8
Why they get this little boy chef to cook?
9

12

13
The recipe of curry is the ingredients of the soup I mean, basic recipe for curry is powdered soup ingredient I mean,
14
that technically he correct but that's so vague that like saying basic ingredient for ramen It's liquid, noodle, and pimpage.
15
With the ultimate pimpage.
16
And pho is water, noodle, and thyme.
17
The curry is a little bit of a blend.
18
The smell is growing.
19
I'll make the curry curry for the curry.
20
Okay.
21
Haiya, don't sneeze in people food.
22
I'm not going to use the food that I can use!
23
The smell of the taste will fall off!
24
Alright, flavor of spice diminished by day?
25
Just like my ex-wife loved for me.
26
I'm going to add a little bit of curry sauce to the next one.
27
If niece and nephew make Japanese curry at home, usually you just go buy a little box of pre-mixed curry powder like Vermont,
28
like S&B, but if you want better flavor, you need to grind fresh spice yourself.
29
Garam masala ingredient Cumin, peppercorn,
30
cinnamon, clove, coriander seed and I think that cardamom All correct?
31
Oh rolling pestle and mortar Rolling okay
32

33
But now I stuck in this shitty Airbnb
34
Haiyaa But at least they got pestle and mortar here
35
So Uncle Roger can still do my pounding No need Auntie Esther I just pound by myself
36
But this Airbnb kitchen
37
so useless All this hanging thing is just for decoration only
38
Cannot cook with this I don't know why they make the whole house look like this
39
When white women do yoga too much They start decorating house like this Owner of this Airbnb
40
You live in suburb of LA, not Morocco.
41
Uncle Roger liked the contrast of these two characters.
42
One tall, mysterious, handsome, and the other one ginger.
43
Boo-yon just mean broth.
44
Beef or beef curry?
45
Okay.
46
Beef curry is a type of beef that can be used to taste the meat.
47
But this curry is a type of flavor that can be used to not only be used to taste the meat. And then...
48
You're a little bit wrong from the beginning.
49
Hmm, how someone so skinny know so much about food?
50
Very suspicious, cannot trust guy like this.
51
That like trusting Chappie guy to tell you about the gym If you want to know about food, Uncle Roger trust Lizzo Yeah,

55
That's all Good, now he marinating the meat Pepper,
56
garlic, good Ginger, good Turmeric, good Yogurt, okay
57
All ingredients correct little nephew But you're marinating too late
58
All this preparation should be done in at once Once you don't want any premature marination, haiyaa.
59
Remember, marination is just like bedroom time.
60
Your wife always wanted to go longer.
61
Massage the meat, good.
62
Tomato, oh, nice little detail for tomato.
63
See the little slit there?
64
That's so you can peel off the skin easier.
65
Nobody want to eat tomato for skin.
66
Always circumcise your tomato.
67
Onion, good.
68
Nice chopping See, all the skin peeling off already,
69
nice This anime cooking actually quite accurate This the other ingredient for the curry Okay,
70
onion, potato, carrot and the chopping this specific way of chopping.
71

73

74
Smoking in kitchen.
75
Haiya.
76

77

98
we call it roux And roux the difference between Indian curry and Japanese curry Indian curry,
99
don't use roux Okay, put it into boiling water Good,
100
good Broth go in, nice Tomato, good, nice acidity Haiya, but why are you sweating?
101
You're just putting tomato in water, not stressful at all, it's just this motion Why you look like you constipation?
102
I'm going okay
103
I think marinated meat should go in a bit earlier
104
because meat take the longest to tenderize inside If you put in meat now, by the time meat tender, your carrot, your potato, all turn mushy.
105
Small mistake.
106
Tasters?
107
I love how anime always show close-up of eyeball.

What happened?
117
Sanji-san, I'm so afraid to tell you to be in trouble.
118
So he used apple to add body.
119
What?
120
I mean apple, correct ingredient for Japanese curry, but it don't add body.
121
It adds just little subtle sweetness to curry.
122
Haiya.
123
If you want your curry to have more body, maybe boil the beef longer or use stronger stock.
124
Apple can't fix shit.
125
Okay, all these people sitting down for lunch, but nobody seem to want to take coat off.
126
Weirdest lunch hour ever.
127

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.
