Deep fried eggplant is the best eggplant will ever be. I hate all other preparations of it. Squeaky, spongy, soggy, flavorless.

This is a terrible take. I mean fried eggplant is great, and a precursor to eggplant parm, but baba ganoush? Garlic eggplant? Fish fragrant eggplant? Miso roasted eggplant? Those are foods I could live off of. If your eggplant is coming out spongy and flavorless then someone has hosed up, because eggplant is loving amazing.

No sauce, just salted after frying to make sure it stayed firm

Flour, eggs, then a mix of flour and panko

Fried at 350 until brown

Skin doesn’t hold dredge well so if you fry put the pieces in skin side up first so they can harden before you flip it

it's also not the same thing as super high-end actual japanese wagyu that you see go for hilarious prices; they interbred japanese and american stock to get something new (and tasty)

But the whole point of wagyu is supposed to be the marbling and when you grind meat you can just add fatty parts to adjust the fat content so it doesn't matter how much fat is marbled in the meat?

Edit: I guess some people say there are other differences though

This was incredible - a top 5 dish for me. Is there a name for a sauce of mirin + gochujang + black vinegar? It seems related to bibimbap sauce but no toasted sesame oil.

Is it fried tofu and green beans + sauce? Sounds good, loving me a spicy, tangy, sweet stir fry sauce.

Thanks for posting the recipe. I eat a lot of tofu eating out but to my shame I have never really cooked with it. The frying step kinda turns me off. Doing it all in one pan seems less of a bother.

Good excuse for finally getting a wok as well perhaps.

Healthy amount of butter, looks very good. Classic combo with the salad, but where are the potatoes?

SRF again last night. to be honest, SRF wagyu short rib is very overkill and I would be fine just with regular prime rated short rib.

cross section of the short rib after we separated individual bones.



cook: sous vide 48 hours @ 62.5C



cross section after searing



sliced into small pieces. it's way too rich otherwise.



plated. sauce was the sous vide juices cooked down a bit. crispy bits were fried beef fat trimmings.

That looks great.

Your commentary reminds me of an article I read once and can’t find again: a food site set out to review the premium steak options available. All told it was 7 or so steaks up for review, from US wagyu to imported Japanese beef.

There was originally going to be a video to accompany the article, but scrapped it on review because the reviewers started struggling halfway through the tasting. They didn’t think viewers would enjoy watching people look miserable while eating snow beef that cost hundreds to import from Japan.

for sure, high end japanese imported wagyu is best served in small slices or small chunks. here's a few different preparations/amounts I have tried:

at manresa (los gatos): a single small chunk


at ranzan (redwood city): 3 small chunks - this was the perfect amount


at ancora (san francisco): 6 small chunks - too much. I had trouble eating this (masami cattle ranch, american wagyu)



one thing I cannot do is wagyu served as nigiri sushi. the flavor profile and strength of the wagyu really takes away from being able to taste the sushi rice.

at ju-ni (san francisco): wagyu nigiri. meh.


at akiko's (san francisco): wagyu with truffle on top. meh.

It’s not really ‘good steak’, it’s its own thing. It’s like the difference between foie gras and beef liver, or lardo and bacon.

It’s super rich. I had Miyazaki A5 and it’s kind of like eating steak flavored butter. It coats your mouth in fat like eating toro.

I've only had A5 wagyu twice in my life: once with very small, thinly sliced portions, and once an entire ribeye.

They were both fantastic experiences but boy howdy did I regret tackling the whole steak later on, the richness definitely messed with my stomach.
