Mystery Night
Just this one
I used to watch you guys religiously for years, but then developed an eating disorder and had to cut down on watching food content for quite some time. Fortunately I’m finally in a point where I can say I’ve recovered, and I’m back to waiting for the channels notifications + watching allll the videos I missed during my off-time! Thanks guys for cheering me up and continuing to make amazing videos
I'm glad you're doing well, take care of yourself!!
I’m a stranger but I’m glad you are back. Be kind to yourself and keep going the world is better with you in it.
So happy that you get to enjoy the videos again, and super proud of you too!! You certainly got a long way behind (and maybe ahead of) you and I am sending you so much love, stranger! You deserve all the good things.❤
Exactly same here. Solidarity ❤️
Congratulations!! Here's to many more years of good health!!
Being Indonesian, I've now realized that we do have our own scotch egg, thanks Jamie 🤣
RIP the Ginger Era (3rd - 28th April '24). We will never forget you.
Otherwise known as "The Muscle Month"
@@SortedFoodO no! Does this mean no more James on the reg??😢
@@noangelthis He does have another job. I'm sure he'll be back when he can. You can take the ginger out of the Sorted, but you can't take the Sorted out of the ginger.
In german you could call it "Die Fanservice Folgen" (the fanservice episodes)
@@KhronicDMike’s comment during one of last week’s videos about him being pretty much back and not being a guest had given me hope that he was back for good.
You do have a point, though
As an Indonesian, ebbers are scarily good at making pempek from the ingredients alone! Good job guys
The moment Ebbers understands how to use the egg, you can see his eyes light up and he dashes to try it. That is so fricking wholesome, and honestly a perfect example of why I watch you guys: genuine love for food and love of exploration. It would have been the easiest thing in the world to lose that in the hubbub of video production and RUclips necessities, but you guys have kept it alive all these years. Love this series and this channel!
It's always nice to watch Ben flex his knowledge muscles. He is so on point throughout these episodes
To be fair, they're the only muscles he can flex successfully! 😂
@@SortedFood Don't disrespect BEN!!! I've missed him while he was on Vacation!
I know... that's definitely my favorite part of these episodes. Cuz it's not just his cheffiness, it's also the analytical brain combined with his travels and love for science.
@@SortedFood Oh lay off of him... He does so well in these videos...
@@SortedFoodThat’s so mean!! Lol. In my opinion, he doesn’t need to be beefy. I like him as he is and for what he is: a food geek/genius!
Yay ꤶꥉꤸ꥓ꤶꥉꤰ꥓ (pempek) 🇮🇩 ! 👍 Ebbers, you’re spot on. Apparently, real _pempek_ from Palembang were not supposed to be fried but then when the dish was spread across Indonesia, those who are not from South Sumatra preferred the fish cakes to be fried.
The rest of the country also like to submerge the fish cakes in the sauce, but originally they were only for dipping. We outsiders also like to add noodles to make it more filling, but according to the people of Palembang, that would effectively turn it into a completely different dish.
People from South Sumatra would always roll their eyes whenever they see how the rest of the country eat _pempek_ so adaptations have always been the name of the game. So all things considered, you guys did great! 👏
I'm not from Palembang, never been to Palembang, and every time I ate something called "Pempek Palembang" all I remember was that they were deep-fried 😂
Similar story, tempe mendoan.
As the name stands out, it was fried not till crispy but to the point where the outer dough is chewy and still have a bit to it. Medium rare, if you wish.
Then I went and order one in Jakarta and it was fried crispy, borderline crisps like.
@@CalvinLimuel Hahaha I’ve been to Palembang, their _pempek_ are so different from what I’m used to. But nowadays they also cater to how us outsiders like to have it 😁
@@Chronostra IKR? I’m not even from Central Java, and I can’t accept why they have to do it that way, what’s the use of having a _mendoan_ then? What’s the difference between _mendoan_ and regular fried tempeh then? 😠
I don't think I ever seen foreigners cooking pempek and its cuka sauce before. I'm not from Palembang but thank you for cooking these! What I love about this is that Ben was able to guess the way pempek is made and Jamie described pempek kapal selam as scotch egg, which is clever. Thank you guys once again, I hope you can visit Indonesia one day❤
I love SE Asian cuisine and have had this dish described to me a couple of times and came away baffled. Now seeing it made, and seeing photos of the real thing, I'm going to make this soon.
@@KenS1267 i hope you can try the real pempek at Palembang because i had it once straight from Palembang and it was so good!
I lived in Riau from '74-'88 the pronunciation of Palembang was nails on a chalkboard. It's not that hard to pronounce Bahasa, and that vowel (ae) does not exist in Bahasa. BTW- South and West Sumatra has the greatest food in the world.
@@mholtebeck It's alright. At least they tried. Btw, let me correct you. Please say "Bahasa Indonesia" or "Indonesian" instead of just "Bahasa". If you only say that, that's just means "Language" not "Indonesian Language".
@@literallykevina I thought it was officially called Bahasa in Indonesia. I was about to use Malay, which is closer to Minang, which is the dominant dialect in central/west Sumatra. Australians laugh when people call Brisbane, BrisBANE (it's the name of city in California), and I think Indonesians (especially Sumatrans) should demand that Palembang not be pronounced Pal-em-BANG. I'm 100% biased, but the food of SE Asia is best cuisine in the world, and it's zenith is the 500 KM radius centered in Pekan Baru
I'm from the region! the name is slightly off, it is Pempek Kapal Selam, 'Kapal Selam' being 'diving ship' aka 'submarine'. I'm screaming at the comment of 'Indonesian Scotch Egg' because it kinda is and now I can't see pempek the same way again. While it's obviously not the same as the ones we have, given the circumstances, I'd say it's not bad and I would definitely wanna give this version a taste haha
OMG yes... this is one of my favorite formats... So happy to see this back!
Excellent! More to come!
@@SortedFood yes please
Yes I was so hoping for Jordan since I assume that you’re more familiar with Japanese and Jamaican food.
So happy to see this back too. Hopefully it will be more of a regular series. I am enjoying learning about the cuisines in various countries.
@@beckycaughel7557 I was rooting for Jordan as well for the same reason!
10:08 lmao Jamie saying "Eggers" instead of Ebbers had me laughing pretty good. I love the mystery dish challenge and Indonesian style cooking is one of my favorites!
Ooo finally, an Arab nation! Living in Saudi, I grew up around quite a few Jordanians and Palestineans, and the one dish they loved above anything else was mansaf. It's a lamb dish served on a bed of rice, with the lamb being usually cooked over a long period of time in jameed (it's like a yogurt). It's so good, and definitely what I'd recommend if you'd want to do a traditional Jordanian dish. However, Levantine cuisine kind of blends into one another, so if you just want to go with something iconic and truly Levantine rather than just something that's super Jordanian, then I'd definitely recommend either bamia or molokhiyyah. They're unlike almost anything else, and are the two dishes your parents would make for you all the time (whether you liked it or not).
my first thought went to mansaf as well
لازم يطبخوا منسف بالجميد، هو الطبق الوطني للأردن 🇯🇴
Mansaf is the national dish for jordan 🇯🇴 they have to cook it with jameed and eating it with their hands 😂
Just fyi, in pempek, we dont put chili or garlic in the fish cake itself. Spices would be in the cuko sauce. Theres a saying if you eat pempek, if the cuko isnt make you sweat, its not real pempek. Here, theres even a sambal to combine with the spicy cuko. So you lack spicy thing a whole lot. But its a good try. Good job lads
Jamie's face when Ebbers asks if this dish is as protected as a dish from... say... "Valencia". 6:10 I can feel Jamie's unsease through the camera.
I did think this was abandoned. I’m so glad it’s back!
it's always been a slow series. they probably do one every few filming blocks
Guys, this is scarily close to what I always eat whenever I am back home in Indonesia. Only the pempek cuko (read: choo-ko) is still a bit brown-ish and needs to be developed a little bit darker (also it should be a bit spicy and has got a kick to it).
About kapal selam, imagine if the egg is the contents of a submarine, hence why it is called "kapal selam", which literally translates to English as "submarine".
What a video and I've been waiting for a long time for this one!
That scotch egg analogy actually blew my mind since when I stop and think about it, it is basically egg covered with meat mixture. Also pempek can be made using any part of fish (and no fish at all). My favorite would be the one made from fish skin since it's verrry crispy when fried
I love the random mentions and flashbacks to “The Paella Burrito”. You can always see Jamie panic or smirk a little bit😂
Cried because you guys introduced and cooked something from my hometown 😭😭
You should go to this coffee shop called "Ngopi" in Dalston btw, they sell pretty authentic Pempek!!!
Ben knowledge IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL i mean i know he's a chef but dammit the reasoning is spot on 🔥🔥
The fact that you upload this on the day Indonesia fail to reach the AFC U23 Finals against Uzbekistan gives me my patriotism nationalism as an Indonesian to be proud for our achievement just as how we should be proud for your attempt to make an Indonesian cuisine.
It was planned all along...
Perfect timing for sure. Not to mention pempek is the star of the vid makes me extra happy.
Nationalism is a disease
Dont worry, Japan will beat them for you 🗾
@@akari2378 I hope you guys did it 😁
Ah I noticed a lack of Ben, I know this probably was filmed a while ago but it's nice to see him again!
i have to assume that he's off on one of his food adventures he'll talk about later 😄
@adridoesthings3703
Or on a gin bender
@@adridoesthings3703 I can't deny I am a worrier, so I was starting to get anxious! But yes, hopefully he just had a nice time away, or just wanted a break! No explanation needed from him/Sorted, it's just nice to see him again!
@kierancampire if it helps, he's been making regular updates on his Instagram in regards to his current travels
I agree, they aren’t complete without Ebbers❤
Finally, a dish from my home country Indonesia. Congratulations guys for making Pempek, cause that's a really difficult thing to make. It has simple ingredients but needs fine tune skills to make that into a perfect dish.
If you want to explore another dish that uses Tapioka flour, you can search for Indonesian street food like Cireng, Cilok, Cimol, Bakso Goreng, etc. There are a lot of dishes that use Tapioka as the main ingredient.
Very excited to see that Jordan is up next! I'm not from anywhere around there, but I go to Jordan all the time for work, and you guys could attempt the undisputed national dish, Mansaf. As a vegetarian I've never actually had it myself but of course I've seen it around everywhere and know a bit about the dish, so would be interesting to see you make it!
Whenever I don't know what to do with myself, I come to this channel. I've followed many food channels over the years and got bored with most of them after a while, but here I watch every single video and binge watch older stuff when I have time. It's just the perfect mix of education, deliciousness, fun, friemdship and chaos. Thank you guys for your great work! ❤
So glad to see Ebbers back in a video. Sorted without him for too long is like a dish without enough seasoning, it's ok but it's not perfect 🥰
As an Indonesian who’s been watching you for the last 7 years, and now living in the UK, this is a great deal. Well done and thanks a lot guys!
"little bit of egg, little bit of egg, not too much egg, little bit of egg"
great internal monologue for reference when cooking and possibly a great club mix one day
Welcome back, Ben - it’s never the same without you ❤
Yeahhh, Mike obliterated all those words 😂
Mike tried his best, and that's all we can ask of him... That's what it always said on his school report, anyway!
Happy these series are back, as I'm someone who likes to get inspired by other cuisines. For Jordan the most obvious would be Mansaf, while delicious and unique to Jordan, not sure if it would be that challenging and fun content wise, so I would suggest Makmoura or Rashouf. There are many other dishes, but usually shared across the region as most of the dishes around here. Good Luck and looking forward to the next episode
The little dance Jamie did with "we've got a cross section" had me lose my mind laughing and I don't know why
So glad you've brought this series back. Fascinated to see what dish comes from the next episode.
Jordan! Well, Mansaf is my favorite....though, plenty of amazing dishes to choose from
So happy this series is back! For Jordan you have to make Mansaf, it is a labor of love but super delicious
So glad to see Ebbers back!! 💕
A legendary Jordanian dish is Mansaf - lamb cooked in ground up, reconstituted, dried yoghurt called "jameed" (جَميد) served on top of rice.
I was in Jordan last year. We had Mansaf, Musakhan, Kanafeh (dessert) and A LOT OF humus - in all kinds of flavours/colours :) they have a lot of pistachios - lovely
Yayyyy! Jordan, I am so glad that you finally get to experience more dishes from the Middle East, definitely looking forward to that video 🥳😊
My sis and I were just talking about how much we wish there were more episodes in this series, so thanks Sorted team for bringing it back! Love learning more about other cultures and their cuisines!❤
Forgot about this series. Used to live near Indonesia and so visited a few times as a child. Excited to hopefully have some memories evoked.
Forgot about it?! It hasn't been THAT long 😂
@@SortedFood I forget what I did at the weekend! Let alone a video series from a few weeks ago 😂 brain fog is a real
So glad this was finally posted! I lived in Indonesia for almost a decade and pempek is delicious! As you said, it's quite popular and can be found throughout the country despite its origins in Palembang. Quick correction for Mike, the letter 'c' always makes a 'ch' sound, so 'cuko' is pronounced CHOO-ko. The word means vinegar :)
French-Jordanian here ! I suggest Mansaf for the Jordanian dish, it is the most iconic dish of the country 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴
Please never stop this series. I love it so much!
Happy to see this is back. Was excited to see what you chose for my second home, and this really was a great choice. You didn’t go down the obvious, celeb-chef routes and put yourselves out there to research a dish not many outside of the country would have known. Amazing.
Oh wow, that dish is super interesting and it seems not too difficult to make a batch of the dough, form it, and freeze it for snacks. I think that’s going to be my snack of choice for May! ❤
Now this is what 10,000+ hours can do to you! Ebbers is an absolute master at work! His knowledge is just incredible!!
Here's an idea. (maybe for Season 2 of A-Z) - try to get someone FROM that country (familiar with the dish) in the studio, to judge how close you got the flavor :)
That would be pretty hard to do considering the randomness and accessibility of the possible results (Tajikistan? Zimbabwe?) . They'd have to toss the A-Z format which would take away from the uniqueness.
This was wonderful. I loved that this dish was so specific to a place. I would dig more super specific dishes like this. Thanks for the amazing amount of content the team puts out! We really appreciate it!
The fact you can trace back the origin of a dish to a CITY is FASCINATING
Seeing challenges like this and pass it ons are what us oldies love. Brings back memories of the original kitchen all them years ago !
I advise you to make Makmoura from Jordan!! Really tasty! ❤️
Thanks for continuing the series! It's my favorite by far :)
SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS AGAIN! This series gives me joy of unmatched proportions mostly because I can show off my geography skills to myself…looking at a screen.
i LOVE that you chose a more “unconventional” dish when international people talked about *indonesian dish*! (as opposed to like the classic nasi goreng and stuffs). cant wait to see the jordanian dish!💜
Absolutely love love lovee this series! As someone from Indonesia it's always a treat to see other people try out our cuisine. You guys definitely killed this, great job!
I just love that the wheel is landing on such interesting places, instead of all places that we are already more familiar with their food!! Looking forward to learning more about Jordan!!
I feel exactly the same! I l was hoping to see Jordan pop up on the spin.
I am thrilled to see this series back! Like others in the comments I too was gutted thinking it had been abandoned - so glad to see you continue it.
Finally!!! I’ve been singing Indonesia’s national anthem thousands of times waiting for this episode ❤❤❤ For someone who’s never even heard of pempek before, Ben’s quite bang on! So proud of you! Also for being honest, I skipped the video to when they attempted to pour raw egg into the dough the moment Mike said they will be making pempek kapal selam 😂 Just really curious and I couldn’t wait 😂 Great work, guys!! I hope you all can visit Indonesia to try the real deal~
Im so excited to see this back. Every episode im seeing something new in the kitchen. Cant wait to see what comes out of Jordan, and would love to see this make it all the way to Z
I’m absolutely loving this series and can’t wait to find out the results in this episode. Wondering what the Indonesian mother of my brother-in-law will think of this. 🤔
Im so happy the next one is Jordan! I know Japanese food: sushi, teriyaki, ramen, etc, and I sort of know Jamaican food with things like jerk seasoning and beef patties. I know nothing about Jordanian outside of that it is probably similar to food in neighboring countries.
I love this format!! And I love that Ebbera can flex his vast knowledge 😊❤
Yes! This was one of my fav series! Love to see it back!
Great effort from Ben and Jamie! Really appreciate that you heard most of our inputs to avoid the "more well-known" rendang and nasi goreng.
FYI, "Gepeng" means 'flattened', "Kapal Selam" means 'submarine' (lit. 'diving boat') which implies that version to have a filling, and "Kuah Cuko" kind of means 'vinegar broth'. Personally, I grow up with the sauce being poured over the pempek, so the "kapal selam" one kind of swims in the sauce.
Great effort of pronunciation by Mike, though. The only word that needs correction is "cuko" [choo (like choose) - co (like cough)]
I’m so glad this is back!!! These are some of my favorite formats! I love seeing different food from around the world! And I love watching the process and hearing about the history and techniques and cultures. These are some of the most educational, funny and enriching videos the team does and I hope you continue them!
Really fascinating to me, how Ben highlighted that something like Soy Sauce seems to be missing from the Cuko sauce. Traditionally, one of the main ingredients in Cuko sauce is dried shrimps. When cooked with the sauce, it will release a unique umami and savoury flavour to the sauce.
Ben’s line of thinking was really shocking to me, for perhaps he sensed that the thing missing from this sauce is something umami, which will harmonize the flavours of the ingredients within the sauce.
omg jordan! There's a meal coined by Jordanians using a type of "yoghurt" that's not available anywhere else but that region of the middle East. The meal is called "Mansaf" and it is done using the yoghurt called "jameed", rice, and bread that's called "shraak/shrak". I really hope you get to try it with the unique blend of spices that's used in the region and the authentic flavor of it. Excited for that upcoming episode! Take care :)
Omg yes! It's a famous, well-known meal in Jordan . It's must try!
Always love these! Keep up the great work, guys. Stellar stuff as always.
FINALLY IT'S BACK!!! Been waiting for this one
FINALLY!! I’ve been waiting for this!
JORDAN🇯🇴 !!! You guys have to make mansaf. It is the national dish of Jordan. Delicious.
I lived in Jordan for a few years. Mansaf, the Jordanian national dish would be great! Not only would the boys have to figure out how to cook it and the jameed that goes over it, but also how to traditionally eat it.
I've missed this series so much!!!
I was wondering when this was going to come back! So happy to see it!
SO happy this series is back You guys are one of the few big creators who actually listen to the fans and respond to comments. Legends!
Nice to see Ben doing what Ben does. Every now and then we need to be reminded just what an excellent chef the man is!
Love your videos. Helped me going through rough times. I was binge watching them at some point. Ebbers , what a chef ❤❤❤ and all of you are great of course 😊 thank you
Awesome series, love seeing your take on regional dishes!
I absolutely love this series!!
So glad to see this series come back, even if it was a hell of a wait! Keep it going, boys!
12:05 as an Indonesian, yeah I agree. This is an anomaly for a maritime country that has a minimal seafood based dish. Strangely we Indonesian commonly eat land based animal than seafood counterpart.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for doing a global food challenge episode! It’s been a while since you’ve done one of these and I was hoping you all hadn’t decided to end the series. ☺️
Yeeesssss I’ve been waiting for this format to come back!
My aunt usually filled the pempek with moringa leaves. IT'S DELICIOUS. Thank you for making this!
I'd love to try Southern Fried Chicken with tapioca flour.
Well done Lads. A challenging dish. I am white Australian but by soul lives in Indonesia. I visit every few weeks and am returning on Friday. You boys should visit and do an Indonesian series. It is a magical diverse nation 🇮🇩
Love this format boys! Can't wait for the next one
Its been so long I forgot about these. Glad they're back.
Ooh, yay. I love this series
I’m so excited for a video on Jordan! I absolutely love getting to learn about the cuisine of countries that I’ve never been able to visit.
Omg finally! I hoped you hadn't forgotten about this series it is so good!
Finally!!! These immediately became my favorite videos!!!!
As a danish person, I do wish you'd have a little re-do of that one, though....
The best series!!!!!
Great to see this series back!
I love these and the global street food shows
I looooove these videos. You guys do such an amazing job of being incredibly entertaining while also teaching about different cultures and foods!
OMG I have been watching Sorted since I was fourteen (I'm twenty-five now) and this video just makes me so happy!
Fun fact: one of my older comments made it to your Fridge Cam episodes!
Putting all the good energy out there & in advance for Nigeria being letter N 😂🤞🏾🤞🏾
