      I agree. Straight to the point and very precise! If I watch other cooking videos with random talking before they even start then I stop paying attention. I'm sleep deprived with a toddler and these videos are so relaxing too for some reason.

    Fresh ground spices are always the best. They beat store bought hands down every time. If anyone is interested in making their own turmeric, it's really simple. Start by going to your local grocery store or Asian store and buy the roots (or alternatively for the very freshest roots, grow your own) .The flavour and colour make it all the more worthwhile. Here's what I do to make it:
    1. Thoroughly wash turmeric root. Use a stiff scrub brush to remove most of the outer skin. (It's not necessary to peel the turmeric; just remove any really dry or rough patches.)
    2. Thinly slice turmeric. Use a food processor equipped with a slicing blade, a mandoline, a potato peeler, or simply a knife. Just aim for a uniform thickness, 1/8" thick or less.
    3. Place turmeric root slices on dehydrator trays, or on cookie sheets.
    4. Dry in a dehydrator or in a slow oven at 120 - 135 for 5-7 hours, or until the turmeric root is crispy and completely dried. It should crack rather than bend if it's done. Allow to cool.
    5. Place dried turmeric in an herb grinder, coffee grinder, or blender and process until it becomes a fine powder.
    6. Store in an airtight container.
    Try it out! I'm sure you'll be glad you did.

    My cookbooks finally arrived! I ordered the Cook with Confidence and Yeung Man Cooking. I own a ton of cookbooks. These are by far the best I have. The photography is outstanding. Almost makes me want to take the book apart and frame some of them! The recipes are well written and the layout of the book is easy to follow. They are not only worth the money, but an essential tool to the home chef that wants to up their home game. I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I have never liked tofu until your Bulgogi recipe. I made a similar 'ground beef' with vegan mac and cheese that was inspired by that recipe. My family devoured it! We are not vegan, but eating less meat is better for everyone, especially the environment. You make it easy, unintimidating, and delicious!

    Made this for Sunday dinner. Added seasonings to my tofu before baking (granulated garlic and onion, smoked paprika, salt, cracked black pepper). The sauce is the thing here. Utterly delicious. I didn’t strain my juice and used only 1/4 tsp sesame oil, used a little chili paste instead of cayenne pepper, and cornstarch in my slurry. I plan to keep this sauce on hand to use as a salad dressing, etc. It’s really good.
