Oh man it’s the best! I never knew growing up typical southern and white tbfh. Met my now wife(Japanese) and branched out to a lot of authentic Asian places. You can find whole ass cooked duck, chicken and some places even pig. It’s phenomenal! And very cost efficient if bought raw. You cook it with the initial dish, and what’s left over(usually a lot) you scoop or remove and use in another dish. A lot of roaches have familiar flavors to one another so it only ever complements. This way you can literally make like 3 full ass meals with ONE full sized chicken/duck/ect. It’s amazing
Plus I’m not but about 145lbs but I’m fat at heart lol. I will eat and stress eat like 3 full portions a meal haha. Been the absolute biggest win of my life
The fact that she mentioned grits in this video warms my heart. Grits was a vital staple breakfast food ( it can be eaten for any meal ) for southeastern Americans during the American Civil War, Great Depression and WWII. Because corn was grown here a lot we had an abundance of it and we used it to our abilities. We made Grits, Cornbread, creamed corn, plain boiled corn topped with butter and salt. Grits can also be eaten with cheese Inside it, topped with butter or slap a fried egg that’s still runny ontop too. I personally eat it topped with a slice of butter and an egg ontop. And then I eat it with a piece of buttered toast and a few bacon slices. Grits saved a lot of from starvation during certain eras. A common breakfast back then was a bowl of grits, a biscuit if you had flour if not you had a piece of cornbread, and then some type of meat ( usually pork ) or an egg. Coffee would have been to expensive so usually you had water, milk or if you did have extra spending money maybe a soda ( Great Depression times and WWII times, soda was after A. Civil War )
@@luisnava9078 I’m actually from the south in Georgia. My grandmothers and great grandmothers taught me most of the stuff that I learned. The rest I learned in Georgia history.
The Howl's moving castle theme is so soothing. Your chicken *rice soup looks so good and loaded, usually they are watered down but I love this consistency.
A sick food I was given by my grandma was soft apples in plain white rice that was a porridge like consistency, she gave me this and it made me feel better while also having a cup of chamomile tea I miss her so much ❤️❤️
@@bunnyphoenix2992 I am a huge Miyazaki and studio Ghibli fan so I am very biased but YES. I love that movie! It's incredibly cute and the soundtrack is beautiful. I highly recommend :)
This recipe has been in my liked videos since release, saved away to make later. My family and I are on the tail end of having COVID, so I made this tonight and girl, it went down so well with everyone. In addition on my individual bowl, I drizzled on some home made chilli oil and it was a 10/10. Thanks Doobs ❤️ love your work.
I love it when you mention the "lugaw", it is also my sick food. We call it arozcaldo, a lugaw with chicken meat, chicken liver, and boil egg. I like eating it, even though I'm not sick 😂 Greetings from Philippines!
@@reijinghubbard2901 arroz caldo is good. But Goto with tripe hits different when you're drunk at 2am at a street corner with the manong giving you extra meat because he's a bro.
Okay i just made this and it is absolutely amazing. Came out exactly like the video - velvety smooth and flavorful. It's the perfect food to eat during the cold Auckland winter.
粥 (Juuk)/ Congee is a food similar to Dakjook as it is also a rice porridge, but it is usually more plain and served with 油炸鬼(Yau cha gwai)/ Chinese doughnuts. Sometimes it’s served with a side of 皮蛋 (Pei daan) century egg. All pronunciations are provided by me, a Hong Konger. It might not be accurate or official, if this misinforms you I am genuinely sorry.
When you mentioned "lugaw" I was like "that was my food when I was living in the Philippines!" I'm really happy when hearing that because I left philippines 5 years ago to live in America it was my healing food, besides on Sopas (macaroni soup), and Sinigang (A soup made with meat, fish and vegetables mixed with a tamarind or guava base).
I'm Filipino-American, and growing up, my comfort food was Lugaw! Still to this day, I make big pots of it when I want to feel cozy and replenished ^_^
Being a korean myself i have ate this dish since my childhood till now and my mom or my grandma used to make this for its really a comforting dish like i eat it when im sad, i eat it when im happy, i eat it when im sick. Its just the happiness in one bowl and it also reminds me of my grandma ❤❤
I first time ate Kanji from a Tamil household and I love how all cultures have their own variations 😂. My Sri Lankan Tamil neighbors gave it to me when I was sick, it was light, easy to eat and comforting for sore throat and best for fever.
Lugaw is my healing dish too. I used to have fever and I dont want to stand up from bed, not until my mom said theres lugaw, I was so excited then it made me not sick/healed💙💜
My mom makes the same dish for me but I always called it Lugao because my grandma taught my mom the dish ( I’m half Viet and half Filipino ) I’m so happy I found your content because the food you make brings me childhood memories!
This "kenji" is called "canja" in Brazil. We usually call it "Canja de Galinha" (galinha is "chicken"). And it's also known as healing food here, at least where I live :)
idk if it's traditional but my family's canja (we actually say canjica de galinha tho) it's made with corn! I think it's a variety or species or even just normal dehydrated corn. If I'm not mistaking it's called "canjiquinha" or something Nonetheless, pretty good sick food!
I love the way she eats. I fell in love with my middle school-high school gf for the same reason… I always loved to cook and I’d ask girls out and cook for them and they would never eat.. it always bothered me that they were so obsessed with being perceived as perfect and pretty and proper that we never had any fun… I was at school one day and saw one of the track team girls sitting on the floor having a picnic by herself eating like 3 meals worth of food… she was a horrible cook and just made a bunch of random crap to experiment and ate all of it even though it was disgusting. I literally fell in love at first sight. I didn’t even notice I was just standing there staring at her like a weirdass but she did… she just smiled and waved and offered me a strawberry milk carton.. my favorite so I held my hand out and she threw it to me. About a year and a week later she was eating a 3 course dinner I made for our one year anniversary (which in 7th grade is like a decade..) and we stayed together until I graduated early at the end of 10th grade and my cancer came back with a vengeance. We dated on and off until it was just off but remained best friends, and we still are. We’re not together anymore but shes happy and has 2 kids and I come by and cook help out around the house when I feel well enough… she needs the help because she still can’t cook for shit but still loves to eat. Point is… find a girl who knows how to eat. Girls who eat good enjoy life more and will always be worth whatever effort it takes to keep them in your life, whether it’s riding your bike a 10 mile round trip at 1am because she had a nightmare and wanted to cuddle, or battling cancer and winning because you know dying would make her sad. You do what you gotta do. Anyone out there wondering how to find love… start at the dinner table. Share a meal, it will reveal a lot about your personalities and compatibly. You might find out you’re both nibblers who eat like birds and love the same foods, or you might find out you’re crushing on an absolute MONSTER who eats cheap Hawaiian pizza or a diptard who spends so long taking photos of their food everything is cold and then they spend the whole meal making you talk to the back of a phone… pay attention to the signs and you’ll do great. But you can never go wrong with a cutie who knows how to monch noms with glee.
I’m only a high schooler where love is the scariest and most war-like thing around. I’m so glad you guys still talk, and man, you sound like one tough cookie. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I’ll make sure to take note of your advice! Stay healthy and eat good food! :)
I love what you said... idk, it just feels so genuine and heart touching... I don't know how exactly to put it in words but these kind of stories or anecdotes will stick for a long time... Thank you so much for sharing this story. I rarely come across stories like these. I hope you are well. Stay safe!
@@shawnlopez3496 Yeah, Doobydoobap is absolutely huge… she should probably stop eating so much. You do realize you can love food and not eat unhealthy? Eating food doesn’t make you fat, junk food, caloric imbalance and lack of exercise does. Eat food and then exercise. Not that difficult. That mindset of yours leads to loneliness and hypertension.
I’m currently learning merry-go-round of life on the piano and when I heard it I got excited :], love the food and it looks amazing, hope everyone’s haveing a great day!
It looks similar to "canja", it's a common food in Brazil, it also is a "heal food", we usually eat it when we are sick, or have a cold, it is very tasty and simple to make :)
It amazes me how such a vast number of cultures have similar comfort foods. Each has their own riff with some additions or subtraction of course. I'd love to try making this when the weather finally cools down.
We call this chicken & rice soup my father would make the best along with his chicken& dumplings ohhh how I miss my father 💚 I’m so thank ful for the Technique and practices he taught me 08/02/1962- 06/08/2020 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
The end product looks EXACTLY like how my family makes chicken potpie, but without the crust. It's a dish we make here in the American south all the time. Definitely recommend. Though this dish looks delicious in it's own right. lol
Here in NZ I make broth for if my kids are unwell. Water, chicken, onions, garlic, and different herbs and vegetables, simmered for hours, and they drink the broth strained in big cups. It was used in the wars for injured soldiers as well (as the body doesn’t have to expend extra energy digesting food but receives easily absorbed nutrients from the broth). As far as I know the tradition goes back hundreds of years in the West and is similar all around the world 🙏🏻
"Caldo de pollo con arroz", in México, we add the rice towards the end, once the chicken is cooked ( or add leftover rice), so it's more soupy. Veggies added are (or at least My family ) cabbage, tomato, celery, potato, chayote, carrots, zucchini... Avocado, only when serving the soup, maybe some panela chesse (does not melt)
In India we actually call it 'sweet corn chicken soup' and it is made EXACTLY like this but with sweet corn as a plus and when I tell you that sweet corn makes this dish I MEAN IT!! Next time you try this I would love for you to add some sweet corn into your mix
Asian's food (and when I say it I mean, the Continent and not an isolated country only) it's the most tasty and delicious I have ever had the pleasure to taste!!! ✨✨✨🙏🏾
Were not asian but our soup looks like this exactly, the one my mother always used to make when I was little. Gosh. You and your content are incredibly calming.
For when I was sick my mom would make a similar dish as well and I gotta say it's so filling and warm it's really good, she would also usually make caldo de conchas or caldo de res/pollo when I was sick it's the basic soup I would always get when I was sick or just in colder weather along with coffee or if I wasn't feeling well an herbal tea or just hot water with or without honey. I love the warm feeling it gives and it gives the same feel as if drinking hot chocolate with a warm blanket, with the stuff my mom would make it would never get tiring b/c of the fact that she didn't know much about cooking but my aunts from my dad side would teach her some Guatemalan recipes and my babysitter (my best friend mom) would teach her some Mexican recipes so I grew up with a mix of her Salvadoran culture along with Mexican and Guatemalan culture.
I'm from Kerala and we also have the same thing but here "kanji" Is just boiled rice with water. We preferably use rice with bran. But we eat it with a lot of side dishes that can extend to literally anything. A basic combination is with curd and green chilli. And we have like different varieties of it made with different varieties of rice. During the last month of the Malayalam calendar "karkidakam" we make a "karkidaka kanji" with a lot of medicinal herbs and stuff. I'm not used to it. But my grandma likes it. It's based on some Ayurvedic concepts. Nowadays people don't really follow this and everything. But it's not forgotten.
Made it about 2 hrs after seeing this vid :) it turned out super nice, v nostalgic. It made me so happy 😭 definitely made nurtured my soul. Thank you doobee
