Nokorimono Soba Cooking Experiment - Test Kitchen

[GenesisAvalon]

I think my faaaavorite thing to do for leftovers isn't actually mine, it's from my fiancee's parents. When they've made steaks on the grill, they tend to make them en masse, and then they'll easily have one or two leftover. So, the next night, they stick some cheese and seasonings on them and broil them real quick for some simple steak ranchero with leftover pico and guacamole my fiancee makes (the family swears by it). With THOSE leftovers, they shred and make nachos the next night!

[MrJingjong]

@GenesisAvalon Thats sounds beautiful. You had me at 'steak'.

[irenenergy]

lol couldn't concentrate on what you were saying with that stalk of vege sticking out :p the whole time i was waiting for you to push it back into the bowl

[TheSeraph74]

What are the veggies you used? They look nice and convenient, but I haven't seen them before

[MrJingjong]

@TheSeraph74 I got them at the Asian grocery. It's sansai (mountain vegetable) or potherb. You can find them in the fridge section. If not, you can use whatever veg you got like spinach, frozen peas, etc.

[TheSeraph74]

@MrJingjong Thanks muchly!! I sourced some of my local online Asian grocery stores and found some sansai, and can't wait for it to arrive!! So much more interesting than 'ye olde English' veggies... thanks for the intro to some variety to my convenient veggies!

[MrJingjong]

@TheSeraph74 There are other suggestions on the blog post as to the kinds of components you can use. Be sure to check it out in the description!

[hilahcooking]

Yum! This looks so good!

[MrJingjong]

@hilahcooking It was! Keep your eye on your inbox. I got something in store that you're gonna love, if you're game.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

This looks amazing for leftovers! And I love the hand held camera style.  I usually just stir fry my leftovers and serve it on rice :)

[MrEZCooking]

Hey man! Don't get any better than that! Shows with just a little bit of stuff you can have a killer meal! Two thumbs up! If I had three they would be up!

[TheSquishyMonster]

I was hungry but now I'm starving! I'm having food jealously!! Thanks for sharing =D

[nofatmag]

inspiring...and now I'm hungry

[kikaching888]

It looks really good. I usually make fried rice with leftovers...

[yoh7351]

Your wontons looks more like shumai.

Looks good nonetheless =P

[practicalmagic9]

well, a "go to" at my home for leftover chicken (or other meat) is potpie!or meat and dumplings!easy, cuz usually we have gravy and potatoes *unless we had chicken and rice, inwhich case: chicken fried rice!:D frugality can be sooo yummay!!!

[practicalmagic9]

i have recently discovered soba noodles are my favorite!yumm!

[PlatypusGuitar]

Im big on bringing leftovers to work for my lunch but I also make an effort to give them a 2nd life so I dont throw away as much. We all waste so much its crazy!

[caramelapple098]

I have been looking for a good pho video here on youtube but no luck yet ! please do one !

[laramis]

Looks good! Leftovers are just eaten as is. I only get creative when I am bored and I will throw stuff together as a first night's dinner and have it for leftovers the next day.

[nikman2]

Genius!!! this how i make dinner all the time

[ShaunieceCooks]

It is raining here in L.A. and that meal will go real good right about now Mr. J. I like How you mention about being creative and resourceful You Just gave me and idea I am going to be more creative. Thank you so much Mr.J

[MrJingjong]

@ShaunieceCooks That's awesome, Shauniece! One thing I like to do is go to the market and buy something I never heard of before. I'll take it home, do a little research, then come up with something and see how it goes. Sometimes, it works wonderfully, sometimes it flops. The point is, you're always learning!

[hilahcooking]

@MrJingjong I love finding new, weirdo things to try!

[TheVittleVlog]

Awesome job....looks like a heck of  a meal!!

[material889]

like earned!:)

[trebornoican]

yummy left over food you have sir j.

Hey how about your new adobo recipe with a twist?

[MrJingjong]

@trebornoican Funny you mentioned that. I just finished editing my new adobo video!

[trebornoican]

@MrJingjong that's nice.. im excited to see it :)

[ochikeron]

wow! this looks nice and healthy! you know sansai ;) i love sansai soba <3

[keyblader2jerry]

lmao, this make my life worth living for, thank you MrJingJong, def going to wing a dish like this

[MrJingjong]

@keyblader2jerry Do it! Let me know how it turns out.

[OccasionalVlogger]

Did you run the egg under cold water after? Have a heck of a time peeling eggs and was wodering if it was a pain in the butt or not?

[MrJingjong]

@OccasionalVlogger Yes, always. I keep a bowl of water so I can submerge it while I peel. They don't always come out perfect, as you can see. In a restaurant, you do a dozen or so at a time and you might get 8 that will turn out. lol.

[Skalman50]

SHARE!!! <3

[iloveflavor]

Oh snap! This looks so good... my family would LOVE this! I totally do the same thing - just kinda throw everything in a pot that's in the fridge/pantry!

[12ock]

you make me hungry!!!!!

[spatz0r]

WAAAAANT

[biarnylr]

Improv dinner out of leftovers is something us mortals make all the time :P lol

Looks like a good one Jay

[Theome]

Where do you find the motivation to make your own food? I'm a grad student who is trying to improve their cooking range and ability, but find it really hard to not just resort to eating out. What keeps you motivated and in the kitchen? I know I would save a lot of money in the process!

[MrJingjong]

@Theome Being poor makes you creative and resourceful real quick. I also researched a lot of street food from other countries and looked at how really good food is made for very little money. This is exciting because you learn new skills and create things that people wouldn't otherwise think of. You just gave me a great idea for another episode, thanks! Totally giving you a shout out for this one.

[TeaIicious]

i usually take leftover veggie and meat give then a nice color in the pan whit sesame oil or butter and add spicy goodness and make them release the flavor then add whatever broth i got on hand and bring to a boil and add basmati rice and stick it in the oven 20 minute add something green.. voila i got dinner

[MrJingjong]

@TeaIicious very nice! 

[TheKitchenWitch1]

This looks absolutely spectacular! And thank you for the great tip re: the soft boiled eggs. Leftovers are a challenge for me as my family don't usually like them - if i cooked something like this, though, I think they'd change their minds!

[MrJingjong]

@TheKitchenWitch1 Thank you! The 5:10 time cimes from David Chang's Momofuku cookbook. He is a master of the soft cooked egg. lol. Funny how something so simple can be so hard to get right.

[chewbielove]

You make leftovers appetizing again~!

[shylildude]

is that spaghetti it looks like it

[MrJingjong]

@shylildude That is soba. Buckwheat noodles. I was gonna make wonton noodle, but I had these in the pantry.

[rustybobbbypins]

delicious!!! aboslutely delicious looking !!

[TheFunnyFreak]

lol Since you were just using left overs, at 0:39 you should have used that Dr. Pepper and see the outcome, just for fun. :D

[baniraxneko]
