Related to this, could you make a video of lazy foods that use only high shelf-life ingredients? Like, 1-2 weeks shelf life. As a single person with not that much time for shopping I can't just buy ground beef or a bunch of vegetables randomly to always have on hand, they'd spoil. If I have a lazy phase, then that usually includes shopping, so having things like the mince, chicken, a sub bread or stuff that you need to use up within 3-4 days of purchase on hand is usually not the case.

Canned fish is so good for this. Canned sardines + pasta, capers, lemon, cheese, tomato sauce Canned sardines + sushi rice, herbs, vinegar, grated ginger Canned tuna -> tuna salad Canned tuna -> tuna pasta Canned tuna + rice = onigiri Only problem with 3 week shelf stable is hard to incorporate fruit and veg. Frozen veg can sauté, roast up super quick and easy as an accompaniment to any above meals

@@Nagarath16 i feel you, frozen, pickled and fermented foods are a lifesaver for this; frozen vegetables are honestly sometimes healthier/tastier than the fresh versions, especially out of season. they pick them and process them at peak ripeness, preserving more of the vitamins and flavor, compared to "fresh" produce that's been picked underripe to survive shipping and stuff. not everything freezes well but things like peas, corn, carrots, cauliflower as well as fruits and berries all hold up nicely imo. quick pickled red onions are great to have on standby in the fridge, make a big batch at once and you always have some veg with a hit of acid and color ready to go. fermenting stuff like sauerkraut is easy and dirt cheap, and can last for weeks or months in the fridge; make a bunch when your adhd allows it and you can use it for ages afterwards. for leafy greens, screw the lettuce and go for hardier stuff like chard, kale or spinach, they generally hold up better over time and have more flavor and nutrients
Kinda unrelated to this video, but when it comes to the Ethan Chlebowski systems you are for sure the GOAT. Been doing your Sunday braise every few weeks and have turned it into: chilaquiles, broccoli beef, lazy cheesesteaks, bibimbap, tacos, yakisoba, and probably even more that I’m not thinking of. Love the way you seem to maximize versatility while also not sacrificing flavor and minimizing time commitments.

Best way to solve a food laziness problem is to have food already made and available for reheating on the lazy days. Nothing beats the simplicity of pulling a plate out of a fridge and (maybe) showing it into an oven/microwave.

To me the biggest point was, on those motivated days, prep extra of the raw ingredients like chicken and fruits/veggies, then on the lazy days you can way more easily incorporate them in lazy meals. He's not slicing/cooking chicken on lazy days, he's pulling it out of the fridge on lazy days. He's just cooking double on motivated days (which isn't twice as hard bc you only have to do cleanup once, and lets be real that's the thing I don't wanna do when I'm lazy)

I really like how flexible you let your recipes be at the same time sticking to the fundamental food science behind it. Love from India🇮🇳❤️

I love stuff that is easy to cook while not taking long, has few ingredients, and tastes good without being bad for you. I think these three fit the bill pretty good and I'm definitely going to give them a try starting with the gochujang beef. Great video.
What a fantastic episode 👏🏼 please make this a series 🙏🏼
My go-to has been the gochujang beef on those days when I'm working overtime and need to feed my family. It's super tasty! The last time I made this, I was out of frozen peas, so I subbed with frozen broccoli and a can of mixed veggies - not as delicious as the frozen peas, but still really tasty and FAST.
I always like sandwiches, bowls, and wraps, so this episode as always great for me
Awesome techniques! I construct my yog bowls in a similar fashion. I’d love to see more of your take on healthy, accessible homemade desserts for the every day! 🫶🫶 Great video🥰
Great video. I am also team prep/cook items 1 or 2 days a week to help jump start meals by the time you get home. I'll roast a whole bunch of Korean sweet potatoes and eat that through the week. I am not a fan of cooking in the microwave, but a whole filled AnyDay bowl with veggies with a sauce is one of the best ways to hit that daily fiber. One thing I've been incorporating recently is adding 1-2 ounces of dry white wine or sake into these protein + veggie bowls. It makes the meal taste way fancier than it is.
I just discovered your videos, and can I just say I appreciate your use of "pre-made" sauces? My "systems" do not always want to break out all the spices, oils, etc to make a home made sauce. I understand making your own is usually better (because you can control what goes into them), but it's nice to see a chef not guilt people for taking the easy way. I think I'll subscribe now :)
I had banana cocoa protein bar yogurt for breakfast this morning, adding that to my breakfast rotation. Also thank you for pointing out the importance of letting that ground beef cook till it gets that crunch. I tried a dish with ground beef and it was horrible but I’m convinced it would have been much better if I cooked mine until it got a crust. I’m learning so much!
You speak my language. All the reasoning to why something would work. Its like you are writing a persuasive essay and then act it out with examples i.e your recipies. Such a smart way to present !!
YES gochujang is our cheat code lol. there so many fermented bean paste in east-asia (korea: doenjang, japan: miso, china: tianmian sauce). but gochujang is easily my favorite one. It's sweet taste comes from the fermented rice it made with.
These are my favorite episodes, thank you Ethan!!!
Whenever you are using gochujang in your dish, adding one or two cloves of minced/ground garlic brings up the flavor a lot more (korean speaking here)
at the end of each recipe, you eat, we watch and drool, no fair
I really loves that quote, thank you, also the yoghurt bowl, definitely something I am going to prep!

I've had some ground venison sitting in my freezer for a couple weeks and I'm definitely making gouchujang venison next week!
I’m making the gochujang beef myself tonight but I’m using frozen mixed vegetables just cause I like variety in my veggies
I made this (the Korean-style rice bowl) but subbed the gochujang with this sauce called Gotchu... It was the only thing I could find but it came out awesome. My son is going away for the summer and I start a WFH job on Monday so this easy, healthy recipes was perfect.
I think I watch these sometimes just to watch Ethan crush a sandwich in 6 bites like me. Makes me feel normal.
I wanted to come back to this and say I've been eating a variant of the Gochujang beef dish on repeat since this dropped. I do it as you do with peas, gochujang, and then usually go for some honey + light soy sauce and it's absolutely delicious and couldn't be easier to make!
That carbon steel grids stays on my stove too. There’s no piece of cookware that I love more. It really helps when you’re a little low on energy because it can make so much food at once.

That banana yogurt bowl is a master class in mixing textures
Just got a few made in items - honestly seems like good, high quality stuff, looking forward to cooking with it.
I would love a video on making easy lunches for a work week. Like if were to do the weekend braise, how could I easily turn that into work lunches with minimal prep when I have to be in the office with only a microwave?

This is exactly what I needed, thanks!!
yes please a whole video using Gochujang in many ways would be awesome
In addition to the usual props, I love the fact that you use a zester so that you use your cheese more of a seasoning rather than a larger sidekick role. Good Romano, parmesan and sharp provolone, even a strong cheddar can add a lot of flavor without head-butting the calorie count. I like to julienne cucumbers and have them with tomatoes as a salad. You can zest a good pecorino Romano in with the oil and vinegar to compliment the the spices you add in and have a bold but responsible side dish to go with a good meal. I'm a big boy, so I try to fill my belly on the calorically cheap when I can get away with it. Also, I finally started flattening out my chicken the way you do and wow does it cook so nice. It's such a game changer for quick meals to take to work. I wish I'd started doing it sooner. It's so much moister, plus there's so much more surface to season, so the food really comes alive. Great stuff.
love your videos dude, keep up the great work, many thanks
I appreciate this video so much.

Your channel is great. Truly helps to keep eating healthily and prods the imagination when just staring into the fridge for 30 minutes doesn't work.
As a finance channel, I use this James Clear quote constantly. I love how you've applied it to cooking, spot on!
The yogurt parfait seems a little involved. I just use plain Fage yogurt (Chobani has a weird texture), sprinkle some peanuts and granola on top, and drizzle on a bit of a syrup that pairs nicely with whatever granola I'm using. It's one of the breaktime snacks I take with me to work in the summer months. Same concept, but less fuss involved. I have several small reusable containers of different flavored syrups and granola to choose from to keep it interesting.
Love the healthy recipe content

for the gochujang beef a good substitute if you don't have any pickled ginger is to use a handful of gherkins
Your recipes are very inspiring, I've been learning a lot watching your videos! I'd love to see a video about more affordable meals you can cook for the end of the months like vegetarian options. In France for example, (idk about the other countries) meat is crazily expensive nowadays so I can't always afford buying beef or chicken. It is even more of a problem in rural areas (thanks god we have cheese here) where you always find the same ingredients and it makes you do the same meals over and over. I can share some of my ideas or tips if you want but I'm a bit running out of ideas now that I've tried every dish with potatoes and tomatoes x) (sorry btw I'm not native English 😅)
I’m definitely trying the gochujang ground beef with rice that sounds fireeee
Kimchi on top of the gochujang beef would be really good. And it's great for your gut as well!
Solid 5/5. With freeze prep & principles It's just a lot more fun to cook. ^^ I've always had the interest of how to make great food but (As we do) I've leaned way too much on time-consuming recipes I learned & loved, growing up. I think it hit me quite early on, that I don't actually know how to cook but rather learned how to follow winning recipes my parents inherited or mimic seasoning combo's such as italian herbs or other spice "sets". To sum it up I just wanted to convey that I appreciate you man. I'm having a lot more fun cooking nowadays & can wait to learn more. ^^
