Honest Try: Amberlynn Reid's "Grandma's Recipe"

[@anguswrench]

this is like an old Italian man's version of carbonara after being decimated by dementia

[@LordYandros]

Exactly, I thought as Rob cooked the egg, "if you just added it raw to the cooked noodles with some parmesan and a little pasta water, you'd have carbonara". It's like you have most of the ingredients but the steps get jumbled up.

[@bigdaddydons6241]

Thats where i was expecting this to go TBH, All you would need to do is change the order of cooking and add a bunch more butter and parmesan And to actually cook the bacon first

[@mauriziocobalto5770]

No matter how old or dementia ridden no Italian would ever break spaghetti in half.

[@Loozar402]

I feel this would probably be a bit better and a little less weird if you just swapped the spaghetti out for white rice and just used full eggs instead of egg whites. Also a wild scenario that grandma has egg whites on hand but not regular eggs unless she was on some sort of dietary restriction I guess.

[@EmmeHouston-m6i]

Rice, egg and some type of cured or canned protein is a classic Chinese struggle or bachelor meal.

[@CannabrannaLammer]

Exactly.

[@_loss_]

it honestly looks like her grandma tried to make a carbonara but failed and just said fuck it. Like this is the second attempt where she already used up the egg yolks.

[@dripcoffee6804]

Not knowing how to cook is EXPENSIVE. How to make this immediately better: 1) Using real bacon and whole eggs. 2) Get a wok or much bigger pan. 3) Cook bacon. Remove bacon and grease, leaving 2-3 tbs. Cut scallions (green onions). Put white part of your scallions into grease to cook briefly; you could also add a small (like 1/4-1/3 cup total) frozen peas or finely cut veggies at this step. Cook briefly. Pour beaten eggs into green onion and bacon fat, no need to remove veggies. Cook briefly (you want some runny-ness for the next part). Add MORE bacon grease if desired. Throw drained pasta and more of the green onion into your runny scrambled egg/veggie mixture and stir fry to coat and mix. Add small amount of black pepper and soy sauce while stir frying. Remove from heat, plate, and use the final bit of reserved green onion for garnish.

[@HotaruGlaive]

I would assume her grandmother used eggs, but I heard Amber is trying to lose weight. I have to assume this is her adaptation. Depending on the era the grandmother was in, this may have been a decent way to cook a meal that was low cost and could fill people up. It has all the attributes of a "poor man's" meal from the 30's-50's. This is not a "foodie" meal.

[@liesalllies]

​@@HotaruGlaiveyou could decrease the amount of pasta and use whole egg and it would be better nutritionally, taste better, and less calories. you do what you have to do when you're recovering from an eating disorder though so whatever, power to her.

[@dripcoffee6804]

@@HotaruGlaive Thanks for the note about the weight loss journey for this creator. I honestly had never heard of them or understood the context. While the substitutions make sense to some degree for a famous KZbin creator, for the viewer who is worried about their grocery bill, separating egg whites from yolks is not complicated; in fact, you can use your hands! Bacon is a luxury too. You can sub any meat, but bacon is a good choice because it's greasy and seasoned before cooking. Honestly, I just applied my basic egg fried rice/noodles to this recipe that I learned from my Chinese mother-in-law. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.

[@moredumbtoit5325]

I have also "heard" that she's trying but ever since the journey was announced 7 YEARS AGO and she's only gotten bigger, this "weight loss journey" is only something i've Heard about but never seen, unfortunately now she's with a partner who fetishizes obesity and legally KILLED their previous partner by force feeding them, this can't end well ​@@HotaruGlaive

[@CannabrannaLammer]

It looks like something a parent on substances would put together with the last things they have left in the house. Which is most likely what happened if Amber wasn't in fact lying. I doubt her gran gave her this and it was her mum.

[@lacyreneehunt3955]

[@Alucia0]

I could honestly see this being okay with some changes to how its all cooked and a bit of seasoning and maybe 1 more ingredient Salt the water for the pasta, don't break it so your not on the hitlist of all of Italy lol Cook the eggwhites in some milk on low heat so they don't scramble with a bit of salt, pepper and maybe garlic powder or paprika and the soy sauce for a sauce with a bit of pasta water. Cook off the whites of the onions and slightly cook the greens to bring out the flavor. Real bacon and cut into parts. Mix everything except the greens of the onions but use them as a garnish and I think this could be pretty good

[@CrunchyTire]

I will say if you throw fully cooked bacon on a stove or grill it crisps up nice and fast without the mess. You could heat a couple strips in a pan, then use the tiny amount of grease to make all the rest of your ingredients for a breakfast burrito in just a few minutes. thats where it shines. But most people just use it to be lazy lol.

[@ITZ_eSPy]

[@HotaruGlaive]

I would not assume this is just to use leftovers to feed kids. Depending on the economic status and era the grandmother grew up in, this may have been more of a "poor man's meal" that is designed to be filling (the pasta) with some protein and veggies. I also have to think she decided on egg whites only - old people did not care about that, would have to separate the egg themselves, and wouldn't have wasted the yolk. So maybe the yolk was used elsewhere and she just didn't realize it.

[@bigdaddydons6241]

Like this is very sound logic But amber is also dumb enough to just cook this way, its all the "easiest" precooked and packaged, She probably buys pickles individually

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure you put the egg in cooked pasta and toss and toss so egg is cooked safely and makes more of a sauce. Not bits of fried egg. Someone mentioned carbonara. I’m going to google it but yea it’s a made up yuck amber recipe.
