I like the butcher's addition to the show, he added a lot of information quickly and cleanly.

[@ProHomeCooks]

I agree, Ansel knows how to deliver a ton of info in a very efficient way! Working on another cameo for episode 9, need his help big time!

[@chrism45]

He's brilliant

[@tnk4me4]

He's like a doctor.

[@heidibauer1106]

Does Ansel have his own channel?

[@therealb888]

@@ProHomeCooks That Ansel butcher is straight out veterinarian!

[@JunxCKm]

Ansel needs to be featured more often, he's like the newyork alten brown

[@ProHomeCooks]

hahah he's coming in episode 9. I'm gonna need his help big time

[@onlycasual1]

This series is the best content youve made for the channel so far

[@tylerruss3819]

for a reason too, there is an element of mystery and anticipation as a result of the structure (labeling it a series and giving it a theme) that makes you looking forward to the next. unlike most other videos where they are simply informative

[@jaydouglas5847]

I spent 4 years living in Shenzhen, China, just across the bay from Hong Kong...and fell in love with this sandwich. Ate hundreds of them. The meats was hunks of pork which were then chopped on metal type baking sheets that would reverberate throughout the side alleyway right out into the street proper. The chopper had a rhythm and technique enough that 100 feet before I reached his stand I knew which worker was chopping solely on his rhythm as it's purposely loud. The vendors assistant would shout out ( in phonetic sound) " rue -ja- more, in 3 distinct syllables and the chopper would give a "rat-atat-tat" response with his dual meat cleaver/butchers knives. people lined up for these sandwiches from this vendor. You paid the assistant first then stood in line , when you get to the chopper he takes a hot bread off the baking/grill and partially splits it to make a proper cavity as it will be holding very juicy meat as you can motion to him to ladle some extra braising juice into it if you'd like. They also coarsely chop up a very mild green pepper( very similar to a Anaheim pepper) and mix in in when chopping the meat. The sandwich was about 1.20 usd. When I first found this place I ate one or two ,everyday for the first 30 days. The bread ,baked moments before served. was incredible. I sure miss this place !!

[@pengfu8608]

Great juicy description. Do you miss China besides this place?

[@Sk0lzky]

Can't get it anymore, pork became a rare commodity, they still haven't recovered. When costco opened in Beijing people were fighting for discount pork, they'd grab whole pigs and others would tear them apart trying to take them for themselves. PS I miss Chinese street food, especially the stuff in the inner mongolia and qinghai - tons of meat and availability of cheese which everybody who's been in China probably missed at some point :D

[@CierraFua]

Ansel is so knowledgeable. I love how sure he is in his delivery.

[@edmontonlivermoore4935]

Bro everything about this video is fire. A killer sandwich recipe, history lesson, tips from butcher, and sauce bit with Josh; all of this was super good. 10/10

[@ethangrason6983]

My favorite part of these episodes is starting to become Ansels' talks. Dude knows his meats

[@ProHomeCooks]

If we're gonna make a series all about sandwiches, it's about time we dive into the history...

[@alifafatima5049]

I like sandwich history.... Quite interesting and informative... Well m a new subscriber from India.... Love ur content... Your Bombay sandwich video attracted me... After seeing quality and dedication towards your video... I subscribed Good luck for future and keep it going 😇

[@Gottix]

You could do a Gemuse Kebab..number one in berlin..Or A belgian/dutch broodje Filet American... Or a Bahn Mi

[@joanssparetime4752]

Are you going to explore the Scandinavian open sandwich/ smørrebrød?

[@vivekmathur3514]

Hey!! This sandwich is actually seeing quite easy!!! Ima go try this!!!

[@yusriao7769]

Hey man, can you do a kaskrout tounsi, it is an amazing Tunisian sandwich. I think Alex French Guy Cooking must like and know it too! Cheers, keep up the good work!

[@ESPSJ]

I love the music that's in the back ground. It's like we're playing a game and going on an adventure to make a great sandwich :)

[@Zaluskowsky]

Oh i never thought about it like that! Great !

[@jmcrofts]

broooo you gotta make my local specialty sandwich, the Italian Beef. Thin-shaved roast beef served on an Italian roll with peppers and onions, and the whole thing DUNKED in luscious Au Jus. Heavenly.

[@Pscribbled]

jmcrofts love your videos dude!

[@doodlebug6833]

but Au Jus is french for "with juice", yet its called the Italian Beef. Nice

[@Noctis326]

lol kind of sounds like a french dip, but just on an Italian roll

[@Only10cents]

Chi town?

[@conormckenna7796]

YOOOOO huge fan lmao!!

[@meghanbugg]

This is one of my favorite Brothers Green videos to date. The love & thought that went into this video is so clear- from taking us into an incredible Asian market in New York (LOVE learning about the non-traditional NYC foodie destinations), to talking with the butcher in Park Slope, to diving into the history of sandwiches and the Roujiamo, to bringing Josh in to make the sauce (as he IS a sauce expert after all)... this video had it ALL. I loved every minute. Thanks for being so thoughtful in the development of your videos- your passion radiates through the screen!

[@jeropage95]

Mike you're the real OG. This series has been awesome, can't wait for the next episode. Cheers!

[@hsun9810]

Always fun to watch and nice try there. What you've made is called a Famian Bing, aka yeasted bread which looks pretty yummy, while the bread part of a classic Rou Jia Mo is kind of half fermented lean dough called Bai Ji Mo and pretty dry, all the fluffy and the layered sesame versions are adapted to suit Western taste. Bai Ji Mo is dry and hard because it was the staple food for people to take on travel in the Northwestern part of China for days without deteriorating. Using a cast iron pan to make the Bing is a tradition in China although the pan is usually double the size and with lid, that way you get the half cook half steam effect of a combo and no need to use the oven, and unlike bread baking you have to turn and churn regularly to get even crust.

[@FullMoonNewMoon]

Wow. What a great series. You really break it down layer by layer. Love it all AND your guest that add the intricate details of the recipes. Props to Ansel.

[@Alizardlovesyou]

I love this series! Good to see Josh :D thank you!!

[@woolfel]

In chinese, the lamb you made is called Red braised lamb 紅燒羊肉. The basic parts of red braise spices are similar, but everyone has their own recipe with different ratios. Instead of lemongrass, you can substitute chinese red vinegar or even balsamic vinegar. If you like it more spicy, you can add dried red chilis or korean gochugaru. In Taiwan, this type of sandwich is super common and often sold at night markets. There's also the scallion pancake variety.

[@ksoman953]

Taiwan is where it is at.

[@isabellechabre4359]

a year ago backpacked through China and had several of these. They were one of the best things I ate during the trip. I looked for recipes but didn't find any good ones until i stumbled upon your video. Will definitely try it out! thanks for the amazing video

[@Ben-fl6je]

Love the varied production process! This series is an easy favorite :)

[@GatorAidMedical]

You guys are getting so much better in terms of visuals, content, brevity, intro, everything!!!

[@Som3thingClever]

Just realized one additional thing I love about this series other than all these amazing sandwiches... The cut in with knowledge from the butcher is awesome! Very much reminds me of Good Eats from back in the day.

[@MrD10e]

Such a great series! I was bummed out I wouldn't be able to try Vanessa's sandwitch but then I realized you would teach me how to make it myself. Great time to dive into bread/dough making

[@kelleybayern7656]

Dude. You are a bread master. You saved my sanity during quarantine. I’ve worked through your entire sandwich series without knowing it and now can’t wait for more content. Keep experimenting with breads and fermenting and taking us along the way!

[@melodioushaste]

I love you guys so much! Thanks for the hard work and care you put into your channel.

[@collegekitchen155]

Cool series. You have such a great take, like a TV show with the back story, interviews and then making it! Looks so yummy.

[@rajaboes5425]

10/10! Fantastic series, keep up the great work.

[@DaniellaFagan]

Really appreciate the amount of effort that goes into your videos and creations 👏👏 this is my fave so far! X

[@TomasJogin]

Best sandwich episode yet! Wow!

[@joeg757]

Outstanding series. Well done!

[@Ternamz]

[@makichandes]

Love all the detail and how indepth you go with each sandwich. I stumbled upon one of the later videos and decided to start at the beginning.

[@chicacamionista]

Im loving this sandwich series ❤

[@CibiCZ]

I think the first sandwich ever was made very shortly after the first bread

[@h.ar.2937]

Love your channel guys, cheers!

[@floh4730]

Yet another brilliant choice. Love, the history as well. Can't wait to make this sandwich. Thank you so much.

[@1tinac]

[@Lorenzo-ke2vr]

This was great, I really loved this episode!

[@stickyourface]

[@EasyFreezerMeals]

What a great series. Thanks for posting. This was a great video

[@flopilop3808]

I have learned a lot from your videos about bread makin. :) thank you very much

[@mp77_28]

just recently found this channel. I love all the random facts haha. awesome

[@gehuatong3992]

Liking before watching because it's the sandwich of my childhood lol Can't wait to see what you've come up!

[@CindysHomeKitchen]

Delicious 2000 year old Chinese Sandwich, love your channel by the way, I am a huge fan!

[@seanchinery]

I love Vanessa's their sandwiches really are top notch. And their dumplings ain't nothing to sneeze at.

[@ftgv1]

Amazing sandwich, very well done video ! You've given me intense cravings

[@cesarbarrerabelle6082]

This episode was so fcking good like, with all the learning both in history and cooking in gerenal besides the recipe itself, with the advices from the butcher and the sauce. And it had so much rythm and all! Like, it was rlly enjoyable on every aspect, not heavy at all and with a lot of littoe details. I don't know, it was just so good. Hope this level of content keeps on bc it is amazing

[@ProHomeCooks]

Thank you !

[@agapepap9914]

Loveeeeee this series!!! 😋💥👍🏻

[@Andresbutdigital]

Love the Sandwich series

[@redmaple773]

Interesting that you used fresh orange instead of dried tangerine peel. A good quality tangerine peel has amazing fragrant aroma and flavor, and quite different from fresh. Most Chinese cooks use it for all stew or soup recipes and is a standard ingredient in a Chinese kitchen. The best dried peel comes from a particular region in southern China, Xinhui. Dried peels from other areas are not as desired.

[@afacelessname1378]

But it's still a North African fruit, he should have used Mandarins.

[@mohamedsandhool6337]

This series Is the best thanks bro

[@ProHomeCooks]

;)

[@AwesomeSauceXP]

The bread you guys make always looks so beautiful and delicious.

[@niklasgebert28]

Great video, love the series

[@J_T_B]

thanks! i enjoyed the history lesson in this one.

[@DavidAndTheDummies]

I gave this a thumbs up just because you filmed the burn. Great video bro, love this format

[@keshaponso2034]

I love the history stuff. Its facinating.

[@babodaewang]

I'm a new subscriber and I love all the content already! It's really satisfying to watch everything come from scratch and all the information coming from Ansel about different cuts of meat and what to do with them (preparing and cooking them in specific ways). I just want to ask if you ever had a thought to open a sandwich shop with all these different sandwiches. Love the content and I hope to see a lot more soon!

[@Lanchoooo]

👍🏽Josh is here!!! Brother and Butcher! Best collaboration yet! Just missing the Bagel dude... lol 😂 Josh looks great!

[@momodtr]

Man, your kids are gonna be the luckiest in school, rolling in with their deluxe lunches

[@ejay8766]

This looks so good! Im going to make this a whole day activity on Saturday to make this recipe from scratch. Should be a fun little thing to do with my husband.

[@ProHomeCooks]

Let us know how it turns out!

[@FuzzyLunar]

This is the only series that i can watch without getting bored halfway through on this chanel

[@chadlaroche320]

Brothers Green - you should totally take a dive into the ultimate breakfast sandwich! Would love to see your take on this. Everything in this series has been amazing, keep up the great work.

[@emalinel]

Oh my God.....*drools* I haven't had this is YEARS and now I relaly wanna try making this on my own. Thanks for doing all this research it looks great! :D

[@2AKNOT]

Man, I can't stop salivating after watching you make that sandwich. To use lamb instead of pork belly was genius. Keep up the good work.

[@andrewh25]

Nice work put into the video

[@ItsRenzio]

you're the best sandwicher on youtube, no doubt

[@Lunaskylette]

Looks epic! Ik it's not how it's traditionally made but either way the steps you taken although more complex definitely enhanced the flavour of the rou jia mo

[@repp181]

man this sandwich looks AMAZING

[@beatsandbitespodcast2700]

Vanessa’s Dumplings is one of my favorite dumpling spots, and because I’m such a fatass I always order the duck sesame pancake sandwich in addition to an order of dumplings. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

[@vonlipi]

wow that bread looked amazing I will try that one for sure!

[@Jmedo25]

That bread looks awesome and so easy to make!

[@tiborbohak5551]
