Early Morning Breakfast Breakfast Quesadilla
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Shabu and I were up before the rest of the family today, which means that we get to share a quick breakfast quesadilla. I don't know where my snacking and quick-meal life would be without flour tortillas and a cheese grater, but I'd certainly be thinner.
By the way, I started a Patreon account. Currently 100% of the money will go towards feeding needy families in my community, here in San Mateo. Lots of kids are out of school and parents are out of work, which means lots of families are going to be hurting. I'll be preparing and distributing free meals from my restaurant to help try and ease this burden.
You can find it here, and I truly appreciate the support.

Since everyone is asking, that’s a Falk copper pan. It’s amazing in terms of even heating, gold conduction, and retention. (And also $$$ and required some special care, so be warned)

RIP Shabu, you were the best. This is the first of Kenji's videos I watched during lockdown, and I so looked forward to them at a time when closed restaurants meant that we were only eating what we cooked. It has been 2.5 years since then, and while most of us are now "used to" Kenji putting out so many great videos, I just want to say thank you for helping so many of us get through it.
I enjoy how this is straight to the point, no instructions and just cooking in the kitchen without the fancy camera angles.
I think what Kenji's been trying to tell us with his recent videos is that you can make a lot of stuff with tortillas

Thanks Kenji, I haven't cooked in ages, and after watching this and practicing the flip, I'm happy to say I nailed it on my first try!
At first I was like "nah, only one tortilla for a quesadilla?" But then he folded it in the pan and cut it in 4 small points. Perfection.
Kenji, keep posting! As a twenty-something I really appreciate the videos of actually affordable, easy to make stuff that won't take me 3 hours to cook that you put out
Kenji, your videos bring so much joy to me and my friends! We would be so happy if you could post these regularly if you have the time and would like to
I really liked this video. The simplicity of it with the POV, indirectly emphasized the joy of cooking and food.
Re-watching this a year later made me realize how your videos (especially this recipe) helped me through quarantine and kept me busy learning new cooking skills 🙌🏻🧑🏼🍳

Thank you for the idea, never thought to make a quesadilla like this. Gonna make it right now.
These videos kind of feel like getting a backstage pass to a chef's creative process. It's also refreshing to see him whip up delights in an average-sized kitchen. Helps to know that great meals can be made without all the fancy mixers/equipment/long-range griddles, etc.
