As someone who’s eaten a durian (yes, they smell as volatile as Alvin describes them as) they are extremely sweet, I was so worried it would have messed up that savory stew but I’m surprised it didn’t.

@krankarvolund7771

Жыл бұрын

He did say that it was not totally ripe, so there's probably that, and also I don't think a little it of sweetness will mess the whole stew. There's actualle some traditionnal stew that use a little bit of sweetness, like Carbonnade, a stew from north of France, where you traditionally put soft gingerbread on top of the stew ^^

@Magmafrost13

Жыл бұрын

There are over 100 cultivated durian varieties and they vary a lot in sweetness and funkiness. Some of them taste a lot like onions, so I guess it makes sense to put one of those in a savoury stew. Given that Alvin lives in New York he probably doesnt have a lot of varieties to choose from though.

@sofamiller7133

Sweetness is great in a stew. Tomato, carrots, and corn are all great ways to add sweet to a braise or stew. So is wine, which, like the tomato, will bring acidity as well. My favorite, though, is to caramelize my onions.

You could put all the durian in a jar and let it ferment in room temp for a couple of days. It becomes a pungent, savoury, sweet, fermenty paste called tempoyak. It could be used in a stew dish, or mixed in with sambal. For stewed dish using tempoyak, you could check gulai tempoyak ikan patin. Curried freshwater fish with tempoyak to enhance the flavour.

This is making me wanna see an episode on some of the curry variations from Pokémon Sword and Shield. It would be another opportunity to do some fun outdoor cooking, and there are a lot of different special ingredients to choose from to show off different flavor profiles and such. Obviously I don’t expect Alvin to fill out an entire Curry Dex in one episode, but I think it would be neat to see a selection of his favorite special ingredients, maybe one to pair with each of the basic flavor profiles in the game (sweet, sour, spicy, dry, bitter, and if one is feeling ambitious, mild).

Perfect timing since Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has just been announced.
