dear lord, have we lost all creativity in this world now. We have RUclipsrs now posting reaction videos of other RUclipsrs doing reaction videos...is this really the best we've got today?
@@ChefJamesMakinson Yes, we need more Simba 😻🐈😻 Also, it would be interesting to see you try this recipe, and either make it better or make it more Italian if you happen to not like it 😉 Great video as always 😀
i have had spanish fried rice, they used left over spanish rice added some bellpepper, onion, chorizo infused eggs and carne asada meat. i thought it was really good,
Between watching you plot to aggravate Uncle Roger to provoke him to respond to you, watching you play the bagpipes, and Simba the kitten, all with that heinous drunken fried rice in the background, this video is almost fan service overload lol. Loved it ❤
genuinely love how open you are about wanting to get uncle roger to react to your videos to the point you're going to "give him help"😂 all the best brother, love your videos
I mean to explain why was Babish with that kind of attitude when he "fingered" the rice, is because that was originally from a series called "Botched *by* Babish" (my bad), it's kinda different from the usual "Binging with Babish" where Andrew's expression can sometimes be a bit... outrageous.
I like to imagine that Babish has to contain all of his chaotic energy throughout the shooting of "normal" episodes, until it spills over in one of these extra episodes.
To me this just illustrates the decay of his channel. I liked Andrew, I even have his book but to be honest, his main series was good until it started to be a vehicle for sponsorships and lazy simple stuff thats just mostly uninteresting. His basics series was a good idea but it lost it's way. The turn into "culinary universe" wasn't a bad idea but doesn't really work on single RUclips channel. Collaboration with Sohla was missed opportunity. Alvin is ok. Most of the rest is just bad "content". The only really good thing on his channel in the last two years was Pruébalo with Rick Martinez, which definitely deserved own channel and I would pay for more.
@@vlastimilmaselnik I find the "taste testing" video way worse. That's just cheap content farming following the rise of tier list videos. Anything else is a matter of opinion and preferences. For me, the "botched" episodes are a good bit of lighthearted fun and silliness every now and then. But I agree, the cooperation with Sohla was great and way too short.
I think Babish have used some "special" herbs here. By the way a a workmates Chinese mother use black vinegar in her fried rice, i think it is some regional thing from china after all china is big and even small countries as Sweden have regional version of traditional Swedish food.
I have a spiced black rice vinegar I use sometimes. Mandarin peel, bean paste, ginger, some spices (clove star anise etc). The vinegar itself tastes "fruity" it has more body than a normal rice flavor vinegar, the other ingredients add to that. a small amount can add a nice kick. Don't use too much though.
@@Gripen1974 Black vinegar I can see, but aged balsamic? Even if the flavor sounded good (nothing about this "dish" sounded good lol), aged balsamic would be destroyed by the heat. No chef would do that. This vid confirmed my opinion of Babish and why I don't watch the guy lol.
yeah but our black vinegar is more liquid not thick when you put it around the wok it will evaporate quickly and give you full wok hay more smells not sour taste
Italian fried rice: 1. Cook Guanciale or Pancetta (if you can't get Guanciale) in a pan to render out the fats, remove the Guanciale when its crispy and drop unseasoned and beaten eggs into the pan. 2. Fry off the Eggs a bit before dropping in Garlic and Shallots. 3. Add Rice which was cooked in Saffron Water infused with Garlic and Ginger and left overnight. 4. Stir fry and season with Fish Sauce or Flor de Garum/Liquamen if accessible. Add Black Pepper and a teaspoon of Thyme. You may add Salt if you like your fried rice saltier but Fish Sauce and Guanciale are already quite salty. 5. Add back the Guanciale and some Chilli Flakes if you like heat. 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, Grate a handful of Parmesan and mix with half a teaspoon of Dried Basil. Lay the grated Parmesan flat on the baking tray and bake at 180 Degrees Celsius for about 6 to 7 minutes or until it turns golden brown and you get a Parmesan Cheese Crisp. This mimics the Keropok or Crackers that many South East Asians would have accompanying a fried rice dish. Also, in HK Cafes (茶餐厅) there are many forms of cheese baked rice dishes and the pairing of cheese and rice is actually really good and quite common. Plate by putting the Fried Rice on the plate, insert the Cheese Crisp off to the side into the rice, add some finely chopped Scallions for garnish. Simple.
seeing you interact with Simba was too wholesome for my weak heart, chef. 🥺 thank you for another lovely video. I am unable to financially show support, but once I'm more stable, I will definitely become a member!
omg what a cute kitti! thanks for adopting! you genuinely seem like a great person, no over the top rage bait videos, always calm and collected, and a great cook too. hope your channel will grow a lot!
One thing I feel I should mention is this is from a series he does called WTF "What The Fridge", where he looks in his fridge to come up with ideas on a dish to make based solely what he has in the fridge, it's meant to be more light-hearted and goofy, similar to his Botched by Babish videos, where his Binging with Babish and Basics with Babish are usually a bit more serious. Also, it's basically an off the cuff, on the fly, make as he goes along sort of thing, like you said near the end. Really, it's just more meant for entertainment purposes.
Congrats on the 300k James! As for the dish itself, if you want to make an italian fried rice, just slice up some italian sausages and use that as the protein. There's an italian twist to an asian dish that would actually work.
Happy 300K subscribers James!!! I've been following you since last year - and I feel that your confidence has been getting better and better on camera!!! Your videos, of course, are always a source of joy on my weekends, but seriously I have learned a lot of good cooking tips from you. Fingers crossed Uncle Roger will react to one of your videos soon. And YES, MORE SIMBA PLEASE!!! 🐱 Can we get a storytime about how he was found and how he's settling in?? 😍
AAAAAAAAHHHHH SOOOOOOOO CUUUTTTTEEEEE😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Simba... such a perfect name, and he was purring when you were holding him, and the fact that he was rescued... I bow down to you, Chef, you are a very good person ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That dish was like when i paint sometimes i try to make a color without reference and i keep adding colors and end up with a version of gray. It's a very nice gray but it's gray. That's the nicest thing i can say about it.
who cares, that guy is annoying many times. I wouldn't give opinions about a dish I haven't tasted. I cooked a lot in my life in this way where I just mix stuff for the first time, and discovered many good tastes. so I am not quick to judge the food without having it first because I know what you can suddenly come upon out of nowhere. And the rice vinegar combo - I actually love it personally lol. with the fattiness of the pesto, who knows, maybe it's good. Chef James, wanna recreate the recipe so we can get a profi opinion about it ? :D
@@peterflom6878 It's one thing if you make a specific dish incorrectly, but if you're making up your own dish anything goes. Whether or not it's any good might be a different story though lol
babish is more erratic in this video because it's part of a series where it's not scripted and more candid as they just make stuff with whatever they have in their fridge so he's just improvising and having fun. This isn't a tutorial and he's not saying you should make this. He's just having fun
I love the bagpipe playing, was not expecting it, I love bagpipes. Also, the kitty is cute - I see the distrabution system decided it was your turn to get a kitty. Simba is adorable. That "fried rice" is just...I can't picture how the balsamic vinegar could work with the rest....not with that flavor. Babish is making my Italian ancestors cry.
Babish does a lot of videos that are very clean and professional (most of his tutorials are like that), and then occasionally he'll do a series like "botched" where he just acts totally chaotic and unhinged. I'm guessing this video is in that latter vein.
The original video was called WTF(what the fridge), or something like that. It was meant to be really off the cuff. See what was in the fridge and come up with something. They had left over meatballs and white rice from God knows when. Italian fried rice was never the original idea. Personally, I think the recipe was going alright until the balsamic vinegar showed up. Then it went downhill.
My fondest memory is the haunting sound of the SFU Pipe Band practicing into the evenings, on a quiet campus. So neat to find out you've been in my part of the world.
I have binged Babish plenty of times, so I know a thing or two. I'll start with the tattoos. I don’t know the backstory behind the hammer, but the one above it is based on the Kodak logo, which is based in Babish's home town of Rochester, New York, and serves as a reminder not to get stuck in his ways. And the last one is his whisk, specifically one of his trademarks: the tiny whisk. And Babish doesn’t really act like this in Binging and Basics; he’s just like this during unscripted videos, like What The Fridge, the irregular series this is from. He’s more like Alvin in the previous video. This series started as a means to make a video in a crunch, which was probably one of the early signs he wasn’t in a great place. Though there’s further context to this video that didn’t start my understanding relationship with Uncle Roger on the right foot. This video came off multiple themed videos around fried rice, a couple even having J. Kenji Lopez Alt, someone who, to put it mildly, doesn’t like Uncle Roger. The videos showed the versatility in fried rice, how you could vary the dish based on the ingredients at hand. They inspired me to make my initial attempts at making fried rice. Going from that to a very critical video of Babish, even this is probably one of the strangest things he ever made, made me not want to have anything to do with Uncle Roger. Even now, if I'm looking for an Uncle Roger video to rewatch, I won’t watch this one.
So Botched With Babish is born out of a possible slumped mood one time? Uncle Roger is hilarious but his constant need to jab at Jamie Oliver in videos that are nothing related to him annoy me a lot and a huge reason his content isnt something on my everyday watch list
@@Thomasmemoryscentral I don’t know if Botched has any further motivations beyond just correcting past recipes, and it probably wasn’t made out of "I need to make a video in the next 24 hours; what can I do?" Even him, I can’t say would panic buy an entire wheel of Parmesan.
Yes Babish can be very silly! Also, I think the reactions to this from Uncle Roger and Vincenzo are too harsh - it's just a fun challenge. But I guess I'm a sucker for fusion food. Congrats on Simba!! 🐾
i dont think they are harsh at all... i dont even have to try to cook his fried rice and i can already taste it in my mouth.... and it's not a good taste. sour is good, slimy can be good but imagine eating rice that is sour and slimy.😪😪
Vincenzo and Uncle Roger go out of their way to be to offended. The "What the fridge" challenge is supposed to be silly. What's the point of doing a normal dish in that series?
I hate when chefs cringe at fusion food, if it tastes good, then that's all that matters. And this looked really good, and I think will taste good as well.
Fusion should be done correctly lol , you build upon the base From your comment I can just add chocolate coating and all and mix it with poop and tell you yo it's a chocolate cake , have it Will you ignore the foul smell and eat it based on the looks?
@@drago8076 I did say "if it tastes good", never meant all fusion food is good but chefs always cringe and say this cuisine shouldn't use these ingredients like a strict rule and so on.
@sayanama Exactly.And in the long end of it all, that what matters if it tastes good. Everybody's so focus."Well, that's not the way it's made in China.That's not the way it's made in Italy".Yeah that's the point
In general, I agree, but I'm cringing at the combo of pesto, celery and balsamic - and considering that extra moldy lemon, I'm kind of suspicious of those meatballs, too.
@sayanama this chef isn't rely cringing at fusion foods, but you have to admit, all those ingredients were strange together, and then the added lime must have done something weird to the flavors as well.
Orange kitties are awesome!!! I have one too! They are smart and have great personalities. I’m so happy for you that you got one. I can tell you love it already.
In Uncle Roger's hometown, Malaysia there are lots of Fried Rice variety Type of Dish + Standard Fried Rice. Such as BBQ Pork Fried rice, Tom Yam Fried Rice and Seafood Fried Rice(just some random seafood mixing in when you fried the rice). If I would like to make Spanish Fried Rice, I will make a Fried Rice with Paella ingredient since both of them are pretty similar.
16:00 check out Tasting History with Max Miller, he’s put out videos on how to make a “quick garum”, something you can do in your kitchen, and a traditional method: salt and cut up whole fish (including guts) in a jar in the summer sun for a few months…. Yes it’s as gross as it sounds, but the final product is a shockingly clear golden liquid
@@ChefJamesMakinson as I understand it he’s not professionally trained, he just enjoys finding old (sometimes ancient!) recipes and trying his best to replicate them, and learning & sharing the history around them. So I watch for that content and don’t really worry much about his technique, but I have seen him do some things that wouldn’t fly in a professional kitchen (like wearing a ring while prepping food.)
Congratulations on 300K subscribers. Congratulations on adopting Simba! ❤ I love bagpipes so hearing you play was an extra treat. THIS Italian fried rice is no treat. It's the slopping together of random ingredients that couldn't possibly create a harmonious dish. Babish is definitely under the influence of something. The only one who could possibly enjoy this dish is the dumpster. 😁
your definitely one of the best cooking youtubers. I like the way you explain things. plz make more trying recipes videos i like when your in the kitchen
I've been to the Algarve coast two years ago where I saw the ruins of a Roman agricultural estate close by the sea. Besides growing all kind of things there they also had tanks to make salted fish sauce, they also had salt gardens. The fish paste was exported to Rome where it fetched higher prices, supposedly.
Long time ago I read in the Reader's Digest magazine a story from one of the readers. The lady found her grandmother's handwritten cook note book, where among many great recipes were gems like "Green tomato compote recipe" that ended with a sentence "... and continuously stirring pour into the toilet."
"F*ck your Pesto" got me a second time 😆 Simba is a lovely little man! I'm glad that you were able to take him in. I had a rescue dog growing up and she was a sweetheart, so I have a soft spot for rescues and strays - possibly I self-identify with them a bit too much! 😅 Hope that life has been good to you recently 💙
I'm Indian, my wife is Scottish. We had bagpipes playing at our wedding. You should have seen the faces of shock on the Indians. Loved it! Great video, Thanks again James!

@@vlastimilmaselnik Sohla seems like too much of a pain to deal with, she has "HR nightmare" energy.

I’m trying that idea! 👍 (the black vinegar one that is 😂)
I have a spiced black rice vinegar I use sometimes. Mandarin peel, bean paste, ginger, some spices (clove star anise etc).

yeah
but our black vinegar is more liquid not thick
when you put it around the wok
it will evaporate quickly and give you full wok hay

@@ChefJamesMakinson My cat didn't when she was that small either. Now she does, kinda, and she's almost 10 years old and 13 pounds.
IMO if he wants to keep it Italian, he should have used garum instead of balsamic vinegar
The remains of a garum production center is at Tarifa, on the beach: you can wander around the whole setup. It's very interesting.
Just had a personal tragedy today, the bagpipes cheered me up❤ thank you. I would love to see more of simba ❤

Uncle Roger is hilarious but his constant need to jab at Jamie Oliver in videos that are nothing related to him annoy me a lot and a huge reason his content isnt something on my everyday watch list
@@Thomasmemoryscentral I don’t know if Botched has any further motivations beyond just correcting past recipes, and it probably wasn’t made out of "I need to make a video in the next 24 hours; what can I do?" Even him, I can’t say would panic buy an entire wheel of Parmesan.
Bagpipe player. Kitten named Simba.
We need way more of your adorable nerdiness like this. lol
Yes Babish can be very silly! Also, I think the reactions to this from Uncle Roger and Vincenzo are too harsh - it's just a fun challenge. But I guess I'm a sucker for fusion food. Congrats on Simba!! 🐾
Good to know! Thank you!! he was a stray
Not harsh enough!
I don’t think they are harsh.
i dont think they are harsh at all... i dont even have to try to cook his fried rice and i can already taste it in my mouth.... and it's not a good taste. sour is good, slimy can be good but imagine eating rice that is sour and slimy.😪😪
Vincenzo and Uncle Roger go out of their way to be to offended. The "What the fridge" challenge is supposed to be silly. What's the point of doing a normal dish in that series?
Pspspsps Simba! Great vid chef, I think a Spanish fried rice would be fascinating.
He says hi!! I may make it soon! haha
A community that forbids plants is not a community, it's a prison. It's time to break free.
🤣 agreed
Indeed. My HOA can be fussy but no plants is wild.
This. What uptight kind of place are you in that doesn't allow a balcony full of plants?!? Has Spain changed so much? ¡Qué pena!
Ooo are we going to see a new recipe from chef James! Also, cute kitty!!!
yes he is!
This was definitely a "Drinking with Babish" that may or may not have turned into "Sniffing with Babish" then turned into a video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg cat!! So cute! The little meows 😍
🤣😺
9:22 when Babish touches his face with his gloved hand! Blech! Food gunge on face, Face gunge in food. Blech!
You keep scoring points chef , to know that you rescued a stray kitten makes you the . Cheers .⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for that!! 😂 haha he is a very good kitten!
@@ChefJamesMakinson They all are ☺And now Simba must apear more 😁😁it will be the perfect helper.
@@necrobeast6666 make a recipe for Simba! Maybe some poached fish! 😍
@@kathrynturnbull990 😁😁😁😁
I hate when chefs cringe at fusion food, if it tastes good, then that's all that matters. And this looked really good, and I think will taste good as well.
Fusion should be done correctly lol , you build upon the base
From your comment I can just add chocolate coating and all and mix it with poop and tell you yo it's a chocolate cake , have it
Will you ignore the foul smell and eat it based on the looks?
@@drago8076 I did say "if it tastes good", never meant all fusion food is good but chefs always cringe and say this cuisine shouldn't use these ingredients like a strict rule and so on.
@sayanama Exactly.And in the long end of it all, that what matters if it tastes good. Everybody's so focus."Well, that's not the way it's made in China.That's not the way it's made in Italy".Yeah that's the point
In general, I agree, but I'm cringing at the combo of pesto, celery and balsamic - and considering that extra moldy lemon, I'm kind of suspicious of those meatballs, too.
@sayanama this chef isn't rely cringing at fusion foods, but you have to admit, all those ingredients were strange together, and then the added lime must have done something weird to the flavors as well.
Orange kitties are awesome!!! I have one too! They are smart and have great personalities. I’m so happy for you that you got one. I can tell you love it already.
yes they are and very sweet! he is sleeping next to me right now :)
@@ChefJamesMakinson Chef Simba would like you to make a salmon dish. Lol! :)
In Uncle Roger's hometown, Malaysia there are lots of Fried Rice variety Type of Dish + Standard Fried Rice. Such as BBQ Pork Fried rice, Tom Yam Fried Rice and Seafood Fried Rice(just some random seafood mixing in when you fried the rice). If I would like to make Spanish Fried Rice, I will make a Fried Rice with Paella ingredient since both of them are pretty similar.
Malaysia isn't a town, it's a country.
Simultaneously watching 3 videos is so efficient I don’t need to watch at 2x speed.
New setup looks clean btw
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this , hi 👋🏻 Simba ❤welcome to the family
safe to say it didn't just make Uncle Roger's ancestors cry, it made Vincenzo's ancestors cry also.
You playing bag pipes out the largest smile on my face! Thank you for that lol
you are welcome
Kitten is too cute
16:00 check out Tasting History with Max Miller, he’s put out videos on how to make a “quick garum”, something you can do in your kitchen, and a traditional method: salt and cut up whole fish (including guts) in a jar in the summer sun for a few months…. Yes it’s as gross as it sounds, but the final product is a shockingly clear golden liquid
I'll check it out!
@@ChefJamesMakinson as I understand it he’s not professionally trained, he just enjoys finding old (sometimes ancient!) recipes and trying his best to replicate them, and learning & sharing the history around them. So I watch for that content and don’t really worry much about his technique, but I have seen him do some things that wouldn’t fly in a professional kitchen (like wearing a ring while prepping food.)
Congrats on the 300K chef! 🎉 Onwards and upwards. I hope you get that big collaboration soon. 🙌
Thanks so much! :) just wait for next weekend!
@@ChefJamesMakinsonJust saw the new post. Great to see you getting some culinary love. As an Aussie... I hope it's Andy! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Cheers mate. 🍻
Aww James got a cute little kitty!!!! I'm melting of such cuteness!
Yes he is!
Highlight of the video was seeing the kitten. Cute kitty btw, sweet that you adopted a street kitty.
Congratulations on 300K subscribers. Congratulations on adopting Simba! ❤
I love bagpipes so hearing you play was an extra treat. THIS Italian fried rice is no treat. It's the slopping together of random ingredients that couldn't possibly create a harmonious dish. Babish is definitely under the influence of something. The only one who could possibly enjoy this dish is the dumpster. 😁
Thank you so much!! and he says hi!! :)
That's so cool James. I didn't know you played bagpipes.
I like how you want to give him material to work with haha! Love your videos c:
Thank you! 😊
Finally got to see a clip of you playing bag pipes after you mentioned in a video before
🤣
your definitely one of the best cooking youtubers. I like the way you explain things. plz make more trying recipes videos i like when your in the kitchen
Thank you! the following week I am cooking again!
Great video, love the editing, enjoy your commentary… yep, I’ll subscribe!
thank you!
Getting a thumbs up just for the bagpipes playing alone. Loved it!!!
Thank you!
Amazing video, thank you for the quality content! And Simba is the cutest 😍
yes he is! :)
I've been to the Algarve coast two years ago where I saw the ruins of a Roman agricultural estate close by the sea. Besides growing all kind of things there they also had tanks to make salted fish sauce, they also had salt gardens. The fish paste was exported to Rome where it fetched higher prices, supposedly.
Long time ago I read in the Reader's Digest magazine a story from one of the readers. The lady found her grandmother's handwritten cook note book, where among many great recipes were gems like "Green tomato compote recipe" that ended with a sentence "... and continuously stirring pour into the toilet."
300k woohoo , congrats Chef James 🎉 👌
Thank you!
Cute kitty now featured member of Chef James' videos, just when I thought things couldn't get better!!!
🤣🤣🤣
nice playing 1:11
Thank you!
"F*ck your Pesto" got me a second time 😆
Simba is a lovely little man! I'm glad that you were able to take him in. I had a rescue dog growing up and she was a sweetheart, so I have a soft spot for rescues and strays - possibly I self-identify with them a bit too much! 😅
Hope that life has been good to you recently 💙
Thank you! he is a sweet little kitten
CAT! I love cats! You couldn't possibly done more convincing thing to rewatch your content over and over 😄
He's so adorable ❤
yes he is!! :)
I love bagpipes and I wasn't expecting you to play them, James. Nice video reaction!
Thanks! 😃
Babish was not entirely the same after his mental breakdown
I would definitely be willing to try something similar to this. Fusion foods can be fun and delicious, but more thought needs to be put into it.
Hi Simba. Thank you for all your fun videos.
Glad you like them!
Congratulations on 300K!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🏆🏆🏆
And yes, I feel like that he was under the influence of something.
Thank you so much!!
Lots of purrs from little Simba. That’s a very happy kitten 😸
🤣😺
I'm Indian, my wife is Scottish. We had bagpipes playing at our wedding. You should have seen the faces of shock on the Indians. Loved it! Great video, Thanks again James!
😂😂 you are welcome!
