Hey Kenji, there's a child in the shot at 1:21, I know you tend to edit around showing what I assume are your kids. So just letting you know in case you've missed this one

Are we entirely certain it wasn’t a ghost? The “child” seemed to appear out of thin air from behind the bushes and then when Kenji looked back up just a second later, it had disappeared just as quickly. Until Kenji can prove otherwise, I’m going with a hungry ghost that shows up whenever he cooks on the Ooni, and that’s why he left it in the shot.

@@skewer45 In my subjective view it is. Other than a few subtle aromatic compounds, the only thing the banana really brings to banana bread is sugar and bulk. Sugar can be added in other forms, and Zucchini provides bulk as well as a carrot cake-like textural component.

Hey Kenji! it’s 2:04 am in NYC, now I’ve gotta go raid the fridge. I have nan breads in the freezer, but yours looks better . Cheers!

This remembers me of the traditional french "Fouée" (actually, only a little portion of french people know what they are). It's little balls of bread which are cooked in traditional bread oven, and stuffed with several different things (rillettes, cooked mushrooms, Mojette beans (white beans), nutella, and so on) kzread.info/dash/bejne/o2uDya-ukabQgrA.html

Kenji does this less than other content creators but they ALL make verbal/nonverbal cues to signify their food is delicious. Im sure it is delicious, and I do trust Kenji, but the algorithm biases content creators towards emotionally manipulative tactics whether they like it, or are even aware of it or not. I’ve seen some truly egregious shit though and I just wanna say Kenji is probably the nicest, most honest content creator I’m aware of.

I didn't hear Kenji swallow his bite from the first 5 seconds and imagined him cooking the entire time holding food in his mouth.

Roast zucchini with some salt and pepper, or fry and grill it, whatever. Go buy some naan and toast it, put some cheese and the zucchini inside, or do whatever else you want to it. Making any kind of flatbread is also stupid simple, I don't see how such a cheep and easy meal idea could be considered showboating except for the most overly-sensitive of us...

@eledania

Ай бұрын

You may notice this video is labelled differently to his other videos, it doesn't state anywhere "how to" or include "Kenji's Cooking Show", it simply states "Zucchini sandwiches." - sometimes Kenji uploads videos to simply show how he cooks casually on an everyday basis, because some of us find that entertaining/interesting. You can quite simply not watch, or just watch his instructive cooking videos, which are labelled pretty clearly. You could also quite simply ask for the ingredients for the dough.

@GorgeDuck52

Ай бұрын

If you actually watch the video, can you honestly not tell what the ingredients are just by watching what he does? There are no crazy, weird ingredients…it’s all straightforward. Dough consists of flour (probably just AP, but maybe bread flour…either would work for a simple quick leavened flatbread like this), instant yeast, buttermilk, melted butter, and salt (not shown, but I’m assuming he put a little pinch or two in). As you can see, he’s not using any measurements, just eyeballing it because, again, a quick flatbread dough like this is extremely forgiving and doesn’t need precise hydration ratios or anything. Before folding the flattened bread, he adds a little oil (any will work) to keep the two halves from sticking together as they bake. Sliced zucchini with some salt pepper, and a little oil. Real simple, and could just as easily be done under a broiler if you don’t have a pizza oven. Provolone cheese slices…but you could easily use any cheese (or none) that you prefer. That’s it. He’s not showboating, just showing people ideas for a quick and easy meal with limited ingredients. People just need to always have something to complain about or be offended by…it’s crazy.
