Please, it is pronounced “go ju jahng” with a soft ‘a’. Not “go ju jayng” with the hard ‘a’. At least that is the way it is pronounced here in Korea. And yes, it is a great way to add a bit of flavor and heat to many dishes.
Barry, Yes, you made a relatively boring video in my opinion
I'm pausing to say TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARMS!!!
Hang on, have you moved and filmed 24 vids? Yikes
I'd pick Mike's to eat out of the two presented here. But if Barry did a slightly more agreeable plating that would be great too.
That ad is hilarious! 😂 love it- and the suit! Brilliant 😂😂
Nice video 😊
I don't know what causes Mike's shaky hands, if it's nerves, essential tremor, or something else, but it's inspiring to me to see someone else who deals with the same issue that I have doing so on camera and unafraid to have it spotlighted, even if it goes unnoticed to many others. I just wanted to say thank you, Mike, for giving me peace of mind when I struggle to do many day to day activities due to my shaky hands.
I am so infinitely jealous you guys get to work with your best friends like this and have so much incredible fun with cooking. None of my friends would ever have the time nor the interest. So jealous.
It's fun to watch when things come off the rails, but it was also fun to watch both Nornals roll with the punches and come up with something good.
The inclusion of an audience for the sake of an audience has ruined the entire channel.
Love the add for the sorted app 🤣
There's so much negative talk about it, I want it on the record I really like the studio audience. I'm not saying they're definitely right for every video, but I like them. A video like this and pass it on I think it makes perfect sense to add to the chaos with an audience.
I like bringing in the audience noise more at the end, too. The one negative I do basically agree with is it certainly does sound like everyone is projecting more for the live audience and it'd be great if something can be done about that.
I like how Ben chose Mike as the loser, but continued eating Mike's meal all the time.
For some reason I’ve been having trouble vibing with this new studio, and I think I’ve finally figured out why:
Yes, it’s “newer,” but in that same way it feels and looks “older” and dated. The concrete walls scream unfinished and that countertop looks like something out of the 60s!
I miss the modern and more trendy look of the other studio. Hopefully this one takes on more of that feel as time goes on.
i think mike won, i dont know if it's the pop of colour from the plate but to me mikes looks way more delicious than barry's and if they were side by side on a menu i'd pick mikes 100 times out of 10
Sous chef apron needs to be taken away or given to Jamie
5:59 not Mike sabotaging Baz's sauce with a hint of harissa LOL XD
Very delighted for the only advent I care about: daily Sorted videos 🙂 And thank you for the subtitles!!!
Ben! You're supposed to say "the" loser not "a" loser XD tough call. While I liked Baz plating with the pop of green, I still felt like the dish was very brown. Mike surprised me with his dish, I had no clue what he was making until the very end and then I was like "wow that looks something I could tear into" haha great job to both the boys, next time we need more mayhem haha
Note to self, coriander is like a better bay leaf. just always go with adding it XD i put it in EVERYTHING but I love cilantro
While true that the ingredients chosen were relatively low risk, this was still a pressure test of thinking on the go and adapting what you're currently cooking. I say cracking job to both lads, this was really something to behold and perhaps the format could go on for a while with the ingredients/difficulty curve increasing steadily each time. Perhaps culminating in some sort of final cook off between the three.
Unfortunately having the audience "noise" makes this sound like US style canned laughter. Very Cheesy!
Loved the video both great dishes, had to click off once we got to Ben in spandex 😂😂 Just joking love you guys ❤❤
I don't understand. 7:43
I kept on hearing them saying this, but bothering me, what it means with the word "SEXIES"?
I like how barry is wearing red and made a green sauce, and mike is wearing green and made a red sauce
But it's not "5 Minute Mayhem", it's more like "25 minute panic"
OMG! You are doing the adventcalendar again 😍🥹
Come on Bas, begging for a protein after you've been given a carton of protein was a disappointment. And then you added another protein in with the chickpeas!
It would be really interesting to see the chefs do the exact same challenge (film it before the normals, and then show it to us after the normals). I think that contrast and comparison would go a long way to helping me understand what could be done differently to give things a bit more umpf.
Also, as always, requesting more vegetarian content pretty please. As much as I adore you lot, your channel is lacking two things – more vegetarian stuff, and a female presence (Janice does not count).
I love December! We're so lucky to get a daily video and this was a cracker. Thanks Guys
This format is weird. Its interesting to watch but, especially with the normals, you're going to end up with very similar dishes every single time.
Because they're not going to start off like the cooks and do a bunch of prep ahead of time. They're going to focus on their ingredient and how they deal with it, and by the time they finish that, another ingredient is introduced, and they dont have any direction other than to add that ingredient in to the dish. They'll add their own flourishes eventually but they aren't going to stray too far from those ingredients.
I think the format might work a bit better if you gave them a few minutes first to do prep without an ingredient, and then after 5 minutes, you introduce the first ingredient. Make them prep ingredients blindly to start with, and then try to incorporate whatever they started with with the ingredients as they get introduced.
You should do a pass it on mayhem, where each person receives a mistery ingredient, when they arrive at the kitchen, that they have to use in their turn
YES! This feels like a return to prime-Sorted! I've recently been binging the old Ultimate Battle playlist, as imo that's Sorted comedy at it's best. This video had the feel of that, and it makes me so happy! Also, I didn't realise there was a studio audience until the clapping at the end – so kudos for solving the issue of the audience presence "disrupting" the videos for us online viewers. Can't wait to see more videos like these, with just the right blend of mayhem, fun and learning.
Edit: Also, I'm really happy to see the mobile cameras back! It's a small detail, but viewing these battles purely through stationary cameras didn't feel as dynamic.
Ben´s nipples through the yellow spandex is as disturbing as it is hypnotic 😐
I think Mike's looked better!
The new studio with the audience cheering…
I'm sorry but I cant stand it. It's so "commercial" and "fake".
It's like when Gordon Ramsey went from wholesome Kitchen Nightmares in the UK to whatever the fuck that was he did in the USA.
Come on boys… Ya'll rich already. Don't sell out more. Go back to your roots.
i've always wondered how these would go if the ingredients were presented in a different order. like if they started with the corn and pancetta would that steer them a completely different direction
or what about starting with cheese and tofu?
Mike won in my book!
