Hard agree on this, cilantro is widely used in Indian cooking and we always leave it on as a garnish at the very end. I even chop up the stalk and add at the very end for the fragrance & slight herby crunch. Almost never made sense to cook it through, and even if we wanted to, we just go for a coriander powder or the whole coriander seeds roasted. Great tip, Ethan!

@dans3718 2 года назад

Since growing my own basil in the garden and using it a lot in cooking, I've come to the same conclusion. When making Thai type stir fries using lots of basil, I now add it when the stir fry is basically cooked, along with scallion greens, and toss it 10-15 seconds and serve. I am using less basil as a result because it's VERY pronounced. Don't want to completely overpower the other flavors! Also, frozen basil is way better than dried. It's not in the same class as fresh, but it's still aromatic and fresher tasting than dried by even more than the comparison from frozen to fresh. I toss whole leaves/stems into a ziploc bad and drop that in freezer. They leaves freeze individually if they aren't packed tight and I can grab out what I need and it defrosts on my cutting board in about one minute. Yeah, it's limp, but maybe the quick freezing (from not being packed) is preserving more of the aromatics. I don't recommend letting it sit long before using once defrosted though. Good video. I am looking forward to playing with more Mediterranean spices now that I have those established too. I just wish cilantro didn't up and bolt and die so fast here in panhandle Florida!

Basil, by far, is the ultimate king of fresh herbs. You have to keep it alive to keep it fresh. It's by far the highest thing on my 'grow at home list'. You can grow it almost anywhere, and use it with almost anything. I have a 50cmx3m raised bed under the kitchen window which i use exclusively just for basil. I absolutely love fresh basil. It has to be fresh, and it needs to be raw or almost raw. it's like pesto - make it fresh, use it immediately. it can't be stored for long - it loses the peak of the flavour of the basil in like, 45 minutes.

It is absolutely delicious. The one problem is that I cannot source it anywhere in my local area ( SF Bay peninsula area ) even though the Vietnamese restaurants all have it, and I cannot for the life of me get it to grow locally. Do you now anything about this? If you have not had it, you definitely need to try it because it is so much better than Italian Basil. Also it explains why they garnish the soup/pho by putting the Basil on top of it instead of cooking it in. Same with the Vietnamese spring rolls. The best food in the world.

Have you ever looked into making basil oil? The end result is not a perfect representation of fresh basil but used as a finishing oil on pastas, salads and for plating.

should also mention that if you want to maximize the basil output of your plant you need to trim it correctly. once a basil shaft gets about 3 or so leaf "tiers" high you should cut it above the second tier to use the third bunch of basil. it's a bifurcating plant meaning that if you cut the main stem it will put power into the two offshoots and create those like main stalks... which you can then cut and bifurcate.

Nice video, and I generally do like your content, but I guess here's a bit of a critique I want to share. I love that you go 'deep dive' into the science behind what makes the food, very Adam R style, but I'll be perfectly honest, when the diagrams and random text boxes (multiple of them highlighted at the same time) came up, I didn't know what I should be reading, didn't know what all these random terms were you were talking about, and after watching it once I just didn't understand anymore about what happens to basil, or what makes up their smell other than there's some sorta oily thing in there... I will say I've never really walked away from an Adam R video feeling confused about anything (I'm seriously not trying to compare your videos, I love both your channels), especially after I get thrown some fancy terms or names. I would have loved if you slowed the explanation down a bit so I could actually understand what each... Insert names of parts of basil here.... are/do. Also another thing that kinda irked me, you wanted to compare two sauces that would be identical other than one thing, but then I saw a shot of you adding a 'pinch' of salt? I know its super small, but that leaves something up to human error as a pinch can vary so much... Yet you wanted to go super deep into the science part of the basil. I woulda thought for how deep you wanted to go you would have made the comparison more equal, measuring everything so you KNOW that the point in time you added basil was the only variable. TL;DR - Didn't understand basil, pinching salt aint measurable imo. Either way, love your videos, have basically watched them all, and will continue watching them!

@swimfan752 2 года назад

Eh. Disagree in the salt pinch. Once you cook enough a pinch is pretty standard and you can adjust it with how many fingers you use.
