My best guess about Alvin saying the seafood stock 'smells like chicken noodle soup' is that since he's been dealing with shrimp all throughout the shooting day, he's probably a bit noseblind/acclimated to the shrimp smell, so he's probably primarily picking up on the smell of the aromatics that've only just been woken up by the heat. Basically I think he's probably an unreliable witness to the smell right now.

[@diegoperezsommariva2509]

I always thought that the dish sanji made to Gin was fried rice and not risotto. There is actually a one piece cookbook and in there the recipe shows seafood fried rice. Its also evident on how Gin eats the dish and how he the individual rice grains stuck to his face and all.

[@sillypiggy13]

yeah, it's actually weird that he says it's risotto, and that the rice 'looked pale' compared to a fried rice, but yangzhou fried rice is pale as well, not all fried rice have deep colors

[@Juggernogger64]

​@@diegoperezsommariva2509 actually both yes and no, in the MANGA it was Corned Beef Fried Rice and the recent live action adaptation which follows the manga showed that. But in the anime it was changed to seafood fried rice or risotto, and so, many cookbooks based on the Anime only ever put the Seafood rice for sanji instead of the corned beef rice from the manga.

[@diegoperezsommariva2509]

@@Juggernogger64 I wanted to point out that the dish was fried rice and not risotto more than de ingredients. It looks like fried rice, took a few minutes to make like fried rice does and the separate grains seem to jump off as Gin eats it. Also the dish looks like a rice "hill", and that could happen only with fried rice really, cause a risotto being wet would tend to fall at an even level.

I dont think there is anything wrong with Kitchen background, it also adds "something" to the video. It depends what you want your video to convey. I personally like the "low effort" Shorts where the person talks from kitchen or has it on background. Gives it the authencity. Tought it could be also fake authencity, but its what it is.

Also babish Camera placement is horror production, It definitly isnt as easy as it comes off. Recommend his kitchen/house tour, its interesting to see what the "kitchen" looks like.

I grab a whole bunch of those, as does my gf (independently of me). We sit down, I cut into one of the rings, and it's bloody onion! And I am really not a fan of onion rings.

I use mild cheddar on fresh water sometimes. It depends on how I am cooking it. Mild or young cheddar because I don't want to overpower the flavour of the fish. Mozzarella may also work. Have not tried it, but it would brown up nicely if you are baking the fish.

Babish has always been great. He even named himself after one of the characters in The West Wing - one of my favourite tv shows. He expanded his personal channel into "The Babish Culinary Universe" as a bit of a joke reference to the MCU, initially to offer work to Sohla El Wahly in the fallout of the Bon Appetit scandal. Sohla has moved on to bigger and better things, because, of course she would, and the BCU has largely become just Babish and Alvin but I still respect the principle. It was a classy move.

Fish loves cheese, you just have to use the cheese that compliments the fish. Try salmon with a smoked gouda cheese sauce, it is divine (add capers, it is dang near ambrosia)! Mac and cheese made with sharp cheddar and tuna is out of this world, but don't forget the breadcrumbs! I have more, but will refrain from that enthusiasm. My point, cheese, when paired appropriate to the fish, makes an awesome dish. Great video, Chef James!

[@clownemoji]

Babish based this dish off of one that appears in One Piece, but an official recipe has been released in a cookbook. It’s called “Fried Rice for Gin” and uses corned beef instead of seafood. There are different reviews of the official recipe and cookbook on KZbin, so it’s interesting to see how he interpreted the dish and to hear your opinions on it. I’ve always wondered how chefs would critique these geeky recipes. Great video, and congrats on 300k subscribers!

One suggestion from someone who cooks at home. If you want risotto in summer go to a restaurant. You must be in the kitchen to throw the broth when you cook it. It can be a nightmare. Let the pro suffer for you. I made this mistake one time, believe me.

[@15oClock]

My dad got these goggles with a weed whacker, and I just use them when cutting onions. It’s not foolproof, but it’s better than nothing.

Gonna need an onion helmet if you want 'fool proof'.

[@Uvirit]

About chopping onions: just wet the knife, the chemical is an eye irritant and has hypersolubility, it can also help to wet the onion itself, but in this case you will need to wait a little before cooking for it to dry, in addition to this, use cold water, I hope Google translator got it right: English not my native language

[@kich8672]

The easiest way to prevent onions from making you cry is to simply turn a fan on. People keep focusing on the wrong problem, the chemicals released from the onions go into the air. So move the air. I've literally stopped crying when cutting onions by turning my kitchen's microwave fan on to get good air circulation. That's all it takes y'all. All these weird "hacks" about onions, none of them actually work, no matter what you do, the chemicals the onion releases will go into the air. So just...move the air, keep it moving. If your kitchen is a huge open concept one, it might be hard to do this, my kitchen is somewhat small so the little fan in my microwave circulates the air well.

I once found a brand of octopus that remained tender, no matter HOW much it was cooked. I think it was from Spain. Would you know if the Pacific North West's giant octopus is safely edible? I was just wondering, in case I ever catch one.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

yes I believe they are but it's funny too as the NW is also a big exporter of geoducks and sea-cucumbers and they are not common to see on the menu in the NW haha 😂

[@Maplecook]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Ohhhh, you can find PLENTY of geoducks and sea cucumbers on menus in the Vancouver area, bro! (Pssst! It's because of all the Asian people here! hahaha) Funny thing though (unless I misunderstood something): it would seem that Japanese and Korean people are MUCH more fond of octopus, than the Chinese are. Can't fathom why. On the flip side, Chinese people eat jellyfish, and you almost never will see a Japanese person do that, unless he/she is specifically in a Chinese restaurant and aiming for that experience. I know that if I just cooked up as jellyfish and presented it to my family in Japan, they'd just look at me like, "What's WRONG with you, man??" hahahaha

In Sweden there is a type of soft cheese, that you can spread on your sandwich, that often comes in a tube. They come in all kinds of flavours. The most popular ones is flavoured with shrimp. Saw some Americans trying the bacon and the shrimp ones. They liked the shrimp one much more than the bacon one.

[@maxpowers9129]

I've had people tell me I was wrong for getting a slice of cheese on a fish sandwich, but those same people also ate open face tuna melts, but for whatever reason didn't understand that was adding cheese to fish. People just follow silly rules and never consider why those rules exists. I will never understand or accept these arbitrary rules of what is the right and wrong way to enjoy my food. At this point when I hear people and complain that the only right way to drink coffee is black and the only right way to have a steak is rare, it just comes across as insecure to me.

Maybe another thing to mention would be to not cook the parm. Only add it just before the rice is perfectly cooked, otherwise a lot of the aroma will vanish.

[@dirkg.3163]

@3:50 You can bash the octopus with a meat tenderizer before cooking, or you can smash it many times against a hard surface like a rock (I've seen this on vacation in Croatia and Greece). It will be tender even if it is cooked or grilled for so long, that it starts to get dry.

Honestly, I wouldn't say never add cheese to a seafood dish. Personally, it truly depends on the type of cheese and the type of seafood. There are definitely some cheeses that will compliment certain seafood. I'm not surprised that the second dish tasted better, as I do feel the Parmesan would compliment the seafood he put into there, it's not an overpowering flavored cheese. (Note, I am purely a home cook, but have been cooking at home with minimal ingredients most of my life).
