(Yelling) B-E-A-T beat the egg!
- (PD) Hi guys! - Hi!
Yes!
- Oh, I watch MasterChef. - Yeah, I watch MasterChef.
- Yeah. - What? Are you asking us that question?
- Do you know who we are?! - Do you know?! - Yeah. - What? Are you asking us that question?
- Do you know who we are?! - Do you know?!
Do you know who we are?!
I love Bon Appetit.
I love Claire and Brad. I love Binging with Babish.
I love watching cooking shows.
On Netflix you have Chef's Table...
Street Food...
I'm the kind that doesn't like to waste food.
- I'll try to make something out of leftovers and bring to work the next day. - Very resourceful.
And da bao (takeaway).
I like to cook, but I'm not a good cook.
- Are you a good cook? - Um. I like to cook, but I'm not a good cook.
- Are you a good cook? - Um.
I actually shifted out of my parents' home with my sister 2 years ago.
So you'd think that I do a lot of cooking...
- No, that's not true. - She eats a lot of instant noodles at home.
I know how to fry eggs... Make scrambled eggs...
Every kind of egg there is, except poached eggs.
Pasta, fried rice, the 'zi char' kind of vegetable...
I like to make curry... baked rice...
I think I'm a very good cutter.
You know, onions and potatoes...
I can cut them damn nicely. Every piece's thickness is the same.
We are not like the...
We are the...
- Yes, that's the speed. - That's the speed.
Yeah, I know how to dice... - Yes, that's the speed. - That's the speed.
Yeah, I know how to dice...
- Yeah... - Garlic...
And I know how to remove the skin easily.
Like...
I love cleaning garlic.
On today's episode of Singaporeans Try,
we are going to be doing basic skills, kitchen edition!
No!!!
I've been waiting for this.
We are going to win.
Maybe we are not from Eatbook.
So are you ready?
- Yes! - Oh, my God.
Now you all need to gear up.
This one looks like it's for professional chefs. This one looks like it's for baristas.
(Gasps) Apple?
- Shoots. - Ah, lame. Apple?
Ok.
None of these knives are the correct knives.
I think I'll choose this one.
I'll try this one.
- Never. - No!
Don't look at me.
You also don't look lah.
The thing is, I think that my...
I think that cutting the skin off is damn difficult,
because you have to have the right amount of...
Skin and flesh.
But the thing is... This is tough.
Oh!
You have to have the right amount of strength. If you peel it too hard -
- Ah! - Then you'll just cut through the skin.
- My God. My hands are shaking. I can't do this. - Ah!
- Ok! - No!!!
Confirm die one.
No.
Yes, Ally.
I wanna say I feel so pressured.
Aiya, die already lah.
Super short.
It looks like someone has ate the apple.
Actually, this is not that difficult. But it's difficult to get one whole piece of skin off.
But you know that apple skins have vitamins?
Don't need to skin your apples. Just eat.
What's this?
Is it one of those... Is it an avocado?
Oh, it's an avocado. This is how it looks like.
Is it ripe?
We have to feel it.
This is not a 'see who does it faster'. This is a cooking show.
- Yeah, this is Cooking with Sistor. - Yeah.
Welcome to the first episode of Cooking with Sistors.
And today, we are going to cut up an avocado~
- What's the first step, sistor? - First, you gotta make an incision.
Alright.
- Oh, no. It's like the old days again. I'll hold it when I cut... - Put it down!
- Slice around. - Yeah, you've got to slice around it like so.
Oh, my God. I can feel the seed. I cannot cut through.
Ooh!
I've never seen an avocado being cut like this before.
Can you see this? Can you please?
I don't even know what is happening.
Sometimes the seed might be a little too big.
Or too small.
We are just gonna twist it and open it.
And open.
Whack the seed.
- (Zhin) I was see those yoga... - Seed.
What... Ice cream...
Your blade! Face it away from me!
Ta da.
Done!
Imagine you wake up one day... Go for a honeymoon...
- Amazing. - "My dear, some avocado for you?"
I told you! They'll make us skin onions.
I don't think it's just about peeling.
Ho ho! Onion!
You must cut? You'll cry.
According to what I remember, you cut one end first.
Whoa, it's been a while since I've diced it.
You need to go by small bits.
Wait. Point it towards yourself and cut vertically down.
Ugh! I cannot open my eyes.
Ra, doing that is making everything worse.
Wow, look. So cute. Now, are you all ready for magic?
Look at that!
You know when you are in Math, and you draw models...
You cut one big rectangle and give one side to Jane and one side to Tom.
You just cut it like that.
Owww it hurts...
I'm tearing... T_T
- You see... - Oh my God.
You can put these in the curry already.
I think that this is the easiest way, honestly.
I mean, if you want it to look pretty and consistent.
I think that my method is more for people who are not so good with knives.
So you might wanna cut them up into smaller pieces before you chop them up.
But hers is one whole block, and you slice it like that...
If you accidentally miss it, it's very dangerous.
- Ew! - I cannot open (my eyes).
Shit.
- I got a shock. - Oh, I've practiced this before.
I hate touching raw prawn.
I have done this a lot of times.
Bye, whiskers.
It kind of is the cockroach of the sea. (Note: lobsters and shrimp are often termed 'cockroaches of the sea')
Yeah, the legs are very gross.
I'm going to opt for a smaller knife.
Like that.
Bring it up.
Ew. Ew. EW!
If you peel carefully, you can peel enough for the tail to be out.
- These are the feet. - Ooh, I see the shit.
Ooh, see? It's out. Ew!
No need to devein lah. You won't die if you eat it.
It's still food.
I feel like if my mum were watching this, she would have a heart attack.
"Be careful!"
A clean back...
We have deveined and deshelled a prawn.
With the tail intact.
Cooking with Sistors! Oh my God, we can make a heart.
Make a earring. You dare?
I didn't even know that they have veins for you to devein.
- People just eat it. - Actually I think that if you cut it properly, you can take the whole thing out.
I think that the hard part is separating the egg yolk from the egg white.
I've tried it before with the egg white. To make it peak. It's very hard.
You must use the machine.
I have to use hands for this.
Woah!
Slow and steady.
Go down.
I've seen this on TV. They must do it like this.
Whisk it, whisk it.
5 second break. Sister!
♫ We can do this ♫
♫ Today ♫
♫ The egg is not fallin' on my head ♫
12345678910.
One thousand, two thousand.
3... 4...
5! Argh!
So scary!
Four thousand. Five thousand. Six thousand.
Seven thousand. Eight thousand.
Four thousand. Five thousand.
Yay!
Ew, no. You touched the prawns.
It happened faster than expected.
- My hands hurt a lot . - You have to have a lot of endurance.
This is the part where we really excelled.
I think we were nervous because we felt like we had our jobs on the line.
For me, I already have the basic skills in my mind.
But I didn't know that there were tricks, like cutting the onions into cubes.
There were also terms like 'deveining the prawns'. I didn't know prawns had veins.
I think that a lot of what we did today...
we don't really think about it so much in the kitchen because we have the tools to do it.
Like, you have an electric mixer...
- I mean, you have the egg separator thing. - Oh yeah.
We don't go into the kitchen enough because everything is so readily available everywhere.
If you want minced garlic, you can even buy it from the supermarket.
The avocado seems the most difficult because you don't know where to take out the seed.
- Yeah. - Or how to take out the seed.
Deshelling the prawn. That was the worst.
Looking at a raw prawn and cooked prawn...
One is gooey with its organs coming out.
Oh my God. Ew.
Trying to learn how to cook and having basic skills is super important.
Especially if you want to impress your future partner.
Or if you want to impress your future mother-in-law.
How long can you can you live on instant food?
At the end of the day, we still need to go back to proper food.
