This is pretty cool... When my three grandsons (ages 5, 9, 11) visit I usually quiz them during dinner on what they have learned at school in the past week or two... So, next time they visit me I will have fortune cookies for each of them with the quiz questions...

[@alexsoto5403]

Just a couple of chinese proverbs I copy-pasted from a website and google translated them. Hipefully you guys will find them amusing: Chinese: “學而不思則罔，思而不學則殆。” Proper translation: “Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.” Google translate: "If you don't think, you don't think about it. If you don't learn, then you can learn." Chinese: “吾日三省吾身：爲人謀而不忠乎？與朋友交而不信乎？傳不習乎？” Proper: “I daily examine myself on three points:- whether, in transacting business for others, I may have been not faithful;- whether, in intercourse with friends, I may have been not sincere;- whether I may have not mastered and practiced the instructions of my teacher.” Google: "My three provinces are my own: I am not loyal to people? I don't believe in my friends? I don't care?" Chinese: “不患人之不己知，患不知人也。” Proper: “I will not be afflicted at men’s not knowing me; I will be afflicted that I do not know men. Google: "I don't know if I don't know people, I don't know people." Chinese: “朝聞道，夕死可矣！” Proper: “If a man in the morning hears the right way, he may die in the evening without regret.” Google: "When you hear the news, you can die in the evening!" Chinese: “德不孤，必有鄰。” Proper: “Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbours.” Google: "Don't be alone, there must be neighbors."

I have enjoyed and learn so much by watching your Cooking tutorials. The one thing I like the most is your enthusiasm for cooking. When I get in the kitchen, I concentrate so hard I don’t even answer the phone if it rings. Lol. I am definitely going try to make these fortune cookies. Wish me luck...

[@barkingmad50]

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I watched this episode. Quite a few years ago I owned a cookware shop & cooking school. When we were moving to a larger location, we planned to host an opening party. My assistant manager & I decided we could cater the party ourselves, (because we were much younger & so much more foolish). Among the things we decided to prepare were from-scratch fortune cookies. 35 dozen hand made fortune cookies! All of which needed to be baked the two nights before the store's opening, in order to ensure the cookies were crisp. You know that episode of "I Love Lucy" when she was working in the candy factory?... Yep, that was us. All of our fortunes we're food related: 'Quiche a Happy Cook & Lose Your Fear of Frying', 'Elvis Parsley Gave Us Thyme of Our Lives', one was about the cost of pot, etc. In addition, some fortunes were sale coupons. The fortune cookies were a big hit, but I still get a small case of hives every time I think back to making them. * If I remember correctly, our recipe was very similar to yours; I know we used only the whites of eggs. (But no sesame oil!) We made the cookies a bit smaller than yours - & so would you if you were making 420 of them! Ah, food memories

[@Phreakrider]

[@kamrin2501]

So good Master sifu chef John... 🙏👍🏻🤣 Thanks for ur channel we really learn alot from your cooking and your recipe. And cooking is so much fun these days.

[@docb8316]

A friend of mine pulled the fortunes from some premade cookies and replaced them with kind of cryptic announcements of her pregnancy. It went over so well with the whole family as they (she and her husband) had called her parents and said they would pick up takeout for the family so her mother didn't have to cook. It made a great memory for everyone.

Hats off to you, this is the most brilliant idea for a video ever.

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

I LOVE that you did a recipe video for fortune cookies. I never knew I needed to make these before today but now I feel compelled to. I also never knew they were so easy to make. I’m not sure I or anyone I know has ever had a fresh fortune cookie! I wish there were more than one thumbs up button because I need about five for this video. I laughed so hard. “Well played, Universe, well played.”

[@williewilliams8707]

Sr, John you are AMAZING I always thought only Chinese could make these cookies ...thank you very much very interesting video ... I will try to make this cookies ..... thank you

"Good taste is easy. Cooking is hard. That's why you call takeout." This is real. I have it on my fridge.

[@fluffycritter]

"A broken cookie will tell you nothing, but a broken heart will." That is a perfect example of what we call an "Escher sentence" - one which appears to make perfect sense at first read but falls apart once you start trying to parse it. Fortunately, this one could be repaired as "A broken cookie won't tell you anything, but a broken heart will." You are, after all, the cunning linguist of your twisted English.

[@kaorimakino]

it's strange but your comment brought back to my heart some forgotten sweet feelings. thanks a lot, you trully made my day :)

[@arslan3613]

“No matter where you go, there you are” this literally changed my entire perspective about life, i feel happier and optimistic. 👌

[@ExcenGaming]

Great idea for these. If your taking your family to Disney World or something similar, you can put "We're going to Disney World!" and let the kids open them after dinner. If I was a kid and a fortune cookie told me I was going to Disney World, I'd flip!

[@RenHeng_canon]

"Look behind you." I'm gonna go with this one, lol.

[@jonathanrobertson3406]

All of your videos are cool, but this was one of the best. I love the idea of putting your own "fortunes" into them for your dinner guests to discover, you know, for life coaching purposes.

Right? Fortune cookies used to taste good. Now they taste like plastic. 😝

[@sandysleatham2212]

FANTASTIC! Only thing I miss is cayenne. I love the constant cayenne Chef John. Reminds me of ancient friend who, when she moved into aged care home said she “loves how the chef here does the mashed potato, he puts a big pinch of CANINE in!”

Couldnt you also cook them on a very nonstick pan stove top? Then use a cutter to get a perfect circle. I think that might make getting the fold to be more cooperative. Or just squish the with a stamped cookie before they cool to make crispy cookies, or something fun to ice. Make it big enough and you could do ice cream bowls by draping the hot cookie over a form, or make your own cone.
