  Can we get a “Let Me Cook” series where Joshie chooses something to make but is given random ingredients

  Here&apos;s a tip for short grain (Japanese) rice, soak it for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This way, the rice will be evenly cooked, and it&apos;ll be nice and fluffy.<br>Another tip. For the teriyaki sauce, the traditional way of making it is, japanese soy sauce (i specifically said japanese because the chinese and thai taste significantly different, I&apos;m not gonna go into details but yea, these are facts. Oh also, don&apos;t use tamari as well) sake, mirin and sugar. The ratio is 1(soy sauce):1(mirin):1(sake):0.5(sugar). A sample ratio will be 2tbsp of soy sauce, mirin and sake, 1tbsp of sugar. Combine all ingredients in a pot or pan, turn the heat to medium heat, wait until it boils. Then lower the heat to medium low, and then let it simmer until it thickens. The sugar will help the sauce thicken, so you don&apos;t need the starch. Remove it from the heat and let it cool, the sauce will remain thick. <br>For those people who wants to make teriyaki sauce, try this trick. It&apos;s the traditional Japanese way. I&apos;m not a chef but I&apos;ve cooked Japanese food for almost my whole life since I learned how to cook.

  I think the people that get mad at josh for using &quot;expensive fancy cooking tools&quot; dont understand that josh is just demonstrating to the &nbsp;average home chef that its easier than you think to use fancy cooking technology. never has he forced anyone to buy fancy equipment &amp; there are always modifications for the tools he uses. yes, sometimes the modification will alter the final product but hes also not forcing you to cook those dishes. For someone who has worked in restaurants for 10 years, is lower income, and enjoys home cooking, just watching his tutorials with the fancy gear are interesting and knowledgeable. I wish ppl would stop harassing josh for using fancy equipment like the man is an incredible chef and we are lucky that he&apos;s deciding to share his recipes and processes with us.

  I&apos;ve always told my bf that I&apos;d want my last meal on earth to be a bento!! tonkatsu, rice, pickles, a salad, sushi, and a side of miso soup. So I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Nice work!!

  My Japanese friend taught me how to make Tamagoyaki in a normal pan if you want to keep it a rectangle. You make a little &quot;rectangle box&quot; with some origami skills out of parchment paper, you put it on the pan that is able to fit the &quot;box&quot; and you use it like a normal pan. It is a bit tricky on first attempts but it&apos;s nice if you don&apos;t wanna buy or don&apos;t have space for a special pan for it.

  I genuinely love the amount you work to bring asian dishes into everyday meals for everyday people. Especially around MSG myths and after all the asian hate that was happening in america-- this sort of normalization can really help to introduce culture to others willing to learn. Also, on that note, I&apos;m just a firm believer that good food can always bring people together :)
