CHINESE 5 SPICE BEEF RECIPE - SORTED

[TommyWeeks1994]

If you can't get some root ginger, what's a good substitute?

[sortedfood]

@TommyWeeks1994 Ground ginger would work!

[Hallyug]

Can I switch the beef with chicken?

[sortedfood]

@Hallyug of course you can - just make sure it's cooked properly!

[o00thunderhawk00o]

have you tried this but switching the ginger and the 5 spice? so you have a licorice rice and ginger beef?

[wazzup972]

can i leave out the ginger or substitute it?

[sortedfood]

@wazzup972 sure, if you don't like it you can leave ginger out :-D

[paulinedai]

Chinese people are buddhist, and buddhist doesn't eat beef :/

[pannalev]

@paulinedai There is about 10-20% Buddhists in China.

And there is a lot types of Buddhism. Most of them is full vegetarian bat there is few that allowed eating meat. Some kind of meat are prohibited but it's usually carnivores, horses and elephants.

I think that only in Hinduism beef is forbidden.

[Syninara]

Everyone is on about the cucumber but when that nut went to the floor, the things that were said, oh god! Even made me blush.

[lHenry97]

Have you tried putting a hole onion into the rice while its cooking? It tastes amazing!

[sortedfood]

@lHenry97 That's a great tip - really infuses the rice!

[pannalev]

@lHenry97 If you like that taste you can also add a little bit of asafoetida. Taste similar (smell weird), is very healthy and help with digesting.

[OMFGLOLBURTON]

Toss your nuts, and shave your cucumber. nuf said.

[ImABelieverForever]

HEY ! I SEE FACEBOOK ON YOUR COMPUTER 2:25

[TheLittleValentina]

OH GOD MIKE, STOP IT (i can't, i just can't)

[ArthurTong]

how is it gluten-free if you're using flour/cornstarch?

[RoosuSaysHi]

I want this in my face. Right now.

[trixohbaby]

My mind did not leave the gutter once whenever the cucumber or its shavings were involved.

[sortedfood]

@trixohbaby I have no idea what you mean...*whistle*

[trixohbaby]

@sortedfood Cute. You should apply for sainthood or something. :P

[katakchomel84]

Mmmmm chili padi...

[harmonyzc]

You should try this sauce, light soy sauce, lime, diced garlic and sliced chili padi. It makes a delicious dipping sauce.

[pplla78]

Yeah......

[AllAroundTheSun]

This looks too tasty, it looks like i might have to get off my bum and cook it for my family!

[theloyalbadger]

oh my god. mike and the cucumber. ROFL

[sortedfood]

@theloyalbadger :S

[SneakyLIKEaNinja]

Why are youtube commenters so obsessed with people's sexual orientation?

[BeccaBasilisk]

These always make me SO hungry omg!!

[Aramae100]

Quick question for Sorted: Could I try making this dish with tofu in the place of the meat? Nothing against meat of course, but I've just come up with the idea of subbing tofu for my vegetarian friends. Thanks! =)

[sortedfood]

@Aramae100 You can of course! Tofu is a great substitute for the vegetarians among us... or indeed even meat eaters for a bit of a change.

[TheRoOxyi]

are u guys gay?

[SugarChild13]

@sortedfood

Hey I was wondering if you could do a fajita type dish. Maybe something mini and I would prefer I it was steak that you used. Thanks I know it's kind of detailed for a simple request, but I was just curious

[hamificationable]

You drained rice? :O

[embemtherainbow]

I Am Trying To Persuade My Mum To Have You Cater For My 18th Birthday A Good Few Years Away, She Says On Two Conditions, That I Save All The Money, And That Barry Comes XD

[SarahSnape]

This looks amazing! I'm going to make this soon.

[marine670]

u guys gay???

[Pastelbox]

Can you guys make bibimbap or pho? c:

[aherrin10]

lmao at 2:08 he got scared XD <3

[cobainbride]

looks amazing! <3

[jemapallejos]

It seems delectable, I'm gonna cook it for my family. Thanks for your lovely sharing :)

[silverblue008]

I just realized you guys have "S" on your salt and pepper shaker. I was a bit confused because I thought it would be S and P for salt and pepper haha. But I know, now it's for "Sorted " :D

[mystifyrara]

so going to do since i've ask about asian food!!! yay!!

[lauraravioli]

I made this for the family and my mother absolutely loved the cucumber salad. she just about drank the dressing from the bowl. the best part? since i cooked she had to clean up.

oh the tables have turned. :D

[YunaTsukiyuoTenshi]

can the dressing do without the chilli?  my celliac mother who can't eat dishes which are basically eggs eg scambled, she also can't be in the same room as chilli without getting a migrane (=

[ruffad]

lol i love how you guys stare long into the camera, it's like you're looking into my soul

[goatwithgonorrhea]

Absolutely loved this! Planning on making a similar version with chicken too :)

[sortedfood]

@goatwithgonorrhea Great to hear! And chicken will work equally well! :D

[mrGraciamA]

actually, we only boil when we want porridge

otherwise, we STEAM to get soft sticky rice

[628ChopperXX]

its weird how all people tht doesn't live in asia tend to not noe how to cook rice traditionally 

[Smileyface4457]

Do you oil the pan before you put the cashews in?:o

[sortedfood]

@Smileyface4457 not with the nuts... I prefer to dry roast/toast them in the pan. Nuts have natural oils in them anyway.

[xnickjsgf]

omg barry is even more beautiful in hd

[AmeriFlipGrl]

they remind me of alvin and the chipmunks haha

[anexpatkid]

lol, Barry has a dirty mind.

;)

[thefreymeister]

hey guys, just a quick question: what are your thoughts on the various kinds of frying pans available? do you prefer SS, or anodized aluminum, or something else? thanks in advance for the response!

[nisakepli]

Ben, the 3 of you are really cuteeee! i love videos where the 3 of you come on! :D

[mussaxoxo]

Nom nom nom :D

[dpgirl97]

His name is mikeeee, he does the music, his name is mikeeeee, he does the music.

<333

[TheBestDamnThing94]

the blue thing is off your finger! :)

[orangeflavoredlove]

I love your videos... i just wish i could buy your books in the US

[abiii321]

I really hope I wasn't the only one who thought of the Michael McIntyre "5 Spice" joke!

[selgomezrocks21]

I love this recipe :)

[beffwithanf]

Does the crispy 5 spice thing work with tofu instead of beef?

[deathnotefan386]

would you just put the ginger in the same way if you cook rice in a rice cooker?

[ZeroXAgony]

omelet recipe please =]

[Wheetot]

do you guys have a google+ account?

[LiangIsland]

Hey, I am a Chinese. Just want to spot out that, the way you cook rice would leak a lot of Vitamin B. 'coz it dissolve in water, the 'rice-water' wash away this element. I suggest you better simmer the rice, in around 1:1 (by volume) of rice:water.

[theatrebabe13]

I made this tonight!! This was my dinner since my mom was out and I was alone. It was quite yummy.

[Canulys]

I challenge you to make a video that won't make me hungry

[SeansFood]

Beautiful food as always!

[mark31125]

At last...that must be tasty...a chinese sorted food

[JudieKiley]

Why are cucumbers in European countries so much longer than the ones I find at the grocery stores in America? Geez I want one of those. I love cucumber.

[TheFunismyfunction]

That was funny

[neochaos03]

Love the channel by the way and well done on the success, Do you ever worry that you will run out of popular recipes and have to make really obscure things like Badger and dandelion souffle?

[sexyzed]

Love u sorted:) ...and leave Barry alone !!!

[TheJossen]

Haha :))

00:40

[Ralucaru]

I know I always ask this, but can I replace the meet with tofu?

[Likeflames]

@Ralucaru I think you can always replace the meat with tofu. It obviously won't taste the same, but if you like tofu, then why not?

[SSJNessy]

Will using the root ginger with the rice still have the same or similar result if the rice is cooked in an automatic 'rice cooker'?

[Nakedpetals]

The guy in the blue is EFFING RUDELY ANNOYING! I'm going to stop watching these videos if he keeps appearing in them!

[jiaxiw1]

@Nakedpetals aw lets not hate on barry, he's the life of the show

[Rustyizcool]

Can you guys do a chopping tutorial? How to slice, dice and mince and short cuts for specific vegetables and meat cuts? Also how to properly sharpen a knife, if there is a trick to it, I'm not sure. It would be worlds of help for many of us viewers.

[xtraordinary92]

I'm a vegetarian and I watch all of their videos. even the ones with meat in it that i never even make lol <3

[jesslukyluk]

please please please show me how to make puff pastry from scratch! :D x

[RiennaScarletEdge]

HAHAHAHA The cucumber had me creasing up all the way through! An amazing prop LOL

[BlueRose197]

Hello (:

wondering if you guys could try a gluten free desert, or just something gluten free thats really yummy?? We tried this and it was AHH-MAZEEE_INGGGGGG! <3

my mums a cealiac (gluten intolerence) and its horrible to watch her miss out on the amazing things that we can ate but she cant . . she tries to act like its not a big deal, but you can tell she misses it . .

But anyway thanks for the videos

and for practically existing, (: keep it up guys <33

[sarcasticshutter]

Do you guys have any good Greek recipes?

[pradagirl8]

LOL I laughed so hard at the inside of the cucumber... It looks inappropriate :)

[mwegener12]

yayyyy for gluten free!

more gluten free recipes please. :)

[shambonobo]

YELLOW UKE!

[Spenceros]

"What a filthy animal". I've eaten chips I found in an abandoned Maccy D's bag on the tube platform. DEM WUNS.

[aloeart]

YAY! gluten and lactose free! and loxoloxol is right, Tamari soy sauce is the best gluten free equivalent to the more standard soy sauce

[AlmaIsTotallyApt]

Could you guys maybe make some vegetarian main dishes sometimes? I love your videos, but it sucks that I always have to adapt your recipes.

[K454R1]

@AlmaIsTotallyApt They made stuffed mushroom??

[eriktheg500]

Why is this so complicated......... I thought sorted was easy..

[megsdream]

mexican food next please???

[K454R1]

@megsdream They made burritos???

[XxdementedDOLLXx]

Yum-o!



[SilentNinja230]

you should do some spicy cashew chicken. i wen to the cheese cake factory and got some there and i have been trying to find a recipe that taste as good as there's. how ever i am not having any luck

[carolirae]

not only do all of your video have delicious recipes, but you guys are hilarious to watch! plus it helps it guys are easy on the eyes (:

[dogy9999]

Going to upload a picture soon!

[popsugartvyum]

Love this dish!

[bersabelle]

I made the cucumber salad and added red bell peppers and tomatoes, it was great! i also cut up the middle of the cucumber and just added it into the salad!

i served it along side stuffed zucchini and rice, because i had the ingredients for that and not for the 5 spice beef. think you guys should have a go at stuffed zucchini, would love to see your take on it!

[TweetySkywalker]

LOL i keep replaying Barry waving around the middle of the cucumber xD

[heelrunner]

Why do you rinse your rice once cooked? We don't do that. >_< It's better to eat sticking slightly together and steaming.

[xxtorixx93]

What is something i could make only using a microwave?

[thekilljoypotato]

Hey I have a request. In my garden we have a blackcurrant bush and a raspberry bush and I have loads of raspberries and blackcurrants frozen so could you do a dessert/sweet with them?

[bersabelle]

@thekilljoypotato they have a berry ice cream and they used frozen berries in it. i'm sure you can swap in frozen raspberries and blackcurrants!

[thekilljoypotato]

@bersabelle I thought about doing that but I don't have a blender and I don't really like ice cream but thanks for the idea :)

[sepa1989]

I don't even like beef, but this dish seems really delicious. ^^

[TheMoniqueblack16]

You should do something Mexican, but dairy free :'(

[Biscuithammerful]

Got any alternatives to cashews? my mum is allergic to them (other nuts are fine)

[Beccsz]

you should show us when you guys taste it at the end like you do with some other videos!

[xinbeichng]

@sortedfood to add a more Asian touch to it, top it with some crispy fried shallots! ;)

[InkyM4]

Nice, this looks just as delicious and much healthier than the take-out I usually get.

[K454R1]

who needs the "NextUp" or whatever, you guys are too awesome for that competition & that's why you are not in it

[XPURPLElemonadex]

Cucumber-phobia strikes again. What can I use instead of cucumber in the salad?

[nickJ5959]

can you do something irish please?

[scifiwithacupoftea]

Please can you guys do enchiladas. Love your videos.

[Chocolavanilla]

Please do a recipe for lunch box that still delicious even its cold.

Thank you ^^

(and not hamburger, i eat it every day right now T T)

[xinbeichng]

@Chocolavanilla They did it with tupper salads... :) You can check that out.

[Chocolavanilla]

@xinbeichng thanks

[fashioniztahgirl]

0:43-0:45 what's with the look?! hahahahahahaha...

[IoxoIoxoI]

I love this dish. But for those that are intolerant to gluten, you need to make sure that you bought the right kind. Most soy sauces that are available on the market are brewed using wheat. Although there are some soy sauces that do not have traces of gluten, it's best to not test your luck. Tamari soy sauce is traditionally wheat-free and I heard Kikkoman has made a soy sauce that uses rice instead of wheat.

[sortedfood]

@IoxoIoxoI spot on! On both accounts... have to be careful... but there are gluten-free varieties available. :D

[lucariomasterofaura2]

@sortedfood i use a 'life' free from one which is a low sodium one (tastes more of a dork soy)

[lucariomasterofaura2]

@lucariomasterofaura2 DARK!



[kellyannd30]

looks sooooo freaking good :) my mouth's watering...

[purplepadgy19993]

amg we habe the same hob hehe

[gretchen1009]

i love how "salted water" always sounds like "sorted water" for the first moment - at least to me it does. :)

[sortedfood]

@wakeupitsvlogtime :S



[sortedfood]

@JoeFeehanTV nah... why don't you treat mum to dinner one night?

[melindama96]

Only 1 dislike! Shows that everyone loves the Chinese!!!! :) I love my country

[Sternschwalbe]

seems really nice!

[Foifede]

Can you please make a dish using quinoa. I recently received some as a gift and I have no idea how to cook it, don't want to waste it either.

[xspxmcrxfftlx]

i really want some of that cucumber salad

ohhhh n i think i love Mike ;D



[Pedroazp]

The little midget with the beard is so stupid. (the one with the blue shirt)

[strengthofwill]

As a lazy Chinese-American college student who misses home cooking, THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY! =D

[denglijunfongyikei]

The rice looks really watery...--"

[mslittleproduction]

I like how you guys have your facebook page open in the background ;D

[sortedfood]

@mslittleproduction do you 'like' it?

[mslittleproduction]

@sortedfood Does the food you make always make my mouth water? (That would be a yes).

[carcinophobia]

It is a horrible idea to watch their videos on an empty stomach.

[TeresaK06]

@carcinophobia yes it is...but in a way it's much more fun to watch, isn't it? haha

[artichokeh34rts]

[sortedfood]

@TheChipcorn all the foodie ones are answered by Ben (me) but the rest of the crew read them too and cheap in occasionally.

[BlueStar1990]

is it possible to substitute the beef for, something like chicken? Not really a beef kinda person!

[moonlily27]

@BlueStar1990 Anythings possible.

[OrenBoder]

This reminded me of Michael McIntyre's 'Five Spice' sketch! =D

[lashondalove04]

that looks delicious!! One of these days I'm actually gonna try one a recipes

[thefridagee]

How would you do the ginger infused rice in a rice cooker ?

[MAanesen]

Awesome! I have to try this, it looks so yummy! :P

[MettePeleikis]

where can I get the Chinese spice?

[mattchewwu2]

Hot nuts and a cucumber oh my~ lol

[Emzinton]

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

@sortedfood How about some kind of asian sesame noodles recipe?

[semisarky]

i know you guys will never pick this up, but i'd LOVE to see a german dish! you do so well with the english cuisine that even i (as a non-british, frankly, most of the "traditional" british food is rather strange to foreigners :)) like it, i'm so curious how you would put a "bam" into something traditional from my country. which is equally strange to most people as british stuff, as far as i know :) greetings from berlin!

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

God damn it Mike. Every time I watch anything with you in it, for the rest of the day I'm singing HIS NAME IS MIKE, HE DOES THE MUSIC, and nooooobody gets it.........
