In Japan, they will feed the chickens paprika to make the yolks redder. But also in Japan, they will sometimes go to some effort to feed the chickens good seeds and grains to improve the quality of the eggs, but not always. Premium eggs are more expensive, of course. I do not know about the nutritional benefit of using paprika. I am sure good seeds and grains will add a nutritional benefit to the eggs.

I appreciate it SO much when TV chefs make a recipe and go "oh, but you can just use a skillet. oh, but you can use regular onion too." Kenji's approach to food gives me a huge boost of confidence in the kitchen. I remember him saying in another video: "Some people would say it's not 'authentic'. I say I -don't care-. It tastes good." And that's a mood.

He has a video for it

Can you do a video about some of your hygiene habits? Equally interesting, low effort option: keep filming yourself after you finish cooking. Eating, and then full clean up Do you keep the egg shells in the box until they're all gone? How frequently do you wash the towels? Do you have separate cutting boards for meats and non meats? When did you learn about the table top trashcan? I found out this was convenient one summer while cooking at home and just used a yogurt container as a trashcan. How frequently do you clean your kitchen counter tops? You seem to use a loooooot of cooking utensils /containers compared to what I'm used to. Do you clean these immediately after cooking? Is it ever annoying? Etcetc. Maybe you can do a Q&A for these kinds of questions if you have the time!

There’s a restaurant in northern Okinawa called Ocean, it made the best Oyakodon and I lived off of it while I was there.

Shichimi : In long-established preparations: red peppers, hemp seeds, and black sesame seeds are common, in addition to red peppers, poppy seeds, aonori-a kind of dried seaweed, dried orange/tangerine peel and/or ginger are used, as well as white sesame seeds, toasted/roasted spicy red peppers. Japanese green Sichuan peppers called sansho are often used in the Kyoto/Osaka area. Black pepper is used sometimes. In different areas dried Shiso seeds or leaves are added. Usually there are just 7 spices but sometimes 10 spices are used, sometimes only black spices are used. There are all kinds of local variations.

I love how optimized your kitchen is. Everything seems to be right where you need it. Have you ever considered using magnets instead of a spoon to hold your dish cabinet closed?

i must admit these are the most relaxing and satisfying home cooking videos i ever watched. keep it up.

Your content relaxes me so much! Thank you, and please keep doing what you do!

Thanks for helping me spend some more money chef. I've already purchased so many ingredients and gadgets due to watching you and your Channel. And I just have one thing to say. I have zero regrets. My family thanks me every time. And they still thank me every year, when I make your prime rib.

My heart rate increased when you said menemen and showed a pide on the counter.

I made this with only tamari, mirin, and soy sauce and it turned out really good. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this was and how good it tasted. That sweet simmer sauce went so well with the eggs. Next time I escape quarantine I'll get some sake and tobiko.

I just made this tonight and it is off-the-charts delicious. I will be making this regularly from now on.
