      If you or Uncle Roger actually took the time to look up the reviews for this omurice restaurant you would see that the ratings are actually either average or below average. Apparently the omurice is average at best, and this chef Motokichi is mostly just showboating at best with his charming personality The tourist that actually spent time and money going to this place, were left very disappointed.

    • @heni63
      @heni63 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Although he seems to know a lot of techniques (and how to use them) and even the result looks good (doesn't mean it tastes good but often if you see a meal and the details are good and such it translates into taste, at least my experience). So I don't know how the difference is so big between the 2 reviews and how it actually tastes but Iam not a cook :)​@@luminatrixfanfiction

    I like that Uncle Roger was pulling for Andrew, rather than roasting and shaming him like he does, say, Jamie Oliver. It’s nice that he recognizes that it’s one thing to go after someone who is supposedly an expert, and a different matter when you’ve got someone who’s genuinely trying to master a new skill.

      The difference is that Jamie SHOULD be an expert but just pretends to be. I've been to his restaurants. In one of them, let's say the pasta with truffle creamy sauce... the only good think were the shavings of truffle. Half the pasta was undercooked, the other half was overcooked, and the sauce was totally bland. Of course it wasn't Jamie cooking, but it was an expensive place and Jamie should take better care about the quality of what's being served under his brand.

    Chef Motokichi making his dishes is the epitome of the phrase "Find a job You Love doing." He always has a smile on his face when he is making omurice, and his attitude is so infectious that he always makes me grin. He really is a wonderful and amazing person, from what I have seen. Would love to meet him one day.

    “Kodawari” refers to “fixation”. It literally means “to refuse to compromise” (ie. on quality). It’s used to refer to nit-pickers and how people who are very passionate about something are very detail-oriented. Something I’ve noticed with a lot of my Japanese friends, haha!

    I took a wood bending class from a famous Japanese artist. She always asked " how it went" she'd then compliment something, then give a negative critique, then compliment me for a good job. So that made me laugh when Nigel pointed that out. I knew she was doing it, but I didn't know that was common.

      That's a fairly common practice in educating. I've heard it called a "compliment sandwich" because you sandwich criticism between a pair of compliments. The first compliment defuses stress after the performance, then comes the constructive criticism, then a compliment to inspire them to try again.

Of course cut few weeks later I m in bed trying to sleep , very thirsty but tired so I m like" my soul can get out of my body n drink water. , i m not leaving my bed " and i fell asleep just for half a minute. I was woken uo by my own scream like try to scream with your mouth closed that's how it sounded to me . N i was there lying on my bed thinking what just happened when my mom came to my door and said " you were asking for water , here take some " . And i was like damm even soul is lazy . 😂😂

    This is the video that actually got me to try cooking. I mean, I've made simple things, but as a young man this was the video that made me think "that looks tasty. And as hard as it looks, it looks doable." Now im still very much a home cook, and i wouldn't say its a hobby. But this is the video that lead to me now being able to go "lets try to cook this thing" after reading about a dish/recipe or seeing a video. Helped me step out of my comfort zone. Came out at a good time, as my mom thought i was old enough to go on vacation and leave me alone soon after and i had to cook for myself for a couple weeks by myself.

    I adore cooking but have always said I'd hate to cook professionally because I'm incapable of making a dish the same way more than once (it's something where I absolutely follow my moods and my intuition), and I know that's a no-no professionally.

    Also I'd recommend Food Wars (an anime) 👀 It encouraged me to take risks.

    I always love watching Chef Motokichi making omurice. I am too intimidated to try to make that style of omelet at home. I also just haven't made a demi-glace in a billion years, so when I'm really craving something with the flavor profile of omurice, I go for the ketchup version. :D I also just make really soft scrambled eggs instead of an omelet. Still works, still tasty. (Eggs and rice are a very common breakfast component at my house. Heck, I had eggs, rice, mushrooms, and a small piece of fish for breakfast today.)

    The scariest thing that has happened to me was in my old house, I used to live in a quite secluded place, There were only 4 building in a square of property, we call it a "Colony", I used to live on the 3 floor so pretty close to the ground So in the morning There used to kids playing in the centre area of the colony, Just random kid things, But I swear at Night whenever i used to try to go to sleep I used to hear their laughter, Their giggles and playings noises, I used to think "oh their just kids!!" And somehow catch some sleep, But One night I was VERY tired and needed some immediate rest, I Again started to hear the kids playing, Saying words like "Pass me the ball" "what are you doing" and giggles and laughter in general, I opened the window to scold them a little bit, But when i opened the window, I saw nothing, No one, not even a single being outside, That was bone chilling to begin with, but I refused to believe it was paranormal activity and thought that "They must be playing in a corner and the noise must be echoing" I stepped out of my house To look around so that j won't be scared if i found out that there's no ghost it's just real kids, But when i started to search for them.....I saw no one except for the security guard, Not even a single soul, I again got the same shivers and went running to my home. After that incident i moved out of the place in 3 months, But i still get weird imaginary nightmares about That incident. Creepy right??

    Chef James, years ago on a lacy summer's weekend I decided to spoil my self and make a Tortilla Española a "A la Cubana". I took my trustee tortilla frying pan and towards the end I took it out of the oven and discovered it stuck to the BOTTOM due to miss use!! I still ate it as an ugly scrambled eggs! Lesson of the story do not lend your pots or pans to anyone!! Really good video Thanks!!

    Not sure where else to put this, but maybe a review celebrating a Japanese master chef is the right place. I suddenly thought how interesting it would be to witness and get some commentary on preparing fugu. I think, particularly in the US, preparing and enjoying fugu is a culinary mystery and I'd be interested in your take.

    Hi Chef! You asked about haunted places, well, I owned a 1700s tavern in Pennsylvania and it was very haunted! I was the only one who would stay after dark. It had the full cooking hearth, warming room & dining room completely intact & authentic. At night you could hear them cooking and hear the customers eating in the dining room and talking to each other! It was great! Many things happened there while I owned it and there are lots of stories! Great video! Uncle Roger really does need to get with you and do a video! Have a good one!

    4:40 I used to work at an Italian restaurant in Quito Ecuador which changed their first beautiful location for this matters. The first place was really beautiful which I didn't work in but only heard my cousins' experiences in there. It had old 1800s design but turns out back in those centuries that place was full of bad history apparently.
    One time in the early 2000's my cousin forgot to take the trash bag from the kitchen after all lights were off, and also the alarm was already set so once inside he had to use the little slide up door from the kitchen, you know those typical ones. Once he got in he was just getting his eyes used to the darkness in there when he heard, as he describes, like if someone grabbed those trash bags and on purpose shake them to make the most noise possible. He ran away as fast as he could without the trash bag. All the crew was waiting outside for him and not even the boss objected to my cousin's decision because prior to that they had been changing security guards over and over, again, due to this matters like lights turning on and off by themselves and all that. None of the security guards wanted the smoke. So they had to move. Also they use to keep the tables with a table cloth, silverware and wine glasses but one morning they found all of that on the floor. A mystery to this day!

    Unrelated but what do you think of the general western style vegetable stock preparation method? (Or is it mexico/US)
    People seem to like to put veggies into oven and char them until golden/most of the time black.
    As far as my concern goes the black stuff is not only bitter but carcinogenic…
    Any advice?
    For me i always just pan fry them at most but in most recipe whether if its broth or i just need veggies i never fry them oven them at all, just straight to boiling after rinse and dry.

    Putting in butter just before you throw in the rice is fine though because the rice will absorb the butter and not allow it to burn.
    Flambé isn't stir fry though because doesn't flambé require a spirit of some kind and the flambé is burning off the alcohol? The word literally means flamed, you flame your spirit to remove the alcohol but leave the flavour of whichever spirit.
    When I lived by myself in one place, something would move my furniture. It would move the couch just enough to be noticeable but not in any way problematic. One time I heard a bang in the early morning, stumbled out of bed, opened the bedroom door and fell over a chair that I never put there. I didn't close my door either, I usually had a bag against it to stop it from closing. Another time I heard another bang in the night, went to my cupboard, opened it and there was this weird black treacle like substance down the walls. There was nothing like that in the cupboard and my old man who came to help me clean it up mentioned he had never seen anything like it either. Things would also inexplicably go missing. Even when I cleaned up the whole place to move, there were still things that had gone missing that I never found.

    13:47, there's a neat thing I learned about how gravity affects how we hold stuff.
    Think about it like this: when you're picking up something heavy, like a big box, holding it lower gives you better control.
    The same goes for using a spoon to scoop sauce. If you hold the spoon lower on the handle, you have more control, especially when the sauce is thick. This is because when you hold it up high, gravity pulls harder, making it harder to control. But when you hold it closer to the sauce, gravity isn't as strong, so it's easier to handle smoothly.
    It's like a little tug-of-war between you and gravity. When you hold something up high, gravity has more power, but holding it closer to the heavy thing gives you more power to control it.
    I know it might sound a bit tricky, but it's just how things work because of gravity!

I was going to suggest to you to challenge some of these kids to cook. I’m actually fascinated with how skilled some of them are. Also you appear to have patience and would be great encouragement to them. Also you could do a live and allow people to send money in the live lessons. Fix a different dish each week. I have a friend that sometimes makes several thousand doing live.
