    My take on a full recipe:
    Shoyu chicken (That Dude Can Cook)
    Ingredients
    • 4-6 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
    • 1 1/2 cups water
    • 1 cup soy sauce
    • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
    • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, cut into slices
    • 5 garlic cloves, smashed but whole
    • 7 spring onions, chopped in large chunks
    • Garnish with sesame seeds
    • Slurry of cornstarch to thicken (1T - 1.5T mixed with cold water)
    • White rice for service
    Directions
    Add water, soy sauce, aromatics, sugar, vinegar to a pot large enough to hold the chicken.
    Trim fat from chicken, add chicken to pot and marinate for 24 hours or so.
    Bring pot to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes and rotate chicken. Simmer for another 15 minutes and check temp to see if thighs are at 180F. If so, turn off heat and let thighs sit in pan for at least 30 minutes.
    Remove thighs to broiler pan and broil for 3-4 minutes, to brown and crisp skin.
    Remove aromatics from pot, heat to boiling, add cornstarch slurry and thicken
    Serve chicken on white rice, ladling sauce on top.

      @Sprak ... Very good coinage -- the "Golden Age of Home-Cooking". Hell, yes, I agree with you. It is TOO DAMNED EXPENSIVE to eat out. So, we are learning to do it all at home. See, during Covid, we were forced to cook at home, so we did and had a good amount of time to learn how to really cook. Before we were good home-cooks, but now, wife and I are becoming home-chefs. Because we are not gonna go out and spend FUCKING $15 bucks for a single plate of this for one person, when -- look at video -- how easy it is to do at home.

    I appreciate when people explain what a particular ingredient is doing and why it works. Once you understand that, not only can you (almost) always find a substitute, but sometimes come up with new amazing creations with no script at all. Also if you eat rice often and have the space, just get a rice cooker, even a $15 one. It just simplifies cooking and cleanup and you can focus on other dishes.

    Sonny, i couldnt be a bigger fan. I had the benefit of growing up in a family that taught me how to cook at a young age, and then worked in a kitchen for a bit after HS. Once i hit college, i was pretty much the only person in my dorm who would cook- and there was a reason for that. So many people are simply afraid to mess up, and a lot of the "teachers", even out here on social media, are snobs and make even simple dishes really intimidating for someone just trying to pick up the craft and make some decent food. You're the exact opposite- every recipe is presented in such a streamlined way, and you let people know that substitutions can be made- you create a really inviting energy where, even If i know hiw to make the dish already, its just a pleasure to watch your take on it. Ive gained a lot of inspiration from your videos over the years- and im even a bigger fan of you spreading awareness and trying to rally the troops to support Hawaii. I cant believe (not to get political) how the US government just ignored their pwn people, its disgraceful on their end, but youre a mensch. I just was discharged from the hospital a few hours ago and was in a really bad place physically and mentally- Your video really just made life a lot more palatable. Thankyou, seriously. And yes, I did infact teach a lot of people with no experience in the kitchen the basics, and I normally take your approach to showing them the ropes. There's probably 15 people roaming around this rock that I inspired to cook, and that makes me happy (seeing them post their dishes or send me snaps- it's very rewarding in a weird way)- you've inspired hundreds of thousands of people to make a nice meal for themselves or loved ones. I hope you realize all the good you do, you deserve the success.

      A lot of our local cuisine here is shoyu/soy sauce plus sugar lol. I think it stemmed from the plantation days when folks would use whatever they had available and we had soy sauce from Japan and a lot of sugar from the sugar mills. You can also use the same recipe for fatty pork chunks and make Okinawa shoyu pork using this same broth. Also very delicious imo. Swap it out for chuck roast cut up into strips and add hot chili peppers and you can make Hawaiian style hot meat.

    Heya! :) I've tried the recipe, and the final result was really tasty - I recommend everyone to give it a try. The few changes I made are: I added one regular white onion to the brine (just peeled and quartered), I dialed down the soy sauce volume (this might be an issue with "freedom units" conversion, or using more salty soy sauce) to about 120ml, and after cooking, I didn't strain the aromatics, just took the bigger pieces of ginger out and used a blender to thicken the sauce. I also added 1 teaspoon of honey at this point, which was a good decision. I skipped the cornstarch slurry, as the consistency was pretty much right after my previous steps. Overall, it was delicious, especially considering the worktime needed - thanks for sharing this recipe!

    Asian who lived TOO LONG abroad without access to a decent rice cooker here -- big up the rice-cooking technique! I spent my many miserable years perfecting cooking rice in a regular pot and this fella's tips are 100% spot on, every step of the way. Also, fluffing(mixing) the rice immediately after the no-heat steaming period, while it's still warm, minimises sticking as the rice cools; which makes cleaning the pot after MUCH easier. I've never felt this much familial love for a non-Asian chef before!

Its delicious and easy as hell to make and who doesnt like that? Especially after a long day at work. Just give me shoyu chicken, rice and some potato mac salad on the side and im good to go lol.

    Solid techniques. I spent 3 years in the Philippines and that nail trick to measure rice to water is one I learned early on, I never use a rice cooker. Also, the recipe is very close to Chicken Adobo (which may be where it came from), and everyone has their own version of it. It's super simple and always delicious.

    I grate and mince every aromatic for full flavor release and nutrient release and use a very fine mesh to filter the stock or base. The pulp left over I try to recycle and use them as ingredients for appetizers or sauces that complement the main dish. For this dish, I’d have incorporated them into a homemade cornbread or keep them in a refrigerated container for near future use. I could also use a dehydrator and turn the pulp into a spice after it fully dries and I grind it up.

    One of my favourite things to make. In China, we'll add cooking wine to the concoction, with some star anise. If you scale up to about 4 cups of soy sauce to 8 cups water, you can poach a whole chicken in this thing! Then you can save and reuse the poaching liquid by freezing it.

    A few years ago I started cooking all my rice dishes with chicken bouillon. I also rinse it under hot water for a minute or so in a strainer while shifting it around throughly. I also sear the rinsed rice in a hot sauce pan with a generous tablespoon or two of unsalted butter, carefully swirling it around until it almost burns and then adding the bouillon flavored water and deglazing the pan scrapping any thing that stuck to the bottom. Bring it to a rolling boil continually stirring to prevent sticking. I cover it with a tight fitting lid and with a layer of aluminum foil. I set it on a burner at the lowest setting for about twenty minutes.
    I've had a lot of people appreciate this rice and it's almost good enough to eat by itself.
    Cheers!

    The video appeared in my feed the other day. Obsessed about it so in the middle of a rainstorm, ran to the store to get scallions and thighs. Delicious! Next time, might do lime juice instead of rice vinegar. And maybe toss some fresh cilantro into the rice just before serving.

    @jeffryice3854 11 месяцев назад

    TV cook. As a professional retired chef, I have never thrown away any type of skins or outer coverings when making a sauce if I was taking the aromatics out. You are wasting flavor. Sauces, gravies, soups and stocks, why waste ingredients? That was a very simple sauce to make, it is a very tasty sauce, but simple. I did like the fact you took the time to show people how to make rice the correct way. Broiling the chicken afterwards is a sign of good training. Do yourself a favor and think about your food waste. The food looked really tasty, and I loved the presentation, and I loved the showmanship. Keep up the good work, subbed and will be watching you for more.

    I am a little late to the show. However, i must say, the sauce is excellent with beef also. I made some Sho-yu-beef and the family killed it. I took some Milanese thin sliced beef, cut it into 2x3 inch strips, coated with cornstarch, cooked them in the frying pan. removed the beef and deglazed the pan with some sauce. added the beef back to the sauce and it thickened up quite nicely. Next ill do chicken. Thanks Sonny.

    👍🏻 Great 10+10 method for the rice, thanks! I usually do my rice in a pressure cooker (for yummy glutinous results) .. but this method with the same ratio of rice to water is so much easier, as is the clean up. I'm already looking forward to my next batch!

  • @chuckcollins4715
    @chuckcollins4715 8 месяцев назад

    One thing everyone needs to know about corn starch as a thickener is that it continues to thicken as it cools, so don't continue to add it until the hot liquid is the thickness you are after, or it will become goo when it cools. Personally I would not thicken the sauce. I would use the short-grained sticky rice which needs the thin sauce to help it break up. 1 part water to one part rice is the correct ratio for this (and most other) rice. That ratio makes a drier rice which soaks up the broth or sauce far better which, in turn, holds the flavor in the rice.

    This is one of my speciality dish. I do slightly different. All the sauce into a ball, a whole chicken pricked with fork or bamboo stick, clean chicken by rubbing with salt & lemon before pricking, to rid of the chickeny smell.
    Ginger/spring onion rub all over pricked chicken, than rub the sauces all over, steep the chicken in the sauce put in fridge no longer than 1 hour.
    Put in pot, boil slowly or put in foil, bake till cooked, take foil off bake for another 10/20 mins on rack, so chicken golden sticky crispy skin.
    Take sauce thicken. Chop chicken ala Chinese style, and pour sauce over.
    Also great dish cold, for picnics etc
