📖 here are the recipes 📖
CABBAGE JOOK
- 1/2 cup rice
- 4 cups water
- few slices of ginger (optional)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 scallions, sliced
- quarter of a large cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp each of soy sauce and sugar
- soft boiled egg and chili oil (optional topping)
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil with your ginger and stir in the washed rice. Simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
2. In the meantime, prepare the toppings. In a large skillet heat the sesame oil and stir-fry the scallions until they soften and are slightly browned. Remove them and toss in the cabbage and stir-fry until softened. Pour in the seasonings and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it begins to slightly caramelize.
3. At this point the rice should be fully cooked, whisk the pot vigorously to break up the rice for a few minutes until it reaches your desired texture.
4. Serve the porridge along with your toppings!
ONION BANANA JUICE
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 banana
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup ice
1. Caramelize the onions in a pan over medium low heat for about 30 minutes until they are soft and jammy.
2. Place the pealed banana on a baking tray sprinkled with brown sugar and bake for 15 minutes on 350.
3. Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth.
UNFRIED DOUGH NOODLES
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup warm water
- pinch of salt
- for the chili oil: 2 scallions sliced, 5 cloves garlic minced, 2 tbsp chili crisp (i use lao gan ma), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp ponzu, 3 tbsp oil
1. To make the noodle dough, pour the flour, salt, and warm water into a bowl and mix until it forms a ball. Let it rest for a few minutes before kneading until completely smooth.
2. Dye a quarter of the dough blue and a small pinch of it black. Let the dough rest for at least an hour to make rolling easier.
3. To form the little aangs, first roll out the blue dough as thin as possible and cut out small arrows. Roll out the white dough as thin as possible and use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to gently imprint where they will be. On each aang, place an arrow and 2 small pieces of black dough for his eyes accordingly and roll over the whole slab of noodle gently with a rolling pin till everything sticks together.
4. Finally use the cookie cutter to cut out the noodles and boil them for 3-4 minutes.
5. Optionally for the chili oil, place all of the ingredients besides the oil in a bowl. Heat up the oil until it just starts to smoke and pour that over the ingredients. Mix it up and coat the noodles in the sauce!
FIRE FLAKES
- 5 cups corn flakes
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
1. In a large bowl, pour in the cornflakes and drizzle over the sesame oil. Toss everything and make sure they are evenly coated.
2. Mix together the spices in a small bowl, pour that over the corn flakes, and toss again evenly.
3. Pour the mix onto a parchment lined baking tray and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
ROAST DUCK
- precooked duck
- 2 tsp of five spice powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 garlic gloves, grated
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
1. Place the duck in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes while you make the sauce. To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients in a small bowl until combined.
2. Remove the duck from the oven and brush half of the sauce on top. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
3. Baste the duck in the remaining sauce and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and dark golden brown, and the skin is slightly crispy. Enjoy over a bed of rice or with buns!
EGG TARTS
- puff pastry
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- cinnamon stick
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 egg yolks
- vanilla extract
1. Prepare the tart shells by rolling out the puff pastry (so it's an extra 1 inch on all sides) and cut out 3 1/2 inch circles. Take each disk of dough and gently form it into your tart shells or muffin tin. Make sure the sides come up a little more than the height you want as it will shrink. Dock each one with a fork and place in the fridge while we make the custard.
2. Over medium low heat, melt together the sugar, water, and cinnamon stick for 2 minutes until it forms a thick syrup. Remove from the heat and in the same saucepan whisk together the flour and milk over low heat until thick.
3. Remove from the heat completely and whisk in the yolks and vanilla. Strain before pouring into your tart shells (~80% full) and bake at 400 for ~20 minutes or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown.

[@Elarace]

i'm so happy that you actually put the recipes of these mouthwatering foods in the description so we can make them ourselves. Thanks so much!!

[@mich_mengo]

of course! if you end up trying any, i'd love to hear how it turns out 😊

[@naviwolffe]

Where To Buy

[@wuzzgoinon3674]

Where’s the two headed fish though 😂

[@RobloxPrompt]

There's also an Avatar recipe book which you can find some interesting lore in there. For the "noodles" which I think is more like a mochi dough you can make them sweet instead of adding them to a bowl because it seems like they were meant to be eaten by themselves.

[@insignia9028]

we need a sequel where you make that one water tribe noodle soup dish and spicy fire noodles. They look delish. I am pretty sure the water tribe noodle one is from the comics tho@@mich_mengo

[@sususunnymaen4970]

MAAAAD respect for actually making onion and banana juice.

[@mich_mengo]

LOL it was intrigue more than anything but i would def NOT suggest trying it (unless you're also super curious) haha

I wonder if there’s be an improvement if you used sweet onions?

[@ReedJacobs]

😅 onion banana juice oh gawd 😂

[@amazingsomeoneable]

fun fact: Iroh's favorite tea is actually ginseng tea. Jasmine is zuko's favorite tea, thus he named the shop "Jasmine Dragon" a combination of him and zuko

[@mich_mengo]

ah thanks for letting me know! just another reason i love the show and it's subtle ways of depicting their relationship😊

[@hoodeguy4483]

Then why does he order jasmine tea for himself and not Zuko

12:25 actually, Ginseng is Iroh's favorite, Jasmine is Zuko's favorite He named his tea shop after his nephew's favorite tea 🥲

[@mimiisrofl]

I came here to say this! Just another one of those tiny ways they made Iroh’s character (and how much he loved his nephew) subtly evident ❤

[@casperrabbit7254]

No offence but uh... where does it state that? 😅 It's never mentioned in the show

[@the_enby_geek]

@@casperrabbit7254 ​ when Zhao invites Iroh and Zuko to his base, Iroh says "do you have any Gingseng tea? That's my favorite"

[@Aaa-vp6ug]

He orders Jasmine for himself and himself alone sometimes though. Given that Ginseng is rare and expensive, I’m guessing it’s Iroh’s second favourite

I just came across your channel bc I love antm but you really captured my attention and have such a nice calm energy I definitely followed u

[@beansbutbaked558]

I always personally believed that the onion and banana juice was just durian juice cuz to me that’s what durian candy tastes like

[@mich_mengo]

i was also thinking that! but tbh durian taste waaaay better than the onion banana juice LOL

[@hiffahyphae6707]

@@mich_mengoalso onion and banana is a weird combination and makes more sense as to why Aang would spit it out

[@Jorb.]

I feel like to make a tasty version of the onion banana juice, you could go for an onion based soup with plantains, which are like bananas but not as sweet- perfect for both sweet and savory foods!

Those Aang noodles truly were adorable.

[@aznSeddie]

Love how you turned the Avatar Day doughs into noodles! And they look so cute too. I personally loved the Netflix live-action series and the food moments did not disappoint, esp. in the Omashu episode.

[@mich_mengo]

thank you! those were my fav to make and omg i'm glad to hear that, i feel like i've been hearing mixed things so i've been anxious to start it!

[@RossOriginals]

For "onion banana juice" you might have been better off with a Lassi based recipe made with plain yoghurt, maybe with not quite such a ripe banana, or perhaps a banana curry sauce, which would contain both onion and banana but with spices to take the edge off.

[@alexissey4023]

That’s what I was thinking: a less ripe banana, so it’s more mild in flavor

[@aych_pea]

Loved this! Your commitment to the onion banana juice is commendable. If you balance the microplane on the rim of your bowl, it gives you a little bit more stability. That way you can grate with downward pressure. Much easier than holding it aloft! If you're grating a larger object like an orange, hold it still in your hand and move the plane upside down over the top of it instead. Hope that helps!

[@9Fashionista411]

This show is so iconic and so is the food!! This video was so comforting and cozy ❤

[@HouseHermit]

For the micro grate I usually hold it down against the bowl rim and then grate, that way, it's more stable and a hopefully less chance of grating my fingers!

[@lilyayora]

This may sound a little spoiled, but I asked for a micro grate for Christmas and got two, one from Microplane, and one off-brand. I tested both and honestly, the real trick is just buying the one from Microplane. I don't know why, they look virtually the same, both are sharp, but the difference in use is insane.

[@princessthyemis]

The Aang noodles look so cute but they also look delicious! I'm so curious about the egg custard tarts, now! I'd be exhausted after making so many recipes in one day...this is great!! I'm glad you got to fulfill your childhood dream!!!

[@shadowprincess3724]

I've made them before!! The texture is a lot like jello. Very interesting.

[@cosmicish6806]

I'm super impressed by the way you made all the foods look delicious and make them look accurate to the show. Also, thanks for the calm atmosphere. It's really nice to not have people randomly screaming in my face about the food, y'know? Great job! :)

[@not_irxne]

omg the time and effort you probably took to make all of these meals is mind-boggling!!! also i love egg custard tarts and this vid made me crave them ;')

[@mich_mengo]

you're literally the sweetest! i'm prob most proud of this video so far so i'm glad you liked it 😊

[@carriewagner9595]

I loved this so much! Your calm narration and the excellent cooking was so soothing. I once tried to make fire flakes but I used candied spicy bacon. It turned out pretty well, but the sweet/savory flavor was a bit too much. Cornflakes was a great idea, I bet the more neutral starting ground let the spices really shine.

[@Emma-ei3vq]

the cartoon series is so iconic!!

[@mich_mengo]

yess! i still do a yearly rewatch and i always forget how good it is!

[@themadlad2469]

WOW this is one of those videos that you click out of curiosity thinking its just another viral influencer and then once you are done watching this professionally made cooking video you realise it only has 20k views, and even that isnt enough to make your jaw drop, you go see how the rest of the videos are doing and they have even less views. This is criminal, you deserve so much more recognition. Aim for the stars because im 100% sure you are gonna make it!

Plsssss do a part 2 if there’s more food ideas. Or for Korra. Such a great video! Glad KZbin recommended

So fun!! It’s so cool to see people make food and drinks from shows! I watched the ATLA live action with my dad and while we agreed how good it looked, we also agreed it wasn’t as good as the original and began watching the show agitan for like the tenth time.

Your foods are soooo different than mine! Rice, scallions and cabbage are all such familiar things in my life, but my rice porridge would usually be sweet and made with milk, and I have never browned scallions before when topping something with them, and I would never put cabbage on rice.

[@Emma_952]

This is the best of these videos I’ve seen!! So cute and true to the series!! Totally making avatar noodles for my family!! Also!! Rest your microplane on the bowl you’re grating into, and try to stay in a small area, verses using the whole thing, so that it’ll push itself out a little better.

[@NoodleCatPlays]

I love this so much! I want all of it! Also, for your microplane, don’t rest it against the bowl, and use gentle pressure. And if you eat garlic a lot, I’d recommend using a garlic press instead of a microplane. Or just a plain grater, as they’re less violent lol. Thanks for the video

[@yogurt-nu4vf]

this recipes are making my mouth waterbend

[@noodleMoodle253]

This was such a cute video ! 🧡

[@greenteamoon]

If you place the microplane on the bowl you can grate directly into the bowl with a lot less risk! I'll also place a non-slip mat under the bowl if I'm really struggling

[@AxothanDraws]

Great vedio! I treid some of the recipes they were really good!

[@user-vp9qg8nl6m]

The food looks amazing

[@mistingwolf]

Would totally make the little Aangs out of sugar cookie dough. XD

[@kaederinas950]

the microplane can be leant against the bowl flat instead of being held in the air- this makes it a lot more stable and you can press a lot harder with the garlic and such

[@rachelsheldon6562]

Rest the end of the grater on a chopping board so you’re moving up and down like a normal grater, much easier ☺️

[@user-eb3qk6ol2w]

To use a small grater you just put it on top of a bowl so it has support and you can apply little force and it is stable. Simple as that! Hope it helps

[@keatonbooth1961]

The first one looks amazing

[@gabriellewilliams3502]

[@3bdallaha.298]

I was surprised that you made Banana Onion juice. I recommend caramelizing your onion for a longer time and adding sugar, preferably brown. I made a caramelized onions and apples puree the other day and it tasted really great. No sharpness, no allium flavor at all.

[@mich_mengo]

thanks for the tip! i actually didn't want to fully caramelize them because i wanted it to still have the yellow-ish color of the animated one but no doubt it would taste MUCH better haha
