We need another 5 ingredient meals video. That was a lifesaver for me
Yes, please!
I love the “semi homecooked” theme here. So realistic and useful. Will make all three savoury recipes for sure! 👌🏻
Pro Home Kooks and fellow amateurs. A great time saver, whenever you make cookie dough make extra. Form and freeze the extras and whenever you want some bake or air fry (a bit of extra time from frozen) they can bake while you do other things so the time approaches zero as you multitask. This is also how I make sure I have lots of different cookies for parties or holidays. Hope someone finds this useful ...Jim Mexico
Mike, I started following your channel a little over 2 months ago and I now have joy and motivation in cooking. I was getting lazy and running out of ideas. There are 3-4 recipes I circulated through during the week and started making the snack options you gave in an older video. You don’t over complicate things and keep it simple. Love your channel and appreciate what you bring to the people. Thanks man!
Greetings from Cyprus, home of halloumi cheese. I strongly suggest grilling halloumi when you barbecue, either in thick slices or the entire block. Trust me, you won't regret it!!!
Fellow Cypriot 😊 hi! That's a great idea!!
It’s great, I agree. A similar cheese that is much more readily available in the southwest is a Mexican cheese called Panella. It fries and browns beautifully and tastes almost the same and has the same texture when cooked.
@@13Voodoobilly69 I have no doubt mate. I wish we had that cheese in Cyprus to give it a taste
Panela is the best 😊
Can confirm, grilled halloumi is delicious
I just want to say thank you and let you know how helpful your ideas are. I’m an experienced home cook, but you’ve gotten me really excited to prep sauces, make pickled veggies, make kombucha again (my scoby is just chilling in my fridge because I was tired drinking the same green tea/black tea with no other flavors), get serious about gardening, etc. You obviously put a lot of work and thought behind your videos and it’s much appreciated. I really like your approach to cooking and how it’s centered around health. You’ve given me a ton of ideas and great tips! Keep the great content coming!
for less real estate (2 burners) stick the eggs in the farro, set a six minute timer, then shock them when they come out, you can still drain excess water off the farrow and add semi soft eggs!
Wow - the premade influence food ideas are great. Wether it’s jarred sauce, or frozen veggies/rice, etc it really is a life saver:) love this new series
Love your channel. Helps me feed my family ❤
Mike, glad you're back with these types of videos. They are fantastic!
I have been following this channel for years. I love to cook and find new things to try. This was one of my favorite videos you have made! It gave me lots of inspiration because the recipes were so simple and easy to make. I will try the pizza dough flat bread tonight for dinner!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful healthy and budget friendly recipes 🎉
This was an excellent video and I really appreciate you making it. Thank you!
Loved every single dish! I love Halloumi cheese, but I never think of adding it to a salad instead of Feta! Especially after giving it a quick fry in the air frier; great idea!!! I wanna live in your kitchen lol
These are the videos I love!!!! So inspiring
I love this series !!!
i love this content for a parent with two little kids....so helpful
I love the idea of keeping some good cookie mixes around to turn out easy cookies with a few extras
i think those mushrooms may be shimejis! work with them a lot at work they’re so easy to prep and have an amazing flavor
Your channel is helping me get thru this week!
for the farro bowl eggplant situation: i highly recommend not removing the stem of the eggplant, try shaving the leafy part and use it as is. it’s the most delicious part of the eggplant and you’re not wasting food. give it a try 🌸
aren't the stems usually pretty tough (almost woody) tho
@@armukand, if I’m not mistaken, eggplant is in the nightshade family. That means it has poisons as a defense and most are in the leaves and stems…however, I would definitely rinse the mushroom stems and eat the base of those mushrooms👍. Lots of extra minerals in the base.
Woah I had no idea. Unless you are trying to poison us..
I love the first dish!!! I usually take longer but the way you did it was so fast! Thank you!!!!
YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU! ⭐ I love this type of content.
Thank you for more great quick meals! :) spinach and goat cheese omelet is probably my quickest. Bacon-wrapped cod in the air fryer is great and quick for protein too
Wow the 2nd to last recipe- the salad - great idea with the pizza dough... I have that in the freezer now! I am totally making this tomorrow!! Thank you!!!! 😊❤
I love the idea of the farro bowl. Kind of like Meditteranean stir fry. Another great thing you could do in about 10 minutes is a farro salad. Use farro as the base and just add anything else you want (any fruit, tomatoes, squash, nuts, asparagus, cheese, kale, radicchio, arugula, olives, bell peppers, onions, etc.) and toss it with your favorite vinaigrette or light dressing. Much more filling than a lettuce-based salad!
I missed this type of videos, thank you for the content!
The salad looks SO good. Love your channel.
Everything looks so delicious and nourishing! 😋
I love your videos always anticipating the next video you make.
I love your approach and recipes... You are one of my all time favorites... and you like Thai flavors as much as I do. You are just all around good.
Your videos are so helpful and amazing and inspiring . Thank you
thanks for the great videos and great recipes, can't wait to give this one a try. I've been making naan bread pizza because its quick and easy and good but it will be nice to have a few easy but tasty recipes for each type of food
This video made me realize how much I need an air fryer 😂😂 I’m definitely adding these to my rotation 👏🏽👏🏽
Always awesome to see those quick and easy recipes. They really help me throughout the week. Are you planning to make garden videos in future? Like, what you're planting during the seasons and such?
Glad to help! garden videos will certainly be sprinkled In the mix. Probably less this winter due to seasonality of the garden but the new green house is pumping greens!
Finally. I typed Best Home Chef brothers after many other searches to find you, love your channel and I can't find your brother but I will search through your catalog. Follower from like less than 1000. You guys have killed it
Love this! Thank you!
Great ideas for quick meals! Thank you! 😀😀
I decided recently to start meal prepping and I managed to get a pretty nice rice bowl recipe down in just about 40 minutes. Makes five of my plastic lunch tubs, so on a Sunday I always make sure to do it towards the evening when I'm nice and chilled out and then I've got lunch throughout the week with no worries. If you've got something like an hour a week to cook, I highly recommend giving meal prepping a go. It's a good alternative to quick 10-15 minute recipes a day.
Thanks so much for these! All the way from 🇬🇧
I also love momofuku chili crunch, so good!
I love your channel!
I make spicy miso noodle soups all the time! Love it, so easy to throw in protein/veggies.
Really good ideas! Looks delicious!
Mike, thanks for sharing, there's some good ideas in there that I'll have to try! 🙂😋
That was super helpful, now that I’ve had some treatment for endometriosis which was causing appetite problems and unpredictable distaste for some foods I can try some of these. I really want the 10 minute farro which I think as a prediabetic has good nutritional value as a carb, and I’m prepared to buy an air fryer and rewatch a lot of your content for pointers! I never replaced my broken one. And love Simple Mills! The price point is high except on Martie but there’s typically less chemicals in their ingredients so seems worth it for quality
Dude farro is one of my favorites. Love what you did with it. So chewy and dank.
Fabulous ideas here! I’d forgotten about the Flair and will investigate that again.
these videos keep me going
This is one of my fav video. I’m glad you’re posting more content. I thought you had a steel wok?
my goodness Mike, you make an intimidating asian noodle soup look so easy! :O going to add this to my meal rotation, thanks! :)
I loved the last salad. I don't have as much kitchen gear as you do, but our way of making food is very similar. I LOVE creativity and don't usually follow recipes. I just improvise with whatever I have in the fridge and that's were my most interesting dishes come from. A little touch of my native Ukranian cuisine are also useful :)
🍎 the scale up and down is amazing! Saves me doing any maths!
loved this one
Thanks a lot!😊
Great recipes! Thank you.
Those cookies look amazing!
Hi Mike you are always an inspiration for quick recipes and saving us quick and fast dinner.I would like to know the utensils which you are using in your videos all the pots and pans especially. Thank you so much for these beautiful recipes. All the way from Netherlands.
nice gives me some ideas. I like the idea of rice noodle quick soups
Love your content 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Yum!!!
This is getting bookmarked. Thank you!
Nice work, I love silken tofu in my soup.
Loved it❤❤❤❤❤
I love your green house!
The content we need 👍🏻
i think it would be super cool to do videos on what to do with basic every meats like ground pork, chicken breast and ground beef. i have a hard time coming up with things to do with them sometimes. and thats my most bought proteins. separate videos for each one so there are couple options :)
I believe when you boil the miso you kill off much of the beneficial microbes. Not sure if you care, but just FYI. Gorgeous food! Thank you so much for your work.
I wondered this as well ; I wonder what’s the best way to make miso soup
I definitely would. You could stir in a tablespoon more of miso once the broth had cooled down to get the probiotic that would have been killed in the boiling broth. I know people do this technique when making Sauerkraut and Sausage. They just add a bit more sauerkraut before serving. 🙂
YAY! I love watching ur vids and see that we use similar products while cooking. I'm definitely doing something right!
tips for storing food, cut up veggies, meats in fridge as well as freezer to maximize storage life or prevent frost bite? I saw your bacon was vacuumed sealed and I've been wondering if a vacuum sealer would be worth it.
I tought about pre coocking and pressure canning Bolongese, chilli con carne and gulash. Could save a lot of time on the week days.
It looks very appetizing, and the preparation method is clear. I can also make delicious food at home.😀😀😃
As a TJs crew member its always so funny to see our products in peoples videos haha😊
you cook noodle soup just like me! I sometimes make a broth with just water and condiments if I don't have stock. One Tbs each soy sauce and oyster sauce, splash black vinegar and splash sesame oil. I keep frozen packs of Sun brand kaedama ramen noodles just for this too. Now I am going to try a miso variation.
That TJ’s pizza dough is actually great for pizza if you shape and leave at room temp for 4-6 hours
watching this while eating a variation of the tomato coconut curry from another PHC quick meal video, like a true fangirl
Hi!^^ everything looks delicious ! The mushrooms of the noodle soup are Shimeji mushrooms though right?🤔 Enoki are very thin and white I think.
Great inspiration!! I was thinking tofu or shrimp would be good quick cooking proteins for the noodle bowls
Dude! I don't know if you do shorts but an idea for a YT short: a substitute for the instant ramen packets that will be just as delicious WITHOUT the 900 % sodium. I actually commented something similar on another foodtuber named Lisa but the truth is she cooks great and eats a ton of instant ramen (and regular and everything else) but man, you are not just a foodtuber. You are a legitimate chef, self taught and never afraid to make mistakes and your recipes are everything omg. Please please consider taking on this "challenge". You're amazing, shout out to your family. Happy Holidays and be wel
Have you got an answer.... Pardon my niceness but I love the brand mr.noodle in the style of oriental but I can never figure out how tp get that taste.
@@user-kb1he1wh9b sadly no
I'm a newbie and need tp figure out how to make an account on here. Wouldn't have noticed your reply if I hadn't clicked on the msg I sent to you by accident
@user-kb1he1wh9b aww it's OK. If you're on mobile you will just enter your Gmail or email and password and be logged in. If you are on the computer, look for where it says account settings and you should be able to change your name, photo, password and whatever else. The fact that you can leave a comment shows that you have already created an account as youtube does not allow comments from people who aren't logged in. I hope this helps and hope you have a joyous new year and God bless you.
@LisaLee__ I'm on my phone but can't see a link on the page as I'm still watching a bid from pro home.. Maybe home page?
I need some of that noodle soup, like immediately. I'm going to have to try and track down some of those mushrooms.
So Yummy ❤
You should try out some buckwheat, believe me, it is amazing. Simlpy use it instead of farro in a same bowl
Any chance you can do a video regarding wine reductions? The whys, whens and hows? That would be pretty cool
awesome vid like always. would be nice to see how much all the things you bought for the meals cost. like the chili or the farro or the instant noodles.
yeeeeeeeees im a chef and i make meals like this at home all the time !
I usually go more classic chef's salad with my loaded salad. Bacon, cheddar and boiled egg. With ranch dressing.
My daughter works at Fair Mountain Coffee in Atlantic Hightlands, NJ. They make and sell great coffee. You can buy it on line.
i love how realistic he is tbh
thanks for these. Sam Talbot created a recipe that I forget one item of yet here is most of it. Its great sweet, savory, fatty. Cold fusilli Pasta, Avocado, Bacon, cilantro, quick pickled strawberries, cilantro, & I forget the last ingredient. soooo yummy
Shout out to Sandra Lee who pioneered Semi Homemade on Food Network back in the day.
Fun fact the bottom piece of the mushrooms is called the Mycelium. It's actually the main organism and the mushrooms are the reproductive agent.
I was always taught never to boil miso paste as it alters/dulls the flavor. Usually, you bring the broth to a simmer, cut the heat, then dissolve the paste. Thoughts on letting it boil a bit vs not doing so?
generally that is suggested more to preserve the nutritional benefit from fermentation which can killed killed off at high temps. I use miso in all types of cooking methods, sometimes high heat sometimes no heat at all! It really all depends on what you're making.
You’re correct, don’t boil miso ever. I would reverse this guy’s order - cook the veg in the broth first (mushrooms should be fully cooked anyway, not “blanched”) then stir in the miso just before serving.
Great video
What cooktop is there? Do you like it? We are remodeling our kitchen and are looking at all options at this point.
Good idea to grill the halloumi in the air fryer 😊
For the miso soup you would want to add dashi powder and it will oomph that umami
what are all those other tools you use for the espresso press? where can you buy them?
Hey Mike, what is the brand of the Wok being used in mid of the video?
What kind of mushrooms are those and did you GROW THEM ? Details, please.
Have you tried growing king strapharia mushrooms in your garden?
