When using that much water you need to make sure you use low-sodium or diet water. Regular water contains too much dihydrogen monoxide which will ultimately leave your finished meal rather bland and watery.

Im amazed no one else has said this in the comments yet but I will Sho Yu how to cook this awesome chicken recipe

[@TheTelblackwell]

I'm doing this later this evening

[@stonefly69]

My take on a full recipe: Shoyu chicken (That Dude Can Cook) Ingredients • 4-6 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on • 1 1/2 cups water • 1 cup soy sauce • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar • 1 tbsp rice vinegar • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, cut into slices • 5 garlic cloves, smashed but whole • 7 spring onions, chopped in large chunks • Garnish with sesame seeds • Slurry of cornstarch to thicken (1T - 1.5T mixed with cold water) • White rice for service Directions Add water, soy sauce, aromatics, sugar, vinegar to a pot large enough to hold the chicken. Trim fat from chicken, add chicken to pot and marinate for 24 hours or so. Bring pot to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes and rotate chicken. Simmer for another 15 minutes and check temp to see if thighs are at 180F. If so, turn off heat and let thighs sit in pan for at least 30 minutes. Remove thighs to broiler pan and broil for 3-4 minutes, to brown and crisp skin. Remove aromatics from pot, heat to boiling, add cornstarch slurry and thicken Serve chicken on white rice, ladling sauce on top.

[@0509kj]

Thanks for this - I love that dude's videos and but having to watch along as I'm actually cooking is no fun so I started writing them out like this too when I want to make one.

[@SlothfulJim]

Thanks, I've copy and pasted that for the next time it's my turn to cook.👍👍👍

[@funkyskitchen]

A technique I often use for cornstarch slurries is to remove a small amount of the sauce and let it come to room temp, then use it to build my slurries. Do you think it would work here? Any comments, please.

[@stonefly69]

@@funkyskitchen Cold liquid usually dissolves cornstarch best, but give it a go and see!

[@funkyskitchen]

@@stonefly69 That's why I separate a portion of the stock (usually about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) and let it cool to room temp before building the slurry. I suppose the next time I do it, I can see if refrigerating the liquid will make any difference. My main focus is on keeping the dish as flavorful and undiluted as possible.

I just want to say how much i appreciate this channel and others like it. We truly live in the golden age of home cooking. I really like that these videos often give the why as to the use of certain ingredients or techniques. That kind of knowledge is how we learn to actually cook when there is no video or instructions to be seen. Keep up the good work!

[@PoeLemic]

@Sprak ... Very good coinage -- the "Golden Age of Home-Cooking". Hell, yes, I agree with you. It is TOO DAMNED EXPENSIVE to eat out. So, we are learning to do it all at home. See, during Covid, we were forced to cook at home, so we did and had a good amount of time to learn how to really cook. Before we were good home-cooks, but now, wife and I are becoming home-chefs. Because we are not gonna go out and spend FUCKING $15 bucks for a single plate of this for one person, when -- look at video -- how easy it is to do at home.

[@michaelsantoro170]

Sonny, i couldnt be a bigger fan. I had the benefit of growing up in a family that taught me how to cook at a young age, and then worked in a kitchen for a bit after HS. Once i hit college, i was pretty much the only person in my dorm who would cook- and there was a reason for that. So many people are simply afraid to mess up, and a lot of the "teachers", even out here on social media, are snobs and make even simple dishes really intimidating for someone just trying to pick up the craft and make some decent food. You're the exact opposite- every recipe is presented in such a streamlined way, and you let people know that substitutions can be made- you create a really inviting energy where, even If i know hiw to make the dish already, its just a pleasure to watch your take on it. Ive gained a lot of inspiration from your videos over the years- and im even a bigger fan of you spreading awareness and trying to rally the troops to support Hawaii. I cant believe (not to get political) how the US government just ignored their pwn people, its disgraceful on their end, but youre a mensch. I just was discharged from the hospital a few hours ago and was in a really bad place physically and mentally- Your video really just made life a lot more palatable. Thankyou, seriously. And yes, I did infact teach a lot of people with no experience in the kitchen the basics, and I normally take your approach to showing them the ropes. There's probably 15 people roaming around this rock that I inspired to cook, and that makes me happy (seeing them post their dishes or send me snaps- it's very rewarding in a weird way)- you've inspired hundreds of thousands of people to make a nice meal for themselves or loved ones. I hope you realize all the good you do, you deserve the success.

You're still pretty young, Thomas. I didn't get started till well until my 40s. At 74, I now have a rep as a very good home cook and I am still learning. So keep going. It's so much fun.

[@whodoesntluvpapas]

@@thomaslove6494 My aunt and uncle didn't start cooking till the pandemic (in their 60s!)

thankyou for your compassion and thoughts to support maui. my respect for you has increased ten fold. aloha from hawaii.

[@blackcatiswatchingyou7776]

I appreciate when people explain what a particular ingredient is doing and why it works. Once you understand that, not only can you (almost) always find a substitute, but sometimes come up with new amazing creations with no script at all. Also if you eat rice often and have the space, just get a rice cooker, even a $15 one. It just simplifies cooking and cleanup and you can focus on other dishes.

[@agoogleuser4356]

Price cookers are $15 anymore. Try $45 for the small size. Seen in my local Japanese market. Edit Target has one for $19.

[@agoogleuser4356]

I looked up rice cookers and there is a $19 one for 4 cups of rice at target. Warning you have to click through from the ad on the Google page. I clicked on another cheaper one at target but it was 25 in reality on the target site

[@whodoesntluvpapas]

100% true. And if you have the space, and drink tons of tea, get a boiler or hot water dispenser (I LOVE my zojirushi.) These things are hard to justify buying when you're younger, until you use them and realize how amazing they are.

[@u2bist]

Been loving these videos for months. You are a great teacher and whenever I try your dishes they come out great. Special THANK YOU for giving some attention to Maui. They need the help. Aloha!

[@JasonMorford]

I made this almost exactly how you said. I didn't have rice vinegar to my surprise so I used red wine vinegar. I also added chili paste for a bit of spice and made it a few ways, served regularly like your picture, topped with sememe seeds, and topped with both. I made rice with a rice cooker, my first time ever. It all turned out amazing, but next time I plan on making it Spicier and the sauce thicker.

[@MrPaulicka]

Heya! :) I've tried the recipe, and the final result was really tasty - I recommend everyone to give it a try. The few changes I made are: I added one regular white onion to the brine (just peeled and quartered), I dialed down the soy sauce volume (this might be an issue with "freedom units" conversion, or using more salty soy sauce) to about 120ml, and after cooking, I didn't strain the aromatics, just took the bigger pieces of ginger out and used a blender to thicken the sauce. I also added 1 teaspoon of honey at this point, which was a good decision. I skipped the cornstarch slurry, as the consistency was pretty much right after my previous steps. Overall, it was delicious, especially considering the worktime needed - thanks for sharing this recipe!

[@mattwilson7443]

This is exactly what I was thinking! Glad to know it turned out

This is actually a hit with the family. Any salty, spicy or tangy style recipes they tend to like, but arent a fan of anything sweet. This is easy, simple, and really good as a sauce over rice by itself or with the chicken.

[@cheehee808_]

A lot of our local cuisine here is shoyu/soy sauce plus sugar lol. I think it stemmed from the plantation days when folks would use whatever they had available and we had soy sauce from Japan and a lot of sugar from the sugar mills. You can also use the same recipe for fatty pork chunks and make Okinawa shoyu pork using this same broth. Also very delicious imo. Swap it out for chuck roast cut up into strips and add hot chili peppers and you can make Hawaiian style hot meat.

Brown sugar is just white, granulated sugar which has molasses added to it, the amount determines light or dark. If you need dark brown and have light or white, just add a little "black" molasses (it keeps in your cabinet forever and is good for lots of things) to get your sweetness/color where you want it. 😉

[@jonh74]

I've tried to make brown sugar with white sugar and molasses and it tastes nothing like brown sugar

[@MtnBadger]

@@jonh74 That's a process and not one u said was duplicated by just mixing them together. However, if you're cooking/baking and require brown sugar, adding the sugar you have and a small amount of molasses (the black-strap, sweet molasses) should approximate the flavor profile you're looking for. 😉

[@inspectorraycharles]

A few years ago I started cooking all my rice dishes with chicken bouillon. I also rinse it under hot water for a minute or so in a strainer while shifting it around throughly. I also sear the rinsed rice in a hot sauce pan with a generous tablespoon or two of unsalted butter, carefully swirling it around until it almost burns and then adding the bouillon flavored water and deglazing the pan scrapping any thing that stuck to the bottom. Bring it to a rolling boil continually stirring to prevent sticking. I cover it with a tight fitting lid and with a layer of aluminum foil. I set it on a burner at the lowest setting for about twenty minutes. I've had a lot of people appreciate this rice and it's almost good enough to eat by itself. Cheers!

I grate and mince every aromatic for full flavor release and nutrient release and use a very fine mesh to filter the stock or base.

For this dish, I’d have incorporated them into a homemade cornbread or keep them in a refrigerated container for near future use. I could also use a dehydrator and turn the pulp into a spice after it fully dries and I grind it up.

Similar to Chicken Adobo, but add a little more vinegar, no sugar and add Bay Leave. Also DELICIOUS.

[@WoeWoeWoe]

Looks so good 😍 A+ editing btw, I lol’d multiple times

[@josereyna8885]

It’s the first time I’ve seen this channel. I completely enjoyed it; the recipe was easy, the result was delicious, the video was cleverly humorous, and it included a great cause. I look forward to viewing other videos. Thank you! 🧑🏽‍🍳🧑🏽‍🍳🧑🏽‍🍳

Uncle Roger just rolled over in his grave when you tossed that Rice Cooker to the side... Hai Yaaa!.

[@geneshepard9728]

You are so much fun to watch and what a great chef!!! Marcus is also a great video guy!, he really does you justice!!!!! I have been watching you for years- you keep getting better! Thank you for all of your hard work--keep it up!!! Also-thanks for the Maui Support!

[@radmed979]

Dude, I just found your channel and really enjoy...so many ideas. The way put recipes together, you make it so simplified. Thank you great videos....

[@keithbrown9198]

Solid techniques. I spent 3 years in the Philippines and that nail trick to measure rice to water is one I learned early on, I never use a rice cooker. Also, the recipe is very close to Chicken Adobo (which may be where it came from), and everyone has their own version of it. It's super simple and always delicious.

I always appreciate the "use what you have" attitude.

I also have an amazing trick for the ginger: i skip the peeling altogether, just a quick rince, ppl never notice. Just cut or grate the ginger as it is.

[@marshalee7967]

I love this recipe! I had a cheap cut pork blade. I used that instead of chicken. I had regular onions I and wanted to get rid of them so I used them. Also I cooked in the oven. It was so delicious! I made a side of fried rice which paired well with all the soy sauce 😋

[@tridsonline]

👍🏻 Great 10+10 method for the rice, thanks! I usually do my rice in a pressure cooker (for yummy glutinous results) .. but this method with the same ratio of rice to water is so much easier, as is the clean up. I'm already looking forward to my next batch!

[@honey23b2]

This is fantastic!… I cooked this last night. Following total instructions!.. it’s perfect, . I’ll cook for friends tomorrow. This guy is great!

[@branchbrown3790]

Just made these for a Valentines dinner. It was fantastic. Thank you so much.

[@Hudson_Brooks]

Dude! Just made this for the family tonight. It went down a treat. The five year even asked for more! Only discovered your channel a few weeks back but im sticking around. You've a new fan from New Zealand!

[@iandalton3839]

I always use excess water method for cooking rice and usually pull it before 10 minutes. I usually give it 4 lukewarm washes and one cold wash before cooking. It also has never failed

[@jeffryice3854]

TV cook. As a professional retired chef, I have never thrown away any type of skins or outer coverings when making a sauce if I was taking the aromatics out. You are wasting flavor. Sauces, gravies, soups and stocks, why waste ingredients? That was a very simple sauce to make, it is a very tasty sauce, but simple. I did like the fact you took the time to show people how to make rice the correct way. Broiling the chicken afterwards is a sign of good training. Do yourself a favor and think about your food waste. The food looked really tasty, and I loved the presentation, and I loved the showmanship. Keep up the good work, subbed and will be watching you for more.

[@TheRocket8126]

Finally made this and I'm mad I waited so long! Delicious and easy as it gets! Thank you!!!!!

[@cheesy6516]

Sonny, I truly appreciate your humor. Thank you for passing along great weeknight recipes with an added bit of comedy.

[@MrRivas58]

I'm a chef but you're my inspiration for creating new recipes! Love it dude

[@soldoutclothing]

Thank you for this, Rice technique is def the way! I use 2 1/2 + a splash of water to 2 cups rice but additionally after rinsing let the rice soak in water for at least 30 minutes before rinsing and adding water to cook. Being from hawaii, I look forward to trying your shoyu recipe I’ve tried baking and crock pot so many diff ways but this looks great.

[@markpukey8]

Ok, this totally looks like something that belongs on my "easy dinner" list! Going to give it a try this week!

[@enegron6987]

Incredibly awesome!! The finger trick is old school, that’s how my grandma taught me years ago. Perfect rice EVERY time ✨💫💎

[@ohErza]

I simply love your videos. It was a highlight of the pandemic for me 😅 ive seen many people make mistakes during that time but id always have a smile on my face when You'd beat up your fridge

[@drnivek]

The video appeared in my feed the other day. Obsessed about it so in the middle of a rainstorm, ran to the store to get scallions and thighs. Delicious! Next time, might do lime juice instead of rice vinegar. And maybe toss some fresh cilantro into the rice just before serving.

[@raymondtele]

I love this recipe! I make rice in a pot too. Seasoning your rice with some salt and a splash of rice vinegar really brings up its flavors.

[@Win7ermu7e]

Doesnt the skin get kinda gummy from the braising ? I would think this is a skin off dish unless you are going to sear it off.

[@DJazium]

DUDE this is your best (and funniest) video yet! I'm super stoked to read your book.

[@mariannefischer3613]

There are many channels with good recipes. The recipes on this channel are better than good. I especially like all the little tips that make me a better cook.

[@briannw1973]

Made this tonight, everyone loved it! enjoy your channel.

[@FernZepeda]

Reminds me of an adobo with less vinegar and more aromatics. I can't wait to try this. Ty and happy new year!!

[@jeremyhepler2424]

Just ran across this recipe. Really glad a cook that I follow, you, have a version of it. Planning on making this for some family coming over for dinner soon, paired with some sauteed baby bok choy and pineapple.

[@deadbird44]

I'm making this right now it smells delicious thanks for sharing easier dishes I love to cook and I'm excited to see how this turns out
