bro when they just threw the whole pickled plum in their mouth 😆I always remember breaking it up and mixing it into my rice.
Overall u should make and use the type of ingredients u want to use and feel comfortable with if you wanna go for something else similar then go for it
"Onigiri is basically the Japanese Sandwich"
Yeah, basically. It goes with everything, it can be made with everything, and is almost always perfect.
😍🥰
I love how casual, cheerful, and friendly she is when she talks. She doesn't hype anything up and focuses on the dish and its relevance rather than herself. The end result is stunning.
She is an absolute delight. Capable, talented, gorgeous.
She's too pure for this world, bless her.
I love how she says basic yet for me this is about the same as going against a Dark Souls boss
these look amazing and she's so sweet:)
she's like if Raven from the Teen Titans decided to become a chef
She's so adorable.
…. And in England – tesco meal deal
I could listen to her all day, talking about anything.
So soothing so chill! Would love to see her have her own ASMR Bento channel –
I’d subscribe!
LOVE inari….
I can't wait to try this out! I love to cook for my family so this will be a fun surprise for them! (BTW I'm 11 and have know how to make like 100 foods at least like I have made meatloaf with cake by myself before.)
so my main question is: you don't reheat if i wanna do this for work?
I do this but on a bowl. Too lazy to buy a bento box. I just use shrink wrap.
Been binging her videos. Oddly relaxing
A white weeaboo woman is teaching people how to make Japanese food. If that isn’t cultural appropriation, I don’t know what is. She must be a Biden voter.
hello my fellow weebs 👋
It looks delicious♡
I am studying world cuisine. Subscribed and highly evaluated! I look forward to it from now on♪
I'm getting some serious "chill mom" energy from this lady.
Extremely calming content I'm rewatching during this mad period… Please get Elena to make more video content!
weeb levels at its finest.
she's soo chill you could have sworn she came to the set high on weed
Great advice here! I like the idea of salting your hands before working with the rice.
Forgive me but there’s nothing traditional about this. And I know I’ll get the, “how would you know?!” Comments so I’ll just answer that now. I went to school in Japan for 6 years to become a chef and that was from 2001-2007. I’ve since been the executive chef of Japanese restaurants in the past in NYC, LA, Chicago and Philadelphia. I then started working closely with Japanese people doing consulting work for those who are opening restaurants and cafes here in Asia, outside of Japan. I also speak, read and write the language fluently. Ok, now that this is out of the way, time for the next part of my rant. Just because someone can make something appear to look like the original, it still doesn’t mean it is. It’s kind of like, “artists” nowadays who throw or dump a bunch of paint on a canvas and act like they’ve created some masterpiece. However this is what children having been doing since… forever. It’s just a very lazy approach. Her recipes are way off and there’s nothing traditional about it, even in presentation. I want to go further but it would be too lengthy. I’m tired of seeing yuppies infiltrating scenes and watering them down. Just because her last name is Japanese doesn’t mean she knows anything. In my eyes, she’s about as Japanese as a Chinese owned Japanese restaurant. Even Japanese people would say so. Forgive me for being harsh but I am a REAL CHEF who was actually trained in Japan so this gets on my nerves.
Careful your salmon bellys should be same color…. That belly looks farmed and an older fish in system
10/10 this is some asmr bob ross cooking right here.
I could tell the others were not a fan of the umeboshi lol. Loved the video tho!
I’ve been trying to learn how to make bento for so long, but the videos and websites I’ve been to never list the ingredients, and I was ready to give up until… BEHOLD! I found her! Elena THANK YOU! I wanted to try and make bento but I didn’t know any traditional ingredients for it until now! You’re awesome, thank you so much!
Isn’t Umeboshi apricot not plum?
Was hoping she'd wrap it with cute fabric to carry them!
