Japanese 31 Clever Cooking Tricks That Will BLOW YOUR MIND 🔔 Subscribe to join our family and more Japanese kitchen wisdom 🤍   / @granny-yuki   You are not bad at cooking. You just learned recipes instead of techniques. In this video we counted 31 Japanese cooking techniques that will permanently change what comes out of your kitchen, starting with the ones that cost nothing and fix everything at once: velveting cheap stir-fry meat with a quarter teaspoon of baking soda until restaurants cannot tell the difference, soaking dried shiitake in cold water overnight so an enzyme converts its own RNA into guanylate, one of the most powerful umami compounds in cooking, the otoshibuta drop lid that seasons an entire pot with half the usual broth, shio koji coating that floods any protein with protease enzymes and glutamate overnight, and at number one the cold overnight dashi Granny Yuki kept on the second fridge shelf every morning of her life, kombu and katsuobushi in a jar of cold water, multiplying each other's savory intensity many times over without a single flame. She never explained it. She just moved my hand and said do it this way. She was right. 31 techniques, one kitchen, a lifetime of Japanese cooking wisdom nobody ever thought to write down until some grandson showed up with a phone.
