01:08 Hello, and welcome to another 3ABN Today cooking program.
01:13 I'm always excited to be in the kitchen.
01:15 And with me today is Stephanie Salazar.
01:18 Now, this is the first time
01:20 that we've been in the kitchen together.
01:22 That's right. Yes. Hi, Jason.
01:23 I'm just so happy to be here.
01:25 It's great to be back and ready to cook again.
01:27 Yeah, it's great to have you here
01:29 and I'm excited to try what we'll be making.
01:32 Well, predominantly what you'll be making today
01:35 and I'll be tasting, but I'll assist a little bit.
01:38 Yes, you will. Of course you will.
01:39 We're gonna have fun.
01:41 I gotta earn my meal, huh?
01:43 That is right. Yeah.
01:44 So tell me a little bit about your background and...
01:47 Okay, well, I love to cook.
01:48 That's one thing for sure.
01:50 I've been cooking for many, many years
01:51 since I was around 12 years old.
01:53 You know, I've two older brothers
01:54 and you know how boys can eat.
01:56 And so I used to have to cook for the family and they,
01:58 they liked so much would make for them
02:01 that it motivated me to keep putting,
02:02 you know, a lot of effort and love to do the cooking.
02:05 And so I've been cooking for a long, long time.
02:07 I'm a teacher
02:09 and I'm actually teaching at the University in Chile.
02:11 That's where I live now. Okay.
02:13 My husband's from there.
02:14 So we both work at the university
02:16 and I'm teaching cooking classes
02:17 as well as juice therapy to the students there,
02:20 you know, for the different careers
02:21 and that's what I'm doing.
02:23 And you're also like when you come to the States,
02:24 you're also community health consultant,
02:26 right, with SanareLife?
02:27 That's right.
02:29 Yes, when I'm here in during the year,
02:30 couple of months a year,
02:32 I always work with SanareLife
02:34 and different projects like this one.
02:35 Okay. Yeah.
02:37 Okay, nice.
02:38 Speaking of Nyse, where's Nyse Collins?
02:39 We're missing Nyse Collins. Yes, we're missing Nyse.
02:42 We're missing Nyse,
02:43 we're good partners in the kitchen as well,
02:44 we did about several programs about 10 years ago
02:47 here for 3ABN Latina
02:49 and people really enjoyed those.
02:51 So maybe what, it will be a next time
02:52 we can work together again in the kitchen
02:54 but yeah, Nyse is not able to be here
02:56 even though he wishes he was for sure.
02:58 Yeah. I love when he comes.
02:59 His food is good.
03:01 Okay, all right. Okay.
03:02 And I know this spread is gonna be amazing.
03:04 So why don't you tell us what we're gonna make today?
03:06 Sure.
03:07 For today we have an Asian menu with wonderful dishes
03:10 from with a variety of ingredients.
03:13 The first one we'll be making is a chickpea curry,
03:17 Asian noodles, a teriyaki sauce to go with those noodles
03:22 as well as with a broccoli tofu dish.
03:25 And then we'll also be making some Vietnamese rolls
03:29 that are raw with a peanut sauce.
03:32 Oh, that sounds good. Yeah.
03:33 That sounds good.
03:35 Let's go to our first recipe. All right.
03:37 Our first recipe today is chickpea curry,
03:40 and for that we will need the following ingredients.
04:17 That sounds like it's gonna be flavorful.
04:20 That's the idea.
04:21 Yeah, yes.
04:22 So where do we begin?
04:24 We're gonna start with our pan, just lit up a little bit.
04:26 You know how the base for most...
04:30 Let's see, sometimes...
04:32 Definitely, you can help me with that, Jason,
04:33 if you don't mind.
04:34 The base for pretty much any good savory dish
04:37 is to have good sauteed onions, onions and garlic.
04:41 They're just such a, you know, full of flavor,
04:44 they just give depth of flavor to our basically any dish.
04:48 And when you chop it very finely,
04:51 you know very, very finely,
04:52 you can't even really see them after they're sauteed
04:55 and they turn like clear
04:57 and just very, very smooth and little
04:59 so there's no issues
05:01 with having a lot of onion in this dish.
05:03 Would you mind passing the spoon to mix
05:05 if you don't mind?
05:07 Thank you so much, you know,
05:08 here to use it as a twofer for our sauteing.
05:12 So we're going to put in a little bit of olive oil
05:14 or it can be grapeseed oil, doesn't want to like to use.
05:17 In fact though we have right here.
05:19 Grapeseed oil, it takes heat very well.
05:21 Okay.
05:23 So you won't get that, you know, damaged,
05:26 chemically damaged.
05:27 And that's why I like to use it for cooking.
05:29 So let's wait a little bit here until this gets a little hot.
05:32 You can start hearing the sizzling, right?
05:35 Now, what do you want the flame on?
05:37 Do you want it high? Let's do high.
05:39 Yes, let's try to save some time,
05:40 you were watching it closely
05:42 and we're constantly moving in and mixing it,
05:45 then we will let it burn.
05:47 To the onion, we're going to add the garlic as well.
05:50 I love garlic. Fresh garlic.
05:51 As you can see we have a lot of garlic here.
05:53 If there's, I mean, this is a curry
05:56 so it's gotta be, you know, filled with flavor.
05:59 Nice.
06:00 And that's why we're going to do that.
06:02 And let's saute them a little bit more
06:04 just for the flavors to, to come out, to blend.
06:09 And just to activate,
06:10 sort of speak down in the garlic
06:12 to be able to flavor the whole dish.
06:14 Yes. And that's the idea.
06:16 So here we have some of our chickpeas.
06:19 These have been cooked already. Okay.
06:21 If you're cooking them in the pressure pot,
06:24 maybe 20-30 minutes, they come out really fine.
06:27 And it's good to drain them
06:29 because a lot of times the liquid,
06:31 it's a little bit thick.
06:32 And you can use that that liquid that Aquafaba,
06:35 that is known as these days for other dishes, even sweet,
06:40 sweet dishes like pies and things like that.
06:43 It works like eggs would work.
06:45 So it's a wonderful thing to keep as well.
06:47 Oh, yeah, they are almost nice. That smells good.
06:50 People might not want to talk to us after we eat this food.
06:53 No, yes, once it's cooked, it won't affect your breathe.
06:57 Don't worry about that.
06:59 Here let's put some chickpeas as well
07:01 so that we can get started with the cooking process
07:03 and for them to be able to absorb some of the flavor.
07:07 Okay, from the onion and garlic.
07:10 That's right. That's very good.
07:12 Mix that up, Jason.
07:14 You wanna stir it around?
07:15 Yes.
07:18 And then, let's also incorporate
07:23 one of our key ingredients.
07:24 For curries you have to have... Yes.
07:28 The coconut milk, it has to go into curries,
07:30 it just has to go.
07:32 It's beautiful ingredient. It is so rich and creamy.
07:35 It makes it flavorful, a little sweetness to it,
07:40 you know, and then it will incorporate
07:42 so with the spices we're going to use later
07:45 that it will just make the perfect curry.
07:46 So coconut milk is a winner.
07:49 Let's incorporate there
07:53 and then we start cooking the dish,
07:56 the coconut milk will thicken,
07:57 it will thicken things up a little bit.
07:58 Okay.
08:00 So let's get those going a little bit,
08:01 it's on high, right?
08:03 Yes.
08:04 And what we're going to do now,
08:05 we're going to start sizzling with a little bit of salt.
08:07 I have some Himalayan pink salt right here.
08:10 We're gonna eyeball it a little bit like this
08:13 just because you know, I cook all the time,
08:15 so I'm sure that cooks at home do the same
08:18 when it comes to do the salt.
08:19 That's right. You don't measure everything.
08:21 Yeah, especially the salt.
08:22 I mean, unless you have to,
08:24 like sometimes young men have to measure even the salt.
08:27 Well, you know, I don't, I don't.
08:29 That doesn't cook, Jason, I don't know you cook or not.
08:31 Are you a cook?
08:32 I cook a little bit, I like to eat so.
08:34 Okay. Yeah.
08:35 What do you make?
08:36 What do you like to make it at home?
08:39 I dabble a little bit, so like, I love dinner foods.
08:42 Okay.
08:43 I love Italian food, but I love Mexican food,
08:48 I just love food.
08:49 Okay, good.
08:51 Yeah, I love food. Yeah, like most guys will.
08:53 Yeah, like most guys.
08:55 Now we're going to add our spices, okay,
08:57 to this richness of the coconut milk
08:59 with the garlic and the onion.
09:01 Let it cook a little bit right as we cook it,
09:03 let's put the different spices.
09:05 Now you can use if you wanted just the typical,
09:09 you know curry powder that you can buy.
09:12 But the reason we're not doing that
09:13 is because we want to teach a little bit
09:14 of how to make your own homemade curry.
09:16 Now you could go ahead and mix all of these spices up
09:19 that we have that was in the ingredient list.
09:21 But for the sake of saving time,
09:23 we're just going to put it in straight to the pan.
09:26 Nevertheless, we use most of the ingredients
09:29 that a common curry brings, but not all of them.
09:31 And there's a reason for that.
09:33 We try to make some of the ingredients
09:35 or some of the spices that are little bit harmful
09:38 to the body, a little bit irritant.
09:40 Yes. For example, nutmeg.
09:43 And a couple of others like clove or agar or nutmeg,
09:46 some of those that are a little bit irritant
09:47 to the stomach, to the stomach lining.
09:49 So it's better to avoid those.
09:51 People like start getting issues and problems,
09:54 you know, and they don't really know why.
09:55 Yeah.
09:57 They say, "I don't drink alcohol.
09:58 I don't, you know, drink soda or I don't drink coffee,"
10:03 but then maybe they're getting in their spices
10:05 some irritants to their stomach
10:07 and that's why maybe they have to watch
10:09 their curry powder,
10:10 maybe that's what's affecting them a little bit.
10:12 Isn't ginger good for the stomach?
10:13 Ginger is good
10:15 and we are including ginger in one of our spices, yes.
10:17 Okay.
10:18 So the ones that we just left out
10:20 are the other ones I mentioned.
10:21 But the first and main one is a turmeric.
10:25 There's no curry without turmeric.
10:29 I use it in everything, I mean,
10:31 I just use it so much not just the curries.
10:34 Absolutely you can start getting
10:35 some beautiful yellow color.
10:36 Oh yeah, that's gonna change.
10:38 Yeah.
10:39 And the turmeric is considered
10:41 like a divine little plant in India.
10:44 Did you know that?
10:45 They have like a little plant planted in their gardens.
10:47 And they even like, you know, do some reverencing to it
10:50 because it's just so healing
10:52 and so full of healing properties
10:55 that the Indians actually consider
10:57 a part of their religious routine
11:01 or something like that, you know,
11:02 that's why they eat it so much.
11:04 But they have a point.
11:05 But we know that they should be praising the one true God.
11:09 For sure, for sure.
11:10 You know, they haven't...
11:12 You know, that's something...
11:13 Maybe the people had to do that, yeah.
11:14 Yeah, that's something you see that,
11:16 that's an issue nowadays
11:17 is there's so many people that are praising the creation
11:20 rather than the Creator.
11:22 Very interesting that you put that, yes.
11:25 But doesn't we have to continue helping
11:26 and doing our part to impart the truth.
11:28 And educate, absolutely. That's right.
11:31 And yes, turmeric,
11:32 it has so many healing properties
11:34 that is amazing and wonderful for the health.
11:36 That's why it's so good
11:38 to incorporate it into your diet,
11:39 into your cooking, not just curries,
11:41 but you can put it in rice,
11:43 you can put it in any kind of stews
11:48 like lentils or beans
11:49 or just everything you make pretty much,
11:51 you can put a little bit of turmeric
11:53 and it will add color and flavor as well as taste.
11:55 Look at this color, speaking of colors.
11:57 Yes, we're putting the ginger, the cumin powder, the paprika,
12:01 everything that we mentioned before,
12:03 so that we can have a very delicious curry.
12:07 And then to complement it, we're gonna put some potatoes.
12:11 Oh, yes.
12:12 We've already cooked this, these are already cooked,
12:15 which just makes it just a lot easier and faster.
12:18 So we're going to put this in here.
12:21 Now people sometimes put everything together raw,
12:25 maybe the chickpeas not so much
12:26 because the chickpeas do have to have
12:28 a little extra cooking time.
12:29 Okay.
12:30 But you can cook it in the broth,
12:32 the potatoes in the broth,
12:33 and then some cauliflower as well right here.
12:36 This is already little bit cooked,
12:38 not all the way, we don't want it mushy,
12:40 but definitely soft,
12:42 they definitely soft but not mushy.
12:43 Okay.
12:44 And then we're gonna put this in as well
12:48 until we get some color in those.
12:51 Yeah, I'm gonna try and stir this around.
12:52 Yeah, you are the stirrer, you're doing it so good.
12:56 And he's doing so good,
12:57 I'm not even gonna worry about that.
12:58 Not even worry.
13:00 Here I have some fresh cilantro or coriander
13:04 that has to go so in part, as part of our delicious curry,
13:08 and we're gonna chop it really quick here.
13:12 Even if you, when you see that is a little bit dry
13:14 because of the potatoes.
13:16 They soak up a lot of the liquid.
13:17 So we're going to add a little bit of water.
13:18 Okay.
13:20 Would you mind doing that, Jason?
13:21 Just a little bit of water we're going to add it up
13:23 just so we can get it going a little bit better.
13:24 And that way we don't get it all dried up
13:28 so that we have a smooth creaminess to it.
13:31 And that way it doesn't dry,
13:33 just the potatoes absorb most of the liquid.
13:35 That's why this happens.
13:37 So you have to monitor it not too much.
13:39 Go ahead and just put a little bit little.
13:40 Little. Yes.
13:43 Mm-hmm.
13:44 It will evaporate so it's not gonna affect.
13:46 That's enough. Thank you.
13:48 It's not gonna affect the flavor so much,
13:49 it will evaporate some of it and then it's just
13:51 that we wannna get all the flavors incorporated
13:54 and then a little bit keep the creaminess as well.
13:56 I was telling you
13:58 that the coconut milk as you cook it,
14:00 it thickens up.
14:02 Yes.
14:04 So then when this gets cool, it will be very thick.
14:06 Yeah.
14:08 So when you heat it up, it loosens up.
14:09 But then, but you see how delicious it looks?
14:13 Yeah, I'm ready to plate this thing.
14:14 Yeah, let's hope that it has enough salt.
14:16 We might have to put a little bit extra salt
14:18 just because the potatoes
14:20 and we added the potatoes and the cauliflower.
14:23 So just a little dash of salt, a little more.
14:25 Okay.
14:26 And I'm gonna now chop the cilantro to top it off,
14:30 and then we'll have our delicious curry,
14:33 pretty much ready.
14:34 I'm excited. Yes.
14:36 Then it needs to eat it with a little bit of rice.
14:39 Okay. You know.
14:41 And then it makes a complete meal.
14:44 It's a complete meal.
14:45 Yes, it's just so delicious to have curries.
14:48 And you can use different things
14:50 not just chickpeas or cauliflower.
14:52 You can add carrots if you want it,
14:54 you could add peas
14:56 or you could use a different kind of legume
15:01 instead of chickpeas, it could be made even lentils.
15:04 Okay.
15:05 But the idea is that a curry has a coconut milk
15:07 and the spices.
15:09 That's basically the idea.
15:11 Now, we're not making this one spicy,
15:13 although some people prefer spicy.
15:15 You could, to be able to have spiciness to it,
15:18 you will have to add a little bit of cayenne pepper.
15:21 Got you.
15:22 And then you have the spiciness to it.
15:24 I like spicy.
15:25 I am Latin after all, I'm sorry.
15:28 I like spicy too.
15:30 I like it little spicy. Oh, you do?
15:31 Okay, yeah.
15:32 But for the sake of the others, I'm gonna taste the dish.
15:35 Yes.
15:36 I decided not to put the spice, you know, any spicy.
15:39 Yeah, and we don't want any upset stomachs.
15:41 Oh, that's the thing too, yeah.
15:43 Everything in moderation or try to avoid it really,
15:44 that's actually best to avoid it.
15:46 That's right. Yeah.
15:48 All right.
15:49 So we have the chopped cilantro here.
15:50 Okay.
15:52 And we're gonna just sprinkle it on top.
15:53 Oh, yeah.
15:55 Like this, you could mix it up a little bit.
15:56 Okay.
15:58 And just to have a little flavor,
15:59 and then we're going to turn it off.
16:01 Since everything is cooked already,
16:02 we're pretty much can just turn it off.
16:05 We don't want to overcook the cilantro,
16:07 wanted to stay nice and bright green, not brown.
16:10 So just to add a little flavor at the end
16:13 and also some pretty garnish as well.
16:16 So now to plate our dish.
16:18 How about that? Okay, that sounds good.
16:19 All right.
16:22 So here I have a very nice dish.
16:24 Okay.
16:25 Let me just dry my hands real quick.
16:26 Let's move these over here.
16:28 I'm gonna clear some of these as well.
16:29 Thank you so much, Jason.
16:31 Yes, you see we make a good team.
16:32 That's right. I just knew that we would.
16:33 That's right. All right.
16:35 So let me bring the dish over here.
16:37 And I think I might let you handle the plating part
16:40 for the presentation.
16:43 I think you have that one under control
16:45 But doesn't it look pretty?
16:47 Yeah, it looks pretty.
16:48 Now what I'm realizing that is, that we have a yellow vision,
16:50 it's pretty yellow.
16:52 But hey, let's just have a combination of yellows,
16:54 like different shades of yellows.
16:55 It should look nice.
16:57 How about you help me 'cause it feels pretty heavy.
16:58 Absolutely.
16:59 So let me, you can, maybe I don't,
17:01 yes you can, of course, you can.
17:02 There you go, slowly but surely
17:04 we're going to put in a beautiful
17:05 pretty dish like this,
17:08 and we are pretty much ready to serve this.
17:11 You know, the thing about people
17:13 watching this at home is...
17:15 Yeah.
17:16 They don't get to smell all this deliciousness.
17:18 That's true.
17:20 But if they make it, they'll get to smell it...
17:22 Oh, for sure. And taste it.
17:23 But they should really make it,
17:25 you know, you go out these days
17:27 to eat or to buy little prepared meals
17:29 and this can be pretty pricey
17:31 something like you said a restaurant.
17:32 Yeah.
17:34 But at home, it's so much cheaper.
17:35 Yeah.
17:37 And did you see how easy that was?
17:38 Yeah. Wasn't that easy?
17:39 It was easy. It's so easy.
17:41 Let's finish up with a little bit more...
17:42 Especially since you did most of the work on that.
17:45 Well, we did.
17:46 We did chop the potatoes,
17:48 you know, that definitely saves time.
17:50 But for moms out there
17:52 and people that are used to cooking,
17:54 the chopping is just, you know, part of life.
17:56 Yeah.
17:58 Let's put a little paprika on top
17:59 just for a little bit of a more color
18:00 and the presentation
18:02 and a little bit of garnishing right there.
18:03 Oh, that looks amazing.
18:05 So, then we have, of course, some rice
18:07 because you can't have really,
18:08 you really can't have curry without rice.
18:10 So we'll have our delicious chickpea curry
18:14 with some brown rice
18:15 and that's just a wonderful meal.
18:17 You know what else we have?
18:18 A spoon. I'm gonna try a little.
18:20 Try it and taste and see.
18:22 Taste and see.
18:23 Let's see.
18:25 It's kind of hot, be careful. Yeah, I know that.
18:26 You might have to blow it a little bit.
18:31 But it does smell pretty good.
18:33 And then you have to go into our...
18:35 How is it?
18:36 Oh, that's good.
18:37 Yeah.
18:39 Great, great news.
18:40 Really good. What are we making next?
18:41 Next we're gonna be making some Asian noodles.
19:27 Sounds like we're about to have another flavorful dish.
19:30 That's right. Where do we begin?
19:31 First thing we do is cook our noodles.
19:32 That's right.
19:34 Well, I think they're already finished right now.
19:36 And we're going to drain them over there really quick.
19:37 Okay.
19:39 In the meantime, as you can see,
19:40 we have all the ingredients right ready for us there.
19:43 Yes.
19:44 Now, just in case you didn't know
19:46 what we were talking about before.
19:48 This is the baby corn, okay?
19:52 Baby corn. I don't know.
19:56 I've had these things before.
19:58 I love them.
20:00 Very flavorful, nice consistency,
20:03 nice little crunch too.
20:05 Exactly, they add a nice texture
20:06 and color and variety to our Asian dishes usually.
20:09 So I left the noodles draining there a little bit
20:11 until we get things going.
20:13 Do you mind putting the pan on top of this right here?
20:16 And just, we have the peppers already chopped there.
20:20 But just to show you
20:22 how usually best to chop a pepper,
20:24 you think you know to have a nice juliennes
20:27 or the strips like that, I like to go like this.
20:30 There's different ways you can do it at home,
20:32 but sometimes it's easier to just take out
20:34 the first two ends of the pepper
20:36 as you can see right there like I did there.
20:39 And then you take the seeds out like this.
20:41 And then you just try
20:43 to flatten it up a little like that,
20:44 and then you just chop.
20:46 And you have the nice long strips of pepper
20:50 and you can use all kinds of pepper
20:52 like green, yellow and red of course
20:55 to add a nice color.
20:56 But this is how we basically do it.
20:58 And so as the pan is heating there,
21:00 we're gonna put a little tiny drizzle,
21:03 little tiny drizzle of oil.
21:05 Okay.
21:06 And we're gonna start sauteing first our harder vegetables.
21:11 So in this case, we would start with our onion
21:13 and our snap peas.
21:15 Okay.
21:17 You can...
21:18 When it's heated up a little bit,
21:19 you can put up snap peas and the carrots,
21:21 I mean the carrots and the snap peas to go in.
21:24 And that way they get,
21:26 start getting a little bit cooked.
21:27 We don't want to overcook the vegetables.
21:29 We want to keep them nice and crisp,
21:31 because it's much nicer to eat.
21:34 And not mushy, soggy.
21:36 No, no, no.
21:37 Especially Asian food, Asian food usually, you know,
21:40 has the vegetables barely cooked.
21:43 Kind of just, you know, heat it up,
21:45 I would like to say it.
21:47 Yes, that's true.
21:48 And we're gonna put those in first.
21:52 Then we're gonna add our onions.
21:55 Okay.
21:56 And then last...
21:58 Clean that if I might go.
21:59 Yeah, sure.
22:01 Let's soak that up a little bit.
22:04 And in the meantime,
22:05 we are going to get a small pot over here have one,
22:09 if you don't mind, Jason, excuse me, right here.
22:12 Here's our small pot
22:13 where I'm going to start mixing up our ingredients
22:15 for our sauce.
22:16 Okay.
22:18 Now our sauce will, of course, bring the whole dish together.
22:19 Yes.
22:21 It will make it truly delicious and beautiful.
22:23 Okay.
22:24 For that, we're going to need all the ingredients
22:26 that we read before.
22:28 But first, let's put the onion like I said right there
22:30 that I'll put in.
22:32 We're going to slightly saute it,
22:34 just slightly,
22:35 wanna keep the crispiness to our, to all our vegetables.
22:41 And especially our pepper and our onion,
22:43 then the ones that are softer.
22:45 So we're gonna put this over here.
22:48 Okay.
22:49 You saw how easy that it was to cut the pepper.
22:51 Yeah, that's something
22:52 I've actually always struggled with the pepper
22:54 and all the seeds and all that.
22:56 Yeah, but these are little extra parts.
22:58 We don't want to throw them away.
22:59 It'd be good to use them
23:00 for maybe a little soup or something
23:02 that you know you could have season
23:04 with by chopping them very, very little and fine.
23:06 Okay.
23:08 All right, so that's looking very pretty.
23:09 See how shiny it is.
23:10 We only use a dab of oil,
23:12 it was just slightly to make it to come,
23:16 the juices start coming out.
23:18 We can add our corn. Okay.
23:23 And at the end we're going to add our pepper.
23:25 Pepper is great because it's high in vitamin C.
23:27 It truly is.
23:29 And it's so pretty.
23:31 I love how pretty it is.
23:32 And to keep our vitamin C in the pepper,
23:34 it's a good idea not to overcook it.
23:37 So that's why we gonna put it at the end
23:38 right before we turn off the stove.
23:41 Okay.
23:42 So for our teriyaki sauce, our Asian sauce,
23:45 we're going to use
23:48 some garlic and ginger.
23:51 These two we're going to put them in a little pan.
23:53 Can I have a little spoon if you don't mind, Jason?
23:56 Thank you. Yeah. You're welcome.
23:57 We're gonna put them here.
24:00 Maybe you can give me a little space there
24:02 in the stove so I can get it going as well.
24:05 Yeah, let me move this right here.
24:06 That's a good idea. Good. There you go.
24:08 There you go. I'll get this started.
24:10 Let's saute the garlic, it sautes very quickly.
24:13 The garlic has so many sugars
24:14 that it burns very, very easily.
24:16 So it's a very good idea to keep your eye closed
24:19 and to be very quick.
24:21 Okay, very quick.
24:22 So just a little dab of sesame oil
24:24 to start the cooking process of the garlic,
24:28 and I like to add a ginger right into it.
24:31 The ginger and the garlic are the base of our sauce,
24:35 the flavor givers for our sauce.
24:37 It starts sizzling right away,
24:39 like I said because of the sugars,
24:42 and it's very important to keep a close eye on it.
24:45 We don't want to burn the garlic.
24:48 Right away, we can put our soy sauce.
24:51 Okay. Now soy sauce goes a long ways.
24:54 It's very, very salty as you know.
24:56 That's why I like to thin it out with some water.
25:00 But the water, to the water,
25:02 I'm going to add a little bit of cornstarch
25:04 so that we can have a thicker sauce
25:06 and not so runny.
25:07 Okay. Right?
25:09 So would you mind passing a spoon from that little
25:11 thing over there.
25:12 Not a big one,
25:14 like the little tiny ones if you don't mind.
25:15 You want these little ones? Yes, thank you.
25:17 That's perfect.
25:18 There you go.
25:19 So we're going to mix our cornstarch
25:22 right into our water as you can see right here.
25:25 And that way we don't get lumps of cornstarch.
25:29 You can put it directly into this, into the sauce.
25:31 Okay.
25:32 It's important to dilute it first in cold water
25:36 and that way you prevent having ugly lumps,
25:39 of course, that nobody wants. Yeah.
25:41 So in order to thicken the sauce
25:42 in the right way,
25:44 this is the way to do it.
25:45 Okay?
25:47 So we're nice on that.
25:48 We have diluted the cornstarch and we put it in.
25:52 And it is to cook the sauce until it's completely clear.
25:56 Right now it's like milky as you can see,
25:59 but we don't want it milky, we want it nice and clear.
26:02 You mix it up.
26:04 And then we add the sugar. Okay.
26:06 The sugar is very important
26:07 because it will cut the saltiness,
26:10 and it will just give it
26:11 a perfect little taste of sweetness,
26:14 and it just gives it that Asian flavor
26:17 that is appropriate
26:19 because most Asian food does use the sugar
26:23 to balance out the saltiness of the soy sauce.
26:27 So it's very important to use.
26:28 And we're gonna cook it in here just a little until it starts
26:30 getting nice and thick.
26:32 All right, the veggies are perfectly done.
26:34 Let's add the peppers at the very end.
26:35 Okay.
26:37 At the very, very end just to get them
26:40 with a brighter red and a brighter yellow.
26:42 Okay?
26:44 And that way, I'm going to put...
26:46 That's enough.
26:47 And then we're going to bring our noodles.
26:52 I'll keep stirring this.
26:54 Yes, please do.
26:55 And let me bring the noodles
26:57 so that we can add them to our veggies
26:59 that we have.
27:02 Yeah, this is very, very colorful.
27:06 Very...
27:07 All right.
27:09 So the noodles are drained
27:10 and I rinsed them with some cold water
27:11 so that they would not overcook, just stir up, yes.
27:16 As you can see, they're perfectly cooked.
27:19 You see how fast this dish is?
27:21 Yeah, Yeah.
27:23 The long part is the chopping of the vegetables.
27:25 That's what takes the longest.
27:27 But other than that, you have such a quick dish,
27:30 the cooking process is very, very quick.
27:32 So this is a very good dinner or meal to make
27:35 when you come home from work.
27:38 You know, most people like to take out like,
27:40 you know, Chinese take out
27:42 and you can make it at home and it's just so much healthier
27:45 without any additives,
27:47 without any chemicals or things like that.
27:49 You see how nice and thick it is?
27:50 Yeah, that looks good.
27:52 Yes, thick and clear.
27:55 It's not milky anymore.
27:56 Did you notice that?
27:58 So it's perfect.
27:59 Now, can you turn it off,
28:01 if you don't mind the stove for me?
28:02 Yeah.
28:03 We added to our beautifully, colorful
28:07 I think you turned off the wrong one,
28:09 I needed to turn it out yet.
28:10 Thank you, Jason. There you go.
28:12 You're welcome.
28:13 We add our sauce to our noodles.
28:14 And we just mix them up with a different kind of spoon
28:17 that is not, that one is probably better, yeah,
28:19 or maybe with some tongs.
28:20 Do you have some here? Yes, we do.
28:22 This work.
28:23 Tongs, I'm gonna switch places with you right there.
28:25 Yeah, that's better.
28:26 Thank you, yeah. You're welcome.
28:27 Here you go, with this we just start mixing it like this.
28:30 It's easier to mix them like this
28:31 so that you don't break up too much of the noodles
28:34 or anything like that.
28:35 But you see how simple that is,
28:36 and how much nicer it looks with a sauce now.
28:39 Yeah, that's gonna be delicious.
28:41 We might have to add all of it.
28:42 Can you please add more of the sauce for me,
28:44 Jason, if you don't mind?
28:47 Thank you.
28:48 Yes, that's great.
28:51 That's perfect.
28:53 All right.
28:54 All right.
28:56 We got some more recipes to make too.
28:57 Yes, we do.
28:59 Our next recipe is the broccoli tofu.
29:02 All right.
29:04 Yeah, so let's get ready to start oven.
29:07 For the broccoli tofu we'll need:
29:24 So what's our first step in making this recipe?
29:25 All right, Jason.
29:27 So the first step is to get a tofu ready.
29:29 I've already pre cut it in little dice like pieces
29:33 like these, as you can see right here.
29:35 And on the nice big surface like this cutting board I have,
29:39 we're going to lay out our tofu
29:41 and we're going to be putting on all around it,
29:44 basically coating each little square with some cornstarch.
29:48 Okay.
29:49 And in the meantime, we already have our stove going there
29:51 with our big pan.
29:53 And let's put a little bit of sesame oil in there.
29:57 Can you do it for me please, Jason?
29:58 Yeah, I sure can. Thank you.
30:00 You see how they get nicely and evenly coated.
30:04 Then we just kind of rolled them
30:05 in the cornstarch like this.
30:09 And we're going to be putting these little pieces of tofu
30:12 coated with cornstarch in our pan.
30:14 Okay.
30:16 This will make these little pieces of tofu
30:18 be crunchy and crispy.
30:20 Nice.
30:21 So it would be much nicer for our dish
30:24 and that way they will also stay
30:26 you know more in their shape.
30:27 I notice you like the crispy, crispier, crunchier...
30:31 I like the textures for sure.
30:32 You see how they are basically being good.
30:35 It goes clear, the cornstarch gets wet with the tofu
30:38 and it goes clear but it's still there.
30:41 And let's put it quickly, careful because it will...
30:43 Yes.
30:44 That will start popping.
30:46 Yeah, maybe it's a little bit too high.
30:47 We can check the temperature.
30:49 We put them in for a few minutes on each side,
30:52 just so that we can get the crispiness going.
30:55 And that way the dish will just be more, more pleasant to chew,
30:58 more pleasant to eat because of the texture.
31:02 Okay.
31:05 And the sesame oil adds that extra Asian flavor
31:10 to our tofu as well.
31:11 Got you. So we're gonna...
31:13 I'll switch places. Thank you again, yes.
31:15 With these out to right here.
31:18 We can add, gonna get them evenly spread out
31:24 as you can see right here.
31:27 And then, we kind of have to wait a few couple minutes
31:31 until the tofu gets cooked on each side.
31:35 Yeah, that's pretty much the first step.
31:37 Will you be needing this?
31:38 I want so we can clear out.
31:41 Yeah, thank you very much.
31:42 I'll put this one here.
31:43 You're welcome.
31:45 Then as you can see we also have our other ingredients.
31:48 You see how the broccoli looks so bright and beautiful?
31:50 Oh, yeah.
31:52 We've already blanched it.
31:53 We've already put it in boiling water
31:55 for about three or four minutes
31:57 or until it gets very deep or bright green,
32:00 and then we just took it out.
32:04 That will speed up the process.
32:06 And that way we don't overcook it,
32:08 or we don't get it, you know, too raw and so...
32:11 We want it crispy Crispy.
32:13 Crispy. That's right. That's right.
32:16 You gotta get a crunch in there, you know?
32:19 It just makes it more fun.
32:21 You see how it's getting nice and golden.
32:22 Yeah.
32:24 This is how we're doing.
32:26 Okay.
32:27 And it didn't take a whole lot of...
32:30 What was that that we just poured in there
32:32 just a minute ago?
32:33 Sesame oil?
32:35 Oh, very little, just a little drizzle.
32:36 It's just a little even coat of oil on the pan
32:40 just to help it, you know,
32:42 get a flavoring more than anything.
32:44 But by the way I do, when I mentioned something
32:46 that the sources that we're using
32:49 is one that specifically has no alcohol.
32:53 So make sure when you go to the store,
32:56 check your ingredients.
32:57 You know, we know you're going to buy something,
32:59 it's better always to check what's in there
33:01 and try to get the best option without any toxic or,
33:06 you know, harmful, unhealthy ingredients.
33:09 Yeah.
33:10 So we, there is some,
33:12 there are some in the market that don't have any alcohol.
33:14 So make sure you look for a soy sauce like that.
33:17 And another thing to watch or to remember
33:20 is that soy sauce often has gluten in it
33:23 unless you read and says gluten free,
33:26 you have to watch it because you could say, oh,
33:28 I'm gonna have a meal like this
33:30 with that is gluten free because I'm having tofu
33:32 and the vegetables and some rice,
33:34 those are all gluten free
33:36 but then the soy sauce may have a little bit of gluten
33:39 so watch for that as well.
33:41 Okay.
33:42 Yeah.
33:44 Here we go.
33:45 You see how they're getting nice and crispy?
33:46 Yeah, I love the sound of it.
33:48 Yeah.
33:50 You know in a cooking classes that we do for Sanare,
33:53 we often avoid using some of the things like
33:57 what I just mentioned, like the soy sauce.
33:59 We tend to use Braggs amino acids.
34:02 Have you heard of that product?
34:04 Oh, yeah. Okay.
34:05 So that's what we use often in our classes
34:06 when we work with a lot of people
34:08 that have a lot of health issues,
34:09 since we're trying to really help them restore their health.
34:16 From health and wellness seminars
34:18 and cooking classes and all that.
34:19 Exactly.
34:20 We do 24 day health and restoration programs
34:25 that we come and do at different churches
34:28 or schools or any stations.
34:30 And we also have that a program on a DVD series.
34:35 And so it's just brought so much, so many nice stories,
34:40 you know, from working through this program.
34:43 We have a lot of testimonies, so I would love to share,
34:45 but we don't have much time for that.
34:47 Yeah.
34:48 We have another recipe.
34:49 That's right.
34:51 In fact, this is basically ready.
34:52 Okay.
34:54 So what I like to do is I added that broccoli that is already.
34:57 In previously add quickly cooked
35:01 but just very quickly and then our sauce,
35:04 the same sauce that we made before is our Asian sauce.
35:07 That sauce looks amazing.
35:09 And the idea is that we don't overcook
35:14 and just basically mix this up and then turn it off.
35:18 We don't want to cook the broccoli basically anymore.
35:21 It's already cooked.
35:22 Okay. So this is it.
35:24 We just give it a mix.
35:27 Uh-huh.
35:28 And then we turn it off.
35:30 Okay.
35:31 You see how shiny and beautiful this is?
35:33 Nice, yes.
35:35 It keeps the colors,
35:37 the bright green of the broccoli.
35:41 The tofu is nice and...
35:43 Crispy. That's right.
35:44 That's right.
35:45 Yeah, yeah.
35:47 And the broccolis.
35:48 And the broccoli too.
35:49 Crispy?
35:51 That's right. Yeah, you got it.
35:52 And this is it.
35:54 Now we get to serve it in a pretty dish.
35:55 And we can enjoy it with, of course,
35:56 some rice because it's an Asian dish.
35:58 Yes.
36:00 Or noodles, you know, the one we made before.
36:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
36:03 In fact our next recipe is another great recipe.
36:07 It's that some Vietnamese rolls.
36:10 For the Vietnamese rolls and peanut sauce you'll need.
36:54 Wow, this is gonna be good.
36:56 Yes, they are very delicious, very raw.
36:59 It's like a salad but in a fancier way
37:01 and, of course, with an Asian touch
37:03 because of the sauce and the rice paper.
37:06 Have you seen this before, Jason?
37:08 No, I had not seen that, not in that form.
37:11 Now maybe I've seen it rolled up already.
37:13 Oh, that's right.
37:15 Yes, maybe in a restaurant or something.
37:16 Well, you can make these at home
37:18 by getting these rice paper sheets
37:20 that are very easily accessible these days.
37:22 Pretty much in any grocery store,
37:25 you can find them in like the Asian food sections.
37:29 And they even have brown rice sheets
37:31 in some places
37:33 and so these are kind of like our key or our star ingredient.
37:37 But then we have all these beautiful vegetables
37:38 as you can see right here and I have
37:40 most of them prepared as you can see,
37:42 but we're going to do the cucumber together,
37:43 is that okay?
37:45 Sure.
37:46 So here, you take half, I'll take half.
37:48 You know what?
37:49 We would be able to...
37:50 Let's see what we got here.
37:52 You have a knife or not?
37:53 I don't have a knife, but I'll improvise with this.
37:56 Good. That's great.
37:57 With little knife here.
37:59 No, not like that.
38:00 Not like that.
38:02 We're not making salad.
38:03 I did say it's like salad, you know,
38:04 but we're making this in the roll.
38:06 So we're gonna do them in long strips like this, okay.
38:11 We're going to keep the skin on this cucumber
38:13 because this cucumber is one of those
38:14 English cucumbers that have very soft, crispy skin.
38:18 Okay, crispy.
38:20 Yeah.
38:21 That seems to be the theme of the program,
38:23 Asian food and crispy, got you.
38:26 It adds that extra crunch.
38:28 So I do like to add cucumber even though
38:31 most of the ingredients are crispy, are crunchy,
38:35 but it's pretty much how you cut.
38:36 You know how they use something also cucumber in sushi?
38:40 In sushi, huh-huh.
38:41 Have you had like, you know, sushi?
38:43 Well, it's the same idea to put cucumber
38:45 also in these Vietnamese rolls
38:48 that are going to be very tasty.
38:50 At home I make these,
38:52 but I have to make about 10 of them per person
38:56 because they just love them.
38:58 Wow, they're just disappearing, huh?
38:59 They disappear.
39:01 That's exactly right, because they're so light.
39:02 It's a bunch of vegetables, you know.
39:04 Of course, the sauce makes it little bit heavy
39:06 because this sauce takes some peanut butter.
39:08 Got you.
39:10 But that's pretty since how we do.
39:11 So how do you want to serve?
39:12 Yeah, I want to cut my strips thinner.
39:14 Yes, kind of like this.
39:16 Yeah, cut them in half or something if you can.
39:18 I'll trade.
39:20 Let me borrow your knife for a quick relief.
39:21 Oh sure, that's the problem, right?
39:23 Yeah, that's a problem.
39:25 Okay, now that we have our cucumber ready.
39:28 Let's set it out right here to the side little bit.
39:30 And we're going to pick our rice paper.
39:34 Now I have here we're gonna put,
39:38 you know what I will need your cutting board
39:39 when you're done, okay, whenever you're ready.
39:41 All right.
39:42 But we're going to take a big dish like this one.
39:45 Hopefully the dish that has a...
39:47 That is very wide but also with some depth.
39:50 You need that with filled with hopefully drinking water
39:54 since we're going to eat this raw.
39:55 And what we'll do is that we're going to dip
39:58 each rice paper in our water.
40:02 Okay. And sort of wet it.
40:04 And so what does that do for the rice paper?
40:06 It makes it nice and soft,
40:08 kind of like a piece of wet cloth.
40:11 You see, how it starts getting a little bit more manageable
40:16 or you're able to, you're able to roll it.
40:18 There you go. Yeah.
40:19 So you just wet it.
40:21 This is made with rice and I assume it's cooked
40:23 because it's very sticky as well.
40:26 Okay, so that's all you do.
40:27 You don't soften it too much,
40:28 just enough to be able to roll it.
40:30 Okay. And then once you keep...
40:31 Okay, you want this cutting board, right?
40:33 Yes, if you can.
40:34 I'm gonna use that cutting board.
40:37 But see, we're both going to make these.
40:39 So we might need an extra cutting board.
40:41 Okay.
40:42 So, that way.
40:45 Thank you so much, Jason.
40:46 You're welcome. Thank you.
40:48 That little piece of cucumber.
40:49 Yeah, it was hanging on there.
40:50 Yeah.
40:52 So what do you want is you put your rice paper
40:54 that is already wet and pliable?
40:57 Is that how you say it?
40:59 Yeah, pliable. Okay.
41:00 And then you put one leaf of lettuce,
41:02 you don't have to have lettuce cut,
41:04 it is a soft lettuce like this one.
41:06 You just put one in the middle like that.
41:08 Then you put ingredients in the order that you want.
41:11 You can put a little bit of cabbage,
41:13 then you put a little bit of carrot,
41:15 right, like that.
41:18 Couple of little julienned pepper.
41:22 Then some cilantro sprigs like this.
41:28 Yes.
41:29 You see how pretty that is,
41:31 so colorful like a little rainbow.
41:32 And what you do is that you bring,
41:34 you bring the sides in,
41:37 first of all you bring the sides in like this.
41:41 You have them both touch hopefully
41:43 so that they can stick to each other.
41:44 Almost like a burrito.
41:46 Yes, exactly!
41:48 Now you did say you like Mexican food.
41:50 I do like Mexican.
41:51 You did say that. That's right.
41:52 So then you roll them like this.
41:54 Okay.
41:56 You roll them like this.
41:57 And then you have your beautiful
41:59 little Vietnamese roll, all ready to be eaten up.
42:03 So we can put them like right here
42:04 in a nice pretty dish all stacked up.
42:07 Let's do them together. How about that?
42:09 You want to try? I'll give it a try.
42:10 All right, so here's another sheet.
42:13 Let's wet a little bit like
42:15 two or three dips into the water.
42:18 Okay, not too much.
42:20 Like I said, you don't want to get it
42:21 to the point that is so wet that it breaks,
42:23 is just enough to get it to fold.
42:27 All right, I think yours is ready.
42:28 I don't have another cutting board
42:31 so I had to improvise.
42:32 Yeah, let's improvise.
42:33 Let's do it right here two of us.
42:35 That's fine. Yeah, we can both manage.
42:36 There's enough room.
42:37 Grab lettuce, right, in that space?
42:39 Yeah, you can use or you can do either way you want,
42:41 you can even roll the lettuce
42:42 or not put lettuce if you don't like it,
42:45 but put as many or as little as much as.
42:48 My hands are cleaned by the way.
42:49 I believe you.
42:50 You gotta be with clean hands in the kitchen.
42:52 That's right.
42:53 It's crucial. Yeah.
42:54 All right.
42:56 So yeah, there's enough room for both of us here.
42:57 Isn't it fun to do this?
42:59 It is.
43:01 At home I try to get my little boy involved.
43:03 He's five years old.
43:05 And, of course, he doesn't really quite know
43:07 how to make them very well yet,
43:09 but he loves to try because he loves to eat them.
43:12 Yes.
43:13 So it's a fun way to getting kids involved
43:16 and also enthusiastic about eating vegetables
43:19 in a fun way like this.
43:21 Plus this sauce gives us such a delicious touch.
43:23 Perfect, Jason.
43:25 This is the part that's gonna be the struggle.
43:27 You can do it.
43:29 You just fold them into the side, to the middle,
43:32 and then you tightly have to roll it in,
43:37 you know, like bringing the veggies like close to you.
43:40 Kind of like a burrito.
43:41 You said, you want the middle to touch.
43:43 If possible, yes,
43:44 because that will help it stick.
43:46 They will stick that way.
43:47 You see.
43:49 And then you have and they will, it will,
43:50 the shininess will go away
43:52 because it will kind of dry out a little bit more.
43:54 But they're so pretty that way.
43:56 But then you'll see when we cut them,
43:58 they will just look at, "Oh good job Jason!
44:01 Yes, that's good."
44:03 Is that the first time you made one?
44:05 First time I made one
44:06 and hopefully when you make yours,
44:08 it will turn out better than when I rolled mine.
44:11 Yeah, no, it's actually turned out very good.
44:14 It's not difficult.
44:16 Now let's move onto our sauce.
44:17 Okay?
44:18 We forget the cucumber.
44:20 We cut the cucumber.
44:21 Let's make a couple more with cucumber.
44:22 How about that? Okay? Okay.
44:24 Because we forgot to put cucumber
44:25 that was the point of cutting the cucumber.
44:27 That's the key.
44:28 I was like, well, I didn't know what's going in the sauce.
44:30 I'm sorry.
44:31 No, that doesn't go into the sauce,
44:33 that goes in the inside of the roll.
44:37 That was silly, but we can do it.
44:38 We can do some, couple more with cucumber.
44:40 In fact, people don't like cucumber
44:42 or don't like some of the veggies
44:44 so you can just put whatever you do
44:46 whatever is of your choice, you know.
44:47 Absolutely.
44:48 And I'm sure plenty of people at home
44:50 have left out some ingredients.
44:51 Oh, yes, 'cause you don't have everything,
44:53 you use whatever you do have.
44:55 You can even put some sautéed tofu,
44:58 people do that or you can...
45:00 As long as it's crispy.
45:01 Yes, as long it is crispy please.
45:06 There you put your cucumber, really it's too big,
45:08 so you had to maybe cut it a little bit.
45:10 But then it's gonna be a little bit more crunch.
45:15 Yeah. All right.
45:17 So now for our...
45:18 Yeah, we'll make sure you finish that off.
45:21 And then we'll move on to our sauce.
45:25 This where he has a little bit of cabbage out,
45:28 but that's okay, Got you.
45:29 So do you want to switch sides with me
45:31 while I roll this one
45:32 and then you're gonna work on the sauce.
45:34 Great. Sure thanks, Jason. Wonderful.
45:36 For our sauce
45:37 we're going to have a little pot,
45:38 we'll just turn on the stove.
45:40 And in this little pot,
45:41 we're going to put the peanut butter.
45:43 Okay, first goes a peanut butter.
45:45 Let me put it in
45:48 and we're going to add some water to it.
45:51 The water will help loosen it up
45:53 so that we don't have such a thick sauce,
45:55 but rather more of a dipping sauce
45:58 for our rolls.
45:59 So we're going to stirred up a little bit like this,
46:01 in fact, I have here a little whisk,
46:03 this is perfect.
46:04 We're gonna whisk it up like this.
46:08 And we're gonna just get it
46:14 very smooth, nice and smooth.
46:17 As we stir we put in the rest of the ingredients.
46:20 So we have here the soy sauce which will give it
46:23 as the taste the Asian taste, as well as the saltiness.
46:29 So we're not going to use salt,
46:30 just the soy sauce or the amino, aminos.
46:36 And then to give flavor, we're going to add some ginger.
46:40 Nice, which is great for your stomach too.
46:43 Oh, yes, ginger is great for so many things
46:46 and plus it's so delicious.
46:47 I'll get this out. Are you done with the cucumber?
46:49 You know, yes, we are.
46:50 We're gonna make some more later,
46:51 but for now we're done.
46:53 Thank you very much.
46:54 Welcome.
46:55 And this is gonna start boiling quick.
46:58 So let's turn it on a little bit more.
46:59 Then we add our sesame oil.
47:03 That gives it a very special flavor.
47:07 And then some...
47:10 How do you call it, a cane sugar?
47:12 Hopefully the most natural sugar you can find.
47:14 Okay.
47:16 This sauce like sweet and salty, okay,
47:20 like most Asian things are, most Asian sauces are.
47:23 And at the end we're also going to add
47:26 just a little bit of lemon juice,
47:28 just to give it a little more tartness.
47:30 Got you.
47:31 And that way it complements very well the veggies,
47:34 you know, so the acidity in the lemon juice
47:36 makes it perfect.
47:37 All right, that's it.
47:39 Oh, there you go.
47:40 That was quick.
47:41 Yeah, that thing is excited, it's jumping off the pot on us.
47:43 You see how quickly that was made?
47:45 Absolutely.
47:47 The garlic and ginger don't have to be cooked,
47:49 overcooked just enough to get the flavors going.
47:52 But then, you have the sauce ready.
47:56 Nice.
47:58 You see how simple that was? Yeah.
47:59 It would be ideal to let it cool a little bit
48:01 before you serve it.
48:03 This is so small, it will cool off very quickly.
48:06 So there's no big deal right now.
48:09 But yes, you should serve the sauce cold, it's best.
48:12 So then what you do is that you, you know,
48:15 serve your beautiful rolls with the sauce.
48:21 And let me show you something, Jason.
48:22 Okay.
48:24 If you take one of the rolls, let's take one right here,
48:27 and you cut it diagonally like this.
48:30 Nice.
48:32 Look how pretty it looks.
48:33 That looks good.
48:34 You see like a rainbow. Yeah.
48:36 And so you can serve them like open like this too,
48:39 you know, you can or you can put them like,
48:41 like these that way it looks pretty.
48:43 And you can garnish with a little bit of cilantro,
48:47 or whatever, all their little greenery.
48:49 But this is a very fancy dish.
48:51 Did you find it difficult?
48:53 No, but you know what I do notice?
48:55 I can tell you everyone that you rolled
48:58 and I can tell everyone that I rolled.
49:00 Yours looks so much better.
49:02 You've done this before.
49:04 I have many times, but it's not that difficult.
49:07 For your first time you did a wonderful job,
49:09 and just takes a little more practice,
49:11 but you'll get it.
49:12 Yeah, it's something that's quick, it's easy,
49:17 it's clearly nutritious.
49:19 Very much so and like I said,
49:21 you get to eat your veggies
49:23 in a very fun and delicious way.
49:25 This in fact is the best way that I get my husband
49:28 to eat vegetables or to eat especially this one.
49:32 He loves this.
49:34 He just loves them. He can eat this.
49:35 All he eats for lunch when I make is this.
49:38 He doesn't want anything else.
49:39 He just wants the rolls with a peanut sauce.
49:41 So it's such a hit at home...
49:43 And the kids love it?
49:44 Oh, yes, my son,
49:45 he wants to make them like I told you,
49:47 he wants to make them.
49:48 So he's learning slowly but surely,
49:50 hopefully one day he'll make them for me.
49:51 Now, what's your favorite type of food?
49:53 Asian, actually it is.
49:56 I lived in Korea for a while
49:58 and I just fell in love
50:00 with the culture and the country,
50:02 everything, but especially the food.
50:03 So it's one of those foods that kind of hits the spot.
50:06 And I love to make it, it's so simple,
50:09 and quick and easy.
50:11 So I just enjoy making it and eating it, of course.
50:13 Nice.
50:15 And have you always been like
50:16 big into veggies and all that stuff.
50:18 I noticed like almost each dish that we've made has
50:22 had some kind of veggie in it pretty much.
50:24 We did.
50:25 As you could see, we used a variety of vegetables,
50:28 a huge variety.
50:30 And yes, I have pretty much always enjoy them.
50:32 We used to have a farm when I was growing up.
50:34 We used to have our own garden.
50:36 So even the Brussels sprouts that most people don't like,
50:39 we used to have them in our garden.
50:40 So because we planted them and it was hard, you know,
50:43 hard to get them going.
50:46 We'd appreciate it all the veggies
50:47 that we were able to get back.
50:49 So yes, I enjoyed it very much, enjoyed it right, yes.
50:51 Got you.
50:53 And let's see here.
50:54 So we've got the cucumber, you've got the peanut sauce,
50:58 you've got the leaf lettuce here
51:00 and the wraps.
51:01 What else can you?
51:03 Could you put some tofu in this maybe?
51:04 Tofu or even have avocado.
51:06 Avocado is a very good option to put a little along,
51:09 you know, things of avocado
51:12 or tofu or other kinds of vegetables,
51:14 other things that you may enjoy,
51:16 you can even put little peanuts in there or whatever you know.
51:18 Now what if I wanted to add a little vegan cheese,
51:21 put a little vegan cheese in there?
51:23 Maybe I've never tried them that way,
51:24 but I'm sure you can go very, very creative with them.
51:27 Yeah.
51:28 Just kind of mix it up a little bit.
51:30 Exactly.
51:31 But it's a great, great thing to have in the summer
51:32 because they're very refreshing.
51:34 Crisp and refreshing. Yes.
51:35 Crispy.
