Pratica di Shadowing: 100 Egg Yolk Pasta - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Creazione lezione...
1
We're gonna make a truffle pasta today with 100 egg yolks.
2
Yes, you heard me right, 100 egg yolks.
3
Just the thought of separating out all those eggs to get that kind of scares me a little bit.
4
But we are here right now on this channel to do crazy things with food, so why not do that?
5
But in the pasta, I wanna buff it up a little bit more.
6
And I actually wanna use an ingredient that quite frankly, I don't really like that much, but that goes along really well with truffles.
7
A few mushrooms.
8
Now, wait a second.
9
If you hear the word mushrooms and you immediately hate it, just hear me out for a quick moment.
10
I'm going to use the best of the best when it comes to mushrooms.
11
Truffles, of course, you have to consider the king of all mushrooms.
12
And that's almost a separate category.
13
But there's another mushroom that's extremely, extremely fancy and precious.
14
And that is the morel mushroom.
15
So first, I want to take you on a little ride and we'll go grab a few.
16
So we are on route to go get some mushrooms.
17
We're doing 100 egg yolk pasta today.
18
That's crazy, first of all.
19
I wanted to give myself some buffer space.
20
But the 100 egg yolks are going to break a couple, naturally, right?
21
So I want to make sure that I'm kind of prepared for that.
22
But I did want to go get some nice mushrooms just to really be able to make some.
23
Oh, I went the wrong way.
24
I went the wrong way.
25
Look at the GPS.
26
Look at that GPS.
27
But I figured we'd get some really good mushrooms, truffles.
28
I already have a truffle pate, a truffle tapenade that's extremely good.
29
So we're going to go see what we can find at this marketplace.
30
I don't know what we're going to find, to be totally honest.
31
But I really want to look for those super, super fresh mushrooms.
32
I like bringing you with me to go see what we're going to find.
33
So let's see what we can get and we'll head back and make some ridiculous 108 yolk pasta.
34
Yeah.
35
All right, so we're on our way to find some chives first
36
because we need something green to put on top of that pasta.
37
All right, we found our chives.
38
A little bit of truffle butter too because we got to coat all the pasta in that truffle butter.
39
And then we just need a few mushrooms, so I'm just going to pick like a nice selection of a bunch of different kinds here.
40
The nicest ones we can find.
41
Thank you.
42
We're going.
43
okay we were leaving the store but they have such nice flowers here
44
and i figure i might as well get some for isabel
45
because she always tells me the dishes
46
so i'm gonna help her out all right one i picked
47
some really good ones thank you we got our food we got our flowers
48
and we are back home to make the craziest pasta you've ever seen perfect length away from home
49
and check the temperature perfect perfect i'm not sure
50
if you guys can tell but i get really really kind of nervous and embarrassed filming around people.
51
I'm not really sure why.
52
It's kind of like the same thing
53
when people come up to me in public
54
and oftentimes I just get kind of embarrassed because I'm just kind of like a shy, quiet person.
55
But we still try to go into different stores
56
and get some tidbits because oftentimes it's just so much fun talking to the people in there.
57
And I also want you to be able to join in on going
58
and getting all those ingredients that we're using for all these videos.
59
Cause it's just fun to be able to go and see that behind the scenes aspect of everything.
60
So with that said, we are almost home and we will soon be making some delicious pasta.
61
All right, we're back.
62
And just like that, we have a big handful of morels.
63
But I want to show you one of these beauties up close.
64
As you can see, they're extremely porous.
65
And normally, you're not going to find these things anywhere.
66
In fact, oftentimes, I have my mushroom guy.
67
That's what I call him, and he is awesome.
68
Literally go out in the woods and forage for morels.
69
And other mushrooms, too.
70
Now, normally, you're only ever going to find these dried in the market unless you get super lucky.
71
But they also happen to be super expensive.
72
In addition to these beautiful morels, we have what are called wood ear mushrooms.
73
And the craziest part is that they literally look exactly like ears.
74
Yeah.
75
Most things when given a certain name don't actually look that much like that exact thing.
76
But I always find it crazy that these mushrooms literally do look exactly like human ears.
77
Perhaps what's cooler is they also have this really unique texture.
78
Almost something that reminds me a little bit of kelp.
79
But they are delicious in pasta.
80
This right here is what I'm going to call my egg palace.
81
Most of you have probably never seen this many eggs.
82
And if you have, okay, congratulations.
83
You're better than all of us.
84
But if you haven't, this is probably around 150 eggs.
85
I didn't count exactly.
86
I just wanted to give myself a little bit of buffer room if I break a few yolks on the way.
87
Because keep in mind, I am about to have to separate all of these eggs into yolks to get our 100-yolk pasta.
88
Then we're basically going to measure it out with the flour
89
and make this massive fat hunk of dough that's going to rest in the fridge for a little bit.
90
And then give us this beautiful truffle mushroom pasta.
91
But for now, I don't want to make any puns or anything, but let's get cracking.
92
All right, so they're gonna be timing me right now.
93
See how fast I can go through 100 eggs to start I'll say
94
that this is where we're gonna put the yolk
95
So I'm gonna add a little bit of olive oil so
96
that nothing sticks
97
because whenever you're separating out egg yolks You want to lubricate them just a little bit
98
so they're not sticking together and then break it So without further ado,
99
let's get the timer going I I Save all these egg whites.
100
Oh my god.
101
I broke the first one.
102
I broke the first one.
103
Horrible, horrible start by me.
104
Okay.
105
I don't know.
106
I broke the second one.
107
I can't go this fast.
108
I can't go this fast.
109
Keep in mind, I can eat all these eggs that are over here.
110
But it's just sort of more of a...
111
Alright.
112
So, first egg done.
113
One.
114
Okay.
115
50. Let's go.
116
My hands are so cold.
117
Can you cut the cameras for a second?
118
Yeah.
119
Yeah.
120
Thanks.
121
Guys i'm just kidding this is water but let's do a little half-time checking
122
while I go through these eggs
123
so as you can see I've done 50 of these eggs
124
and come closer here I'll show you how crazy this is look at this bowl of yolks this is
125
so soft and jiggly oh my gosh look at
126
that that's just all yolks
127
that is 50 egg yolks right there it is crazy it's
128
a cool sight I almost wish I could kind of wiggle my fingers in there
129
and just kind of move around in there but I don't want to break them.
130
So I want you to see this.
131
I want you to see the action that's going down.
132
What you can do with these over here actually is string them all out at the end, get all those shells out basically.
133
It's a really good kind of hack. And
134
that way you can make a really good omelet scrambled eggs
135
without having to like think about sorting out your shells in a separate bowl.
136
This is a really quick way to separate then string it all out at the end and make an omelet.
137
So good little tip.
138
Let's keep rolling.
139
99 right here.
140
Egg 99.
141
Look at this fat, full bowl of eggs.
142
100 egg yolks.
143
All right.
144
Now that we have those 100 egg yolks all measured out, we're going to go a little sciencey on you for a second.
145
So let's drop this empty bowl identical to what those egg yolks are onto her scale.
146
And I see here that it's 1,030 grams.
147
And I'm then going to tear the scale to account for that bowl that the egg yolks are in again, swap out those bowls.
148
And I find that this is 1,800 grams or so.
149
So because we have about 1,800 grams of eggs here, we're going to use about 3,600 grams of flour since you want to typically do about 50% hydration.
150
So I'll swap this out.
151
Now put our original bowl back on and begin to measure out 3,600 grams of flour.
152
If you don't know, that's a lot of flour.
153
And after I have about 1,600 in here and 2,000 grams in here, we've got all the flour we need.
154
To make our pasta, you know I like to use the classic Italian grandma well method.
155
And that essentially means dumping our flour out into the center of our cutting board.
156
But don't forget, we have another bowl.
157
So we'll be dumping all the flour out onto the middle of that cutting board into this massive, massive mound, almost like some sort of anthill, keeping everything nice and even.
158
And then I'll take this very same bowl and push it down right into the middle of the well, slowly rotating to make a nice little shape in the middle to put our egg yolks.
159
And now very, very gently into the middle of our well, we put those a hundred egg yolks, letting them fall on top of each other just like that.
160
And by the way, look how perfectly all of those fit.
161
Normally I'd whisk this up with a fork, but this is way too small.
162
So we're going ditch the fork and replace it with a whisk.
163
Time to get crazy.
164
That is unreal.
165
Look at that yolk.
166
That's the coolest thing ever.
167
So the idea here is that we're going to whisk this up until all those yolks are nice and fully combined.
168
And when I say we really needed a whisk, I'm not kidding.
169
We really needed a whisk.
170
Egg yolks are extremely fatty and thick.
171
Almost as thick as me in fact.
172
So it does really require some elbow grease.
173
Once we've whisked all those yolks up, we're then gonna start bringing some flour in from the outside of our massive well.
174
This is when things will get pretty difficult to stir.
175
But because of how much yolk there is here, we have to be really careful not to break the well.
176
So I'm gonna come around the edges with my hands and help guide everything right into the center.
177
As long as you're really focused at this step in the process, it'll be fine.
178
But in this case, I'm making so much pasta
179
that I have this volcano that will essentially explode all over my kitchen if I break the edges.
180
So I have to be really careful here.
181
The more I stir, the thicker it'll get, and then it'll be harder and harder to stir it all together.
182
But eventually, it'll get thick enough that it's not going to spill everywhere and I can just combine everything all at once.
183
At this point, scrape off your whisk and prepare to get those hands dirty
184
because it's been combined enough that it's not going to run off our table.
185
Now I'm lifting all of this dough in on top of itself, pressing and pulling and lifting and dropping.
186
My entire cutting board is going to be full of this beautiful, beautiful pasta dough.
187
But this is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever done on this cutting board.
188
So it makes me really happy.
189
At this point, we're pulling everything together, slowly bringing it closer and closer to that uniform pasta dough that we're looking for.
190
You should see that beautiful yellow color from the egg yolk start to come out.
191
All right, well, I've been eating this for quite a while
192
and I wanted to turn off the video just to give myself a breather.
193
You know, I've been breathing pretty heavily at this point and it's a fat piece of dough.
194
I mean, this is just like, this is the biggest piece of dough you could ever imagine.
195
But the real thing here is that I'm not going to be able to do all of this right now.
196
If I were to do this on camera, we would not have daylight anymore.
197
So what we're going to do right now, we're going to hack off a nice, beautiful end piece with my bench scraper, set this big part aside.
198
And believe it or not, I have a lot of neighbors in my building here who would love some fresh pasta dough.
199
So once I actually make my video later tonight, I'll go back, roll out the rest of that dough and hand it out to a few lucky people.
200
For now, I just want to knead this dough until it's really nice and smooth.
201
And you can see that already just a few minutes in, we're getting that beautiful elasticity that we're looking for here.
202
Perhaps more importantly, it's also getting that beautiful yellow vibrancy that we want in a nice egg yolk dough.
203
Once we've kneaded this for about eight minutes or so into a beautiful nice dough, we're going to plop it down, cover it up with plastic wrap, and rest it in the fridge for about a half an hour until it's had some time to relax.
204
While we're letting that pasta rest, we're going to wash off our mushrooms.
205
So let's pour our morels and our wood ears into some crisp, cool water.
206
We don't want to wash these for too long because they get a little bit soggy and oversaturated, but we also really want to rinse them enough that we can get out all that dirt on the morels.
207
Because I'm sure you can tell by just looking at them that tons of dirt can get stuck inside these cavities here.
208
And can you see how murky this water is just from them lightly touching it?
209
I mean, these come straight off the ground in forests.
210
So it's pretty understandable that they'd have a heck of a lot of dirt.
211
Once those morels have been rinsed off a little bit, we're gonna cut them right down the middle, getting these beautiful little pieces that will pair perfectly with our pasta dish.
212
If you're so inclined, you can always give them another rinse after you open them up like this.
213
But I'm gonna be searing them at super high temperature, so I'm not worried about anything at this point.
214
Just a general rule with mushrooms is that you should be pretty careful with them when it comes to rinsing them thoroughly.
215
Once our mushrooms are all laid out, I'm going to pick all them up and get ready to sear them off.
216
Now for cooking our mushrooms, I'm going to go in with a big spoonful of white truffle butter.
217
The butter itself is also homemade, which you already know is my go-to thing to do.
218
And now, once that's melted down, I'm going to toss in all my mushrooms, followed immediately by a nice sprinkle of salt.
219
Now we'll let those get nice and cooked through, fully coated in all that beautiful butter, and perhaps a little bit crispy here and there.
220
Once those mushrooms are all nice and crispy and cooked, let's set them aside.
221
Now to make our actual beautiful cream sauce, we're going to go in with a little bit more of that truffle butter.
222
Once that's melted, we're going to go in with a nice little sprinkle of all-purpose flour, and then mix that up until it's a nice smooth paste, creating what we call a roux.
223
That's R-O-U-X.
224
Essentially what we're doing here is making something that's going to help us make a thicker sauce that'll stick to our pasta.
225
Once that roux is thickened up a little bit, we're going to add in a little bit of our half and half, or heavy cream, and we're just going to stir that around until it begins to thicken just a little bit, which should happen in just a minute or so.
226
Once that begins to thicken up, I'll grate in some fresh Parmesan cheese from the massive 82 pound wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano
227
that I've recently brought in from Italy.
228
I know that sounds kind of crazy, but all my amazing subscribers already know the story behind that video.
229
Definitely go check that one out if you haven't seen it.
230
Once I've grated in enough Parmesan to make it nice and thickened, I'm going to add some pure minced black truffle to my sauce and mix that up until it's evenly dispersed.
231
The smells coming off of the sauce right now are absolutely incredible.
232
And I can confidently tell you right now
233
that this is going to make probably one of the best pastas we've ever tasted in this kitchen.
234
But for now, our pasta sauce and our mushrooms are ready to go, so it's time to do that pasta.
235
Once we take that dough out of the fridge, let's unroll it and appreciate how smooth it is.
236
Our next step here after pressing out that dough is going to be to flour just a little bit here, then press it out so that we can push it through our machine.
237
Sometimes it's good to get a rolling pin, but just like rolling out the dough, I like to do it by hand.
238
Once we've shaped this dough into a nice elongated piece, really pressing and stretching it out, we can flour our machine and then begin rolling it through.
239
It's not going to look very pretty after the first go around, but that's why I like to fold it up and put it through a couple times at first.
240
Eventually, you're going to start to get this really nice smooth dough.
241
And as long as you continue flouring and lubricating everything, it'll go through smoothly.
242
Once you've gone through the lowest setting on your pasta maker a couple of times, go ahead and change the dial to make it a little bit thinner.
243
Then, place it through again.
244
After you've gone through a number of times, your pasta sheet should be at your desired thickness, and you can be ready to cut it and cook it.
245
Once that's all nice and laid out on the cutting board, flour it up just a little bit more, and today we're going to do something special and cut our pasta by hand.
246
I want those beautiful, luxurious sheets of pasta here, so I'm going to gently cut nice pieces out of it and then make beautiful, thick strips of pasta, just like this.
247
Something about having thick pasta like this when you have beautiful mushrooms, truffles, and other things makes it seem so much more incredible to me.
248
And that's exactly why I want to make it this way today.
249
Once I've cut a nice selection of beautiful strips from my pasta, which don't have to be the same shapes and sizes, but at least relatively similar, we're ready to go ahead and cook.
250
Before we drop in that pasta, we'll put a bunch of salt to get that water salty like the ocean.
251
Once all that salt's in there, the pasta will actually get seasoned when we go to cook it.
252
So now when the water comes to a boil again, just like we see here, we drop in those beautiful sheets of pasta.
253
Give your water a quick twirl to let it spin around and not let any of that pasta stick together, and then we just let this cook for a few moments.
254
When our pasta is almost done and all that starch has rinsed off into the water, I'm going to take a spoonful or two
255
and drop it right into my truffle sauce to thin it out a little bit
256
and also get some of that pasta water incorporated in our final dish.
257
That is an absolute must when it comes to making pasta.
258
Never waste your pasta water.
259
Now Now that my pasta has been fully cooked, I'll bring this back and strain it.
260
This last step here doesn't require much.
261
We're really just combining everything.
262
So first we go in with just a splash of olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of our pan.
263
Then we'll go in with those beautiful mushrooms, follow that with our amazing truffle sauce, and last but not least, our pasta.
264
Then we'll gently fold and lift this over itself until it's nice and well combined, making sure that all that pasta is beautifully coated with our sauce,
265
and being as delicate as we possibly can to not mess up any of those beautiful strands of pasta.
266
At this point, your pasta is ready to plate.
267
To plate our pasta, I'll twirl it around a little bit
268
and drop it right down in the center of my black plate.
269
That white on black contrast from this pasta on the plate is absolutely gorgeous.
270
Make sure you stack high and tight because when you plate, you don't want everything to be an absolute mess.
271
And don't forget to top it with a few of those beautifully large wood ear mushrooms.
272
Then we're going to come on with a little bit of that parmesan cheese, letting that slowly melt over the top of our pasta.
273
And last but not least, we have some edible gold leaf, which quite simply begs to be placed over a dish this good.
274
I think it's safe to say that this right here is worthy of being an 100-yolk pasta.
275
Okay, we had to bring in Isabel to try the pasta
276
because I feel like you guys always get mad when I'm trying my own food and then just raving about it.
277
So it's really not fair for me to do that anymore.
278
So, Isabel, crazy pasta right here.
279
It's 100-yolk pasta in this.
280
I mean, there's not 100 egg yolks in that, but it's pretty good.
281
Big bite.
282
very good what's it taste like pretty creamy i like the gold the mushrooms are a little strong
283
but they're really good i like them a lot and they're kind of strong but it's really good
284
you gotta like mushrooms can you believe
285
that i feel like you really gotta like mushrooms
286
but it's good i like it come on the mushrooms are very strong
287
but it's really good hmm maybe I just got a lot
288
of mushroom okay also got is both really nice flowers
289
because she always helps us do so many dishes
290
so here's your flowers how do we do even better even better oh they smell They smell too much like mushrooms.
291
Stop.
292
I like them a lot.
293
In all seriousness, Isabel does help a ton with dishes and around here after we make massive messes every day.
294
So I do want to give her a huge thanks for that.
295
I do want to give it another try
296
because I feel like it's kind of fair for me to give it another shot here.
297
Because I feel like I do want to take a deep dive myself and see what the flavor profiles are like here.
298
Honestly, this is the kind of pasta that if I went to a restaurant and had it, it would be a 10 out of 10.
299
Those pasta sheets are very clearly fresh.
300
They're creamy.
301
They're delicious.
302
They're beautiful.
303
They're soft.
304
They're velvety in your mouth.
305
And all that mushroom is incredible.
306
In fact, I think it just kind of builds on itself.
307
You can have so many different bites out of this one dish right here.
308
And yes, the edible gold on top is a nice little touch, but it tastes like nothing.
309
The real thing I'm concerned about is how much beautiful mushroom flavor is inside this dish.
310
Like I said, I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but having all that truffle throughout this is incredible.
311
This is a knockout dish and it's incredibly, incredibly good.
312
In the meantime, I hope you loved the video.
313
This was a really fun one to make.
314
I have a lot of pasta dough left to hand out to some lucky people today.

Prime impressioni: perché questo video è ottimo per la pratica di conversazione in inglese

Questo video non è solo una ricetta folle per la pasta con 100 tuorli d'uovo, ma anche un'ottima occasione per esercitare l'abilità a parlare inglese. Il dialogo è spontaneo, con una lingua colloquiale e espressioni quotidiane che rendono la pratica realistica. Ascoltare come il narratore condivide emozioni (nervosismo, entusiasmo) e dettagli del giorno (sbagliare strada, comprare fiori per Isabel) aiuta a capire il contesto e imitare l'intonazione naturale, fondamentali per il shadow speech.

Scomponiamo il dialogo: frasi naturali da analizzare

  • "Just the thought of separating out all those eggs to get that kind of scares me a little bit." Usa "kind of" per attenuare l'emozione, una struttura molto comune nel parlato. Imparare a usare tali espressioni rende il discorso meno formale e più fluido.
  • "I'm not sure if you guys can tell, but I get really really kind of nervous and embarrassed filming around people." La ripetizione di "really" e l'uso di "you guys" creano una connessione con l'ascoltatore, tipica delle conversazioni informali. È un esempio perfetto di come la lingua parlata si distacca dalla scrittura.
  • "We got our food, we got our flowers, and we are back home to make the craziest pasta you've ever seen." La struttura semplice con "we got" e la serie di azioni (ottenero cibo, fiori, tornare a casa) mostra come organizzare le idee in modo chiaro e diretto, fondamentale per la pratica di conversazione in inglese.

Una routine di pratica: shadowing per migliorare la pronuncia

Per esercitarti con questo video, prova il shadowing: ripeti le frasi del narratore immediatamente dopo averle sentite, cercando di imitare l'intonazione, la velocità e l'accento. Usa un shadowing site o semplicemente un cellulare per registrare te stesso e confrontarti con l'originale. Ripeti parti come la sezione dove parla di comprare le erbe e i funghi: le frasi brevi e il flusso continuo sono ideali per esercitare la fluibilità. Dopo alcuni tentativi, noterai che le espressioni colloquiali diventeranno più facili da usare nella tua conversazione quotidiana. Imparare l'inglese con i video è divertente e efficace: ogni dettaglio del dialogo è un'opportunità per crescere!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
