Perfect Egg Rolls: Homemade vs Takeout | Taking On Takeout | Bon Appétit

[@Chef_PC]

Easily one of the best “new” chefs on after the whole BA fiasco. More of this guy please.

Hi i am Harold, i am chef. Yeeeh, yeah i bet you are mr fluffy XD

[@Killert0fuu]

“I had an egg roll before I came in” idk why that made me giggle but more chef Harold he’s so wholesome.

[@ElleAlexandria]

😂 me too! I cracked up

[@CarlGorn]

Likable, fun, and real, sure. But wholesome? Not with that mouth. lol

[@yeadogthazmyboi]

@@CarlGorn it’s trendy to call people wholesome. It doesn’t have to make sense

[@CarlGorn]

@@yeadogthazmyboi I've always cared about the actual meaning of words more than trends. Trends are worthless, and in this case, literally meaningless.

[@yeadogthazmyboi]

@@CarlGorn I agree. I was being tongue in cheek.

[@pagesoflines]

I'm going to keep asking for this - I need Harold & Brad on a video producing maximum chaos energy plz

[@jamesburns679]

Best part about chef Harold is that his ability to cook is so versatile. Probably the best chef on the roster right?

[@junior123456776]

Dude yes. I wish he was here since the beginning

[@EntrigenT]

The best new real relatable person.

[@fucktard710]

@@EntrigenT I agree with you, the new roster lacks character. So many snowflakes it’s hard to keep count

[@CufflinksAndChuckles]

He worked at a lot of impressive places, like Per Se, Noma, and Batard, each of them being Michelin star restaurants. The foremost being Noma which had been touted as one of the best restaurants in the world for several years.

[@nia-yl7lq]

@@fucktard710 The original bunch lacked character, so I don’t even know what your comment even means. Especially the snowflakes part

[@travisjo801]

This guy needs a "Gourmet Makes" show where he just makes stuff like the egg rolls. He's great.

[@RR_1138]

Yes, he’s not disgusting like Munchies Matty

[@rivendoto]

as far as the current flow of these series are going, I think this is his show now

[@shamusot00le]

My guy, this is that! Taking on Take out

[@MargaritaaaaaZzZ]

this guy ROCKS I like him even more than Chris!! GIVE HIM HIS OWN SHOW ALREADY

[@lukebarforosh8656]

i love unc so much, i wish he was here with the old crew, that would've been an awesome dynamic

[@nonyabeeswax366]

“the fan is on so we dont die” I like this guy- he’s speaking my language xD

[@christianhenrriquez1354]

I love that Harold doesn’t front. He loves what he does and he tells you how it is. He makes cooking feel less scary!

[@AGTsakumis]

One of the best chef presenters EVER! Charismatic, humorous and informative. Super easy to follow. Wonderful video.

[@AGTsakumis]

Harold is so relatable and appealing as a character, you should consider giving him his own regular segment.

[@Taric25]

Hardly, he swears all the time, when he knows they're gonna beep it out anyway. You can accomplish a lot without swearing.

[@charlieybaltimore8017]

You know you’re a great chef when you’re cooking and the person watching this doesn’t even like egg rolls but my mouth is watering!!!

[@crowofcrius]

Worst thing about this show is, that after watching this, im hungry for some takeout and usually end up ordering some in.

[@jurgeysamuel]

Just about to get on grubhub

[@iamfilipinas]

Omg yes lol especially when he bit on all of them egg rolls. Nom nom

[@AskMiko]

Agree… the crunch alone made me place an order!

[@lethalkrab]

This dudes got super chill vibes

[@GlendaOllero]

Chef Harold perfected his egg rolling technique at Lola Villarosa’s lumpia boot camp. Great video. Best presenter on the BA channel.

[@bbyvie]

You basically have, in the order of most meticulous/precise to least meticulous/precise (imo): Chris -> Andy -> Brad -> Harold What a range of all types of chefs!!

[@TheGPFilmMaker]

The world does not deserve Chef Harold. What a freaking gem!

[@jonathanterry0]

So how do you get over not using a recipe? Chef Harold: "Just don't give a f&%#." lol

[@OsirusHandle]

Recipes are only "needed" for really technical chemistry things like baking perfect cakes or making caramel or something, everything else is just experiencing flavour!

[@shockalockabocka]

Saute the cabbage etc to evaporate some of the moisture. Blanching seems like it would waterlog the veggies so when they fry, steam gets trapped inside and they either bust or they get soggy too quickly. This is def the case when u make OG Vietnamese style egg rolls w rice paper which are a lil more finicky than wheat wrappers.

[@theresathorne1030]

God I love him so refreshing to just go with the flow that’s what real cooking is all about and making it fun

[@cameoshmameo]

we need more harold pls!!! i wanna see him w his own series like brad just cooking food he wants to cook:))

[@moeruss2726]

I really enjoy Harold’s videos. He’s not pretentious like some other Chefs are and his dishes look amazing. More videos with him cooking please.❤

[@karenb1430]

We call it plum sauce in Canada (I believe they call it Plum sauce in Australia as well). As far as I know plum sauce is an actual thing that originated in China but the duck sauce was a North American invention. And now in North America and Australia it’s all become the same as the duck sauce. I wonder what different people call the mystery packs of yellow orange sauce they get with egg rolls in different areas?

[@lindsayoakes]

I assume plum sauce is made with plums not apricots though

[@yukjellybeans]

If anyone is interested there is a very interesting episode of the podcast "why we eat what we eat" called what the heck is duck sauce? about it's origins. Check it out :)

[@beatmaniaboy]

I like this guy! Best chef on since the ba fiasco more of him please

[@jasminegallegos8280]

More chef Harold please!! He’s hilarious and refreshingly real.

[@pamowen3452]

I love this chef! Gonna make these!

[@kimbarbeaureads]

I love making egg rolls and lumpia. Basically anything that involves rolling and frying.

[@leygonz2084]

[@cececola]

More take out recreation recipes please by Chef Harold! He's so wholesome and chill

[@cathyburckhardt2787]

this was a great video. Gave me the confidence to try making my own egg rolls. Thanks

[@mattfillmore6297]

in Chicago they put a lil bit of peanut butter in the mixture that goes into the egg rolls and its a game changer

[@lion037]

Cheater tip: Use bag coleslaw for quick veggie prep.

[@callitags]

The hot mustard and duck sauce mix is something I've been doing since the 90s, because my elderly aunt showed me that's what she did, and they're so perfect together.

[@lighttraveler7514]

Harold rocks it again! Best of BA!

[@carolinaqgtz]

I would like to see a video about the people who restock the pantry :)

When he said "MA man I have no idea 😂😂😂😂" made me so happy idk why 🤭

[@tangentofaj]

14:56 -- The fact that you have so many cuts of you saying your ending catchphrase... you don't even need to say it anymore. Bon Appetit can add in a super cut of you saying it instead. 😂

[@8cupsCoffee]

I actually couldn’t understand what he was saying 😅

[@dacresni]

lol, the text commentary seems to have found a humor that meshes with his own.

[@michaelappler5902]

[@Astronautin]

[@Aleks-kz2lc]

We need more Brad and Harold 🤣🤣 Harold's awesome 🤝🙌

[@preponement]

I enjoyed this. I've never blanched the veggies, always quick stir-fried them. I'll try the blanche method. A tip: let the veg/filling sit in a fine strainer for 30 minutes to drain more liquid before rolling.

[@KeithOcean]

I use A metal scraper/cutter on the cast iron!! ALL GOOD!!! do what works, for me it doesn't mess up seasoning @6:48

[@JPzizou]

Can you do this with Vietnamese summer rolls? And the peanut sauce

[@JPzizou]

@@majoroldladyakamom6948 you fool. A recreation video...

[@taylorp6643]

Love this! I hope BA makes him a regular show like Claire has

[@recless8667]

You can absolutely use a metal spoon on cast iron. You're supposed to season it yourself, guys; it's okay to occasionally scratch through the seasoning. You're going to replace that seasoning anyway.

[@jjkurtz03]

Anyone who gets mad about using metal utensils on cast iron has no idea how cast iron seasoning works. It's not Teflon.

[@lingpang7209]

Danggg Harold cracks me up and keeps it so real.

[@kathyb2201]

I think the “duck sauce” is what we call “plum sauce” in Western Canada.

[@emilymakescoffee1741]

Growing up in Oregon, our local Chinese restaurants always batter/tempura dipped the egg rolls and fried them. It’s absolute heaven. And red sauce, not duck sauce

[@yeadogthazmyboi]

Is the red sauce sweet? Is it like sweet and sour sauce?

[@CocoMorante]

Oh what restaurant? Fellow Oregonian here but I’ve never had tempura fried egg rolls.

[@YouTube_can_ESAD]

This series rocks, love this guy, much respect.

[@c4manke]

A Chinese restaurant I grew up eating at used peanut butter to seal their rolls, the place is known for their rolls! I compare the rest of the US's rolls when I travel and it stands alone on the top of the flavor mountain.

? Can't metal mess up the seasoning on cast iron?
