When simmering the stock, if you put the pot only half on the burner, a clear area will appear over the heated half where the foam will collect.
Do you have a recipe for Benihana egg yolk sauce ??
I have searched the internet for 4 years now after having clear soup served to me as a kid back in the 2000s at a Sakura's steakhouse. Only now, when randomly looking through my RUclips feed does this video FINALLY grace me with its presence.
Ditto!!!!
Another tip is that most soybean oil, at least here in the United States, isn't sold strictly as Soybean oil, it's usually sold as "Vegetable Oil," but when you look at the ingredients on the container the only ingredient is Soybean Oil.
Thank you so much
I couldn’t find soybean oil at Walmart when I went, turns out, it’s just labeled “vegetable oil”. Checked the ingredients: 100% Soybean oil. Hope that helps!
I used coconut oil. Better for you.
@@None-tc2pfwell it tastes like coconut….
@@oscarthagrouchit doesn’t. I wish it did.
@carissab397 get the extra virgin unrefined coconut oil. That one taste and smells like coconut
DUDE This is the closest taste I've ever gotten to soup right from the restaurant!!! Thank you so much!!! Will always make it like this from now on :D
Man, I'm elated to hear that! Thank you so much for the kind words!
This is what I needed to see!! Tysm for this comment !
Need MSG
which version did you use?
@@madamicequeen I did the Campbell's soup version!
In benihana reyadh saudi Arabia, we use beef scrap, celery, onions, carrot, garlic for soup stock, first we bake the beef and garlic until turn to brown, then combine all the ingredients to a big casserole with full water, then add salt and corn pepper, then cook it for about 8 to 9 hours, then strain the stock to other big casserole and this is the final product.
Y’all still do the original recipe. That’s the way Benihana used to do it. I think they changed after the corporate buyout. Good to know some places still do it the right way!
Made the grocery store version: AMAZING!!! Thank you so much! My mom is having a procedure tomorrow and can only have jello and broth and she loved this so much!
That is wonderful, Jessica! I'm really happy your mom loved the soup! Your comment totally made my day!! I hope your mother is alright! Send her my regards!
@@farmageddon I’m so happy to hear that! And yes it was just a colonoscopy and it went great! Totally clean bill of health! Thank you!
I'm from Alabama, and we have a place called Kobe Japanese steakhouse. They are famous primarily for the heavenly clear onion soup they serve only during dinner at the Hibachi tables. I'm so glad I can make it now.
From Alabama as well, if you have the chance to try a restaurant called shogun do yourself a favor!
I love how you show the exact brands they use to make their broth because that's truly the key. I have been making the same egg drop soup as a local Chinese restaurant for years. One time they let me in the kitchen to read a label when I asked questions about an allergen in their food. In seconds I looked around and saw every brand of everything they used out in the open and the chef using a certain brand of Chinese canned chicken broth to make the soup. So I started buying the same brand at an Asian market. I also took the time to read everything's ingredients at the market so I'd always know what brands I could use or restaurants could use in my food.
Is your name karen
What brand of chicken broth do they use?
Here for the brand plug please
Is there any chance you can share the brand they use for canned chicken broth? Thanks.
Why don't you be as nice as jason and tell us the name brands...
I used to work in a Japanese steakhouse called Tokyos in OK. They boiled the scraps from cutting meat and veggies for days. Bones from prime rib and chickens. You could tell when they weren't selling enough meat because they'd have to supplement it with canned broth. That pot sat on a burner for days.
Yeah, BH used to make their soup like that, as well. They were bought out by a corporation about 7-8 years ago and now they make it with the soup base!
Definitely thanks for that inside knowledge!
Thank you so much for this Jason. I learned so much from you, not only about the soup, but about the difference between stock vs. Consomme and extracting the flavor from the vegetables. Wow! Thanks again!!
I have made this recipe at least 15 times over the last few months- different variations here and there, but always turns out spot on and so tasty. Thank you! This is my favorite soup.
your techniques are fantastic, i've learned so much, never thought i'd be amazed by an onion soup recipe
Just discovered your channel. I'm glad I did! Your channel is not the typical recipe and cook channel but you really explain why you do things a certain way or why certain ingredients are used. It's like an educational cooking channel.
Thank you, Jomar! That's exactly what I'm trying to do! I wanted to add a bit more of the thought process behind recipes instead of just doing a 'how-to' video! I really appreciate your comment! Totally made my day!! :)
Perfection!! Bought the Haco products and they really make the difference.
This is GREAT! Didn't want to buy the haco brand stuff and wait for it, so I went with the second method and its exactly as advertised. Really easy to follow, concise and simple instructions. Thanks for the great recipe, definitely going to keep checking out your videos.
I’m so thankful to have these recipes. ❤
Hi, Grammy! I'm really happy you like the recipes!! :)
this is awesome! it made me realize why my pho broth I've been making at home was so off too lol, I kept trying to find answers on google about vegetable and spice extraction time for broth and nothing good was ever coming up 😭
Hello!! Thank you so much! If you're interested in the concept of peak extraction times, I go over it in a bit more depth in the ramen video (the 'making world class ramen with Walmart ingredients). It's a very interesting concept! I hope it helps you out on your pho journey! I'll be doing a pho video in the future! Not sure when, though! Thanks again for watching!!
These are really great videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you, Pamela! I really appreciate your kind words!
How do you keep producing such perfect&great tasting recipes...
Thanks a lot, you are making my table a wonderful place!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you're enjoying the recipes!!
Excited to try this. Thank you! ✌💜💜💜
You are 100% correct on the recipes found on line that claim to be the exact recipe. Have tried several and nothing comes close. Looking forward to your expertise. Cannot thank you enough, especially with flu season and in the middle of this pandemic. You are a blessing. Thank you so, so, much. Liked and shared!
Thank you, Victor! I really appreciate your kind words!
Let me know if you decide to make the soup! I would love to hear how it turns out!!
Did you ever make it? How did it turn out?
@@kirktown2046 i just made this and holy shit, do not make it when youre hungry because it smells like heaven in a broth. I cannot recommend this enough im using as a side dish and im pretty sure its going to be gone before anything else😩🤒
@@noahbaldridge1935 Did you use the Safflower oil?
@@christopherbubeck5901 i only had olive oil on hand and it was still really good. I will say i subbed out some salt for MSG and that made a massive difference. I also didnt have the exact stock brands but if you follow the measurements it still turns out great!
So glad you made this video. I looked at all of the recipes online and I just KNEW they were wrong.
This video just randomly popped up. How did RUclips know I love this soup and would be willing to try at home? Omg yes!!
I just made the grocery store version and OMG, it tasted just like the restaurant! I’ll definitely make it again, thank you!
dude i can't believe i just found you. I consider myself to be a good cook, but your vids really opened my mind up. can't wait to try this one
Can’t wait to get the base delivered so I can try this! Looking forward to what you do next
Tatiana! I was really surprised at how good HACO stock bases are! I typically make homemade stocks and broths, but it was easily the best premade version I've ever used before. Plus, they don't need to be refrigerated and they basically last forever!
Thanks again for the kind words! I really appreciate you!
New fan here! I’ve watched several of your vids and they very detailed and super easy to follow. Your voice is soothing and relaxing. Thanks 😊
Thank you so much!! I sincerely appreciate your support!
Such a great video! Did the grocery store one! Loved it! But I'll be ordering the right ingredients so I can get it right!! Thank you!
Awesome!! Thank you so much for the kind words!! I really appreciate you!
This recipe is spot on. The taste is just right!! I highly recommend it. Next time I make it, I will start with 1 tsp of salt in the simmering broth, instead of 2. You can always add more. Just wow.
My son and I LOVE this soup! Thank you! I've made your Benihana Chicken Fried Rice - the right way - several times and my guests are in Heaven.
Sheri! Your comment really made my day! I love hearing when people enjoy the recipes! Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Thank goodness I found your video! I am obsessed with this soup and always order more than one bowl (it gets pricey)! I made another recipe before and it was horrible. This is so close if not the same version as the Japanese restaurants. I’m also very happy to know they don’t actually use bones (new cook here) and the veggies are so easy to make this soup! A million times thank you for taking your time to share this informative content!
You're very welcome! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
I love Benihana's soup *SO* much and have tried numerous recipes online but could never get it right. I'm so glad I found your videos! I just ordered the bases and can't wait to try it out. I'll be using your recipes for the sauces (mustard and ginger), garlic butter, and ginger salad dressing to level up my home cooking. Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words! Your comment totally made my day!!
How it turn out?
Could you use ‘Better than Bullion” paste?
Your videos are excellent and super easy to watch.
Hey, thanks a lot!! I love your name! I’m a big Seinfeld fan!!
This soup is so simple and beautiful
My son is a picky eater but he loves this soup and so do I! I’m going to definitely try this recipe out thank you so much!!!
Awesome!! I hope you and your son enjoy the soup!! :)
I want to thank you so much for this recipe!!! I’ve been trying (and not succeeding) to make this soup using other recipes for a few years now!!! This video got recommended to me a month ago and I’m on my third attempt at making this. It really does taste incredibly similar with the grocery store ingredients.
I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe! :)
Great videos !!
Oh man thanks! This is perfect for me when I'm at work and need something to warm me up! I didn't even know it was this easy to make
:) You're very welcome! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!!
I promised myself I'd come back and Like the video if it was good. Holy hell it's super close to the restaurant's soup. I did the store variant and it was a quick amd easy dish to make. Very happy with the outcome. Definitely try out this recipe!!!
Thank you, Alex!! I'm really happy you enjoyed the soup!!
Hey! When you do the store variant, are you using the whole cans or did I miss the measurement breakdown? Thanks!
@@Jolly_Chief I can never find the condensed chicken stock so I add regular chicken stock and a little bit of chicken boullion, but for the condensed beef stock I use the whole can.
This is awesome. My wife loves this soup. I can't wait to make it for her.
You are truly a miracle worker.
Woah these look great! 😍😋 I can just imagine how flavorful these must be 🤤
Thanks, Maikoh! I’ve been learning some cinematography from your videos! I’m trying to incorporate some of the shots I’ve seen in my videos!
@@farmageddon haha that’s awesome!! Your videos are already beautiful, but I did notice those smooooth ingredient closeups! 🙌🙌
Best cooking channel on RUclips.
happy birthday to this video lol can’t wait to taste this recipe
Hey, thanks a lot! I didn't even realize it was the birthday!! :)
This video is awesome! Thank you so very much :)
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words!!
Thanks, @Jason! I was just speaking with my mom and girlfriend about the great mushroom soup Japanese restaurants tend to have. We will making this tonight! Great clear video. You’ve got a new subscriber. :D
Thank you!! Please tell them I say hello! And I hope y'all enjoy the soup!!
You saved my life. Thank you! Now I can make this for my toddler. 🥳
You are an amazing mother! I hope y'all enjoy the soup! :)
@@farmageddon Awww thank you! ☺️
Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. I had the soup for the first time this week at Benihana (1st visit for daughter’s birthday) and my whole family enjoyed it! I was trying my best to figure out the ingredients so I could attempt to make it at home. I identified the French fried onion at the bottom of the soup. But now know the secret base that I need to order. I will try the store version with the beef consommé & chicken broth that you introduced. Will try both recipe versions, cross my fingers that it will replicate what I tasted at the restaurant! 😊finger crossed 🤞🏽!
L
And FYI, in the USA soybean oil is generally called vegetable oil, even though it's just 100% soybean oil. You don't need to go to a fancy Asian place, every store has "vegetable oil".
This was very interesting, even though I live no where near a Benihana restaurant.The consomme base seems like a wonderful thing to have at home all the time. I love making Asian food, and this would really improve many soups and sauces. Thanks for sharing this. (I subscribed, too!)
Dannnnng, you got some of the insider tips at Benihana?! Kickin it with Rocky, huh?! :) Can't wait to try or should I said, can't wait to have Dan make it for me!
God. Bless your soul for fulfilling my dreams to make homemade versions of food you could only buy from restaurants. I wish to be able to know several recipes by the time I move out after college so I don’t have to worry about eating unfulfilling food. Again, THANK YOU!!
Thank you, ZeMoi! I'm really glad to be of service! I've got a bunch more videos in the works and I'll be publishing them regularly within the next few weeks! Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate you!
So glad you substitute for ingredients that are easier to find when you don't live near an international food market.
I come from a very small town so have to make due with whatever my two big supermarkets carry. 😅
This is one of my all time favorite dishes and I'm glad I can make it at home now instead of driving hours to the nearest hibachi restaurant.
My pleasure! I hope you enjoy the soup!
Soybean oil is available a every store that sales cooking oil. Its also known as Vegetable Oil. Thank you for the recipe. Will be trying it tonight.
My go to lazy meal is trader joes chicken fried rice with a heap of garlic butter. I make it the exact same way but also like to add a squeeze of lemon to it. It’s so good!!!
I love this soup. Thank you for this recipe. If I make a larger batch, would the boiling time be the same? and if I freeze, would it still taste good thawed? I will be making this this week!
My brother-in-law is on an all-liquid diet, I ordered the exact ingredients and adjust with salt to taste.....I hoping he like but we my wife and I tried the results and its great....
I am so glad I found your channel! I am binge watching!!!! Can you tell us how to make the chicken lettuce cups, so many others' are "copy cat". Some advice on how to obtain this "haco" brand, I would like to know what it looks like.
Thank you for sharing. I only eat one meal a day (OMAD) but some days I need help. Store bought broth isn't enough they're very Bland to me and expensive 🙃
I've decided to make my own vegetarian broth and I'm going to add this soup recipe 😋 as my flavor base and as a meal on its own. Thanks you. New subscriber.
JASON IS GREAT!!! I've made the Diablo sauce, onion soup, and ginger salad because of this channel. I'm having trouble with the Las Vegas sushi roll though. Rice won't stick. I may have undercooked it. Any suggestions, Jason or could you do a Las Vegas roll video since it's methods are different from traditional sushi?
Made it last night for the first time. So so good. I think I have more mushrooms/onions than soup. This was so easy to make though I may make it again tonight. This may become a delicious cycle of I have too many mushrooms I should make soup, I have too much soup I should get mushrooms. If I make it again tonight I may cut the carrots a little finer I cut them much too large last night. Gonna try your fried rice recipe next. Thank you so much
I’m going to make today for first time! 2/3/2022 I’m excited and hope it will taste good.
Good luck! Let me know how it turns out!!
Thank you !
your channel is mega underrated, your vids are quite professional looking
Hey, thanks a lot! I really appreciate your comment, as just a few months ago I had zero idea what I was doing with cameras, lights and audio! I’m trying to improve a little bit with each video! It really means a lot to me that someone actually noticed!
Your comment made my day!
This is great!!! This soup and miso are my favorites. i just went and got all the ingredients after work and will be trying tomorrow!!! What do you do with the vegetables? Use them for anything else?
I usually just toss out the veggies because they’ve given up their flavor. Probably good for compost though!
@Jason Farmer good to know!!! I can't wait to make this and make some chicken fried rice as the main dish. Dad is going to love it too.
I'm very happy with what I made using these ingredients
I’m elated to hear that, Cordell! Thanks for letting me know! I really appreciate you!!
Thanks for the awesome post! I want to order using your links but want the Haco bases Benihana uses. Should I order the MSG or No MSG versions? Thanks for the awesome post!
Hi, Diane! Nice to see you again!
To be completely honest, I'm not sure what version they use at Benihana. My source just tells me "Swiss Chalet brand pastes" and in the corporate book it just has "Haco brand beef and chicken pastes". Swiss Chalet is a subsidiary of Haco. So, I'm not sure which version they use.
I've tried both and I didn't really notice a difference. MSG isn't bad for you (that's a myth) and it is used in a lot of Asian cuisine and it really does improve flavor, so I wouldn't be afraid to try it if I were you. But, at the end of the day, it's really just your choice.
Sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer! But, you're going to be fine with either.
Let me know how it turns out!
Thanks again for stopping by!!
I enjoyed this. Ill keep an eye on your future content / recipes with a sub.
Japanese food of any kind is my favorite. Served a year in Okinawa and the Okinawan food was every bit as good as Japanese. Just dont tell them I bothered to compare. Thank you.
I just found your channel and it was an instant sub from the new Benihana fried rice video! Quick question though: I doubt we'd get the HACO stock powders or the Campbell's consomme or chicken stock over here. Would Knorr beef and chicken cubes do the job? I mean I'm sure it would work but would it be close to the Benihana version? Thanks man, keep on keeping on!
Hello! Yeah, Knorr will work fine! The taste will be largely the same, it's just the clarity might not be there. But, in all honesty, it doesn't really matter other than appearance. The taste will be 99% the same!
Thanks for watching!!
@@farmageddon I'm more concerned about the taste than the clarity but I'm definitely seeing some meal prep potential in this that I can incorporate in. Thank you again man!
An excellent instructional video. I see that somebody wrote a script. So rare.
Love all your videos. Do they use the Haco brand flavor with msg or without msg?
Hello! I'll be completely honest with you: I never got an answer to which version they use. When I bought mine, they were out of one of the bases, so I have the chicken with MSG and the beef without (or vice versa) and I'm not able to tell the difference. So, just grab either one. MSG isn't bad for you, though. That's a myth. Personally, I'd probably get the one with MSG if they had both.
Thank you for watching! And let me know if you have any other questions. I'll do my best to help you out!
@@farmageddon thank you!
its wild to me that you only have 35k views on this video, and some of your other videos have similar views but they deserve a lot more.
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words!
Thank you
benihana gotta have a hit out on this man, giving away their secrets
The best hangover cure ever
How well does this freeze, and if it does well, how would you suggest that be portioned up/what sort of containers?
How many servings does this yield? Great video
I GOTTA GIVE THIS A SHOT!!.. LOL...WILL TELL
Thank you - this is marvelous! (Don't suppose you have the recipe for the glorious golden egg sauce for the shrimp? 😀)
Thank you! I've had several requests for the egg sauce from Ron's - but I've never had it before. I definitely plan on trying to break it down in the future. I need to go try it! Sounds delicious!
@@farmageddon I've kind of worked out a version of it, but I'd be ecstatic to have the real deal. It's basically a sort of mayonnaise-like substance you put on the steaming shrimp (or whatever, I suppose). Causes it to turn into sort of a custard that is sublime. Edit: there are some recipes online that don't sound 100% to me, but there are a couple videos that may be pretty authentic. If I can find one, I'll point you to it.
Very cool, thank you. Would 'Better Than Bullion' Chicken and Beef pastes substitute well for the Haco products?
Sure thing! They'll work just fine! They might not be as clear, but the taste will be very similar!
crazy how much flavor the fried onions impart to the soup. If you taste without it its night and day.
I have so enjoyed trying your recipes. I am able to convert pretty much all of them to gluten free - but I haven’t figured out how to convert this one yet! Do you have any recommendations?
Hello, Jennifer! I don't see anything with gluten in it in the recipe other than the crispy onions. You can replace those with crispy garlic chips (fried garlic) - which should be available at most Asian grocery stores. Also, if using a stock base or canned stock or broth is unappealing to you - just use homemade beef and chicken stock or a high quality version you have purchased. It's not going to be as clear as a consomme, but that difference is largely aesthetic. The taste will still be identical.
Thanks for watching! I sincerely appreciate your support! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line! :)
@@farmageddon actually the suggested concentrated bases all have gluten (wheat) in them - both the Campbells and Haco. If using homemade stock - would you just omit water then? Four cups of each?
Hey, Jennifer! I didn’t even realize those bases had gluten! Learned something new! But yeah, just replace the liquid with your homemade stock in the exact same amount. BH uses a chicken/beef blend but anything will work! And just make sure you season it well because it’s bland otherwise! :)
Hi again! Question: What can you do with the vegetables once removed? Do you throw away or can they be used for something else? Again awesome video. Can't wait to try this 😍 Thank you for the video!
Hey, Cris! Great to see you again! Great question!
So, the veggies leftover will be fairly bland, because they gave most of their flavor to the broth. But, you can actually take them and make a mash (kind of like how they do bubble and squeak in the UK) and combine with an egg and breadcrumbs and make veggie burgers. Those are pretty good. You can use the veggies in another soup or toss them in rice. You won't want to cook them for long, just reheat them, because they're already very soft and they can easily turn into mush. You can mix them with eggs and make a frittata. My buddy even used to take all our leftover veggies from the restaurant, mash it up, then put it in his the food for his dogs (don't feed dogs onions, though). I would google 'bubbles and squeak' - it's a dish from the UK where they make little pucks of mashed up vegetables that are made with a roast. It's a great dish.
Thanks for your question! I really appreciate you stopping by again!
@@farmageddon Awesome!!!! Thank you very much! I really appreciate your time. :D
You’re very welcome! Don’t hesitate to drop me a line if you ever have any questions!!
@@farmageddon NOOOOOOOOOOO dogs cannot eat onions.... NOOOOOOO
Regina! Thanks for pointing that out! I don't know if my friend ever took home onions, but I'm going to call him tonight and tell him! I don't have any pets, but I love dogs, so I'm glad you pointed this out! Apparently dogs also can't eat grapes! Thanks again for pointing this out!
10 Stars -- Wow
A tip to make this gluten free, check out the organic store brand french fried onions. Both the big chains near me have their own gluten free organic versions. For those wondering where in the store to find them, check next to the green beans(some crazy people use them to make green bean casserole instead of things like this and sushi toppings)
Great video! Any advice on a vegan version?
Hey Taylor!
The HACO brand chicken base is actually vegan, believe it or not! The beef flavor base is only vegetarian, but the chicken is 100% vegan.
Check out the links in the video description if you'd like to use the exact product Benihana uses.
If not, I'd just go just with a vegetable broth. You can make one by simmering a mirepoix (2 part onion, 1 part carrot, 1 part celery) with herbs and spices (things like garlic, parsley, etc.) in water for 45-60 minutes. Then strain out the vegetables and use the broth in the recipe. There are good vegan stock bases that I'm sure would work well, too!
Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!
Looking at the HACO paste... I wonder if using better than bullion beef and chicken paste would work... 🤔🤔... might be an experiment I try!! Came across your channel in the last year, giving your fried rice recipe, and possibly this a shot tomorrow. Instead of chicken, though, I'm using Char Siu style pork as my protein!
Recipes for hot and sour soup and egg drop soup please!
I made the soup after watching this video using the Grocery Store Version and it came out great! I wasn't able to find the sunflower oil and instead used vegetable oil and I don't think it made any difference.
Hey, thanks Brad!!
Yeah, any neutral oil will work well! They typically use safflower oil at hibachi restaurants. I'm not sure why they use soybean for this soup? Quite strange!
Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate you!
Also, for the restaurant beef and chicken bases... do you use the w/MSG or w/o MSG? Thinking with MSG, but would like to confirm. Thanks!
You know, I've never gotten an answer on this and I've asked my buddy who works there multiple times. But I have both versions and you don't really notice a difference. Whatever one you can get is fine!
So I broke down & brought the Haco brand chicken, but I still used to beef consommé from Campbell’s and it turned out perfect. I have found out that you need to use a yellow onion and not a sweet onion because it makes a difference in the taste.
Question: Could one use the better than bouillon bases instead of the ones shown? Would the taste be similar? Thank you, I also have searched for this recipe for years.
yes, those would be fine! it might not be as clear as the haco or campbells, but the taste will basically be the same!
Can you tell me approximately how many cups this makes? And what kind of onions? Yellow or white? Also, thanks for making this video. I’ve been looking for this forever.
I did the store bought version since the Haco Ingredients were unavailable… it was good but more beefy than what we felt it should be.
I was able to get the Haco beef consume delivered but they are now out of the chicken base. What would be the best course on making the soup with the Haco beef & store bought chicken broth ?
Beef Connusme’ 🤔
95% where I come from is passing !
Thank you for posting. Will make this recipe tomorrow with some fried rice 🍚
Do you have to use soybean oil or will vegetable oil, etc. be an adequate substitute? I can't find it at my local grocery stores, including Wal-Mart.........
To be completely honest, any of those oils are OK. You’re not going to be able to tell the difference. Vegetable, canola, safflower, etc. are all good substitutes.
Thanks for watching! Happy New Year!!
Hi Jason,where can I buy this HACO soup base I look on Amazon and eBay and can not finding it.
Thanks for all good cooking tips 👍
Hello, there are a couple places online. Either on their website or do a search for Swiss Chalet. That’s the name of the exact product, Swiss Chalet bases. It’s just owned by Haco.
Best of luck!
Now do Olive Garden recipes! The Alfredo sauce!!! I neeeeeed it!
Copy that! I'll put it in my notes of things to investigate!
Jason, do you have a written version of the Benihana soup recipe with instructions?
Hey, Rick! There's a written recipe in the video description!
Thanks for watching!! Take care!!
