Deep Fried Pork Cutlet from Cooking Mama | Arcade with Alvin

[@uria3679]

Please do the Mango Pudding next because it’s the hardest one

[@dr.downvote]

Harder than my …..?

[@tgnm9615]

*Oh no* ,the pudding wont come out or will bounce of the plate lol

[@onyxcosmium6586]

JaidenAnimations can attest to this

[@mangopudding7245]

Wait you want him to do what?

[@1224chrisng]

it's super easy in real life, just mix jelly powder with evapourated milk

[@MatthiaGryffine]

I really would like to see Anime with Alvin do some foods from Sailor Moon. Given how much she eats, I'm shocked that it hasn't been featured yet.

[@kroketbanana1792]

I remember watching Usagi/Serena eat some takoyaki and thinking she was was boiled potatoes with toothpicks 🐙 i believe I saw this on or the movies, the one about an astronomer and a woman from the moon. a takoyaki episode could be fun!

[@XPsychowaffleX]

I'm so glad you clarified the pork being allowed to be barely pink. I'm always paranoid about undercooked pork and even when the thermometer says it's over 140 I still think it's undercooked and like 30 extra seconds is all it takes to make it dry...makes me feel better 😂

[@WintersMinion]

Yeah pork is no where as unsafe as it used to be since pigs aren't fed slop anymore but actual pig feed.

[@coreturkoane5570]

I agree with you

[@yungwildnfree]

@@WintersMinion Huh what? Can you rephrase this for non foreigners? What happened to the pigs before they where „actually fed“ thanks.

[@WintersMinion]

@@yungwildnfree So pigs are not picky eaters and can be cannabalistic the people that raised them would take advantage of this by feeding the pigs what ever food leftovers they had including meat and vegetables that have gone bad this caused pork to be very unsafe unless you cooked it to a high enough temperature and caused pork to have a bad reputation. Since about the 1950's they started feeding pigs food developed specifically for them the same way you will see with cows and chickens this along with inspections of the meat has led to pork being a lot safer to eat.

[@GiraffeFlavored]

You can eat medium rare pork. It's not like chicken, it's safe to eat basically raw. Trichinosis has been almost entirely eradicated in the west.

[@strycian]

This dish has a special place in my heart. 25 years ago it was the first Japanese food I ate on our first date with the woman I would end up marrying.

[@benroolz]

FYI the bread used for panko isn't traditionally baked, it's electrified between two electrodes, which is why it's so light and flakey

[@Krysta1Rose]

Adam Ragusea has a video on this! Really informative

[@yepthatsegg3604]

man i wanna try tazer bread!! lol

[@saschawiemann5293]

@@yepthatsegg3604 tazer bread is best for breading - just buy panko from your supermarket

[@Timmycoo]

@@yepthatsegg3604 Such a cooler name than panko. lol.

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

Plenty of actual Japanese people simply use bread crumbs for panko, as "panko" quite literally translates to "bread crumbs". It is traditionally baked and shredded. You're thinking of corporate/factory/sometimes-restaurant types of panko. Please do your research before you spread false information.

[@Mr.Misfit2814]

Alvin, can you make the pumpkin soup from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword? It is pumpkin spice season after all! Great video by the way!

[@ragebb8]

ahhh that would be awesome! 🎃🧡

[@nickhawkinson]

Pumpkin soup from Twilight Princess clears tbh

[@__dane__]

Twilight Princess one would be better because we know more ingredients

[@javagirl98]

While he’s at it, he should make grandma’s soup from windwaker!

@@javagirl98 (looks at the Unofficial Zelda Cookbook I have) (wonders if I should tell them both those soups are in that book)

[@maya-gur695]

This type of cooking game is so nostalgic for me! I used to play similar games all the time when I was younger.

[@ghifariasoka8272]

Same. I think it's where I got my cooking hobby from

[@montanajackson3713]

Same, my favorite games in the series were cooking mama 2, cooking mama 3, cooking mama 4, world kitchen, crafting mama, gardening mama and camping mama.

[@silverdemonwolf426]

I learned to make Tonkatsu after living in Japan for a few years, and it's become one of my family specialties. My only 'big' change is using garlic salt instead of regular salt when seasoning the pork cutlets, to add a bit more flavor.

[@sonic232s]

Doing an Arcade with Alvin based on a cooking game feels like cheating, but you can't argue with results!

[@misterluppus6727]

Love cooking, love Cooking Mama, never thought of actually making the game's recipes. Gonna try It!

[@Hrathen39]

​@notmefrfraw cabbage help alleviate the heavy taste from the katsu, pretty refreshing, though I like to have a light dressing on the cabbage. Also miso soup helps wash all of this down

[@n543576]

I genuinely don't think you understand how important these videos are. Im an ignorant nave when it comes to cooking but you simplify these dishes that even i believe i can do this and will attempt to do so to bring a different food into my family taste buds. Thanks Alvin, you're a GOAT and anytime i see you in the video title i know you'll steer me into a fun new dish 😊

[@ashleypenn7845]

We discovered tonkatsu when we studied Japan in our homeschool world geography unit a couple years ago. I called it "Japanese Southern Food" because a deep fried pork chop is definitely something you'd find here in the South! We loved it so much when we made it for the unit study it became a regular meal in our rotation and we actually plan on having it again this weekend. :P

[@ImmortalLemon]

I remember having a really bad day once and to make me feel better my girlfriend made me this with a porkchop over some Japanese curry she made with rice. It helped a lot and I now associate Tonkatsu with how much I love her

[@eurasiatheiv8955]

That's nice 😊

[@TurboSamus]

Man, Cooking Mama was the game that actually got me into cooking. Makes me wanna try again

[@daniel6678]

I NEED more cooking mama videos. The more literally you follow the instructions in the game, the better. I’d be willing to see you follow the game first and then improve on it, if you like.

[@RealColdChiller]

I forgot how smooth and easy this channel is to watch. I love it!

[@legomojo]

I would watch a whole series on just cooking mama recipes. Haha

[@Otatsuke]

My dad taught me that if you cut diagonally to the meat - specifically, around 30-45° to the muscle fibers - you end with a much more tender cut. Works phenomenally for preparing venison and wild pork.

[@TheGreatLake1998]

Mmm, this is my favorite dish of all time. Thanks for making it for us, Babish!

[@nicoleward8839]

I didn't know cabbage helps with my digestive system when I eat fried food. Please continue with the videos. Y'all doing such a great job 🎉😊

[@Tleilaxu0]

3:24 For thinly slicing cabbage, I like to use a cheese slicer ("Ostehøvel"). It's my go-to tool when making coleslaw.

[@meganmcdonald3333]

This was one of the easy recipes in the game and I STILL have Cooking Mama, Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, and the Cooking Mama Wii game. These games gave me a love for cooking as a teen!

[@LovlyHorror]

I would love to see you do more 'Cooking Mama' recipes. I only ever played it on the Nintendo DS, but I have many fond memories of that game.

[@samuslightsuit]

What a beautiful presentation of the plate. dude seriously 10/10! Appealing to the eyes and appetizing to the soul.

[@whatbroicanhave50character35]

Its cool to see a recipe for tonkatsu, ive wanted to try it since I read "Tondemo skill de isekai hourou meshi" because they made the idea of it sound so delicious. I plan to try it soon and im super excited

[@yaki_tv]

Been living on my own for a start and this is the fourth meal I've ever made by myself, and it is amazing thank you so much!

[@drewbakka5265]

I wonder if pineapple would make a better sauce than prunes. Pineapple and pork tend to work really well together

[@MellowGaming]

There's a lot of mileage in doing recipes from Cooking Mama. Especially if you're sticking to the methods shown. I look forward to you attempting the cup noodles stage of the game.

[@t.myazoe]

This reminds of that kdrama series called “Moving” and 3 new episodes coming tomorrow 😌

[@SeraphimKnight]

Tonkatsu is my favorite meat to accompany japanese curry! Otherwise topped with tonkatsu sauce, japanese mayo and a bit of nori is an absolute classic and tonkatsu sandwich is something I've eaten a lot when in japan.

[@BirdGang6]

Tonkatsu has to be in my top 5 of favorite foods of all time!

[@Springdude11]

With the TTYD remake on the horizon, I'd really hope you guys try and tackle something from the first three Paper Mario games, lot of potential from them I'd say.

[@Nosceteipsum166]

I absolutely love tonkatsu, especially over some white rice and tonkatsu sauce. It's so delicious, man.

[@erwashere]

Always have to think of German Schnitzel when I see Tonkatsu

[@miasutcliffe6281]

If you want thinly cut cabbage, use a potato peeler. It work very well

[@fenfrostpaws2000]

Alvin is the only reason I'm still subbed

[@tacobellcrunchwrapsupreme7747]

Try chunking up the bread into bite sized pieces and nuking it in a food processor until it stops screaming. Either that or wait for it to stale before you grate it.

[@poeghost5821]

I really like Alvin's content so far! If he's going to be the MC of the BCU this season, we should get more "sides" with the main content. Perhaps a one-off Vlog of a normal day?

[@airamplane1234]

0:41 every time he intros I can't help but reply with "GENERAL KENOBI!"

[@appo9357]

3:30 vegetable peeler 3:55 that’s why you use slightly stale bread, never fresh.

[@MapleDaze]

I never knew lemon was a common side for tonkatsu! I think it would really remind me of german pork or veal cutlet this way too

[@victoriabonilla3936]

Hi! Love your videos, been subscribed since the old krabby patty video from years ago. I was wondering if you’d make the lamb stew with dried plums from the hunger games books? Every time I read it, it sounds so appealing and I wanted to see your take!

[@ellieboa]

“When I take a bite it feels like everything is right in the world” we love you Alvin!

[@alext6933]

" I'm pretty sure there's a way better way to do it" I'm pretty sure it's called a mandolin

[@game_learning_birb]

Hey, Alvin! If you want thinner slices of shredded cabbage, you can use a vegetable peeler like how they shred cabbage for bun bo hue! Hope this helped :D

Even better than Mama😂

cooking mama my beloved

[@sierrajohnson717]

I spent so much time stirring digital eggs as a kid man they were in like every recipie

[@wanderingursa8184]

The cuts made, are specifically across the white stringy areas, because they will often curl up a LOT when being cooked.

[@Backlogreport]

Freeze the baguette next time. That is what i used to do when i had to make fresh thin bread chips for an appetizer at restaurant i worked at.

[@icarus532]

yall ever just save the end parts of the cutlet and save it to the very last bite cuz of its crispiness? cuz i do and i use it for the most perfect bites!

[@jbearclowater]

One I'd be interested in is the Soba noodles from My Hero Academia. Shoto always says he prefers his cold, while other characters always say they're better hot, so 'd love to hear your thoughts on which is better.

[@beebitbit3080]

I feel like we absolutely need either the cloud bread or yakitai (well, taiyaki) from Hirogaru Sky! Precure, in the show when trying to recreate yakitai for Tsubasa they make so many interesting fillings for taiyaki and I think it's worth a shot

[@montanajackson3713]

Cooking mama is one of my favorite nostalgic game series! I had almost every game in the series, including the spin-offs (my favorite spin-offs were crafting mama and camping mama). If you wanna try more cooking mama recipes, you should try making those heart-shaped marshmallows or cooking mama cookies or rice crackers.

[@penguinscanfly5796]

this reminds me of a meal i had in a korean airport once, it was probably one of the best tonkatsu ive had

[@jojobiwankenobi]

You've got to peel the layers of the cabbage off, and shred when each layer is pressed flat into a sheet

[@austinbarber7850]

Starfield food needs to be posted immoderately I need some Chunks, the sheer amount of unique food items gives endless possibilities

[@conndoriano123]

Thanks

[@adamdubin1276]

Whole fried shark head from Dave the Diver... or really any of the dishes from Dave the Diver, could probably make a series on the game.

[@BongRipBing]

Fresh Breadcrumbs... Salad Shooter or commercial grade equivalent with grater attachment. I'm pretty sure Kitchenaid makes an attachment for a stand mixer that'd make quick work of this task.

[@jefferyhanderson7849]

Funny. I had a deep fried pork cutlet for lunch yesterday. It had been 2 years since I ate that dish. It was so big, I needed two (small)bowls of rice to finish the 2/3s of it. It cost me 9,800 won(roughly 7.50$) but it was worth it.

[@AkemiTheSunbro]

I once animated a Babish parody (still on my channel) for Tonkatsu a few years back. I’d like to believe I was an inspiration. It’s hecka untrue, but I can dream Seeing an actual Babish Universe episode about Tonkatsu brings everything full circle for me and that gives me a great happiness

[@paprikamerah]

amazing the vidio thank you for sharing

[@blackcatiswatchingyou7776]

I know this is from the game and I always appreciate making everything from scratch, but to make this recipe more approachable and easy (especially if you are intimidated with deep frying)... do yourself a favor and just buy the Panko Breadcrumbs and the Bulldog sauce, they are both very "authentic" and honestly hard to beat. It's like Heinz Ketchup... you could make your own ketchup but do you really need to?

[@HayTatsuko]

Was not expecting the Bread Brigade, but there it was! :)

[@TeenLaLa]

Oh wow I literally made this last night delish 😋

[@didgeridooo]

I was so confused when i saw babish talking in an alvin video, but then i realized it was an ad

[@charityhobson]

Used to play and loved Cooking Mama

[@ApolloNui]

Funny seeing this now, I literally just had Tonkatsu yesterday too!

[@mattbas-vi7750]

I think the highlighting of the use of fruit is related more to the cost of fruit there than anything, maybe a westerner version should similarly use ingredients that we consider premium and pair well with tonkatsu.

[@Hi98765]

Cooking mama is responsible for my interest in my higher education of food

[@TravelClast]

Better way might be a mandolin for the cabbage, and freeze the fresh bread to make it easy to grate.

[@sirmoony5633]

Cooking Mama rules! The original game on the DS and Personal Trainer: Cooking is how I got into culinary arts and cooking in general. :D

[@pandoraeeris7860]

Those white carrots and orange onions look great, where do you find them?

[@Abrikosmanden]

Tonkatsu is amazing 😋

[@cullenST92]

I mean, maybe hiring that veteran to gate things that you can't grate 4:10

[@larapiacenti]

Such a great idea ❤ I loved playing cooking mama when I was younger, and I remember making this in the game 😂

[@mmckeeha]

Not seeing a playlist for Arcade with Alvin 😢😢😢😢 But Arcade with Alvin idea. The “Pimimtaco” from borderlands 2

[@johnwitt112]

The best trick I've seen for cabbage is to use a deli meat slicer. So yall can make the philly cheese steak episode pay for itself too!

[@jiblitin1520]

You should do something from Sea of Stars for your next Arcade with Alvin.

[@WeAreNIM]

OK, Starfield has been out for a few weeks and they have A BUNCH of interesting and strange cuisine on various planets. All of the "Chunks" food seems too easy (well, except maybe the apple, red wine, and cola), but many of the dishes you can craft or purchase from fine dining establishments around the settled systems look super tasty! Would love to see your take on some of their offerings. 😊

[@WeAreNIM]

Also, a bunch of the recipies and cooking minigames in Palia are pretty great! Plenty to choose from!

I believe the scoring of the meat in the game is to keep it from curling when frying.
