    As a half-asian it was pretty entertaining to see your take on the Asian market and its offerings, thumbs up for going and covering it! In many Asian cultures the "burnt" rice that forms on the bottom of the pot is considered the best part. As to the vast selection of things: it's pretty much the same when you reverse the situation: my local grocery store has soo many bays of pasta sauces, canned tomato products, mayonnaise, cucumber pickles, etc: all of which might seem excessive to an Asian not used to American cuisine.

    An Asian friend taught me to cut a slit or an x in the raw chestnuts and boil them in water. I like them so much better that way and they are soft like those in the foil packets. Try them that way! I think I boiled them for at least 20 minutes. Try a few at a time until you get it right.

    We have an Indian store
    (which caters to the Southern Indian community)
    two Chinese stores
    and a Vietnamese store
    fortunately none are too big
    but they do have a full range of goods
    and the Tamil Indian store also has
    African and Latin American goods too.
    I love finding things in these stores.
    Recently I bought some fufu flour
    because it was vegan and it was cassava and plantain flours combined
    Not sure if it is too health
    but I too have a "novelty switch" like Reebs.

    Hey guys… Dr McDougall says that nuts used to be a mostly annual treat. They were in the shell, and hard to get to. Now! We can eat them daily, because we can buy them already shelled (and fried and salted, sugared, etc). That's why not to buy chestnuts that are already roasted and peeled. Today we can eat these high powered snacks and wash it down with a sugary vegan drink. No wonder people say 'it doesn't work.' They're not getting slimmer or healthier, so they might as well not stay vegan which they equate with plant based. Your story, Dillon, about having been an unhealthy vegan is so important, and so far you've represented all that's good about the healthy whole plant food way of eating. We need that clear message so much. It's fun to buy, try and show how the corporate food industry is taking what is supposed to be healthy, and turning it on it's head, but to be clear, we don't want these products sold at the register, or even included among the healthier versions of, say soy milk, or chips. I know there's already soy milk with sugar in it, but am really upset that it's being sold as a grab and go drink. Love seeing what's available in the Asian market in your area. I finally made it to my local Asian market. There was no produce, and everything was in packages and baggies. I need to learn more about what's available. They didn't have what I wanted, so I got it through Amazon. Keep up the good work. We need you out here. You're one of our beacons of what actually works in the WFPB no sos world.

    Thank you for doing a video about H mart. I am sometimes intimidated to go there because many vegetables are not labeled in English. When it is unfamiliar, I don’t know how to cook it or what it’s called. But I agree it is nice to explore something new.

    Love your channel – have learnt so may great tips and recipes. Thank you. Hoping I can give back with perfect roasted Chestnuts. I roast chestnuts every Christmas for my granddaughters. Preheat oven to 425. Cut a cross in the top of each chestnut place in a pot with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. As soon as pot reaches a boil remove chestnuts with a slotted spoon. Place on baking sheet cut side up and place in preheated oven for 15 – 20 mins. Remove from oven and wrap in kitchen towel. Let sit for 10 mins then peel and enjoy. As long as the chestnuts are fresh they come out perfect every time 🙂

    In Ohio, our Asian markets are tiny & dirty & look like fronts for the Asian mafia. But I still watched anyway. That produce section is to die for!
    Isn’t soy genetically modified unless marked organic?
