I Made The Cheapest Noodle Dish Ever (8 Ways) 

Listening to the monologue is "teeth-grindingly" irritating, with its rapid-fire delivery. The Japanese commercial that follows , is even WORSE!

Then don't ​@@kendallwalls6695

​@@kendallwalls6695blud then stop watching😂

I agree entirely. For how much extra work it would take to break them down one by one like this it is a truly impressive dedication to quality content. Its very much appreciated and makes it so much easier and faster to decide what could be a viable option as a meal I'd actually get to make. Great job Josh. I hope more are to come like this.

​@@kendallwalls6695Japanese commercial? wtf are you talking about

Love the cost breakdown! Keep that in the format!

You’re a real one 🫡

😂😂😂

👍🏻

no clue why joshua himself doesnt just use the chapters feature on youtube, videos like this couldnt be more perfect for it. thanks for doing his work for him!

Strangely enough, in my country boneless skinless chicken breast is cheaper than boneless skinless thighs. Like, up to 50% cheaper.

Chicken thighs are going up in price now that people aren't sleeping on them anymore

​@alexburgdorf419 for real, back when I actually went grocery shopping a lot (I work at a food bank, so a lot of free food) I'd get meat at a meat market and thighs were 1.39/lb and breast was 1.59/lb. Last time I saw, their prices were 2.50/lb for breast and almost 4 for thighs

​@@Flarizel boneless, skinless chicken breast should be the cheapest meat. Even if you manage to cook it on spot it's about as exciting as unseasoned tofu. And it's actually rare to catch that sweet spot between salmonella nursery and compacted dust.

@@inkenhafner7187 I'm a very picky eater, who dislikes any sort of connective tissue in my meat. So I'm more of a breast guy. But for ground chicken I go thighs only.

@SteveSherman-ij5gm It's more that you're buying these staples often in bulk rather than that they are overall cheap. Like for example a jar or can of something might last a while but that doesn't mean it's not expensive in some areas.

​@SteveSherman-ij5gm Bruh I'm from the US, I actually passed high school with honors unlike you, and I'm currently dealing with being on food stamps. Often even cheap shit like canned beans is $3+ here and a bag of rice enough to last the month is $20+ It's called living in a fucking food desert, asshat.

Holy basil is a fantastic mood stabilizer too

Basil is so easy to grow! So fun!

I love your vibe

HEB Pog

On my way to heb right now

in fried rice too!!

What would the price breakdown look for y’all? Do you have to special order anything?

I know in my head I double or tripled it. Canadian here.

The butter price is off by a dollar. Same with the noodles.

Also Canadian. Add at least a dollar to everything.. Overall cost per serving would be about 50% more.

@@Stoudy2ayyyy I’m Canadian tooo

I loved that too!!! And I appreciate how informative he was with how the price can differ in certain aspects

I agree ♥️ it makes making any of these way more accessible

I love too🤌

She's right. All the "but cheaper" videos of the past were only for the part of the ingredients used. This is far more realistic and I enjoy it more for that reason.

Note in my comment 'above' I suggest a half.his.price amazon bonito flakes: 40% larger than the amazon best seller and $1 more at $13.90,

or the "how to make dinner for a week for $5!" and its just $300 worth of ingredients divided by meals for the week lmao

@@Lagaholic “so this step is completely optional but I’m putting on some caviar” “so I spent 80 hours in the rainforest tracking down and making this special paste that you can’t buy anywhere on the internet and this will be the main ingredient in our dish”

@@Lagaholic thats how cooking usually works, when do you not buy food for the week?

@@matthewplunkett7720 That's not what he does though... it's usually just $300 worth of steak divided by meals for the week. So it's not really a "$5 meal"

I feel ya, dude, glad to see something like this, feels like it's been ages

100% agree. If you brown the butter before adding the other ingredients it takes it to a whole new level with minimal effort.

That sounds delicious!

​@SteveSherman-ij5gmno they're not, Spätzle are different. That's like saying penne and spaghetti are the same... Shape does a lot to pasta also Spätzle are more chewy and doughy than you classic egg noodles. But I have to say, that dish would also of course work with them and probably be better (in my opinion for those simple things where the noodle is more the star, Spätzle are better)

Not to mention the condescending remarks

​. The condescending tone is intentional. His smart ass attitude is part of the charm

@@sulphuuurthen stop watching

​@@zachgouldrup7962if you dont like his opinion then stop commenting

@@AllMyGabensthat’s the point of commenting

That is probably the most american thing i have ever read

Horrible to view at once though

ok maybe not “traditionally” but u can definitely tell u did research lmao

@SteveSherman-ij5gm Price per serving costings also vary wildly by location and time. I find total cost to be the less misleading of the two when it comes to home cooking (obviously it's going to be different in professional kitchens). As a home cook, there's nothing more frustrating than, for example, videos that draw you in with click bait headlines touting $1 meals that turn out to only be $1 if you buy ingredients in bulk and cook enough portions for 9 people. I have to work back from the 'price per serving' to the 'total cost in my area', work out how many portions those total ingredients will make, factor in whether the extra ingredients/meals can be frozen/are shelf stable/or are just wasted, then go back and figure out what it will actually cost me per serving, including all the wastage.

Pasta for the rats in your walls!

its always been cheaper to EAT AT HOME

I miss gas.

you can totally make it in a pan or skillet, you just wont get wok hey

@@SophiaLilithUwUyou won’t really get wok hei with a normal gas top anyway. You need many more BTUs that most can produce. An electric top and a blow torch can produce similar wok wei to an extent, I’m pretty sure Kenji has covered it before.

Kinda have to agree, unless you're slapping in a lot of cheese, meat or bacon in there, anything under 100g is too little

Then spend a little more. Noodles are cheap AF. Adults find solutions, not criticism. Stupid hapless children, only point out problems.

Imagine an adult who can't fathom to increase the portion. Noodles are cheap. Typical man child, cannot solve their own criticism .😂

That’s a portion

100 grams of spaghetti with just a little tomato sauce mixed with it is a portion. If you start to add things to it then you're gonna have less pasta per portion. So yeah idk what kinda portions 225g is. Unless it has a bunch of stuff with it Edit: tbf the first dish is using butter, that's a lot of calories right there

eh, I disagree

Keep crying

Just dont watch then🤦🏽‍♂️

What popping noise lol?

Why are these bots or npc liking this comment and why am I writing this comment

Whining about sounds on a video, are you 5 years old?

It’s such a shit editing style.

I wish i was 5. Life would be a lot easier I tell you what. But I think bringing up small criticisms can help people improve. Sad to see insults for it, though. Hope you feel better bud!

​@Mochiboba90 complaining about someone's totally reasonable comment. What are you, drunk? My God, man, it's Sunday Morning!

I agree with the whiney guy. This channel is really good content, it doesn't need all the post-production razzle-dazzle.

Congratulations 🎉
