1
Nick: Today I'll be competing against Uncle Roger.
2
We'll be cooking each other's most famous hometown dishes.
3
The challenge will be judged by the toughest chef on the Internet, Chef Rush.
4
The stakes are high.
5
If I lose, Uncle Roger will take away my uncle title.
6
If Uncle Roger lose, I won't have MSG for one week.
7
Chef Rush: Chef Nick. Uncle Roger, you have 30 minutes to prepare the dish of your dreams.
8
And your time starts now.
9
-Nick:Okay. -Uncle Roger:Lobster.
10
Nick:So what's happened here is Uncle Roger is giving me everything I need to make one of his favorite hometown dishes.
11
I've done the same. Giving him all the ingredients he needs to make a lobster roll.
12
Uncle Roger: Oh, New England lobster roll.
13
Nice. Nick: Uncle Roger's char kway teow.
14
Uncle Roger: Char kway. Teow. Not bad pronunciation.
15
Not bad. Niece and nephew. This is the first time a white guy ever made char kway teow on YouTube. Historic moment.
16
Okay, so this.
17
Nick: Here is basically the Malaysian version of pad Thai.
18
So I'm not shooting completely in the dark here, but I have never tasted nor made this dish.
19
Uncle Roger: I'm gonna treat lobster like my ex-wife.
20
Okay. Lobster. Thank you for your service.
21
And now it's dead.
22
Nick:What is this?
23
Uncle Roger:That Chinese sausage.
24
Nick:It smells very strong.
25
I'll just slice in a nice angle like this.
26
Now that my sausages are prepped out, I want to start cooking my cockles.
27
These are beautiful small clams from New Zealand.
28
Uncle Roger: That had to get ingredient. Good job.
29
Chef Rush: It's been five minutes and no cooking yet.
30
Uncle Roger:Relax, Chef Rush. Cooking about preparation.
31
You don't want premature cooking.
32
You know what I mean? Okay, now the water boiling.
33
I'm gonna put lobster in there, put it back on steam for maybe 6 to 8 minutes.
34
Nick:6 to 8 minutes? Doesn't sound like enough time to me.
35
Uncle Roger: Steam for ten minutes.
36
Nick: These cockles are going to cook very quickly, so I don't want to fully cook them through now. I just want them to begin to open up and I'll finish cooking them in the wok.
37
Uncle Roger: While lobster cooking, we gonna make the brown butter.
38
Nick: The brown butter is a very difficult part of this lobster recipe and one that I'm wondering whether or not Uncle Roger will struggle with.
39
I know he's an uncle, but making brown butter takes precision.
40
Uncle Roger: Brown butter that brown. Very easy.
41
It's a bit of MSG in there.
42
Put some milk powder in there.
43
Chef Rush: Ten minutes down. You hurry up.
44
Ten minutes left.
45
Uncle Roger: Don't worry, Chef Rush. This lobster roll make.
46
I'm gonna put protein powder in there.
47
Your favorite.
48
Chef Rush: You got 20 minutes left.
49
Nick: My cockles have already opened up, so I'm going to take these off the heat right now.
50
We'll finish cooking them later.
51
Let's check in on Uncle Roger's lobster.
52
The one thing I'll say is he's put way too much water in the pot and the lobster is not looking good. He also left the rubber bands on, which is going to give terrible flavor to the lobster roll.
53
Uncle Roger: What you doing?
54
Nick: You left the bands.
55
Oh. Uncle Roger: The lobster gonna taste like rubber.
56
Uncle Roger really stuck this time.
57
Nick: That is a technique that I have never seen before.
58
Uncle Roger: It's not technique. Don't learn from this.
59
Nick: Because I don't have very much time right now. I am going to cook both of my noodles in the same pot.
60
I don't know if Uncle Roger is going to be upset at me for this, but I think the rice noodles might take just a moment longer to cook, so I'm going to put those in first.
61
Now for the chow mein noodles.
62
With the system I'm using, I'm going to cover the top with this strainer.
63
Then in go my chow mein noodles.
64
Uncle Roger: I think butter, nice and brown.
65
Tasting the brown butter.
66
Uncle Roger f*ucked up again.
67
Nick: Uncle Roger, are you okay?
68
Uncle Roger:Yeah.
69
I undercooked the brown butter.
70
The lobster going to taste horrible.
71
Sorry, Uncle Nick.
72
Nick: This is the most famous dish from all of New England.
73
You have to do it properly.
74
Uncle Roger: The New England ancestor crying.
75
Oh, no. Uncle Nick, do you have another lobster?
76
Nick:What? Uncle Roger:This one overcooked?
77
Nick:No, it's not. Uncle Roger:What? Nick:That's not done.
78
Uncle Roger:How do you tell? Nick:When it's all the way nice and red, like this color here, the kind of lighter red color.
79
Then it's done.
80
Uncle Roger: But you want to leave it slightly undercooked because you're going to cook a bit longer in brown butter?
81
Nick:No. Uncle Roger: No?
82
Okay. A little bit more.
83
Nick: I've already salted my water, but I also want to add just a touch of MSG into that, just to give that some nice extra Uncle Roger inspired flavor.
84
Uncle Roger:Good, good. Nick:I'm going to take these noodles out and rest them here.
85
Uncle Roger, what do you think of my method of cooking both noodles in one?
86
Uncle Roger: I think that noodle overcooked.
87
Nick: I think so too.
88
Uncle Roger: We all f*cked up today.
89
Okay... Nick: I'm going to cook these rice noodles for the second time.
90
This time I need to watch more carefully.
91
I will say the lobster actually looks pretty well cooked.
92
Uncle Roger: Oh, thank you.
93
Nick: Good job. Good job.
94
Uncle Roger: Trial and error.
95
Chef Rush: 15 minutes down. 15 minutes to go.
96
This better be perfect.
97
Uncle Roger: This is the scariest judge ever.
98
Oh, forgot Ice bath.
99
Ice bath. Nick: And speaking of ice bath, I'll rinse them under cold water now to stop the cooking process.
100
Uncle Roger: Uncle Nick, keep copying me.
101
Hurry up, Uncle Roger.
102
Gonna be slow on purpose.
103
So Nick, overcook his noodle.
104
Nick: I'm not cooking these noodles again.
105
Uncle Roger: Sabotage. Sabotage.
106
This lobster claw.
107
Pull and twist.
108
Remember, this is lobster.
109
You always have to take it out.
110
This lobster full of.
111
Nick: The female lobster. Those are eggs.
112
Uncle Roger: Those are eggs.
113
Oh, okay. Don't matter.
114
You don't want to eat egg anyway.
115
Nick: You know my favorite part?
116
What? Uncle Roger: Let's see if Uncle Roger remember how to do this.
117
How do you open the claw?
118
You make it look so easy.
119
Nick:Stand back.
120
Nick: That is a beautiful lobster claw.
121
You should save that for the top of your roll.
122
Take the tail. Tail?
123
That's not the tail.
124
Uncle Roger: Oh, no.
125
Nick: Do you remember what I taught you?
126
Thank you. Uncle Roger: Crack it open.
127
Nick: Nope. I'll give you a hint.
128
Fork. Uncle Roger: Ah. Okay.
129
Okay. Where is the fork? Where is the fork?
130
So you step it and scoop it out.
131
Paul Twist.
132
Nick: Leverage. Beansprouts? Where are my beansprouts?
133
Uncle Roger: Why are you wasting food Uncle Nick?
134
Chef Rush: Beansprouts. You're welcome.
135
Nick: Thank you, chef.
136
I'm so scared of him.
137
It is finally time for me to cook.
138
And I'm going as quickly as I can because my uncle title is in the hands now of Chef Rush, and he is hungry.
139
My wok is very nice and well seasoned, and I think Uncle Roger would be proud.
140
Manny: Uncle Roger, I've ever been proud of Nick?
141
Uncle Roger: Every day. Every day.
142
I'm proud of him. You know, he just wins.
143
Streamy. You know what I mean?
144
Mayonnaise in the bowl. Put the lobster in there.
145
Brown butter go in.
146
Nick: Perfect. Brown butter. Good, good, good.
147
Perfect Brown butter.
148
Uncle Roger: Mix them all together, sprinkle a bit more MSG, squeeze of lemon, finely chop some celery because Uncle Roger liked the crunch in there.
149
Mhm. Taste test.
150
Mhm. Nick: Once that pork lard is hot and goes my Chinese sausage which I'm going to cook for about two minutes, get it nice and crispy.
151
Do we have.
152
Uncle Roger: Some salt here. Salt. Salt?
153
Nick: I sure hope we have salt.
154
Uncle Roger: Cooking channel with no salt.
155
Nick: And own a salt company.
156
Oh, yeah. Once. That's nice and crispy.
157
I'm going to move that off to the side.
158
In goes my egg. Let's get that nice and fluffy.
159
We didn't have any garlic chives, so instead I'm using these green onions in they go.
160
Chef Rush: Less than ten minutes left.
161
Uncle Roger: Oh, no, no, no.
162
Usually I just talk on my channel.
163
Today I actually have to cook.
164
I don't like this.
165
Nick: Uncle Roger's recipe says five peeled green prawns.
166
I'm going to go off script and leave them with the shells on.
167
Uncle Roger:What?
168
No. How are you going to eat prawn shells?
169
Nick: Extra flavor.
170
Uncle Roger: Okay. Okay.
171
Nick: These are going to cook very fast, so I do not want to let them go for too long.
172
And these ones are beautiful.
173
Almost as beautiful as Uncle Roger's ex-wife.
174
Uncle Roger: What? Have you seen the Lord of the ring?
175
She looked like Gollum. That's terrible.
176
Nick: Can't forget about the whites of the onions, which I'll add in now and then.
177
I know that when I add my sauce in, I want to put it onto the side of my pan.
178
See all those flames giving us that extra flavor?
179
Then I'll go off script again and give a little bit of that water from the cockles.
180
And of course, all of those cockles themselves.
181
Uncle Roger: No cockle is supposed to take out of Shell.
182
Nick: I like it like that.
183
Uncle Roger: Are you trying to make paella.
184
Nick: Now and then to finish in.
185
Go. My noodles. Wow, this looks good.
186
It's time to taste. I still want a little bit more seasoning.
187
Uncle Roger, come show me your tossing.
188
Uncle Roger: You put too much in there, you know.
189
Nick: Oh, that's why he's the uncle.
190
Uncle Roger: Don't distract me. I'm trying to finish up your lobster roll.
191
Chef Rush: Two minutes left.
192
They better be on the plate.
193
Uncle Roger: Chef Rush is going to love this.
194
Uncle Nick going down today.
195
Nick: I noticed this dish was traditionally served on a banana leaf.
196
So I'm going to try to impress the judge today by placing it over this beautiful leaf as a prop. I really hope he likes it.
197
Chef Rush:Five, four.
198
Three, two, one.
199
Hands up! Nick: Woo! Oh, my God.
200
Uncle Roger: What do you think?
201
Chef Rush: It's a little small for me.
202
Uncle Roger: What? It's for one normal people portion.
203
You're not.
204
Chef Rush: Normal. No, that's true.
205
Yeah. Time to see who's the better chef.
206
First up, we have Uncle Roger's lobster roll.
207
It looks pretty solid.
208
Roll is toasted, looks juicy.
209
It's a little bit rubbery. Not much.
210
Could use a little bit more sauce to go along with it because the bread is soaking it up. Not the best lobster roll I ever had, but definitely not the worst.
211
Next up, Nick's Char-kway-teow.
212
Char kway. Uncle Roger: Teow.
213
Chef Rush: Char kway. Teow.
214
Uncle Roger: Char kway. Teow.
215
Chef Rush: Nick's noodle dish.
216
I love the little fake leaf.
217
I love the bowl.
218
I love these whole prawns.
219
It smells very flavorful.
220
I'm getting a lot of flavor profiles popping me in my mouth.
221
A little spicy. Beautiful looking prime.
222
Okay. That was melt in your mouth.
223
They would cook perfectly on this one.
224
I think I've made my decision.
225
Chef Nick. Uncle Roger, after tasting both dishes.
226
I've decided. It's a tie.
227
Chef Rush: So I need more from both of you.
228
You guys, when I make fried rice.
229
Oh, my God. Ten minutes on the clock starts now.
230
Uncle Roger: Let's see who can make better fried rice.
231
Nick: But it just so happens that I have a trick under my sleeve today.
232
You see, I'm going to try to beat Uncle Roger with his own worst enemy.
233
Uncle Roger: What is that? No, that Jamie Oliver Fried rice recipe.
234
Oh, Uncle Roger don't like this Jamie Oliver recipe.
235
Will he make our ancestor cry again?
236
Look at this.
237
If Nick beat me with Jamie Oliver recipe, Uncle Roger gonna quit.
238
Chef Rush: You quit fucking around.
239
You got eight minutes left.
240
Nick: The great thing about Jamie Oliver's fried rice recipe is it only has one, two, three, four, five ingredients.
241
This I can definitely do in just ten minutes.
242
Uncle Roger: Egg fried rice. Uncle Roger.
243
Make too many time. Now I'm gonna challenge myself with new technique.
244
First, we whisk the egg to whisk it to a really, really fine, very important step.
245
Make it even finer.
246
Use the colander.
247
Nick: I know Uncle Roger doesn't like Jamie Oliver, and especially doesn't like this recipe.
248
And that's why I'm using it here today.
249
Uncle Roger: Well, you want to torture Uncle Roger like that?
250
Nick: I know it's not traditional, but I'm going to follow this recipe.
251
Other than one change today, I'm going to add just a touch of MSG.
252
Uncle Roger: Msg cannot save Jamie Oliver's food.
253
He doesn't even.
254
Nick: Have any soy sauce in here.
255
Uncle Roger: Yeah, that's the problem.
256
Speaker6: Okay, maybe two changes now.
257
Uncle Roger: Niece and nephew, pay attention.
258
This super cool technique with right hand and pour egg in there in thin trade with left hand.
259
Nick: What on earth is Uncle Roger doing with his eggs?
260
Uncle Roger: Egg shred free.
261
Oh, have you seen this before?
262
Niece and nephew.
263
Nice and crispy.
264
Impress. Impress.
265
Nick:Hm. He doesn't put the eggs in first.
266
Why doesn't he put the eggs in first?
267
Uncle Roger:I don't know.
268
Ask him. Ask him.
269
Nick: My eggs are in, so I'll let those get nice and fluffy and then begin to mix them up. I actually think I'm going to be able to make this taste pretty good.
270
Chef Rush: 4.5 minutes left.
271
Uncle Roger: Uncle Roger waste too much time making the fancy egg.
272
Nick:My egg has gotten nice and fluffy and it's looking really, really good.
273
Once the egg is cooked, I'll go in with some of my day old rice.
274
Uncle Roger: What that hate crime.
275
Hate crime. Youtube Cancel Uncle Nick.
276
Nick: Time to move this rice around a little bit.
277
And while I do it, I'll hit it with just a little bit of MSG.
278
Uncle Roger: I know what you're thinking, Uncle Nick.
279
So far ahead of you.
280
It's easy to be fast if everything wrong.
281
Some sexy spring onion.
282
Nice and long cut at the bias.
283
See, this is one of my favorite Asian ingredients.
284
Chinese sausage. Since Nick have this from his last challenge, Uncle Roger gonna use this. Oh, so this is vegetable oil.
285
Don't be like Jamie Oliver and use olive oil.
286
Garlic, go in. Shallot. Chinese sausage.
287
Go in and you start to get fragrant crack egg at.
288
Nick: I just wanna admit it... I just wanna...
289
At this point, I'm...
290
Chef Rush: Two minutes left.
291
Uncle Roger: Oh, Uncle Roger don't know if I'm gonna finish.
292
Nick: One of the final steps of Jamie Oliver's recipe is to take this tofu and then crumble this around my whole wok.
293
I don't understand this part at all.
294
I'm also going to toss in a few green onions.
295
And at this point, we really need to get this on the plate.
296
Uncle Roger: Almost done. Toss a few more time.
297
Chef Rush: Get it on a plate.
298
Nick: I haven't cooked this fast since MasterChef.
299
Five, four.
300
Chef Rush: Three, two, one.
301
Hands up. Uncle Roger: Initially, Uncle Roger worried.
302
Uncle Nick going to follow Jamie Oliver recipe 100%.
303
But he takes all the mistake Jamie Oliver make and then improve with proper technique and ingredients. Maybe he actually stand a chance.
304
Nick: It was so bad I couldn't follow it.
305
Chef Rush: This is Chef Nick.
306
New and improved.
307
Jamie Oliver's fried rice.
308
Nice color profile.
309
Looks good. Smell of green onions.
310
It's melting in my mouth presentation wise.
311
I love that he had the little playfulness to put it into a to go container.
312
Overall, it's a very solid fried rice.
313
I don't know if Uncle Roger gives Jamie Oliver enough credit.
314
So with that said, we all know no one makes fried rice better than Uncle Roger.
315
So we got to see if he brought his A-game today.
316
Presentation on it is top notch.
317
I love the shredded eggs.
318
That takes a lot of skill.
319
Added some protein.
320
Now let's taste lots and lots and lots of flavor.
321
He's not all hype. He knows his way around some fried rice.
322
This one's going to be tough.
323
The winner of the day's challenge is.
324
Nick. Uncle Nick.
325
No. Nick: I can't.
326
Uncle Roger: Give me all of a fight.
327
Right.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
