I gotta say Ethan, this is the best you've ever been, I think. Really love the blend of food science and cooking know-how to develop a process that is much simpler to follow and execute than traditional sauce making. Kudos to you and keep up the good work.

@EthanChlebowski 2 года назад

Thank you! It's always fun applying techniques to other dishes like this, bonus points if it's simpler too.

@floydvl9999 2 года назад

The best thing about Ethan is explaining the science behind it to help understand why things work or don't work. Means we can develop our cooking skills across the board, not just for that one dish.

@100nitrog2 Год назад

I'm guessing not a lot of people are going to see this since this is three months after this video debuted, but there is an easier way of making the starch gel. All you have to do is microwave the cornstarch and water for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it's thick and translucent (takes less than 90 seconds total). I gave it a shot after seeing Luciano Monosilio on Italia Squisita to see if I could make the process even simpler, and it actually turned out better than I could have imagined.

@fabriciofrecia5949 Год назад

Thank you so much, just tried this, actually works BUT an additional note to anyone else who tries it, wait for the gel to cool down, otherwise you risk melting the cheese and/or cooking the yokes when you put it in to mix together

@CrossxFir3 Год назад

Is that really easier? I mean all you have to do is stir a pot for a few mins

@100nitrog2 Год назад

@@CrossxFir3 A big part of the appeal for me is the scale of it. For enough sauce to serve two, you only need 5g cornstarch (about a tablespoon) and a shot glass of water. His original recipe is scaled for a restaurant service, far too much for normal use. Such a small amount would barely cover the bottom of my smallest pot. The end result is exactly the same, but it's faster, a little more hands-off, frees up a burner, and when you're done, you just pop a little bowl in the dishwasher instead of hand-washing a small pot.

It might sound as a weird way of coping, but thank you for what you do Ethan. My very close friend and collegue committed suicide in October of 2021, and one thing we always jokingly "fought" about was cooking. He was a very skilled home chef like yourself who really took his time to make good quality food, even showed pictures of it, trying to convince me to cook as I never really cared much for it, thinking "food is just food". He would enthusiastically tell me about his pasta and gnocchi dishes, how he prepared meat and how well he plated it. I remember telling him a few weeks prior his choice, that when we would get to the new office with a kitchen (Scheduled in december of 2021), we would cook there together so he could teach me. Sadly, he never made it that far. As weird as it is, since he was also a fit red-haired home chef, I use these videos as a cope. Some time ago I even bought a steel pan and some equipment. Today I will finally try and cook some of your recipes. I know you are just here to show home cook techniques and entertaining videos, but to some of us it means a lot more, so thank you and keep going.

@felixschneider1283 2 года назад

I think replacing the guanciale with chorizo could be a very fitting addition to the fiery carbonara EDIT: Did it immediately after having the idea and used the rendered chorizo fat to emulsify it with the saucebase in a waterbath like you would with a hollandaise…and boy that was a feast. Can’t move as i‘m writing the edit but it was absolutely worth it.

How much pasta did you use and for how many people did you serve it for. Did it for 1 person yesterday but was too much sauce, so I estimate 3 people should be doable.

I wanna recommend an additional, cheap and delicious recipe that goes hard in my house: butternut squash pesto with garlic and cinnamon breadcrumbs. Cut up a squash and steam it. Put in a blender with a shallot, some olive oil and some walnuts. Blend everything and add to a saucepan to let it simmer. On the side, boil some thick pasta like rigatoni. Then fry off some garlic in a pan with some butter and once it’s soft add breadcrumbs, parsley and cinnamon and nutmeg. Coat the pasta with the sauce, add a small cube of butter, then top off with the breadcrumbs. If you’re vegan you can leave it as it is, if not parmigiano reggiano is the ultimate touch. Enjoy ❤️

I broke my barriers when it comes to amount of food I can eat in a day, resulting in noticeable gains for a newbie.

@viridianloom 2 года назад

Hey Ethan, I really love videos like this where you're creating recipes that follow up on a technique established in a previous video. It goes to show how that technique is used for multiple dishes and why it's important to add it to your repertoire. Like, you aren't just showing me how to make the best version of a specific dish, you're showing me how to cook stabilized pasta sauces for any occasion by prepping me with multiple, varied examples. Reminds of me when I first started getting into cooking and I was watching so many Chef John videos, I started to pick up on certain things he'd mirror from one recipe to the next and thats the stuff that stuck with me in the kitchen (even if I never made his recipe). Speaking of which, out of all the food RU-vidrs I've seen you're right up there with Chef John in my book. He rarely collabs with anyone but it would be amazing if y'all met up and made a video together. Even if it's just to talk about food.

Guanciale (or pancetta or bacon) is basically fat and salt so you’d need to add small cubes of something crispy, salty and fatty. Fried tofu? Halloumi? Cauliflower? You’re adding chili flakes so don’t go with anything too strongly flavoured like mushrooms that might overwhelm the eggs and cheese (unless that’s the effect you’re looking for).

@hyperguy77 2 года назад

I am missing the same ingredient, but figured I could blend in a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce into the sauce mixture.

@TheAlbeghart 2 года назад

Great video! I think that if you cook the guanciale first, you can use its fat in place of the 15g of olive oil you add to the sauce. So you have 15g of fat less in your recipe, and maybe the sauce itself could be firmer at fridge temperature (I dont know how much, it has to be experimented) making it great to make something stuffed with it 😉

Fat is a taste carrier and solvant, so less fat equals less tasty dish. Also, pork fat and olive oil is two different tastes and together they add their uniqueness to the final dish.

@@zeb0ul0nyeah, but the whole point of guanciale is the amount of pork fat it carries. I think adding more fat is just overkilling, I think it's matter of balance

I’ll give a step up for the spinach sauce that I’ve coincidentally found, albeit a bit complex/containing ingredients that not everyone has. Spinach, blended almonds(yes this might sound weird but it works really well in place of the cheese while being healthier, spices of black pepper, coriander, and cardamom (all toasted then grinded if you don’t have time constraints). Olive oil stays obv, garlic can stay, then in place of lemon lime etc use pomegranate extract. Trust me this is absolutely fantastic, rich, refreshing, healthy, whatever other positive descriptors you wanna add. I realize that not everyone has cardamom and especially cardamom extract, but both of these are fantastic ingredients that you can use elsewhere you add depth and fruitiness to your dishes. Good video regardless, very compact with really easy ways to apply it to our day to day lives :)

Got to say the cornstarch tip with the sauce to control the temp is brilliant! Loving the food science mix with the cooking.

I've been trying to find a way to make an Alfredo Sauce that holds up well for reheating. I work alone on the weekends and getting something to eat, I have limited nearby restaurants to pick up something. Would using the cornstarch/gel technique work for an Alfredo Sauce also? Thanks for these wonderful videos, where you show us How to make something, but also the explanations of why it works. Especially for these types of sauces, it is critical to know how much is too much heat. Heat is hard to determine when it is less than boiling!!! Tonight, I am going to try a cheater version of an Alfredo Sauce. You seem to be enjoying your time in Paris.

@Franklinberry773 2 года назад

I believe he said in his Cacio e Pepe video that it holds up well when reheating.

@gtf234 2 года назад

It should work, alfredo sauce isn't exceptionally different than the examples here and the original caciao e pepe video. Since the other major component is butter, you could probably just omit the olive oil- that is to help the emulsion from the blending, and half of an alfredo sauce is a fat source. Or at least swap the butter with clarified butter to have pure dairy fat. Either way in theory you'd end up with something like a stable beurre monté sauce but with all the Italian cheese flavor.

Nowadays I always make Alfredo sauce by first making a béchamel sauce and add parmesan. The cornstarch method is effectively the same principle, although you do need a blender. Pure genius.

@aritin5259 2 года назад

This reminds me of Lucas Sin’s Chinese sesame noodles! I followed his recipe as usual, but kept the sauce in the fridge for future servings. Kept really well, and the flavor is an umami bomb. Must try!!

@musicdude1540 2 года назад

That has literally nothing to do with this. You just made a sauce and let it mold in the fridge and somehow relate that to this video. In fact, you posted this 45m ago so you didn't even watch this video.

@aritin5259 2 года назад

@@musicdude1540 I literally watched the whole video. You ever heard of playback speed? I simply said it reminded me of that particular recipe since he mentioned preparing the sauce in advance to save prep time for small servings. I’ve been on the lookout for a similar technique and Ethan’s provided that in this video. I’ve only been able to do it once with those sesame noodles. In fact, I don’t think you even did watch or check it out, didn’t you?

@@musicdude1540 Your word against mine. My notifications for Ethan’s videos are turned on too by the way, but of course you would have no way of knowing that. Just like the assumptions you have had to make. If I hadn’t watched the video, how would I have known what he said in it? Read the room lol.

@giuliogiannini161 Год назад

just one thing, when you use guanciale, which already is extremely fat, you don't need to use oil, just let the fat gently melt on the pan. Peace out!
