 Welcome everybody to another episode of the hot pot boys. We got Nellie Nell Chan We got David and Andrew from the Fung Brothers today. We are eating pepper lunch grill your own teppanyaki You know what? I'm super excited about the spot We have the Sino Soul series where we delve into provincial Chinese cuisines This is the very first episode of the modern Asian series For example the very first spot that we're going to be covering is pepper lunch That lunch is a chain from Tokyo and got popular all over Asia and now they're moving to America Finally we are getting the direct port from Tokyo fast-stake grill your own meats in Japan They love the sizzling hot plate steak, and I'm not saying it's traditional. They're staying with it Yo, there's something about grilling your own meats in front of you just like Korean barbecue or your own personal Teppanyaki grill right here. All right, so we are gonna be trying 12 different things here at pepper lunch I'm ready to go to Tokyo. Hop Hop boys. Let's go. Mix it. Who knows how to mix it? All right, you guys you spread it first I got the kimchi beef. This is one of the most popular ones The key is like the electromagnetic oven this guy invented the Electromagnetic oven to heat these pans up to keep your meal hot for 20 minutes. I watched some videos online About how to flip it now this one. This is the hamburger steak. I'm gonna flip this Like using chopsticks. I think it breaks up the rice easier All right, you guys let's all try the kimchi first. All right, this is the kimchi cheese That's the thing about having your own grill is that you know the food is piping hot I think the only worry that you got to think about is over cooking your meat, but this right here So it's called pepper lunch because they have lunch prices all day and the main seasoning for the meat is pepper The flavors here are not too crazy salt and pepper butter Some margarine they keep it simple It's kind of similar to like your kimchi fried rice in a sense, but a lot cheesier. Yeah, okay So this is the jumbo pepper rice. This one is actually a lot more peppery. This is good This has a much stronger pepper flavor. Yeah, it does so this sauce that you have here on the table is the honey soy sauce Okay, so that's gonna be like a sweet soy sauce and then this one is your garlic soy sauce I like the strong pepper flavor the way they made it right here for the jumbo beef I give it a 4.5 out of 5. This is a curry hamburger steak hamburger steak If you guys know is a very popular thing in Asia Japanese love it actually Koreans eat some version of it curry Hamburg Do you guys agree with me that all three of these tasted wild? Yeah, mm-hmm of the first round. I still think the jumbo beef was the best one This is number one just because this almost had too much cheese. I almost got to go with one two three My number one I'm gonna go with the jumbo slice too. Okay second I'm gonna have to go with the kimchi the kimchi flavor is this really really pop it one two three for me easy boom The kimchi had more punch and to be honest. I'm not a huge fan of Hamburg steak We got to do this handle this steak the steaks came in hot you can easily overcook your steak But here's how you don't bread the butter on top Nelson. I'm going to hurry. No, it's exciting. It's only a matter of time You can't over cook it. Okay. Okay. Now after you spread the butter on top. Okay, so flip each day You know you guys I've got the wild angus Wow It's snowing you don't want it to cook anymore. Then you put the steak onto the veggies Yeah, so you are creating a layer on top of your grill Nelson right now See those to it right right on top right on the carrot. You have the rib eye here. I'll give you the meatiest piece Pause rib eye. No sauce. No sauce But then a good job. No get the rib eye, but don't cook it that much. Okay this though Look at that grill mark bro. That's real. That's a real grill mark New York strip Look at my piece right here. You still got a little red in the middle strong steak beefy flavor A lot more chewy more like the steak that you might cook at home Or that is when you want to feel like a carnivore Look at that. Wow, this is a big piece Technically should be the chewy is wild angus chuck. I love the amount of David the garlic flakes on there. It smells good Okay, great flavor, but a little chewy. You're gonna have to bust out the knife for this one All right guys. This was the steak round We had rib eye. We had new york. We had chuck. I think the best slice Of this chuck was better than the best slice of this new york strip one two three I'm gonna go with rib eye New york and the chuck. I'm gonna go with the new york number one. Wow Because I thought I had the most pure steak flavor to me. I'm gonna go one two three If you guys want the easy choice for yourself go with the rib eye and just make sure you don't over cook If you're eating Korean barbecue and you do not have a good cooker on your team and you just have eaters Your team will fail. It's kind of like an individual hot pot where you got to watch over your stuff You are responsible. So anybody who says, oh, I don't like pepper lunch because I don't like cooking my own food You are so lazy Shame on you shame on you We have a guest judge kirsten here. You're gonna help us judge this round Okay, okay Okay, that was the kale spinach pasta Seafood cream pasta. Okay. Oh man. They're flying in. It's getting a little crazy. I've had for lunch right now I put it on Flip the camera over here. What are we doing? David? Yo, how do I cook this? Yo, we need spoons. Hold up We don't have the tools. Nobody gave us the tools David David, I believe in you We're winning. We're winning. Do the walk work. Do the walk work We're right now. Pepper lunches. We're not just open. I've actually never seen them like Make their boom I don't know how I feel right now Kirsten was walking on the street kirsten you passed by us while filming and I was like, yo Kirsten always wanted to get you in the video. Get in the video Tell me kirsten again Kirsten. Yes, Andrea Shouts. Okay, so I do like how the mushroom it is grilled on one side. I got a piece of salmon There's scallops salmon and mushrooms in this. All right guys seafood cream pasta All up in this She's an eater So what I liked about the noodles was that that part of them was browned and a little bit crispy on some of the sides I actually like the cream sauce a lot. I don't like it was a very very light Afraid of white sauce these japanese pasta dishes are always kind of like It's like italian food for people who are not trying to get the authentic italian food. Let me review this one for y'all Okay, this seafood as creamy as pasta got salmon scallops mushroom and shrimp inside a cream sauce Let me tell y'all when you eat the pasta it is all flavored throughout. It is so yummy It's just the right amount of like creamy buttery cheesy smoothness in there So that's how this one tastes it tastes delicious a 10 out of 10 Welcome to He's coming around. Oh wait, this is the right order. Razzie like all this Just look at the mint basil. Let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on guys This is the kale and mushroom cream pasta. We're gonna try this right now kale spinach pasta That's actually really good. Oh, there's not a lot of flavor but the flavor that it did have It almost tasted it almost tasted like a pesto. I think it tastes more fresh Than um the other pasta than the seafood one. There's it's more like simple flavors like the kale and the spinach So this is more milder pasta All right international citizens, please please. All right, this is the seafood. What is this people are right seafood rice I taste that soy sauce. I taste that butter. Y'all put a lot of butter in here because I taste it I'm from Georgia. I know what butter tastes like. I think that this is really one of the most fun lunch experiences that I've had in several months I think as technology moves forward and everybody is on their phones As people are on their phones more and more and having less human to human interactions I think stuff like this is important because it causes a ping in an interaction with each other between the seafood cream pasta the kale The kale spinach pasta with no meat and then the seafood rice. What are you going with for your top two? Seafood pasta kale pasta seafood rice. Did you guys say hi to a favorite? Kirsten Kirsten is a celebrity Anyways, okay, we have our last round Which is we're eating our salmon filet. We have our beef right here and then we have our actual steak salad All right in terms of what won out I think you got to go for your money with the jumbo pepper rice My favorite overall if I had to recommend you get one thing Jumbo pepper rice because that is like the iconic dish that really makes pepper lunch pepper lunch I'm going with jumbo rice steak and then the kale is so when I was living in japan I actually came to pepper lunch to eat the humbug steak. We're editing in english right there Sometimes y'all got editing skills and stuff and I know that y'all gonna insert it right here Well, what's it like to see modern chains from your time you were living in japan and see it come to america? You know one thing I realize is that like for some of the more traditional food It's almost unlikely that it's gonna be elevated to a point where the younger generation wants to be a part of it I know some people are like it make a traditional or nothing at all and I'm like no guys It's all good. Like, you know, this is a modern chain from japan And it's finally porting itself to the u.s with a few slight changes Well, I think even spots like this are just expanding the definition of what is asian food You're seeing a steak a ribeye steak. You're like, oh, that's not really asian Well, this is like an asian way of cooking it from asia This was a dope first episode for the first episode of the modern asian series for hot pot boys Thank you kirstin for joining us All right, everybody.
