    Hey Charlee!! If i marinate a beef with shio koji, it will turn out like it was an "aged" beef?? that would work?

  • @PantsDownApronsOn

    It makes an improvement if the steak is not well aged but still high quality to start with. It also has to be no more than 2/3 cm thick. Flat iron or skirt steaks are good choices because the meat has time to tenderise before it starts turning to an unpleasant texture. It does not replace dry aged as some clowns claim. It also adds a very distinctive koji flavour. Not in ya face but it’s there. Most importantly, it won’t make a mediocre steak a wonderful steak. It does however work wonderful on chicken and fish. So no it won’t be like dry aged but on the right steak it will make it more tender and add a bit of extra flavour.

    @@PantsDownApronsOn Yeah. Well. We'll see about the steamer baskets. It's everything else I'm worried about. That said, your recipe for the Russian honey cake is a thing of sublime beauty. I've had a couple of tries and I can't make it look as good, but it tastes magnificent. I can't recommend it highly enough. Also, your fast clotted cream recipe. It's the absolute best thing on the internet. No one else even comes close to you. (And i know, I've tried a lot.) I took some Italian friends (with limited English) of a friend for high tea in London and we ended up having a fierce but polite argument about whether clotted cream was really ricotta. This continued until I saw your recipe and sent it to her and told her to get a grip. And she did and it worked. Magnificently. Long story, short, they've got a truly beautiful garden and they open it to the public a couple of times a year. And they offer an 'authentic' cream tea to visitors using your recipe, They give all their profits to heart-health and cancer charities. So there are people either still alive in this world or having an easier death because you made that video . I just thought you needed to know this.
