Chef Paul from ChefPK did a bunch of Food Wars recreations, even the bad ones lmao. I do enjoy seeing Alvin on this channel though. He has an eclectic anime affinity with food lol. Hearing chef Brian talk about Soma makes it almost sound like he watched the show. It's one of my fav anime of all time lol so, if you're ever in the need for a good cooking anime..

[@ranyie2896]

japanese omelette is rather sweet because it contains sugar. i guess that's why he's adding sugar to the eggs

[@ima7333]

I made that jelly after i watched food war the first time around. I live in Indonesia so i put my stock in 1cm x 1cm hole ice tray. My son would simply squeeze the stock jelly onto his hot rice. It melted upon contact and it tasted awesome.

[@ima7333]

@@fadhhh i first boil the sake then add it to my stock or you could also add it to your stockpot, then the alcohol would evaporate & remove the chicken smell at the same time.

[@ShadowsDragoon]

If I recall correctly (after having watched the series through twice now), I think Soma just said that he simmered the wingtips in broth to make the aspic with some other stuff for flavor. Small edit: Just watched that episode and yeah. His aspic is made with chicken wingtips simmered in bonito stock, sake and light soy sauce.

[@SAIKOsean]

Man you gotta check out what ChefPK has done with food wars food! He's the best.

I was gonna say that, he’s like the expert

[@FolkenTube]

About the sesame oil... check the version of ChefPK. He shows the original recipe, direct from the manga. And yes, it has sesame oil.

[@kathryn-5837]

I'm just a long time home cook, but I totally agree on the oil. I love sesame oil but I think something more neutral would have been my choice. That said I love Alvin's videos and it looked delicious! I also really enjoyed this video and you've quickly become one of my favorite channels. Excited for more!!💚

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Thank you so much! That made my day! ❤️

In Japanese cooking, it's pretty common to cook stuff in sesame oil like this. I agree that for me, it's pretty overpowering a lot of the time. But it's true to life, at least in my family

[@joa8593]

The sesame oil grade matters though. Frying is often done with a light roast sesame oil. Dark sesame oil is usually used for dressing. Of course in my family often we only had dark so you got some pretty intense flavors, LOL. Incidentally, no western sesame oil seems to have much flavor so you can use as much as you want. I wonder if it has to do with the extraction method? Even the very dark ones are mild.

[@cuthip]

I love how you kept calling the anime “Soma’s video” like he’s a content creator 😂😂

[@ivydaphne7483]

I remember watching an Abroad in Japan video where they went to a traditional Japanese Ryokan, and the food was served with a small whole dried fish on the side & it was the chopstick holder. And haha it was edible too if you wanted to eat it 😂

[@ChefBrianTsao]

No way! That’s wild! I love that channel too!

[@JakkiPi]

If you're getting back into anime, you should definitely react to this!

[@clauteletuby]

oh wow really excited for this. hopefully wr can see more food wars related content

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

I saw this recipe and immediately decided to try it and instead of putting the transforming seasoning which is basically just what they put in soup dumplings anyways for the 'soup' I decided to go and make Xiaolongbao with it instead. Without the sesame oil for obvious reasons. I kept the egg inside the xiaolongbao and added some ground sausage to it with some peppers. I've now discovered the joy of "Breakfast Xiaolongbao" dumplings and now even my Asian neighbor is curious about them and asked me for the recipe lol.

[@flora5090]

This was awesome! If you're planning more Alvin reactions, there's two shows from the Tasty KZbin channel that could be interesting to react to, one is "Making it Big", where he makes oversized foods (those make for very interesting technical videos), and another is "You Draw, I Cook" where Alvin and some other cooks compete cooking dishes conceptualised by kids as themed drawings. That could be super fun for reacting

[@VerhoevenSimon]

I'd love to see you contrast this with chefpk's take on it. And I do like that Babish tends to show where they went wrong so we can learn from it.

[@Qopa]

tamagoyaki basically has a lot of sugar content. Which is why he added a lot of sugar in the egg.

[@crowdemon_archives]

Yea, when I was in Tokyo and I ate some of their scrambled egg stuff, it's actually sweet as opposed to salty and savoury lol.

[@AlmaWadeCrymsm]

I love Food Wars so much...I always get hungry when I watch it 😆

[@Janenba]

You really should cover one the original anime food content creator on YT. Alvin came way later on the scene. @ChefPK

[@Angelicwings1]

ChefPK is epic

[@Booties_QT]

I am always so amazed by your knowledge of food and your amazing ability to explain everything. Keep up the good work!

[@automaticspaz]

Sesame oil and fish sauce are like acids and bases in the kitchen. Getting the right amount is so pivotal, but especially at the right time, I was lucky when I made fried rice the first time, unfortunately the rice had sat in the fridge too long and clumped together, so the texture was bad but the flavor (almost) made upfor it.

[@bensgalley1368]

Nice seems everytime I watch these videos I see something new I want to try. And I'm learning some new tricks to add to my skill set. I've already became a above average self taught burger master. Now let's go on to some rice dishes

[@indiachenoweth3944]

I’ve made this before a couple times and it was always delicious! I haven’t in a few years but I’ve recently been craving it!!!! It’s such a yummy lunch/snack

[@cjd29]

The dish also reminds me of soboro, and every time I've seen it the eggs are very well cooked. You don't go for a creamy egg for this application (in my experience).

[@yannikamaya]

I''ve been binge watching food wars all 6 seaosns. great show

[@Angelicwings1]

I wanna see you react to every episode of the anime. That would be awesome!

[@KR_SinSZ]

The actually released the recipes for the foods in the manga volumes and iirc the recipe mentioned sesame oil that's why he used it.

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Just watched his video, can’t wait for this!

[@mduvigneaud]

I know I'm a little late to the party on this but one way I found out to remove the fat from stock is to wet a fine-mesh sieve with water and then gently pour the stock through: the fat stays in the sieve. Also, if you briefly dip the bottom of a pan with set gelatin into hot water it will melt a thin layer and release easily.

[@samtheactualkenku6205]

we don't really see Soma use the chicken wingtips outside of the broth, but he does have something cooking in a tandoori

[@BlaziKent94]

"the customers generally doesn't eat it" for the wing tips. You've underestimated me. Nothing goes to waste on my plate.

[@JezterTV]

I would love to see you reacting at least to the first season. I bet it will give you some new fresh ideas for your cooking.

[@russellward4624]

S01E03 is another good Food Wars episode to react to. He needs to tenderize meat with limited time. Curious what you'll think of the methods they use. And the foodgasm is a running theme with men and women so prepare yourself. Lol

[@ShiroKage009]

Hey Chef, can I just say something? I actually sear my steaks in sesame oil before basting with butter. At the smoking point, it loses most of its fragrance. Instead of actually killing the steak, it imparts an accent on the meat and it's really nice. It's something I stumbled onto due to ignorance, but it turned out to be really good.

[@fifis677]

Binging with Babish is a great channel for pretty much anything food. I'd never expect anyone to recreate this as a dish they found in Food Wars though 😂

[@GoldPhoenix99]

I love your videos, been having fun watching them this evening. A clarification: 1. In Japan they saute with sesame oil. The pungency of the oil diminishes as you cook it. This is also the reason why you add it at the end in most other East Asian cooking --it keeps the pungent aroma if it isn't cooked. But if you're cooking with it, you can add a bunch and it won't overpower the dish. 2. In Japan, they usually add salt and sugar to scrambled eggs, they really like the sweet-salty flavor profile in Japanese cooking. So adding the sugar to the egg is pretty standard, though usually it's done with salt and dashi stock as well, but here I guess the idea was you made that into an aspic outside of the egg, lol.

[@JEN-sg3fo]

You have to do more of breaking down/reacting to this anime. The foods gets more interesting and creative 🔥

Thank you so much for reacting to my comment with this video!

[@cannibalvegetableyt]

The cutting scene in FW looked like it was modeled after cutting agar into cubes and those eggs are not "scrambled eggs" they're something along the lines of "pebble eggs" that are cooked to form little balls not much bigger than the rice; they covered this on Japanese Style Originator but Google has the stoopid so I cannot find anything

[@TheDarkLink7]

First off Alvin does a great job. Fun fact Alvin did Tastey up to a point. Secondly don't worry about it. I had bought a really cool wooden chopsticks with chopstick holders. Wish there was a way for me to share a picture of them.

[@catherinejones5807]

Great video, Chef Brian!👍🏻 I agree with you about the sesame oil, number of chicken wings, overcooking the eggs, and the rest. But I have to admit, the final product looked delicious. I would finish that bowl in no time. I noticed that Guga has a tacos al pastor video on his Guga Foods channel. It’s an older video. But you really need to review that one. Keep doing what you do, and take care.🤘🏻

[@philip4534]

My guess is he didn’t sear in the pot because he didn’t want to transfer too much of the sesame oil into the pot. Like you said, you just need a dash, they probably realized that by the smell of the house, so the made an adjustment

[@thedangerdave7167]

You should check out Guga Foods video where he dry aged a steak in wasabi. There’s also one using Hot Ones the bomb hit sauce you should see too.

[@maudglazbrooke1287]

Alvin just likes sesame oil and has said elsewhere that using it in this manner greatly softens the impact. I haven't done the science myself just repeating what he's said.

[@waltersoares4264]

Sesame seed oil looses alot of its pungence after cooked. So It probably wouldnt be overwelming

[@zacharyhagan818]

I'm a dude born and raised in Montana, and I know sesame oil is not a cooking oil. I think I read it on a bottle of sesame oil I bought to make fried rice.

[@Crimsontears83]

One thing that many people miss when doing this is that they actually cut up the wings and sprinkle the meat over the top (in the recipe in the manga)

[@Breetai_SDF-1]

No wakame in that dashi? Need those glutamates for clothing explosions to happen!

In the Japanese recipes I’ve seen they do put some sugar in egg. I’ve noticed Japanese people seem to like a bit of sweet in their dishes

[@brookebarnes9517]

Soma never used Sesame seed oil in that dish. Don't get me wrong i love that smell and taste...but it won't be the same if people are wanting to try it themselves for the first time. Still looked good though XDD

[@Deladus]

As a dumb white American, when I got sesame oil for the first time I tried to fry off some broccoli in it. It was inedible. Definitely agree a little goes a loooong way.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

When I'm having barbecued wings, I just love the tips. But I nearly carbonize them so that I can even eat the bones. Crunchy deliciousness! Hmmmmm!

[@Leslie_Smith]

3:45 ...I like to eat wing tips. Would eat part of the bone if fried to an edible crisp.

[@drunkhas]

Since people are recommending more Food Wars I'll suggest episode 1 of season 3, Soma vs Alice in a bento box themed match their clash of ideology that reflects in the food they put out I0m sure will lend itself to great reactions and conversations.

[@carlsoc1]

I was looking at the broth not jeling. Add some apples 🍎 they are full of pectin and it will jel right up 😅. He's added sugar to his eggs which sounds yucky to me, so granny smith apple peel and core, in the chicken broth is possibly in the same kind of ballpark 😅. Sorry, you probably didn't need this level of sarcasm, but I don't understand making food from cartoons (or fiction books or movies, not that I don't own a Lord of the Rings Cookbook, but I more likely to actually cook from the Forme of Cury)

[@ohn9431]

Watch the pork that Food Wars makes!

[@15oClock]

I once used sesame oil in a pizza dough because we ran out of olive oil unexpectedly. That wasn't something I’d do again, not like stir frying with sesame oil. Listen, that was a mistake I didn't figure out until I started watching your videos and started doing research.

[@HellsingRuler]

[@mikeyg2178]

2:42 I don't know much when it comes to sesame oil, but that seemed like a LOT, and should he be adding it that early? Idk what the smoke point is but I'm sure it's not as high as olive oil.

[@311dolphingirl]

I have a culinary question. I recently discovered that I am allergic to wheat, sesame, and peanuts. There are some great recipes I would love to try, but when it calls for sesame oil I don't know what to use bc there really is no substitute for its flavor. Is there a way to get the flavor of the dishes I want to make right or should I just scrap any recipe that calls for sesame oil? Thank you for your time and great content.

[@markdubrovskyi6682]

Definitely not a pro chef, but I think if you add a bit of sesame oil to the broth at the end of cooking, it will not emulsify into the broth and will remain on top. Plus, since it is not a saturated fat, it will not solidify on top when you set the broth to become aspic (it may set, if there is enough sat fat from the wings mixed with the sesame oil, but still), and when you remove the fat from the aspic, you may lose quite a bit of sesame flavour. So, in this particular case, maybe searing with sesame oil is a better way to impart sesame flavour. But again, just a homecook guessing here. Great video!
