Japanese vs. American Hamburger (ハンバーグ vs. ハンバーガー)

- Did you know that in Japan they have a hamburger that is a bit different than an American hamburger. No, we're not talking about the one's with buns, eggs, or avocados on top. They do have that. No. We're talking about the hambagu (ハンバーグ), which is very much different than the hambaga (ハンバーガー). It generally comes with no bun, is made with a mix of beef and pork, and can come with demi-glace sauce or daikon radish on top, and even some cheese inside. So the word hambaga comes from Hamburg steak, which is the original German version of the hamburger, which is named after the German city of Hamburg. At least this is what some quick Internet searching has told me.
What's a hamburger like where you're from.

Can totally relate to this guy trying to cook with his kids.
“No the silver one”
“Watch your fingers”
“No just. No. STOP!”
thats what happen if you play video games while cooking
"get your mom"
@@aqeelaryanto2541 Lol I've missed food timers while gaming, so it's weirdly good advice
yeah...so just dont cook with the kids...maybe cook the kids
When you helped Shin with the cooking all I could think was; "Hello world, where I am from this is what being a parent is like"
DevilsTrueLies amen to that! America would not be so damn unhealthy if all parents were like that with their kids.
periodt
Not allowed to complain if you chose to breed.
I wonder why Japanese hambagu doesn't exist in other countries. Those patties are delicious.
If you read the comments, apparently variations of it do exist, whether it's a salisbury steak, meatloaf, or frikadeller.
T_________________T
That's true. Come to think about it, I've seen hambagu overseas. I think I've been to a place where you can just order beef patties.
They do. It's called hamburger steak.
When I was a kid growing up in a US military base in Japan (17 years in Yokohama/Yokosuka) the base cafeterias offered hamburger steaks for 70 cents. Came with mashed potatoes, gravy, and vegis. Regular hamgurgers were 15 cents. French fries and gravy...15 cents. Good times.
“Where are your legs”
Me to my cat 90% of the time
get a glass table & then look underneath it when its legs are missing (it looks even weirder)
@@kn00tcn I say cats look like roosting chickens when they lay like that, lol!
@@kn00tcn oh man im so curious now...
Fun fact: a cat can retract it's legs up into it's body like a snail in it's shell. They do this to retain heat and so that they can shoot their legs in an emergency, launching them up to 20 feet into the air. That's why they call it cat-apulting
I swear Shin purposely messes around just to get on his dad's nerves 😂
Don’t think that’s how you spell his name but I don’t know either lol
Shin is how his name is spelled in the subtitles.
That very last part where Shin just shoves the whole hambagu in his mouth rather than taking a bite, was hilarious. The true joy of being a kid or even having kids just to watch them doing silly things like that. Everything about this was wholesome, specially the young sisters reaction after Shin enjoyed her cooking
Aiko's reaction to seeing Shin's cooking was priceless. And pretty typical for siblings who have yet to pick up on the whole "be nice to your siblings" thing.
But then again, if you can't be mean to your siblings, who can you be mean to :)
S Missions TRUE
When do you pick up on that? My older sister's like 21...
Timothy McLean I

“Shin left to play video games “ a i see shin is a man of culture
😂😂
Love how dad said ‘where are your legs’ to the cat. 🤣 love when my cats do that , like a rotisserie chicken 🤣
krystal bonilla i was looking for this 😂😂
It’s like you are going to eat the cat like : yes a perfectly cooked rotisserie cat delicious
At what time?
LMBO that's a cute comparison and accurate! My pit bull does the same thing curls up like a little biscuit on the huge sofa but when she crawls into bed with me she spreads out like a beach umbrella! I wake up on the floor !
2:50
They seem to be good at burning food lol
they probably have the stove on too high!
Me tho
Cooking food helps reduce the energy needed to break down the material so that we can consume it easier and with less effort..
However, BURNING food is a whole nother category up for debate...
Snow Bunny Prince think of it as caramelization
@@gamer7916 ;)
Shin behaves exactly like an all American boy. If he didn't have an accent, I would have thought he was American. Your daughter is absolutely sweet! I enjoyed watching this video, because in my family in the U.S. we burn our burgers the same way 😂 but everyone still enjoys it. The closest thing we have to hambagu would be meatloaf. Someone shared a tip with me: you can use an egg slicer to cut mushrooms. Again, I enjoyed watching your family dynamic. It proves that families across the world are pretty much the same.
Yeah, that's meatloaf or flat meatballs, have been eating this all the time didn't know it was hambergu.
Canadians are no different from Americans, except they call Washroom instead of Restroom.
Is that how we can tell each other apart from Canadians?
Mary-Anne Delaney Shin behaves like a disrespectful boy. Not all Americans want to be embarrassed which Shin’s dad is by his disrespectful behavior. I bet family and friends cringed
when you stopped by if you raised your children allowing disrespect and negative behaviors. I can only imagine..
@@jqueryrocks Do you still fall asleep on the toilet at lunch in the Washroom?
The amount of chaos this family has in the kitchen 😂😂
“No. Stop. Just stop.”
“Watch your fingers”
“No not that pan”
*burns 2 batches of burgers and also the bread*
That cute little girl w/ her Mommy's cooking, her reaction when she tasted the hambagu is priceless!
0:26 your boy will become a man of culture
Quallity
I just realized that today
Touhou
That tripped me out for a second hearing that touhou tune.
aikos accent while speaking english used to be slightly japanese-ish. i think it became more north american like her dad
Canadian, I think. There are some slight differences.
@@EscargoTouChaud Canada is in North America, isn't it?
@@EscargoTouChaud Canada is in North America.
I know that it is geographically located in the north of the American continent, but I thought the accent of the Canadian people differed (the way they say for instance "about") from that of people from the northern states of the USA. Maybe I am wrong.
@@EscargoTouChaud Im pretty sure thats just a stereotype. Im not from Canada so I could be wrong as well.
Dude I like how he can trust his kids to cook while my parents can't trust me and I'm about 16
Japanese children are taught to be very independent from early age apparently 👍
@@jeisselima not only Japanese..at Bangadesh as well
"You sad Japan twice"

n u need to check ur grammar twice 😆
Hambagu is more similar to meatloaf, but tiny individual sized.
Yea basically
Thank You! Now that I understand...where as this whole video was just confusing!
Andie What was confusing about it?
Yea that pretty much is just american meatloaf w/ the classic tomatoe base glaze haha
it's also very close to the _original_ hamburger, which was a "Hamburg steak". Hamburg steak (also called Hamburg style steak) was minced steak, not ground, formed into a patty or loaf shape and pan fried.
2:38 the oil/fat that you were using was at its smoking point, which is where it is getting to its maximum temperature before it starts to "burn" when that super heated spot meets the open flame of your gas grill it ignites causing the flame up, it also happens when you add a liquid (especially alcohol) because it steams up and send small particles of the flammable oil up which can ignite. I hope my explanation helped a bit...
Source: 10 years working in restaurants
Also the temp was too high and the hambagas not defrosted. This will cause it to boil and then burn (at least on the outside.) The inside will still be a little raw.
This is an old video, but I just love how you teach and how well he takes direction. Great parenting.
This video was especially fun, I loved when things went a bit off the rails. Gave it a real homely quality. Also made me hungry.
Hai! I agree
all the hard-works and the daughter is like:
"what is this poop?"
xDDDDDDD
Maybe she just a such spoiled kid
@@puterisyasya2008 nah she is really sweet
@@puterisyasya2008 she was making fun of what her brother did as all good siblings do.
ちょっと待って ｡｡ Ahh so hamburgu is more like American meatloaf than just beef patty! That is so good to know, great video!
Kelsey KINE hambagu is actually more of a salisbury steak. unlike meatloaf, it isn't baked
But, to her point, the ingredients are similar
I never knew what Salisbury steak was aside from the meat puck in tv dinners back in the 80s...
Salisbury steak has all the ingredients of a meatloaf BUT is grilled like a hamburger. The second viseo lookes a lot more like meatloaf than an actual hamburger down to the preparation of an additional sauce to serve with it.
Salisbury steak is very different depending on where you are from in the US. It may be very close to hambagu or it may simply be ground beef formed into a patty and covered with beef gravy on top of rice or mashed potatoes. If it's the second one, I feel like it's closer to curry than hambagu.
Everything in your channel is super delicious
Everywhere I go I see your comment
a ray mak comment with just 8 likes, finally
I see you everywhere.
Thanks for a fun video :) Where I'm from 'hanbaagu' is called 'karbanátek' and besides breadcrumbs, cubes of white bread soaked in milk are added to the meat, also the chopped onions are added raw. Garlic is also added, and a compulsory spice (actually a herb) is marjoram. They're always fried on an open pan, never steamed, usually served with a side of potatoes cooked with caraway seeds, or mashed potatoes, with a side of a dill pickle or something that might resemble chutney.
ooooh that sounds amazing. I might try making that version!
Nice, good luck :) If you do, the ratio of bread and meat shouldn't be more than 1:3 (although karbanátek is ususaly considered a 'poor-man's-steak' so 1:1 isn't unheard of). Make sure to make them thinner than those shown in the video, so they cook through on an open pan without burning. I also forgot to mention a bit of black pepper as one of the ingredients. And as for the white bread, something like French bread such as baguette is perfect (doesn't have to be fresh), including the crust, is a bit better than the kind used for making toast. Small lumps left inside the meat are part of karbanátek's character. Breadcrumbs are actually used to adjust the mixture's consistency so it's easy to work with.
Also you can use exactly the same mixture to make a typical Czech meat loaf.
Tomisaburo R. Mizugawa I didn't expect any Czech/ Slovak ppl here tbh 😂 btw, u explained it really well ^^
Thank you :) BTW we Czech and Slovak people are everywhere - there just aren't that many of us so we're harder to spot ;-)
Tomisaburo R. Mizugawa haha yes (lol jsem taky češka 😂)
I'm sensing a theme here...
hambagu: xtra crunch
hambaga: crispy
buns: max toasty
Please do a video about the process of getting your kitty! Id like to know what the adoption process is like in japan
Melanie Rangel I wonder if the cat didn't adopt them :) looks like a stray, maybe he just turned up one day :)
Melanie Rangel Check out Japan cat network, we adopted from there.
The kids are so adorable.. Your little sisters daughters reaction so cute and polite trying not to be rude about her mom's sauce...
I would love to see more cooking with "Little Sister".
Yes! ❤️
The auntie’s small daughter is so cute, she’s all laughing while making the patties 😂
0:10. "Who cares...!" Apart from the cat, this was the best part of the video... 🤣🤣🤣
Even though our sons are different ages, different races, and live on opposite sides of the world - they could be freaking twins with their behavior and mannerisms! They even have the same haircut 😂
Thank you for making me feel like I’m halfway normal!
My brother too
Meat patty in a bun with toppings - Hamburger
Meat patty with sauce, bun optional - Salisbury 'steak'
Well hamburger does come from hamburger steak. It was only in US people used buns or breads to sell it at street foods
I love how they make mistakes. We all make mistakes and it is nice to see others do too.
Hambagu is like salisbury steak.
Since they add pork it is closer to meatloaf.
i was thinking that too! kind of makes me want to taste and see the difference. both seem tasty though
The beginning of this video is so wholesome and I love it so much.
Little Sister -- Master Chef
I love it how when you ask Shin if its good, he tells you yes (Unless he really doesnt like the sight of it like the Hambagu that Little Sister made). The little girl was the best though! Shes just kind of eating a piece and not saying anything XD even though you can tell shes unsure of it.
I can understand this. Shin's taste buds are in an advanced stage of development, so he can better handle and appreciate stronger flavours. The little girl is still a bit young and is receiving a slight overload of signals.
What I really like is that the SON is being taught how to prepare meals, and not necessarily the DAUGHTER as you would normally expect in a typical Japanese family!
It is assumed that the Hamburger originally derives from the German City Hamburg. In Germany it is very popular to eat a meatball called „Frikadelle“. This is almost identical as your homemade japanese Hamburgu :) We usually these Frikadellen with Ketchup or tomato- based Currysauce and french fries. Thank you for your nice video.
I agree! They are almost the same as japanese Hambagu! :)
In my family we use it for many dishes, like "Möhren untereinander", but we never had it as a main dish served with little to no side dishes.
What is Frikadelle? It's called 'Bulette'!
(╯◔人◔）╯︵ ┻━┻
Daddy: you said japan twice
Aiko: who cares😂
I wish you use Aiko more in your videos...I really love her...she is sweet and natural...
I think he mentioned before that he doesn't force them to do it, so it's more like if Aiko feels like it, then she would be in the videos :). I think she's really sweet too. Shin is cute too. I like the contrast in their personalities.
Mayuraxee Barman I agree. The son is extremely immature and in my opinion they need to be more active in moving him towards exhibiting better behavior and respect.
Shin is just a typical annoying boy.
Lori Dennis rudeness and disrespect is not typical. There are tons of well behaved children. He should at least be instructed to be on his best behavior when videoing. Just a case of parental compromise where children are allowed to train the parent to accept negative behaviors and expect others to not comment and ignore it. His behavior takes away from the purpose which is educating and fostering respect for culture and traditions.
@@pamelajohnson866 The hell rudeness and disrespect isn't the norm! Where have you been?
Shin is so cute and sweet when he speaks Japanese! I loved that part! Awesome job cooking, Shin, don't make your father worry so much by learning to cook!
The Japanese Hambagu actually is quite close to a Danish/Swedish meatball, which is very traditional here. We both do our own variations, where the Swedish probably is closer to the Japanese, than the Danish. We call it frikadelle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frikadeller. The Danish version is 50/50 minced veal and pork, raw onions, eggs, flour, milk or water, and salt/pepper. This is something most Danish people have an opinion about, and most know how to do. The Swedish version will usually contain breadcrumbs as well in the meat, which is similar to the panko you're using in yours.
So I was very excited when I saw your little sister making it from scratch, and how two countries so far apart, make virtually the same thing, but still use it for different things.
Pannbiff
Thank you so much for this video! I’ m from the US and hadn’t had hamburg steak since my last visit to “Saizeria” during my stay in Japan 8 years ago! I showed your video to my wife and I attempted my own hanbagu using a recipe I found online and the demonstration your sister-in-law provided. It turned out amazing and we had a wonderful meal and my wife had a great introduction to hamburg steak!
The daughter looks like Joseph Gordon-Levitt if he were a Japanese girl.
omg cannot see her the same anymore LOL....
LMFAO I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
oh my gosh
Hahahah
Lord help us 😭😂
In Italy we eat the patty (hamburger) in its own, or in a bun, and then it’s a burger sandwich for us. We just use the English words! It’s really good. The meat is probably very similar to the one used for the Japanese hambagu, a mix of beef and pork, but sometimes it’s just beef. I like to make sandwich (panino) with the hamburger, mayonnaise and lettuce. Or for something more complicated, I’ll add fried bacon and cheese. But that gets too heavy sometimes. The hambagu actually looks like meatballs with tomato sauce 😂 But I’m sure the taste is way different. So cool watching these videos! Shin and Aiko are adorable. And I’ve picked up some Japanese words thanks to you. Thanks for sharing! Arigato gozaimasu!
That second round of hambagus was more like what I would call "meatloaf" in America, except they were made into patties instead of one big loaf.
reminds me of diner meatloaf, they sometimes form them into square patties and fry them on a griddle for meatloaf sandwiches.
lol! No! I think Japanese style hamburgers are more like Salisbury steak, or Hamburg steak, than meatloaf! XD
There's something magical that makes us smile when we see a father teaching his son
This video is so adorable, definitely one of my favorites.
I find it kind of funny.. The way you make the hambagu, we usually make hamburgers here in Denmark, just more flat :) Minus the saki ofc, and also for the most part minus the Mayo, although several of my friends mothers have used Mayo.
But if you change the cow meat with pig meat, it is a whole new dish called "frikadeller" which is also shaped the way that your hambagu's are ^^
Edit: Ooh, I didn't notice that it was a mix of cow and pig meat :O In that case, it is almost a dish, which for some reason we Danes can't agree on the actual name. It can either be called krebinetter and karbonader.. Also a few other names, but right now the names has sliped my mind.
Supposedly Japanese mayo is more "rich." I need to try it myself though, they really love their mayo!
@@lukejposadas european and japanese mayo is very similar in sort of ways its more creamy than sour
I always identify with Shin so much in these vids. I too want to love harass cute kitties and also play games instead of making dinner- lol.
In Italy the hambagu’s recipe is similar to the one we use to make polpette (meatballs) or polpettone, which is like a super big meatball (the -one in the end means “big”) that will be served cut into slices. There are tons of variations. My mom used to add raisins, lemon juice, tiny pieces of garlic and a little bit of parsley to the meat to make it extra tasty, mixing italian and foreign food’s flavours :)
Your hambagu is much like my meatloaf in ingredients. But instead of frying them, I make individual mounds in a baking pan (or usually in muffin tins) and top each with a thick ketchup and brown sugar mix with a touch of Worcestershire sauce (similar to your Bull Dog sauce) , and bake them. Yummy!
Yeah, I was thinking meatloaf as well....
Silkendrum also similar to rissoles in Australia
When she was unsure about the sauce, and said ほんとう？！ with the little dance when shin said it was delicious was so cute 🥰
Does Shin like Touhou? At 0:30 he was singing UN Own Was Her!
Omg I didn’t realize until now 😂
Thanks! It does sound really familiar to me but I couldn't figure that out lol
I knew I heard that somewhere before lol
UN Owen was Nya!
I recognized it immediately haha
That’s such a pretty cat omg
'Little Sister' is so me!! I got into baking about a year ago and never had a major fail, I've made treats for kids fairs and even a birthday cake but all the while I'm making it I'm just like "this is horrible! This won't work! Disaster! Don't eat it!" But everyone always says they're good which is surprising to me 😅
Shin is doing just what i do when i have to sing in chorus and I don’t know the lyrics 😆 @0:02
Ommmmg they’re so cute!! Love from France, keep up the good work guys ^^🐼🖤🐼🖤🐼🖤🐼

I was glad to see your wife making the home made hamburg! It is usually much better when you make it at home as we don't add all those preservatives, artificial flavors & chemicals we can't even pronunce!!! She was complaining about the sauce being not tasty. Did she add a little soy sauce or a mentsuyu or some konsome powder? I also add a little bit of red wine as well as the garlic unless someone is not keen on garlic. If you are in rush, the store bought DEMIGRA? sauce will do, right?
I am your brand new subscriber from NY! I look forward to seeing all of your other videos!! I used to visit Canada to do shopping back in 80's when American money was strong. I was living in Rochester, NY & it was not to far from Tronto Canada! I loved it there!
I also visited Vancouver when I was 17.... gazillion years ago! lol! It was a beautiful place & people were suoer nice! I heard many Japanese people started moving there after year 2000? I don't mind moving there but I feel I am bit too old now to move to a new place where I have no family & friends. That would never have stopped me if I were younger. I was fearless when I was young! (^^)
How long have you been living in Japan? Where in Japan do you live? Do you miss Canada? What do you miss most? I think all your children are adorable & I enjoy watching them doing just normal daily stuff. Will we ever see your wife in the video? I mean her face...
Sam Tanaka I’m pretty sure that was the wife’s sister and not the wife who did the homemade hambugu
14:28 Shoko's sister (imoto)
She's copy of Shoko
IDK why no1 said that
You're suppose to melt the cheese on top of the hamburger when it's about done. So when you take it out the of the pan it's all gooey and delicious :)) love your vids
it was horrible to watch when the girl put it on top of the lettuce, that has to be a crime.
@@cristobalcaro3392 That is a lesson I'm sure she'll learn in time.
I'm happy to see Shin cooking this time 😇
When Shin was cutting the tomato I laughed cause I can never get even slices cutting tomatoes with a knife either.
I knew something about the difference between these two things, but pretty cool to see the process!
Gosh, i love cats. Glad to see them in your vid.
Germany over here. Hambagu would be Frikadelle. Hamburger is a Burger Patty with Salad, Tomatoe, Sauce and Cheese on a Bun ( did i wrote that correctly?).
We buy the meat both beaf and pork early and fresh. Its called „halb und halb“ or tartar. You can eat that with onions raw, but only the first day. Its called a „Mettigel“ its a known party food.
I just realized Shin is humming to U.N OWEN WAS HER OMG SHIN I LOVE YOUUUU 0:33
I bet your house smelled amazing! My mouth was watering watching this.
From what I gather hambagu is a Salisbury steak type dish. Cool!
Aiko is such a polite and calm girl
0:27 IS THAT “u.n owen was her” FROM TOUHOU?
wondered the same! it has to be
RIGHTT
I looked for that specific comment.
Lmao i just noticed
Great video. In my part of the UK we have meat patties which is what we call burgers, in the shop when you pick up a burger its just the meat patty bit that you get but once home we add, a toasted bun, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cheese and sauce which is either mayo , brown sauce or ketchup or a mix of them. i prefer chicken burgers which are coated in bread crumbs but you can get beef , pork, lamb, quorn or bean burgers and some times they come stuffed with cheese too :)
Shin's T-shirt 猫派 means Catlover. hahaha
Itadakimasu....she whispered that before eating the Hambagu. So cute, my Japanese mother always had us say that before eating, and we also did prayers cuz my dad was from the south.
Ah man. I need this, what a lovely video. Cheers guys! Have a sub.
14:50 Shin is my man haha I used to be like him as a kid, no worries, he is great and will be even greater in the future. :)
0:25 unexpected touhou, shin is a lad.
In the philippines, we used hamburger patties dish with rice. In fast-food, we had options of hamburger which is american style and hamburger as dish with rice and sauce which really fill our tummy. Especially we don't really get that carbs from buns unlike rice. Tbh, everything dish with rice is a Filipino traits.
Shin is so chaotic, I love his energy, lmao.
Little Sister's hambagu had about the same ingredients as our meatloaf. I think it would taste similar. We usually put a ketchup base sauce on it as well. Only difference is we bake it in the oven in a loaf with the sauce on top and slice it like bread. It makes wonderful sandwiches the next day with colby jack cheese.
Idk what reaction was cuter. The woman's or the girl's. 14:20-14:30 😂😂😭😭
so basically hambagu is a version of a Salisbury steak which is just a patty a lot of the times with onions inside and brown gravy as the sauce
When he was looking for the meat, and then it cut to a shot of the cat, I got really worried for a second.
I don’t care , they all looked delicious . Making my mouth water . Awesome video . Good job Shin .
This video just made me hungry...
Also, it's been quite a few years from Aiko's third grade homework video. If my horrible sense of math is right, she should be graduating soon?? Around 5th grade or more of maybe 6th grade??
Love the parent attitude when Shen was preparing the food. He is so funny.
Now I want to have a 🍔 hamburger with fries. Lol
Son: meow meow meow
Dad:okay put him done
Son:meow meow
I only watch this video for Imoto, watching her little face cringe eating the hambagu is the highlight of my day.
I love your kitchen, everything organized...
The kids are so awesome 😃
The Japanese Hambagu is actually pretty similar and has mostly the same ingredients to the standard German "meat balls". Putting mayonnaise isn't done, but sometime it is filled with cheese. Panko isn't really common in Germany yet. So we usually use either bread crumbs (soaked or unsoaked according to preference) or stale buns soaked in water or milk and then ripped to pieces. Depending on preference the chopped onions can be put in raw, just sweated until soft or until golden brown.
Typically the German meatball (standard size) is eaten hot as a meaty side dish, like meat loaf in the US, but without any sauce. Sometimes kids like some ketchup for dipping and adults some hot mustard. Or stuffed in a bun slathered with mustard. And miniature meatballs like those in American spaghetti sauce are made for snacking warm or cold with some potato salad.
The typical German meatball are often almost as dark and hopefully crunchy on the outside like the one you did. To avoid the inside getting to dry the balance of meat and soaked bread or bread crumbs is important.
The Japanese-style hamburger reminds me of the mini meatloaf patties that I make. (My topping is a mixture of ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard!)
The little celebration dance little sister does at 14:20 is so cute!!
This seems like a really happy home.
Wow! Even I won't be able to fit that in my mouth! He gets an A++!
I guess you can say Russian katleti is similar in a way! We also mix in eggs and cooked onions. After frying the patties, we eat them with bread and add preferred sauces. It's amazing to see how countries and cultures that are so different can still have a bit of similarities in some aspects.
“WHAT IS THIS POOP?”
xD
Now I want hamburger at 4:30 in the morning. Thanks a lot.
"what is this poop" Doesn't seem like something that she will say. LOL
My mother always made 2 different types of hamburgers--the American one (with the bread bun) and one that was closer to the traditional German one made in Hamburg, Germany. The later is served on a plate (like in this video), only the sauce my family uses is a mushroom, onion, gravy type of sauce.
2:36 OMG HE'S DRINKING YAKULT!!!!!!!!
Then at 6:00 Aiko's channeling her inner Inspector Clouseau XD
I took two things away from this video: one, that tofu salad is a delicious idea; two, cooking with kids is extremely chaotic.
