biggest and baddest asian grocery store in boston this place has it all this is our third and theoretically final time to try to impress uncle rob even when driving nephew nick's still fluent in language of hand high yeah drive the car properly and what with that jacket you're going to grocery store not antarctica [Music] what what puffer coat with short who wear like that your top say winter and your bottom say you skip leg day again the final ingredient we need is thai eggplants we found this very small store we got we just found another thai market that has thai eggplants instead of japanese we've got the proper ones so what uses this japanese eggplant to me anymore we make the joke everywhere is it purple or something why do eggplant always remind you of your pee without further ado let's get started nice to begin our pace we're going to first toast off one teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of coriander toasting is really going to start to break toasting spices correct toasting spice a lot like checking your privilege many white people forget to do it bring out that flavor and in my opinion it is a necessary step to make the perfect card now the key to our paste is going to be using a mortar and pestle and grinding this by hand mata and peso that peppercorns our general rule of thumb is that we're going to start with the harder ingredients in here correct correct gradually working those softer ingredients throughout the paste to begin let's grind these hard to soft good technique for pestle and mortar and hard to solve is also what uncle roger feel when i see nephew nick in that ugly ass outfit sorry children okay grinding once we ground it into a fine powder like this we're ready to add that next ingredient lemongrass lemon cross correct now into our mortar we go with two stalks of chopped lemongrass immediately i'm gonna grind again because of how flatbreast and hard no no no no the grinding work for dry spices correct but everything else you need to pound you need to go like this not like this what is this motion go see how much wind mother and lord pound that what you need to do now it's time to prep our next few ingredients here you have to chop up this peel off some of that lumpy kaffir lime zest nice slime says cookie seven or eight cloves of garlic garlic good and of course whenever we add garlic or onions we can't forget to add a little salt yeah osmo sword osmo saw his nephew nick own band of socks not uncle roger want my own line of msg uncle roger only have clothing as much like this uncle roger polo see if you want to get this polo with the uncle roger logo on it he's a nephew go to uncle rogermerch.com and get this polo then wear it to come see me on tour next year uncle roger will roast everybody in crowd who wear orange polo you buy my much and then you get roasted that money well spent uncle roger local white color because if i use black color orange and black just remind me of certain website once again we grind i pound i've been grinding this now for about 10 to 12 minutes and it looks like this going by hand with a mortar and pestle this is about as fine as you're gonna get it it takes so long because you're not pounding you're just stirring nephew nick if you think this motion is pounding then you have to apologize to your girlfriend if you're pounding make no sound you [ __ ] up listen if you remember pounding is in and out not going in circle like some tumble dryer [ __ ] what he'd go into bedroom and then he just go now it's time to crank up the green chili good time to go in with however many thai green chilies you want maybe a bit more than that the season there i'm getting a lot better with [ __ ] you want your green curry to have very green color if you like you can also add a few of these red chilies as well i'm just going to add water too yeah one or two red chili okay green colored curry and now before we grind that up we want to go with about a half cup of cilantro stem no no not cilantro stem authentic kai green curry use cilantro root cilantro root very hard to get in western grocery store anchorage is so frustrated cannot get cilantro root anywhere here in uk i think i'm gonna escape this country be refugee now once we've ground this all up what you're looking at right here is thai basil thai pestle now this is no ordinary basil this stuff right here is the best of the best basil i'll go in with one wait no no no don't put the thai basil in peso and malta thai basil go in at the end of cooking it's not pesto you're just trying to make pesto now yeah thai basil trying to keep out those stems if i can then one half cup of these dried kaffir lime kefir lime leaf correct but get better lime leaf it's so dry inside of which pyramid you get this lime leaf from did he just indiana jones into the pyramid that's the dead pharaoh and he just steal kefir lambly from term high yeah why so dry soda dry that leaf dryer than anti-hell and how to use and finally to finish up this paste i'll go in with about five shallots shallot correct optionally just a tiny touch of this shrimp cake optionally just a tiny touch of this shrimp paste shrimp is correct not optional don't be [ __ ] eat your shrimp paste easily the least appetizing ingredient we're using today but just like fish sauce which we'll add later it adds depth to the overall flavor of this dish so many white people fear shrimp paste you want him look at nephew nick you're so little put mushroom paste nephew nick use the right amount not the white amount and one last time we pound we're gonna take you to pound time ah yeah you both should start only fan no particular joint because nephew nick looked too young if i joined your only fan i feel like pito uncle this right here is the foundation of our recipe and it is a beautiful smooth curry paste that we've worked hard to achieve now it's time to let our rice cooker get to work ooh rice cooker good rice first and here i have rinsing rice correct make sure you clean your third tea brain also well the water runs clear once we've rinsed off that rice into our rice cooker it goes he used same rice cooker as uncle roger you see my rice cooker back there see same one just different color to know how much water to add we'll use the classic finger message the first notch on my finger we know it's ready now someone's been watching all uncle roger video netflix learning uncle roger is so happy i feel like saying yeah yeah time to cook our rice [Music] time to break down this whole chicken right here to begin i like to slice in on the skin between each of the legs now we can separate off both of those legs and what you're looking at right here is both thigh we feel for that joint between the thigh and the drum and we chop straight you can cut off these wing tips and set them aside for a while now once again all too long then cleanly trim off those wings at this point by the fact that the skin is covering up the boob we just need to remove both of the breasts two hours later set that carcass aside for later use and that right there is a perfectly butchered two breasts finally two drums two wings and two thighs i mean that all correct technique all correct but that's the difference between western and asian cooking western cooking so many steps so many procedures asian cooking just use feeling go see how much weed mother-in-law chopped chicken she just whack it like it owe her money after that long hour wait here's our beautiful white rice and it even comes with a free facial yeah another dirty joke and uncle roger gonna give you a free facial and you don't even need to wait 60 minutes now just before we start assembling our curry i've also decided to make a nice basil oil by simply bleaching basil oil basil that will ultimately be able to dry for our final dish in addition to some this is some western chef call me [ __ ] peso oil nobody in thailand make better off a thai green curry what you doing no need so fancy that'll add a nice flavorful thai basil pop it's time to bring everything together and it doesn't take long to start i'll go with just a bit of water immediately follow our beautiful homemade curry paste water and curry paste in first that's the home style cooking technique same technique mark wien mata and law use we'll add up our chopped diced bite-sized chicken correct and dice i don't know why i said both of those at the same time followed by just a few more kaffir lime leaves next often times people will use coconut milk for this but you actually want to use coconut cream so that the oil doesn't separate wait what what he say what what but you actually want to use coconut cream so that the oil doesn't separate hi yeah that's the biggest mistake you make so far nephew nick you want the oil to separate the thin layer of oil on top of green curry that what make green curry taste good mug queen mother-in-law don't let oil separate because she put chicken in with the skin you remove chicken skin from your chicken where the oil gonna come from nephew nick where this thick coconut cream right here it's thick mistake part i mean tell me that doesn't look good and now it's time to toss in these eggplant eggplant look nice toss these in along with some chocolate no no no no no no you cannot use red pepper for thai green curry nobody do that where you learned this from the the thing in the name green green curry if this look green to you you color blind color and if you're not worried about things being too spicy a few more red see one or two red chilli enough that okay touch my palm sugar correctional sweetener that would be used in thai cooking fish sauce very good because we can always add more later a few add more add more fish sauce queen of flavor it's the only thing that can replace msg in your food torn up thai basil leaves and another little pinch of salt okay okay [Music] see it look a bit too white because not enough green chili but that okay i think that's more subjective once we brought this to a boil we're nearly there i'm going to add in just a bit more thai basil as well as some freshly cut red pepper that's going to be why and chris why you add more wrong things why not you need as well as some freshly cut red pepper that's going to be nice and crisp for that texture and what's that texture texture useless if the thing wrong if you want texture what do you just add salt dust salt has so much texture you got the dustiness so much texture yeah i tasted that green curry and made sure that all i mean most ingredients correct so i'm sure it still tastes good plate or thai green curry i'll start with just some of my rice next i'll come in with my nice hot green curry and put it right over the top everybody watching i begin to describe to you the smells that are coming off of this pan right now the amount of effort look at this green curry you can't see a layer of oil on it we'll finish this entire dish off oh that why he make the basil oil he want to cheat to get the green oil color green basil oil which i must say i'm equally proud of and this here is an authentic thai green card nephew nick you improved so much from the first ramen weejo i revealed and uncle roger never put my leg down from chair so i give you that you make three big mistake here pounding technique not good you should want the oil to separate and please no red pepper in thai green curry go subscribe to nephew nick because i think his next video he gonna earn uncle tito miss and nephew thank you for wonderful year merry christmas to all my niece and nephew happy holiday yeah yeah this chef looks so young i think he the cook for abstinence even when driving nephew nick's still fluid in language of hand high yeah drive your car don't drive me crazy toasting spice a lot like checking your privilege so many white people forget to do it [Music] encourages so well [Music] use the right amount not the white amount that's a really good i'm very proud of that one i'm very proud of that one because nephew nick looked too young if i joined your only fan i feel like pito uncle which is very common type of uncle by the way i don't know why that stereotype about uncle being pito uncle roger wants to find out maybe i make a documentary to answer the burning question why do so many uncle become peter what make them pedo [Music] this is an encourage video not a podcast stop riffing with yourself so much oh yeah i have a podcast now too so maybe that's that's what's influencing it uh nieces and nephews go support me you know uh it's called the haiya podcast link will be in the description go check it out first episode is up right now
