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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@pagesoflines]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@nonyabeeswax366]

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

[@lethalkrab]

This dudes got super chill vibes

[@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!!!

[@GlendaOllero]

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

[@TheGPFilmMaker]

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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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

[@leygonz2084]

"as long as you don't give af" had me rollin'

[@cameoshmameo]

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

[@pamowen3452]

I love this chef! Gonna make these!

[@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.❤

[@beatmaniaboy]

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

[@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.

[@jadeencarnacion.b2570]

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

[@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.

[@michaelappler5902]

My guy said that packet of duck sauce is New York. He right.

[@kimbarbeaureads]

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

[@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

[@jasminegallegos8280]

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

[@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

[@dacresni]

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

[@lighttraveler7514]

Harold rocks it again! Best of BA!

[@carolinaqgtz]

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

[@cathyburckhardt2787]

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

[@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.

[@boogalo781]

[@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.

[@bobbypentland5764]

Taking on take out! You the man! No body comes close to you! Love egg rolls and my ears are opened, my eyes are opened.! Thanks for sharing this Harold , I really got it down now. See you next time! Which you had your own show. 🧑‍🍳🔥🫑

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.

Funny, I always thought you'd use a cast iron pan *because* you can use metal utensils.

[@alecwhatshisname5170]

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

[@kcazseeley]

@@alecwhatshisname5170 maybe if your really scraping at it but you can always just reseason it and it’ll be good as new

[@JacksonRoye]

Chef/uncle Harold rules.

[@jjkurtz03]

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

[@Reliquancy]

I think there’s usually turmeric in Chinese hot mustard sauce too.

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

I know it had Yellow #5 in it. Not sure if it is still added though.

[@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.

[@liveorletdie101]

I wish I had a bodega or restaurant with Harold cooking in walking distance. I'd find a way to eat there 3-4 days a wk
