    • @zp944
      @zp944 Před 2 lety +13

      I cook by smell and color first, then taste second.
      When I make corrections, I'm not adjusting the "flavor," per say. I'll have a taste and think it's missing more "red" for example, or it doesn't have enough layers in the smell, and then I'll add or increase an ingredient that I taste as "red" or know will fit in the scent level that's missing.
      I never measure things because I never make the exact same portions every time

  • @choocharttheeraitthimate1381

    Why Joshua did not put evaporated milk in TomYam soup minutes before turned off the heat? By not doing so, the colour of his TomYam soup looks bloody dark. It should be red pink. In addition, Thai cooks do not fry mushrooms when cooking TomYam. It is okay to wrap lemongrass and galangal in white cloth, but we do not do so in Thailand. Uncle Roger is absolutely right for the fact that lemon juice should be added after the heat is turned off. I am proud of uncle's knowledge on international cooking. He is real!

  • @yukii-onna
    @yukii-onna Před 2 lety +872

    As Uncle Roger said, please let lemongrass and galangal float, the longer you let them float the more fragrance come out. More suggestion, pour fish sauce after you turn off the heat and do not stir, this will give a better smell and flavor of fish sauce. Don't worry about an uneven taste cuz' when you use the ladle, it will balance automatically. Add lime juice in the bowl you're gonna serve not directly in the pot, so you can keep the right fragrance and sourness. This can help when you cook in the big pot and won't ruin the whole Tom Yum with bitterness of lime juice when it meets the heat.
    Hope you all enjoy Tom Yum

    As a Thai, overall I’d say Josh did pretty good.
    We also have creamy version of Tom Yum. We call “Tom Yum Nam Khon” ต้มยำน้ำข้น
    Some people use coconut milk, some use evaporated milk(which I like better personally) but not adding as much as Tom Kha.
    I think Uncle Roger admires Josh too. I never see Uncle Roger really go to town on roasting Josh yet because he’s done pretty good so far.
    Keep holding on the ‘Uncle’ title, Joshua. I’m rooting for ya 😁✌️ Hashtag #UncleJoshua

      @@DensilGrant I think he's arguing about Master"Chef" VS Chef. Masterchef is a cooking competition for homecooks (despite the title). The comparable competition for chefs by Gordon Ramsay is the Hells Kitchen, which is intended for Chef.
      Both are not comparable as well, because chefs are not necessarily better than homecooks in terms of cooking. However, they obviously excel in working on a restaurant. Since Joshua is not a chef anymore, he's pretty much a homecook with a knowledge of a chef. But comparing Nick as a masterchef winner and Joshua as a chef is not something you can compare.
      If I have to choose, I still think Joshua has more knowledge than Nick, but who knows.

Putting condiments and sauces from a larger and therefore less expensive per volume vessel into a smaller one for personal use, aka A cheap squirt bottle, is exactly the kind of thing an Asian restaurant not concerned about appearances (and therefore, one might surmise, concerned about other things.. like the food they are serving) would do

      But using a squirt bottle makes sense. I've worked in restaurants AND in the factory that supplies restaurants with cooking oils. These oils come in big 20 litre jugs, you won't find that in any grocery store. We ship almost exclusively to restaurants. Using a squirt bottle is easier to handle than a big jug, and you can be as liberal/conservative as you want with a squirt bottle.
