Gonna for sure make these. 10 Pts for the misplaced swear beep. Got a good laugh out of me.
The Pad Kra Pao was absolutely phenomenal. My kids smashed it down. Thanks so much Brian this and the casserole video have been total hits in our household!
Okay Mr Rachael Ray lol nice job,,I'm a home cook 57 years old been cooking for 49 years.Never gets old just more interesting and fun plus you learn from your mistakes.
Man, this one is a goldmine.
Any ideas how to do the gyro meat with out a food processor
Wow Bryan, I didn't know you play golf. Nice swing. The dishes look great. Thanks.
You could have easily made 5 videos but you gifted us with this gem! They all look incredible!
Bruh I love woks but they are horrible to use on electric or induction… flame heats the wok much more evenly. If you have electric or induction, get a thick (cast iron maybe) braiser pan to prevent warping, and use that over the biggest induction/electric area you can get if flame isn't an option for you.
Thanks so much for doing a myriad of recipes that aren't spaghetti, spaghetti and spaghetti. I believe most of us who are home cooks have most of these ingredients in the pantry already. I very much look forward to busting these out! Thanks so much.
Made the Moroccan Ground Beef Stew tonight. My family loved it; Especially my 1 year old – couldn't get enough of it!
You can make all these same dishes with a half lb of beef and a quarter cup of tvp.
Half the environmental impact, with the same taste and texture.
I love how you always offer alternatives for people with different needs/resources – like you can sub one pasta for another if it’s not available, or broil vs grill if you don’t have a grill. Makes these recipes accessible. Love the content. Just miss “let’s eat this thinggggg!”
#1 channel on YouTube. Brian never fails to amaze and impress me. There should be a Lagerstrom day. As because of him, I’m not afraid of my kitchen! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is a great video for fresh, easy ideas. Most ground beef in my house goes towards Italian or Mexican food, so I'm looking forward to making all of these for my fam.
Just made the pad kra pao and it is phenomenal. You're wonderful, Bri!
Also got ingredients for the chili peanut lo mein, hopefully will make it later this week.
Dude your content is AWESOME🙌 I’ve fallowed a few of your recipes already and they’ve all been delicious!
Holy crap those chili crisp noodles were amazing. I used your wonderful chili crisp, though only 100g because I’m ran out, but it was spicy and so flavorful. I also used broccoli because they were out of broccolini (steamed it some in the wok by putting a bowl over it and a splash of water, watch your fingers it gets hot). But seriously dude, this is 10/10. Thank you, can’t wait to make the rest, and more chili crisp tomorrow.
Hey Brian. Thanks for another great video! On a side note, I want to go from electric to gas. Can’t find any good info about what I should look for in gas range. Any chance you could do a video on it? Thanks.
Solid easy-gyros, Bri! I tried out your recipe, but subbed Marjoram for Oregano. Really close, and the lack of lamb is not really noticed. Will 10/10 do again. Thank you sir!
Also, would recommend homemade pita… I think Brian has a recipe for that on his channel. Store-bought…notsomuch.
This vid deserves whatever the cooking YouTube version of an Emmy is
#3 needs dried tofu, sesame to better enhance it — it's quite plain
Dude this is an absolute banger

Just doing the good work over here. Giving us SOLID weekend helps! Thank you!
Excellent ❤

Do you have a written recipe of the chili crisp peanut noodles by chance?
Am I the only one noticing that Bri looks soooo pretty in this amazing minced beef recipes vid. He looks so well rested. Thanks also for the bonuses… Bri's feet and legs👍 More, please! ( I mean yummy, easy to follow recipes and Bri's feet and legs. I love his hands and fingers, too but I see them in every vid he does😊 )
This is great! I always have a lot of veggie mince in the freezer that I can use this for!
I feel like this wok technique only works if you have a gas stove..?
For the third one if you got some Asian groceries around you, def go and snag some doubanjiang and add in lieu/substitute part of the chili crisp (let that fry up a bit like tomato paste and release the red oils) and boom you got some essentially stir fried dan dan noodles
They're all great quick recipes but the gyro does it for me. Damn I love gyros!!!! Lamb would be better
After living in Asia for nearly 2 decades, the first 3 are my go-to recipes for ground meat as well. Well done Bri.
Is the beef going to be soft enough? (I’ve watched only the first recipe so far)
These all look awesome! I've made gyros in a similar fashion before and they're indeed as good as what you get from most restaurants. The meat can also be prepared in advance and sliced -> browned in a skillet before serving. Making your own flatbreads elevates it even further, like a lot, store bought pita in my area are…not very good. The tzatziki keeps for a couple of days in the fridge(3 max), and your flatbreads can be frozen. Good for serving company.
OMG! These recipes look absolutely fabulous!
