- What?
That's really sour.
- I'm gonna suck his brains out
- Pay water.
It smells like pay water.
- My nose is feeling things I didn't know it could feel
- I feel like I've done like a fireball shot.
Today we're gonna be trying each other's remedy recipes
and we're gonna score them
between 1 and 10
and whoever gets the highest score wins.
- I think remedy recipes are really important.
I feel like I do rely on them
and I'll do anything I can to get better.
- There's always gonna be something that someone's
ready to shove in your mouth for you to get better.
Sometimes it's amazing.
And sometimes it just makes you projectile vomit.
- I do love a good bowl of chicken soup when I'm sick
there's just something so
like hearty and comforting and warming about them
- I need something that will cut through
all of my sinuses to make me feel better.
- I feel a little bit under the weather at the moment.
So I'm hoping this will pull me right out of it.
Like I wanna be healed.
Please.
- So my remedy recipe is Sinigang,
and sinigang is a Filipino sour soup.
I start off by sauteing
chopped up onions with chopped up tomatoes.
And then I season it with some fish sauce.
That's when I add water.
And then I put in a prawn broth cube
just to add more flavor to the soup.
And then I put in the sinigang tamarind powder
cause that's where the sourness comes from.
Then you can add your prawns.
Then I put the rest of the vegetables.
(upbeat music)
- Oh my gosh.
Whoa.
Okay.
- Smells so good.
- Okay. It smells like it's gonna cure all of my illnesses
- Whole prawns with heads and everything.
- So here we have a shrimpy head
and I'm gonna suck his brains out
cause apparently that's where the flavor is.
Sybil's making a face.
(Hameda laughs)
I'm scared too Sybil.
Don't worry.
We're going on this journey together.
(Hameda slurps) (Tense music)
(Hameda slurps)
Oh my God. Yum.
- (Wheezy) Oh
- Oh wow.
- That is so acidic.
- Did she put like a whole lemon in here?
(Sybil laughs)
I'm not complaining.
Yum.
- It's just really sour.
Oh my God.
Like it's good but its really sour.
- Now that I've had a sip of it
it's like really like perked me up and I'm awake.
- Oh yeah.
Definitely tomato acidity as well.
- If you kind of had a blocked nose,
this broth would literally save your life.
- I'm interested about the fact
that it's like a seafood dish.
Like what is this curing?
I love this as a dinner dish.
As a remedy recipe,
I have to give it a
7,
7.25.
- I'm licking my fucking fingers.
10 out 10
- A 9 out of 10
because I would have this if I was feeling unwell.
My remedy recipe is a Turmeric tonic.
It's kind of like a honey, lemon, ginger tea.
So I'm juicing about five lemons.
Adding that to a pot of hot water,
get a very large chunk of ginger and grate that in the pot.
I'm adding in one whole lemon rind.
And then there's a few powders that go in.
So turmeric powder as well as cayenne chili powder,
drain it.
And then you add a big spoonful of manuka honey.
And then finally some apple cider vinegar.
- Ooh, what is this?
It looks extremely orange.
- This has given me vitamin C vibes.
- That's not orange juice.
- I'm nervous to try.
It smells potent.
It smells like it's got power
and heft and it's gonna kick me in the face.
- And this is like,
Oh, this is just water.
(Rizcel laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Ooh, that's spicy.
Oh my God.
This would be so good if you were sick.
- I feel like I've done like a fireball shot.
- Yeah. Okay.
That is extremely powerful.
- Oh my God. It's literally like a walnut shot.
Like that's exactly what they taste like.
Yum.
- My nose is feeling things.
I didn't know it could feel.
- I actually like this
- If you're not a fan of ginger
give this one a miss cause it's very ginger forward.
Like you're essentially just drinking puree ginger.
- I'm not big on spice
but whatever spice that's in this is like doing its job.
- It hurts and it burns,
but it's really good.
- And when you're unwell, like that's the first places
that get hit, right?
You get a sore throat, you get a blocked nose
just drink this.
And you'll feel like cleared up
- It feels like it's working already.
I'm not even sick.
I feel like my insides are like coming back to life.
10 out of 10
- a 9.5 out of 10.
- It's giving health 10 out of 10.
- My remedy recipe.
It's an Afghan dish.
It just makes me feel warm and cozy.
In a pan, you saute some onions until they nice and brown.
You add some spices.
Then you cook off some tomato paste,
add some tomatoes, coriander.
And then you add the meat and brown the meat.
You pressure cook soup mix beans.
When they're ready, add some noodles, some more meat
some dollops of that delicious yogurt
and some fresh coriander.
- A noodle soup.
- This smells so good.
- When I am sick, it usually kills my appetite.
So I wouldn't usually go for this.
- It just feels like,
It would be a lot for your stomach to handle,
especially if you had like an upset stomach
- And it looks like comfort.
Like it looks like comfort in a bowl.
(upbeat music)
- What?
That's really sour.
- That taste really good.
- It's very hearty, very warm, quite feeling.
- There's a lot of spices happening.
- It's a subtle sourness.
If I'm unwell, I would like this to be super sour.
- In terms of remedies, think that this is just
meant to like boost your mood, boost your feel.
- I would feel like really loved
if someone made this for me while I'm unwell.
- I also think there's a lot of garlic
and garlic
pretty sure as well
got like good healing qualities.
People like stick on their feet
and weird things like that.
Up the nose, garlic up the nose.
- 10 out 10 deliciousness.
But as a remedy recipe
I don't know if this is like quite the thing I'd want.
I'm gonna give it a 7.5 out of 10
- 7 out of 10.
- 8 out of 10.
- My remedy recipe
is the very well known among I think Chinese people.
Mung bean soup.
You drink mung bean soup for its cooling effect.
If I was like feeling rashy or like
if I had like a little bit of a rash.
It kind of will help with that.
- Oh
(glass kinks)
What is this?
And why do I feel like I'm in science class.
- Pay water?
It sounds like pay water, like pay the vegetable
(Ryan laughs)
- Sugar water, maybe like a syrup.
- The sugar water. I'm confused.
Does it just help with the taste?
Is that what we're going for?
- I love mung beans.
Like it is like a staple of my childhood.
So I think I'll like this
(energetic music)
- It's warm.
- Not much of a hit.
It's just kind of like mung bean water.
- The flavor of this is not that strong.
I can't really feel it shooting
up my nose or like going down and clearing my throat out.
- But maybe the heat of it is helping.
- It's like an earthy, like dirt, but in the best way
- You add sugar syrup to make it sweeter.
So let's try that.
Okay. It's better if you put a lot of this.
- Yeah. I'm really confused about this.
The color as well.
Like this is not the most appealing
- (Sybil) Wheezy said she uses it if
like she's getting a little rash or a little itchy.
- Oh
wow.
I had no idea.
I thought I'm pretty sure we use it
for like when you were actually
(Hameda coughs) sick.
- So would you wash it on you?
- (Sybil) No, you would drink it.
- Oh you drink it.
Okay.
Well maybe this will help give me clear glowing skin.
- I like it because I love beans.
You know what? Just for that,
I'm gonna give it an 8 out of 10.
- Would this heal me?
I think I'd be a bit skeptical.
So I would give this one, a 5 out of 10
- A 6 out of 10,
like it tasted good.
but it's just not hitting me
in the places that I need to be hit.
- (Sybil) And the winner is
You.
- Me?
Hey, you need to get that lemon and ginger into you.
I swear it will cure everything even life's problems.
- Oh God.
We're gonna get there.
Oh, okay. I believe I have deheaded.
No, the head's still attached.
(Sybil laughs)
