Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hello and welcome to my kitchen again. Today, I'm going to show you how to cook delicious fish and chips, very popular in scope in British pubs. And you can do this very easy. Let's start. Chips. 2. Preparing the Chips: Let's start from, from the chips. I'm cooking potatoes spheres. I know that is not the most, the most popular way for cooking chips, but in this way, the chips will be so dedicated insight and very conch shells site. And it is big difference comparing two. If you just bake the chips in the hour from chips from keeper market, even if you make these yourself in the oil without cooking. The secret is, you cook the chiefs cooked potatoes into the point where we'll be almost over cookie can see start splitting will be very nice. 3. The Butter: The next step is the butter. I'm using ******* just because I catch a load of *******'s this weekend, but e.g. caught or harder, maybe we'll be better. However, ******* is good as well and tastes delicious. For butter, we need to handle grams on play flower, 5 g of baking powder, and 275 ml of lagger of your choice. Pinch of salt, a little bit. Fresh ground black pepper, and that's it. You need just mix everything to be sure that all flower is dissolved in the in the beer. The batter should be in, drop pick, consistent. That's mean when you take on the spouse also drop a little bit but should not be too watery and should not be too dry. 250k. I try many different recipes, but believe me, this is the best. It's very nice, crunchy. Outside the fish butter or outside the feasible knew. When you fry This tastes nice. It's nice. Color is the best recipe so far. I'm really trying anyway, but I like this one. That's it. 4. Frying the Fish: Now let's try the fish. First. You need to put the fish into the flower. You need season the fish. Fears, of course, I forgot to this before, but I did this outside the video. So put into the flower because when you put it into flour, butter is keeping on the fish. Otherwise it will be not will be not covering rebuttal of everywhere. The temperature of the oil should be 150 degrees Celsius. It is about 300 Fahrenheit and should not be too hard because when we will be too hot, the batter will be too dark and fears can be undercooked. You can see it's nice. Hot hot oil. And I'm using Voc, ivory like cooking with voc a cooking a lot of different dishes and forth. Trying is perfect. I'm not using fryer at all. And finding the Voc is also good way for seasoning the Voc and doing the job for two fish. For officials is perfect. You need to check temperature of cost. Disadvantage not using proper friar. You need to check the temperature of the oil in it is because you want to. It is what I always do advancing, advising and what I'm doing. Keep the recipient. Because when you keep the recipe, you can be sure that each time when you're cooking, you will have the same or very similar result. One time, coke with different temperature, 11 time in higher, sometimes add more, add more salt or some different ingredients. You will never achieve the same result. And it is very important because if something is not exactly what you're expecting, you can just adjust at some, most ****** or maybe increase the temperature or time. So it is very important, at least for first time or second time. Keep the, keep the steps in the recipe. The fee should be nice, golden brown should not be too dark. It is because it will be too dry outside. And what is even more important is nothing good was that Dr. Fish, overcooked fish. Fish should still juicy. Tastes nice. Actually, I think that one of the best, one of the most important of cooking. Cooking tastes good food. It takes about 5 min on each side. But don't try speedup, don't try increase temperature. Because believe me, if you do this way, you will be very surprised if result is very nice, very good, juicy fish. One of the best fish and chips I ever need. And even in professional applies when when you buying gold fish and chips. Maybe because I cooking this, but I prefer this one. Of course it is not the most helplessly folder you can have, but sometimes this is okay, too good to eat. Something unhealthy. Even is good for you if you don't eat always. Some boring, very healthy staff because it is like with exercises. Challenging your body, of course not to match. Your body. Is building Gear. Strange? If you are all we care about yourself. Don't go to dumb down to two cold water when you. Swimming or so is, of course it is never good to eat. Too much. Not health default, but sometimes this uptake, especially that usually they're not healthy food, is so delicious at home when you're using fresh. Not not all. And you know that all of the ingredients you have, which is not unhealthy food, is maybe not very accurately. I think that this time for the fish, It's nice color. On one side you can see very nice color. Like amber. Like, like an amber. Fish and chips is very, very popular, very popular dish in the Scottish pops. I not doing very often, but sometimes I like Go and doing some beer. With fusion shapes. It is good to do it sometimes. I not speeding up the video. The video. It is because especially when I find the fish, I would like to show you how long it can take and how it looks like a fish looks like on, on on each stage. Matter, how you can see it is not something. What do you have paper a lot. It's very simple dish for preparing just the patter. And if you're not making your shapes, you can just buy some chips of your choice and coke oven or into the ureters up to you. And all dish is maybe 20 min altogether. Yeah, very nice. 5. Frying the Chips: So now it's time for chips, increase the temperature of the 180 Celsius. And put your chips coke before. When you put your chips to the temperature of all you are decreasing. Of course, you can see it's almost, almost overcook, but in these places when other coupon is splitting will be nice, crunchy taste. Even even it is quite a lot of work because you have to slice the potatoes, then Coke and keep attention not overcome the shapes. Then you have to fry it. Even if it is what? The taste, because stasis so amazing, the chips are so crunchy outside and dedicate insight. You can't achieve the same result from the, from frozen chips. But of course, if you, if you want to have ready dish in 20 min, just buy the chips in the shop, cook in oven. In the same time we'll phishing. Phishing is cooking. What is very important. Don't don't call this fish. Don't cook these chips in one go. I'm going to cook it in two steps. First step, when chips are almost cooked. Not correct, not the color yet, but are nice, crispy. Then I'm going to take out from the oil and increase the temperature of the oil. Then put the chips back and we'll be in the higher temperature. You can see is not colored yet, but will not split, will not break NMR. Then increasing the temperature to 180 again, and bug chips into Ireland. In filming you filming maybe one or 2 min. Taking nice golden brown color. Again, takes time. But if you want to cook something, perfect, that even in a cooking french fries, I am doing it the same way. Just does it mean in two steps? First, when are you can see that this you'll be very surprised with resort if their dot it's properly will be so delicious. Now, back the ships into the oil and Coke for another 2 min. It is depends on color. Look at the car, don't do, don't look at the time. So-called, how is it even french fries? Very thick, very thin. I'm cooking integrals first when are almost cooked. Then taking out from the oil, increasing temperature to 180, pause for another minute or minute or two. And big difference. Big difference than if you just cook in one time because richard of all is decreasing and takes longer time to get nice, proper color. But be dry inside. A nice, almost done. Not to look more. You can see the code very nice or not overcooked. But you can feel the taste. But I will, in few minutes, chips are done. And now I will prepare. Mashed piece. Can see very nice color. 6. Mashed Peas: Foremost piece. Heat. No stick. Pan. Put the oil, always put oil on to the hot pan. Never called vowel. Then at peace, I am using frozen because it's easier. Just difference this first. Fears but never using fresh. Never. Usually easier and cheaper is from Frozen result is the same. And cope with this. I will be cooking with some onion and with mint. Mint, increasing the taste a lot. So it's adding some extra taste to dismantle Pete piece. Of course, you will learn don't like them. Don't add mint, but not too much, just little bit. Two cloves of garlic, 12 of chromosome. It is up to you how much you like. And cook until the, until the onion, nice. Soft, literally butter. When you mix butter with oil, you have taste of butter. And butter doesn't bond to match because smoking temperature, butter is very low. When you mix with oil is higher. Seasonal need some salt and pepper. When ready. Does marsh don't have to be completely mashed? I like the texture, but just literally it is enough. And mint. 7. Ready Fish: Okay, so our fish is ready. Look, look at this color is so beautiful. The same chips. If you could taste this, you will. Of course, because you will cook this is in it. And so nice, so good. At some, put some lemon. I don't like lemon with the fish. Even like just add some sauce of your choice. For me will be, will be tartar sauce. Just buying it, but you can prepare themselves as of course, it is. For me this bird affect fish and chips. We've matched these and that time sauce. Just one more thing I would like to show you. Look at this. So crunchy inside. Look, you've got it. It's not dry at all. So juicy you can see. Very nice.
