Hello, Martina here~ I'm beginning to migrate some of my videos from my old CZcams channel over to King Kogi, so if this video feels familiar, that's why. If you haven't seen it before, please enjoy!
Good call! Loving what you're doing 🥰
I was like nooooooo the longest dejavu?!! HELP ! makes more sense now
Proud of you, Martina ^_^ You're strong enough, you've got a strong support base behind you over here, and your content is good enough that you should be able to take full and solo ownership of your content. I'd watch your content on either channel, but I will be happy to be able to support you more exclusively over here.
I'm so glad!! somehow in everything it seems I missed this upload over there. So glad it's here!
I'm really glad. I just couldn't take the bad vibes anymore and unsubscribed from EYK, I'm glad everything will be here now
Me watching this whole video knowing full well that I do not cook XD
That's okay, I watch videos about people adopting otters, but I have no intention of adopting otters 😂
Me watching this video knowing I have no nearby stores that carry these ingredients. 😩
@@wretchelttv 🤣🤣🤣
Time to learn
Why don't you cook? Just lazy or?
I’m glad these videos are finding a safe home!
I missed these and they fit so well here
Also you’re absolutely the reason I keep stock miso paste now!
Yes, as of late, I felt a strong urge for them to be on King Kogi 😅 oh! And recently I made spaghetti and meatballs, and I used miso paste in the tomato sauce and it was SO GOOD
@@KingKogi I got inspired by Eugene from try guys and did a spoonful in chocolate chip cookies…shockingly would recommend! I did a lighter miso but wasn’t white.
My personal favorites to keep in my pantry are Kewpi Mayo, Bulldog Worcestershire sauce, and okonomiyaki flour!
AkwarT~ haven't seen you here in a while. Great tip with the okonomiyaki flour too!
@@KingKogi Yeah lol lots of interesting stuffs going on so I'm glad to be kinda getting a footing in what I'm currently doing life wise XP
Dashi tsuyu is seriously so convenient to use as a base for udon, gyudon recipes..
greeting from Hong Kong. We also cook with fermented bean curd quite often. Most common ones are little light yellow square cubes (salty ) and bigger red cubes (sweet savoury). 0ut them in stew, stir fry, deep fry and even baking.
I thought I was going crazy for a sec there, could've sworn I'd seen this already... Turns out I was right all along! 😅😂
Nice to see the new channel being beefed out with all your creations, good luck Martina! 💖
Thank you for your inclusivity of those of us who don't (can't) drink alcohol! I've been sober a few years now, but would still love to try recipes that include sake or rice wine! :)
I would love to see a video of you trying a Korean restaurant in Japan!
Your pantry looks organized. Seems like all the items are arranged in a perfect manner. We will definitely look forward to more videos like this. Keep up the good work.
We have several fermented beans foods/condiment used in cooking here in Indonesia. We have Tauco/Taoco which is probably our version of Miso/Dwaenjang although its usage is not as widespread compare to those latter two. But the most common fermented bean used in cooking here is Tempe!
Tempe? Ohhhh! I've never heard of it, but likely tasted it in a dish and didn't know. What is the name of a few dishes it might be found in?
@@KingKogi I believe ppl in the states write is as Tempeh, and it's currently trendy within the vegan community bc it's often used as meat substitute. The dishes name itself is not particularly specific bc Indonesians tend to name Tempe dishes descriptively such as Tempe Bacem (Tempe braised in sweet soy sauce), Tempe Goreng (Fried Tempe), Tumis Tempe (Stir Fry with Tempe) and so on. It's a very versatile food to cook.
@@KingKogi Yes agree with @itsdioandn , I think if you look for it you'll see it. Tempeh you can get in Loblaws in Canada, smoked maple syrup flavour! or just regular, but why? Great vegan meat substitute but also great in its own right
I recently found a new Asia shop in my city. It has sooo many items I got lost a little bit. Your video helps me a lot
I found you several years ago while searching for “miso soup” where I learned how to make dashi from one of your Martina’s Midnight Munchies videos. Thanks for continuing to enlighten my mind and help open me up to new ideas and food sensations. I’m so proud to be able to support your channel on Patreon. You go, girl!
you can also put up the kombu after soaking and simmer it to make kombu tsukudani, it's great as a side dish or onigiri filling, or fill with some salmon and simmer.
What I understand looking at the linguistic side is that teri yaki is derived from the onomatopeia teri teri which means shiny. So teriyaki litterally means shiny grilled. That's why you also see for example dishes in cooking magazines that are called teri-ni; it refers to the "shiny" sauce.
Here in the Netherlands we don't have any fermented beans. So we use the Japanese and Korean names for these bean pastes.
Omgggg we need korean cooking essentials too!!
Oh that's true! I still cook Korean food here in Japan and have many pantry essentials for Korean food too
omg the bonito flakes just brought back so many memories of all the times we fed our cats their dry food and saying in the most baby/kitty talk voice "you want some fishy flakes??" lmao
Excellent video! And also much needed for beginners. I would also suggest adding roasted sesame, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar/rice vinegar. I seem to end up using those fairly often as well. Kewpie mayo I don't actually use that much aside in tuna mayo onigiri, but it is pretty useful sometimes.
Slowly building my cupboard full of Japanese and Korean pantry essentials. Having these items makes all the difference in the world when trying to recreate my favourite dishes~
I recently rewatched all your videos because I was longing for more King Kogi content 💝 Seems like I have been heard!! Also, I LOVE your Sailor Moon top, the pattern is so subtle but at second glance I noticed it! Have you been to the current Sailor Moon exhibition already? 🌙
I'm Chinese and we use fermented beancurd paste. I only ever really use it for one specific dish in the fall though (cooked Chinese water spinach). I'm sure there are many other uses for it. We also have a fermented black soybean paste, but ours is very rich, salty and savoury. It's commonly used in mapo tofu or fish dishes. I love having it with rice😋😋😋
Thanks for this Martina! For me its easier to buy Korean ingredients because I can read Korean. But when it comes to Japanese and Chinese ingredients I'm always so lost! So this is a perfect starting point
Took me half of the video to notice it's a Sailor Moon dress! So cute!
Gluten, crustacean, mollusc and soy protein allergies mean I have to be *extra* careful with Japanese ingredients.
No miso, no tofu no stock powder that isn't labelled 'gluten free', *no curry cubes* (cry), *no edamame*, no noodles (even udon and soba noodles have wheat!), no wheat protein, no fish cake, and *no soy sauce unless it is wheat-free*!
You may also find that importation on some seaweed items is limited for biosecurity reasons in some countries (NZ and Australia).
*sigh*
The good news is that with extra effort, you can make delicious gluten-free Japanese food! You cannot make all the classic dishes, but options still exist.
I have celiacs. I feel your pain. I miss curry cubes
Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, it will help a lot of people!
This was awesome! We finally got some miso paste available in our small town in Nebraska. So excited to pick some up! We have miso paste, but no eggs in town (for 3 weeks and counting due to a bird flu). Go figure! 😅
i always try to keep some miso paste around; i never know when i want to add it to my ramen or make a salad dressing. :)
i've tried the dwenjang, but i prefer the taste and texture of miso.
another thing we make make sure to have around is togarashi. my dad is obsessed with having that in his ramen or soup--even chili sometimes!
I greatly appreciate this! I'd love to try making some Japanese dishes one day, but it really can be overwhelming!
Lovely video!
If anyone is wondering if they need all 8 and worried it's gonna be expensive, I get how you feel!
When I first started trying to cook japanese I was still in high school and couldn't afford much.
I would say start with: soy sauce, miso and sake (mirin if you can, but sake+sugar works..)
You can try many japanese dishes with some substitutes. A random (light) fish stock cube is fine if you want to try miso for the first time!
Since I started buying Dashi my life (and my cooking) has changed
The plants in the background make me so happy!
Great video! I was in Aomori last week and had an amazing miso-ginger sauce on soft-serve ice cream. It was an amazing burst of flavor! I'm sure you would love it!
The editing on this video is next level! So great with the pronunciations and visuals. Super interesting, thank you Martina :)
Hi now i have to go make dinner thank for the video it a nice video to watch on snowing night
I can't wait to eat fermented foods and condiments again, I just stopped a heavy treatment and had a lot of restrictions. Thank you for the video
thank you for the video !!!
Was really nice to see this video again! It also reminds me of when I used to make super basic japanese inspired food, and I am feeling motivated to get off the food delivery and try it again. Thanks Martina!!
Sesame oil ごま油 is an essential cupboard staple too. And パン粉!
Martina I love your food related videos ❤ this was really so much fun. I feel like you are making it easy to learn Japanese or Asian cuisine for us all
I tried a vegan green bean casserole recipe that called for miso to add more umami/depth of flavor to the dish. I, for sure, had never thought of miso as being used for anything other than soup. It's a cool staple I would have not previously thought to add to my pantry.
My favorite new way to use white miso is a sauce with browned butter and white miso on pasta, it’s amazing
DROOL YUM! It is also great in brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and I used brown-red miso in my tomato sauce.
There are a few premade vegan dashi packs but it’s pretty easy to make with Kombu like she said. ありがと🌱💚
I would love to see you do some Canadian recipes you grew up with
I switched from regular mayo to kewpie years ago and never looked back. Kewpie is so tasty!
2 soy sauces is not enough if you like cooking East Asian food. I admit I'm a bit extra but I have 8. 5 Chinese, 2 Japanese, and 1 Korean. I've tried making Japanese food with Chinese soy sauce and it isn't the same. The flavour is very noticeably different.
Though I just remembered that I have a 3rd Japanese soy sauce, gluten free for my sister. You really can't ever have enough soy sauce.
The flavour difference is SO noticable! Exactly! I always find it funny when like, a Korean-American chef is like, "today I'm making a Korean comfort food" and proceeds to used Japanese dashi, soy sauce, sesame oil, mayo, miso... and like, a bit of Korean gochujang. So Japanese food with a Korean spicy kick? Haha!
But yeah, I just have 3 kinds of Japanese soy sauce 🤟🏻
Can't wait to spruce up my pantry with these gems!! TYSM Martina!!!
Yeees! Your videos always make me happy 💖💖💖 hello from México 🇲🇽
Mmmmm who else wants to be invited to a dinner party 😂
Yay!! Super down for more King Kogi in my subscriptions!!
Watching again! 🧡
Hi 👋🏻 in Malta we have bigilla which is mashed softened, boiled fava beans mixed with salt, olive oil, red chilis (scaled up or down depending on your spice tolerance) and herbs (usually parsley). It’s used as a dip/spread with bread or water crackers. You’d be hard-pressed to find it missing from a pantry in Malta 😊
Great video 🎉
Sending love from Canada
Clicked so fast 😅 love your videos!
I really do need to get in a few things like this and get a rice cooker, it seems like it'd help with my struggles with cooking and getting myself to eat (also some of the cute food tools like those in your recent haul might trick me into eating when cooking is making me actually cry). Plus anything that can help my stomach is a plus! If I can't go to Japan maybe I shall bring little bits of it to me xD
You are an excellent teacher! I also love your teaching style! It’s all new to me-and I really appreciate the quality of the way in which you present everything! Thank you very much and best wishes for all you do.
I think pantry or cooking staples in the US (at least in the Central or South) would be... olive oil, cheddar cheese, a loaf of bread, Mrs Dash or Old Bay Seasoning or something similar, vanilla extract, butter or margarine and a condiment like ketchup, mayo, or mustard.
Thank you for giving so much extra information about the ingredients. It was so interesting!.
You are so knowledgeable!! Thanks for the tips
Love your videos Martina, thank you for creating!
Hi there Martina! First of all i love your outfit today, its so cute and it looks super comfortable to wear. Im from Cambodia and while we dont have a bean paste per say, we do have a bean product, Its like bean thats soaking in this salty brine. Its called seang and its used mostly as a topping for porridge, noodle dishes etc but it is definitely also used for dipping sauce
Thank you, my Sailor Moon secret dress! Love how loose and flowy it is, super comfy. Oh, I've never tried seang, (to my knowledge) but I love savoury toppings that go on rice porridge for breakfast. thanks for sharing this info! I love learning about new foods and ingredients 💕
Me everytime Martina said Miso soup: "Oh God, miso soup!"
I know I’ve already seen this video but I’m so excited to watch it today! Hope the videos love their warm new home the same way I do!
Thanks for this! Much needed!
This is great!
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I love cooking and really want to cook Japanese food at home properly.
Hey Martina! This is a little off topic and you may have already talked about this but have you seen any vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo? My husband and I would like to take a trip but he’s allergic to seafood and we’re worried about his food options.
There are vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo for sure, and if they're vegetarian they are ONLY vegetarian so it should be safe. It isn't as popular as the vegetarian/vegan movement in other Western countries, and unlike my experience in North America, most shops in Japan don't offer a "vegetarian option" at an average izakaya. If you're sticking to vegetarian restaurants, and I'd suggest maybe renting a place that offers you a kitchen so you can enjoy cooking a few of your own meals with the excellent tasting Japanese beef, pork, chicken, and veg and fruits!
@@KingKogi That’s a great option! Thanks for the suggestions, Martina! ❤️
Thanks for this! Really helpful!
I keep a low sodium miso in the fridge and have 4 different types of sho-yu, vegan mushroom, double aged dark, regular and low sodium, each has it's own distinct taste and effect on the dish. Cooking Sake Always. That comes in handy in a lot of different dishes, the only thing we don't do, Fish. Fish based anything, ntyvm. Bigg Huggs !
oyster sauce and hoisin, just don't tell me
Thanks!
Martina come to 高知県 (Kochi Prefecture) and have some katsuo no tataki ❤ You can also tour around Shikoku for some good udon 🍜
ooo i was gonna say ive seen this but im glad they are here now

*New KK video drops*
Me: GOTTA CLICK FAAAAASSSSTTTT 😍😍😍

I'm from Brazil hehe love japanese food
Awesome pay staples.
Living in Cornwall in the UK, I tend to buy in bulk.
I love to buy my dried Shiitake, Bonito etc. in 1KG batches, then vac pack it into smaller units.
I did once have s fantasy of creating seaweed and fermented dried fish products from the sea around Cornwall, but then I realised that I still had a lot m,ore to learn, and that our waters are not as clean as I thought.
Thank you Martina.
PS: Did Kogi apply to play the pasrt of Piggy in Slumberland with Jason Momoa?
