$135 vs $13 Dumplings: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2020
- Pro chef Chris Cheung from East Wind Snack Shop and home cook Emily are swapping materials and hoping for the best! We set Emily up with a selection of the finest ingredients from chef Chris’s kitchen, along with his recipe for a $135 batch of dumplings. With some unfamiliar ingredients and plenty of questions to accompany them, food scientist Rose dialed in for a tutorial teleconference to help Emily along the way. Meanwhile over with chef Chris, a much more modest $13 worth of ingredients were being finessed up to gourmet status while making dumplings without his usual arsenal. Tune in and find out whose dumplings came out on top!

'put it on medium, becasue nothing bad ever happens on medium.'
This is the sort of helpful advice I come to the video for.
I've actually started using medium a lot more because of Emily. I do think my food has been less burnt on the whole.
Not in cooking mama
One exception would be perhaps pan seared salmon with the skin. If it doesn't cook fast enough all the skin will stick to the pan and you'd tragically be left with skinless salmon.
NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS TO THE KENNEDYS
"Itll be fine, itll be great, itll be good".
This pro chef is 100% ny. That accent is THIICCC
wourder chestnuts hhHHHHHhhhHhH
scayyons
I close my eyes and hear Emeril's brother.
he makes me think of jimmy kimmel he has the same voice
He sounds like what NYC would be if it were a person. Wouder. Scayyons. I loooove it!
Now I wanna see him actually cook his own dumplings
Me toooooo
Hell yeah!
He basically changed Emily's enough that he did make his own.
i always wonder why they don't do bth, make their own version, then swap ingredients, and compare what they did
@@missbootoyoutoo77 roo much expensive
Need an apron that says “nothing bad ever happens on medium”
That's like me saying "I can handle this" .... As the spooky music gets louder and louder.
Need a grandma to cross stitch that into a framed sampler!
Yes please lol
oyster sauce: has oysters
Emily: :O
To be fair, cocktail sauce is sauce for cocktails, not made from cocktails. So it's not unreasonable to assume that it's a sauce for oysters.
Oyster sauce is the life of stir fry. Freaking delicious
BBQ sauce isn't made of BBQs
Also note that that's a particularly high quality pure oyster sauce which Chris bought for Emily. The cheaper oyster sauce will often use a much smaller concentration of oyster and substitute other ingredients (caramel for colouring, cornstarch as a thickener) to cut costs. You can even use mushroom extract to make a "vegan" oyster sauce.
@@timrao7241 what if it's Oyster mushrooms 😂
I wanna see Rose cook in one of these episodes😆
same lol
All talk no game!
UP
Same!!
and then she calls Emily for advice ?
i’m in the middle of an exam but this is much more important
Almost the same I'm taking a quiz
I know it is weird to ask but which exam or which quiz are you attempting at 10:50pm.
Do not tell that its online because every exam has a specific time portal
Idk where u live but its 1:23p.m. where I live
Me too 😂😂💀💀
Sorry I didn't recognize that fact btw im from India
"I don't have that luxury because I AM the tutorial right now" hahahaha I love Emily
Chris is fun because he's nice, Emily is fun because she's humble, Rose is nice because she's Rose, this was a nice team all in all :)
His cheating was a bummer. Emily didntvsay "Well wrappers are just as good from the package..." and dump his wrapper ingredients. She didnt add ketchup to it since to her ketchup makes things better.
Chris Cheung is, literally, the master of dumplings in NYC. The fact that he gave a thumbs up to Emily's effort says a LOT! #MakeEmilyLevel2
The fact that she's here and labeled as a "home-cook" rather than her usual "amateur cook" probably means she's level 2 now
@@tapp3r109 nope she's still level 1 in the 4 levels videos. For the swap ones, the Home cook can be either level 1 or 2 while Pro is 3 as usual.
@@tapp3r109 I was referring to the other Epicurious show "4 Levels"
lol, the knife cant even cut through the skill with ez. I say level 1 is fine, more than fine.
Emily is like a level 1.5 chef 👩🍳
At this point, Emily is at least a 1.5 level chef, she is very versatile and I really love seeing her in these videos
I just now noticed that she got promoted to home cook!!!! Congratulations girl!
@@ang5798 Not promoted. Still Level 1 in the 4 Level videos. The swap ones only have two types of cooks, Pro or Home. So Level 1 or Level 2 are Home cooks. Emily has been the "Home cook" in previous swap videos, but was Level 1 in the kebabs.
@@defaultuser1447 oh I see, then I misunderstood, thanks for the clarification!
@@ang5798 I understand. I was similarly confused back in the brownie swap.
Nah she’s still level 1 for cooking that nasty burger 🍔

I like how the pro chefs are like eH i CaN wOrK wItH tHiS
And then they make literal gold.
Some believe the best way to test a chef is to see how they cook eggs.
Hes like screw these wrappers just change this whole simple recipie
They add stuff the home cook doesn't
I hate that
I mean dumplings is one of those cases where simple ingredients are the star of the dish. Good wrappers and technique make the dish - and neither is expensive nor different. The filling is just a bonus.
Some of the OTHER dishes though.. Yea..
@@approx4ft well, if they don't it's gonna give the same result as the home cook, and that would be boring since there's nothing new brought the table.
loving the evolution of emily from being ketchup lady to a legit coming home cook
Emily had to work with a lot of complicated ingredients and she did not do that bad at it. The fact that they both were planning to make an asian style dumpling is predictable, but I really like that the home cook’s recipe showcased asian dumplings in a simple way, and the professional chef’s recipe showcased it in a more complicated way and we get the best of both sides because of that. The inclusion of lard and king crab on the professional chef’s recipe was very smart and cool in my opinion since it adds a interesting spin to the traditional asian style dumpling. Also, I like that the professional chef combined vegetable oil, water, and tapioca starch to the pan with the dumplings because it seems to add a very nice crust to it and the combination of Emily’s carefree, determined, and laid back personality and how focused, detailed, and straightforward the professional chef is, is great.
Edit: Thank you guys all for over 500 likes, it means a lot. It’s obvious that a bunch of you guys may have liked my comment just because you felt like it, but thank you anyways.
this has the vibes of a schoology discussion board reply
@@absolutelybuttons7164 That’s true. I hope that it is not truly a bad thing for you. I was just trying to comment my thoughts on the video, that’s all.
@@BurningSearcher lol nah you're good :)
@Concepting Um, who are you talking to? Me or O Q?
If Emily has to call Rose every time, why not just skip the middle man and have the pro chef give instructions
It actually looks like Emily has progressed A LOT since first being on epicurios as just the ketchup girl. It's great to see. Keep it up!
I think Chris's modifications were really consistent with the original price of Emily's dumplings.
Making your own wrappers from scratch is actually a lot cheaper (and tastier) than buying premade wrappers.
Chikiang Vinegar and Rice Vinegar have very similar prices in a lot of asian groceries.
Starch (it could be cornstarch as well) has a pretty negligible cost and is readily available in almost every kitchen. Usually, you can add a lot less of the batter in to get a crispier snowflake pattern (only need a tablespoon per batch).
Where I'm from we don't have pre-made wrappers so I NEED to make them myself. And yeah I agree that it's cheaper. But it's not convenient at all, it's so painful.
unless you live in asia where the premade wrappers are the same price as making them yourself, i live in southeast asia and my grocery store sells 100 wrappers for $1.80, some restuarants use these premade wrappers since they taste nearly the same as made from scratch.
God the pro chef’s wrappers are so round paper thin and beautiful I was sh00k how easy he made them
he made like, 1000 dumplings a day.
Looooots of practice like everything else!
Years of practice...
The secret is HE'S ASIAN

It’s the resignation on Emily’s face when she says “And now I’m required to cook them” that makes me both laugh and want to hug her.
I don't care how much a dumpling costs, I will always manage to eat too many of them.
Shut up!
@@poketheclone8980lol chill.
They are just really good and not that expensive most of the time

too cute
Meanwhile, Emily: no idea where it came from. XD
I wanna see this chef in 4 leveeelllss. He's so charming, it's a treat to watch him cook!!! More videos of him pleaaassee
Cracked up laughing 😂 when Emily pulled out the tape measure.
I love that they have Emily in this series more and more!! She gets better from this and she does well every time!!
That joy on Emily's face at the first bite!
So Emily is now officially a level 2 chef?
wow I'm so proud
No, for the "Four Levels", she's still Level 1. They only have Home or Pro for this series.
@@defaultuser1447 All the level 2 chefs are home cook, so she is officially a level 2 chef
@@asdafghop196 No, that's a different series. There are no level numbers in this one. A couple months ago, Emily was in the brownie swap video as a Home Cook. Then a couple weeks ago, she was in the 4 Levels of kabob - as a Level 1. Clear?
@@asdafghop196 no she wants on this before (omelet) but then she was in a 4 levels that came out after a couple actually when she is still level 1
@@defaultuser1447 not completely right, the ingredient swap video for pho had Gabby in it and she always appears as level 2 in the other vids

Joe dying in the series finale: *Am I a joke to you?*
Spoiler warning, geez.
You waited for me all this time?
Always!
I love these, i always want them to swap at the end and try the others dish instead of eating what they made.
they did before covid, right now it's a bit more complicated
EMILY HAS EVOLVED INTO A HOME COOK
" Hi, I'm Emily, and I am a HOMEEEE COOOOK"
Well no actually she was on this for the omelets but was level 1 still later she is still level 1 but because this series is different she is a home cook Becuase she cooks at home
She's still a level 1 chef.
She has evolved😂
Level 1 and 2 are homecooks
So many people here don't understand the difference between the 4-level and pro-chef vs homecook series 😌
emily's commentary is the best omfg
"I've always wondered what is in oyster sauce - it IS oyster!" just how many sauces with misleading ingredients Emily has come across to be so suspicious. I know I can recall some
"It'll be fine, it'll be great, everything's good."
This is the kind of reassurance we all need right now.
Man every time I see Emily, my brain goes 'hey look, it's the ketchup lady'.
Emily has moved way beyond ketchup!
@Rik Kuster omega ketchup packetz
I'm waiting for a pro chef to say, "This list is missing something."
Then pull out a bottle of ketchup.
If the professional chefs are going to add things or change the way they come to certain ingredients, ie making wrappers instead of using store bought, then that's fine, but I would at least like to see each original ingredient used.
I agree! It does feel like it goes a bit against the premise of the show, given it is meant to be about the cost of the ingredients and what a professional chef can do with low budget ingredients vs what a home cook can do with ingredients they are not used to. So I feel like letting the pro chef add a bunch of things that were not part of the home cook's recipe at all kind of ruins the whole "budget" feel of the box. I would like to see how much his "additions" jacked up the price cause I'm certain some of it would push the box value over $20 at the LEAST. I feel like if Emily had thrown out half the ingredients to make it easier on herself people would have been more upset.
What does premade dumpling wrappers add though? That's not really an interesting challenge, just a downgrade and it takes away the opportunity for the chef to teach a basic skill.
@@ZombieMinion1992 Its cheaper to make your own dumpling wrappers though...
@@ZombieMinion1992 I think it ok if the chef substitute cheap ingredients but wrong if he use fancy expensive stuff. The chinkiang vinegar is like $10 on amazon and $2 in local Asian store so somewhere around $5. He also say it like balsamic vinegar so that would be $3. Then he use flour which is like $3 (tapioca flour is around $3 as well for 1 pound just like normal flour) They should add the prices of the substitute ingredients as the chef use it so people don't get mad and think the chef is cheating for using a $5 bottle of vinegar.
Exactly. This bothered me.
I'd love an episode where Rose cooks something with the pro chef's ingredients
That NY accent is pretty intense. I half expect to see his mom, the Statue of Liberty, show up in Giants jersey a pair of Timberlands. As for dipping sauces. I recall eating some dumplings in the Shanghai airport and being completely bewildered. There are like 5 sauces to choose from with likely some element of mixing expected, but I just had to go for it.
are you from ny because this is not a comment from a new yorker lol
@@kaylarotondi1293 nope. I just have a working prototype for a stereotype.
“I always wondered what is in Oyster sauce.”
“It is oyster.”
Congratulations, Emily!
Lmfao! That's so funny when she said that. I was literally going to go pull out my oyster sauce from the cabinet & re-read the ingredients. 😂
To be fair, sharksfin dumplings usually don't have shark's fins. So i get where she's coming from 😅
She made me laugh when she realized it tho 😂
I always wondered where they put the oysters in oyster crackers.
I have to give Emily props for taking these challenges. Known as a ketchup lady she has persisted to come back on the show and has grown. It also nice to have the other side of having a pro show how much more can be done starting with making your own wraps and his folding of the dumplings.
Emily: Normally an amateur
Emily Now: A home cook
Can we get a recipe for Chris' dumplings though? Like damn 😭 I make my family's dumpling recipe but that is just next level
In this crappy year I've come to appreciate Emily for the joyous ray of sunshine that she brings with every video. But I am disappointed that no ketchup was used for dumping...
spoilers man. -_-
Emily after this video: "Hi I'm Emily and I'm a level 2 chef"
She is level 1 still she was in this series in the omelet one at a home cook but on 4 levels that came after she is still level 1
Emily is doing great! This isn't easy--and it looks good. Enjoyed this particular pro chef and his straight-forward approach. And then Rose--who doesn't love Rose. She definitely adds to this "series" (or whatever you call it).
Emily you did great! The folding is so hard but it takes time
I mean, I can laugh at Emily all I want, but I still only order food and cook frozen food. So she's a pro compared to me!
Cris: you don’t want it go too high past 2
*cut to Emily’s mixer going on speed 1,000*
Frik
Every time I watch this videos it’s “Oh, that’s what we should try!” I’ve already made several meals and tried to do it with what I have, really worth it. Thanks for inspiration! 💗
Emily, I adore you. It’s been a joy watching you grow!
The ingredients were surprisingly similar. Take away the fancy pork and King Crab and you got similar pricing.
I still remember Emily being an amateur cook. Glad to see she levelled up
She’s still level 1. This serious pro chef vs. home cooks that includes level 1 and 2. Since she cooks home, she’s in this series.
Oh 😔
She can still be like, level 1.5 tho
1.9 if it helps you
“Don’t go past 2”. “Sounds like it’s screaming”. 🤣
I literally cracked up so hard when Emily plated her dumplings.... She's so funny and confident... I like it!
“Because I am the tutorial right now.” LOLLLLLL
It's awesome watching Emily learn & grow. What a great opportunity and I'm glad to watch it.
Aaah Finally, I can Die in Peace now, as I've seen Emily Upgraded to home cook(#Level2 chef)😁
No. See other comments.
No, don't die yet, she is still a level 1 chef in the 4-level series. In this series, there are only home cook and Pro. Both lv 1 & 2 will be classified here as a home cook. As long as you are not the professional chef, you are a home cook here. They will never promote Emily though as they need her at lv1, but honestly, skill wise, she must have been around Lv 1.8 now.
I just made my first dumplings from scratch yesterday, it was a lot of work but they turned out really great!
This is one of the purest videos I have seen from both parties. And it's this positive attitude and encouragement I can get behind. Yay! :)
This one is my favorite. Been watching these for a lot of years. Was this really the first time they've met? Very cool.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but seeing Emily has made my day 🙌🏾🙌🏾
So glad Emily is improving in her kitchen skills 🍽️
Emily is just so full of joy! When she dropped the dumpling 🥟 and blew it off cracked me up 🤣
this is just a whole new level for Rose omg we need episodes of her cooking now!!!!!
Wait... Have we just watched Emily grow from a Level 1 to a Level 2 chef!!!??? 😲 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Yup :)
Emily : i wonder whats in oyster sauce
Also emily : its oysters
again also emily : *surprised pikachu face*
Well there aren’t and Worcestershire’s in Worcestershire sauce...
🤣💯
I always enjoy Emily in these videos 😁 and Chef Chris was delightful... very inspiring!
Love this episode!! So wholesome and dumplings are my fav!!
Our queen emily has come so far :,)
Chinkiang vinegar for $8.39?! That's outrageous!!! My local Chinese grocery store (Canada) sells it for $1.39!
yeah but it's the US we are talking about here, and for places without a Chinese grocery store (which happens way too often for their own good in the US), all they can do is order online, which can have some ridiculous price sometimes
Yesssss Emily the HOME COOK. Not just an amateur any more!
Another Great Video !!
Thanks Epicurious 🏆🏆
I love that Emily IS the tutorial
The fact Emily wasn’t using chopstick when eating the dumplings....
Wait wait wait why didn’t Chris use chopsticks???
Emily is my fave on this channel, a dear personality that reminds me of many servers I've worked with that were genuinely interested in cooking. I'm a chef myself. Hugs, you. I'm sure you're way more talented in the kitchen than you might believe. You care, and that's three quarters of success in the kitchen :) xo
Both dishes ended up looking good! If only i could try them
I haven't watched the video yet but I all ready know that the video is going to be fantastic 👌.
7:16 This is representation!!! THIS IS ALL OF US! Thank you Emily! Interally screaming while being able to do nothing but look at everything set ablaze
Love the switch of ingredients!
Love that Emily says scallop the right way twice, then says “I know what a skuh...lop is” completely wrong
i know this is gonna get lost in the comments but, me and my ex broke up almost 6 months ago. i’ve been shattered ever since and i can’t seem to get over him. we dated for 2 years and he meant everything to me. These videos, the $$$ vs $ cooking vids, have such an impact on me bc they had a huge significance on our relationship, some nights we would facetime and turn on one of these videos and watch it together at the same time; it’s stupid but i miss him.
Sorry for your loss. It's so hard when someone who's been a huge part of your life just walks out. Earlier this month, the person I considered to be my best friend said she never wanted to speak to me again. It really does hurt, and it's lonely. You know there's the hole now. I hope in time we can both fill it with people even more amazing than those we lost. Stay strong. You deserve to be happy. And 2020 is almost over.

@@ines_iy Oh thanks for the information 😍
Most of the Lv3 chefs used to come from the School of Culinary Education, including Frank, may be the channel used to be partner or signed the contract with the school. Maybe the contract ended or something like that. We don't see all the chefs from that school anymore, not only Frank.
I literally watch this for Emily. The goofy, educated, awkward self. But on epicurious.
The "I gotta go lay down" got me haha when the food so good you gotta nap and think on it haha
After watching this video, presentation is definitely everything lol
Omg Emily upgraded to home cook?! Congrats!!
Nope. Just because she's home cook in this series doesn't mean she's home cook in level 1 to 4. There are only 2 chefs in swapping cooking: Home and Pro. She might upgrade someday though.
