    Thank you for sharing everyone's recipe. I'm learning a lot from different countries. I wanna try them out. Though I already did some of them and they all taste interestingly amazing

    Beryl tries so hard to respect every culture by making every recipe authentic as possible, from scratch, and follow the instructions… Until it comes to her own culture. 😂 Then she's like "Take all the shortcut! Use a box mix! Order it from takeout!" Which I'm cool with, but it's a pity since chicken soup from scratch is so incredibly easy.

    Although easy (and cheap) it can be a bit time consuming. But the time is mostly letting it boil for 3-4 (or more) hours. Onions, carrots, celery, chicken (dark meat, bone and skin on), salt, garlic, pepper, and water. Boil for several hours. No you don't need to sauté the veggies first. No you don't need to brown the chicken. Just dump it all in a pot. It's that simple. Make a big pot and freeze the extra broth. Bam! Homemade chicken soup whenever you want. Matzah balls from scratch aren't hard either, but finding the perfect recipe may take a few tries.

    As an act of defiance and also protest to my congested nose, I sometimes resort to doing the samyang challenge myself. When you're just done with a stuffed nose, you have nothing left to lose tbh hahahahah 😂

    I love hearing Beryl talk about her mother's soup (even if hers was better). That would be an awesome episode. 'Recipes your mother wants me to know about'. Or even just some personal recipes Beryl loves and cooked before starting this channel.

    My version of dakjuk for a sick person uses one cornish hen. The whole cornish hen and bones adds a lot of flavor and healing comfort. I let it simmer with garlic and ginger and after it's nicely cooked through, I shred all the meat and put it back in the water it was simmering in, throw in some washed and soaked rice. Instead of a boiled egg, if I use an egg I crack it in right at the end, mix it up and it's ready almost instantly. (But most often when I'm sick and doing this myself, I skip egg and just go for simple). Plenty of fresh cracked pepper to warm you up and some spring onion makes it perfect. I like mine to be a little less thick/more soupy.

    Beryl, A “shonda” that you could say matzoh balls from a box mix are better than your mom’s home made! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😉😁💓 oh and I add bay leaf, lots of ground pepper and lemon juice into my chicken soup. Or as a dear friend, once told me, when I asked fir her recipe, “Just throw a chicken in a pot, and boil the Hell out of it.” 😂

    How about using soya chunks instead of wheat gluten? I'm not sure of its availability. You might be able to find them in an Indian grocery store. It has a distinct smell that might take some time to get used to, but it really goes well with spices. It doesn't have a strong flavour of its own and kind of acts like a sponge in embracing other flavours.

    The last soup reminds me so much of caldo de pollo. I make it every time I get sick and it’s basically chicken, potato, carrots, celery, chayote, squash, cabbage, corn. Corn is always the best part tho 🙂

    Hey Beryl! Seitan is much better when flavors are added into the seitan mix and the seitan is steamed. I use tofu in my soups, though.
    I like making a soup with blended potatoes (with a bit of veg broth stirred in) as the base, wild rice, and shiitake mushrooms.
    So comforting on a cold day.

    Beryl, you need to add more water to your dakjook. Korean jook is thick but not like that. But honestly, I prefer Chinese, Vietnamese, or Thai congee. But Hongkong style is my go to. And mind you I'm half Korean and grew up eating dakjook. The types of porridge though I do prefer the Korean version. We have abalone, pumpkin, red bean, sweet redbean, chicken beef pork and most types of seacreatures, pine nut, and even milk, which was brought in by Mongolia. I also recommend using a real stewing chicken a black silkie chicken or a guifei chicken, and using that meat as the meat in the porridge, yes it's tough, but but it's REALLY chickeny, and just so good!! Also try topping with not just scallion, but the roots, and some fried garlic, and fried shallots! And have some sour kimchi or Korean pickled eggs! It's the best, and because I got used to Chinese style I also top with cilantro! It's so good!!
