You're the only cooking youtuber who has given me home run recipes time after time. People compliment "my" dishes, and I always have to admit they're actually just yours.
I appreciate him leaving the recipe in the video…I usually pass by the ones that make me run all over to find the recipe. I’ve made several recipes because I have an Asian daughter in law …and frankly everyone loves Asian cuisine….i am definitely going to try the spice blend recipe…I often use furikake so this will be a change
LAY HO LAY HO 👋🏻 I hope you’re keeping well and cooking well! If you’re new to the channel here, be sure to pick up your free ebook that has 5 super easy plantbased recipes to get you started with cooking today - link in the description. Happy cooking 🥳
@yeungmancooking Thanks for the umami power recipe and the rice dish looks fantastic. What brand containers do you use to store seasonings and dry goods?
Same! I incorporate other proteins sometimes because Wil's recipes become that incredible "rabbit hole" that takes you different places and there is no wrong way or no way the end product dish will be wrong.
No kidding! I'm gonna have to up my game. Oh, who am I kidding...I don't have a game. I have lots spices in lots of little baggies in a big Tupperware and I drive myself crazy.
I dehydrate my shiitake to add them later to ramen. I add the stalks in the dehydrator and they are usually too hard to rehydrate easily, so I powder them. I'm going to try the umami powder. What a great idea!❤
I love how you demystify the recipe and make them very accessible , and I love love love the idea of making the umami spice powder I find as a I am diabetic a lot of prepared spice mixes have unpronounceable ingredients and often a lot of sugar plus fillers , I’ve been substituted to you channel since it began but never had the courage to write a comment , mr yeung you do a very good job of explaining everything and I am enormously grateful to you ,wishing you all good things . ❤
This is one of those videos and recipes that can just multiply into many different other recipes. It's like a Swiss-knife for cooking many other dishes!
And again my expectations were exceeded. What a wonderful recipe. And all my favorite ingredients! The umami powder is a fantastic idea. I can't wait to make this amazing dish. Thank you very much! 🤗
You know what? My sister followed you, then I'm following you. And this is where the only reason why I'm following you, not the other RUclipsrs, is because you are a literal beast in ASMR, man. You are putting a very small ASMR that makes me feel elegant, delicious, and you know what? I can watch your videos 50 times a day as well. Because that much, that much good, that much peaceful you are creating. Thank you so much for your support, and please don't give up. Do many dishes as you can to make me and all our friends spice up with these amazing dishes of vegan.
Hi Wil this is unrelated to this video but I just spoke to the Unscented Company for a product I could no longer get and they asked me where I heard about the products and I told them that you recommended them from one of your videos. I love the products so much, thank you for recommending them.
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING Hi Wil, I remember you mentioning that you use The Unscented dish soap and other products from their line. I recently started using the entire range and absolutely love it! I had never heard of this brand until you introduced it to me. The product that I could no longer get was the cloths brightener, and when she asked how I found out about this brand, I told her it was you from Yeung Man Cooking. Let’s hope they give you a well-deserved shout-out!
Looks good! I'd saute the mushrooms before the other veggies, and let them get nice and dark brown, with most of the water cooked off. This intensifies the flavor and texture of the mushrooms!
I made this tonight. I used pre-mixed umamai powder and I didn't have chili oil. (I added crushed chilis to the oil instead step(s) where chili oil was called for) But otherwise faithful to this recipe. It is sooooo delicious and easy.thank you!
I love your channel, im so grateful for it. I am a vegan gluten free due to intolernaces and I can eat all the dishes I have seen you make! It is a life saver. With you I can learn one of the most crucial parts of cooking, the spices. My cooking has improved a lot since I started using them, specially the seaweed and mushroom also. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!! And for free❤❤
Very healty and delicious food. I liked the Umami Powder very much. Thank you for these wonderful recipes and such a soothing channel. The Vitamix looks top of the line. Best blender out there. I will probably buy one.
I love my Vitamix. I've had mine for over 23 years. At one point I was going to get another one when they came out with the larger container but all I had to do was buy the container. Vitamix is the BEST!!!!!!! And you are the best even if I'm not a vegetarian
Happy Sunday! Great title for the recipe. Looks delicious! Is that a new knife? Beautiful serving plate! I love my Vitamix! I purchased your nut milk bag and it makes a world of difference in the smoothness and taste of my sprouted almond milk! Have a wonderful day! ❤
Lei ho ma! Genuinely happy that you are now being sponsored and having so much success. I started watching you during your "early" days and your recipes have so far never failed and I have tried a lot of your recipes keeping in mind I hate cooking and am a super lazy cook! Thank you so much for pursuing your passion!
The umami seasoning recipe looks sensational, it contains all the flavours I love and like the chilli oil recipe will come in so handy for a quick bowl of noodles! Another winner from this channel.
I consider myself a pretty creative cook but I would have never considered making my own umami powder!Now I’m thinking of all the ways I could use the Umami seasoning. Thanks Will for all your wonderful recipes and inspiration. I’ve tried several of your recipes and never have been disappointed. Can’t wait to try this one!
I am so glad I found you! I am so excited to make the Umami seasoning, Thank you so much, I'm hoping to make my little Grandson sooooo happy, he is only 14 months but loved a spicy musroom lasagne dish I made ( I did leave the chilli out) he makes excited very happy noises when he really loves his food and I just love him and those little noises, I will let you know how it goes ❤😊
Thank you, once again, for presenting us with another del8cious and vibran5 soup! I am going to go back with and learn how to make the umami dried powder.
I love how balanced your recipes are and this looks amazing! Thank you for inspiring me to keep things interesting in the kitchen. I'm cooking this for dinner today!
Can't think of a single episode I haven't enjoyed! Will, you're amazing! Love your chanel and ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FOOD! So simple and to the point.........and DELICIOUS! Thanks again!
Another wonderful episode. I am learning so much from you Wil! So interesting this recipe calls for 1c rice and just 1c water. Usually the ratio is 2:1.
❤as always. I often use Trader Joe’s Umami powder which seems similar to yours, but now I have a way to make my own. Thank you!!! Also congratulations on Vitamix partnership . I bought mine finally a few years ago and can’t figure out how I survived before I owned one. They are the best, hands down!
Another great recipe! I love it! Just one small suggestion. I follow another cooking channel where the ingredients are listed on the screen on the side. It's very helpful.
I really like the way you cook the rice in different level so healthy & irresistible. Such a noble cook you are with fine personality in terms of using all the cooking ingredients. Thank you for sharing. I diffinetely given a try this delicious recipe of yours. If only the people around the "World" really know what their eating surely the World will be in better shape. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺 Take care we need a fabulous Chief like you."
I tried out the umami powder today and it turned out beyond amazing!! Now on to making the rice dish. I also made the kombu salad so wondering what to make to eat with it and this is what I came up with. Wish I could post photos here to show how beautiful it all looks 😅
>popcorn Shiitakes / donggu can cause dermatitis if eaten raw, so I guess you can add it to the cooking oil before the kernels pop but probably not after the kernels are already popped. ... Then again I'm not sure if this applies to dried donggu, and I guess you could also just toast the dried mushrooms in the oven or something before adding them to the mix...
Can't wait to try this whole recipe, but especially the Umami Seasoning. Sounds fabulous. I've owned a Vitamixer for about 20 years and have used it almost every single day to make my green protein shake for breakfast. I swear by Vitamix as the best mixer out there.
Greetings from Indonesia. I like your video because you explain everything very clear and succint, easily understood by people like me, that is English is our 2nd language. I like the umami recipe and share it with my friend already. I am a Muslim, so your vegan recipes are wonderful opportunity for me to try them. Hope I can buy your books in Indonesia. Keep up the good works Sir.
That looks so delicious. Too bad I’m allergic to soy. I’m going to need to learn how to make chickpea miso and chickpea sauce. That umami powder will definitely come in handy.
Easy to prepare, very tasty and vegan! This brought me to your channel and I look forward to every new recipe you bring. Not to mention the beautiful way your cooking is filmed and presented. The umami seasoning mix is a nice addition to a lot of dishes (I would leave out the kombu cos I don't like the taste and smell of seaweed, but that's just me)
So much to unpack with this recipe, which looks fantastic! Another keeper! The umami powder sounds amazing & you have just reminded me to dry my shitakes. 👍🏻💖
Wil, I love that you've shared ANOTHER flavor-packed seasoning! I often use a fine grater to add dried shitakes when I forget to soak them! Can't wait to make this one! =]

The recipes and your execution marry to create your success!

Can I substitute Urfa chilli for gogugariu in umami powder ?
We don't need books, we have you, which is much better😉😘
Your channel is one of the best cooking channels on You Tube.

My go-to channel for healthy, yet delicious, vegan recipes when I am stuck in a culinary rut. Always appreciate the creativity and yumminess.
Awesome recipes.
And his voice makes every word sound like a romance with cooking.
I can see that the umami powder is going to become a staple, just like the chilli oil has! Great recipe there, Wil. I'll look forward to trying it.
I make chili oil every 4wks
This is one of those videos and recipes that can just multiply into many different other recipes. It's like a Swiss-knife for cooking many other dishes!
i love Wil's spice cabinet!!! DREAM KITCHEN FOR REAL.
My jaw dropped when he opened that cabinet. Wow!
@jeffpowanda8821 Every time I see it, I want to ask which containers he's using! I'm trying to better organize my kitchen to be half as immaculate 😊
Thanks for this recipe and the Umami powder recipe as well.
🙌🏻 My pleasure
I like how you really incorporate your sponsors to the meal you are making
