Pork Katsudon from Yuri!!! On Ice | Anime with Alvin

[@miccocruz]

I love how you can hear that Alvin is getting more confident in his voiceovers. Great job

[@Woodshadow]

Getting better for sure. It felt like Babish always had it together from the start but he really didn't. His newer videos are way better and Alvin will continue to grow as well

[@xmercilessliex1195]

At first Babish branching out felt like he was abandoning his family, it felt like he was just trying to make money. But after meeting the new family I'm quite glad. I hope the Ratata stays. I grew up with them and it fits the style so much, they weren't really known about until nowadays.

[@Holland1917]

Couldn’t listen to him at first. Drove me crazy, now he’s really rolling. Keep going

[@HSFullSendRP]

Why is no one simping for Alvin ?!

[@marthadanielle3228]

yay alvin ❤️

[@CHEFPKR]

Katsudon is such a comfort food dish. One of my favorite variations is mixing in some pickled veg or making kimchi fried rice to give it that pop.

[@BacknBodyHurt]

I enjoy your comments. Do you only comment on the Anime based foods he do?

[@MythicFox]

There's a local Japanese restaurant that serves katsudon, and they always tuck a few pieces of pickled daikon into the bowl.

[@Darkedge361]

I remember the first time i had Katsudon i was in Japan, and they served it with a bowl of pickled veg on the side, i remember it mostly cause i thought the eggs were cheese at first, but it was great.

[@giblesdestruct]

I made your deku katsudon. One of the best things I ever ate.

[@jujubean4873]

CHEFPK SAMA!!!

[@ChampsJapaneseKitchen]

Wow making your own Panko! That's something not even most Japanese people will do when they make tonkatsu, so impressive! Did you know katsudon in Japan for some reason is very closely associated with detective drama movies? In Japan we say that if you feed a suspect katsudon in their interrogation room they will think of their mom and confess!

[@RYNNXN89]

champ x alvin is the crossover we need

[@airamplane1234]

I love how Alvin didn't waste any of the bread crusts. Nice work!

[@MrsMster]

5 years ago, when I first watched Yuri!!! On Ice I really wanted to have that katsudon. Really grateful for you showing us how to make it and maybe one day I will try it for myself!

[@sagrinne9922]

i was fortunate to live close to a japanese restaurant, i get to have katsudon whenever i have enough money

[@kaniphish]

Panko is made by cooking the breaddough with electricity instead of oven heat. that's why panko is so white. It doesn't get burned. also that method creates that airyness you don't get from normal breadcrumbs.

[@allgreatfictions]

Despite this being my favourite anime, I had to click off the minute he said he was using normal everyday bread for making his own panko. That's not how panko works, and there's so many reasons why.

[@mcgovemj]

@@allgreatfictions No, the *bread* is baked with electrical current.

[@Jim-tb7sj]

@@allgreatfictions that’s either cap, or it’s the pettiest thing I’ve heard today…‘I clicked off a cooking video because the person cooking it made one variation thus ruining the entire meal and video’…that’s you

[@ayaj8825]

@Levi Griffin the texture is completely different. When bread is made with electricity, it becomes much more crispy. There’s a cool KZbin video that covers it somewhere. I saw it like half a year ago.

[@SweetestWalrus]

@@Jim-tb7sj I didn't click off but I can understand why you might tune out of a tutor's lesson if they open with info that you already know to be incorrect.

Everytime I watch any of Alvins episodes I love how he shares his food with his coworkers/friends. It is really wholesome

[@DarrianAki]

It’s kinda interesting how we all grow up differently hearing different sayings. I always knew the difference between Stalactites and stalagmites by the phrase, “hang tightly, stand mightily,” but not everyone heard that phrase growing up!

[@AzureKyle]

For me, it was always "Stalactites hang tight, stalagmites stand with might"

[@lunatickgeo]

with me, stalactites have a "c" for ceiling, and stalagmites have a "g" for ground

[@oouziii4679]

This is all wizardry. I just tell people I have no idea what they talking about. Much easier

[@lexthequeer]

My mum always said, “when the mites go up, the tites come down!” Like bugs going up your legs so you have to pull down your tights. Gross, but I haven’t forgotten which is which hahaha!

[@rjploops]

I never had any sayings but stalagMites - M looks like spikes from the ground stalacTites - T looks (kinda) like a spike from the ceiling

[@embersparks13]

I never expected a Yuri on Ice episode!! So happy to see this recipe!

[@rachelise11]

My dad taught me that the way to know the difference between stalactites and stalagmites is that stalactites have a C in their name, and they hang from the Ceiling, and stalagmites have a G in their name, and they stand on the Ground.

[@ElSuperNova23]

Panko is produced with an electrical current, which is why it appears and feels significantly different from blended breadcrumbs. Less oily/more cirspy because the oil can drain and water can escape, and tends to stay crispier when making a -don.

[@TheMimiSard]

Alvin seasoning the flour reminds me of Adam Ragusea. "Why I season my flour, not my pork!".

[@gabbonoo]

not enough wine

[@hellstoastt]

put in 20 eggs, yes 20

[@EsKpistOne]

"and if you don't season the flour I will throw you under the broiler, or what Brits would call a grill."

[@fernandinaneptune6549]

I have the biggest crush on Alvin. I love that you guys incorporate anime dishes cuz sometimes you receive d shows I never heard of then get hooked on.

[@Maria_Erias]

The way to remember the difference between stalagmite and stalactite: stalaGmite has a G in it because they're on the Ground. StalaCtite has a C in it because they're on the ceiling.

Cooking With Dog has the best recipes! Chef's karaage is unbelievable! I also recommend her garlic steak and rice burger recipes. Made her yakiniku recipe last week and it was fantastic, will be trying out her favorite hamburger recipe this week and I'm hyped!

[@thoughtsofaleo2916]

Vkusno! Great job! Story time: This was one of the dishes that made me, for lack of a better word, a foodie and helped me discover that I legitimately love cooking. Yuri on Ice was very much a comfort show to me because of school stress in 2016. I always saw the gorgeous food they had in each episode, which made me want to learn about what each dish was, where I could eat them, and how to make them myself. That then led me to exploring the Asian food scene in my town, which I, despite being Asian myself, had barely known about until then. Long story short, I ended up working as a chef for about six months before the schedule got a bit too crazy between that and school (there's a reason being a chef is a full-time job.) But I'll always look at katsudon with so much love because it not only is one of my favorite dishes period from one of my favorite anime, but it helped me learn about and appreciate food so much more to the point that my entire feed is all cooking channels.

The way I was taught to remember which is which with stalagmites and stalactites is a little convoluted but works [though maybe slightly UK centric as you call tights, pantyhose over there]. Imagine a picnic, that gets invaded by ants, they get everywhere & in a panic to get them off of her the girl removes her tights. "So the mites [ants] crawl up & the tights come down." Oh all those cut off crusts were just begging for some soft boiled eggs. Few treats better than dipping your utter "soldiers" [strips of buttered toast] into runny egg yolk. Interesting dish & great video as always, many thanks.

I'm a filthy westerner, but I was under the impression that Panko is specifically cooked using electricity rather than heat. So you can't just make your own like you can with regular breadcrumbs, even if you use Japanese bread. You just made regular breadcrumbs, not Panko.

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

You said it yourself; you're a filthy westerner. Panko, in Japanese, literally translates to "bread crumbs/powder". He did make it correctly. In western countries, our Panko is a specific Panko, aka the one you described. Basically, you should learn more about other cultures before telling someone how to make a culturally appropriate dish.
