The thing that stands out for me in ALL of these videos is the sheer amount of wasted ingredients the pro chefs end up with. They throw garlic in a broth, fish it out and put new garlic in other parts of the dish. What do they do with the old stuff, just throw it away? Or in the videos where they use just half a pineapple or piece of fruit as a garnish. Not enough attention goes to how much the pro chefs waste vs the home chefs, who use everything they bring.

Those are the makings of a true cook/chef. Being able to transform ingredients not just use expensive ones.

[recipe below] Just tried making Esther's $11 version (only without meat and then we added mushrooms at the end) with my sister. We had it for lunch and I would highly recommend it. Our mom and our other sister were very impressed with us doing this by ourselves, and it's actually pretty doable for younglings like me. So don't be intimidated by it! My sister and I's version of Esther's $11 version : (serves 4 and takes ~2 hours) Ingrediets : -veggie broth from walmart [it already had 4 servings] (fight us, we decided to make this today. what did you expect?) -3 stems of scallions -4 eggs -5 cups of water -1/4 cup veggie oil -4 cloves of garlic (minced) -2 tablespoons of peeled and chopped ginger -4 ramen noodle servings -1/3 cup soy sauce -red pepper flakes (to taste) -mushrooms (to taste) -fried onion bits that we already had (to taste) ~broth~ 1. dump broth into a pot. leave be for now ~tare~ 2. in a different (and cold) sauce pot, add 1/3 soy sauce, 2 out of 4 cloves of garlic, and half of your chopped ginger (1 tablespoon) 3. take out a small bowl and a strainer for later 4. now turn the heat on to boil for 5 mins 5. take it off heat and strain your tare into a small bowl 6. in the strainer, you still have garlic and ginger bits. dump these bits into your sitting broth for flavor, leave broth be for now ~aromatic oil~ 7. mince the rest of your garlic and chop the rest of your ginger, leave on cutting board for now 8. take out a small bowl with a strainer in it and a small plate with a paper towel on it for later 9. take a large pan and add 1/4 cups of veggie oil and 2 of your scallion stems (cut with kitchen scissors) 10. heat this until its starts to bubble 11. when it starts to bubble, add your garlic and ginger, don't leave 12. when the garlic starts to turn, take it off heat, then strain it 13. in the strainer, you have scallion, garlic, and ginger pieces. dump them onto the plate with the paper towel to dry. they will become crispy. leave be your oil and yummy bits for now. ~eggs~ 14. take out a small pot and add 4 cups of water and bring this to a boil 15. take out your eggs, and get 1 cup of cold water from the sink 16. dump cold water into the pot then take it off heat 17. gently add your eggs in then cover the pot 18. let sit for 15 minutes 19. during those 15 minutes, take out a medium bowl and fill it with ice and water 20. after 15 minutes, gently take the eggs out and into the ice bowl 21. let it until cool ~noodles~ 22. cook your noodles (i think we all know how to cook instant ramen, right? if not ask google, it's easy) 23. put strained noodles into your ramen bowl ~assembly~ 24. add broth (to taste) into your ramen 25. lightly drizzle your tare and your aromatic oil into the bowl then mix (to taste) 26. add your fried aromatic oil yummy bits (to taste) 27. add fried onion bits (to taste) 28. add mushrooms (to taste) 29. crack your egg into the bowl 30. add red pepper flakes (to taste) 31. have a wonderful time eating this because it takes 2 hours hope this oversimplification and unnecessary specification helps anyone!

If you're really lazy/cheap(like me) & don't want to fuss too much to upgrade that exact same instant chicken Ramen, then get some canned toppings with some dry seasonings & don't worry about tare or anything like that. Just follow the instructions on the packet and add some dried parsley from a jar & garlic POWDER in the broth when you add the packet it comes with, oh and cook some Vienna Sausages in the broth/noodle mix too and throw in some squirts of lemon & lime juices from bottles (if you're extra lazy like me & don't want to mess with cutting the actual fruits & dealing with seeds). Oh and if you already had the boiled eggs (I just did hardboiled because I didn't know about the cold water trick) just remove the shells and slice in half for topping the Ramen once you have the broth & noodles in ur bowl. Of course the Vienna Sausages need to be on top of the noodles as well, then some more toppings. I used some lettuce hand-torn and then a bit of canned Sweet Corn (or used leftover that u had from pan searing it in butter for a different meal with chicken[boneless and pan seared in butter & some Goya Sasón on top before slicing] & mashed potatoes & gravy the other day) and sprinkle some Old Bay seasoning directly on the corn(egg also looks nice with the Old Bay on it). Also some canned string beans(already shredded before u even open the can) is optional, but what isn't optional is half an avocado(sliced) per bowl. Idk, it was like $3 for one avocado and the Vienna Sausages are like $1 per can but you only need like 3-4 sausages per bowl. It was cheap, I was lazy, and my grandmother's arm was hurting from her Covid booster so she didn't feel like doing anything strenuous either so I decided to do a lazy Ramen bowl. Tastes amazing in particular thanks to the juices & the avocado but all the toppings and such were great.

I wrote down Chef Esther's recipe for myself if anyone else wants it! *Ingredients:* Instant Ramen Garlic Ginger Rotisserie Chicken Eggs Scallions Soy Sauce Sesame Seeds *Making the Broth:* Pull off all the meat from the chicken, separating the skin from the meat. The meat on the wings might be too tough for the topping, use it in the broth with the bones & carcass of the chicken. Dismantle the carcass to extract more flavor from the bones. Add water to your stock. For aromatics, loosely chop scallion and ginger (skin on) and smashed garlic and add to pot Boil for an hour or two. *Making Tare:* Add soy sauce to the pot and add in chopped ginger, garlic, and ramen packet and boil for five minutes to make sure that the seasoning packet is fully incorporated, and ginger & garlic is fully extracted. Strain out the ginger and the garlic. *Aromatic Oil:* Chop up the scallions and add them to a cold pan, add vegetable oil, and turn on medium-high heat. While that gets hot, mince ginger and garlic. For ginger, you can peel it with a spoon to minimize waste. You can add scraps to stock. Add minced garlic & ginger to the pan. Do not walk away from the pan, the color will darken VERY QUICKLY. Watch closely and as soon as it starts to turn light brown, take off heat into a new container. Strain to separate the aromatic oil from the crispy topping bits. *Boiled Eggs (Onsen Tamago):* Put one cup of cold water into 4 cups of boiling water (this way the water is about 75-ish degrees Celsius) and let the egg hang out there for 15 minutes in a covered pan to keep the temperature in there. That way you get that super runny silky egg in the broth. Remove from water and put into a bowl with cold water & ice to cool completely before cracking (make sure to account for elevation). *After finishing the above steps, move on to the following:* - Strain the broth through a Shinwa and push down on the carcass with the ladle to get all the good stuff. - Add body to the broth with egg yolks. Separate out yolks from eggs and temper the egg yolks with the broth and slowly whisk. Add egg & broth mixture back into the main broth bowl. Avoid adding the hot broth too quickly, the eggs might begin to cook and curdle. - Fry the chicken skin by adding in vegetable oil and get to a high temperature. Test the heat by holding the chicken skin barely into the pan and waiting to hear a sizzle. - Fry the skin and put it into paper towels. Add some flavoring packet onto the skin for seasoning. - Add half a cup of tare to the chicken meat and put chicken meat back into the pan that was used for frying the skin. When the chicken starts to caramelize, it is ready. - Lightly toast the sesame seeds to release oil, and grind them up in a spice grinder. - Slice up some scallions into sexy scallions. - Boil noodles. *Assembling:* Add sesame seed to the bottom of the bowl and add broth. Add broth and noodles. Then chicken, some of the crispy mixture, and skin. Add egg and scallions and top with aromatic oil. Enjoy!

I love chef Esther she is such an amazing chef and still so humble and nice. I want a series of her just showing how to make cheap good meals for family’s on budgets cause she utilizes ingredients in ways you don’t normally think to

The effort Chef Esther put into making Daniel's dish was such a nice touch, she really brought his dish up to her level then complimented him on his efforts with her recipe, that makes people feel special.🤗 He must've felt on top of the world.

no matter how often I see her name, I still cannot believe the food scientist's name is just perfect for food scientists, Rosemary ( a herb) and Trout ( a fish), like, I don't know if it could be more fitting.

Commenting for the YT algorithm. 🤗🍜 I love that Chef Esther doesn't waste anything, but uses every little part of the ingredient to take the dish to the next level no matter the price of ingredients. Makes us home cooks feel like we can do it too no matter the budget. Also really appreciate home cook Daniel's positive energy in tackling something so complex as making everything from scratch despite being his first time. Thank you everyone 🤗🍜🙌🙌🍜🤗😁

This was fantastic, I learned so many great tips for elevating the basic ingredients as well as the more fancy flourishes. Last week I made some miso ramen with a similar tare and some soy eggs, best ramen I've ever made, next time I'll try my hand at making some chashu pork.

I feel like a interesting version would be to total the cost of the home cook's version and that's how much the pro can spend to show where the viewer could focus the budget for a particular meal (so apparently this all ready exists but sense when has that stopped or even slowed showakers)

@daltigoth3970

@@ShugoAWay Pink salt isn't anything special, mostly just a marketing gimmick. Its pink simply because it hasn't been refined to remove the impurities that naturally occur in salt, and it doesn't have any iodine or anti-caking agents added to it because it is sold in rock form, but the rock form also makes it a pain to use in cooking, as you have to first grind the salt into a separate container before you can accurately measure it for whatever your cooking. You directly grind into the dish because you'll never know how much salt actually came out from the grinding, so the level 3 chef isn't going to opt for pink salt unless they are going purely for presentation with some salt crystals on top of whatever they are making, which would be fiscally wasteful since pink salt tends to cost significantly more than other options. The size/shape of the grain has more bearing than the color/source for a chef on a budget. The level 3 chef would be more inclined to purchase salt with larger grains than your standard table salt, so Kosher salt would be the better all-purpose option, as it is cheaper and usually doesn't contain the iodine and anti-caking agents found in regular table salt. I suspect some of the level 3 chefs would handle things differently, but most are going to opt for the most cost-effective options for ingredients and simply use their knowledge and skills to bolster the flavors and presentation with those cheaper ingredients, as was done in this episode, or will create a recipe with less ingredients but use higher quality ingredients. It still would be fun to see what they would do.

But I am seriously impressed with her resourcefulness and technique with the instant ramen! 😳 I’m definitely going to have to try to make a copycat version of that.

This is so satisfying and so creative at the same time. It all depends on how the Chef wants to do it and not too much on resources (ingredients) one use.

That feeling when a pro chef compliments your cooking and you can tell they're being honest.

I could feel how happy Daniel was after Esther complemented him on how good his ramen tasted. :D

Glad to see a pro chef that doesnt act like theyre too good for a cheaper alternative to what they usually make. With the right attention, you can really elevate any cheap food and this is a beautiful example.
