Happy New Year 💖

[@king_ltc_]

Another week filled with happiness. Thank you Imamu for sharing the glimpses of your life!

[@mustwereallydothis]

Your English is improving so rapidly. I often forget you didn't grow up speaking it every day. I highly doubt I would do so well if I moved to Japan. Yet another thing to admire about you.

[@unstabletroll]

i noticed that too! i was so happy (for her more than anything i understood either way) watching her videos now with such great subtitles! english is hard, so i'm proud she's getting the weird english rules down now that she's got the basics down. well done, keep it up!!!!

[@dreadedmegmain]

Yeah, her English is getting better and better every video!! It is something to be proud of

[@clangiese4221]

Lead rhymes with read and read rhymes with lead but lead doesn’t rhyme with read and read doesn’t rhyme with lead English 👍

[@undercovertakodachi4301]

I moved here in japan when I was 15 it took me almost a year to be fluent, some say I became fluent very fast, maybe because I had to talk to teachers and make conversation most of the time? I think that helped

[@mustwereallydothis]

@Undercover Takodachi I don't know if that's faster than normal or not, but it sure is impressive to me.

[@MeatSim9]

I have no idea how you manage to crop out your daughter's face in every video. She's so energetic and running around, it's an incredible feat! :D

[@lyonessadeveaux6428]

I've actually made tempura eggs before! The trick is to freeze them soft boiled. It sets up the whites just enough so that they don't melt and keep their shape. quick edit: VERY soft boiled. Just barely enough to cook the outer part of the egg white just enough to be solid

[@igot_chu]

soaking the eggs on hot water for 8 mins should work. imamu sometimes does that for her very soft boiled eggs

[@xemmyQ]

i was about to say this same thing! this is what i do also

[@linhnguyenngoc7749]

Thanks for the tips, I live in tropical area so frozen food melts way too fast and I kinda gave up on the egg tempura, but I'll try again.

[@priyankareddy4582]

Why can’t tempura be made with completely hard boiled eggs? It will be soft inside and crunchy outside, I think. As a matter of fact, a hard boiled egg can be sliced thickly into 2-3 round slices and then each slice can be separately used for making tempura, I think.

[@lyonessadeveaux6428]

@@priyankareddy4582 Of course, but usually what people are specifically wanting is a crunchy outside and the gooey middle. If it's cooked too much before fried, it'll end up hard cooked, which may be undesirable to some people making these. It's personal preference. It's also possible to overcook eggs. It's still probably good, but not the result I personally want if I'm going through the trouble of making tempura eggs.

[@OrfaGF]

In Mexico we have a similar dish like the creamy corn cabbage rolls, the rolls are the same but it’s with thick tomato sauce and no cheese gratin🥰🥰 it’s nice to see some recipes repeat themselves in different cultures

[@ellalella1]

Swedes do cabbage rolls too but we tend to fry them with a bit of golden sirup and a thin gravy flavored with soy sauce. Some put rice in the meat as well so weirdly they are almost more "Asian" than the dish presented here when it comes to ingredients and flavor profile, sort by accident since I am sure the one that invented them had no intention of making an Asian-inspired dish, just make a tasty one.

[@lucyjames7304]

they are also a thing in Poland! They are called golabki (which translated to "little pigeons", so cute). Also with tomato sauce, and you can have them filled with rice/buckwheat or meat. So delicious, especially when the cabbage skins are the pickled kind!

[@Ealsante]

@@lucyjames7304 I love golabki! Also love Middle Eastern dolma. If an idea is good, you bet people everywhere will have thought of it :D

[@makenzie8577]

@@lucyjames7304 i grew up eating these and never knew the name of them now i remember my polish grandparents made them for me !Thanks for sharing

[@zoyacherkasova4125]

In Russia, they are called “golubtzy” - also “pigeons”, like in Poland. No tomato sause, just a meat filling mixed with rice, and plain cabbage leaves (or at least that’s how my grandma always cooked them). So cool that there are variations of cabbage rolls in many cultures!

[@aedoria]

I laughed out loud at "can I have spoon" 😂 your daughter has a vibrant personality! She knows what she wants, and she is going to ask for it!

[@irosquaredboku]

The cabbage rolls started out looking a lot like gołąbki (polish stuffed lettuce) and made me so hungry. All the food made me hungrier each minute! Bacon wrapped corn is something my family does often! We use full sized corn cobs, but it looks so cute with the baby corn! (Like little ice cream cones).

[@ilikeelevatormusic2175]

Your courage with tempura eggs is inspiring! 😀

[@teawithlecree5328]

My favourite thing about the way you cook, is that sometimes things don't go as planned but you stick with it and still try your best to make it work. It's very genuine and realistic - we all just trying to make it work. I get the giggles when things like the eggs don't quite end up as you intended. 😅😋

[@bar111a.5]

Hello Imamu! Amazing video! About the first dish, to prevent the egg from defrosting so fast, I recommend you to put the frozen eggs in cold water for a moment (cold water will be warmer than the egg's freezing point temperature so it could actually thaw the eggs slowly just so you can peel them easily), and to put the batter in the fridge for a while so it's cold and won't add heat to the egg, keeping everything cold will help the eggs maintain their cold temperature. Once they're covered in the cold batter you could put them in the freezer again just for a small moment to make sure they're not defrosting/to avoid defrosting, then put them in the hot oil right away (beware of splashing😧😧😧) The eggs you made look amazing and I'm sure they tasted amazing as well ❤️ I just thought of this tips that might help prevent the defrosting of the eggs, I haven't tried these tips but I hope they're helpful ❤️🙌🏻

[@kuleczka10]

Oh! we have similar dish to cabbage rolls in Poland, it's called "gołąbki" (doves :D) and they're stuffed with minced meat and rice, served usually with tomato souce.

[@TinyRacoon]

These are one of my favorite dishes!

[@yonehai]

same here in Ukraine ❤ we call it holubtsi

[@avascales2123]

In Romania it's "Sarmale"

[@ana_d_73]

Your videos give me so much comfort, I usually unwind having dinner watching your videos and it feels so warm and soothing. So far my favourite is the one with the 'Existential Crisis' Smile Potatoes, they're so cute! Thanks for the new upload, and Happy New Year to you and your family! 💖💖💖

[@AlexIsModded]

As others have suggested, soft-boiling before frying will help solve this problem. Or, if you decide to just freeze them again, maybe try what I do to get the shells off: I whack them on the counter, then roll the eggs firmly back and forth on the counter top to crack the shell and easily peel it off.

[@ExtremeHannah]

I love how sometimes it doesn't work exactly like you expected but you press on and get it done anyway. Thanks for showing all of the parts not just the ones that worked out beautifully! Love your channel

[@kristinekornmann9417]

Thank you for showing and working through your troubles with the tempura eggs. Makes things more relatable. There are a lot of videos that only show the perfect works but not many that show what the reality can be. :)

[@heyodi3092]

I was JUST thinking, I wonder when Imamu will upload again. How funny. I’m so excited!!

[@oa4895]

So was I!

[@nothankskava3038]

[@313VeeGaming]

Your creamy corn cabbage roll dish reminds me of a dish I made with my mom and grandma. We mix ground pork and ground beef, add seasoning, add equal part white rice, and then wrap in the leaves. Then they are browned in a frying pan and simmer until tender in tomato sauce. These are both similar to golabkis- what I know as a Polish dish. We saute the cabbage scraps in butter and serve with egg noodles. Mmmm. Thank you for all your videos, it is amazing to watch you. Wishing the best to you and your family ❤

[@Aga_U.]

Poles have come up with another upgraded version: instead of wrapping meat in cabbage leaves, you chop them and add to the meat, and then you put the meatballs in a baking dish, pour over the tomato sauce and bake them. It is a good alternative for using inner cabbage leaves which are small and not as good for wrapping as the outer ones ;)

[@kinkilky7184]

Whoah, your girl appreciate your preparation very much. Her response is just precious. Another beautiful video from Imamu in 2023. Wishing you and family a great and wonderful year ahead.

[@-Rua-]

When Imamu posts you know it's going to be an excellent day! Extremely wholesome and every husbento looked super tasty! I really want to try tempura eggs now.

[@Bashara-Dent]

The crunch of Imamu's fried food is delicious to the ears. It encourages me to get over my hesitance to fry food and my shame over poor past efforts

[@stephaniefagan1736]

Every culture cooks some of the same foods in different ways. Love it. Definitely going to cook the porkchup with sliced pork. Yum! Thanks, Imamu!! Happy, healthy, gainful, prosperous and purposed filled trip around the sun in 2023 to you and your family. Happy Lunar New Year to all.
