- Professional chef Yuji Haraguchi of Okonomi and Yuji Ramen and home cook Daniel are trading Japanese curry recipes and hitting the kitchen. We set Daniel up with an eye-popping $339 worth of ingredients and Yuji’s recipe, sending only a modest $14 worth of goods back the other way. To assist Daniel with Yuji’s extensive ingredient list and intricate recipe, food scientist Rose dialed in to lend some expert advice. Which curry are you asking for a second serving of?

Is this recipe on there?
Does it include more Daniel? I feel like we need more Daniel in our lives!
I like that Yuji doesn't look down on the premade curry mix. He respects it as a staple of regular home cooking that common people love.
Don't forget, not everyone has hours available to them to make that stuff. It's not bad per se to use premade stuff like that, just make sure that it's good quality.
YES! I noticed that too. And I LOVE that he didn't bash any of the common ingredients and showed some ways to amp up the deliciousness using those ingredients.
'member when Yuji used store-bought curry roux blocks for his Level 3 curry? He's a hack.
Curry roux base is pretty common in Japan. It's like a Polish chef using powdered Vegeta, a Brit using Worchestershire, or a Caribbean chef using Maggi.
@@tiacho2893 Wait. Maggi is used by caribbean chefs? I wasn't even sure if it exists outside of Germany lol
I like chef Yuji, more of him please.
I second this! He’s such a great chef to be added to these cooking vids
Third
Fourth 🤦🏻🙋🏼♂️
He is good
Itadori yuji?
PLEEEEEEEASE give us more of Chef Yuji!!!
We always complain about chefs that substitute or add in a bunch of extra ingredients... Chef Yuji just goes ahead with what he's given and MAKES UDON and rice flour for chicken katsu and an onsen egg. 🤯 Absolute next-level.
This also seems to be a reaction from Epicurious from negative comments from pro chefs adding a bunch of random things in previous videos. Personally, I like this format better because it showcases what a person with training and years of experience can do with random stuff people will have around the house. Chef Yuji really shined in this episode with his creativity and explaining things in a way that it just sounds like everything he is doing is something you can do yourself. And I will be trying to make this curry.
Chef Yuji's reaction to Daniel's well made curry was great too. Hope to see these two paired together more in the future.
UP!!!
That girl pro chef too
I keep wondering, who adds random ingredients to their foods? I never see that going on in this series
@@FF18Cloud gordon ramsay
This was such a fun episode. Bearded Daniel with his unusual wardrobe choice. Calm, cool Rose with her encyclopedic culinary info. Chef Yuji allowing his fun side slip through every now and then. Delightful. Oh, and the really interesting ingredients, too!
What is that “subtly” ripped shirt doing?
@@Steveofthejungle8 They edited out the part where the sea urchin mauled him.
@@jpvillavert D:
Daniel looks like he's a member of a late '90s boy band.
@@colefields1513 TELL ME WHYYYY
It looks like Epicurious had been keeping Daniel trapped in a dungeon and he had to fight his way out to make this video.
That's really funny, I didn't really notice it until reading this comment, so... good job
It really does
Hahahahahaha so true... He is also a gem, that's why they were keeping him inside the dungeon ✨
I was wondering if his barber died
Post-time skip Daniel
What some people might not understand, the home cook being allowed to call up Rose is possibly the most Home Cook thing ever. No one doesn't google a video to use a new ingredient for something they want to try!
People don’t google? Or people google? I got a little confused on the wording
my aunts are always calling up my mom to get their recipes right!!😂
@@beashemmad.sayson545 I will try to rephrase that. Daniel calling Rose = normal home cook people googling. This is the most realistic part. Some people might not realize it was realistic.
How did I do on the transribe? lul
@@theatog basically the same conclusion i got now, so 10/10
the way Daniel's eyes lit up when Yuji said it's the best curry he's ever had, so precious
I feel like he just went wild when he heard Epicurus was fitting the bill lol, he did call it his "dream curry"
Daniel's face lit up when Yuji said it was the best curry he'd ever had, it was priceless.
Go away spambot.
@@LordDragox412 what
@@chocolat9400 It's not a real person. He's just someone who buys verified accounts to set up spambots that copy-paste a random popular comment and use other bots to like it a bunch. It's done in order to promote their account to earn subs to later resell these accounts. They're always set up in the same manner, same channel layout, recommended channel, the same single video with exact same description etc. because laziness. At the beginning they just bought random popular accounts like Pepper, Blexzy, but then that turned out to be too much work so they just got accounts "A", "B", "C", "D" etc. Worst part? CZcams doesn't want to take those accounts down, because there's nothing wrong with stealing comments or self-promotion. That's why human spammers that set up spambots on their main account like AxxL never got any strikes, and are allowed to spread their spam on every popular video like cancer. But hey, at least they're not the illiterate sexbots who can't even speak English and have a pretty funny typo of "butter" instead of "better". Oh yeah, those thotbots? Yup, you guessed it, CZcams doesn't ban them either. Creators are forced to comb through their own comments and remove them by themselves, because this website is so great. Praise the almighty algorithm and total lack of human oversight!
stealing others comment and then just change it a bit..you must be proud of yourself huh thief bot
@@LordDragox412 Wait wha-? Sir That’s a human being
More Yuji please, he's wonderful and uses ingredients in an unexpected way
Daniel making a stupid pun, laughing at having made said pun, then quietly going "I hate myself" is a mood and a half
I wasn't ready for it and it made me laugh lmao
Omg, honestly, the greatest episode of swapping the ingredients. Daniel cooked like a real pro. And Chef Yuji made masterpiece from regular ingredients. More of them, please!
This was really fun to watch. Chef Yuji was so humble, creative and respectful with the recipe he got. Daniel reaction was priceless, heartwarming to see. Bring both the guys more, Epicurious!
You know what: seconded!
In so many episodes I felt like the chef just did not respect the home cook by adding “pantry” ingredients only they would have in a pantry…
Chef Yuji makes sure we can replicate it at home (even the egg we can try in a very low heat)
I like this pro chef. One look at the ingredients and he says "I can work with this."
Daniel went from a student to father in a matter of weeks holy moly
The beards suits him great though
Helo Epicurious. I was wondering if I could get a job as the leftover eater for the channel. My previous experience includes finishing all my family members' food, running buffets out of business, and setting the local Cici's Pizza slice record. I would love the opportunity to be a part of this great show by being able to finish the wonderful food to make the cleaning easier. Thanks
He’s also a really good cook ^^^^ HAVE HIM ON THE SHOW
Yuji showing not just genuine surprise but joy at how good Daniel's turned out is amazing. I LOVE this channel!
I can't get over how well Daniel plated his curry, it looks straight out of a high class restaurant
Yes, he did a marvelous job!
I think this is my favourite episode of this series. Daniel definitely did Yuji's recipie justice and his plating was outstanding
Yuji is such a G! He can make magic. I love that level of knowledge and creative application thereof!
This was such an interesting video to watch as I have never made a Japanese curry meal before so that was all new to me. Daniel's facial expression while he was trimming "the beast" was priceless and I can honestly say that I could not have done that while a camera was aimed at me. An incredible tie at the end showed me that anything it possible with curry.
I tried making it last year and my god, I can't stop thinking about it. It was super easy too! There are loads of simple videos you can follow. Just get the Golden Curry box. It was honestly super easy. Try it!
I want to cook it again but I need to buy the curry mix from my local Asian store as it's cheaper there.
I know we're all here for the food, but Daniel is clearly entering his Zaddy era, and I am all about it
always has been
Omg right
Curiously enough, he's really giving me some Freddie Prinze Jr. vibes. Went from She's All That-era FPJ to The Iron Bull real quick there.
This beard is doing funny things to me 😭
@@estherluciano9623 weirdly enough, me too. And I’m heterosexual that loves his gf 😂
I never expect we can swap the purpose of all purpose flour for Chicken Katsu, it changed to Udon instead.
Rice changed to rice flour, for chicken katsu.
What a brilliant moves!!😍😍😍
This kind of content on Epicurious is getting more and more wholesome! From only getting to see each other’s presentations in the past episodes to getting to try each other’s versions? Not to mention getting the opportunity to meet each other in person? Really wholesome!
This series shows that having high quality ingredients can do a lot for food quality, but that will never be a substitute for experience
Chef Yuji is great! More videos with him please. Also, Daniel did an awesome job as always!
Their reaction at 19:04 was so pure, their joy and shock is what we need in the world :)
I can only imagine what Lorenzo's reaction would have been to the geoduck
*WOAHHHHHHH* followed with uncontrollable laughter
Probably: *laughing maniacally while prepping the whole thing
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chef Yuji is so adorable, love when he cooks 🤍
I had no idea udon noodles were made so easily
I know right, just all purpose flour and water!! Crazy
I smiled so hard at the end. They both did so well. Learnt so many new things as I always do from these chef vs home cook vids.
Yuji is my favourite chef so far. So knowledgable, and yet so friendly at the end. I learned so much!
Daniel did a crazy good job, the look on Yuji's face was of genuine happiness. You love to see it.
No matter how many times I hear ”geoduck” pronounced correctly, it always takes me by surprise.
I just want to know why it isn't spelled "goeduck"
@@SavageGreywolf because English spellings of foreign words suck very often.
it always sounds like a Pokemon's name to me HAHA
@@wave1090 colonel
Every time I see the word, I picture a cross-bred pokemon. An odd combination of geodude and psyduck/golduck.
Love Yuji, the second chef apart from Esther who actually sticks to the ingredients given to him instead of grabbing stuff from their own fridge! That's the mark of a great chef in my opinion.
I love that this series is so gentle, supporting the home cooks with the info and time they need to pull off the complex chef recipes & I always learn something useful for my home kitchen firm the chef’s techniques with the cheap ingredients. A lesser channel would set the home cooks up to fail for “drama”.
This series and 4 levels are some of my favorite cooking videos on CZcams. I'm never disappointed, especially when rose is in the video
Without the geoduck, Daniel's guess of $150 for the remaining ingredients was $30 short. I don't think that's his closest guess ever, but I just thought that was interesting. The price of the alcohols and proteins in these videos can change the final total so much if the home cooks aren't familiar with them. I think they've figured out most of the 'normal' fancy chef ingredients are going to be $5 more than they cost at a regular supermarket.
If I were on this show, I'd just guess "One million dollars" with a Doctor Evil pinky to the mouth.
I thought I was going to hate this one but they both respected the ingredients and did the best they could.
And can we talk about the plating from the amateur? Dude's got serious talent
I’m so happy to see Yuji again! He’s so thorough about explaining his process and is very adept at cooking. I’d love to see more of him on here :)
YUJI'S SMILE AFTER TRYING DANIEL'S TAKE OF THE CURRY!!! AHHHHH SO CUTE!!!
this made me soooooooooo happy!!! always great to see daniel and i love chef yuji so much!!! just so wholesome, my new fave episode
Outstanding video! Absolutely loved watching Chef Yuji and Daniel cook my favorite of all Japanese dishes. These two are just so wholesome. Hopefully we'll see more of them together!
Daniel with a beard looks absolutely badass.
This is my favorite one by far!!! Keep Daniel and Chef Yuji coming for more! Such a fun pair
This episode really sums up why Epicurious is my favorite channel. Interesting content that’s both new and useful, well edited videos, and chefs with great personalities and presentation.
Daniel is so great in these videos. He has such a great spirit during these challenging tasks and you can see that he really loves learning it all
One of these days i expect Rose to go like "What in God's name is that thing!! Is that even edible?! WTF, let me google that"
That would be hilarious (and very believable) :D
They edited that part out.
Could be great for an April's fools day.
- Frank using premade stuff, like a pre-made tortila, premade sauce, already-cooked chicken etc...
- Rose asking people (what is this ingredient) and earning from the chefs.
- Lorenzo being depressed and angry.
etc :P
@@belalabusultan5911 omg that would be so hilarious epicurious needs to make this real
@@belalabusultan5911 LMAOOO
Both are so humble, and there is no better feeling than someone loving your food
This might just be my fave episode so far!
We all know why Daniel was laughing at the geoduck and I am so here for it.
this was an incredible video. both of these chefs are amazing people and were very entertaining. i loved their energy.
i also feel like i learned so much! i have a few boxes of golden curry at home, this definitely opened up my eyes and inspired me to get creative with the curry. i love curry! can’t wait to see some more videos with Yuji and Daniel.
By far, the most adorable episode yet.
Yuji bringing in the authenticity everywhere he goes!!!
Golden curry is finally something I can get in the South at Walmart. It's so good and so easy to use. I really liked this episode a lot.
This is great content 💟. Positive and supportive energy and some original things and tips to try at home.
I just love Daniel’s vibe,, you can tell he appreciates and celebrates all the little things 🥳 such an overall mood booster and would be a great friend to have haaa
We need more of Chef Yuji. He respects all people and ingredients. Also he is an awesome chef. I personally love him!!!
Yeah that ending was adorable. The face on Yuji when he realizes it's hella good.
This is perfect!! one of the greates episodes i´ve watched!!!!
This video might’ve made my top two! 🤩 Keep em coming pleaaaase!
Chef Yuji was so taken away by his recipe! So humble but so genius!
Daniel's people skills are incredible, what a fun personality. We need more of this combo!
love how incredible charismatic they both are, just in very different ways
I love chef Yuji. I will watch every video you post with him at least a dozen times.
The recipe and ideas may not have been Daniel's but his plating was beautiful, even Chef Yuji was blown away
Daniel having a beard will forever haunt me.
i mean he looks good
@@bops7564 yeah but I’m so used to him having a bare face him having a beard is surreal to me
@@silvyach dont worry bud, i was surprised when i saw it at first too
I swear I knew him as Daniel only by this comment
🤣😬
More of Daniel and Yuji please this was such a good episode!
I WANT MORE OF BOTH OF THEM THEY SO ENTERTAINING TO WATCH!
Very interesting to see a professional chef like Yuji, cook with approachable ingredients.
Definitely learned something for my next curry there.
The juxtaposition of these two's personalities is so comical😂
That ending was so sincere. I really enjoyed this video
This was so fuunnn!! I loved this two together
Daniel just always know how to make my day!
Daniel actually plated that so well
Yuji left a lasting impression on me since the 4 levels Ramen video. He just seemed so passionate and well versed in everything he does. Lovely to watch ☺️
Very inciteful seeing the teaching, learning, and Chef Yuji's skill
Daniel with the dad looks is a nice change of scenery.
lol these guys both killed it and yuji enjoying his dream curry so sacred of a moment to watch
Soo impressed by Daniel's plating up- it looked so pretty & appetising!
This is EASILY my favourite episode of the series. Loved EVERYTHING about it!!!
Oop. Daniel has embodied his final form as a bona fide daddy. Especially when he’s cracking dad jokes like, “Will it taste it gooey or will it taste ducky?”
It's insane how I like Yuji's carry more! The difference in ingredients is radical, but this video proves presentation even with cheap products can look better than with expensive ones!
In what ways did you like Yuji’s presentation more?
Best episode, hands down!
Chef Yuji is always so positive of the ingredients he gets and also doesn’t even diss on the pre made curry mix love this guy dude! He’s gotta be on the show more!
really appreciate how open-minded daniel is about weird-looking japanese ingredients. as someone raised by a licensed japanese chef i nearly SCREAMED when i heard the "i'm going to make udon noodles"
As always.. If it a bit cheap thrown a lot of time and skill at it to make it better. The "I can work with this" of these pro-chef are so beautiful to watch.
Best part is the things they do can be replicated at home!
I love to see this chanel,....love it!
Continue please!
Loved this episode! Chef Yuji was awesome, and I'm always a fan of Daniel.
I love Daniel's Expression 😄
The idea that the next day the leftovers are genuinely better is so true. It's the same with authentic Indian food. there was a buffet I'd frequent back in the day that was significantly better in the evening than in the morning b/c that food has been cooking literally all day. Like you can't tell me saag paneer today is better than saag paneer tomorrow, it's literally not true
Some dish truly taste better the more you cook them lol
Especially for like, soup and stews.
Chef Yuji is so humble!!! He is amazing!!!
I love this! My favorite chef to watch so far
Chef didn't bat an eye at the ingredients he was given. Lol what a boss
Japanese Curry is one of my favorite dishes and I've been eating it for close to 30 years ❤
I've never had it, but I just added that exact curry powder to my grocery list!
just wanna say, love chef yugi!! definition of a great chef. humble and doesnt judge at all:)
chef Yuji so amazing i looovvedddd how he is soooo respectful
Finally found a dish I'm not interested in preparing maybe eating but the prep nope😭let me just orep the cheapest one 😂
I feel Daniel's "I hate myself" after a bad joke soo much (also adding to his dad vibe I feel likeXD)
Dude, Chef Yuji is insane! I love his attitude, would really love to see him again.
