How to Braise Anything You Want | Off-Script with Sohla

[@callmeval3542]

Sohla really is making her way through the cooking industry. I'm so proud of her.

[@ReclinedPhysicist]

She is really very good. Her training and dedication to her craft shines through.

[@kaiju_k5042]

[@ianmccully8427]

She's gonna end up with her own TV talk show/cooking show

[@kadeng8085]

everytime sohla says "you can do this" my heart flutters. I can do this.

[@zejackal16]

I nearly jumped for joy when she had a vegan option!!!! Thank you so much for catering to foodies who don’t eat animal products! There are so many foundational techniques that just need a little tweaking to work with vegetables and it’s so helpful to see it demonstrated. Thank you!

[@Luciachan23]

As a meat eater that hates cooking meat, I agree. I'm always looking for good vegetable recipes that I will actually cook.

[@denisef2845]

Same!! I always ‘veganize’ dishes, but it’s so amazing to see an actual recipe from one of my favorite chefs!

[@jamnana2235]

One of the secrets to incredible vegan food is msg and I'm so glad Sohla is allowed to connect to her genuine Asian roots and use it now without BA stopping her.

[@colleencundiff2811]

Yes! Especially that it was the MAIN focus of the video! I was surprised and delighted. Both look incredible, but too.

[@chaoswitch1974]

It was front and center rather than an option. Looks UH-MAZE-ZING!

[@johnfranklin42]

I really appreciate how the vegan dish took priority, and by the steps was quicker to make. As a non vegan it was a nice flip from the usual framing, and makes me want to give it a shot.

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

Don't sleep on those crispy shallots, folks. The shallots got like 30 seconds in this video, but they will change all your recipes. I love using them on top of soups (especially ramen or hot udon), on my omelettes, and in my salads. I even put them in my grilled cheese sandwiches.

[@JonathanCurtis]

Can’t wait to try out the cabbage braise! Might take it in a Thai vibe with coconut milk, fish sauce, and chiles!

[@food52]

That's what we call going off-script! Let us know how it goes!

I love how excited Sohla gets over food. She's got such a great personality. Love you Sohla!!

[@thatsalt1560]

I agree the cabbage is the star. Definitely more interesting. We all know the meat is delicious because we all ate something similar, but the cabbage dish is new to most people.

[@benrom916]

I'm still in awe of how much of her personality she's comfortable showing since she left her last and toxic work environment. The difference is day and night.

[@lizshoemaker]

I believe her when she tells me I can do this. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Sohla.

[@christinedolmayeh9094]

My goal in life is owning that many dutch ovens

[@katharinavonzitzewitz826]

You speak my mind!- my wish....

[@Artisticmonkey2]

Actually lodge cast iron enameled Dutch ovens are really good, affordable, and seem to end up at Marshall’s semi-frequently if you’re lucky! Having two is a life saver

[@MaeV808]

Like same ... I want atleast 10 for no good reason

[@heathergleiser]

Keep an eye on TJ Maxx/HomeGoods/Marshalls, I got a 3.75qt Staub Dutch oven for $99! Cutleryandmore.com has good sales sometimes and so does Sur la Table, I scored another Staub half off there last year. It’s the brand Sohla uses and they’re well worth the money.

[@philipp594]

I just want to know why I need that triangle frying pan.

[@jessieancestor]

I've really learnt a lot from this series. I'm for sure going to char some cabbage.

[@food52]

Thanks for saying so! And share pics if you do using #f52community. Thanks for watching, jessie f

[@VarongTangkitphithakphon]

Sohla is the only one who seems to know the widest range of food from East to West and really bring it out to the audience. The others I find that they are only making the same old staff repeatedly. She;'s the real thing.

Sohla cooking a vegan braise, Carla just posted a tofu alternative to a fish dish this week, thank you for including these to us vegans who watch you even when you cook meat

[@food52]

Thanks to YOU for watching, Noa! Did you see this one? It's not Sohla's, but it's one of our other favorite vegan dishes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKTdmIl9aZJ_ncU

[@sabrinagranger5468]

Wow I've never really thought about braising vegetables but the next time I get my hands on a nice head of cauliflower, that baby is getting braised! Maybe Indian-inspired with some coconut milk, bay leaves and coriander and cumin seeds? Genius idea, and thanks for thinking of us non-meat-eaters, too!

[@SketchyHippopotamus]

I love this, I feel like I’m learning generalizable skills

[@Ladderphobia]

My favorite part is always Sohla’s enthusiasm for different combinations. It’s like she can’t wait to try the riff she just thought of. Makes me want to try it too!

[@kaiju_k5042]

[@keithmasumoto9698]

This cabbage dish is genius. Thank you!

[@lindafreeman7030]

I learn so much from these; I never would have thought to pan sear vegetables, especially not big hunks of cabbage.

[@flakeycakey]

I grew up eating braised leeks with tomatoes. There's still a comfort food for me. Sauce them up over pilaf, that's a good meal. Thanks for this inspiration. I'm looking forward to trying the cabbage.

[@Lucysmom26]

This is the best food series on KZbin for people who are actually looking to learn and understand techniques. And also like cute dogs.

[@jacobmenacker9610]

I ADORE those little crystal looking shot glasses she’s using for measuring. What a cute and useful way to pre measure small ingredients

[@lauramartens1015]

[@rad_lobster]

This is my fave Sohla video. It feels like she's super comfortable, still silly, smart, but just sure of herself. This is all I want in this world.

[@TamarLitvot]

Tried the method (not the recipe) with acorn squash for dinner and it turned out well. I sliced the whole little squash into about 8 pieces (the hardest part of the recipe) and seared them in grapeseed oil. Since it was winter squash that has a bit of sweetness to it, I used pinches of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice in addition to the ginger and garlic, all added after first sweating a sliced shallot. Didn't have cashew milk or even juice to use as a liquid so I ended up using 1/4 cup of Gran Marnier (!), another 1/4 cup Kombucha and half a cup of water. It was all done stovetop because my oven is broken. It was getting late and we needed to have dinner so I didn't have time to make something crispy to add on top. But it was surprisingly good!

[@food52]

Well that was fast! Looks like you win first-attempt-in-the-comments AND fastest off-script! :) Glad you liked it and thanks for sharing , mtzjotz!

[@sofiasmith4513]

I would watch a travel / food show with Sohla! Especially if she discussed the cultural/social/political history of the place she’s visiting!

So glad to see Sohla in so many shows these days!

[@milesla105]

Oh my goodness I’m so happy this show exist I’ve made about 55% of the meals & enjoyed everyone & have been added to my monthly go to list

[@cammro]

sohla is the best cooking person, i think she's taught me the most out of all of them. it's so useful being taught the formula that goes onto make the recipe, you know what i mean? some of the tv chefs theyre like "CLASSIC flavour combination pork + apple" but the formula is more like fatty rich + fruity sharp, these classic falvour ideas are denying the existence of strawberry vinegar. you've also made cabbage and broccoile sticks taste nice with this grill them at high thing.

[@VangaurdTDS]

This sounds really good, very interested in doing this with carrots now.

[@rockheadkengo]

I really love the way this series effectively sets out simple ways to make seemingly complex meals. Sohla is wonderful, as always. :D

Hey! This was so inspiring. Watched it last night, and spent all morning scheming. So in the oven right now are three halved beets, seared til black around the edges, deglazed in white wine with celery, garlic and some minced dates, plus some chicken stock and lots of black pepper. So looking forward to trying it! Thanks so much!

[@ReclinedPhysicist]

Braising is great with a very tough cut of beef such as seven bone roast, Chuck roast, or brisket. Mother never called it a braise, she called it a pot roast. Always made on top of the stove. And it was always a special meal whenever she did this. I never would have thought to do what Sohla did with cabbage. Neither would mother, and I wish she was still alive so I could cook it for her.

[@19JBow81]

Cook it for her anyways. She will be there with you, enjoying it. ❤️
