Frieren was insanely popular, especially since it scratches that fantasy itch that has nothing to do with Isekai. There's nothing wrong with Isekai, just it's nice to have something different in fantasy, you know?
They didn’t eat rice with the Hamburg steak in the anime because Hamburg steak isn’t inherently Japanese, it’s pretty common to most cultures, and the anime Frieren itself is heavily German fantasy inspired.
@@manhunter433 Frikadelle is way more popular over here than Hacksteak, the main difference being that Hacksteak needs to be at least 80% meat, while a Frikadelle can be more than 20% panade. Frikadelle is also not really meant to be a steak replacement like it is in japan. Its most commonly eaten between a sliced-in-half roll of bread or on its own usually with mustard. Its usually not served with demiglace either, which is another v popular sauce in Japan but not here.
Finally!! Someone using pork to make hamburger! I literally use 1/2lb pork and 1lb beef to make burgers and other than seasoning, you dont need anything else. they end up being SUPER juicy. I'll even use pork shoulder and beef tenderloin or chuck if I'm feeling fancy. Its as simple as that.
Hamburg Steak is actually the original name for Salisbury Steak! It was renamed due to anit-German sentiment during WWI. (Though originally it meant an actual (though cheap) steak, tenderized by hitting it with a mallet, and served in its own gravy, not a ground-meat faux steak.)
There are several key differences between Salisbury steak and Hamburg steak. Hamburg steak is finely chopped Chuck pressed into a loose patty, pan fried on a bed of onions and heavily salted. Hamburg steak became popular among laborers because it is very cheap, easy, and fast to make. Butchers start grinding the meat instead of chopping it to meet demand and eventually putting in buns for easy takeout, creating the iconic Hamburger. Salisbury Steak was created by a physician, James H. Salisbury in 1897, as method of preparing leaner cuts of beef for people with digestive issues. Ground beef with added bread ingredients serving as binders, broiled, and served with a thick gravy, Salisbury Steak is closer to a meatloaf
I would love it if you tackled any of the food from “Restaurant to Another World.” Maybe the beef tendon curry? It’s my comfort anime and my favorite show! ☺️😋
He should do “The Eatball” from Cyanide and Happiness, it’s all the ingredients from all your favorite foods in one convenient clump, want a juicy burger? Syrupy Waffles? A hot fudge sundae? It’s all in there! Probably
Oh Alvin, one of the best in recent months he says. This show has single handedly dethroned full metal alchemist: brotherhood from the 1st place of all time, which had been there for the better part of 10 years.
Its got women who arent there just for fan service. Women who think and talk, but dont trope it out all over the show. Its truly the best fantasy anime, and really high up there for all anime.
From hamburger steak recipes I've seen so far, they typically sweat the onions first. Raw onion is how we typically do similar patties here in east Europe, but after trying the precooked method, I think it's superior.
This. Plus japanese usually finish the cooking of the steak by adding sauce to the pan and simmering it for a bit with the lid on. For such a big one I would have started it on the oven, then onto the pan to brown it.
"Except for a dessert. That would be weird." GD it Alvin. Now I have to figure out how to make a dessert fried rice. I have more important things to do this month than to invent a new dish!
I imagine you could use rice pudding as your main inspiration. You'd just need to figure out how to make it enough like fried rice so it's not just making rice pudding in a wok.
That was my first thought @@zolo49noname45 but I'm also going to check out the suggestions. I might try to get the pudding/custard profile in the eggs, and cardamom will be used :-)
Thanks @@LocoMohsin this looks like a pilaf or biryani, which is a bit different but I like the pistachio and raisins! A true fried rice uses left overs, which means using a left over dessert. In my mind, fruit pie would hold up best. Imagine trying to stir fry a slice of cake?!? LOL!
When I went to the Frieren-themed anime cafe pop up in Osaka, the "Hamburg steak" was in reality pasta and mashed potato rim, all covered in Demi-glacé. It was still delicious
what you made was not ground but chopped meat, difference is the texture. one is slowly ripped appart while the other is cut. Ground meat has the advantage of being more tender while chopped meat has more bite.
Fun fact about Hamburg steaks in Japan. Japan picked up the recipe from the US. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was more common for us in the US to eat hamburg steak like, well a steak. It was a common way to use less desirable cuts of meat. Well we stopped eating it, but they kept going. Omurice is similar. It was invented from whole cloth as part of the program to "modernize" (read Westernize) Japan after the Meiji Restoration.
I am wearing bombas right now, but they have one TINY flaw. A tiny hole slowly opens up right at your ankle, right where the cold wind blows in just off the ground. And yes, that's the only flaw I've found in this product, after a year of buying and using them. Might be the best sock that wasn't hand knit that i ever got.
Interesting... What I like to do for fried rice is actually pretty much the opposite. I mix the eggs with the rice before putting it in the pan, to keep it as juicy as possible and kind of coating everything instead of having bits and pieces.
This is literally a hamburger, which was what the Hamburg steak was originally called. A hamburger is just the patty and it comes from the city of hamburg. Originally it was a cooced version of the Tatarian steak or Steak Tartar, which in turn was the tough cuts of beef stored under a tatar warriors saddle to grind and tenderize them.
Please do a Fast & Furious Fahmuhly Style Bar-B-Que! After the Japan tour? Maybe? A welcome home famuhly get together with some upbeat Latin pop music and Corona's?
I love the video but I have one tiny thing to say-Hamburg steak itself doesn't actually originate as a Japanese fusion dish, it's a dish that originated in the US and was made by German immigrants adapting the Frikadelle. 👍
Yall should try rice from the New York Rice Factory if you ever haven't! It's sold out now but the wonderfully named Huhuhu was the most delicious rice my family and I have yet ever had. It's all freshly milled to order and always insanely fresh tasting, you'll never be able to go back to old shelf store bags. I often get a bag of haiga (70% milled off) along with white and blend a cup of haiga in with 1-3 cups of white for a bit more nutrition and wholesome flavor.
Following this line of Japanese "diner food," would love you to recreate the unctious dark Japanese beef stews they have in their diners. I have tried many times. I think they add whiskey and soy but it doesn't taste like either...
my brother in christ, hamburg steak is not a 'japanese fusion dish' it's a 120+ year old german dish. It's literally named after the city it was made (or popularized) in. Hamburg Germany. selling these out of carts to sailors is where the term hamburger came from.

That's probably why they added panko to this one. Japanese bread crumbs usually used as tempura breading.
Yeah he got the breadcrumbs in there just added it in reverse
@@MadHattedLion I wonder if they have thunder mage making panko in Frieren's world. Panko is from a special bread baked by passing electrical current through the dough.
I always thought hamburg steak was a Japanese meatloaf.
Its a gigantic bulette.

To be honest frieren was popular
Frieren was insanely popular, especially since it scratches that fantasy itch that has nothing to do with Isekai. There's nothing wrong with Isekai, just it's nice to have something different in fantasy, you know?
The blue flowers is a great moment from early on, probably my favorite in the first few episodes.
It's one of the few things Friren knew about Himmel personally.
The moment Alvin said "...garden of blue flowers..." I immediately started to tear up. Thanks Alvin for your ninja onion cutting skills

i mean sure but its not a super popular dish over here in Germany, at least not compared to how it is in japan.
Not from what I've studied about the culture. Pork is high up on the German menu.

yeah but the food in Frieren is based on the Japanese version, so Alvin is correct. Hamburg Steaks are eaten with rice.

BTW if you havent watched Frieren, WATCH IT!! actual 10/10
I'm on my fourth rewatch. It's one of very few anime that has brought tears to my eyes. Such a great story.
Does it have many anime tropes?
@@Rabbit-o-witzIt has a few. It breaks tropes as a theme of the show though
Probably want to have tissues on standby though.

An anime you could tackle is Delicious in Dungeon. You would have a few recipes from... common... ingredients to try.
Second this, like that show as well. But Frieren is a lot deeper of an anime, story wise.
Having this on a birthday would be better than cake
Ok fine, I'll watch Frieren again.
Frieren might watch this video and remember the recipe again now
Oh Alvin, one of the best in recent months he says. This show has single handedly dethroned full metal alchemist: brotherhood from the 1st place of all time, which had been there for the better part of 10 years.

Probably the most wholesome anime out there
I was waiting for this to happen for months I'm glad it's finally arrived!!❤

Delicious in dungeon/dungeon meshi next!!
Funnily enough, Frieren and Marcille share the same VA, Erika Ugalde, in the Latin American Spanish dub
@@pablocasas5906 I think the English dubs share a VA somewhere too, but I can't remember who...
You made me cry watching a cooking program well played Alvin.
"Garden of blue flowers means anything to you", miraculously this forces the onion fumes to come directly through the screen.
This scene in the anime always makes me cry, happy to see that y'all did this!
This made me smile fr
I love frieren so much
I am not ready emotionally for season 2
Frieren is cinema ! I'd love to see dishes from Dungeon Meshi
Probably a bit hard to source the ingredienta. ;)
Reminds me of when Alvin was doing "Making it BIG". That is really a call-back.
I wish I could've enjoyed some of this for my birthday today! It looks amazing 🤤
Instructions unclear, cooked my socks.
At least you cooked yours. I burnt mine😅
Love the anime, and I love that you covered this recipe
When I went to the Frieren-themed anime cafe pop up in Osaka, the "Hamburg steak" was in reality pasta and mashed potato rim, all covered in Demi-glacé. It was still delicious

A prefect video to watch on my birthday, even if its a day after the upload.

It’s so appropriate that you posted this today it’s my birthday, and Frieren is one of my favorite shows and I love the Hamburg steak and its meaning
10:07 next project: fried rice pudding.
im so glad!!!! you watch freene and made this food ❤❤❤
i WANT that bowl he put the rice into at the end.
Another mouth-watering anime dish coming to life 😇😇

Looks delicious. I want to try.😋🤤 ❤ can you do Bob's Burgers beefhemoth
Hamburg steak is japanese fusion?
In case he didn't know, the hamburger patty existed long before hamburger sandwiches as its own dish.
that fried rice looks stunningly delicious i really wanna make some one day
Hamburg steaks are just fancy Midwest meatloaf. No wonder I like them so much.
