@@sephiraskye9606 yeah, the high respect for the 73 million sharks each year, often finned alive and released back into the water unable to swim and left to suffocate, for basically just the Asian market really shows that. I agree that using the whole animal is the way to go and shows some much needed respect for the animal in question, but that's not really a "welcome to Asian cooking" moment tbh. edit: btw don't get me started on all the skinned and eaten alive animals on Asian fish market or the dolphins who got killed as by-catch for this very tuna we are talking about. Humans are cruel when it comes to the consumption of animals (I have to shamefully admit that I am no exception aka not vegetarian) and Asian cooking culture neither is an exception, so please do not portray it that way.

0:57 Emily said that undercooked ground beef is not gonna hurt anybody, but undercooked ground beef from the store isn't the same as undercooked steak. You can undercook a steak and be okay because most of the harmful bacteria is on the outside, but with most ground beef that bacertia is present throughout, so it's important to make sure the meatball is cooked all the way through. That being said, we all of course love Emily and want more Emily content!
