Quick tip, when you add the soy sauce, add it around the edge of the wok so it sears for a quick second before touching the food. Adds a bit more depth
Love the slight vlog style to this slightly longer video. Would be happy to see it more often without losing the old and efficient format every now and then as well
Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to see if this kind of thing would be easier and quicker for me to edit with the commentary style instead of a voiceover. It wasn’t 🫠
you are probably the most "real" food channel there is - which is to say "the only useful one". thank you for practical tips for living and keeping the mistakes in too.
I have come to really appreciate your recipes/videos. You are the only channel that agrees with me on vegetables but you still put them in your recipes. You keep the recipes simple (most) and do meal prep. Thank you!
Dude I didn’t know you were Chamorro!! I’m a new subscriber and an adoptive father of two lovely girls from Guam! I would be interested in learning more Chamorro cuisine (Spam Musubi is the extent of my experience so far). Thanks for the great content!
J-Kenji recommends that when you're using a walk to pour the soy sauce around the sides of the pan so he soy sauce cooks. Just food for thought any little hack to get the most flavor into meal prep.
I really like the thrown together feel of this. I love your other videos and have tried at least half of all the recipes you have uploaded to youtube, and made the Japanese Curry and Firecracker Brussle sprouts (sometimes with pulled pork shoulder) over and over and over again. I am also a newly elected Snack City Mayor and will never give up ruling with an iron fist.
You must read minds bc I was thinking to myself a few days past, "Hmm, how to make healthy fried rice?" and sure if enough here you are. Thanks for all your teachings, Josh!
The trick I use with my fried rices is that rather than salt I use powdered bouillon (specifically i use the soup-in-a-mug stuff - it adds a meatiness whether you are using beef or chicken and also has MSG included for flavor depth)
I’m a firm believer that vinegar brings a much needed touch of acidity to any fried rice. It keeps the whole thing from feeling too “dank”. Brightens it up a little.
Honestly those knife prices aren't bad! Good knives typically cost an arm and a leg, so I was very (happily) surprised by the prices you gave. I have 2 MAC molybdenum steel knives from Japan, and I love them. I waited for them to go on sale before purchasing them, and it still cost me more than I care to admit
A few years back I spent $200+ on a knife from a different very popular German brand and I hated it. Went to target, bought the Zwilling one in this video and it out performed the expensive one in literally every single way. Haven’t used the other knife since, I have no idea where it even is. RIP
my mom used to just do straight up spam, egg, and green onion... Sometimes she would add bacon too... That was her favorite way of doing it. I do it more like you do though.
spam is so delicious. and if you use the turkey or the lite versions, it's really not the most terrible thing for you in terms of macros. i mean its not the best thing either, but we've all eaten worse. the micronutrients are a different story, but thats what veggies are for amirite
I was surprised when I came to the UK and found out that people here think of spam as disgusting poor people food. Cus back home (China) we love spam😂 It is my go to for hot pot ramen noodle and fried rice
Greetings Josh! Firstly want to say thank you for all your recipes brother. They seem easy and efficient and I appreciate it brother! Just one Question You said for your baked oatmeals recipe, I can omit the protein powder but instead replace it with sugar and flour. How much sugar and flour? Also could I use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar? Thank you!
I’ve never tested with the flour and sugar so I’m not really sure. And instead of syrup I would use sugar instead. Honey has too much of a strong flavor for my preference
I've made the baked oatmeals with flour and sugar (flour: same amount by volume as protein powder + half of that amount of sugar, also 2 scoops flour + 1 scoop sugar). But I HIGHLY recommend the protein powder, it is just much better, gives a better texture and flavour. You won't regret the investment!!!
Appreciate your help Gabriela. I'll consider using protein powder instead but I'm honestly not a big fan of it. I'll try the flour and sugar you suggested first and see how it goes. Thanks for the info!
i like how this video has a bit of a different feel to it. most of your dialogue is "live" rather than commentatiing over pre-recorded video. kitchen is looking quite sexy! not to mention the food of course.
I hate rice for I love it so much yet it's very calorie dense. Nice recipes! Don't leave your cam too long in the fridge, might damage the batteries :P
in the beginning you holding the zuchini and saying 'i'm gonna put them where they belong' made me think of a whole different place for you to put that zuchini also with the soy sauce that's why the no-fun tops exist (but you already know that lol)
Aint gonna lie I always though spam was like some digusting vegetable combo minced together and pressed together and processed to look like some kind of meat, most from the name, I really have no idea where I got that idea, but I thought it was something gross just based ont the name. After watching, and then looking at it, I'm gonna have to try some spam lmao.
Did you add too much soy sauce in because you took off the no fun cap again? Jk great recipe bro since following your recipes I’ve lost 10 lbs. thank you for making great food and fun videos

5:43 “watch this, I learned this in prison” freaken killed me 😂
Been trying to convince my gf that spam can be used in good food with actual nutritional value. Thanks for giving me argument ammo!
If she doesn't succumb, it might be time to part ways.
The spam is still trash in this
I also find that the Lite Spam basically tastes the same for way better macros.
You mean…Spammo?
lol whether it's with other food or not doesn't change the nutritional value of spam itself. Tough argument
Quick tip, when you add the soy sauce, add it around the edge of the wok so it sears for a quick second before touching the food. Adds a bit more depth
do this with the sesame oil too
For sure. It helps with the wok hei flavor.

I swear to God I was thinking of preparing a good macro fried rice just this morning (European time morning, so 10 hours ago) Thank you Josh!
This one isn’t so macro friendly but definitely very good 😎
Much love from Guam brother!
Also my condolences for when Uncle Roger gets ahold of you, but I don't think you did too bad
Spoiler: The secret ingredient is crime
That’s why I steal all my fried rice straight from the source. Saves time on meal prep too
After watching I can agree.
Chance would be a fine thing. A fine thing indeed.

“Love that for me” omgul using that from now on!
I've been making misc fried rice for decades with leftovers. Awesome yummy food. :)
Glad your teaching others how simple it is.
Good luck, have fun.
I grew up on Saipan! Spam fried rice topped with a fried egg is my go-to quick meal!

Great idea! I wonder if I can use that wet better than boullion stuff without adding moisture.

Your kitchen looks good man, would love a house tour
Thank you, I’ll show the kitchen when it’s fully finished 👍
@@TheMealPrepManual do you need a gas cook top to use that wok efficiently? We only have an electric top 😔
i proposed that same idea in comments on the previous video! glad I'm not the only person interested.
I really like this loose form video. It would be really cool to see more of these.
Dang man, I didnt know you were chamorro! I use a lot of your vids to meal prep and theyve been working well so far!
Wow, I didn't know you were chamorro! I was stationed in Guam for 3 years, and the fiesta plates were bussin on wednesday nights!
Hafa adai 👋

And that is what we call a mess up. You are only human bro, still turned out looking a treat, great video
🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺😎 will be making tomorrow! 🤙🏽

I bought spam today to try it for the first time in my life just because of this video.
Never underestimate the mental aspect of uniform ingredient size when trying to sell a dish either.
Works om my kids (almost) every time.
I love spam fried rice. I use corned beef sometimes too and add peas and corn for extra veg and colour.
I've never tried spam before....I might give this a try.
It’s either MSG or Spam, betting a decent chunk on it.
Porque no los dos?
Oh nice. I was wondering what to eat tomorrow. This sounds like a good idea.
Add an over easy egg on top and it takes it to the next level. Serve with side of spicy soup.
my mom used to just do straight up spam, egg, and green onion... Sometimes she would add bacon too... That was her favorite way of doing it. I do it more like you do though.
MSG is wonderful. Seriously.
Theres a place by my work that has kimchi fried rice and wow what a unique taste. Looks just like yours. Cant wait to make it myself.
I thought you were joking about the Spam! I thought my parents were the only ones who ate that, LOL!
Stumbled upon this video, and then you said Chamorro! I am from Guam myself, glad to see success in your channel!
This is actually brilliant.
Josh out here with the Joshua Weissman intro
This man refrigerated his camera for our benefit
😎
That censoring might as well not be there, but that was more funny than anything! Love me some SPAM fried rice! Kudos on an amazing recipe!
Please more of this format.
Hafa adai, would love to see more CHamoru foods on the channel. Great video.
Love this for you man😂😂😂
man… you do the most.., I am not a big spam guy.., but I may have to mess with that.
keep it going
I love this recipe.
Spam fried rice is one of my favorites and the easiest to make! I also like dumpling fried rice. :D
Love it. I might be a day or out from making this. Spam in the cupboard.
Kimchi spam fried rice is my go to hangover cure
spam is so delicious. and if you use the turkey or the lite versions, it's really not the most terrible thing for you in terms of macros. i mean its not the best thing either, but we've all eaten worse.

digging the new style ngl
Waiting for Uncle Roger to react to this 😅 - looks good!
How did spam get that popular in the islands of the Pacific?
In the process of making your cheeseburger mac for the 1000th time 🤣 I'll try this one next!
Meal prepped version of this?
Lmao great video, one of your funnier ones imo, great job!
Spam is the best!!!
I was surprised when I came to the UK and found out that people here think of spam as disgusting poor people food. Cus back home (China) we love spam😂 It is my go to for hot pot ramen noodle and fried rice
It was the only meat some Brits could afford during the war, so that's why it's regarded as poor people food.
Josh, it's time to put the No Fun cap back on. :( Great looking recipes as usual!
I refuse to do it
Josh "I'll find it in my mouth later" Cortis
Can you do a meal with Flank steak?
little fact:
"Zwilling" is the german Word for "twin"
Spam's a deal breaker but maybe with some turkey...
Was I high or did josh have a bistek with a chipotle sauce meal????
mistakes make it so much more entertaining to watch
Uncle Roger needs to see this fried rice 😋
You are just the best
Cannot wait for Uncle Roger to rip this video apart.. 😅
i fuck with the new kitchen, looking clean
Greetings Josh! Firstly want to say thank you for all your recipes brother. They seem easy and efficient and I appreciate it brother!

Does cooking spam smell weird? I've literally never used it but love the idea of it in rice - but my apartment hates smelly cooked food.
Its food... let em complain
Can i do this recipe with chicken instead of SPAM ?
I swear if the secret ingredient is rice, I'm going to scream.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of this
the filmaking in this video is almost as good as the food.
how are you sharpening your knives ?
I’ve got one of those pull through knife sharpener and a honing rod
I never use spam, BUT try red quinoa instead of rice, 🧨🧨🧨
you should put soy sause on side of wok
I hate rice for I love it so much yet it's very calorie dense. Nice recipes!
Don't leave your cam too long in the fridge, might damage the batteries :P
in the beginning you holding the zuchini and saying 'i'm gonna put them where they belong' made me think of a whole different place for you to put that zuchini
also with the soy sauce that's why the no-fun tops exist (but you already know that lol)
watching this after throwing away the extra rice i didnt need
Alright boys, bust out those thermoses
You're telling me a spam fried this rice!?
It sure helped
You what?! “In prison…”
Prolly wish you had that no fun cap on your Soy sauce now 🤣
have to ask, why not both?
Both would be great. In fact I ended up frying the remaining spam a few days later to put into the kimchi fried rice
Josh that actually wasnt a mess up.... the prisoners always use way more soy sauce than needed. I guess your prison street cred cant be hidden....
I've grown up on spam and my non-Asian friends never understood why we ate spam. Turns out they just don't know how to cook it 👹
RIP movable countertop 😔
Thank you. Wish you were
my bf… lol
your girlfriend must be lucky 🍀 😊
Aint gonna lie I always though spam was like some digusting vegetable combo minced together and pressed together and processed to look like some kind of meat, most from the name, I really have no idea where I got that idea, but I thought it was something gross just based ont the name.
After watching, and then looking at it, I'm gonna have to try some spam lmao.
If you aren't cooking 20lbs of rice a week are you really meal preping?
😎😎
Uncle Roger where are you?!
Uh oh, where did the no fun cap go??
Did you add too much soy sauce in because you took off the no fun cap again? Jk great recipe bro since following your recipes I’ve lost 10 lbs. thank you for making great food and fun videos
