It was obvious from the first omlette that he was leaving it over the heat too much. Even with this editing, the thing I noticed was that the japanese chef took the pan off the heat when he was flipping the omlette, and he was way overcooking his eggs.... Basics, basics, basics....

I agree with so many here. Alex is phoning it in. This is not up to the standards of past video series, of what attracted 2+ million subs. Alex, maybe you need a break, maybe a reset, maybe some perspective, but the last few videos are really not what we came here to see. I hope you find the time and passion to do better. I look forward to what comes next, as long as it really pushes you, challenges you, and it's a real journey. If i were you, I'd delete this video, apologize, and show us the real Alex. Salut.

Agree, but even then he did a 'reset' a couple of years ago, has invested in a whole new kitchen set up and yet the content quality has still nose dived. It just doesn't feel genuine anymore, it is contrived and deliberately and unconvincingly melodramatic. Also agree with another comment that I'm pretty close to unsubbing AGAIN - I unsubbed at the start of the fried rice series cos he was just making a mountain out of a molehill - all the contributions from experts said "just use whatever left overs you have in the fridge - that's what fried rice is all about" - Alex proceeded with angsty editing and posturing and makes a whole series out of it. This was, I believe, the beginning of the end of this channel but I came back to give it another shot. It has really got to improve to keep its audience.

I think that the sponsor is ironically not helpful with what needs to be done and this is Alex's cry for genuine depression without us actually knowing it. As much as there is fantastic stuff out on the Internet, I think that Alex is losing sight of genuine curiosity and is chasing whatever is popular at the moment. From what I could tell, all of the cooking channels that I have been subbed to have lost my attention and interest for this reason. A lot of the content that I have been seeing feels more... corporatized. Perhaps this explains his diversification of money as his channel needs to support a team of people. He needs a separate channel that gives him a way to express his creative freedom... like a channel that dives into the process of his engineering marvels for cooking, as he has been stuck in a creative backsliding situation. He also needs a channel to vent his frustrations. He can keep his "Cooking" channel and "Engineering" channel separate and be unified with what fascinating stuff there is out on the market for the average home cook. If there is a shred of inspiration that needs to come out, it is the fact that Alex needs to move himself away from eggs in general (as unfortunate as this seems), as he has put all of his eggs into one basket, which is this channel (metaphorically and literally). He is in fact trapped by the KZread algorithm and stuck creatively.

It’s always been the case. The “answer” he claims to discover at the end is usually a couple of google searches away. Mostly he researches it reads/watches about out how it’s done then has a first couple of attempts where he really hams up how wrong he gets it. Then makes a couple of intentional missteps where he goes totally in the wrong direction, then finally “discovers” the correct way to do it (which he would have known from the beginning by doing a few minutes of research). This video is actually not as bad from that perspective as he definitely would have had to make a lot of omelettes to perfect the technique - which is definitely a difficult one to master.

Its very hard to be a genuine person and not promote scammers who sell very private and personal info.

From my experience, one of the most important things to make a good omurice is a pan with high heat conductivity. You need to have both high heat and the ability to quickly lower it. So no stainless or heavy skillet. After that, you need to slightly scramble it when it's still runny, let it sit a bit, separate the edges from the pan and then fold. You don't have to do the fancy flip, you can shape it on the edge and then roll it over.

I've been adding some cornstarch and milk. Tip- add cornstarch to milk first! This upped my omelette/scrambled eggs game. Also, I don't touch the egg mixture with a utensil; I just shake the pan vigorously and the skin isn't damaged and the curd forms. This is modified pepin and child's technique

Alex, I am sorry to have to add to the negative comments. You have done very well in your older videos, which is why I subscribed. In the last 3 years, you have produced about 2 videos a year that I enjoy watching. At the beginning of your channel, you released a good video about every week. You were much lower budget and more creative then, which is why I enjoyed them. Now you seem to be going posh and dining out where I don't think I will ever go to. Also some of your series seem to end abruptly, without a conclusion or takeaway on what you learned. I understand that you may be exhausted and don't have the same drive you did a few years ago. If you want to keep subscribers like me, herr are some suggestions. Make a few more episodes to complete the croissant, ramen and Mother sauce series. Travel to the tropics and harvest cocoa beans and finish your chocolate series. Do more improvising cooking similar to your lock down potatoes and ramen. Also outdoor cooking in the mountains. I know you can't please everyone, but if you want your channel to stop going downhill, ask us what we want too see!

The croissant and mother sauce series are complete. If you look at the playlists he makes it clear in the videos they're the last episodes. Ramen, yeah, not sure what happened to that one.

@@mrwho995 They may be completed as much as Alex intends to, but I feel that he didn't wrap up the loose ends. For example he built a cool croissant rolling machine, but I don't remember him actually making a batch of croissants with it. The sauces series, he did not go yo Italy and learn about sauce tomate like he referred to in his podcast.

@@wyattholm5720 Yeah fair point, looking back I can remember thinking some of his series ended a bit abruptly

I went to Kichi Kichi in 2019 and stayed in a nearby hotel. They didn't know that place was famous at all. I think it's mostly online / foreigner famous than local famous. As it is hard to get a reservation and it's just omurice (though a great one), I don't think many Japanese people bother going there. The omurice was indeed great, but I did enjoy the meat stew as a "starter" they use to make the demi glace with better maybe!

Second i saw the omelette attempt, i said to myself "why is he trying to french a japanese omelette"

Alex…… Thank you!!!! I have been waiting for this video for so long! There is no one and I mean NO ONE on KZread better suited to try this than you!

Hello Alex, good to see you made it! I have a hint from my tries to make that dish (and I still try, mine is not really done till now). Use a cheap pan. A cheap pan is light and has bad heat retention and so I can take the pan off the heat and get a little more time when forming the shape, but back on stove the heat comes back on fast (on a full power induction or a strong gas flame like the jet engine Chef Motokichi is using). So I can adjust the heat somewhat a cheat myself some extra time when I really need it.

YES!!! I'm so excited about this 🍽

What are those sickly eggs you are using? or is it the camera settings that makes it look almost pure white in the pan?

Alex and Eggs! I see this as an Absolute win! ❤❤❤❤🥚🥚🥚

Oooo. What a fantastic challenge!

Daaaaang the comments sound so harsh when you read them all, but I see we’re all thinking the same things. Let’s remember that although the content isn’t the quality we’re used to and he’s still promoting a problematic sponsor, he is human. And maybe he’s using better help a lot because he’s going through something and that’s why the content is falling off. He’s given us so much great content to be grateful for in this cesspool of nonsense called KZread. Let’s just hope if he’s having any struggles right now, he gets better! If you’re reading this, sending good vibes your way, Alex! Please take care of yourself! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

As Bob Ross would say, "It won't work if you don't make that noise."

If Alex's life was a manga series, this would be the final arc

How many eggs and omelettes sacrificed their lives for this episode?

I've been hoping and waiting for this moment to arrive for SO long, and I can't describe the joy and excitement I had when I saw it on my subs feed 😃🤙 Looking forward to seeing how this video goes, all the best from the UK! 🖤

@2:05- Okay, we're off to a good start! 😂🤣 lmfao

That was totally awesome.Watching you progress through the stages of learning how to make that omelet very impressed

Look at Uncle Rogers last video, where he visits this chef, for the whole recipe. You're also missing stone ingredients in the egg mixture

This felt so anticlimactic like he doesn’t care

I KNEW you were going to get yourself involved with this chef! Can't wait to see you stand next to him in his restaurant.

Watching this right after Uncle Roger's 9mil video with Omimurice, the guy is on the roll. Alex, cool stuff, but faaaaaar from yoir true vibe

the tip is to heat up the pan first, then lower the fire to the lowest setting, stir it to clump up the egg, the final step is the hardest, this part it just practice make perfect. congrat on done it

Was your pan hot enough for the leidenfrost effect with drops of water?

I love your Videos Alex!

That split omelette at about 10:45 had a decidedly Georgia O’Keefe aspect to it…

What type of carbon steel pan does he use? I’ve tried many, but my seasoning never gets close to “nonstick”.

Too bad 😢 I was hoping 'till the end that you show how to make the complete dish ... with the typical rice under it AND the sauce/demiglace on top. Is he using a classical western style demiglace or is it a special thing for his dish. Please bring us more information! Greetings from germany 🖖

Why would he make the video any longer? He already advertised for his sponsor.... /s

Uncle roger also did this! I believe in you Alex! You will be an omurice Uncle too!

Alex is already an Honorary Great Uncle lol! Maybe not an omurice Uncle, but when you've been praised by Jaques Pépin himself you're at the very least an Uncle

If I got that meal in a restaurant I’d have sent it back saying that it isn’t cooked

Quality of the eggs is a huge factor. When we had our own chickens the yolks were bright orange almost red. They were so thick they were hard to pierce and they held the egg mixture together much better than the watery pale yellow yolks you get out of eggs at the grocery store.

True story.

12:12 I'm with you Lou! Alex earned an applause! You're so lucky to have him alex! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great video Alex! I noticed you did not use chopsticks like in the video. Could that maybe yield better curds?

Two seconds in I already knew pure wrong for using a fork 😂

I see the key was watching Uncle Roger getting taught by the master 🤣

Awesome! I cheered when you did! One question: how many eggs did you have to cook (and eat?)? This seems like a skill that takes many hours to practice.... I can cook a lot of omelettes in an hour. :) Cheers!

you need to say the full magic spell "ton ton ton kororincho~"✨

What's the Pantone # for your blue? Thanks!

What are you doing to me Alex!! Now I have to try this as long as it takes!!!!!!!!

Alex, I’ve been trying hard to get this one right. I’m not bad at a French Omelette (I like adding a hint of shredded cheese to it), but I see we both have the same error: a not hot enough pan. There are some techniques I also discovered watching “Uncle Roger” as he went to this restaurant to learn the technique. I will try again. Thanks.

IS ALEX FINALLY GOING SOMEWHERE BESIDES ITALY??!!!

No, of course not.

2:10 It was at this moment he knew, he should have become a knitter.

It’s likely an overlap but Uncle Roger just did a video with him and “mastered” the same and in that video he did it without the slice but flip and land and open.
