    If I had to cook one thing for the rest of my life I'd choose ribs. There's so many silly little things you can do to experiment and change things up. Do you want a satisfying bite off the bone or so tender you can slide the bones right out of the meat? Endlessly juicy meat or a nice bark on the outside? smokey umami or sweet barbecue? If the rules allowed it I even love making BBQ pizza with rib meat.
    If I had to eat the same thing for the rest of my life on the other hand, it'd be chicken breast with burnt garlic pepper seasoning over instant mashed potatos with packet gravy. I've learned enough cooking skills and enjoy it enough that I don't like using instant/packaged stuff, but I'm not sure I'll ever prefer the taste from scratch. The cheap and easy stuff I grew up on just never gets old. My corpse is gonna last forever from all the preservatives!

    Okay man so I have a couple of questions. If theres a video about this someone comment the link please :)
    What to do with all the stock? storage wise... Freeze it? Just keep it refridgerated ..? how long can I use one batch of stock, when does it turn bad?
    And about your vegetable preparation... so you prep veggies for the whole week.. put them in air tight containers and then in the fridge? Thats it?! So simple? Can I do this to every ingredient I'm using? Which ones should I exclusively prepare as I need them? Which ones are not as nice after a couple days (in the fridge)?
    Only two questions for now..
    Love the videos!

      freeze it. you could even make a really condensed version, freeze it in an icecube tray and chuck the cubs in a freezer bag. Then you've got an easy stock cube for pretty much anything

    Omg, I just made this chicken noddle soup last night and had it 5 min ago, its truly amazing, my husband was blown away by the broth too! Im from China, the best chicken soup i had before was made in my grandparents village, they killed the chicken and made soup out of it right way. So delicious! i think its something with the chicken, those chickens go to the mountain and rice filed to get their own food. My grandma barely put anything into the soup, but it's some insanely flavored broth.

      @@capnsmashem3284 There is a difference between a factory produced chicken - as in, those that live in large industrialised coops - and a free-range chicken - and when I say "free-range" I don't mean the legal definition of "if they can see the sun for 4 hours per day, it's free-range".
      Factory chicken makes for an alright stock, but it's main purpose in life is it's meat. Free-range, on the other hand, is more bony and thus far less impressive in a roast, but makes for a truly majestic broth.
      Use this knowledge well, and I think you'll find what you seek even in America.

      Older chickens, ones that are stringy and not really great for, say, frying, are great for soups. Boiler hens are what you should look for in the US - They're egg-laying hens that lived a long, full life before they were harvested - A good chicken and some salt and pepper are pretty much all you need for good chicken broth, imo. :V

      I grew up in East Africa and when my family returned to the States, I couldn’t eat the chicken. It was bland! Still not my favorite meat, didn’t understand why Americans were so into chicken breasts.
      I then lived in East Asia for a couple years as an adult and saw how much smaller chickens were in the grocery stores.
      I definitely think chickens sold in the US are bred only to be big, and not so much for flavor. Also, they don’t exercise in their factory cubicles and don’t develop muscle the same way. Food in the US is more bland because efficiency and cost-effective industrial production is prioritized. As I heard Jim Lahey say, industrial production of food has prevented starvation for certain populations but it doesn’t produce the best quality.

      You can make it in 20 min with just vegetables (onions, mushrooms, carrots, garlinc, ginger), some kind of store bought broth and soy sauce. Garnish with scallions and an egg. But the fresh meat or fish broth is absolutely worth the time if you are into soups.

    • @jackfruit198
      @jackfruit198 7 лет назад +36

      Bone broth is richer, but if you want something quicker, you can stir fry some ground meat with aromatics before adding water and veggies. You also don't have to premake the toppings. Some veggies can be cooked right into the broth with the correct timing so they're not overcooked. The best thing about Asian noodle soup is that you can make it as fancy or simple as you want.

      I "cheated" and the soup is superb. After roasting the main part, I put them in a crock pot. Essentially, dinner was done being made at noon. 7 hours later, I cooked some Udan noodles and poured my soup over. Plenty for a couple days and it is very satisfying. Very variable too---add chili sauce and it's spicy or add nothing and it's still very flavorful. Then there's soy, Sesame, etc. I added chopped garlic too.

    Great job and yeah this makes total sense. After visiting China to pick up my daughter, they eat noodle soups all day long. Specifically for breakfast.
    Since i've been back, I've gleaned a couple of tweaks to my soups that have been really helpful:
    1. To save time, blanch the greens (like your bok choy) in the boiling noodles.
    2. Pressure cookers are great for speeding up the stock cook length and saves a lot of time and $ due to the cost of your stovetop's fuel source.

Some additions here may help though such as maybe toaster, Toaster Oven, Cuisinart, and InstaPot. Not plugging anything into same outlet at same time.
