Welcome to fine dining on a budget. Today we are deboujifying the lobster roll and seafood risotto. #lobsterrolls #scallops #risotto #seafood #cooking #recipe
it's just pollock soaked in crab stock(water leftover from boiling crabshells), nothing weird or gross pollock is a whitefish, they make fish sticks out of it
I literally just made the lobster rolls for my wife and I. You seriously underestimated just how good they would be! We were REELING. Good stuff. Adding this to my regular dinner rotation. Thanks!

@@der_werner the fact that his content pops up on the algorithm first, means it’s unique content he created. You don’t know what you’re talking about, keep your energy to yourself if you’ve got nothing but negativity energy to spread. Your just a hater man, grow up
@Saya_562 Can confirm. King oyster mushrooms are fantastic. Cheaper than scallops but still on the 'special' side of the grocery cart in terms of mushrooms.:)
This is some of the nicest cooking content I've seen on here. Nothing crude or over-the-top, nothing crazy or overdone, just cooking. And helpful cooking, too.
This is how RUclips chefs started. Before they all began spastically slapping their ingredients, smash cutting every 0.25 seconds, throwing knives around and deep frying 1000 foil potatoes in pure duck fat.
Hey, if my BF ever cooked like this for a date, he’s 100% a keeper. Not only does this take effort but it would be kinda cute ngl. Like he wants to make things fancy for the date but doesn’t have the money so goes all out on effort and creativity. 100% respectable and would make the date far more memorable than just a typical date at some restaurant. I’d love him for this.
@sxra1ya662 idk what the other person means by an "incelme account" weird lingo. And sorry i thought the comment read their partner did what they are describing as opposed to a hypothetical. But i also wouldnt eat imitation crab; therefore, i wouldnt serve it either. To each their own
I had risotto once a long time ago and didn't really like it. Then my friend made some at the cottage, but he kinda underdid it. He's a professional chef but he was making 5 dishes at once for like 14 people, so I won't flame him too hard. And other than crunchy rice, it was great. So I tried to make some about a month ago with chicken stock and had it with boneless fried chicken thighs. Risotto is actually nuts good when you give it enough love and really focus on it. Plus, being basically rice and stock, it's cheap as hell. I've made it like 9 times since 😂
@@LastKnight0727 It's not really that easy to mess up, any more than any other rice dish. You literally just boil rice until it's done. That's it. The only way to ruin it is to either burn it or try to make it with normal rice.
@@8xottox8 You have clearly never made actual risotto then. Actual risotto, made to order, is not boiled, it is cooked in a pan, with ladles of stock at a time on a lower heat, to allow the rice to absorb the liquid and become a thick, creamy texture.
@@8xottox8 nope. You can easily ruin it by overcooking the rice. thats how you get risotto that is like porridge, or extremely hard rice because you undercooked it. You can also ruin it by dicing the onion too roughly. risotto is the one of the only dishes that dicing onions super fine actually does something. No grating will not work because it gives you a different texture. since risotto is also a dish that relies on stock, your stock making skills will also need to show, bad stock = bad risotto.
I honestly have been doing my budgeting wrong in terms of doing groceries and these simple and helpful steps can allow me to go crazy into inventing, new different kinds of dishes! Your advice is very sound and please, it is our sincere request for you to continue on with this because it is truly an educational experience! on behalf of all the viewers and those were subscribed to your channel, we thank you for giving us the education that we never knew that we needed but is also helpful to us financial wise!
Something relatively cheap, tasty, and easy to make is chopped cheese. Recipe is everywhere, but my wife hates bread, so we use a tortilla and make it into a cheeseburger wrap! It uses ground beef, but can be almost any ground meat or soya (textured vegetable protein), and since you chop up the meat after crisping it up, the surface area is bigger without actually using up too much meat. It satisfies your fatty, burger cravings while being relatively cheap and healthier than if you got a burger (assuming you load up more on the veggie side and less on the meat and sauces). You can also sautee up some onions and mushrooms in the meat fat too to add more veggies and flavor.
@@DustyOrange also just adding a little bit of Cajun, paprika and coriander while the meat is cooking can bring up some wild flavors! Thank you so much for replying back, it means a lot, and I’m looking forward to many of your creations in the near future while on budget!
Yo these are pretty interesting. Even if you're not broke its a good way to show that something doesn't have to be expensive to look good and taste good
When I was young if we're broke only rice with salt and warm water is our meal... But these experiences makes me grateful everyday for what we have today❤️
Ngl, Im the type of woman who is WAY WAY WAY more impressed by a meal like this than the most expensive fancy restaurant. Ive had both and lemme tell you, know my man has skill makes me *moist* 😂
Very lucky living in the scottish isles with my skipper boyfriend. He fishes crab and lobster and brings me some home for tea whenever i fancy. Get amazing fresh high quality shellfish for free aaa i love him sm
@@slicedtoad yeah like the paste that looked disgusting? Yeah, that's what you'll have to deal with if you want to make your own fish cakes. Just part of the process. Heck if I bring over a lorry full of unshaped burger patties it would look disgusting as well.
Very resourceful. I used to make those imatation crab with a can of cheddar cheese soup and put it over rice. My family loved it. I couldn't stand it because im a seafood snob sinceci eorked in a fish market in New England before having a family.😉
Btw, canned crab is another budget friendly option. If you want the firm texture, go imitation, but I really like the flavor of canned. My crab cakes get rave reviews and people think they are lump meat. Also, risotto is a show-off dish, even made with just garlic and chicken broth and store brand shredded parm, if you can make a nice risotto, don’t feel obligated to add star ingredients! I also make quinoa that way, takes forever but makes the quinoa actually taste good.
I love human ingenuity! One bright spot of tough economic times is all the mock dishes that people create. I can’t believe we’re having to revive cheap eats like my parents endured in the 70s, and my grandparents suffered in the 30s. I guess we’ll have stories for future generations.
@@SauccEats yea so I woulda shred the imitation crab meat and used mayo then refrigerate it the hot toasted bun and the cold meat is what compliments eachother
Just made the risotto for my mom and said it was one of the best things I made. :D Rice was a little under cooked but the mush- I mean scallops were great! (Tip: For the brown hat of the mushroom, make cuts to the top like the scallops and brown the top to make like a mimic steak)
I'm so glad someone else does this AND posted it! I don't make content but I surely make this and call it "Poorman's Lobster Roll" It's absolutely delicious! 😋
I love how he had minimal use of each ingredient too like he didn't baste the mushroom scallops with like an entire half a cup of butter only what was needed and necessary and I just love that-
I just love this, it looks amazing, probably tastes good, but hey, it's the heart that really counts. All 3 combined make it even better than a "real fancy dinner" at an "upscale establishment"
I work for an american subsidiary of the largest imitation crab distributor in Japan. Man, do we care about our product and I swear it is because of our parent company. I hear all the time we make the best imitation crab compared to other brands who are based in the US. I love working somewhere that cares about it's product. We handle fish all day, and it hardly smells like fish at all on the production floor. The benefits are really good too. It may be factory work, but we've got so many employees who have been here for 5 or more years. That's saying something for factory work.
When I was young, my mom used to cut up that fake crab into bits and put it over spaghetti with alfredo sauce. It was actually pretty damn good.
That sounds so good
nothin beats mom's cooking
it's just pollock soaked in crab stock(water leftover from boiling crabshells), nothing weird or gross
pollock is a whitefish, they make fish sticks out of it
@@user-hi3mo8qk9p I never meant to imply I thought it was. I ate that stuff for lunch in school all the time because I loved it.
I don't wanna hate but that sounds gnarly. Nothing but respect to your mother making things work tho

Replacing scallops with mushrooms is visually astounding and probably still tastes pretty good
its so damn good
@Saya_562 Can confirm. King oyster mushrooms are fantastic. Cheaper than scallops but still on the 'special' side of the grocery cart in terms of mushrooms.:)
That looks like vegetarian scallop replacements for us veggies!
@gokuxsephiroth4505 yes and it tastes great too cos mushrooms are so flavorful!

You are no longer allergic to shellfish
Imitation crab actually has crab in it. Not a lot but some. So be careful if you eat it!

if you want to lose your hair
@@RedHunterOfficialbro what 💀 one ramen pack is not gonna give you a fucking receding hairline
@@RedHunterOfficial what the wheat or what?
@@TORQ111 oh wow thanks, good observation.
Fish stock is cheap. You don't need to buy ramen for the stock unless you want the noodles as part of the dish.

this REALLY is fine dining on a budget…awesome
i KNEW i saw crab on the package
dude just gaslighted me into thinking it was fake lobster
I've had imitation lobster (made of pollock) that cheaply satisified a craving. I'd use it in this.
wdym homie that is fresh lobster my guy 😭

I did the same when I was a kid. I would have rice, then add a little butter and salt. I remember thinking it was pretty good.
I can't lie... this looks absolutely bangin my boy
I just did it, delicious as all hell
The sandwich slapped! Can’t wait to make the risotto next week!
"Saute some diced onions and-"

Ho it's one time for my villains
Lately nothing makes sense, 'cept for being with you
you just blew my mind making that split bun from a normal hot dog bun
second dish would actually make a killer vegan meal if you used a kombu + shitake to make a soup stock

Id pay $3 for a good imitation crab roll
I've been wanting to make mushroom scallops for years now but was waiting for a good recipe that I'd like with it. This works!
Imitation crab gets a bad rap; I could eat it all day.
I know, personally I love the stuff It's one of the closest things to shellfish I can eat without having a problem.
Maybe don't search how it's made...
@@Renvaar1989 We know how it's make. Same as hotdogs and sausage. Don't care, still delicious.

One of the quickest times I've ever clicked sub
All things aside, the king oyster mushrooms as scallops is an amazing idea and they look ridiculously good
