cold in here yep how we doing folks I'm fond of all of you Fon Fon Fon so we tonight we're making some fried rice it's been brought to my attention that's the recipe isn't as as authentic and as as as authentic as it could be and I totally recognize that I am it's very new for me I'm not it's not something I'm very experienced making but there's a very easy recipe to make fried rice that kind of tastes like the stuff that you get at a Japanese Steakhouse sort of at a hibachi place here in the States I would love to learn more about how fried rice is properly made so I'm very excited to be heading over to Japan later this year hopefully and possibly China as well so hopefully I'll pick up a few things here we have some super chats already what's up folks Jonathan Dean gave $5 thank you

see we got 199 from Ocarina gaming cool Zelda reference bro what can I use instead of soy sauce that's tricky you know for how to rice without soy sauce that's a little bit hard to imagine I know that we're going to use a stir sauce as our primary sort of in green D I mean we're using a 50/50 ratio what's your thoughts so but generally people use a little bit more oyster sauce so you could probably you probably get away with that if you're worried about gluten allergies or celiac disease you can get gluten-free soy sauce it's readily available go check that out if you just don't like soy sauce I don't say man you could maybe try using some a little bit of malt vinegar might be cool you just want to give that color you want to give some of those you know sort of umami flavors that you get with soy sauce so just try to think mommy try to think savory add extra mushrooms and you know anything you can do the up the umami content we got a bunch of super chats coming in here let me see here we

using one day old rice for fried rice it's super important that is absolutely true you need to use leftover fried rice right now I'm not going to use day-old rice however I'm going to try and create a close approximation by taking the cooked for white rice that I have just off camera here and throwing it in the fridge in fact we should do that right now before you guys give any more super chests please hold off on the super chest for just one minute I'm gonna go through the rest but hold off for just a minute because I want to fridge the rice that we have here and then while it's cooling off

comments please try and hit us up here and we'll try answer it if you have any questions thank you so much Kumar zero one two three four said it is extra using vert is using extra virgin olive oil okay for cooking fried rice and cooking chicken yes the only time you don't want to use extra virgin olive oil is when you want a super high heat applications it's smokes sooner at a lower temperature than other hype smoke point oils like sunflower oil safflower seed oil that's will even it smokes much sooner so use caution when when cooking at higher temperatures okay here we go I'm gonna stop after these three guys so hold off for just a minute new member ice warm thank you for joining iceworm Chloe Godard gave $10 thank you I got your cookbook for Christmas I love you I love you too Chloe thank you for the very generous super Chad I hope you enjoy the book and keep an eye out for the next book it's coming out in fall of 2019 it's gonna have the first hundred recipes from binging with babish but I hope you enjoy we watch in the mean time and we got a new member Trevor 3rd 3rd Badu 3rd Badu I don't know thank you for joining Trevor okay guys I am going to quickly get this rice in the fridge and we can get back to chatting okay there we go back I'm a thief all right so to do this we need a couple simple things I'm going to grab this sheet pan here this guy we want as much surface area as possible so the rice is gonna cool off quicker and I can't remember the exact reason why why leftover fried rice is the ideal rice for I'm sorry leftover rice is the ideal rice for fried rice I think it's because it dehydrates you know when you when you when you fridge your leftover white rice when you order Chinese food its it becomes really like crunchy and and it doesn't have the same texture as it used to I believe that it dehydrates and that makes it ideal for frying because it makes it doesn't it makes it not as mushy I think I'm not entirely sure looks like this is a little hot I'm gonna I'm gonna close down this camera just a smidge we mustn't have blown out highlights like that that's good enough a couple of couple blown out huh no no no perfectionist I went to film school care more about the hysteric that I do that okay here we go all right so we're gonna get this some fridge and let's see there we go there we go all right and we want to spread this out so I cooked this rice I know people were upset about me not using a rice steamer but first off I don't have a rice steamer and second off this is like the closest way you can make rice the way you'd make it in a rice steamer without a rest steamer by pouring it into the boiling water a nice hot water covering it and baking it at about 375 for whatever specified time the package says mine says 20 minutes and you're in you end up with perfect white rice this is fluffy it's not sticky it's not goopy it's way better than making it on the stove top stovetop rice for me at least always is ruined so I don't think I made it enough here but dule now so I'm going to spread this out and ice it then because we only I we don't have too much time here tonight so I just wanted to chill out for like 30 minutes when that is going to get it nice and you know a nice approximation to leftover our day-old rice and you know I'm actually gonna leave it uncovered because that's gonna help it sort of dehydrate in the same way that it would if we're in there overnight so I'm just gonna throw it in there uncovered here we go oh my god that's a lot of cheese I forgot about all that cheese okay but what she's my fridge because um because of next week's episode of binging which I guess I'll tell you guys I'm gonna be taking a crack at some the pizza ball from Eric Andre time to deliver a pizza ball don't you know so we're gonna we're gonna take a crack at that and my idea there's a few different ways that we want to try and make it so we have a lot of cheese in that fridge I probably have I probably have like seven pounds of mozzarella in that fridge because we have a lot of different iterations we want to try okay so I've missed a couple super chats I'm just gonna hit these real quick

James Cross gave $35 thank you so much they're bothering me from the start but why don't you get a stove you need to manually light I can't imagine the changes and I think it seems like it's just more work I'll tell you it's because this is a commercial stove this commercial oven and it's it has an extremely powerful pilot light that heats up the whole room when it's on so I'm thinking about lighting it because it's winter now so it's it's not that bad but during the summer it just makes it unbearable so I killed the pilot light and that just means I have to light it manually otherwise it heats up the whole room because it's it's meant to be used in a restaurant it's not meant to be in at home so yeah that's that's why I know it's a little a little confusing but that's that's the reason thank you very much for your extremely generous super chat Alex James cross appreciate it I just saw a super chat disappear I'm so sorry somebody gave you $5.00 new member of maryam/mary Mars

mellifluous voice of yours I like your like your your choice of of adjectives there man and hello from New York thank you for tuning in from Syria and thank you for your very generous super chat and we got a bucks from CW for PWR no comment there but thank you very much for your super chat ok guys what do you say we get cooking ok we're like 40 minutes deep and we haven't done any cooking I am so grateful for everybody's super chat I know I missed some there I'm very very sorry thank you so much to anyone that I missed thank you for your for your generosity I'm very sorry that I missed you and please tune in next time and hopefully I won't miss you next time Sawyer is there anything pressing before I get started I could update you on the favorite Wegmans I found in the comments here we go what's the favorite Wegmans so we got Tucker his local Wegmans is Cherry Hill New Jersey which I've been to is very nice has a bit of that we're too good section yep yep gorgeous I think that's the closest one to us right yeah there's one other like a little western or something but yeah I think so okay then you know the one problem with these non Rochester Wegmans though is as everyone knows they're not 24 hours while the Wegmans in Rochester are all 24 hours speaking of we got Zachary young his hometown Wegmans was one we know quite well Henrietta of calkins Road real solid Wegmans picks here and I saved the best for last tina Howard Pittsford Wegmans and she's giving a little tip that they just introduced fresh doughnuts Pittsford Wegmans staying on top like always get out of here that is the best Wegmans I'm sorry folks but that is the absolute best one I'm just gonna quickly address a couple super chats here we got rocks at dark wolf gave ten dollars how much do you time do you spend cleaning I love you in your videos thank you so much dr. Rock Raksha I spend a lot of time cleaning I'd say it's not about as much time cleaning as I do cooking yeah a lot of dishes come out of this out of this place happily I have a little dishwasher but this is New York City so it is a half size dishwasher you can see it from the other camera angle when we go over the stove later you'll be able to see it but it's it is a half size dishwasher but it certainly helps I'm in New York City so I cannot complain Kamikaze Kirk gave five Australian dollars I thought au was Australian blue ever oh good morning from Australia mystery solve have you made ice cream what is your favorite recipe for ice cream I have made ice cream twice two different episodes go check out the lovers delights from from 30 rock and check out the I did basic an episode of basics on ice cream so go check those out and give it a shot I love chocolate ice cream so the I think I only made chocolate ice cream I work for cuisine solutions love washing your sous vide work come play in our kitchen for international sous-vide day we were just talking about international food holidays today and we're stunned by how many there are I saw a national nut milk day or a national plant milk day or something like that so I would love to check that out your name went away something solutions do you remember what was called I can rule shoot me an email with binging with babish at gmail.com and we'll work something out I'd love to come play in your playground Roberto Nevarez gave five dollars and said hey man loved the show I've tried a bunch of your recipes you inspired me to cook you should try tortoise I hold on us I cannot say I've heard of that but I love a good torta so I will definitely look into that thank you very much for your super chat and thank you for tuning in and hanging out I say that we should probably get started on the cooking because I see that we finally slowed down the super chats thank you guys so much again that's incredibly generous I'm just gonna throw this in the sink okay and let me check on our rice let's see if the rice is cooled off yet oh yeah so obviously you want to use day-old rice but this is completely cooled off so it's at least going to be halfway well maybe not uh-huh it tastes totally fresh oh that's okay really I mean if you want to make great fried rice you need baled rice you need you need leftover rice that's been chilling overnight in the fridge and we don't have that today so we're just gonna have to do this and just hope that it comes out okay it's not going to be as good as the real stuff we got $10 from Jessica Lodge what is your fate worse cooking catastrophe I once caught my oven on the fire from it'll properly fold and croissants how did that happen did like they weren't properly folded so what they they expanded too much and they hit the roof of the oven something that sounds terrifying my worst cooking catastrophe huh I can't say that I have ever had anything you know horrendous like that happen that sounds really scary sorry that that happens I've just really horribly messed up recipes I think my worst experience that I've had in the kitchen was back in high school I was trying to impress my girlfriend's parents at the time and I made my go-to dish at the time which was chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese and artichoke hearts and I took him out of the oven and we sat down to dinner and we cut him open and they were raw on the inside and I was back in high school and I wasn't a real person yet I was being a little obnoxious little prick so I was like mad like I wasn't embarrassed or apologetic I was pissed off so that was probably my worst experience it was probably one of my worst moments honestly Makayla Cassidy gave $5 thank you so much for all your videos you've inspired the small town country girl to expand her horizons in the kitchen I love you I love you too look at Makayla thank you very much for your kind comment for your super chat and please keep expanding your horizons in the kitchen it's a lot of fun we're gonna try and do that a little bit tonight with this very Americanized fried rice uh-huh so not too we're not expanding them too much we could be doing better but maybe fried rice part two we'll try and tackle some really really you know legit fried rice so we're also going to pretend that this rice has been hanging out I didn't make me nearly enough this is less but it's okay we're just gonna make a small portion that's what we'll do so I mentioned in the episode that I think and have learned from resources such as America's Test Kitchen that the best vessel for cooking fried rice in the home where you don't have a commercial stove I do have a commercial stove but even this one doesn't put out the kind of BTUs you need to really properly cook on a walk because if I grab my walk here and show you this is actually my buddy Steve's walk if you guys have ever seen the episodes breaking bad episode or the the house of cards BBQ episode that's Steve's house and I stole his walk and I have given it back yet but you'll notice that it has an incredibly small area not incredibly small but it has a small area that's actually in contact with the flame on a home stove the flame is not reaching up here and if it is it's not very hot all the heats get in here right here which means that the only part of your food that's cooking is right here everything else up here is not getting cuts so this is fun to cook in but unless you have like the true BTUs to crank it out there's a little attachment that you can buy that will replace your ovens I have no idea what it's called but these on the stove the I don't know the thing that lets the gas out it's a much larger one that lets a lot more gas out so you get a much hotter flame J Kenji Lopez all uses one and that's better for wok cooking at home but if you don't have one of those honestly you're gonna make the best fried rice and this guy right here because it has much more surface area that's gonna be yeah it's gonna be directly in contact with the flame so just I know it's not as cool it's not as genuine but just just just just go with that okay all right I'm gonna hang this back up here Cameron there we go and how about we I'm gonna throw this back in the fridge and we can do a little bit of meson plus how about that that's an important parts of the preparation of fried rice so let me grab the scallions there so I need two crushed cloves of garlic that's probably gonna be the way to go let me just try to read these real fast while I have here Jessica L gave $14.99 and said I'm visiting New York and February what are some restaurants that should visit I mean what are some restaurants you shouldn't visit there's so that didn't make any sense there's so many restaurants here in New York obviously that you need to visit if you're in the mood for ramen go check out toto ramen on 52nd Street and ninth Avenue I think that's the best ramen in the city for Italian go check out Emilio's Palazzo down here and so it's no reservations kind of place it's got just the the best simple red sauce it's all in classics I've ever had in my entire life so elevated and sublime is absolutely wonderful and I would I would I would say more but we got we got some more super shots here cliff Sierra Sanchez said hey babish love your vids and your ink where do you go love from Queens New York I used to live in Queens Queens is a great place love love from from Soho I've gotten these tattoos everywhere two of them my my two most recent ones my salon for tattoo and my gavel I both got it soho inc here and so it's on Lafayette Street it's a really great shop really high-end go check it out we got kalmyk kalmyk who gave 200 are you bees I'm not entirely sure what that is but thank you for whatever that is Ava I just want to tell you how your videos inspired me to start learning how to cook at an actual uni thanks for everything you are doing please keep it up thank you for a very very kind comment for a generous super chat and good luck to you I wish you all the best in your pursuit of that field that is that is a very impressive thing that you're doing no no gave 499 said just want to say thank you for getting me into cooking I was afraid try cooking but you made it fun of my eyes thanks for that you're welcome and thank you for the very very kind super chat and comment mo get 5 bucks and said how can I avoid getting my cooking videos be monetized and I want to include small movie clip of the food I'm cooking - like you do in your videos I don't really have a strategy for you there I put the clip in a small window so YouTube doesn't recognize it and also I'm doing commentary on it so it's it's it's fair use and sometimes I've been hit with D monetization strikes but we've we've fought back on those and they've been redacted so I would just be very careful don't try not to you know try to find another way to talk about what you're doing without actually showing it you know I or don't monetize just yet like I didn't monetize my videos for a year because I wanted to get it to where I wanted to get the channel to where I wanted it to be and and I wanted to be able to use the movie clips and I just so you know I guess just try and work on making the content grow and monetize it once it once it reaches a point where you're able to contact YouTube and really like you know delve into the whole copyright strike thing it's it's tricky man I'm sorry I wish I had better advice for you but um it's it's tricky so Sawyer's an attorney he could help you better than I can yeah I mean at the end of the day acquaint yourself with the elements of fair use just google you at the United States copyright fair use and make sure you're hitting the elements that are most relevant to your content you know it's informative it's referencing the content that you're clipping and be judicious with your clip don't use too much use a little bit make it small make it clearly not a copy of someone else's work but rather a commentary on that specific thing yeah you also notice that I only use I I never used more than 30 seconds of the clip in a you know three to ten minute long video so they wouldn't really have much of the case for my creating you know replacements or for their content in the market nobody's nobody's tuning in to my show to what to watch their favorite show instead of you know going to Hulu and watching it there like that doesn't make any sense so they yeah exactly I just yeah look look into the look into the law listen to my man over there and be careful and if you're making a show about recreating foods from movies and television forget everything I said and just just do whatever you want getting sorry good luck to you and yeah you'll figure it out we got a couple we got here we got 499 from Jesus del Gallo so he don't good deal honey butter chicken biscuit yes I used to work for Whataburger glad you enjoyed it recommend the sweet and spicy bacon burger if you ever come back Texas I will definitely check that out I plan on going back to Texas I love Austin I had water burger in Plano Texas where my ex lived and I cannot say that I'm anxious to go back there again for so many reasons but yes I am definitely excited to go back texts again it's like a whole other country and some great food there some great times to be had especially in Austin I don't know if you guys have ever floated the river in Austin but that is just something that everybody in this fine world deserves to do at least once in their life get get a little toasted on a few beers floating down a lazy river and a hot day there are a few things finer in this world okay we got some garlic preps here we're just gonna crush that in later on down the line I'm going to pre slice up a couple scallions here this is going to be added late in the game but again we're doing meson floss right now it's the practice of getting all of your elements ready to go so when the you know when it comes time for me to have the scallions instead of coming over here and having to chop up some scallions I'll just be able to scoop them up send them over and speaking of which I have some shitake mushrooms here that are pre sliced I know this is kind of a bush-league move and I apologize but it means that they're clean that means I don't have to you know wipe them off or rinse them which can really ruin your mushrooms texture and you know I'm able to just kind of just toss them in no problemo okay let me make sure that we're on point here oh boy Ariana Gonzalez gave five dollars and said your videos have been a great resource and companion when I cook chance we have more bedtime with powders to look forward to thanks so much I should have recorded some bedtime with babish for Christmas I'm sorry about that I'll definitely be getting back into that now that I have a company that will help me edit it down because that was the hardest part was reading and then cutting out all the parts where I messed up pizza money gave five dollars and said pizza Monday thanks man I'm going to use that for getting Pizza clash guitars gave five bucks and said I really like basics I like the really basic straightforward production of your videos since it's inspiring as a video creator thanks thank you so much glad you like it and good luck with your videos his name is clash guitars everybody go check it out Derek Hill gave five dollars and said I got Julia Child's cookbook as a gift and struggled with both working on until I saw your video thanks for making a complex recipe understandable that is the gotta be the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me that then I made Julia Child's recipes like more accessible that's that's crazy to hear but thank you very much for saying it and everybody go check out Julia Child's cooking videos because they are like the genesis of cooking videos as we know them now let's see eMac fifty nine gave five dollars and said love your vids re kitchen disasters on Thanksgiving I dropped my pie upside down the rug and had to get some desserts delivered instead Oh sucks I'm sorry especially knowing how much effort goes into a pie that has got to be very painful to to see your pie flip upside down there Mack Robertson gave five dollars and said can you tell us some more about being with babish yes I absolutely we can being with babish is going to be a vlog style series that is going to follow my sort of daily exploits in the cool exciting fun things that I get to do as a result of making these shows it's going to involve a bunch of travel it's going to evolve bunch of cooking it's gonna be mainly culinarily focused but it is a lifestyle show it's gonna be about two fun stuff I get to do sometimes meeting celebrities sometimes building big strange contraptions for the sake of binging episodes and it's also going to have a law a large giveaway element I don't want to give away too much sorry but there's going to be a monthly feature where we're going to be basically working with sponsors to change somebody's life in a culinary way that's all I'm gonna say right now but I think that you guys are gonna like it it's gonna be a very be a very heartwarming show I think it's gonna it's gonna have a lot of things that will just hopefully make you smile maybe learn a thing if you're not careful you just might learn a thing or two and I think you guys are gonna enjoy it it will be I can't I can't give you an exact form airdates right now but I can tell you that it will prepare with the four million subscriber special which should be in the spring right now conservative projections put that around March or April so April um so keep an eye out for it in April or May at the latest probably unless you know people start on subscribing to me so keep an eye out for that being with babish will premiere in the spring and it's going to be a fun vlog day and life stuff that kind of thing all right guys let's head on over the stovetop over here so sorry to sneak up on you with that sorry we are we are we good they were good but all right we got some quick things to mention there is a rubber band under the mushrooms just give a shout-out to Chris meesa for being the first person I noticed to tell me that do you see it is it there I there was a rubber band I threw it away I think I think I threw it away suddenly and you got him nice yeah we watched that magic show - the magic for humans or whatever we watched that today so now I'm trying to be trying to be [ __ ] yeah no no rubberband but thank you for the heads up I did there was a rubber band from the from the scallions that was here and I I tossed it a second ago so sorry if that see in the garbage but thank you very much for the heads up I know that those things like that have happened before there was some plastic and something that I made one time and that was no fun okay let me just make sure that we're all good here we got we got we need some eggs that's something we need we need to lightly beaten eggs I'm gonna grab the rice out of the fridge here and I mean I'm also actually I needed to make like a half oh this is something else I need to put right here right here I need to prep the ham okay let's make a little room here it's closed fridge okay I need to cut me up some ham I got this nice this is my favorite thing in the world this thing is called a hand I get I got this nice ham and I get here slice that open let's get that nugget let's get that dog over there for the drug lingo yeah we got our ham nugget it's got a little bit of ham nugget juice ham nugget as the new mint is the new member of the babish family now I don't know if I can cook this guy he's part of me I'm kidding you're about to be eaten by me this novel okay so went way to light on the rice so I'm gonna go a little light on the everything else here I just want like um some nice bite-sized chunks of ham so I'm just gonna chop this guy up like this into a chunk aru's stuff that you know we can still pick up with our with our chopsticks eating rice with chopsticks by the way is a life skill that's we should all have really because it's um Mumbai resan when you go on a date and you're your date picks up his or her sticks and you're just like before please so you know be worldly when we learn these skills okay that seems like a good amount of ham right there for the amount of rice and the other stuff we have I'm going to eat a part of this because guess what your boy loves ham mmm that's a good note that's a good ham ham nod okay now another thing we can do let's prep our sauces so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to grab this guy here I'm gonna grab my oyster sauce which let's see here's my oyster sauce and I'm doing um I'm doing a ratio of like 50/50 oyster of soy and I'm going to make an addition that I should have made that people rightfully pointed out come on here we go get on out of there come on now I paid good money free to do a little bit of work here that'll do it there we go there's the oyster sauce nobody make a gift of this please thank you okay that's way too much what we're doing we just we just need like oh no that's not too much that's that's actually fine just a couple tablespoons each that should that should do it and the addition that I'm going to make here and this is super important I've got some toasted soy I'm sorry toasted sesame oil and this oh god that smells so good that is gonna be a nice addition that was probably too much but it's okay stuff is pretty strong but I mean I can't imagine having uh having fried rice and being late he says too much sesame this is I think this is gonna be just right I'm gonna get a little taste just to make sure what does the boy stur sauce made of native oysters oyster extract Wow disgusting phrase hmm oh that's good okay I might not use all of it as we we're making a pretty small dose of fried rice here ooh that's way straight okay one more little hunk of ham here cuz your boys pretty hungry your boys pretty hungry okay so got a garlic you got our mushrooms scallions some soy sauce oyster sauce sesame oil ham I've got a rice back there yeah about two cups of rice which is not nearly enough we need our frozen edamame right back there this is supposed to be thawed but I think I can just spread pea to be fine mmm maybe not okay maybe we're going with that some and we're going with that with that moment or anything with green today I got some frozen broccoli I don't feel like it bro sorry okay let's get cooking here we go let's head on over to am I missing anything vital source should we get should we get started cooking yeah I think we should get started okay let's do it so first things first we need two eggs lightly beaten and this this method is largely adapted it's got some changes to it but the the the methodology of cooking one elements at a time is largely adapted from America's Test Kitchen which is as many of you know like my favorite resource in the world for um for recipes they really do an amazing job of simplifying and and explaining the science behind really great cooking so you can adapt it to everything you do it's it's a it's a it's it's a really great resource they you know it's not free they they do it does cost you I think it's four bucks a month or something like that but man if you're trying to learn how to cook it is worth it I did this one a little bit of Show welcome here come on I know you're supposed to use the eggshell to fish out of shell fragments but they threw it away there we go look clear sorry about that no eggshell fragments hey Lester fry please all right we just want to beat that up a little bit okay now I believe the egg is the first thing that we cook and then we're gonna also have some shrimp here I got some shrimp here in the fridge there we go definitely got too much that's okay all right so what's the garlic the garlic and garlic okay so with the veggies okay we got you know our shrimp is here about half a pound of shrimp apart I probably only use half of this but those go in second we start with the yeah okay so let's head on over to the stovetop Phyllis there we go we're in another camera - welcome to camera - I'm going to hit this with a little bit of vegetable oil just a bit and as I said before I got no pilot light active on this on the stove so I do need to hit it with a torch we're growing medium medium-high heat here we want these eggs to cook very quickly and you know what's actually a great a great tool for cooking eggs is chopsticks because it gives you the ability to move the eggs around a lot and just if you're soft crab legs it's a great way to go and we're really not trying to get these eggs hard or dried out we want them nice and soft and just just just barely set I'm just grabbing a big bowl over here because while we cook each element we're cooking the eggs followed by the shrimp followed by the veggies and ham and and so as each element cooks we need to dump it into the into the bowl and keep it hot so once this pan gets nice and hot which for any newcomers this this is a great learners pan this is the t-fal professional and it's got this great heat indicator in the center here you can see that you can see a little pattern there circles and T's and once it is pre heated those go away and you're left with a solid red circle so you're gonna see that goes solid red it's great for just sort of learning your stove and learning your pans and just like at what point things already before you know it you're gonna be able to do it without looking or touching or thrown another you know the the classic way to tell if your pan is for you to just spark a little water in there and if it sizzles it's ready to go but you know after doing this enough you're not gonna need to do that you're gonna feel when your pans ready you're gonna see your oil shimmering or smoking or whatever you want it to do I'm just finishing up a little bit of champagne here and a totally inappropriate glass should have I don't have any flutes so I just had to use this sorry-sorry and I are celebrating our our reunion after a long long few days apart not used to it boy I miss them and it sounds like I'm being facetious right now you know what [ __ ] you I'm not there I just swore whoops okay so you can see you can see the the circle went fully went here pretty much so it's it's ready to go as soon as I had these eggs they're gonna sizzle oh well how about that what are you freaking though okay so now we're just keeping everything moving as much as possible yeah we want these eggs to just set look at that they're done that's it you thought I was kidding I wasn't that was like 10 seconds well these eggs to Jess I do want to break them up a little bit because we want them to be bite-sized we don't there's nothing worse than making fried rice and getting like a mouthful egg you just want a little bit of egg you know okay boom easy peasy okay so that's not we're gonna return the pan over a medium high heat hit it with a little bit more oil a little bit more than that and we're gonna start dropping some strips for Frankie's here we go I'm gonna keep using the chopsticks they're probably gonna be easy for flipping the shrimp there we go we got some nice sizzle I don't know if you guys can hear that I'll do the ASMR thing in a minute where I jump down in there and give you guys a quote-unquote close-up of the lovely sounds all right we got our shrimps in there let's make them all just make all the shrimps okay okay swirl the lump around a little bit make sure everybody's got some oil on them Eddie get a little flame going a little couple fun flames huh end up that yeah all right so for the people okay we got our shrimp sauteing go that's known as already kind of smelling like like fried rice here because we got the got the egg we got some shrimp gone this got me good guys it's not going to be enough for me and Saul ready for dinner I don't think but some two cups of rice that seems like it should be right like in theory and again we're not trying to run over there that these guys we're just trying to I love that smell of aerosolized oil that's burnt because it smells like a restaurant like you get so much of that in restaurants that's very very familiar smell if you've ever been in a professional kitchen which I'm surprisingly little time in a professional kitchen I am you know yeah this is surprisingly a surprisingly poor tool to flip shrimp with because I can grab onto them but flipping them is difficult there we go okay we're just trying to you know we're just trying to move fairly cook these through they're gonna be re exposed to the heat in a few so we don't necessarily have to like fully cook them but want to get them pretty close because they're not gonna get too much heat later they're gonna get some last thing we want in the world under cooked shrimp them all right that's not fun not a fun side fish okay there we go eggs are away where they belong I'm gonna get my garlic crusher out here just give me one moment please sorry folks here we go this one and dad check the other drawer all right we got any fun questions over the Jake we covered the rubberband um oh and this is one the balaclava bastard he said do you really need a set of knives you seem to use the same knife for everything okay so yeah I think you do need a set of not I don't think you need a full set of knives it really depends on your you know it depends on what you're using them before the essential knife that you need is one of these guys getting need a chef's knife this is the this can do most things i debone that whole turkey with this knife granted it would have been easier with a boning knife or a fillet knife but this thing will do most of what you need especially a good sharpened keep it sharp you probably want a paring knife paring knife is good for this sort of little detailed work and getting in and you know it's it's it's your it's your detail knife it's your hobby knife you're just trying to get in there and and you know take the core out of a piece of fruit or you know slice up something very very small or it's a good detail-oriented knife for when something like a big big little chef's neck won't work gotta have a bread knife they're cheap and nothing else cuts bread like a bread knife you got to have a bread knife and it has plenty of other uses if you're if you're slicing something that you want to you can't compress this is where you want to be because it's going the teeth are going to tear through it and without pressing down into whatever it is and then I like a good carving knife something nice and long like this if you're trying to carve something the more times you go back and forth the more sort of jagged lines are going to leave and whatever it is that you're cutting so the fewer strokes these that you can make the cleaner your cuts going to be it's very handy for carving anything and kind of wispy anything okay these guys are done silence only the guys honest and they might even be overcooked at this point it's been a few minutes here so we're taking them out okay back home heats back with the oil good stuff and now we got to cook all the moisture out of our mushrooms mushrooms contain a great deal of moisture and we don't want any of that in our in our fried rice or put any any fertile anything you make with mushrooms you don't want moisture so I'm gonna give them a little top there's my man Brad would say a little toss us and I'm going to season them lightly with salt salt is gonna help dry out the moisture is now seasoned it that's gonna help draw out the moisture in the mushrooms and it's gonna help them weep that moisture out more quickly and get us eating more quickly so just go ahead and get those guys on this coated in the in the oil and the in the salt and just gonna have a little bit more more oil because they're looking a little dry there we go that's this is what I want here okay so yeah I hope that answers your question you don't necessarily need a knife set a knife set is a luxury it's it's a it's something that you know any application that you need a knife for you got the knife for it do you need it no do you need a chef's knife yes it's very difficult to make any kind of decent food at home easily without a good chef's knife and it's really about your comfort with the knife like you might be more into a santoku knife which has a flat bottom instead of a rounded knife like a chef's and it generally has hollow ground edges which are designed to help let food slide off the slide at the side of the blade more easily so food doesn't stick to it when you're chopping something but those those two knives require an entirely different set of chopping skills the chef's knife is a rocking motion like this your thing think like a locomotive oh ha ha almost you're rocking the knife through the food to ensure a full cut a santoku knife which I believe I have working on having episode on yeah santoku knives are almost flat on the bottom it's got a little bit of a rounded edge but some of them are completely flat most of them are almost flat like this these are the hollow and ground edges that I was talking about and this you can't you can't do the locomotive action with it because you're not gonna get clean full clean cuts this is more of a straight down and slice forward kind of deal or if you're really if you really know you're doing just like a strength chopping like that I personally can't do that really talented chefs can do that okay anything else we've got a request from c'est la vie wondering if you're ever gonna do any Stewie slash on a budget meals in the basic series absolutely sorry to steal that from Tim Heidecker absolutely yes we are shooting we shoot Basics in a big ol old batch of of five days where we try to get eight to ten episodes shot because it requires a crew it's multiple people and you know they can't be coming out every week to make an episode a basic so we shoot Basics in big batches like that binging I shoot every week week to week and you're trying to get on a better schedule with that but um the point is we are having one of those big shoot weeks here next week all for the week so we're gonna be trying to get like about 10 episodes done and one of them is going to be most likely still have to finalize which episodes we're doing but one of the top contenders is budget meals budget meals Sunday meal prep date night meals stuff like that we look we wanted to try to do a few more like sort of themed episodes instead of specific dishes just like things that you might want to do you know the big game meals I can't obviously save a copyright reasons what it is that I'm talking about like they can't be sold meals and yeah budget meals is definitely high up on that list so if not this round do you expect it in the future I promise these guys are almost done there was a book I don't know if you could see it but there was a bunch of moisture in there before you can probably see that they've almost halved in volume like the mushrooms shrink so much this is a ton of moisture in them and they're just trying to cook it all out nobody wants a squeaky wet mushroom all right you want mushrooms either fully cooked or fully raw is the only ways you want to eat mushrooms and you want to be careful about what kinds of mushrooms you eat all right very careful please okay let me just make sure I'm not missing anything I'm sitting back over to camera one and check my recipe real quick eggs oil garlic ham being spent on that doing bean sprouts I wish that I had thought out of ma man cause this is gonna make it pretty urban out there I just want I just want to eat your boys hungry this is gonna be a short live stream tonight folks sorry about that you know it's a very simple dish not all of these are going to be four hours long or whatever five bucks from what if gaming greetings babish love the show I recommend it for your show covering some of the food of Black Butler it is the perfect show perfect for your show and very unique always wanted to watch Black Butler heard great things Black Butler Fawlty Towers all these that's a Brit as a British show right Black Butler yeah I'm gonna check that out and when I see food man go for it thank you very much for the suggestion and thank you for the super chat five bucks from Kara Humphrey you're amazing I love you so much you inspire me every day that's not it's weird to say that well I'm like wiggling a piece of ham here maybe I'm still inspiring today that's very very kind thank you Karen not only for the very kind of super chap at the for the very kind words thank you for watching and thank you for being so sweet that that's better that's that's very nice to hear okay back to work back to work had a couple pieces I am here that a little a little bit too sizable that finish my champagne I did so I'm gonna have myself the last of my whiskey where'd it go yeah last of the whiskey I had in the house a little bit of basil sorry for chomping mmm it's gonna look really sad in this glass but okay so now that the mushrooms are cooked we can add the ham let us add the head let me say folks back over to camera two we are adding some handle to the pan and the rest of it we go those mushrooms are looking or righteous now I just want to basically just keep the ham through maybe get a little bit of color on it and then right before the end of cooking I'm going to add the garlic and let that saute for a few seconds there okay so what else we got to do here and I'm sure I'm forgetting something it really feels like I am but yeah just trying to warm the hand through a little bit I'm tossing it at first just to make sure that everybody's getting nice even eating but um after a minute after 30 seconds of this I'm just gonna let him sit so they get some nice color on it I can already see some nice color forming here separated the way I'd like and this is just plain Virginia ham you know it's a ham nugget it's Virginia Sam I found this one pretty interesting from Jackie Pearlman what is your favorite deli food my favorite deli food interesting that really can do anything yeah I was kind of thinking Bodega I think they might be meaning sandwiches but you know it's a good question okay well in the in the case of a sandwich from any kind of deli from from bodega for me whatever it's gotta be breakfast sandwich we were just all talking about this before breakfast sandwiches in one of the it's one of the the least appreciated art forms because we all love it we all need it when we're desperately hungover or something like that and okay you see we're getting we're getting some nice color on the Sam I don't know why I did that in the episode I don't know why I'm doing it now I'm just picking up the hand oh yeah we got the ham um but yeah breakfast sandwich good bacon egg and cheese bacon eggs sausage I'm sorry so I'm taking cheap uh-huh we're big a night bacon a good sausage if I'm feeling particularly once once I'm like which I typically am okay that's feeling pretty good so I'm gonna go ahead and crush the garlic in there we do clue to cloves which is a lot for the amount of progress that we're making but I don't care I've literally never had something and been like oh lucky so this is gonna be fine go throw this in the I'm gonna get this garlic crap out of it first ever you get this gone okay and now we got our garlic in there toss it around let it taste a little bit of heat just a bit you know you don't we the last thing you want to do in the world and quickest way to ruin your dish oh the scummy garlicky hell yeah oh no this is gonna be just want to give it a little kiss of heat your garlic's turning brown you're overcooking it and it will turn bitter and accurate please don't do that okay next step is going to be adding the rice I believe we're at rice point now we are rice Point Break I'm just gonna dump all this in here again ideally we want to be using we want to be using day-olds rice that's been in the fridge for a day yeah anytime you order Chinese takeout and get those those containers of rice and then the next day they're all hardened up and you're like oh what it wastes in the from--we yeah don't do that okay make fried rice because guess what it's the best it's exactly what you're looking for when you're making fried rice or leftover rice that's I believe how fresh the fried rice was invented as a to use up leftover I might just be totally making that up hole in there I'm just gonna dig it out get the hell out of here okay now we got that going let us turn down the heat first of all cuz this guys getting hot well no because that's something actually the people we're not so happy about was that I didn't really hit the rights with enough heat for their taste and the rice never really got they deeply deeply fried this is a fair point like you know fried rice should should have a little bit of color to it so now we just added our soy sauce oyster sauce mixture get that all mixed together and happy break up into clumps easier way make sure that everybody gets kind of like evenly coated in the in the mixture I'm still little talking tell us there we go there we that's giving us a nice even coverage now we got that all incorporated I'm gonna go ahead and let this sit on the feet a little bit I want to get a little bit of color on that rice I wanna get some nice caramelization to make my yard happenin on my rice go let's give it another little toss oh this is already looking good it's not you know obviously it's not done it needs more colors and these more textures but we're gonna bring it so we got this we got this egg we got the shrimp we're just gonna toss these in alright yeah this is it this is a freaking meal this is the surf war by the way hey let's toss those in there okay beautiful beautiful now I'm gonna let that sit for like a second I'm gonna crank up the heat a little bit get some color going and I'm just gonna grab these scallions from the the camera here going back over dump them on top because we're not mixing them in just yet they get they're gonna get mixed in and doesn't it just look nice I mean give me a break they're gonna get mixed in as soon as we get some nice color on the bottom of this rice so I'm just letting it sit for a minute wait oh I'm gonna Instagram that right now with my phone so I'm talking to you on the talk oh how do i how do I not know where my phone is I'm speaking to you on it right now as we even speak to help is it in there have I been speaking to you from I don't know who see the idea oh I was like instagramming that strain it's fun interactive way to be interactive uh-huh a little bit more ham daddy babby okay well that's so funny that I'm talking to you on the phone right now that I don't know where it is hello yep anybody sees his phone please comment in the comments below okay so I'm gonna get these out of the way clear clear out a little bit just so we have a nice place to eat our fried rice in a minute get all the bottle glasses another way okay well that's smelling good okay I'm letting this sit for like ten more seconds I can you you can have to doing this for a while you can feel how hot things are getting sometimes and like I know this is over a very high flame right now and it hasn't moved in like 45 seconds it's got a lot of browning going on down there and once we toss it we're gonna see it I guarantee you you're gonna like the way it looks I guarantee it oh that's good I don't see I didn't I held off on salt the seasoning of salt because you know soy sauce oyster sauce these have a lot of salt in them but it means a little but a little bit and it needs an ingredient that a lot of people gave me grief over but I don't care because I've seen them do it in hibachi restaurants and America's Test Kitchen rest which recommends it and let's face it it makes it taste good so please please send me your higher B Matt I don't care because like like my man Greg from how to drink says at the end of day if the drinks in the drink you like is in the glass you did your job right so I like fried rice with a nice you know tablespoon of butter added right at the end for some richness and you know just like punctuate some outfield so now that we're ready to toss this here we go oh look at that look at that huh look at that it's like okay oh here we go look now let's see that is something that people pointed out that I had totally miss she's one of the big aspects of fried rice is you know the flying part it's not just like grouting and my art is the caramelization and now I let it sit for a while and we got all that great color on there it's gonna translate the flavor and now I'm just tossing it just cuz the last of the butter was melting I really want to get it all incorporated there's there we go that is some fried rice folks might not be you know the most once it when I kill the heat now this might not be the most genuine fried layer authentic fried rice or whatever but like this is for sure as an Americanized fried rice for like all I know is that I have a key pan will really tasty [ __ ] in front of me and I'm going back to eat it trust me okay let me play it up over here I'm gonna set up a bowl here yeah I'm gonna grab some chopsticks this area and let us place back over the camera one now I guarantee him this field is everywhere this that's the one for again I learned a lot about it from some Greg from how to drink about like not caring about making some little mistakes here and there you know it's part of the process now make mistakes you don't learn from them promise okay there this rice make that look a little prettier so we have something for a thumbnail or something like that and I also got somebody somebody got mad at me for shoving chopsticks in there I'm like what's wrong with that maybe there's someone I'm not aware of the like that's how I eat fried rice what happened there these shrimp are tail on so obviously I'm not going to eat them just outright but I'm gonna have a big old bite here and see what happens mmm yeah that's quality he's got lots of little crispy bits from what I let it sit on the bottom it's like um what's called bibimbap from Korean barbecue Korean cuisine they serve it to you in this stone pot that's ripping hot and they put all the fried rice and the egg and the vegetables in there I mean it cooks in there and then they let it sit on the bottom you end up with this ultra crispy layer on the bottom and I gotta say that was a real positive addition to this thank you for all the commentaries that pointed that app I definitely overdid it I did it more than you're probably supposed to and you know hmm another thing somebody in the comments said calling this fried rice is like calling scrambled eggs an omelette which might be a fair point I know that this isn't as as authentic as it could be but let me tell you something this is really good it is rice that has been fried okay and I know it's got some some elements that definitely could be more authentic but Wow it tastes good oh my god all that garlic - oh my god mm-hmm so I kind of fix you up the bowl yes you may thank you all right I'm just gonna give you a bit here not because I don't love you because I need lifters for lunch tomorrow um okay I'm making proper bolt there we go that's a problem I'll be like shrimp cuz you're getting shrimp boy um okay I'm gonna give you some choppers Jake you want to come in here and join me for a bite stop talking to me like that you're being way too sensual right now stop it they can't hear you only I can hear so much garlic so much little crispy bets shrimp are well cooked they're a little overcooked I probably couldn't come in a

I asked about Vincenzo directly and he initially played it coy, then said he could not disclose who his new team member would be for Being with Babish. Looking forward to some Babish/Vinny adventures and hoping Brad can join along as well.

[u/argetholo]

idk about anyone else, but he mentioned wanting to do Chicken & Dumplings soup soon on Basics. I would love to see that!

[u/TheToolMan]

Did anyone catch what he said about his friend who owns the wok? It sounded like his friend owns a house that was used in both Breaking Bad and House of Cards, maybe? I was trying to figure out which house was used in both shows. Any ideas?
