Not only did he manage to pull it off but he also managed to change shirts and get a haircut during the cooking process.
And also he didn't have to go to Japan, to learn from Chef Moto personally, or go to a farm and pick out the best eggs, or go to a skillet factory and forge his own skillet from scratch, and then make his own chopsticks to go with the perfect pan, and then adapt a stove from parts he shipped in from china, and build it with scrap metal, and then finally make an omelet breaking down the science of albumin structure on blue fridge theory.
@@lewismaddock1654 In the next episode, he learns how to make eggs himself, from master chicken.
@@lewismaddock1654 LOL!!! You're right! It is very unusual that we didn't go through the normal process.
Also about three different watches i think
@@MarcoDaporta Blue shirt + 2 pair of black watches, or atleast at different places, Blue shirt+ brown watches, Gray shirt with black watches and Gray shirt with brown watches
Years ago the journey for the result was not forced, it was genuine. You were researching in real time and sharing your research with us. And now you don't really research, just fool around to imitate journeys we all liked years ago.
I personally would like to see something different now, not the same format which you Alex yourself clearly don't enjoy anymore. There are guys that make researches a lot better like Ethan Chlebowski etc. But I like your visuals and esthetics and would maybe like to see something more like the ramen series, especially the working and serving part.
What I really want to say is that I want to enjoy watching your videos, but it is only possible if you enjoy making them yourself Alex. Salut
Yeah, this time felt especially forced. Him pretending to not know how to make an omelette at the start of the video, deliberately massively overcooking it. And pretending to be surprised that heat might be important. It's not the first time he's faked the journey, but this time felt especially egregious, like he thinks we're complete idiots.
this
@@mrwho995 We know he's got skills as a chef, well beyond that first attempt! Especially since he was up to the standards of Jacques Pepin in the past. Episodes like this are a bit too contrived. I love Alex's DIY explorations and experimental spirit, when it comes from a genuine place... Like hacking into the controls of an oven or 3d printing parts to make his own machine...Or just really trying to get to the bottom of something, without the act.
@@mrwho995 Agreed. That massively overcooked omelette at the start was clearly him pretending to be an average home cook and not the practiced cook that we know him to be.
He's trying to follow the old format while clearly not doing any of the leg work he used to do. The whole channel just feels phoned in and has since at least the end of the ramen series almost a year ago now.
I get you wanna tell a story with the video, but you can't tell me that you didn't know that the right heat and timing is important from the start.
True. Not every video has to start from point zero. It's like he is not taking into account all the other culinary adventures he's had.
I liked it. And I learned a lot. Its nice that I didn't get lost and I feel like he made the mistakes I would have made.
@@adamwilson2345 He could have skipped the initial bit and still told the audience why he was using an increased heat and how it impacts the timing of cooking the eggs. Teaching while accepting the fact that he has learned a lot and can apply that knowledge.
yeah it's just for the show. it's all planned beforehand to make a good story. he's a youtuber after all.
It was obvious from the first omlette that he was leaving it over the heat too much. Even with this editing, the thing I noticed was that the japanese chef took the pan off the heat when he was flipping the omlette, and he was way overcooking his eggs.... Basics, basics, basics....
i was kinda dissapointed that Alex didn't make a fried rice and demiglace to complete the omurice. What was the point of the fried rice and mother sauces series!
Well, his latest videos are getting less and less interesting unfortunately 😢
You're better than this, Alex.
There was no need to force this video.
Thank you for your excellent comment. I think he just ignores us.
I don't get it. What do you mean by this exactly?
?
Now I understand and I say Bravo Sir if your a lad and Bravo Mss if your a woman !
@@hidde3064just read other comments. This creator fell off
Still one thing you're missing Alex. Sieve the egg through a fine mesh strainer. It will help with the texture and uniformity 😉
Still step is very underrated, but essential.
Fuiyoh!
Also super fresh eggs
@@Ravenblues goes without saying 😉
You have taught me more than this.
C'mon man! You did a whole series on french omelettes and you expect everyone to believe that you can't manage a basic one without burning it in your attempt to tell a "story?" It's not a huge step from french omelette to omurice without ending up with grey over cooked eggs. I hope you find some "better help" in getting your mojo back.
If anything it would've been more interesting to make the video about the entire omurice dish itself. I mean it basically combines 3 series he has made before into a single dish, dunno why he gotta do the drama of learning to cook the eggs from scratch.
Yeah sadly since he started with the more "cinematic" videos, the quality of the information content dropped a lot. He is slowly turning into another brainrot channel :/
@@Mobin92 It hurts my soul that I have to agree
YESSS, THIS! 😒
For a moment, I thought this was going to start Alex's adventures in Japan, on the way to meet Chef Motokichi.
Like Uncle did...
Even uncle roger did a better video than alex. Disappointing.
That was prime alex unfortunately
You're not fooling anyone with those first two attempts Alex, the first time I tried this I did better :)
He makes a big deal about learning how to make an omelette and meet Jacques and learns a tip from him… and then purposely burns the next one to setup a video. “Oh no. I underestimated the Japanese omelette!!”
Needs to create content even though there's nothing inside...
Try it and film it lets see you get it not overcooked the first time. You clearly dont understand what hes trying to do, a firm skin but thin skin, and moist inside. Its a steep gradiente. Lets see you do it bozo.
What's happening to this channel?
This channel was my favorite a year or two ago (mother sauce series, pasta series, ramen series etc) but now I find that the quality, the ideas, the storyline... don't really make sense anymore. What happened to the great ideas and quality of this channel.
PS: and for the ads, people have been complaining for I don't know how many videos but nothing changes.
PS2: the views on the vids are lower than before, wonder why...
Because it seems like he is acting
Because he doesn’t care. He’s already very rich and is just milking whatever he can until the channel dies. All his videos are getting a ton of dislikes and have been for quite a while. He clearly doesn’t have an inspiration for new and exciting content, so he just does random topics related to cooking. All that matters is that he can squeeze another sponsorship in.
for example. uncle rogor launched video with similar topic just few days ago. (not saying the contents are the same)
We're just going to ignore that he is intentionally overcooking it, evidenced by the difference in browning between jump shots. But I suppose we need drama for a good video.
He's doing it because he always tries to make his videos into stories, which is usually not bad thing, but i agree that in this video it was a little bit forced tho
Sure but from an amateur viewpoint one of the most educational thing about Alex's videos is seeing every pitfall imaginable when it comes to cooking. What some find obvious might not be so clear to someone else.
Surely you weren't under the impression that we all believed he routinely fails at every new thing he attempts in every way possible before eventually succeeding? Of course it's faked to a certain extent. That's how most popular edutainment works these days.
Are you not entertained?
Yes, this all felt a bit staged and inauthentic.
@@juho020202 Then maybe he should point them out instead of acting it badly and making unnecessary drama out of self-explanatory stuff..
I agree with so many here. Alex is phoning it in. This is not up to the standards of past video series, of what attracted 2+ million subs. Alex, maybe you need a break, maybe a reset, maybe some perspective, but the last few videos are really not what we came here to see. I hope you find the time and passion to do better. I look forward to what comes next, as long as it really pushes you, challenges you, and it's a real journey. If i were you, I'd delete this video, apologize, and show us the real Alex. Salut.
Agree, but even then he did a 'reset' a couple of years ago, has invested in a whole new kitchen set up and yet the content quality has still nose dived. It just doesn't feel genuine anymore, it is contrived and deliberately and unconvincingly melodramatic. Also agree with another comment that I'm pretty close to unsubbing AGAIN - I unsubbed at the start of the fried rice series cos he was just making a mountain out of a molehill - all the contributions from experts said "just use whatever left overs you have in the fridge - that's what fried rice is all about" - Alex proceeded with angsty editing and posturing and makes a whole series out of it. This was, I believe, the beginning of the end of this channel but I came back to give it another shot. It has really got to improve to keep its audience.
I think that the sponsor is ironically not helpful with what needs to be done and this is Alex's cry for genuine depression without us actually knowing it. As much as there is fantastic stuff out on the Internet, I think that Alex is losing sight of genuine curiosity and is chasing whatever is popular at the moment. From what I could tell, all of the cooking channels that I have been subbed to have lost my attention and interest for this reason. A lot of the content that I have been seeing feels more... corporatized.
Perhaps this explains his diversification of money as his channel needs to support a team of people. He needs a separate channel that gives him a way to express his creative freedom... like a channel that dives into the process of his engineering marvels for cooking, as he has been stuck in a creative backsliding situation. He also needs a channel to vent his frustrations. He can keep his "Cooking" channel and "Engineering" channel separate and be unified with what fascinating stuff there is out on the market for the average home cook.
If there is a shred of inspiration that needs to come out, it is the fact that Alex needs to move himself away from eggs in general (as unfortunate as this seems), as he has put all of his eggs into one basket, which is this channel (metaphorically and literally). He is in fact trapped by the RUclips algorithm and stuck creatively.
Complètement d’accord avec toi comme on dit en français c’est du réchauffé il est loin le temps où on suivait un réelle aventure comme celle de la mozzarella avec de vrai expérience et pas un montage comme celui la. Dommage aussi de de retrouver dans ce studio tout asceptisé où sont passé les perceuses l’imprimante 3D le blue fridge.. on est presque revenu au début de la chaîne avec les recettes. J’exagère mais le RUclips game commence à lessiver cette chaîne. Je suis près à attendre plusieurs semaine pour de bon contenu comme à un certain moment de la chaîne. Keep it real
The cinematic / professional videos ironically ruined this channel. Now it's not about genuine information about cooking anymore, and instead just flashy effects and storytelling :(
Hard but there's no other way to tell the truth
A lot of attack in these comments but just remember how hard life can be guys.
Really enjoyed your videos in the past alex and look forward to seeing some more great content. Hope you are sleeping well and looking after yourself.
Its very hard to be a genuine person and not promote scammers who sell very private and personal info.
Man this channel is going downhill. Questionalable ads aside, he's treating every dish now like noob without any prior knowledge (unlike his old videos where he did some research before attempting the dish and explain it on the blue fridge). Also talk about inconsistency, the video progress with him changing different shirts and then suddenly cut his hair and back to him with long hair. Such a pity Alex, have been watching you throughout thr past 6-7 years.
Yeah, it's such a shame. I think I'm one more bad video away from just completely forgetting about this channel. It just isn't good anymore.
Not to mention at 2:00 he cuts from the pan with a slightly overcooked but at least "neat and tidy" omelet with nothing stuck to the pan, to attempting to dump a bunch of rubbery eggs stuck to a completely messy pan. They're not the same omelet. That's just lazy editing.
It’s always been the case. The “answer” he claims to discover at the end is usually a couple of google searches away. Mostly he researches it reads/watches about out how it’s done then has a first couple of attempts where he really hams up how wrong he gets it. Then makes a couple of intentional missteps where he goes totally in the wrong direction, then finally “discovers” the correct way to do it (which he would have known from the beginning by doing a few minutes of research). This video is actually not as bad from that perspective as he definitely would have had to make a lot of omelettes to perfect the technique - which is definitely a difficult one to master.
is the poor guy not allowed a haircut?
That sip of coffee at 8:56 was an empty cup right?
This shit is so sad jesus christ
Also look at his sad puppy lifeless eyes, what happened to our man...
@@MegaChickenPunch Maybe he should use some BetterHelp that he's trying to push onto his viewers.
Yes, thank You! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I thought something is weird 😄
not only was it empty its also crusted over with old dried up coffee residue
Followed that 'sip' was the core message of the video: "I realized that if I want real progress to happen, I need to think again"
Cant believe you are still partnering with BetterHelp 😢
They may not know
He's probably fixed into a certain number of partner videos. Breaking a contract could get you blacklisted from future sponsorships, not just from the same company but others as well. Hopefully once he's done with the contract required number of videos we don't see them again.
Better Help is predatory and shit, but, they are pretty aggressive in offering up creator partnerships, and pay well. As much as I hate it, I can understand when creators take a deal to keep the $ rolling in, particularly if it's attractive and they're naive to just how bad the company is (might not learn just how bad they are until after signing the contract).
What happened with betterhelp?
Case Summary
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a proposed order to settle charges that online counseling service BetterHelp revealed consumers' sensitive data with third parties such as Facebook and Snapchat for advertising after promising to keep such data private. Mar 2, 2023
i can't believe someone who can make a french omelet can fail that hard on the first try
I was pretty good at making french omelettes but after a year of not cooking it, my first try was also relly bad. Also a carbon steel pan can make this extra difficult
If you notice the omelet he cooks in the pan is not the same one he dumps from the pan into the plate. Jump cut from a neat and tidy omelet in the pan to a sticky mess he tries to pour onto the plate at 2:00. This is just sad.
he does it for the drama effect and its cringe AF.
So you prefer a 3 min video. Of course he can do it. Actually I'm sure that he tried and learn it before starting to shoot the video itself. This is just a scenario.
@@thenewexeptor of course I prefer a 3 min video, quality over quantity my whole life.
Getting concerning. Still with the scam sponsors, and man who breathes omelettes suddenly forgets how to make scrambled eggs for the "content".
Cope. Nobody is telling you to use em.
@@dadsquatch79 Alex is telling us to use them.
@ oh, so you're a zombie who can't think for himself?
@@dadsquatch79 Personally, I think there's a responsability to not share potentially harmful info when you have a large following, especially when dealing with topics such as mental health. Some people are in a delicate place. You may think otherwise.
@ I do. Think for yourself. If Alex suddenly started advertising for Nike, I'm not gonna go out and buy some shoes because "he told me to". God, you people are soft
i really hope this was just a set up video and we get the pay off in the coming days. this feels like a half-assed emulation of a show and format hundreds of thousands of people enjoyed.
BetterHelp yet again. They must be paying real good
Just skip it, nobody forces you to click the link
And I bet that helps him :D
It's called a contract
Alex is literally taking money away from betterhelp by taking a sponsorship 😂
@@matthewgiallourakis7645Thats Not how sponsorships Work. He generates them more Money then He gets. Otherwise they wouldnt make another Sponsoring
These used to be some of the best cooking videos on RUclips. Now it's "Hey, heat is important when cooking an omelette, here's BetterHelp.". Shame really.
Like 2+ million others I love you Alex, but you really should look more closely into BetterHelp.
You mean the security stuff?
Why don't you tell what he should look at instead? What's the problem with being sponsored by "better help"? Please tell us as you seem to know something...
@@IronFreeeit’s a scam, that’s what. Google some reviews
It's called having a contract. Everyone complains about the ads but doesn't understand the first thing about actually having a sponsor.
Who cares ?
That used to be a nice channel. It seems that when the numbers went up, the businessman kicked in and the engineer went out, along with the passion.
There is also a quality ratchett . That as a creator you find that each needs to be better than the last. Tom Scott talked about it in a podcast. That leaves goofy stuff in the past if you start to take yourself too seriously.
Something that he said in a video while teaching omurice, you need to sift the egg
I liked the final succesful sequence. The rest of the video felt stretched, though. I think a few pieces of advice what to do and what to avoid are useful, but all could have been squeezed in half this time, without showing extremely dry and overcooked omelettes.
I'd guess it's a bit of throw-away and stretched video to fulfil an inconvenient sponsor contract and have it done quicker.
Better help sponsorship? Skipping this vid
Is there going to be an ultimate compilation video now? One where you break out the custom Wok stove to make your perfected Fried Rice, break out the custom copper pan to make your perfected Demi-glace, then combine them with the perfected Omelette making skills and try to have Yukimura Motokichi himself give it a taste?
From my experience, one of the most important things to make a good omurice is a pan with high heat conductivity. You need to have both high heat and the ability to quickly lower it. So no stainless or heavy skillet.
After that, you need to slightly scramble it when it's still runny, let it sit a bit, separate the edges from the pan and then fold.
You don't have to do the fancy flip, you can shape it on the edge and then roll it over.
True. I've come to the same conclusions, but the high heat conductivity might not be necessary, as both Motokichi's signature skillets are pretty thick and made of iron.
@@Mattvieir It probably helps a lot though if you aren't skilled enough yet to do it quickly. You can create the thin skin on high heat, take the pan off the fire, and then have a lot of time to do the folding without stressing.
Shame, Alex! By this time should have learned already 99,99% of Asian cooking is based on short controlled bursts of heat the hell would envy
lol.. hows your channel going?
@@aarondavidson6409 perfect! Thank you for the genuine interest 🤗
@@aarondavidson6409 stop with the asslicking cringelord
Really? Betterhelp?
Can you just enjoy the video? You are NOT paying betterhelp by watching the video, betterhelp is paying alex to let you enjoy it. That’s it.
@@riccardotonetti8391 He might as well advertise porn sites, drugs, alcohol, tobacco and guns. Those pay well.
Really? Cope hard.
@@Avetarxthen you will complain more lol
@@Avetarxmegahyperbole
That laddle of demiglace is worth the price alone. I made a demiglace and it was a lot of work for a cup of product.
I never have time to make true demi-glace at home, so I do the quick/cheat version.
@@danieldonathan3361 I use an ultrasonic cleaner to make stock.
It's much easier to buy some real, low salt beef stock and reduce it.
The French guy doesn’t have any demi glacé in the freezer. C’mon, finish what you started
3:26 "This is the movement I missed a few seconds ago" Alex, brother...homie. you are wearing a different watch.
remebering a video of a chef that found out the eggs have a broth in them, if you look at the colour of his egg mixture BEFORE they hit the pan, they have a BROWN shade to them, indicating a beef stock was added to the eggs to make it a thinner mixture, allowing for more time in the pan without cooking completely solid as fast.
This is interesting! Wasn't that just a different kind of egg? There are some Japanese eggs with many different properties. Do you have the link of the video?
Alex, you are good at what you do. It’s gotten to the point that I feel like you “struggle” to create the story for us and then the triumph.
Maybe I am giving you too much credit?
Love your videos anyway hahaha
Please drop the Better Help contract. Almost all contracts can be nullified without consecuences when one party is shown to be dishonest and does not provide whats advertised
Cope
@@dadsquatch79 Well, at least you give better mental health advice than Better Help.
@@dadsquatch79 spamming lifeless boomer get a hike jesus christ
My girlfriend and I really jived with an anime where a dish of omurice was used as a gag. She went out of town for a business trip for the weekend, and I legitimately spent nearly every waking moment from friday to sunday practicing Kichi Kichi's omu rice dish, complete with demi glace and all. While I think that I am a pretty decent amateur cook, I can confidently say that perfecting his japanese omelette was the most difficult culinary undertaking I ever tried.
Camera operator is happy that he doesn't have to eat anymore of the failed omlettes.
Alex, I am sorry to have to add to the negative comments. You have done very well in your older videos, which is why I subscribed. In the last 3 years, you have produced about 2 videos a year that I enjoy watching. At the beginning of your channel, you released a good video about every week. You were much lower budget and more creative then, which is why I enjoyed them. Now you seem to be going posh and dining out where I don't think I will ever go to. Also some of your series seem to end abruptly, without a conclusion or takeaway on what you learned. I understand that you may be exhausted and don't have the same drive you did a few years ago. If you want to keep subscribers like me, herr are some suggestions. Make a few more episodes to complete the croissant, ramen and Mother sauce series. Travel to the tropics and harvest cocoa beans and finish your chocolate series. Do more improvising cooking similar to your lock down potatoes and ramen. Also outdoor cooking in the mountains. I know you can't please everyone, but if you want your channel to stop going downhill, ask us what we want too see!
The croissant and mother sauce series are complete. If you look at the playlists he makes it clear in the videos they're the last episodes. Ramen, yeah, not sure what happened to that one.
@@mrwho995 They may be completed as much as Alex intends to, but I feel that he didn't wrap up the loose ends. For example he built a cool croissant rolling machine, but I don't remember him actually making a batch of croissants with it. The sauces series, he did not go yo Italy and learn about sauce tomate like he referred to in his podcast.
@@wyattholm5720 Yeah fair point, looking back I can remember thinking some of his series ended a bit abruptly
The crazy thing with Sensei Motokichis Omurice is... that every. single. one. Is the same. He truly mastered making this Dish and its incredible. I dont know if you already did it or planned to do it but if you can i highly recommend you travel to Japan and give it a try. I ate it once on a trip to Japan and it blew me away how good it was.
I'm hoping Alex has taken the constructive criticism to heart and is rethinking things a bit. Hopefully he's doing okay and not taking things too personally, but if Alex takes a few weeks or months to refocus on what made the channel great in the first place then I think it'll be much better for him in the long run.
Did it once- mastered LOL.
Would be cool to see you try to make tamagoyaki as well. It's suprisingly hard, and from what I understand the first thing Japanese cooks learn to perfect.
Me, yelling at the screen: YOU'RE TOO SLOW, Alex! Increase the heat, move faster!!
Creating it once isn't what I'd call mastering it, but you're on your way at least.
Hey You were watching the Tasty vid with Andrew learning how to make omurice!!
Here I was hoping this would lead to the long awaited Japan trip. Could do ramen and omurice at the same time.
No chickens were hurt in the making of this video, but they are demanding extra maternity pay. 🐔
What type of carbon steel pan does he use? I’ve tried many, but my seasoning never gets close to “nonstick”.
I can’t wait for Uncle Roger to review this
Yep!
Why should he review a cheap ad for BetterHelp?
My first thought right off the bat, before i watched the rest of the show, was the heat source. That Japanese gentleman had a blast furnace for a heat source. The outer egg surface would cook quickly the internal egg undercooked and runny, before the flipping stage. By the time it was out of the pan. Bingo. That presentation though on top of the rice was .Suberashi! Wow.
Alex…… Thank you!!!!
I have been waiting for this video for so long! There is no one and I mean NO ONE on RUclips better suited to try this than you!
That was totally awesome.Watching you progress through the stages of learning how to make that omelet very impressed
Did Uncle Roger not already do this video?? Even used the kitchen towel to practice flipping
Now do it 10 times in a row.
Is it a coincidence that both you and Uncle Roger are attempting Motokichi's omurice at the same time? 🤔
No, it must be a conspiracy.
YES! yes you can alex! Yukimura is a legend! You will do the dish justice🎉🎉🎉
I went to Kichi Kichi in 2019 and stayed in a nearby hotel. They didn't know that place was famous at all.
I think it's mostly online / foreigner famous than local famous. As it is hard to get a reservation and it's just omurice (though a great one), I don't think many Japanese people bother going there.
The omurice was indeed great, but I did enjoy the meat stew as a "starter" they use to make the demi glace with better maybe!
I feel like people are being a little too hard on you Alex😕 I personally think your videos are great and hope you are still enjoying making them!
Daaaaang the comments sound so harsh when you read them all, but I see we’re all thinking the same things. Let’s remember that although the content isn’t the quality we’re used to and he’s still promoting a problematic sponsor, he is human. And maybe he’s using better help a lot because he’s going through something and that’s why the content is falling off. He’s given us so much great content to be grateful for in this cesspool of nonsense called RUclips. Let’s just hope if he’s having any struggles right now, he gets better! If you’re reading this, sending good vibes your way, Alex! Please take care of yourself! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I don’t fancy egg that looks like an alien facehugger
I must admit, I don't like it too ^^
next episode alex goes to japan and learns that he doesn't quite fully understand the omurice and needs to practice more in order to make the perfect one.
I honestly thought he was going to pretend he wasn't able to pull the omurice off at all so he could have an excuse to travel to Japan, learn from the master and get footage for another video...
He is well capable of it! And then people would celebrate the high value series !
If you travel to Kyoto, I think it would be an honour for Chef Motokichi to teach you his technique. He is always so happy if he gets to teach someone. ❤
It's definitly a collab i would be very happy to see.
I've been adding some cornstarch and milk. Tip- add cornstarch to milk first! This upped my omelette/scrambled eggs game. Also, I don't touch the egg mixture with a utensil; I just shake the pan vigorously and the skin isn't damaged and the curd forms. This is modified pepin and child's technique
I've been hoping and waiting for this moment to arrive for SO long, and I can't describe the joy and excitement I had when I saw it on my subs feed 😃🤙
Looking forward to seeing how this video goes, all the best from the UK! 🖤
@2:05- Okay, we're off to a good start! 😂🤣 lmfao
Uncle Roger deja vu
Haiyaa
the tip is to heat up the pan first, then lower the fire to the lowest setting, stir it to clump up the egg, the final step is the hardest, this part it just practice make perfect. congrat on done it
So weird that I was thinking about making this yesterday.
Look at Uncle Rogers last video, where he visits this chef, for the whole recipe. You're also missing stone ingredients in the egg mixture
Hello Alex,
good to see you made it! I have a hint from my tries to make that dish (and I still try, mine is not really done till now). Use a cheap pan. A cheap pan is light and has bad heat retention and so I can take the pan off the heat and get a little more time when forming the shape, but back on stove the heat comes back on fast (on a full power induction or a strong gas flame like the jet engine Chef Motokichi is using). So I can adjust the heat somewhat a cheat myself some extra time when I really need it.
Quality of the eggs is a huge factor. When we had our own chickens the yolks were bright orange almost red. They were so thick they were hard to pierce and they held the egg mixture together much better than the watery pale yellow yolks you get out of eggs at the grocery store.
True story.
Alex and Eggs! I see this as an Absolute win! ❤❤❤❤🥚🥚🥚
When your fan base starts to become toxic... Just remind yourself that the internet sucks
That split omelette at about 10:45 had a decidedly Georgia O’Keefe aspect to it…
Uncle roger also did this! I believe in you Alex! You will be an omurice Uncle too!
Alex is already an Honorary Great Uncle lol! Maybe not an omurice Uncle, but when you've been praised by Jaques Pépin himself you're at the very least an Uncle
What are those sickly eggs you are using? or is it the camera settings that makes it look almost pure white in the pan?
Did you take Uncle Rogers video as a sign to do this now 🤣 love your videos 🌹😽
IS ALEX FINALLY GOING SOMEWHERE BESIDES ITALY??!!!
No, of course not.
Ive made this style omelette nearly everyday for the last 6 years. No offence Alex, I’m a huge fan of yours. But this is only part of the way to the way it is done by Kichi Kichi. It’s needs to be more moist and by far the hardest part is flipping it just once and sealing the “seam” without a blemish. To do this you need to master the flipping with the motion of the pan. The chef from Kichi Kichi is by far and away the best I’ve ever seen do this. You’re 95% of the way there, the final 5% is the hardest to achieve perfection. It took me 3+ years to get it closer consistently. Ultra thin skin, the right amount of moistness and texture on the inside. It only makes the omelette taste fractionally better than what you’ve achieved, but that fraction was something I became obsessed with trying to perfect.
I KNEW you were going to get yourself involved with this chef! Can't wait to see you stand next to him in his restaurant.
Oooo. What a fantastic challenge!
This felt so anticlimactic like he doesn’t care
Wow. I am surprised at so many negative comments. If Alex did what so many said, he would have made a 2 minute video of him simply making such an omelet, and he would be utterly trashed for it.
At least he introduced a form of omelet that I had seen elsewhere only once and dismissed it. Thanks for putting it out there and showing that it most certainly can be done.
2:10 It was at this moment he knew, he should have become a knitter.
I love Chef Motokichi, such great energy from the guy
12:12 I'm with you Lou! Alex earned an applause! You're so lucky to have him alex! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s clear you don’t care about your viewers, since you insist on promoting BetterHelp despite them being exposed. Listen, I get that this is a job and people need to get paid, and I can ignore most shady sponsorships, but mental health is something extremely serious. Bye I guess.
what was Betterhelp exposed for? is it a scam?
@@ciripa Better Help has had multiple scandals about the security and mishandling of their clients private personal medical data and information along with using unlicensed and unqualified therapists.
Its sad to see a channel i once loved to watch and learn more in-depth about cooking fall to videos of this quality and promote these scams
@@Kenji_MystThis is a very dramatic interpretation of the events, and its frustrating to see people who are upset with a companies previous wrongdoings so directly point the frustration at creators making a living.
Better help got in trouble for using people's personal info to make targeted ads. They targeted previous users on Facebook and Snapchat using their IPs and Emails. This was deemed a breech of trust, because TECHNICALLY, your email and IP are considered "health" information when they are used for therapy. As well as the question "Have you been to therapy before?".
This is what the FTC reported. Targeted ads are very common. Better help got in trouble because their service exists in a strange grey area where bits of data that otherwise wouldn't be health data become health data.
They settled for like, 78 mill and so far havent been naughty. As for the "unlicensed therapist" issue... Idk about any of those reports. But as someone who's been in therapy and has had to look around... That is an issue that's common everywhere. Even LICENSED therapists can be quite dangerous. People are still obligated to use critical thinking and make smart decisions for themselves, even if they need therapy. Its still a service you pay for.
Watching this right after Uncle Roger's 9mil video with Omimurice, the guy is on the roll. Alex, cool stuff, but faaaaaar from yoir true vibe
If Alex's life was a manga series, this would be the final arc
YES!!! I'm so excited about this 🍽
Was your pan hot enough for the leidenfrost effect with drops of water?
Bruh Better Help?
It’s likely an overlap but Uncle Roger just did a video with him and “mastered” the same and in that video he did it without the slice but flip and land and open.
I thought you will fly to JAPAN 🇯🇵
Give him another episode.....
I love your Videos Alex!
12:10 I also applauded and scared my cat in the process. Haha
Did you see Uncle Rogers video yet? He went to Japan and actually did it with chef. Both you guys are great!
Have you heard about dashi omelettes? Its really only a dish in japan but its an omelette cooked with a dashi broth instead of like milk. Extremely savoury and one of my favourite dishes!
I see the key was watching Uncle Roger getting taught by the master 🤣
