The moment you pointed out he has a soft Irish accent completely blew my mind, every word with and "or" sound like Ireland or airport he pronounces "ur" with an Irish accent! It reminds me of a Japanese friend I had who learned English in Australia and had the weirdest accent you've ever heard

"And the yolk is blue. It's kinda normal, right?" --said Steven He, the one guy bringing the Jolly team to the restaurant. I died the moment he said that 🤣

[@sarahcoleman5269]

It could be from the tea, but I think it's a known measure of the egg being boiled too long. The sulfur (?) in the yolk starts to gather around the edges and turns green. I think the English generally soft-boil their eggs, so they probably don't see that very often.

[@reeeyou]

@@sarahcoleman5269 yep you are most definitely right. it’s definitely overcooked eggs. Tea eggs are often left to cook in the herb tea broth, and left it in for hours for the flavour to seep into the egg. So they are most often overcooked, hence turning the egg yolks greyish blue. But that’s normal. But nothing to do with tea, just overcooked hard boil eggs.

[@Fisumestari]

[@edpotter1170]

@@sarahcoleman5269 yep true. It's very common in Asian countries to soak eggs in water filled with herbs for hours or even days depending on the recipe. Also boiled eggs are often eaten like snacks, so overcooking the eggs help get them firmer to be eaten wherever, and last longer if we don't want to eat them right away.

Blue around the egg yolk is fine, it happens when you boil an egg for more than 15 minutes or so, which is needed to get tea flavor to seep into the egg

[@cathybaggott2873]

Let's explain it clearly: There is a small amount of sulphur in egg yolks Sulphur evaporates when food is cooked but it is trapped inside a boiled egg and migrates out of the yolk the longer it is heated. We need trace amounts of sulphur in our diets so it's all good.

[@sherriv4860]

[@haneulnophi]

very normal. they have to overcook it, that's how they infused the tea flavor in it.

[@beverlyhayshouston2770]

It’s a chemical reaction from the sulfur and the iron that occurs naturally in the egg whites and yolk.

[@valenciasrei8105]

My home economics teacher also told us the blue/grey in egg yolks are because of overcooking it😂

[@soaringaegis]

"Overcooking" an egg is a Western concept. Traditionally, hard-boiled eggs in Chinese culture, especially tea eggs, were cooking and infusing in roadside stalls before refrigeration, and had to keep. It's similar to how hot dog carts are continuously boiling the hot dogs. It's only recently that it became trendy to avoid the sulfur reaction when hard-boiling eggs. Otherwise, Chinese people don't really care.

In case any one's wondering, have a blue yolk is due to over boiling an egg, it's just a chemical reaction, not because it's a tea egg, it's perfectly safe to eat. Btw, that's not really a 'tea egg'. For tea egg to properly marinade, usually they will gentle crack the shell of the egg and let it sit in this huge pot of tea and herbs until the customer picks one.

[@violetviolet888]

rev: Technically it IS a "tea egg", while it's more visually appealing/interesting with crazed/cracked texture, that this is not does not mean it is not a tea egg as it was still cooked with the same spices.

5:58 that guy who came up had a really kind smile 😊

So happy to see you guys in NYC, and w/Steven of all people. Those tea eggs were looking a lil' pale though. Normally you'd crack the shell a bit while cooking so the tea can seep in. Gives much more flavor and also nice random vein-y patterns to the surface. Both the eggs and cheung fun are some of my favorite foods. Oh and I can also attest to the konjac jelly being really good. I picked some boxes up at our local Hmart years ago and they're one of the few not actual sugar items that I really like.

[@drpepper7747]

Dude I was just thinking the same thing, that egg was super pale. Often the tea is also mixed with other things like soy sauce that should have made it way darker too. The canteen at my office lets them soak for like 24hours before serving them, so even though the shells aren't cracked they are much darker.

[@cassienix2471]

Yes, from the look and the blue yolk, they skipped a step to make them faster. Pity as that affects the taste

[@howardfjs]

Steven is just a genuine and humble person

The world's changed so much. When I was the age of the guy from Switzerland, I was excited about getting an autograph in Paris from the movie stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Ursula Andress, who were having a leisurely meal at a restaurant right next to the river Seine. Being recognized does give you a high as long as you're not hounded by fans. I was a radio DJ in a major American music market for 25 years, and I couldn't believe when somebody recognized my voice at a restaurant or elsewhere.

To be fair, Steven did get what he asked for - at 0:51 he ordered ‘… and one peanut butter sandwich’ no mention of jelly/jam. I had never heard of Steven, or the meme, but I now have another channel to go and peruse which makes me happy 😃

[@nataliereed295]

This was great. Loved Steven’s enthusiasm. His enjoyment of the food and company just brought great energy.

[@Paperfriend12]

Yall had tons of Korean food, now im excited to see your reaction on some authentic Chinese. Dim sum, noodle soups, off cuts, chili oil goodness.

[@falconlore9666]

This was really really nice seeing you guys with Steven He I watch his videos. Oh and as an FYI a "BLUE" or green edging to the yolk is similar to oxidation. The process happens when the egg is over cooked, the whites get too hard and release their hydrogen and it mixes with the sulfur yolk. If an egg is perfectly cooked you will only have the faintest hint or film blue/green layer between the yolk and the white. If you want to prevent this discoloration try "hard cooking" vs "hard boiling" your eggs. The green can also become more prevalent if you have allot of iron in your water you use to cook your eggs.

I really like the emotional damage meme, we used to say emotional damage before but way more sparingly But with the tone he did it with revolutionized it 😂

[@romee-elise]

One more episode with Steven please. Actually would like to hear more about Face of Beijing Corn😂 Really love the parents flex videos that Steven’s dad proud of his son cooking minute rice in 58 seconds 😊

[@kirab.5598]

One of their best interviews, and I've been watching this channel for years! I enjoy Steven He's videos and was really happy to see all three of them having so much fun ☺️

[@thatgirl9532]

Ahh another Jolly international collab happy to see it!! I hope we get to see reunions with Steven Lim and Keith from The Try Guys soon 🙏 Also hope you get to collaborate with Mikey Chen one day I mean he is an expert with international food!!!

'Cheung fun' is definitely a favourite dim sum item, and it takes skill to make by pouring the rice batter over cloth in steamer drawers, to be rolled with different fillings. It is one of those dishes that people (esp. the grandmas who are ruthless) will storm the dim sum cart for as soon as it comes out of the kitchen to get a plate. Bring your stamp card. Tip - get a table near the kitchen if you are in a big dim sum place with the carts. If you are seated really far away good luck getting your favourite items. Also, if you are in a cart dim sum place (more and more rare unfortunately), probably avoid the servers coming around with a tray of random dishes. They probably won't be quite as fresh - ie perhaps not piping hot. If you want a special large dish such as a nice pile of Chinese greens or noodles, ask your server and it will be made fresh for you. Regardless, it will be fun, and go with a group so that you can try lots of things. As with all restaurants, if there are a lot of people tucking in, most likely a good sign. Another tip - drink lots of the tea and refill for others. It helps with digestion as some things can be deep fried (and yummy). To me, my favourite kind of brunch. Don't worry if you don't know the names of things, the aunties with the carts will lift the steamer lids and things and you can see if you think something looks good and just point, and they will give you a smile.

I ❤ this video from an over 50 yo fan! EMOTIONAL DAMAGE to say that out loud. I love that I can connect with my teens through Steven and I just discovered this British food tasting channel also! I saw the biscuits and gravy video. My cousin lives there. Come to New Mexico and try our chili dishes. Santa Fe,NM is the Savannah of the Southwest.

Steven He is one of the funniest comedians, in my opinion. I love watching his commentaries on people cooking various Asian dishes. His dry comedic narratives are hysterical!
