Can you do a video about herbs? Parsley, thyme, sage, etc? When to use, the flavors they add, tips and tricks?
One thing I did that helped me with this was just tasting them raw, helped me understand the ingredients way better
Could even be a serie, with a few herbs/meals per video ... :D
YES!
This is a GREAT idea!
Fresh Rosemary, my belovèd...
Who else loves to watch Josh’s videos but never make his dishes?
lol I do
Depends on the dish. Most, no, but that's true with most YT chefs. But I get ideas.
Hey I can dream
If you ever make one, I recommend his chicken tortilla soup, it's so good
Speak for yourself, I been making his dishes for years lol
One of my best friends growing up was Chinese, and her ancient grandmother was always in the kitchen making egg rolls by hand...every time I went over, she was always their rolling up dozens of eggrolls. I benefitted from this friendship enormously. And not just from the great food, but we were like souls sisters. Still miss her.
No chance you could find her on FB, Insta, Snap?
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby hope it was good
Where’d she go 🥺
Why do you miss her...did you relocate?😢
I had a friend like that in high school who was Japanese, basically same thing, she would bring snacks to school for me to try, good times 😊😊
I am so glad that Josh is showing us how to make these things at home. It's getting TOO EXPENSIVE to eat out for families, so we are learning to cook everything at home now.
Got too expensive for us 4 years ago during COVID. Been cooking ever since and honestly you can make most dishes at home.
If you aren't careful about your menu selections you'll end up throwing out so much food that you could have just went out to eat and it would have been the same price or cheaper.
@@thomgizzizwho throws out food lol
@@thomgizziz for a new cook it may be like that or feel like that but you'll eventually get better at it. Cooking ain't just the cooking part but also inventory and time management. You can only get good at this if you're the one cooking and grocery shopping every week. It's a bit of a learning curve but until you've developed your methods and standard pantry items you'll always feel this initial chaos and produce more waste than preferred. Yes this is a very adult activity haha, one that's usually handles by the mothers/wives of families.
That’s so true. It’s super-expensive out there. That’s why I’m loving his videos. I’m definitely trying these recipes. I know it’s gonna be good. 😋😋😋👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Of all the over the top things Josh does/has, the pristine clean and shiny baking sheet might be the biggest
I'm so glad Beef & Broccoli was included it is literally my favorite whenever we do chinese takeout!
it seems like the lowest carb "healthiest" option too.
I used to ask for beef and broccoli any time my family got to go out for dinner. My school also had field days twice a year, and my mom would take me out for Chinese on those days (core memories for me)
As a Chinese American, I can say many people, including myself and my family, like the Beef and Broccoli too. Both protein and green in one dish and great flavor combo. 😀
My parents are both from Portugal, so, during my entire childhood, all I ate was what my mom cooked, which she learned from her mom, and so on. Then, at some point, I dated a girl who was taking French classes. She became friends with people from a lot of different countries and every now and then, we were invited to eat at their place, so I had the chance to eat typical homemade food from India, Thailand, Indonesia...
I could never really afford to travel to different places but just trying all this different food made by people from all those different places, it really opened my mind to different flavours!
Also, if you like to cook, you can try to make those dishes yourself but even better, you can choose what you like best from each of these dishes and make your own meal. Some people might feel offended if you change one of their typical meals by mixing in ingredients from a completely different country but I think that, as long as you're not claiming that you're "improving" a traditional meal but you're creating your own, inspired by different cultures and traditions, you're doing nothing wrong.
Also homemade food is always the best too, food that you'd never find at a restaurant. And also, also surprisingly a common dish will uniquely vary from home to home too, which makes it interesting/exciting. I often find people's stir fry is different as its usually made to the cooks personal taste, and this really allows you expand your flavor vocabulary
I ordered your book and you have no idea how much you have encouraged, blessed, and really lifted my spirit! Thank you so much!!!
I hope I’m not the only one to say this. It’s so refreshing seeing this type of video. Josh does amazing creative stuff but a staple recipe video is phenomenal
"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?"
"Get your hand off my p***s". 🤣😂😅😂🤣😅
Get your hand off my penis!!
😂😂😂
Ahhhhh yes. I see you know your judo well.......good one.
"Ladies and gentlemen this is democracy manifest..."
I have immense respect for anything Josh preps/present based on my personal experience with cooking for decades.
Uncle Roger is watching you
😂
he is always watching
And his heart probably broken the moment he sees beef broccoli 😂
he is anti china tho
@@NightcorEDM it’s ok, most oversea Chinese descendants are anti China. It’s well known to Chinese people 😂
15:31
Josh: "Lo Mein! I love Lo Mein"
also Josh: "... I like Lo Mein, but I don't love it."
whaaaaa???
the whole thing was weird, and they kept cutting off the others when they were giving feedback. The point of the episode made no sense as they just presented what they wanted to. they didnt think or reflect on other chinese dishes that might be better. weird episode.
I caught that too and I myself love lo mien and fried rice and everything else except for the egg rolls however I do enjoy spring rolls. I’m sure nobody gives a shit but we gotta join the conversation somehow 😅
Was looking for someone that commented this... 😂 I heard it and had to rewind lol
About as weird as his cookbook
Try Lo Mien using homemade noodles - I make my own. Trust me, you won't buy dried noodles (or 2 minute noodles) again.
I love how Joshua, Uncle Roger and Guga released videos within the same hour
@SteveSherman-ij5gmhot take but pretty factual?!
@SteveSherman-ij5gm Yeah everyone looks up to Guga like he's a world-renowned chef makes me laugh
the culinary avengers. guga isn't really a chef but i'm a huge steak guy and if there's ONE thing guga knows, it's steaks
@SteveSherman-ij5gm uncle roger isn't even funny, more just a twat.
Chef Jean Pierre, Pro Home Cooks, and Brian Lagerstrom are my go-to cooking channels along with Weissman. I watch them while cooking the food.
The other 2 are good entertainment. I watch them while eating the food.
Hey Joshua , I like your way to describe the different tipes of food that you eat and you cook, I can understand almost every word you say so every video is a new food esperiece and a free english lesson where I try to learn many words as possible to try to use them in my videos. I wanted to say thank you so much for the really nice job you are doing, keep going like this. ah subscribed!
I love cooking Asian foods. I was impressed with your ingredient selections especially on your sauces which is critical on Asian cooking! Couldn't help laughing and smiling at your humor. Thank you! Can't wait to actually cook these dishes!
Love the lo mein, but Egg rolls with hot mustard are to die for.
A solid chicken soup.
Cleans the sinuses and warms the heart.
Addictive.
Great with beer.
If you aren't deeply inhaling through you're nose, then that mustard ain't hot enough
I like soy sauce and hot sauce with my egg rolls. I actually use Yellow Bird Habañero, although it is not culturally correct.🤗
Egg rolls and mustard is freaking weird bruh
@@philoctetes_wordsworth It's all good.
Cook a lot for a lot of people.
Never get offended if someone adds stuff or even doesn't like it.
To each their own.
As long as you're happy.
And let me know so next time accommodate you.
@@YatsuraHeadOn consider it boneless hot wings.
But better.
People say the same about putting ketchup on a hot dog.
To each his own.
You missed the greatest secret for the dumplings, to add a little potato starch and baking powder to the filling. It will get juicier if you do that.
Imagine being a kitchen normie and telling a professional how to make something better and be dead wrong about it lmao
@SteveSherman-ij5gm only if you use too much.
it's interesting to me how this is such a vastly different selection to what I would consider classic chinese take-out (I'm german). Cool to think about how different cultures shape the way other cultures' foods are interpreted and consumed
Josh. Please do more but cheaper. Times are hard
Make sure to vote for the right guy in the next election
man, i always love your videos. Killing it, i always want to try these recipes.
Probably some of the best, most well produced food video series I've seen on RUclips.. It was like watching a movie.
Joshua makes it so compelling. You can't help but root for him. 👍👍👍
This chef!!! All the cooking techniques and actually recipes love it all
This is why I go to Chinese RUclips channels for Chinese food.
Hey you watch Tasting History too, cool! Same here. I would rather watch a Chinese cooking channel make Chinese food, heck I’m even subscribed to several channels I like watching them they’re relaxing. If I wanted to make a recipe from another country I would find videos created by RUclips Creators from that country, it would be more authentic because it’s a dish from their country, unless someone (not from the country) learned how to cook the dish from people native to the country.
Yeah...I get that Americanized Chinese food is a thing, but this is a white man being like oh you can make Chinese takeout at home. You could also just make Chinese food at home lol.
?
I'm having a hard time watching it when he's not using sesame oil or rice vinegar...but somehow Korean chiles are ok.
Now we need:
- Chinese Chicken Wings
- BBQ Spare Ribs
- Egg Drop Soup
- Pork Egg-Foo Young
- Sweet n Sour Chicken
Also, Pork Fried Rice is the superior fried rice.
I know why did everyone pick the most basic safe choices, kind of boring honestly
🎉my fave is shrimp & egg fried 🍚 rice,and REALLY dry 😋 garlic pork ribs,bone in!😮
sweet and sour pork is the GOAT and it’s criminally under represented in this video and comment section
My mom got me both of your cook books for Easter! I love your vids and I've already made two of your recipes!
A round of applause for the insane amount of efforts done in this video. Thanks Joshua for this high quality content, i salut you sir!
Nothing beats a succulent Chinese meal
I see you know your judo well
@@Osmocote Gentlemen.. this is democracy manifest
Theae references are why I keep coming back to the internet in spite of all the horrendous shit out there. You're doing it right, folks!
Get your hand off my penis!
Crab Rangoon
really hit the classics here, but I'm begging for a mapo tofu recipe too!
Sooo... I made the beef and broccoli recipe from this video tonight for dinner
Honestly, the best beef and broccoli I've ever had.
Thanks!
Egg rolls are probably my favorite food ever and I've been making them at home for many years. One time, I made homemade egg rolls at a house party, people were drinking and partying hard, I put the egg rolls out, a pyramid of them stacked on a plate , one person tried one and word of mouth spread fast, they were gone very quickly and I got lots of compliments and questions about it. No lie, homemade egg rolls are not comparable to any other egg roll from a restaurant or frozen food isle. It gets so much better. Personally I go heavier on the veggie ratio and use nice little bite cubes of fresh ginger, black pepper, garlic, green onion, mushroom, those flavors play off eachother.
crab rangoon is my fav
Would a trade the potstickers for the crab Rangoon and it would’ve been perfect
I kinda miss the old recipe videos
Definitely going to be trying a few of those recipes. Your book is now on my birthday wish list.
Appreciate all you do Josh your food looks so good I started learning to cook😂
Oh man, just recently started to watch Your videos on 2x speed (You know to save some time - "But faster") and those high-pitched sounds on doubles-speed make my day. 😂
2:08 “i just like to control my product” -Joshua, the Hisenberg of food
I've just made your Eggroll recipe!!! It is so simple and yet so yummy. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. It will become a keeper for my family.
You could never forget your husky friend to share a meal!!!! Love it…foood looks amazing! 😋
Thanks for sharing this recipe 😊👌
Idea for a video. Substitutions! especially for alcohol stuff. How to substitute and what you should be looking for when substituting wine for a steak sauce for example
I have a recovering alcoholic in my family. Wine is usually replaced with grape must, or a sweetened vinaigrette.
Rum is molasses, soy sauce, and water. If I'm making rum cake I add pureed raisins.
When you cook with alcohol it evaporates so you don't have any alcohol, just the taste.
@@reisshepdo people really think they can get drunk by cooked meals with alcohol? Unless they don't want to trigger someone recovering from alcoholism this question is nonsense
Imagine not knowing the alcohol evaporates when cooking....
Yess! This is all my favourite stuff, general tsos, sweet & sour sauce is elite
This is the best video I’ve ever watched … period.
Guga and JW in an hour? Hell yeah
Uncle roger did it as well
Max the meat guy just uploaded a loaded collab as well
So did Chef James Makinson and Chef Brian Tsao!
@@IanGouki my sunday is done for
So many foodtubers, it's an Easter miracle!
I took the WOKKKKKK TO POLANNDDD
Your special effects guy is on point. Lol
Josh has made my husband a happier man! 😂 Finding a chef that speaks to my adhd and gives the perfect details to the questions I didn’t know I had, is just amazing!!! Ah!
I think this is the best, you did every thing right. Perfect take out meal !
This will be my food project for next week, tyvm
Yeah and you didn’t get it done, just like you don’t get anything done.
Joshua, you have outdone yourself! Everything is so delicious just looking at it! Bravo!
My parents briefly owned a Chinese takeout restaurant, and their secret ingredient for General Tso's Chicken was a bit of water chestnut flour in the batter mixture. I think it was also double fried, but it made the batter super crunchy and stay crunchy longer in the sauce than any other restaurant in town.
Kind of enjoyed the format of this episode. More then in the past with similar episodes. Ty, broccoli beef is one of my favorites.
I've always loved General Tso's chicken, fried rice, and egg rolls!
Can I have your IG?
It's interesting on how different chinese menus are from country to country. in germany every chinese restauraunt has the best sweet and sour duck. it is my absolute favourite
I'd love to try that duck dish!
Duck is a very underrated protein, like goat and lamb, in the US.
US has a variety. New York City Chinese is the best to me. It’s mostly dishes that aren’t from china at all. In LA you can get a huge variety of authentic food from all regions of china, but no general tso
It also changes over time. When I was growing up (in Brisbane, Australia) every Chinese restaurant had basically the same dishes like beef & black bean, sweet and sour pork and mongolian lamb. These days, at least where I live, most places serve much more authentic food, the sort you might expect to order in China itself, with only a few dishes as a nod to the more westernised style. Certainly makes ordering interesting when half the time you can't even read the menu. Sadly high blood pressure means I can't do it very often.
In Germany 99 percent of Chinese or "Asian" restaurants - most are operated by Vietnamese families, and hardly distinguish between the particular countries' cuisines - use a modular system. Four kinds of protein, chicken, beef, duck or fish, are added to the same ten to twelve different sauce-vegetable combo. Often, the sauces are industrially pre-fabricated, not made in-house. If you want to enjoy somewhat authentic, hand-made Chinese cuisine you need to look for the few places actual Chinese people go to.
Love your video! just want to share a small tip:when you mix the meat stuff of eggroll or potsticker, you can blend it from one direction, either clockwise or counter clockwise. That will help the meat to block the juice and flavour.
I have also been making egg rolls lately, I have made the original Pork one's, also made Big Mac, Ruben Sandwiches Rolls!! Love Them!
The longest step of all the recipes will be the cleaning
And is the exact reason why so many love to watch, but not do the cooking themselves😉.
I just noticed something. You desperately need a pop filter for your mic man, it really pops HARD right now :D (at least around the 2min mark where I'm currently at)
Yeah thats what i thought too
Thanks Joshua! I am making this for Shabbat, sans pork, after Pesach. Lo Amein is a good swap for the Tehina noodles I have been making.
Everything looks amazing
The best Asian wrap I've ever had was Laotian spring rolls. A co-worker from Laos made them for a potluck and it was astoundingly good. I had to stop myself from stealing the whole dish.
You’re a Twinkie. Yellow on the outside (or maybe closer to a doo color) and white on the inside. Whitest comment ever lol. Stop sucking up to every video, weirdo.
I agree. We use glass noodles, Woodear mushrooms and sometimes shrimp in addition to what’s typically in a Chinese eggroll.
i would change lo me in with egg drop soup i love eggdrop soup - wonton can be delicious, but so many places do a cheap broth with a lot of soup mix , a really though out wonton soup is out of this world😊
I have egg drop soup. I discharge it into the urinal in 4hour intervals.
The beef and broc was soooo good!! I've already made it twice and bought a new wok❤ really simple but flavorful.
There are so many recipes in this video, that I had to download it 😊
I came here to say, “cartouche”. That is all.
Good show, my good man 🧐
His next sentence had to do with "blend all that" and my brain said "except for the cartouche"
As a person from the uk, I believe that we've been doing Chinese takeout as a sit-down meal for years. However I can't speak for other countries
@SteveSherman-ij5gm if I want to be spasific in Shropshire, we call it takeaway, but let's be honest depending on your region of the uk many things have many names. Such as a bap or cob or otherwise
One of the things about making food at home that is so underrated is that you get to pick what goes in the dish, yes at places like chipotle you get to pick what goes in but you dont get to pick what kind of grade or freshness its at. At home you have full control of the quality of the ingredients
Crab cheese puffs!! I’d also add egg drop soup, that was an app we always ordered with a lunch special. The egg rolls can be made with a firm tofu sub for the meat! And I used to use the Soy Vey teriyaki sauce to flavour the filling. Super easy and delicious.
Plum sauce is the most underrated condiment and should always be used for dumplings.
10000%
My Muslim heart crying because I legit thought egg rolls were made with only eggs as the source of protein...
You can use ground chicken or turkey
Did you sin fam
Many places serve with just veggies in them. Where I live, they rarely put meat in it at all.
my old jewish relatives talked about safe treyf just like that lol.
@@beingerik6150 same where I live. There has to be a great distinction between veg and non-veg items so the restaurant will usually make that known
I like all the flavor comments and tones they make it epic when he straight starts singing its legendary what a G
9 millions subscribers! Good job Josh! Great channel!
"I love lo mein!". Tries it, two seconds later, "I like lo mein but I don't love it"
2:04 Joshua became Gustavo for a moment 💀🔥
As someone from the UK I have to say I highly rate the recipes, as well as loving your "British" accent at 6:13 😃
you should do a video on what ingredients to always have on hand or the most used ingredients
The small plastic storage containers holding liquid ingredient measurements is an interesting choice lol
I am so glad that Joshua Weisman teaches us how to make this, so we don’t have to suffer with Chinese takeout
How are you suffering? 😅
Soggy food
the stuff in my area is horrible
So not "we"...You. Most people cannot recreate the Chinese they get at restaurants because our home burners aren't powered by a jet engine.
@@pnourani mine aren’t either XD
i appreciate you doing recipe videos again! i like the other content too but i cant live without a papa recipe video
Love these!! Definitely useful!!
The perfect Easter episode! 🙌
I NEED TO HAVE YOUR COOKING
Thank you Joshua Weissman, for showing & inspiring me to make Chinese takeout!
I made the General Tso’s Chicken and.... while it was excellent the sauce lacked something (maybe honey and or siracha/chili oil) compared to Montreal take out General Tso (what I was hoping to recreate). The gooey texture was spot on for the sauce and the chicken marinated overnight then deep fried was perfection!
I am visiting your channel for the first time. Your video is very beautiful and I support you❤
As a chinese, my best chinese dinner courses are
Crispy oatmeal chicken
Steamed egg
Hotpan tofu
Minced pork french bean
Yum, I can eat this combo for my whole Life
As a German I agree especially on the pork with green beans. Green beans are a staple in European cooking as well but no one does them as good as Chinese. Same with broccoli and egg plant dishes.
@SteveSherman-ij5gm these dishes are on Chinese menus across Asia, just maybe less common in Occidental Chinese takeouts. Cereal/oatmeal chicken sounds weird, but you've gotta try it.
@SteveSherman-ij5gmbecause it’s authentic Chinese food not Americanized Chinese food so obviously you won’t see it on the menu at Panda Express.
Chinese fast food bro
Frankly, I would love to try this.
Happy Easter papa! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐇🐇🐇🐇
My mouth watered the entire video
thanks for including the metric system ❤❤
Well, tea spoons and table spoons are pretty international. It's not necessarily the exact amount in grams or milliliters that make a dish taste good, but the ratio of ingredients. If it's "add one part of this to two parts of that" it does not really matter if the part is based on imperial or metric units.
Velveting is egg whites,corn starch, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, soy sauce. No baking soda. Baking soda is used sometimes to tenderize tough meat before velveting, and then its only 4-5 minutes at the most.
Suck me velvet
Go watch Ziangs food workshop and you’ll see first hand from Chinese chefs that velveting does indeed use baking soda!!
@@arkonite Not a good channel imho, there are much better channels out there for Chinese food and cooking methods. By the way, I learned about velveting from a Chef who immigrated to Los Angeles from China, worked for him for 6 years . Have a good day.
@@user-jp6md2ow3p each to their own 😊
CHINESE TAKE AWAY IS A GOAT🔥🔥🔥
Tired of RUclipsrs saying better than takeout when only referring to Chinese food. Josh was claiming he was getting wok hei. No he was not. You're not getting that smoky wok flavor unless you have a jet engine burner or if you use a blow torch technique that Kenji Lopez taught. Recreating great Chinese at home comparable to a wok master is very difficult.
@@pnouraniLove how you ignored the 86 video playlist of him shitting on pretty much every single western fast food place but got butthurt because he's making chinese food. People really get upset when they see a white person even touch anything that isn't burgers chicken or pizza.
Just from looking at the thumbnail, without watching one second of your video, when I saw the title that "you made the best Chinese takeout meal ever", I thought "Dude, I believe you!". Looks great!
It is missing Crab Rangoon. For sure.
I love it when Joshua posts an actual cooking video instead of clickbait bullshit :3
@SteveSherman-ij5gmYou're welcome to leave.
no one wants you here@SteveSherman-ij5gm
I’ve been watching him since he started, all these “I did this” “I made this” videos aren’t the same. I miss when he actually did videos focused on a real recipe.
Josh at 15:32, "I love lo mein!" Josh at 15:36 "I like lo mein, but I don't love it." This is the content we are here for, love you Josh!
Watching this video was what finally made me cave and start a coveted playlist slot for recipes and ideas 🌮🍔🥩🤤
I love Chinese food
For the egg rolls, add half teaspoon of ground cinnamon
That will take it to another level 🤤🤤🤤
That sounds like way too much. Maybe a quarter tsp at most of five spice could work
Made the beef broccoli and it was *great*
Wasn't able to velvet the beef or coat it in corn starch but i know that'll just make it taste even better
Greaaaat reciper for beef and broccoli
Congrats on 9 million!
Unless I can come pick some up, Mr Weissman, no you did not... you simply made a new dish. Now, serve us that Takeout!!!
