About the Swiss chard turning brown: Adding vinegar to greens will destroy the chlorophyll and make the greens turn brown. Adding baking soda will make the greens stay green and even makes them brighter!
Hello Imamu! I didn't know japoneese people would eat swiss chard! We have a lot of it in France, here's a little recipe for the stems : boil them just like you did with a bit of salt. When cooked, mix them with some white sauce (the one you use to bake your creamy seafood croquettes is perfect :)) then, grill that in the oven with some mozzarella cheese on the top to make a gratin, it's really delicious ^^ thank you for this new video, take care!!
Ah, likely the swiss chard with pretty color that you wanted is called "rainbow swiss chard" -- it is it's own variety of swiss chard, and you'll see it has brightly colored stems before cooking. Taste is the same though, so you didn't miss much. ☺More often, people grow it themselves or find at farmers markets; I don't often see it in grocery stores (but I am in the U.S.).
It is so much fun to cook with young sous chefs. At our pre-school, the kids us help prepare bento at least twice a week. They grow their own rainbow chard in the school garden for the rice balls.
If you can find halloumi cheese, try that and wrap with ham or sausage. It doesn't melt and tastes lovely fried, better than before it is fried when it mostly tastes like salt.
@@boogermaiden healthier? Seriously? All that salt? And it's still milk fats, as opposed to just carbs with unsalted potato fries... I guess if you're doing Atkins/low carb diets, it'd be a good option.
I just wanted to say, your videos have given me new life! I used to love cooking but life and chronic illness happened, and I stopped for a long time. Watching you cook always inspires me, especially because you show the 'imperfect' moments, yet your meals are still full of love and look delicious. Your videos are peaceful to watch, I love the moments with you husband and daughter, and your commentary always makes me giggle! I've remembered why I love cooking and I'm excited to cook for others again. ❤
Early bird after so long! Now that I have my own little one, I appreciate the cooking and home life inspo that Imamu provides. I want to make beautiful bento someday for when my kiddo starts school! Thank youuuuuuuu.
Your videos are always so relaxing and fun - and funny! Also, I noticed that your daughter has grown so much since you started making videos. It really shows how much time has passed.
Your use of "whatchamacallit" really puts into perspective your humility with your English level. I think you may be suffering from the Dunning-Krueger effect, where you vastly underestimate your ability because you know enough to realize that there is a lot to learn. Very endearing.
The family time at the end was so sweet! I still cherish the times my mom lets me help her in the kitchen, oh and you might like the fried dumpling with some cheese or minced beef fillings,(or both) in brazil we have a bigger version with various fillings but the concept is basically the same!
Your video help me with my depression each time you post. Thank you so much you can't imagine how much I'm grateful. Sometime I don't have the notifications but wenn I finely find your video it's a joy
When I first started watching you cook your little girl was still almost a baby. Now she is so big and helping you cook. She is growing up! 娘さん大きくなりましたね。お手伝いもして。
I know I'm a few days late on this, but I wanted to wait until today to watch this. For over a year its been my tradition to watch your videos on my homeroom class in high school, and this is actually my last homeroom before I graduate and leave. I really worried that I wouldnt get to watch another one before I graduated, so this is really convenient timing! Thank you so much for sharing your life and food with us! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Your videos are so comforting to me. It reminds me of growing up because my parents came from Japan and I grew up in the States! The way your family talks to each other is exactly how we used to talk 😍❤️
Thank you for sharing these moments with us. I didn’t have a happy family growing up so it’s very heartwarming to watch your videos. You guys seem like the cutest happy little family ❤
I just would like to thank you so much, it may seem dumb but your videos are so relaxing and happy they helped me get through my semester, I approved all my courses! Wish you and your family an amazing week
when you eat daikon salad, the salmon and the fried tako and the sandines pocket, thats looks so good. especially the crunch of the salad. and maam, your husband coment about Dr. stone, he is one cultured man that he is. respect.
Imagine working a tough shift and then it gets to lunch you open it and it looks like how she made it. INSTANT HAPPINESS BEFORE YOU TASTE IT! I wanna cook for my husband like that when I get married! You are such an inspiration thank you for all your hard work! God bless you and Jesus loves you.❤
I have things to do, maybe some calls and organise some things for the new week. Did I stopped doing everything just to see this video and relax? *Yes, I did!!!*
Try blanching the chard leaves rather than boiling to keep the color😊. Love that you try, so may different lunch ideas. Your husband is blessed to have you.
Sweet, you have a big helper daughter now, shares your activities in the morning. A big part of her growing up and exemplifies her comfort. 🙏🌺 Wonderful.
I just got back from work and watching this channel makes my stress go away, I feel so relaxed and chill, it is heaven! Thanks for working hard another week for Husbento ^^ I always look forward to another video
I tried to make the rice and chard balls, they were delicious but kind of didn’t stick together so good! Thank you for the amazing lunch inspirations!!!
Imamu!! Your English has improved so much since I first started watching your videos a few years ago~ 🥰 Watching your family interact brings a sense of healing. No one ever taught me to cook, so I hope to follow along with your recipes someday when I have a proper kitchen to learn in...💧 (already 26 lol)
Imamu - most colourful veggies like purple beans, purple/black tomatoes, colourful chards and even blueberries and purple sweet potatoes have compounds called anthocyanins. These colourful compounds break down when boiled or cooked, so the beans turn green usually and chard usually goes a bit brown. Purple tomatoes have a similar muddy colour when cooked. 😅 They still taste great!
That crunch at 3:10 sounded amazing haha. Honestly I love shelving units to help organise cupboards, you did a wondeful job arranging it all! That capelin and fresh tomato sauce looked soo good, my mouth was watering.
Hi Imanu, your videos bring me great joy. Today's video felt extra special. Love seeing the beautiful family bonding together and how much your daughter is growing. ❤❤❤
Swiss chard often turns brown when boiled in an aluminum pan due to some chemical reactions! I reccomend using a different pan or using red Swiss chard since the browning doesn't end up too bad. Imamu makes the cutest bentos! ❤
Lots of fish this week! I liked Fridays bento box the best. I’m with you daughter with the little fishes and roe! I don’t like eating fish with the innards inside and I’m a grown woman! 😊❤️🇨🇦
i haven't had one of your videos show up for months, and finally seeing them is so nice! your daughter has grown so much, and i love the way your family interacts, it's so wholesome. also your husband sharing being an otaku with your daughter was really funny and cute
Omg Ping Pong's also one of my and my bf's favorite anime, and we're currently watching the new ongoing season of Dr. Stone! Ping Pong's not that famous but it's definitely underrated! Hope more people will watch it.
Dude I’m watching this in the big fat playlist of all 53 of em and it’s great I’m writing a summary on a passage and this is the best background noise for home work, we love these videos Imamu, thank you❤ They truly never get old😂🎉
Your video's make me smile. I look forward to them every time. And watch them drinking a nice cup of tea. And they are a great inspiration for my own bento's. Thank you very much for sharing all your lovely cooking with us!
I'm feeling nostalgic today seeing your daughter grown up. I was like she was little just yesterday when I started watching your videos and now she is tall and going to school 🤧❤️
I had hard time focusing on studies due to nearing finals and mental burnout, thank you imamu for posting on the write time and your videos cheer me so much ❤❤❤
You give me so much inspiration for my husband's bento box! I use to always make his lunch but for the last few weeks in my pregnancy I had to give the job to him. I really miss making his lunch. I'm definitely going to try those chard rice ball wraps, they look delicious 🤤
Lovely post! A lot of coloured vegetables lose their colour when boiled. I remember the first time I bought purple cabbage and boiled it like I did green cabbage. All the pretty colour vanished! I was shocked. No one told me. I love chard, but I usually just boil it briefly an eat it with butter, salt and pepper.
I love your videos! Thanks to you I got back into cooking. The last few couple of months I felt uninspired and lost fun in cooking due to inflation. Now I am slowly getting back into it, trying to cook cheap but delicious food inspired by your videos
Bro I don't even cook but this makes me feel like getting up and making a lunch for myself or for just anybody! Cooking seems so therapeutic I wish I can reach this level someday.
You daughter helping u and ur husband talking about anime and stuff at the end was way too pure
And the surprise photoshoot! So cute and heartwarming
@@ana_d_73 yesss!! Her videos make me feel sooo happy
frrrr! we stan dr stone
ideal couple ❤❤
GUYS DROP EVERYTHING IMAMU ROOM POSTED 🎉
Exactly
Had to share the news before I dropped everything 😁
I DID I DID YESSSSSSSSSS
EVERYTHING IS YEETED OFF THE WINDOW, PRIORITIES
I stopped doing the dishes and sat down to watch immediately.❤
Imamu: "I am not detail oriented"
Also Imamu: *routinely comes up with the most creative and aesthetically pleasing bentos*
i always appreciate how imamu manages to fit SO MUCH FOOD into each bento. she really surprised me with the capellin bento.
She seems to defy physics every time
Yesss i’m so curious like does it get squashed?
must be the power of moms 💪💪
@@-mirsken- it looks like the lid has some extra room in it, but it probably gets squished a little anyway lol

Ah mais c'est des bleeeeettes je me disais aussi!
@@cendrecovfefe2496 oui ce sont des côtes de blettes, en tout cas je crois :D
@@amandinevillard2977 je vais essayer, ça changera du gratin!
I've started making bento for myself and my girlfriend because of this series! My girlfriend is very happy and I am very grateful for Imamu's recipes.
The at home izakaya at the end was so heartwarming 🥹
And now your daughter is helping you in the kitchen. Thats cute. 🥰🥰
Your daughter’s little drawings of Nijntje on your refrigerator make my heart so happy 😭🙏🏼❤️
Why do I love watching a housewife cooking bento boxes for her husband, I dunno but it's very very stress relieving.

Taste is the same though, so you didn't miss much. ☺More often, people grow it themselves or find at farmers markets; I don't often see it in grocery stores (but I am in the U.S.).

If you can find halloumi cheese, try that and wrap with ham or sausage. It doesn't melt and tastes lovely fried, better than before it is fried when it mostly tastes like salt.
Also it's firm enough to make as healthier fries! And goes well with eggs and ham!
Maybe paneer cheese too? It may be a bit more fragile, I cook it as cubes about 1.5cm across.

Looks so yummy. Thanks for sharing. Your daughter is growing up--love how you include her while maintaining her privacy. Well done.
Thank you for helping us all survive another week! You make a lot of people very happy with your videos 🙂

Hi Imanu, your videos bring me great joy. Today's video felt extra special. Love seeing the beautiful family bonding together and how much your daughter is growing. ❤❤❤
When you showed the pictures from the instant camera, it brought back fond memories. I remember playing with one when I was a child, too 😊
It's 7am here and a Imamu Room video is a great way to start the day!!
Swiss chard often turns brown when boiled in an aluminum pan due to some chemical reactions! I reccomend using a different pan or using red Swiss chard since the browning doesn't end up too bad. Imamu makes the cutest bentos! ❤

Omg Ping Pong's also one of my and my bf's favorite anime, and we're currently watching the new ongoing season of Dr. Stone! Ping Pong's not that famous but it's definitely underrated! Hope more people will watch it.

Your videos always brighten my day! God bless you! Thank you❤
Very entertaining and everything looks delicious ❤❤❤
Imamu 🎉❤ I’ve waited to watch a fresh video! I’m gonna try a recreate a dish. Not my culture but I’m pretty sure it’s amazing tasting.
