Welcome to the first Cooking with Dog fan event
held at Tastemade Studios.
We're really happy to have you guys today.
Cooking with Dog is the largest Japanese cooking show on YouTube.
And perhaps the only show in the world
that's hosted by an English speaking poodle with an exotic Japanese accent.
Without farther ado,
I would like to introduce Chef and Francis of Cooking with Dog.
Francis, how are you feeling?
Francis: I'm good. I'm good.
Chef: Konnichiwa, everyone!
Fans: Konnichiwa!
We're so happy that so many of you could come out
and let us cook for you today!
Today we will be making fried asparagus wrapped in pork
and eating it fresh from the fry pan.
We will also be making pineapple ice cream,
which you can find the video for on our channel.
We will be eating this fresh as well.
First, let's prepare the asparagus.
Cut the asparagus to a length of about 20cm (8in).
Then peel the outer skin of the asparagus stalks.
I always use this kind of peeler. It's very easy to use, so I brought it with me.
We have finished preparing the asparagus.
Now, we're going to wrap it in pork belly.
The tips are cute, so leave them exposed
and wrap the pork so the thickness is the same around the whole asparagus.
This ensures the asparagus is cooked evenly.
Next, when frying the asparagus you roll them in flour,
beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, in that order.
When beating the egg,
add in just a little water to loosen the mixture.
When small bubbles form around the panko,
it's the right moment to drop in the asparagus.
Cut the asparagus into 6 equal pieces.
Alright, it's done!
Who wants to be the first to try it?
So what do you guys say to some ice cream?
Yeah!
Begin by measuring.
100cc whipping cream.
100g plain yogurt.
40g white sugar.
2 tsp lemon juice.
400g frozen pineapple.
Oh!
I dropped some! This should be enough.
Okay!
Not Francis: This is really fresh. Anybody?
That's it for the cooking demonstration.
Next, we did a casual Q&A with our fans.
What kind of food do you like to make the most?
I might have said this somewhere else before,
but I love noodle dishes.
Udon, pasta, ramen...
When making udon, you're supposed to wrap up the dough in plastic
and knead it with your feet like this instead of using your hands.
But when we made udon on the show,
I couldn't just get up on the counter and step on it,
and plus, I didn't want to show my feet on camera.
Francis always sits so obediantly in the vidoes.
How do you get him to do that?
For some reason, he doesn't really jump
or do anything disobediant like that.
Though sometimes he gets so tired he almost falls off.
He sits on top of a stool only about this big
so his movement is limited to looking around here and there.
There isn't enough room for him to move around.
He only has about this much space.
We take him down and let him rest between scenes.
He gets tired.
He looks sleepy right when we start filming,
but when we're setting up he's so excited he just can't sit still.
It's like he knows we're going to be filming that day.
He looks like he really wants to come over to where I am.
Definitely Not Francis: Ohhhhh - I don't want to hear that!
Me too!
Secret relationship.
That's classified information.
Sorry about that.
At the end of the evening,
we invited everyone to enjoy a nice bento dinner
with Chef and that guy who sounds like me.
Thank you, and good luck in the kitchen!
