I'm a chef, I absolutely cannot believe how stunningly clear his broth is. Asian clear broth soups are astounding. Specifically Chinese and Japanese clear broths.

[@dlk3904]

What Japanese clear broth? They just copied French consomme

[@ronlyon4645]

i like how they picture it as a simple dish so everyone has low expectation.

[@jameslatief1]

It's the cabbage that makes this soup so deceptively plain and lowers one's expectation before drinking the soup.

[@BenjiSun]

love this sichuan consomme. but can't wait for the huaiyang knife skills ep.

[@honeybabie8484]

Omg I love super clear, homy, clean broth! I want to go here!

[@weiner392]

I love super clear, horny, clean broth too!

I just hope that one day i can go to Hongkong to taste all the chinese dishes especially the soup 🤩🥰

CENTURY SOUP! 🌈

[@wisecanadianwoman]

Really enjoy your videos.

[@Goggans]

I love this❤

[@0xBasedChang]

do they do anything with the meat used? seems like a waste to throw it away :(

[@hanayori2277]

The meat has pretty much lost it's flavor into the broth, and putting the meat into the soup would lower it's clarity. We can hope they repurpose the meat but usually it's thrown out.

they feed to dogs

agree.. making clear soup is very difficult

[@Aman-gk1cb]

try it with royco, masako, or totole wkwkwk

[@TY-ij8ng]

This is so delicious.. 👍🏻

[@danidan2174]

so is many other foods

[@harmonk8012]

Duse could have just used a few Knors soup cubes. QED

[@chaikaomoua1169]

So what happens with the meat? Hope they use it for another dish. Or optionally you can request to eat it.

[@erickchandra3771]

I ate it once, looks so plain. But, it's superb delicious 👍 with fu*k*ng expensive.

[@jasmera9889]

[@retahdude]

Proof that eastern cuisine requires technique and high quality ingredients, and how westerners tend to be under the assumption it’s supposed to be cheap

[@halfknots]

Are westerners under that assumption?

[@Krossfyre]

​​@@halfknotsDefinitely. Outside of sushi, there's not really a fancy Asian dish that's well known. There are certainly expensive Asian foods that are becoming known like hotpot and KBBQ, but that's due to the ingredients, you're cooking it yourself so there's no real technique involved. Most Asian foods in the West are known for being fast and cheap, even if the actual preparation is laborious and skillful, like ramen. Ramen is difficult to make, but most people only know it from instant ramen which is fast and cheap. Even actual restaurant ramen in the West is generally not very good except for a few places, usually in large cities, and no matter how excellent it is, ramen is still a fast dish to order because most of the ingredients are already prepared. The thing is most immigrants are not high class chefs. Those chefs, being in such positions, had less reason to immigrate or seek refuge. No matter the change in regime, elites still want fancy food. So what immigrants brought was commoner's dishes. They didn't bring the food of high class restaurants or royal palaces. Most high end Asian restaurants in the West are essentially a new invention, either brought over by recent immigrants or by later generations of immigrants who are transforming the commoner cuisine by mixing in Western trends and techniques.

[@halfknots]

@@Krossfyre I don't disagree with any of what you've said. At the same time the original comment struck me as a weird/inaccurate generalization. It's one thing to say there isn't as much visibility/opportunity for higher integrity or high end eastern cuisine, and another to say people think it's "supposed to be cheap."

[@carlwhy]

well to be fair the narrative for years was that they eat rotten bats which lead to a global pandemic

[@christiansuccesspowerprara4687]

Any clearer and you're about to have some century soup if you know you know

[@SmoothLounge7]

Cheesecloths that is how it’s clear…. Most professional restaurants use it so itty bits of fat or meat aren’t floating in the broth.

[@overseastom]

It's not just the cheesecloth. It's actually the protein "rafts" created by the ground meat added at the end, but of course it should all be strained through the finest mesh available, which is basically cheesecloth. If you watch a video on making consommé, you'll see they use egg whites to perform a similar function.

[@MrMahankumar]

Man. I am sure this must be tasting pretty good. But this is where you can see how wasteful and costly this is and is meant only for rich elites. Look at the amount of meat and vegetables involved in this. So many poor folks could be fed. You should just have money, then in the name of art and high end nonsense, waste social resources.

[@clementchinsterer]

Consomme by French

[@dlk3904]

This technique is documented and hundreds of years older than consommé. French food is so overrated

[@tqnguyenvn]

You have to scrape off the scum every 10-15mins, for 8 hours. What's the technique other than labour intensity? Honestly rather bs

[@tkchau]

Opening a can of chicken broth is also golden

I hope they don't waste the meat. That's some wasteful bourgeoisie nonsense right there
