    Man... you know some time back in history, someone was REALLY hungry when they remembered they had forgotten they left tofu out, came back to find it completely covered in hairy mold, and really said "... if I remove the hair and fry it, it should be safe to eat, right?"

      @@portobeIIa how about you hear me out before deciding if my take is so wild. (long post below, sorry)
      who do you think makes these types of videos and why? do you think these channels are run by individuals? there is professional style, lighting, camera work, and sets. heck, the scenes sometimes look like they been blocked out to get the most pleasing shot. to me, the videos have a similar visual style as chinese dramas and they certainly arent a one-person team. they are unconvincingly idealistic. this is very different than the korean cooking videos for the most part because, despite those videos also being high quality and calming, they are very obviously make by one person or a small team.
      there are dozens of extremely popular channels exactly like this and they pop out of nowhere with high production levels. some of them are clearly made in china (or at the least, are meant to resemble china), the first example that comes to mind is liziqi, who makes videos about living in the chinese countryside in the same "relaxing" style. only one problem, youtube is blocked in china. so how are these chinese citizens getting access to youtube and openly posting on a youtube channel? clearly theres something strange going on.
      china is working really hard on their image and reinvigorating chinese pride and culture. not to mention, theyve been desperately trying to get more tourism. i think this accomplishes both and also cultivates an audience that they can use in the future. ill send you an article about this topic in a separate comment, but it might get deleted because youtube doesnt like links. heres a quote from the article:
      "Their content is produced with the help of special influencer-management agencies known as multichannel networks (MCNs) that run their accounts and funnel a cut of the ad revenue back to them. Unlike MCNs elsewhere, those in China are enmeshed with the Chinese Communist Party, in the same way that most other significant businesses in the country are. Some MCNs have internal party committees. All MCNs are required by Chinese law to ensure that their talent adheres to the values of the party and promotes its agenda."

      Also, any mushroom is a fungus just like this mold. Without mold, we’d probably all be dead because of the medical benefits. Mold, fungi, mushroom, mycelium, it’s all part of one thing and it’s beautiful. Most all mold/fungi is harmless. But the ones that aren’t, are incredibly dangerous. That’s why people are wary. If you learn how to identify fungi, you’ll fare well and eat even better. Always double check an ID though, especially when it is a mimic of a deadly fungi

    2:40 - Is she using pickled cabbage/mustard brine as a tofu coagulant?
    That's really interesting. I've never seen a method like that. I imagine it also makes the pH more favorable for mold growth, so that the tofu itself ferments properly.

    I know that maybe a lot of people foreign to Asian cuisines might find it unappetising, but it is really good. They sell fermented tofu at Chinese supermarkets and it is really good as a condiment for hotpot, or just for flavouring and marinating meat before cooking. I’m unsure if it is exactly the same thing as the ones in the video but it is similar.

    There's something about traditional asian food made with wooden implements that you just can't get out here in the west. So calming the way wooden tools sound when cooking. I've even started using wood in my own kitchen (but sealing it properly first)

    • @Orynae
      @Orynae Год назад +29

      There are channels with historical western cooking too, for example Townsends. Depending on what period they're covering, they often use wooden implements -- at _least_ wooden spoons and whisks. I think you have to go a bit farther back in time to find that in the west, though, I'm not sure.
      And traditional dishes from the west (especially France) have been so enshrined into fancy "cuisine" in the collective consciousness that it's harder for us to see it as romantic and calming. For example, I forget where it was, but I saw a video on the making of traditional Italian mozzarella-type cheeses. It was remarkably similar to how she made tofu here, actually, except it started with milk and cheese curds instead of soybeans. But with cheese there's so much drama like, oh, if you don't follow the exact steps dictated by tradition, or you don't call the final product the exact right name according to its size and shape and age, you'll be Wrong.
      Edit: I just realized how long my comment is, so I'd like to say, I hope you don't take this as a criticism or anything, it's just very interesting to think about these things!

    As someone who only eats unfermented cheeses, doesn't drink alcohol, has a penicillin allergy and lactose intolerance, and is from a culture where fermentation really isn't a thing, this was challenging to wrap my head around. I'm normally repulsed by anything slightly moldy, so this challenged my whole definition of edible. The closest I've ever gotten is eating button mushrooms, but even those I fry into oblivion.
    However, the meals created at the end looked delicious, and I have the utmost respect for the hard work and history that goes into this tofu. While I don't think I'd ever try the moldy tofy as is or with just the chilli seasoning, I would definitely try the version that was fried in the hot oil. Seeing it cooked puts my mind more at ease, and I'm sure the texture and taste would be very interesting.

    Brooo I love tofu, even if I was raised to be very picky with food I am just obsessed with tofu. I don’t get to eat it often though, only in miso soups :( I never knew there was more than one type though, so this is very interesting.

      You should definitely look around for different types of tofu and tofu dishes! There's so many ways it can be prepared and enjoyed. Deep fried tofu is great in soups because you can tear it open and hollow/spongy inside will soak up soup for the perfect bite. I also like pan fried firm tofu, you just fry it until you get a golden crust and then it can be as simple as adding some soy sauce or you can get a bit more adventurous with also adding sesame oil, black vinegar, chili crisp, or whatever else you might enjoy. You can use silken tofu instead and not pan fry it, so it's really light and refreshing and perfect for a hot day. There's so many tofu dishes because of all the cultures that use it, and with all the variety I'm sure you'll find a bunch that you'll love
