Can't believe I missed this! Signing up today!

[@bamtoday]

You should spice it up and make a Gochujang Beef Hoagie.

[@theShadeslayer]

what protein bar did you use?

[@Nakkiteline]

@@theShadeslayer it's listed first at 7:00

[@jvannucc]

Okay dude, a whole cooking video just to show off the triceps?

[@ChaoticGoodEats]

You should DEFINITELY do an entire Gochujang episode...

[@devotion_emotion]

please!!

[@SpareBedroomGardens]

Including how to make gochujang at home. I stumbled across a seed seller who was selling hong gochu pepper seeds a couple of months ago. I have so many growing in my back yard right now....

[@tristanlanoix6811]

and gogugaru!

[@john-hb5du]

Hell yeah. Also don’t forget another Korean fermented ingredient… doenjang!!! Not healthy but Army stew a must try!

[@kyosefgofa]

He should do most of the korean pastes. They are a game changer. Most store bought marinades can’t compete.

[@contrariangrin]

We need more LAZINESS oriented cooking content!!

[@JudgeDredd_]

Yeah this was not lazy enough for me

[@darrenjoyce7615]

I would love an episode dedicated to gochujang pastw

[@EthanChlebowski]

So many possibilities with pasta alone! Some kind of gochugang meat sauce with spaghetti could be really interesting. Lots of other ideas like carbonara or mac and cheese could work great too 🧪

[@lordcrispen]

@@EthanChlebowski I think they just typo'd "paste"

[@darrenjoyce7615]

I did. But that would be great episode too! How to use it in different dishes like pasta.

[@cpmc5400]

@@EthanChlebowski I've pretty often made gochujang pasta, it's really good with bacon in it. Or will often make a korean style noodle soup which takes very little time. Gochujang, bouillon, msg, sesame oil, soy sauce, whatever else you fancy - all mixed in a bowl then added into the pot with water, thinly cut potatoes, noodles of choice, whatever other veg you want, with some meat on top at the end

[@evrenjaemdo127]

​@@darrenjoyce7615 Your typo brought great ideas. Best typo. 😂

[@ShimrratheDark]

Related to this, could you make a video of lazy foods that use only high shelf-life ingredients? Like, 1-2 weeks shelf life. As a single person with not that much time for shopping I can't just buy ground beef or a bunch of vegetables randomly to always have on hand, they'd spoil. If I have a lazy phase, then that usually includes shopping, so having things like the mince, chicken, a sub bread or stuff that you need to use up within 3-4 days of purchase on hand is usually not the case.

[@Nagarath16]

This. To me it's also being really poor and having ADHD - so food stuff feels in most pf the time impossible. Especially when most healthy options seem to spoil so fast, buying those are a high risk gamble.

[@Javic167]

Just freeze the meat and pickle veggies, as well as buying canned or frozen ones. Rice, wraps and noodles last forever. Done.

[@Joseph-id7qq]

Plus could you make one for shift workers? hard to cook at 1am when you get back without waking up the house - max you can do is the microwave or a simple one dish in the oven for 30 min before you fall asleep. Or you could call it meals for after a night out :) (thanks for the content by the way - great stuff)

[@sopiabobia3699]

Canned fish is so good for this. Canned sardines + pasta, capers, lemon, cheese, tomato sauce Canned sardines + sushi rice, herbs, vinegar, grated ginger Canned tuna -> tuna salad Canned tuna -> tuna pasta Canned tuna + rice = onigiri Only problem with 3 week shelf stable is hard to incorporate fruit and veg. Frozen veg can sauté, roast up super quick and easy as an accompaniment to any above meals

[@JustCallMeCharlie]

@@Nagarath16 i feel you, frozen, pickled and fermented foods are a lifesaver for this; frozen vegetables are honestly sometimes healthier/tastier than the fresh versions, especially out of season. they pick them and process them at peak ripeness, preserving more of the vitamins and flavor, compared to "fresh" produce that's been picked underripe to survive shipping and stuff. not everything freezes well but things like peas, corn, carrots, cauliflower as well as fruits and berries all hold up nicely imo. quick pickled red onions are great to have on standby in the fridge, make a big batch at once and you always have some veg with a hit of acid and color ready to go. fermenting stuff like sauerkraut is easy and dirt cheap, and can last for weeks or months in the fridge; make a bunch when your adhd allows it and you can use it for ages afterwards. for leafy greens, screw the lettuce and go for hardier stuff like chard, kale or spinach, they generally hold up better over time and have more flavor and nutrients

[@Wompond]

Kinda unrelated to this video, but when it comes to the Ethan Chlebowski systems you are for sure the GOAT. Been doing your Sunday braise every few weeks and have turned it into: chilaquiles, broccoli beef, lazy cheesesteaks, bibimbap, tacos, yakisoba, and probably even more that I’m not thinking of. Love the way you seem to maximize versatility while also not sacrificing flavor and minimizing time commitments.

[@JokeswithMitochondria]

I picked up cooking because of ethan

[@tomhappening]

@@JokeswithMitochondria I was curious about ur username so cIicked on ur profiIe. Wasn't disappointed haha

[@matgonzalez6272]

Agreed and same. He’s helped me to build systems and “staples” into our home cooking and makes it feel effortless.

[@somefreshbread]

The Sunday braise is GOATiest with goat. (But I usually do pork shoulder because man is it a lot of food for very little money)

[@ElijsDima]

Best way to solve a food laziness problem is to have food already made and available for reheating on the lazy days. Nothing beats the simplicity of pulling a plate out of a fridge and (maybe) showing it into an oven/microwave.

[@jennywebb4678]

THIS! I learned to meal prep and fill my freezer with healthy, easy options when I developed allergies. I could no longer order out easily, so I either learned to meal prep or starve. Now I love being able to pull a cup of chili out of the freezer when I can’t face cooking.

[@Homerow1]

Yeah, as long as I'm motivated 1 or 2 days a week, I can cook enough to keep myself fed the rest of the week. Reheating stuff has reached a new level with this tiny air fryer I have.

[@danbra2105]

I have a bunch of carbs (be it rice, potatoes or noodles) and mixed vegetables prepared, needing usually 3 days to consume it. All I need to focus on the next days is what I want to eat with this.

[@Gahet]

I found my new favorite cooking channel! No crazy jump cuts or over the top editing, no yelling, no childish jokes or gimmicks, just cooking and sharing knowledge. Thank you so much for your mature yet very upbeat and information rich style.

[@electricant55]

I need to step my game up, this is how I cook when I'm super motivated. When I'm lazy anything beyond potato chips or a kebab delivery is out of the question.

[@jmunt]

To me the biggest point was, on those motivated days, prep extra of the raw ingredients like chicken and fruits/veggies, then on the lazy days you can way more easily incorporate them in lazy meals. He's not slicing/cooking chicken on lazy days, he's pulling it out of the fridge on lazy days. He's just cooking double on motivated days (which isn't twice as hard bc you only have to do cleanup once, and lets be real that's the thing I don't wanna do when I'm lazy)

[@MrBraddizzle24]

Been eating my own version of this Greek yogurt bowl all week, and, dude... It's amazing. I love that your emphasis is on systems/frameworks rather than purely recipes. So helpful.

[@user00616]

YES!!!!

[@nacho_oreo]

Just made the chicken hoagie. Bomb. Perfect. Added green bell pepper for personal preference. Took 30 mins. BOOM! Lunch while cleaning the house.

[@jakefisher-psalm23]

[@BeachedTiger]

Been rewatching all your content lately and its been helping me out a lot in the kitchen!

[@Niibin]

My mother in law passed. we moved into a place without a kitchen (due to house fire). I left my teaching job to be close to family. Ive been very lazy. I gained a lot of weight from freezer meals and not leaving the couch. We have been using a toaster oven and microwave and sometimes the air fryer. Lots of takeout. Videos like these make me feel it’s possible to take care or myself again. Thank you.

[@kissanjamm3583]

How r u doing now?

[@P3trarch]

Sorry about your loss, hopefully you're doing better.

This is not your typical cooking channel! Educational, inspirational, good cooking and life advice! Love your videos, they make the cook and the nerd in me very happy!

[@isaansari4131]

Ethan, Isa here; every time I am eating a meal, I see one of your video. Every time you not only inspire me to be a good home cook but also leave me in awe of the way you teach and cook. I really like how flexible you let your recipes be at the same time sticking to the fundamental food science behind it. Love from India🇮🇳❤️

Pleeaseee do a video over gochujang!! Just got it and have been adding it to everything but would love some recipes!!

[@EthanChlebowski]

It's on the list! I've been thinking about how to structure 'ingredient' videos like maybe 1. What it is / how it's made 2. What are traditonal uses 3. What are non traditional uses.

[@ripfrickingben]

thanks ethan, i dedicated myself to healthier eating this summer and this is def gonna help.

[@sedgecircle]

I just discovered your videos, and can I just say I appreciate your use of "pre-made" sauces? My "systems" do not always want to break out all the spices, oils, etc to make a home made sauce. I understand making your own is usually better (because you can control what goes into them), but it's nice to see a chef not guilt people for taking the easy way. I think I'll subscribe now :)

[@ErichEats]

I think I watch these sometimes just to watch Ethan crush a sandwich in 6 bites like me. Makes me feel normal.

[@DylansDishes]

You really put it into perspective for me. You really just have to set up systems ahead of time, so that you can work more optimally. I’ve realized this with other stuff, but never thought about it with cooking. Thanks for the tip Ethan!

[@JoeyHollywoodFilms]

You do ALL this when you're lazy? Dymn, I wish I was so active and productive when I'm lazy... Heck, when I'm lazy it's a struggle to make a sandwich while I'm binge watching Star Trek TNG for the millionth time

[@sbh0007]

Made the golchujang dish and ate it for a week straight 😅 thanks for the recipe

[@vchavez09]

What a fantastic episode 👏🏼 please make this a series 🙏🏼

[@zomgvampires]

My go-to has been the gochujang beef on those days when I'm working overtime and need to feed my family. It's super tasty! The last time I made this, I was out of frozen peas, so I subbed with frozen broccoli and a can of mixed veggies - not as delicious as the frozen peas, but still really tasty and FAST.

[@nintendoborn]

I always like sandwiches, bowls, and wraps, so this episode as always great for me

[@Ashleyapples]

at the end of each recipe, you eat, we watch and drool, no fair

[@randomhominid9816]

I love stuff that is easy to cook while not taking long, has few ingredients, and tastes good without being bad for you. I think these three fit the bill pretty good and I'm definitely going to give them a try starting with the gochujang beef. Great video.

[@WarChortle]

Great video. I am also team prep/cook items 1 or 2 days a week to help jump start meals by the time you get home. I'll roast a whole bunch of Korean sweet potatoes and eat that through the week. I am not a fan of cooking in the microwave, but a whole filled AnyDay bowl with veggies with a sauce is one of the best ways to hit that daily fiber. One thing I've been incorporating recently is adding 1-2 ounces of dry white wine or sake into these protein + veggie bowls. It makes the meal taste way fancier than it is.

[@emilyyoumee1624]

Awesome techniques! I construct my yog bowls in a similar fashion. I’d love to see more of your take on healthy, accessible homemade desserts for the every day! 🫶🫶 Great video🥰

[@nemilen0309]

Whenever you are using gochujang in your dish, adding one or two cloves of minced/ground garlic brings up the flavor a lot more (korean speaking here)

[@ListogreOfficial]

You really need to write a book. I have never seen even professional chefs break down recipes with such logic. Every video I learn something new.

[@boyle_seo]

YES gochujang is our cheat code lol. there so many fermented bean paste in east-asia (korea: doenjang, japan: miso, china: tianmian sauce). but gochujang is easily my favorite one. It's sweet taste comes from the fermented rice it made with.

[@alinapoznyur4789]

THANK YOU for videos like this 👏🏻👍🏻 this video is genius, especially the yogurt snack meal 😋👍🏻

[@adriancain2508]

I had banana cocoa protein bar yogurt for breakfast this morning, adding that to my breakfast rotation. Also thank you for pointing out the importance of letting that ground beef cook till it gets that crunch. I tried a dish with ground beef and it was horrible but I’m convinced it would have been much better if I cooked mine until it got a crust. I’m learning so much!

[@julianna2646]

more of these!! wow I'm blown away!

[@willcook6967]

In addition to the usual props, I love the fact that you use a zester so that you use your cheese more of a seasoning rather than a larger sidekick role. Good Romano, parmesan and sharp provolone, even a strong cheddar can add a lot of flavor without head-butting the calorie count. I like to julienne cucumbers and have them with tomatoes as a salad. You can zest a good pecorino Romano in with the oil and vinegar to compliment the the spices you add in and have a bold but responsible side dish to go with a good meal. I'm a big boy, so I try to fill my belly on the calorically cheap when I can get away with it. Also, I finally started flattening out my chicken the way you do and wow does it cook so nice. It's such a game changer for quick meals to take to work. I wish I'd started doing it sooner. It's so much moister, plus there's so much more surface to season, so the food really comes alive. Great stuff.

[@pheria]

Really helpful stuff, thank you. I've avoided learning cooking and have scraped by for a long time, but recently got hit with a celiac diagnosis and I'd had to start cooking things for myself more to ensure safety. It was a double whammy of learning to cook in general, plus finding new things I can eat. As part of that I talked to a dietician and I also started working out more so I need *way* more protein in my diet. I do the yogurt bowl daily, and adore the gochujang beef. I also do the broiled chicken thighs from some of your other videos. I can generally add in spices or mix them up, put them on tacos, salads, over rice (I eat a ton of rice instead of bread now) or just alongside a baked potato. I don't love cooking, and most recipes are such a pain to dredge through for that reason "How much of this do I really need? Can I do it more easily and learn about improving it later?" The few recipes I mentioned, and this video in particular are such excellent starting points.

[@appalling22]

for the gochujang beef a good substitute if you don't have any pickled ginger is to use a handful of gherkins

[@VertexCarver]

Solid 5/5. With freeze prep & principles It's just a lot more fun to cook. ^^ I've always had the interest of how to make great food but (As we do) I've leaned way too much on time-consuming recipes I learned & loved, growing up. I think it hit me quite early on, that I don't actually know how to cook but rather learned how to follow winning recipes my parents inherited or mimic seasoning combo's such as italian herbs or other spice "sets". To sum it up I just wanted to convey that I appreciate you man. I'm having a lot more fun cooking nowadays & can wait to learn more. ^^
