[@sebastien5956]

I appreciate that you called Sensei Motokichi "skilled" instead of "talented". As an artist (not a cook or chef or anything, though I'm learning), chalking up results to "talent" discounts all the practise put in. You can have a talent for a craft, but to be good at it you need to practise to turn that talent into skill.

[@ShotasPOV]

Ayy thanks for the quick feature! I actually got the opportunity to learn from the Omurice master himself too 🙏🙏

[@Kyouno]

Sensei Motokichi actually travelled to Mexico at one point to teach people how to make Omurice there. So there’s definitely a great chance he will accept your invitation and teach you it himself! He also has a KZbin channel called “KichiKichi Omurice motokichi” where he normally do vlogs or cooking tutorials there. You should definitely check it out Uncle Roger!

[@masahirukouta21]

its not “there is a chance”, Sensei Motokichi will definitely accept it, considering his personality

[@matthewenfinger766]

I would love to see the two of them do a video together and have Uncle Roger try making it himself. Obviously he'd excel at the fried rice, but the omelet 😅 would love to find out how many tries it'd take him to get it right 😅. Also, I wanna visit Japan someday and eat at his place, the food looks amazing. Obviously that's not the only reason I wanna visit, but it's part of it. 😊

When I was in culinary school my teacher was insane about us learning to flip an egg in a pan without breaking the yolk. At the time I didn't get it why it was so important but i was so excited when i finally mastered it. Watching stuff like this just reminded me of how hard it is to learn the art and how good it feels to master it.

[@justsomeguy2825]

I love how chef motokichi describes his own experience learning how to cook omurice. It took him several months to do it exactly right, but once he did, he was amazed, and was able to do it perfectly ever since. Thats why hes so nice to first timers, because he knows how long it takes to properly develop a skill.

There was a Korean restaurant in Duluth, Georgia named Pepper Garden. Their omurice has a light cream sauce that was the perfect balance between sweet and savory. They closed down and I haven't been able to find anything like it since.

[@katsu-san4003]

Chef motokichi is the 1st person to have gotten the sensei title from Uncle Roger , he really is very skilled indeed

[@MarkKatz2772-jg3tc]

I love how wholesome and just impressive that episode was. It's such a difficult dish to make that even Uncle Roger can't help but be impressed by a result that is not perfect, by Andrew I think his name was, his attempt. And then Chef Motokichi... Very fitting that he would get an Uncle+ title. My jaw dropped twice during his performance, when he first did those really crazy tosses, without even looking at the pan, really, and just catching everything perfectly. And when he tossed the omelet onto the plate through the air, and it landed and split by itself perfectly... It's like beholding a divine miracle, or something. Absolutely incredible!

[@ErdingerLi]

Really proud of Andrew actually, he got it day one. He only needs to practice a few more times at home and he'll likely perfect it

[@MALEMization]

Actually, he did a separate video where he REDID that Omurice by himself! Look for it!

[@saldiven2009]

One quick expansion to what Uncle Roger said. "Kodawari" (拘り) means "obsession, fixation, pickiness," and it can also refer to a restaurant's specialty. "Kodawarinuku" (こだわり抜く) means "to refuse to compromise on quality." That's probably closer to what Uncle Roger means about the Japanese desire to strive towards perfection. (But, I'm not a native speaker, so there are probably nuances and connotations that I don't fully understand.)

[@samthesuspect]

This dude is so humble, you know he has a line out the door every day, but he stays in his OG shop, putting on a show that makes everyone's day that sees it, while showing off his world class skills.

Actually it’d be interesting to see Uncle Roger react to the omurice scene from the movie Tampopo.

[@pedroneves7153]

He actually passed the recipe to Andrew for Andrew to do it again in the US. If I recall it's in his KZbin channel and he also uses a motokichi pan that chef motokichi sells.

Sensei Motokichi energy is so wonderful he reminds me of uncle Iroh for those few days he got to make tea with zuko and then was invited to serve the Earth king, and he was so ecstatic because he was Recognized for something that he loves dearly, Making people happy. Sensei Moto puts a pound of love on every plate, and i'm so happy he gets to share his passion with the world.
