woah I didn't know this until now, what about pepper?

Yeah, they're maple chipotle short ribs. I think they're great - haven't found them salty but I tend to like my meat a bit saltier than most.

Never add salt after the fact except maybe fries

Asian people don’t have salt shakers because they are using a tablespoon of MSG in its place? Lol

Also true lol

Awwww yehhhhj

It’s a tad bit salty but not too too bad. Goes well with rice and Costco kimchi.

Downtown Costco has it today. Has lots.

You just pan fry it?

yeah, no need for oil or anything. Just throw it in the pan at high heat and cook till its a bit brown.

Probably want to preheat your pan so that you dont overcook the beef, otherwise it'll become a bit tough.

Unless it’s duck breast, always preheat your pan to cook proteins.

Picked this up while at the Bellingham Costco. It was on sale. Really good stuff. Made in Taiwan. Are they available up here?

LOL at the review. White chick has no idea............. mochi is something most white people can't handle.

Yes they have it in Canada. I didn’t like it though. Too sweet for me

butt, but, but was the texture okay?

Nah. Just like any preserved mochi, it’s dry, taste like a ducked up taffy, and lack that chewy mouth feel of a good fresh mochi.

Durian mochi is my favourite and this place in Richmond is the best place ever. Called Car dessert

I'll have to make mochi for you from scratch. Recipe passed down for generations.

I also make special usagi manju. I used to work at a Japanese Food Centre in my youth. Trained with the best. Boss sponsored chefs from Japan way back in the 70's. Now they own their own restaurants in the GVRD.

Guarantee this is you beating your …. Uhhh rice

Nope. Used a huge machine that lifted a heavy ram that was thrown up into the air and came down with great force. Large basin made of solid granite the size of that shown in the video. Came down once every 2 seconds. It was very consistent. Timing was important. Otherwise your hand would get crushed. Had to ensure the mochigome got turned into the centre each shot. If not, the ram would possibly damage the granite bowl or the ram itself. Battering ram was solid metal with a wooden shell. Hard to explain without a drawing. Don't know what happened to that machine. It was brought over from Japan by boss. Come New Years, I was relied upon to make the mochi. With the invention of the automatic rice cooker with kneading capability, people could make the stuff at home. Funny thing is, I have my mom's old National Mochi Making Machine. Works to this day.

BTW, dude in video is slapping the mochi with lots of shouting, but not really turning it that often. Pretty awesome show he puts on. He does put water on the mochi just the right amount. Also very important. Especially when you make Kagami Mochi. Too much water and in a day or so gets moldy. Too little water and the mochi starts to crack over time. Then there are the other types of mochi, like komochi and noshi mochi, just to name a few. Mochi for manju is made from rice flour (mochiko). Manju is filled with anko (bean paste) Koshi-an, stubu-an in both black and white variety........ kuro-an and shiro-an. Sakura manju is probably the neatest looking manju. Made to look like sakura. Pink kawa with mochi gome not pounded all the way, filled with bean paste and wrapped in green leaves. Kuri manju, Mikasa Manju, etc. Made 'em all.

I also made sushi, my specialty being the futomaki. Back then the ingredients were top notch. Even used unagi straight from Japan. I don't think people use it that much, since it is so expensive. I remember making the gu from scratch. Scrubbing the bleach off the gourd strips, cooking the shiitake, etc.

You’re like the most interesting old man I’ve ever digitally met. For sure need to go dim sum with you and listen to some of your cool stories. I got so many questions !!

Dim sum with MG1? I'm down

I've met MG1 before and he's even better in person. I'm so down for a dim Sum meet!!

I'll only agree if Flip comes out.

Of the closet?

Brought a packet of the Costco bulgogi to make for the buds on the first night at the cabin over the long weekend.

9/10 - Very good, would buy again for sure. I doped it up a bit with some added Coca-Cola, sesame oil, and chili oil.

If you were interested, all you had to do was ask.
