Creating lesson...
1
Pasta, cream, bacon What?
2
Cream?
3
Carbonara with cream and bacon Haiyaa, Jamie, you messed up Asian food so many times Now you want to mess up Italian food, is it?
4
Carbonara is like Italian version of egg fried rice
5
Because everybody thinks they can make it But so many people mess it up Hi guys,
6
we're gonna make spaghetti carbonara Here we go again Cheese, bacon, what's not to love right?
7
But it's really controversial I want to give you what I think is the most authentic recipe
8
So first up guys Authentic Jamie Oliver and Authentic Those two completely opposite concept It like sun versus moon
9
My ex-wife versus nice person I only need five ingredients Guanciale Guanciale okay Cheek of Oh fuiyoh
10
This is the first time Uncle Roger is saying fuiyoh for Jamie This one guanciale correct ingredient Okay, I thought he was going to use bacon.
11
Earlier he said he used bacon.
12
Pasta, cream, bacon.
13
See it's all about the fat.
14
It's salted, it's got pepper, it's dried and it's aged.
15
Of course it's similar to smoked bacon.
16
No, it's not similar.
17
Actually, but you can see this is quite...
18
One smoked, one cured.
19
Try and get them to not cut off the fat.
20
Smoked bacon is going to overpower the whole cup of Nara.
21
Then most people use Parmesan.
22
But actually, the more classic is Pecorino Romano What?
23
Cheese, it's crum- Correct again?
24
Jimmy Olive Oil getting two things in a row correct?
25
Is this what they call Mercury Retrograde?
26
I can't believe it's salty, free range organic egg Pasta Wait, what, what, what, what?
27
Free range organic egg Pasta Who put egg on table like that?
28
Why you smash egg on chopping pot?
29
Uncle Roger never seen anyone do this before, what is this weird behaviour?
30
Just why you trying to get the egg to stand upright?
31
This way of putting egg down, it almost feels AI generated Pasta Pasta fine, spaghetti ok, black pepper correct?
32
Garlic No garlic, no no no no no,
33
wrong Two hands, twist it into the water Pull back a little bit That look like pasta portion for two people.
34
Carbonara sauce it make from egg.
35
One egg for two people, that's too little.
36
And twist it into the water.
37
By twisting it, it won't stick together.
38
Put a tiny amount of salt in this water because the cheese and the guanciale is salty.
39
This beautiful pasta...
40
Very good point again, cheese and guanciale both salty.
41
So don't salt water too much.
42
Eight minutes to cook.
43
So I've got my guanciale.
44
I'm gonna remove the skin.
45
Haiya, remove skin correct, but Jamie, you wasting so much guanciale.
46
Guanciale very expensive especially in America This how you're supposed to remove skin, don't remove fat He's so rich he can just leave
47
that big ass chunk of guanciale on there I'm gonna remove the skin
48
and I'm gonna take a nice centimeter slice of the guanciale Roughly chop this Yeah
49
that thick enough rough chop good The pan is cold, turn it on to a medium 80g guanciale, again little bit stingy 80g that enough for one person,
50
for two people too stingy The reason I want it cold is
51
because I want to render the fat out The guanciale goes into the pan
52
Nice guanciale go in pan dry correct Because guanciale a lot of fat,
53
a lot of oil gonna come out Jamie Olive Oil actually getting many things right so far That big surprise, but do you know what is never surprised? this video sponsor ExpressVPN
54
because ExpressVPN always protect information and help keep all online things private.
55
Every time you go online, everything you click and search is tracked and recorded by data broker.
56
Data broker like sick pervert who want to see when niece
57
and nephew buy new hat or play online game because they sell all your information to advertiser or scammer.
58
But ExpressVPN help Uncle Roger keep all the pervert data broker out and keep all information private.
59
Now no one know if you search for video with Uncle Roger making spicy food
60
Or some other type of spicy video Also ExpressVPN help you unlock
61
so many more shows on streaming service One of Uncle Roger's favorite movie, The Matrix Not on Netflix US But watch this,
62
use ExpressVPN, switch country to Italy And now it's there And the best part,
63
ExpressVPN is now available at cheapest price ever Only $2.99 a month, less than a bowl of rice Uncle Roger been using ExpressVPN for 6 years now
64
And you should too And if niece
65
and nephew use Uncle Roger's special link You get up to 4 extra months of service
66
So go to expressvpn.com slash uncle roger And this pan is getting hot Give the garlic a crack No,
67
no garlic As this starts to sizzle The fat will just pull out some of that perfume from the garlic What?
68
Nobody describe garlic smell as perfume Perfume attract women
69
Garlic do opposite of that Garlic is less like perfume More like magic the gathering Then there's the black pepper Peppercorn,
70
good, and he using pestle and mortar, nice, keep it fresh Get a little sieve, this is one of the most important things No, no No one really does it, okay?
71
No need to do this This is much milder What we have here is the inside part, the peppercorn, which is hotter,
72
perfect When you use pestle and mortar to crush black pepper Some chunk bigger, some chunk smaller That unevenness is nice part about carbonara,
73
haiya It's very nice texture some big, some small.
74
One tip, toast the black pepper first.
75
You're gonna get the flavor out even more Even more fragrant, the black pepper This technique Uncle Roger learned
76
when they're making pho They toast spices first For a good
77
hot carbonara The guanciale is getting golden Now let's get on to the eggs Eggs are really really delicate Is
78
that why you smash it down on chopping board earlier?
79
And if you don't treat these right You end up with stir-fried noodles
80
and we don't want that but incorrect bowl
81
and i'm gonna crack the egg straight into there uncle roger
82
would use two eggs a little pecorino for two portion
83
so like 20 grams wait just 20 gram what the hell hiya jamie why
84
so stingy 20 gram of cheese use more gram this cheese
85
not cocaine carbonara the main flavor come from pecorino uncle roger
86
use like 40 to 50 gram per person Half pecorino
87
and half parmigiano Because if you use so much cheese and it all just pecorino It's gonna be too strong, too salty Parmigiano, balanced flavor,
88
little bit And I know niece and nephew are gonna say Uncle Roger, you say to use feeling But why when you cook carbonara you don't use feeling?
89
Ah yeah, because this white people food Uncle Roger don't have
90
so much experience I still have to measure
91
So we're gonna have a little whisk up We've got dark
92
guanciale We've got the fat that's come out of it And that's what you want You want attitude and colour Now...
93
Attitude?
94
How food can have attitude?
95
Uncle Roger never met plate of pasta before that tell me to fuck off You want attitude?
96
Buy Uncle Roger cookbook Because every recipe, delicious, taste tested multiple times
97
But before every recipe starting There are little paragraphs from Uncle
98
Roger in there To tell you what Uncle Roger think of this dish
99
So you can get better at cooking
100
and laugh at the same time It will be dream come true
101
if Uncle Roger get on New York Times bestseller list I'm gonna remove that garlic Turn
102
Okay at least he removed garlic But then why bother adding in there?
103
And the water Turn heat off and put pasta in, correct?
104
Use the water to stop the frying Bit of water Wait, wait, wait That water What that weird shit he doing?
105
Bit of water, bit of water Bit of water, bit of water Bit of water, bit of water Do you use tong to transport water?
106
Jamie, you ever hear of cut?
107
Who do this?
108
Is that how you drink water also Jamie?
109
Just tonguing it in your mouth?
110
Bit of water, bit of water That water
111
and the fat He just making whole mess now Haiyaa Stop
112
abusing your kitchen cleaner First you just smash raw egg on counter And now you're just spraying water everywhere
113
This guy really too rich, unlimited cleaner That is what's going to emulsify to become a creamy sauce We're not frying anymore, can you hear that?
114
Okay but that correct Quiet No frying at all Only then can we think about adding our egg. That right.
115
If fire is still on and you add egg, you're gonna just get scrambled egg As we toss,
116
we add some more liquid Haha,
117
that's the cream You get the cream through the emulsification of the cooking water And the fat
118
But he's using big S word like emulsification You get the cream through the emulsification of the cooking water Emulsification, just white people way of saying,
119
oh your sauce gonna feel nice No frying at all, only then can we think about adding our egg The thing that cooked the egg is the heat from pasta,
120
not from fire That's why your egg never gets solid because it's not that hot
121
Jamie Oliver really like his sound effect Ha ha, woo, yeah Editor clip that up,
122
the ha ha, so we can use the sound effect for future video Ha ha!
123
Technique and timing.
124
So as simple as this is, it's technical.
125
Get your friends, your family, get them around the table.
126
Glass of wine.
127
Look at that guys, look at that.
128
Carbonara!
129
You see carbonara, but Uncle Roger hear metal tong scraping non-stick pan.
130
Haiya!
131
Another rich people behaviour.
132
He can afford to use non-stick pan one time, then throw it out.
133
Ha!
134
Wah!
135
I'm so excited.
136
Spaghetti.
137
carbonara with a beautiful little finishing of pecorino.
138
That is as classic as I can give you guys from chefs, from nonnas.
139
It's about quality ingredients, the guanciale, the pecorino romana, quality eggs, the pepper, the technique of the pepper,
140
good pasta and then the sensitivity of cooking it right.
141
Come on.
142
There's a little platter for two people and of course the most important thing
143
when you eat pasta is don't watch it eat it correct
144
don't let carbonara sit too long it's gonna get all greasy and hot that my friends is a thing of joy
145
see
146
when jamie make decent food he actually eat multiple bite of
147
it compare this to his pad thai to his fried rice to his pho he barely take one bite
148
and then we joe finish overall minor mistake with the garlic, two little cheese, two little egg, but ingredient technique mostly correct.
149
Jamie you finally make one dish that Uncle Roger think is okay, but Uncle Roger still cannot forget all the other time you mess up Asian dish.
150
Jamie, Uncle Roger gonna be in London soon.
151
Let's film video at my restaurant together.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
