how many michelin stars does her rastaurant have?

>>16606127
MSG is good tho

>>16606147
I don't know, but I'd like to make her see stars if you know what I'm saying.

>>16606127
Same with people who use salt. If you use salt, you're at the same level as a McDick's burger flipper
t. OP

>>16606127
We get it. You hate women.

>>16606163
so your'e saying whatever stars she gets she will claim double the amount?

>>16606173
are you saying women can't cook without msg?

lel

>>16606186
No. You're projecting that opinion on me.

I use msg and have nothing against it, but it just feels odd that a "pro" chef uses msg. It's like watching a "pro" gamer use aimbot or play easy mode. You're a "pro" for doing difficult things well. Msg is easy mode.

>>16606191
dude made a post about a women using msg

you screeched about misogyny

so how am I projecting?

maybe stay on topic little boy and stop your political activism for a sec, this is a food forum bro

>>16606217
I was being facetious.

>>16606210
making a broth taste really good without msg is the most satisfying and fulfilling experience ever. Good challenge

>>16606229
yeah obviously, I meant no harm brother

>>16606210
You think you can just magically spawn compounds once you get on a certain level?

>>16606484
yes

>>16606127
These videos are generally clickbait with the pricing

the roast chicken one was probably the most egregious.

>$226 roast chicken vs $18 roast chicken

Then you look at the ingredients and they're spending $120 on a bottle of aged balsamic vinegar, which yes IS expensive, but you're not gonna use the whole fucking bottle, they literally use MAYBE 1/25th of the bottle, but they still list the entire bottle cost in the ingredients.

Just dumb shit, more accurately it would be ~$115 roast chicken vs $18 roast chicken.

>>16606149
It's not

>>16606127
I use MSG because I have high blood pressure and take heart medication.

>>16606127
I'm not watching the video but there's no way that ramen costs $116 unless they're making like 15 bowls or they're buying entire bottles of stuff they will only use a little bit of

>>16607676
Here is the breakdown

They also don't include the cost of the pork bone broth that she made over 48 hours at her restaurant that was used as the base for the ramen.

>>16607698
>>16607676
and if they had more broth available and a bit more pork belly they'd easily have enough ingredients for a dozen bowls.

>>16606234
>it's challenging to just let some kombu sit in the broth for a while
Well okay that's basically msg but it's """natural""" so it doesn't count. Or just add yeast extract. Or my favorite spotted in bouillion advertised as "no msg", monoammonium glutamate.

>>16607707
yeah that's all bullshit. $14 for rendered chicken fat? what the hell is that? $8 for potassium carbonate and $3.19 for cornstarch? the only believable thing in that whole list is the scallions and pork belly and that big ass bottle of evian that they need for some reason even though they're in a kitchen

>>16607983
As seen here >>16606613
They list the cost of buying it from the store, and they list the price for the entire thing.

So for the ramen when it says Eggs: $5.99, that's because they got a dozen eggs or some shit

and when it says $8 for potassium carbonate, it's because they bought 250g of it or something and then only used a small amount in the actual recipe.

They clearly weren't using $11 worth of soy sauce or Mirin either.

"I use salt and have nothing against it, but it just feels odd that a "pro" chef uses salt"

>>16606127
>msg bad

>>16606163
that's her face when it goes into the "wrong" hole.

>>16608097
this but unironically

>>16606613
Where can I buy 1/25th of a bottle of aged balsamic vinegar? The prices listed reflect what you would need to pay to procure the ingredients used, not necessarily what goes into that one single dish.

>>16610357
Why don't they factor in the cost of the kitchen too?

>>16606127
wanna know what’s really weird here? that’s the cheap/normie kombu. there’s stuff that goes for 4-5 times the price and is presumably better, but as far as i can tell this is the cheapest brand you can get without it being seriously dirty.

>>16610561
And the cost of your mom

>>16610357
Because you're going to use that balsamic in other things or if you make the recipe again.

So the recipe is $226 the first time, but each subsequent attempt is ~$110?


It's just a dumb way to inflate the "cost" of the comparison meals.

msg is perfectly fine the problem is chain restaurants stuffing it into everything to get people to eat their slop

>>16611368
It would be silly if the expensive dish was $infinite because my mom is priceless.
