"Chef experiments with traditional recipes" should be Sohla's show. Seriously she did such great things for the carbonara episode Edit: Look BA, everyone agrees. Time to kick this into gear!!😁
YALL BETTER GIVE SOHLA THE MONEY AND APPRECIATION SHE DESERVES, if anybody isn't caught up please read this article about the unfair treatment towards the BIPOC at Bon Appetit ( @t )
Sohla should have her own show, should be paid for videos, and should be paid according to her experience. She's a huge benefit to the BA staff and should be treated as such.
Her experience is mostly at fast food chains and a failed restaurant. If she got paid for her actual experience it would be much less than BA already pays her.
FYI derpking has been going to every single video of Sohla and saying this line over and over. A quick look online would prove these statements "Her experience is mostly at fast food chains and a failed restaurant" false. This person is on a mission to spread misinformation.
I am one of the many people that believe that Sohla deserves here own series. She is so talented and very funny. Hoping that BA will give her an opportunity! 💛
I know, right? I want her to have her own show SO MUCH. I hope the BA editorial staff will defect, like the Try Guys, and Sohla will claim her rightful place in the pantheon, own a major share in the new company and keep rocking out. 🙏🙏🙏
Ok so I found some details; there is a thread on reddit with photos of sohla’s ig where she describes how ba only pays the white chefs for their video appearances. I know, Terrible. That is what there’s comments are about.
She does get paid. Is it possible the staff who have worked there much longer, bring the company more money etc, will get paid more than a new staff member? If you believe her ridiculous racist lies that the company paid her nothing because she isn't white then you've got rocks in your head.
@@emboe001 except she has just as much if not more exp than her white counterparts......and they are constantly asking for her help with simple tasks................do your research before waving your racist flag so you don't look like such an idiot fam.
Yes, so very endearing. My ideal never seems to be perfect. I said, “I am constantly seeking that perfect moment.” She said, “How about seeking the perfection in each moment?” Some day, I may take her advice to heart.”
The fact that this genius isn't paid for her video appearances is ridiculous. She has such amazing ideas and executes them with so much precision and passion. She is incredible at her job and D E S E R V E S T O G E T P A I D.
@@jjonvhs.7408 that's not what I said. Obviously she is black. I'm asking if the reason she is paid less is because she is black or if there is another reason. If we look at the wage disparity between men and women, there is a gap. But a significant reason for that gap is that men tend to negotiate higher salaries or better deals. I'm wondering if this is maybe what has happened here. It seems feasible that she has merely failed to negotiate terms that are more beneficial to her. I haven't yet seen any evidence to suggest that the reason she was paid less is because she is black.
am I the only one so happy whenever members of ba kitchen get promoted? before, I knew Sohla as asst. food editor and now! she is the food editor! Congrats dear! btw, I also make my own gyoza's wrap! as well as kimchi filling! taking times but worth it!
@@TheManilaThrilla i thought they are like swapping the titles every now and then, brad for example used to be the manager, now its gaby if im not mistaken
Sohla is my favorite BA chef. I channel her in the kitchen every time I spill flour on the scale, break the oil spout, drop ingredients, lose lids, or tear dough. lol. But seriously though, she's my favorite.
Sohla, you are a shining light of BA, and the food world as a whole. I am amazed by your bravery and courage in speaking out against the mistreatment of BIPOC at BA and the discriminatory pay and practices. Thank you for calling for Rapoport to resign and for bringing light to such important issues. Us fans appreciate you! Wishing you the best through all of this.
And to everyone saying what show they should ‘give’ Sohla, I think Sohla should be able to choose what format she is most passionate about and should be allowed/encouraged to create her own show that makes her most happy and best utilizes her unique skills.
New show with Sohla should be named, "Outside the Sohla System" cuz she's out of this world :D Edit: Thanks for the likes UWU ur all stars in the sohla system
YES. To even further this, she mentioned in her cinnamon bun episode that she tends to go really out of the box recipes and needs to be reeled back down.
I love how lately Sohla has earned her place in the Test Kitchen as "actual cooking genius". I've seen a bunch of video recipes for dumplings and this might be the most comprehensive one in the shortest time.
Sohla obviously didn't research for this vid, I'm rather disappointed. Nothing about texture development in the minced meat, why you might want to use bread-flour instead of all-purpose-fluor, and her roll and wrapping skills were at best those of a complete beginner. The vids by "Chinese Cooking Demystified" or "Souped Up" for example are way more complete and knowledgeable on dumplings.
I love the charming awkwardness and the making sure of stuff and and the team talking in the background and the not quite perfect but still amazing. It’s so nice to see that people are doing the best they can under the circumstances.. like you can see their effort and it’s heartwarming. I like this style of video
It might be heart-warming if I had felt that Sohla had some passion or honestly tried to share a good recipe and knowledge. But she obviously didn't research her subject. Nothing about texture development in the minced meat, why you might want to use bread-flour instead of all-purpose-fluor, and her roll and wrapping skills were those of a complete beginner.

When this whole thing is over she’s getting her own show I will make it happen, I will think it into existence and if we believe hard enough, it’ll happen
@@giselaricotti 🙈❤️ i understand now, reading 'Sohla' over & over again makes my mind a bit wobbly (in addition to the wobbling due to being struck by her charm) lol
Sohla is amazing. She's doing amazing things. Super pleased that she is calling out B.A.'s parent company and advocating for herself and POC within the organization. More Support for Sohla!!!!
I think BA is finally having Sohla present recipes, like last week's date buns, but I don't think it's a series like It's Alive or Back to Back Chef. Adam said they are working on a show though.
BA/Conde Naste NEED to pay ALL of their staff fairly and it is horrible that they have not been paying BIPOC for their appearances in videos. We must demand that they pay all of their staff fairly and back pay staff (such as Sohla) who were not paid for their past appearances.
@@emboe001 She gets paid as an associate editor, which is only 50k a year (in NYC that's barely poverty line). She doesn't get any additional compensation for video appearances while other on-screen (who happen to be white) are compensated.
@@samuelk.7262 Actually, in NYC the poverty line for a single person is at 11,500 dollars. For a family of 4, that's 23,021 dollars. I agree with you, by the way. Just pointing out that this specific fact is wrong.
@@santiagoarce5672 yep i think samuel confused the poverty line for families. but regardless, sohla get screwed. she also said that she had far more experience then other editors who are being compensated far more.
Came here to say I LOVE YOU SOHLA! Your creative and excited energy is something I come back to this channel to watch. I love your diversity in cooking and I truly hope you feel the love we all have for you! Thank you for speaking out against the inequality you’ve faced behind the scenes. I also had to do this here because I took all other social media off my phone last week lol.
Love you Sohla!! I love the positive energy and joy you bring to BA. It's important that you spoke out and best believe BA's viewers are behind you!! Their treatment of POC employees is unacceptable. I will be unsubscribing and not supporting anymore until and unless they make substantial changes and let Adam go. Proud that you know your worth and aren't afraid to talk about these offensive pay discrepancies. Keep it up girl!
FYI Dumplings freeze very easily. First freeze them on sheet trays and then move to a ziploc bag and they stay forever. I made a bunch of dumplings at the beginning of lockdown and now get to enjoy them whenever I feel like.
This. I was always worried about freezing dumplings I only found out about this recently. I've made pork steam buns (steamed then frozen), korean pork and tofu dumplings and Ham Sui Gok or fried crescent dumplings and tonight I'm trying to make Har Gow with coriander. The Ham Sui Gok I was worried wouldn't freeze well raw because of the weird texture of the dough but it worked and they fried up perfectly.
YES, I was hoping someone mentioned this. It's one of my favourite contranyms. It's so cleanly both meanings - some contranyms are a bit of a reach (also known as auto-antonyms if you haven't heard of contranyms.)
Yeah, I'd love to know more about her culinary background and personal heritage - she brings in so many different inspirations and tries so many things. Her videos are always great, and even ones like this one where I'm like "oh I know how to do dumplings" - the skirt slurry? Never seen that before and now I'm going to need to try it.
There's a great place in Toronto called Dumpling House and as the name suggests, their whole menu is dumplings. The first time I went there was the first time I ever had skirted dumplings. Made the mistake of ordering a bunch thinking each order was going to be 3 or 4 dumplings based on previous dumpling orders at other places, turns out they are like a whole sheet pan of dumplings skirted together per each order. Changed my life for the better.
Last time I cried about a person I didn't know was June 8th, 2018 - the day Anthony Bourdain died. Today I cried for the first time since because Sohla deserves respect and love, and she is not getting it. It's heartbreaking. Please be fair to her. She has a kind soul.
@Shelly nope that's not where the comments are going. Priya tends to over emphasize the inspiration/influence of her Indian mom and dad on everything she makes. That's all.
Sohla literally became one of my absolute FAVORITE ba personalities in the very first episode I saw her in! I love her. I would fight for her. She is a queen and I stan.
Seroioulsy? Despite the fact that Sohla obviously didn't research her subject? Nothing about texture development in the minced meat, why you might want to use bread-flour instead of all-purpose-fluor, and her roll and wrapping skills were those of a complete beginner. The vids by "Chinese Cooking Demystified" or "Souped Up" for example are way more complete and knowledgeable on dumplings.
Sohla, the audience loves you so much! We all knew you were a queen, and it hurts so much to hear you aren't appreciated in all your awesomeness. We stand with you Sohla!
i love sohla pls give her her own show (maybe like the traditional vs. modern vs. experimental video and have her do experimental stuff - i was blown away by the carbonara!! and have different BA chefs featured on each episode or something pls)
Sohla is so amazing! Thank you for speaking out and calling for Rapoport’s resignation. I’m still in disbelief that non of the staffers of color have been paid for any of these videos. What can we the viewers do to make this better?
Pro chef move😌 It’s one of the first things we learn at culinary school. As long as you have a good knife and correct grip on what you’re cutting, there’s very little chance of cutting yourself.
As a Chinese, I'm so impressed by Sohla's skill. This type of dumplings is called Guo Tie (锅贴) in Chinese. And the "skirt" she was talking about has a specific term, we call it Xue Hua Guo Tie(雪花锅贴), translated to snow flake dumpling. It's very easy to mess up, either the proportion of the imgridents or the amount of flour water. The skirt or snow flake turns out to be beatiful.
I am not all impressed, she obviously didn't research her subject. Nothing about texture development in the minced meat, why you might want to use bread-flour instead of all-purpose-fluor, and her roll and wrapping skills were those of a complete beginner. The vids by "Chinese Cooking Demystified" or "Souped Up" for example are way more complete and knowledgeable.
i literally JUST made dumplings for the second time in my life two hours ago and I can confirm: Ham's method is a lot easier for newbies. If all else fails just pinch all the life AHEM air bubbles out of them to seal. Sohla's look like dumplings, mine look like golf balls HA
Sohla might actually be my favourite member of the BA Universe. Super relatable, down to Earth and kinda... normal? She needs her own show where she adds skirts onto foods
These looked so good, I was inspired to try them myself. My dough turned out a bit tougher but it still rolled out and cooked OK. The skirt is really good. Kinda difficult to get perfectly crispy without burning but even when it's a bit chewy, the flavor is good. Thanks for the inspiration.
Sohla is literal sunshine on earth, every episode with her just makes me smile... I get so excited to cook watching her, she makes it so approachable!! BA, you have a gem in her!! 🥺
Sohla, your energy is magnetic. I'm always drawn to it! You have something about you that makes it fun to watch you, whether it's knowledge or humor. You're a gem.
Sohla is so talented and creative and wholesome without effort, she 1000% deserves her own show about novelty recipes, or giving a modern twist to classic dishes, she's just a joy to watch.
She's like my cool big sister who knows everything in this world.
She's for sure the cool big sister I aspire to be
I will now count to 3 and then I am still the unprettiest RUclipsr of all time. 1...2...3. Btw I have two very hot girlfriends. Thank you for your attention, dear paderi
Nah, she's like a sweet little sister. And she looks like Cindy Brady.
AxxL 😐 um, what?
Right? Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy when I say she has Big Sister energy!
"Chef experiments with traditional recipes" should be Sohla's show. Seriously she did such great things for the carbonara episode
Edit: Look BA, everyone agrees. Time to kick this into gear!!😁
Sohla's carbonara creation blew my mind.
I agree. That would be a cool series to watch.
Really a creative approach to carbonara!
YES!
She knows the fundamentals for techniques VERY well... best person to set free on experimentation! plus I love sohla.
Can we just take a moment and commend Solah's husband for volunteering to cook for doctors?? I love Solah and now I love her husband too.
Did you notice his jumper? 😂
And her dogs.
IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW HIS NAME IS HAM?? I LOVE HIM

Yeah, I'd love to know more about her culinary background and personal heritage - she brings in so many different inspirations and tries so many things. Her videos are always great, and even ones like this one where I'm like "oh I know how to do dumplings" - the skirt slurry? Never seen that before and now I'm going to need to try it.
Can confirm, the skirt on the potsticker is unorthodox.
the skirt technique is usually used for 生煎包 and not dumplings like these, so she didn't 'invent' that method
@@rubylee9849 I always have accidental skirt but I should make intentional skirt! It's so good with the filling juices! 🤤
Ruby Lee really?? i’ve never seen it on a 生煎包, they’re not laced together they’re usually individual w a dark brown bottom
"Anything can be your dump" - Sohla 2020
“maybe because i’m cheap” felt
Never saw dumplings with a “skirt”, now I can’t wait to make them like that.
For real. I feel like I've been cheated.
I thought exactly the same! Got to make them today. It is worth trying, I am an instant convert.
It’s a Taiwanese thing :)
Really? I thought it was quite common... well, probably because I’m Chinese (by the way, it’s not just a Taiwanese thing).
There's a great place in Toronto called Dumpling House and as the name suggests, their whole menu is dumplings. The first time I went there was the first time I ever had skirted dumplings. Made the mistake of ordering a bunch thinking each order was going to be 3 or 4 dumplings based on previous dumpling orders at other places, turns out they are like a whole sheet pan of dumplings skirted together per each order. Changed my life for the better.
Last time I cried about a person I didn't know was June 8th, 2018 - the day Anthony Bourdain died. Today I cried for the first time since because Sohla deserves respect and love, and she is not getting it. It's heartbreaking. Please be fair to her. She has a kind soul.
Can we talk about the end where she just goes “I don’t have a story about how my mom made these with me”
Lmao the shade tho
yeouch!!
No, we can't; too many triggers ready to be fired off.
@Shelly nope that's not where the comments are going. Priya tends to over emphasize the inspiration/influence of her Indian mom and dad on everything she makes. That's all.
I feel her though, all my cooking was solo too. world smallest violin
Everyone: watches Sohla put a skirt on dumplings
Me: puts a skirt on everything i cook and eat
When Ham came in with the dogs, the mask, the Clementine cap AND he knows how to cook... GET IT QUEEN
Mary and the Sasha grey hoodie sheesh
I was just coming to comment on the awesome clementine cap
@@Fartnella I was trying to workout what that was...I could tell it did not match the wholesome lunch he just made 😅
Here to stand with Sohla and other Bon Apetit BIPOC's fight for equal compensation
Where is her show?
I’m furious.
LIVID even.
She’s creative entertaining intelligent.
She’s. A. Star.
couldnt agree more, she is amazing. BA get it tgt.
she's one of the most precise chefs at BA, i leave her videos feeling like an expert in the food she made
@@Dragonwing16 she's the best chef. Period.
Why are you pretending to find her entertaining? She has very little charisma.
Harpfrmhel ooooofffff big disagree there. I find her incredibly entertaining, I’d love to watch her show.
We need a turkey Salisbury steak with sweet potato mash and minted peas recipe!!!
Asocial Democrat Yes we do.
Yes!!
Salisbury steak won ww1,.
This is so oddly specific
"anything can de your dump" love her so much
Only 5 seconds in but I don’t even need to watch the whole thing to know I already love the video
Mia B anything can be ur dump 🥰
SHE WASN'T PAYED TO DO THESE VIDS?!?! I HOPE THEY ALL GET THEIR JUSTICE.
STAND WITH SOHLA
When Sohla showed her vintage stuff I’m like : That’s gonna be me.
Ba knows how Sohla can lift our spirits up during this dang quarantine!
I love Sohla's calming energy and subtle humor. She's great.
“This is ham, my husband.” Same.
@Sousuke Y Means she really likes some ham
Sohla literally became one of my absolute FAVORITE ba personalities in the very first episode I saw her in! I love her. I would fight for her. She is a queen and I stan.
Everybody else would die for Claire but I would die for Sohla!
Jeremy Warren And I’m over here thinking: “Both?” “Both”
I trust my life to Sohla. But would still die for Claire
@@maejee8189 Same
Claire is creative.
Molly is hot.
Priya is cool.
Sohla is sweet.
They're all special in their own unique way.
@@stdew07 I agree! They have so much more personality than other food channels/magazines.
When the applause came in when Sohla showed her lamb filling, I knew right then and there that this episode was edited by Hunzi.
Christian Renz Torres Yup, same. I was getting Hunzi vibes too.
BA: Sohla-
Me: sold.
BA: but,, but you haven't heard what we have to say yet
Me: Doesn't matter you said Sohla would be there. I'm there.
Seroioulsy? Despite the fact that Sohla obviously didn't research her subject? Nothing about texture development in the minced meat, why you might want to use bread-flour instead of all-purpose-fluor, and her roll and wrapping skills were those of a complete beginner. The vids by "Chinese Cooking Demystified" or "Souped Up" for example are way more complete and knowledgeable on dumplings.
I swear to everything. Humans were put upon this Earth to figure out just how many different ways there are to fry bread.
Sohla, the audience loves you so much! We all knew you were a queen, and it hurts so much to hear you aren't appreciated in all your awesomeness. We stand with you Sohla!

"You can stick anything in your dumps"
This was almost..... almost as chaotic as Brad,
and I’m totally here for it 🙋🏽♀️
Sohla: I think this will be good. It’ll make it approachable to people.
Ham: *watching you fail??*
Hahaha honestly thoooo
Honestly, that's why people love watching Claire do Gourmet Makes.
Its basically the whole premise of Its Alive with Brad
That's the USP of half of BA's videos.
@@nicklee573 I don't enjoy Brad's videos though 🤷🏻♀️
@@canuckkat It's ok. There's nothing wrong with being cold and dead inside.
I love Sohla and how just unfiltered she is, she's like "oh yeah this is a mess but eh whatever let's continue IT'S GONNA BE GREAT"
clonchi as Bob Ross would say, “A happy accident”
Sohla is my favorite, she’s like a young hip barefoot contessa
“It’s gonna be okay. I’m mostly convincing myself at this point.”
Same, Sohla. Saaaame 😩
"Anything can be your dump"
I'm Chinese and I approve this message.
i love sohla pls give her her own show (maybe like the traditional vs. modern vs. experimental video and have her do experimental stuff - i was blown away by the carbonara!! and have different BA chefs featured on each episode or something pls)
Sohla is so amazing! Thank you for speaking out and calling for Rapoport’s resignation. I’m still in disbelief that non of the staffers of color have been paid for any of these videos. What can we the viewers do to make this better?
we can at least unsubscribe until they change
Sohla is quickly becoming my favourite BA chef! Pure talent man. Love it.
Can we talk about how sohla continued cutting the scallions while staring into the camera
idkgiana real Andy vibes lmao
Pro chef move😌 It’s one of the first things we learn at culinary school. As long as you have a good knife and correct grip on what you’re cutting, there’s very little chance of cutting yourself.
"Anything can be your dump" - Sohla El-Waylly 2020
Love seeing so much Sohla lately. She’s a treasure. 🥺
As a Chinese, I'm so impressed by Sohla's skill. This type of dumplings is called Guo Tie (锅贴) in Chinese. And the "skirt" she was talking about has a specific term, we call it Xue Hua Guo Tie(雪花锅贴), translated to snow flake dumpling. It's very easy to mess up, either the proportion of the imgridents or the amount of flour water. The skirt or snow flake turns out to be beatiful.
I am not all impressed, she obviously didn't research her subject. Nothing about texture development in the minced meat, why you might want to use bread-flour instead of all-purpose-fluor, and her roll and wrapping skills were those of a complete beginner. The vids by "Chinese Cooking Demystified" or "Souped Up" for example are way more complete and knowledgeable.
JUST when i thought I was at peak love of Sohla, we get to see the vintage advertisement art and I'm falling for her all over again.
i literally JUST made dumplings for the second time in my life two hours ago and I can confirm: Ham's method is a lot easier for newbies. If all else fails just pinch all the life AHEM air bubbles out of them to seal. Sohla's look like dumplings, mine look like golf balls HA
So true! They will still be delicious even if they are a little.. unique.
The unsung heros of all these BA videos are the editors. Thank you for your creativity and fun too! BA videos always bring me joy without fail.
Sohla might actually be my favourite member of the BA Universe. Super relatable, down to Earth and kinda... normal? She needs her own show where she adds skirts onto foods
Rowan Bae BA universe?😂
These looked so good, I was inspired to try them myself. My dough turned out a bit tougher but it still rolled out and cooked OK. The skirt is really good. Kinda difficult to get perfectly crispy without burning but even when it's a bit chewy, the flavor is good. Thanks for the inspiration.
Sohla is so perfect. Her personality is a joy. I want to be her best friend.
"It's definitely recording, right?"
Ah, so that's what happened to Claire's footage.
Sohla is literal sunshine on earth, every episode with her just makes me smile... I get so excited to cook watching her, she makes it so approachable!! BA, you have a gem in her!! 🥺
Sohla, your energy is magnetic. I'm always drawn to it! You have something about you that makes it fun to watch you, whether it's knowledge or humor. You're a gem.
So proud of you Sohla for standing up for yourself and all the other BIPOC members
I hope Sohla is having a good day, I enjoy her so much
her calming energy is everything
Who is here so early only because it’s quarantine and you just never left...
I have watched Claire gourmet make so many things
It's the societally-condoned excuse for a lazy bones staycation.
@j mula your life sucks.
Sohla really shines in this episode, and Ham, ah, what a great dumpling folder! this is excellent content.
Sohla is so talented and creative and wholesome without effort, she 1000% deserves her own show about novelty recipes, or giving a modern twist to classic dishes, she's just a joy to watch.
"I always like the two-for-one thing, maybe 'cause I'm cheap."

And this is such a *M O O D*
