A trick I learned from my old head chef was to put the thyme in the freezer keeping it in the bag you’d bought it in. After it has frozen you gently crush the bag which dislodges all the thyme leaves off of the stems. Then open the bag and pour out the frozen thyme leaves into a container and keep it in the freezer. Probably one of the most thyme-saving tricks I learned.

They will turn brown after you freeze them. I learned the same trick from my old head chef and some time later I used it in another restaurant for a thyme butter - not the herb butter look you'd prefer. Choose wisely if you can tolerate browning of the herbs for your recipe.
@RustySmeg3 жыл бұрын
@@bafhaf that’s because you’re not cooking the thyme, you’ve just defrosted it and used it in a herb butter. The freezer will have degraded cell structure and so it will oxidise faster. Cooking will stop oxidation.

When pouring chicken broth from those kinds of box containers, try holding it so the pour spout is on the top instead of the bottom, ie the pour spout is the maximum distance from the pot. It takes some getting used to, but this method eliminates all glugging because air can freely enter the container as you pour.

A tip for pouring stuff from boxes of milk, stock, juice, etc.: Hold it with the nozzle at the top, not the bottom! (At least until it's almost empty.) Reason: If you hold the pack such that the nozzle is at the bottom (like most people do), air has trouble entering the box and you'll get slow splashy/gurgling flow. If you hold it such that it's at the top, air can flow in unhindered and the flow of liquid is fast & smooth. (And due to the arc / horizontal acceleration it won't drip along the box or something like that, just flow as usual.)
@Alex36Quest3 жыл бұрын
Hey Kenji, one of my favourite tricks with big cartons like the stock you used is to pour with the opening close to my hand, so the opening is at the top of the carton. Then it almost doesn't gulp and is a lot easier to control. I hope you understand what I mean -- you kinda turn the carton 180 degrees so the opening is furthest from the tip of your thumb and index finger.

I’m sure at least a few folks are going to ask me, who am I to critique the chef’s recipe, but maybe some of you will enjoy my tweaks. I put my mushroom soup in a blender (as Kenji mentioned as an alternative) and I add about a tablespoon of garlic olive oil before I blend the soup for about 30-45 seconds. The oil not only adds a wonderful depth, it also aids the emulsification and thus the soup is creamier. Also, I reserve some of my mushrooms to add after blending so I have a little chunk in my creamy soup. Last, I often top it off with hand grated parmesan cheese. Pro tips: If you like it decadent use half and half or whipping cream in smaller measurements instead of, or in addition to milk, and use Pacific’s mushroom broth instead of chicken or ordinary vegetable stock. Sneak two or three baby carrots or half of a sweet onion in your broth for a little sweetness. A splash of white wine is the $30 a bowl version😋

Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.

LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

omg this video randomly saved my recipe. I made a new soup last night - acorn squash, but with apples. it was seasoned right, and had the right ratios of main ingredients, but it just felt like the apples took over. I was disappointed. I sat down and this video was in my recommended. 18:03 - you state the importance of acid and add some lemon juice, mentioning that if the food isn't popping, it needs acid. I ran back into the kitchen, cut a lemon in half, added it.....the soup was instantly perfect. thats all it needed. THANK YOU.

Can you please make kabsa? It's an Arabic twist on biriyani, it's an Arabic rice dish usually made with chicken (the most common) or lamb (the best of the best for kabsa) or goat, goat is similar to lamb but in Arabic traditions it's considered disrespectful to serve it to guests, but it's a good choice if you're chilling out with friends I'd be really happy if you could make kabsa with any of these meats

Thank you Kenji for introducing me to one of the best soups I have ever had in my life. Just tried this recipe with white button, baby Bella, and shiitake. Went by the precise recipe but used leeks instead of onions. Finished it off with some lemon zest, cured egg yolk, and black truffle infused oil.

This video reminded me that I had half a thing of mushrooms in the fridge. It's literally 2 AM and I got up, cooked them down then followed by Red Onion in oil, then added butter. Cranked it all in my hand chopper, put it back, added stock, salt, pepper, and then some milk. Used dried parsley flakes and added shredded parm and it turned out pretty damn good. I wasn't expecting to cook anything and I ended up making something I'd love to make again. Awesome vid

Commercial mushroom farms sterilise their soils to maximize yields as it won't infect the mycelium and ruin the batch. Obviously do not eat the dirt but it won't kill you if some get in the dish.

You just broke my brain with the mushroom smashing. I’ve wasted so much time... could have gone to Mars by now with all the unnecessary mushroom slicing I’ve done.
@ashamancito46302 жыл бұрын
I saw your video and made the soup today. It was really good. I tried the smashing mushroom "technique", and to my surprise there was a benefit I did not anticipate. There were a lot more craggly bits on the pieves of mushroom, which led to faster and much deeper browning. The mushrooms started expelling moisture a lot quicker as well. So not only did I get a good recipe from you, yet again, I also might start dealing with mushrooms like you did in the video more often. I might try making a fried mushroom topping, where I smash and rip the mushrooms to even smaller pieces, for maximum Malliard Reaction. I cannot understate how excited I am about this, the flavour of thoroughly browned mushroom bits I kept trying were amazing.

3:55 One trick I learned: Sauté the mushrooms either _dry_ or with a little bit of tap/filtered (depends on how many minerals you have) water until they've released their moisture and softened up and the moisture has evaporated. Take off the heat. Add in oil/butter and return to heat. Sauté until browned to satisfaction. Enjoy even browning, soft yet al dente structure and a perfect balance of fatty, roasted and mushroom flavours.
