eggs. From there, there shells often come off in one piece. So easy!

We had mandazi in Uganda, where the people we stayed with just called them “mandaz.” They told us they were only made with green oranges, and I’ve been wanting to make them here in the US but haven’t been able to without the green oranges! Excited to try the Kenyan version with lemon.

For eggs that peel cleanly like 90% of the time, start with eggs straight from the fridge. Gently lower them into rapidly boiling water with a slotted spoon. Adjust heat so that the water is gently simmering and set your timer for the doneness you want. Hard boiled but not chalky is 10-12 min. When the time is up, immediately plunge eggs into ice bath. For eggs you want to eat cold, leave in ice bath for about 10 min. For warm eggs (like for topping ramen), a quick dunk in the ice water just until cool enough to handle is good. Peel under gently running water.

[@jordy8059]

This is pretty much exactly how I do it, but my lazy ass keeps them at a boil, skips the ice bath, and just peels them under cold running water. Honestly I feel like the most important thing in peeling eggs is to crack the bottom first, and then make sure the water gets under the membrane.

Beryl, if you have a stale baguette or bread roll drizzle water over it and put it in an air fryer, oven or toaster oven and it will come back to life. Warning though, eat it straight away because it'll go stale quite quickly again. Love your content x

It was the wrong type of beer for øllebrød, and that makes a lot of difference taste wise. In Denmark we use a type of beer called hvidtøl. Though the name translates to whitebeer it is actually very dark with a malty and sweet taste. It is low in alcohol usually under 2% ABV. Also Danish rye bread makes it much better - the bread used in the video was too light in color.

Using Duvel (Belgian bitter highly hopped VERY strong beer 9% alcohol) amazed me a bit for using it in a Danish dish. I am proud of this Belgian beer but not for making porridge!

[@tinevindfeldnielsen6685]

@@Dutchbelg3 Belgian beer is good and even a Danish Carlsberg would be wrong in this dish. I think a Guinness would work for øllebrød, if you lower the amount of beer and then add more water and a little ekstra sugar

[@addykins2]

I Think vitamalz from Germany would work aswell. But this was not øllebrød at all. It needs a remake tbh. Also we had it with æggesnaps (eggyolks and sugar beaten till pale yellow) aswell as whipped cream when i was a kid.

I need more Beryl singing famous songs to food related lyrics!

[@sally-annmales9964]

In Australia we have always used flour before egg to coat food and then the crumb. An unusual flavour you described . I like your videos

[@ella4frell]

Love savory stale bread recipes :) Pappa al pomodoro got me through a very rough year of college. It’s basically tomato sauce and stale bread stew lol

I liked seeing Leah in this episode and your interactions. I hope to see her more in the future 🤍

On your advise I bought Maggi hot,and sweet,and though I really like the taste it is a little to sweet for me,so l experimented with it,and found it to be a great ingredient in soup making,especially when beans are in the soup.i am on my second large bottle now.I have also used it mixed with sour cream,and cilantro chutney as a dip,or spread.Thank you for the suggestion.I am going to check the Bangladeshi supermarkets by me for the Maggie tamarind sauce.

Advice for zesting lemons etc. Have the zester on top so you can see when to turn the lemon
