Hello, everybody!
Welcome back to Tokyo Creative!
I’m your host, Emma and today I’m here with Kai!
Hi guys!
Kai is known as KojiMochi on the internet
If you haven't seen him, he does amazing cooking videos, anime cuisine
It's very cool. Check him out
But today we're going to be versing each other in a cooking challenge
You're the cook, though?
I don't really cook that much - I am not a trained professional
Let me just get that out of the way
But your videos, like the food looks so good
It's because I have unlimited tries
It's the first time I'm doing this like
One shot. One kill. Okay.
And I'm going to kill...
you.... You’re gonna kill me?!
I am so excited to cook with Emma today - Yeah, me too
So we're going to have a bunch of mystery ingredients
We don't know what they are and we're going to be given a time limit
We're gonna Vs each other - Sarah is going to be our wonderful judge
She's behind the camera looking so wonderful today
she looks so wonderful today
Oh, thank you. But we gotta get into this
So we have two mystery boxes and you have to cook
something Japanese inspired with these ingredients
You have to use at least four
And we also have extra mystery items where you have to answer a quiz question
Okay
And you will do a rock, paper, scissors, and then proceed with the quiz
Okay
So if we get a quiz question right, then we get a mystery
extra item - You can get two items What happens if we get it wrong?
You get nothing, you’re stuck with the basic mystery items
And I'm hungry!
I haven't eaten breakfast
Let me feed you, baby
And there’s a batsu game (forfeit) If you guys lose - Great...
So good, that basically, if you don't know what “batsu game” means,
it means bad, bad thing
And then also
I'm going to be judging you guys on flavor presentation and creativity
So good luck
You remember that?
Got it!
All right
Look at your mystery boxes
My gosh!
Wait do you have the same stuff?
I think so
Bread! I love bread!
A whole onion
Oh - I’m an idiot sandwich!
Onion. Three eggs
Capsicum - Capsicum...? - This is very limited
How is it Japanese? This is not a...
Sorry, there’s
Oh - two more mystery things
Here!
The white ones - oh there’s more? Rice...
Wait, this is a pepper
Sorry, in Australia we call these capsicums - That's right!
You told me about this
This is a red pepper!
Pepper and...
chicken?
Oh, my God!
Oh, it's suctioned closed
Oh, chicken
Mmm chicken
Okay, this is very limited I think because the seasonings that we have are mirin
Oil, salt, sugar...
There’s no soy sauce - And we're supposed to make something Japanese
Yeah, you also have 15 minutes to cook something with this
Let's go on to the quissssssssss- Quiz question.
All right janken time! (rock, paper, scissors)
What is this?!- Go do scissors, paper, rock!
DAMN IT!
Everyone always does scissors first
I'm sorry - First question for a chance to win two mystery items
I'm screwed
How tall is Mount Fuji in meters?
I don’t freakin’ know!
I'm gonna go for...
C...
Wrong.
Okay. That's
How many islands does Japan have in total?
I thought there were like 4...?
It's going to be B...
Yes!
WHAAAAAAAAAT?! [Emma bursts a blood vessl]
Oh, you are kidding me!
When in doubt, go with B - What the hell?!
Oh my God, come on!
So I picked cheese and soy sauce
I'm very confident now that I have these two items
All right, you guys have 2 minutes of planning time starting NOW
Hey, Google,
what can I do with...
Are there anymore quiz questions as we go?
That was it?!
So ketchup’s right there and I can never forking touch it?!
Can I switch? Switch? Yeah. Okay
I mean, go for ketchup
Why would you do- okay, that’s fine... [wooosah]
Okay.
Um hmm. Oh.
WHAT’S THE BREAD FOR?!
Time's up!
I didn't even search anything - Cooking time starts now!
15 minutes!
Cutting while sitting down feels wrong
All right. We just start?
[Shah - You’re on 14 minutes now] - What?!
That's insane
This is insane
Yo this knife lol
it's time to do oyakodon
How about you Kai? What are you thinking of doing?
I want to make a super sexy fried rice
I was originally like, “oh, I’ll do fried rice”, but I’m glad I changed
They’re both Asian, I mean, oyakodon is more Japanese
Fried rice - How you gonna make that Japanese?
It's gonna look Japanese - Lovely!
And it's going to be made by me...
Who is Japanese
That's pretty good chopping skills
Like what the hell?!
I'm like cooking in the dark here
Oh my gosh
you know,
I would give myself
70% confidence
Wow. That’s high - Yeah.
Oh, I'm like,
like actually 50%.
I'm not super confident
because actually I've seen Kai cook, I’ve seen the things he can cook
And I'm like,
I feel like my passion for cooking has been kind of low these days
I've just been doing like premade things
I've got other focuses in life, and now I'm like, Oh no, I'm outta practice
I’ve forgotten how to cook
Everything smells really good!
It’s just onion...
Onion always smells- Wow!
Literally when I started using onions - All right.
Okay. Sarah...
how much do you want for the soy sauce?
All right, how about; can you answer a question:
First time we met...? Wait, it was.
It was at the TC office!
The old studio?
Yeah, it was just...
It was. Yeah, it was... [Emma struggling]
It was it the old studio?
The onions, like, just started hitting my eyes
You are correct!
You can have the soy sauce!
Oh, my God
Thank you - What?!
Yes! - What?!
Yeah, we go way back
You guys have less than 10 minutes - Are you serious?!
Also, this is my emotions right now
Wait a second...
I hope that the electricity is okay in this building - I don’t know how to use this
Kai can figure that out while I do this
and he can tell me how to do it
8 minutes 50 seconds!
I just want to make sure it cooks Are you doing cheesy rice?
I’m like thinking, huh?
I believed that for so long
I can tell you it already smells really great
The onion and chicken, the whole room, very aromatic
Can I try something just for the camera?
Oh, no...
Oh, fork!
You did it!
You actually did it!
Kai’s going in for it now
Oh, I got egg on my clothes
what the fork?!
You practiced so many times for this day - Yeah
Basically did it!
serious issues
Oh my God
It's okay I'm gonna to get up and wash my hands-
5 minutes!
What the fork?!
5 minutes?!
Oh, my God
Also, if you were wondering we do know how tall Mount Fuji is...
Okay
The answer is- I DON’T CARE!
Kai Looks very relaxed right now
Just a...
What day- What day is it today?
What day is it today?
Friday
It's just another Friday for me
My mom used to make this for me
That is not a lie
I don't know if it's this exact same thing, but we'll try to see
if we can come close to my mother's recipe
The most important bit is love
You gotta put...
3 minutes 30 seconds- This is ridiculous!
How am I supposed to- how do you- how do you put the eggs on top?
Oh, this is actually going to look horrific if I do it that way
Not bad
Not bad at all man! [surprise British accent]
A little bit more
Less than 3 minutes
Are you joking? Are you? You joking?!
You joking?!
[Inaudible English in British accent]
It's like when I panic,
I have a British accent
When I start to panic
On a plate or bowl?
I guess I'll use a plate
I need a bowl to serve it
Jeeeeeez
Oh no it’s burning!
I need to wash this
Because I'm like, maybe if I-
2 minutes- 2 minutes?!
I haven't tasted this the whole time
I've never made oyakodon before
Come on. Heat up. Heat up where’s the heat!?
Bring the heat!
Come on. Where'd you go?
Hurry up
Where's the heat!?
Where is it?
Why?
It's like we're both standing now lol
Where is it?
Come on, come on, come on
This is not how you’re supposed to make-
Oh, God
Oh, no, no
I would like to announce that there is
exactly 54 seconds- Oh my God
Go, Go!
Emma, that looks awful lol
I know, I know
Oh, oh, oh
It's really bad. I'm so sorry about this
Where's the spatula?
I don't know. I need it, though
Here, you have it
Come on!
Oh, God, this is a mess
This little scrambled egg mix
You have 20 seconds remaining on the clock
This is not oyakodon- maybe if I spread it out now
Wait don’t break that plate
Time’s up - you have to remove your hands
In overtime here!
All right. Oh, my God!
Kai how did you manage that?
Holy shirt, guys
I would like it if we did not look at this...
It’s so ugly
I just blacked out and woke up. Like the last 10 minutes just vanished
FORRRRKKK!
It looks so bad
The eggs are like this mustard brown
DON’T TAKE A PICTURE!!!
Kai, what have you made for me today?
So, today I've prepared for you a tomato
based fried rice
that has red peppers and onion
and resting on top a beautiful,
lovely, pillowy egg omelet
Presentation is good
I give that that- It's excellent
Especially with the time crush and that extra egg on top
That was really creative
I like this
I would not call this a fried rice
I would call it Omurice, with a bit of a mix
The flavor...
I can taste the tomato sauce
and the onion. The onions cooked well
The egg. The egg adds to it
I like that it's runny, because in Japan that's popular
Yes. Yes! - It works very well
I like the use of the black plate
(I was) debating whether to use a regular plate
but then I thought, oh, I could put the rice in a bowl, make it bowl shaped
It was very nice
Instead of square shaped
Mmmmmmm
You happy with it?
That’s actually fire! That's good
Just like how my mother used to make
shout out to Mom!
So, Emma, friend of a long time
I've eaten many meals you've cooked for me in your own place
I'm so embarrassed.
I think maybe the taste will be okay. I don't know about the eggs
I think the chicken and everything probably is going to be fine
But I think the eggs, like, was not the call
so I'll just say presentation... It...
You don’t have to say anything
It is -0... like 1... -1
Presentation isn't everything, so I'm gonna - It's true
I do like my cooked onions, you know, in Australia on the barbecue actually
get a bit of that everything that's just that that's just onions and rice
I’ll go for this first
Okay
Tastes a little like burnt
Okay
Yeah - I - That - okay...
Chicken is nice
Okay. I'm glad that something is nice
It does give me a very like Australian stir fry vibe
I don't know about the quality of like Japanese
and I'm going to go for the egg
This is my least favorite part
Yeah, I'm really nervous for the egg
Oh. Oh, no
The texture is awful
Yeah - the flavor of that egg as well
There's just something not good about that
Can I try?
Flavor - I give it about mid range
It is a weird texture. It's like -
It's like mush
It's not as bad as I thought it would be,
but it's definitely it's not like a good dish
I'm not going to say anything
Don’t get the tamago (egg)!
Get like chicken and shirt
I'm going to say nothing
Oh my God, you're getting like a big lump of egg
Oh my God
I get it!
[PROJECTILE EGG]
Ahhhhhhh this is the worst day of my life!
Oh my God
I don't even blame myself
I blame the texture of the egg for flying out of my mouth in a million pieces
Honestly, it tastes fine
It’s just the texture was,
like, fell apart
Yeah, the texture’s very like mush - crumbly
It's like wet, but crumbly
Like, how's that possible?
You've created this new genre of eggs
Yeah, I call it the The Wumble; the wet crumble,
The Wumble Egg
Time to announce the winner
