- Duh.
No!
- My hint is "you shouldn't have used this."
(Laughter)
- Hey guys, it's Katie
and welcome to another episode of Lost in Translation.
We take a recipe, we put it through Google Translate.
It goes from English to Norwegian, to Danish
to Laos, and many, many, many more.
And finally back to English
to give us a hilariously translated recipe.
Today's episode, I'm very excited about
because we are getting our recipe from a very special guest.
- Hey, what's up everybody, I'm so excited to be here.
Jasmine, doesn't know that I'm here yet.
I am very excited for the dish that I chose today.
I think it might be a little bit tricky.
It's based off my friend Woon Heng's recipe
and I did my own little twist on it.
So at the end, I'm gonna bring in
how the dish is supposed to be.
Let's see what Jasmine does.
Good luck, Jasmine. Rooting for you.
- [Katie] Are you ready?
- Yes.
- This one's unique.
- Oh.
- And different
- Vegetable Grinder.
I love it.
I'm ready to cook.
- [Katie] Let's do it.
Let's Do it.
Step 1. Cut 8 ounces of I know into 1 1/2 pieces.
Take it in a bowl and add plenty of water.
Leave for 2 minutes until golden brown.
Cut 8 ounces of I know. I don't know.
(laughter)
There's bean cured sheets, tofu paper.
There's some Nori, more bean cured.
I really like the amount of bean cured sheets we have.
Do you do have to soak these.
Bean curd, bean to I, bean, bean.
I'm a human being. I-
- that's a stretch (laughter)
- Word association power.
What we're gonna do is cut eight ounces.
I guess I have to weigh them.
(laughter)
So I have chosen these.
I personally have not worked with them before.
This is like Asian auntie level.
I'm not there yet.
Eight ounces.
Let me grab a bowl first
because I'll have to rehydrate it in plenty of water.
One and a half pieces.
I'm scared if I cut it now
and I need it big later, no good.
I'll put this here first.
I'm just weighing eight ounces.
So right now, I am going to just cut all of them in half.
I'm gonna fill this with water.
Now, I'm just dousing it,
making sure it's all covered in water.
I guess we're gonna leave it in
for 2 minutes till they rehydrate.
Step 2. Rinse the squash on the skin
and inhale a lot of water by hand.
Transfer to a clean bowl.
Maybe, it's rinse the oil off the skin
and ring out the excess water.
I'm just gonna squeeze this as much as I can
to get all the water out.
Feels so good.
Step number 3. In a medium bowl,
wipe together the 2 teaspoon chicken broth,
1 tablespoon it will work, 1 teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon plums pepper,
1/2 teaspoon hungry bite, 1/2 teaspoon onion flour
3 tablespoon of wheat and 1/4 cup of water.
Medium bowl is acquired.
Chicken broth, nutritional yeast.
Oh, mushroom powder.
When I'm eating this, often it is paired
with mushroom powder.
- Ooh. Yeah.
- [Jasmine] For chicken broth.
I am going with mushroom Bouillon.
I actually find this to be a pretty common pairing.
Unless, I got that wrong then I'm, I'm (beep)
- What? (laughter)
- We still need merch ideas, y'all.
leave it, Leave a comment.
- Not on my (beep)
- [Jasmine] 2 teaspoons.
It will work, something that works.
Yeast works, it be working.
So, I think I'm gonna go with nutritional yeast.
1 teaspoon, salt.
I think that's salt.
That one usually doesn't change much.
I think plums pepper is chili pepper.
So, I am gonna do 1 teaspoon of plums pepper
as Saan chili flakes.
1/2 teaspoon hungry bite.
I am actually leaning towards garlic powder,
that's what I'm gonna do.
1/2 teaspoon onion flour
which I think is 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder.
3 tablespoons of wheat.
I assume that is flour.
I will do potato starch.
And the 1/4 cup of water,
that, I think is water.
We are going to wipe it together.
Hmm. Smells really good.
Step number 4. Pour the mixture
over the milk skin and mix.
Divide the tube into 5 same piece.
I'm gonna mix this in here so I don't lose any mixture.
So don't mark it wrong, Alexa.
(laughter)
So, now we're just gonna mix this.
I'll just divide it evenly into 5.
5.
Think I'm gonna do this on a tray.
Divide the tube into 5 same piece.
I think I'm just gonna divide them equally into 5.
Even though I have more than five pieces.
Step number 5. Divide the lemon into 5 inches.
It will require 5 in total.
I thought I already did this.
(laughter)
Divide the lemon into five inches,
it will require five in total.
Okay. I, I will use a hint.
- You get a special hint.
Mimo is available on vacation.
- All right, time to call Mimo.
(phone ringing)
MIMO.
Help me, I'm being bullied.
- What you get.
(laughter)
- Okay. I need your help.
Can I read you the step?
Divide the lemon into five inches.
It will require five in total.
- Oh, I think I know what that is.
This lemon is long.
- [Katie] Good job Mimo.
- Thank you, Mimo.
That was very helpful.
- [Mimo] You're welcome, good luck.
- Thank you, Bye.
She said this lemon is long.
I mean, this is quite long.
(laughter)
This is long too, lemon grass,
And there's 5.
Oh, lemon. Oh, my God.
To use the lemon grass,
what we're gonna do is just use the stalks. Yay.
Step number 6. In a small bowl,
combine 1 1/2 tablespoons seal
and one tablespoon of boiled water.
Divide the soil into perilla leaves.
Soil. Something to seal.
If I'm combining these somehow,
I feel like I need some corn starch.
1 1/2 tablespoon corn starch
with one tablespoon room temp water.
Gonna mix this all together, till it dissolve.
Divide the soil into, oh, into perilla leaves on this?
I think I'm going to brush the soil onto my perilla leaf.
I'm gonna cover this.
And I have a lot of slurry left, so maybe that was wrong.
Step number 7. Cover the branch tightly
with the marinade to form compact layers,
continue wrapping it
in the first layer to get the shape of a drum.
Cover the branch tightly, branch, tightly
with the marinade, marinade.
Okay, well then I do have to cut this into strips.
How do I do that now?
I think I'm gonna cut these into strips
and wrap 'em around like a drum.
And then I'm gonna take one strip and cover it tightly
with the marinade to form compact layers.
There really is no going back after this.
So I'm gonna keep wrapping.
Right now, I feel okay.
I just hope this is somewhere on the right track.
I'm gonna keep doing this and read step 8.
Katie, is so gracious.
Step number 8. Bear the ends of a stem to form a stem.
Repeat with the remaining stems and lines. Lines.
I think I'm just gonna continue doing this
until all five are complete.
I've finished my first one.
I'm trying to make them look a little bit
like chicken drumsticks.
This will be a while.
Look at my little soy babies.
I think they look pretty cute.
If I went the wrong way,
I'm like wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Step number 9. Wrap the exploded tightly in foil
and let cool for 30 minutes.
So, I guess I will wrap these individually in foil
and then cool for 30 minutes, in fridge for 30 minutes.
Oh, freeze, freeze.
Am I gonna fry these?
I can't read ahead.
- Maybe. I can. No.
- I'll Venmo you.
(laughter)
- [Jasmine] Okay. I'm gonna wrap these
and then I'm gonna freeze them.
It looks like chicken.
So cute.
These are all wrapped in foil.
Now I'm gonna put them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
It could be fridge, but I'm gonna do freezer.
BRB.
Step 10. There, in a bowl 1 tablespoon water,
1 tablespoon sitting sauce, one teaspoon Worcester
and a 1 teaspoon honey cart. In a bowl.
It's always my favorite step.
There, in a bowl sounds so poetic. There, in a bowl.
I think water's water.
Okay. We'll do 1 tablespoon water.
The thing is, I wanna say sitting sauce is soy sauce
and I might wanna use a hint for Worcester
'cause I just don't think Worcester is correct.
I think soy sauce is sitting sauce.
Every time Katie goes, I just feel I'm wrong.
(laughter)
So I'll do 1 tablespoon of sitting sauce.
1 teaspoon Worcester.
I'll use a hint for Worcester
- Who would you like your hint from?
- Kelly.
- It's exactly what it sounds.
My hint is, you shouldn't have used this.
- No!
Now, I know for sure.
For honey cart, I'm gonna do maple syrup.
The sauce is beautiful in Amber colored.
Step 11, take the circuit board out of the fridge
and remove the plastic screw.
Cover with sauce and set aside.
I must head to the freezer.
This is my circuit board remove the plastic screw
which is the foil.
Ooh, that was good.
There, my plastic screws are here.
Cover with sauce and set aside.
So what I'm gonna do is, take this sauce that I just made
and just coat them all.
The only reason I feel more confident is
because we are working with ingredients I'm familiar with
but who knows?
Did I just gravitate towards the one
that I'm familiar with?
- [Katie] Kelly? What did you do?
- She went-
You know, it's like the outside is gonna be well coded.
I'm not sure how deep it's gonna seep in.
Step number 12. Do a true 325 degree evolution.
- [Katie] Spin.
- I think I will have to do-
Either bring oil to 325 degrees or preheat the oven to 325.
I think do a true 325 degree evolution
means to preheat the oven to 325.
I will be right back.
Step 13. Add the drums and sprinkle with a non-stick stick.
Boil, what?
For 8 to 10 minutes, until crispy golden brown.
(laughter)
The cooking method is very important.
May I have a hint?
- Would you use non-stick stick to fry.
- Wait, wait, wait.
I use it for my air fryer
- Can you get out of your Gollum-like position.
- I think it's air fry.
I want a new hint.
Is it air fryer?
- You don't get a new hint.
That's your hint.
- Dang. So it's oven.
I am going to sprinkle with my non-stick stick.
boil for 8 to 10 minutes until crispy golden brown.
I think, means to put it in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes
I will be right back.
Step 14. Half cup of sauce in a medium sauce pan;
mix 2 tablespoons of honey
with half teaspoon of Sesame and salt are delicious.
We got a hot plate and now I need a medium sauce pan.
Half cup of sauce.
What kind?
(laughter)
Half cup of sugar.
I think it's brown sugar or is it water?
- [Katie] 5.. - NO.
- [Katie] 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
- I freeze under pressure.
I'm gonna do half a cup of sugar,
two tablespoons of honey as soy sauce-
- because you want to?
- You have a lot of questions.
- She's lying?
- Liar.
- Half teaspoon of Sesame and salt.
Half a teaspoon of Sesame oil.
Salt? They could do some salt.
- Do you think that was right?
- Yeah. Final step.
Fill the fried tannin with honey grilled sauce and garnish
with vegetables. Good father.
(laughter)
Fill the fried tannin with honey grilled sauce.
I think that is use the sauce
and coat it on my plastic screws.
Now, we are going to fill the fried tannins
with my honey grilled sauce.
I just don't know what I would garnish with.
Garnish with some Sesame seeds.
Before I garnish, I am going to transfer my fried tannins
onto my plate.
To garnish, I am just gonna cover it
with a little bit of toasted sesame seeds.
- Because Sesame seeds are vegetables.
(inaudible)
- There, we have it. Vegetable Grinder.
So, you're ready to meet the guest
and see what they're supposed to look like?
(whimpers)
- Oh my. Hello.
(excited screaming)
- I'm honored to be here.
I'm very excited.
So, I see what you've done here based off my recipe.
- [Jasmine] Yours is beautiful.
- [Merle] Honestly, yours is giving me like croissant vibes.
I'm like, this is decadent. (gasp)
The recipe I chose is vegan chicken wings using Yuba
or tofu skin.
- Well, I have made vegetable grinder.
(snickering)
Do you wanna try vegetable grinder
- So badly,
you have no idea.
All right, cheers.
- Cheers.
- Mm
- That's good.
- That's really good.
- Is it?
- [Jasmine] ] I like it.
- [Merle] It's kind of nice meaty chew to it,
which is kind of like the heart of this recipe
in the first place.
- A little salty.
- I'm not above that though.
What I'm really impressed is that you nailed the layers.
So great job.
- Okay. I wanna try yours.
- Let's do it.
- Cheers.
- Mm.
- [Jasmine] This taste like barbecue drumsticks.
- How did you get from honey to mushrooms?
- Things happen, Merle.
- Okay.
I think you did a really good job.
They're related, they're like cousins.
- Well, this was a lot of fun, Merle.
Thank you so much for this recipe.
- You're welcome.
I honestly thought it was gonna trip you up
more than it did.
I feel like you absolutely nailed it.
- I do feel like I have a confidence boost.

because I think I needed this confidence boost,
that's all I'll say.
We will see you next week.
- Bye!
- This is gonna be a fun one, she's gonna cry. No-
- You're so much taller.
(laughter)
- [Katie] I know.
- Oh (beep) it doubles.
- Hungry bite, baby.
- Hungry bite.
- Put that on a shirt.
- So many merch ops.
I'll Venmo you, I won't accept bribes,
only bribes from Josh.

- Dating for vegans at vegetable grinder.
(upbeat horn music)
