I Tested the MOST Viral Tiktoks Yet - Salmon Rice Bowl, Vegan Bacon, Eggs en Cocotte, Devil Eggs

[@ashipper8223]

Yeah, the salmon rice bowl is just deconstructed onigiri or triangle gimbab. I'm not surprised it tasted pretty good.

[@itsdonuttime7729]

Yeah there have been lots of commentary about what you said and other cultural factors to the dish.

[@JennyWas13]

That’s literally the point though? She’s not claiming for it to be a special new thing it’s meant to taste like a spicy salmon roll without the effort of making any spicy salmon roll

[@thetiredworm2100]

😆yes! And it looks so good I definitely want to try it

[@Aivas1]

Yeah whenever my family makes salmon on the grill we usually have leftovers so I just put some in a bowl with rice, heat it up, put some lemon juice and soy sauce on it, top it with avocado, and eat. As long as the fish isn't overcooked it should be great.

[@Yehitsknu]

David, for the second recipe you might want to look at Marbled Tea Eggs - a traditional Asian recipe that involved boiling eggs (as soft or as hard as you wish), cracking them and seeping them in tea, soy sauce, salt, sugar and SPICES. They are easy to make and have the same cool marbled look as the Halloween Deviled Eggs you've made in this video but without artificial food colouring and are properly seasoned. As for the Salmom Rice 😂 I resonate with you. The dish is just a long-existed college dorm food item, and it could taste much better if the rice is stir-fried and seasoned instead of being microwaved 😂 I'm drooling at the egg and cheese bowl though! 😍 That legit looks tasty. Nobody can resist eggs cheese and bread!

[@karinahellesoy]

yes, it's very possible to overcook hard boiled eggs! the yolk gets greenish and the whites gets rubbery also, both eggs and avocado needs at least salt, so i can't imagine how those eggs tasted without it

[@bsidethebox]

[@amandadesantiago6158]

@@Appaddict01 yes, but it's not enough to balance the entire mix when you have two ingredients that really need it. just a pinch of salt into that would make a difference.

I thought the elephant in the room was how the deviled egg filling 'magically' turned intense forest green when avocados are a yellow-green and then mixed with pale non-green ingredients.

[@cheyenneoliver5184]

@@Kazenikatze Huh, I thought about that, but I thought that coconut would've been too strong a taste for it to be an effective butter substitute. Though I suppose palm oil is also another possibility, as it's another plant-based fat that's solid at room temperature.

[@cheyenneoliver5184]

@@pallasproserpina4118 Yeah, that's basically what margarine is too. Most of all plant fats is liquid at room temperature, and have to be hydrogenated (having a hydrogen atom bonded to the molecule) in order to solidify it. The only exceptions are coconut and palm oil, which are, as far as I know, the only plant oils that stay solid at room temp.

There is a Jamaican dish called Dirty Rice which is rice cooked with various vegetables, cubed pumpkin, sliced okra, sliced peppers, sliced onions, and salt fish. The salt fish is just salt cured cod that's rehydrated. I'm sure there is also coconut milk in there as well as a multitude of seasoning. That's what that viral rice trend reminds me of.

My mother found a recipe for deviled eggs back in the late 70's (well before I was born), that involves Thousand Island dressing (or ketchup, mayo, and pickled relish [if I make mine I sometimes leave out the relish]). She of course uses salt, pepper, and some paprika to flavor the cooked egg yolks as well. I've tried other deviled eggs (usually with the mustard and mayo mixture) but these are the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Plus the reddish color makes you think 'devil'.

Yes, Dear! You can overcook and egg and it shows both in the color of the yolk and in its flavor. The yolk gets this greenish-grayish rim that gets deeper and darker, depending on how long you overcooked the eggs. And the whole egg tastes weird and smells sulfurous. I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@RowanWolf22]

I feel a bit confused because I swear 2-3 years ago everyone was saying that re-heating rice is dangerous and bad and can give you poisoning. (Which is funny because literally all of asia loves their rice and often do reheat rice since they don't believe in wasting food)

[@rebeccas2801]

I think the issue stems from reheating fried rice from a takeaway. Since fried rice is made from precooked and cooled rice so the second reheat that you do at home is too long since it was first cooked and it becomes risky from a bacteria point of view. But cooking your own rice then reheating it is a different thing
