Do you have any idea how much this truffle alone costs? It could be four thousand dollars. I can reach six thousand dollars. Also, sir, it has always been a dream of mine to eat a truffle like an apple. Can do it. It is doing? Yes, of course, three, two, one, a

mushroom

is a fleshy spore that carries the fruiting body of a

mushroom

, it can poison you, it can cure you, it can help stop the spread of cancer, or it can give you one of the best food experiences known. by the man. He stole my heart in this exclusive series.

We are demystifying high-end cuisine. What is good food? funny guys they are grown in factories this is what my bologna looked like in college i am super affordable i thought it would be dusty not dusty it is self-cleaning even incredibly expensive this is what oprah eats we will discover the wide variety of mushrooms that exist in Asia, they actually have like 60 mushrooms and all over the world, this is what the breath of God smells like and it all starts now. Mushrooms don't come from animals, so why should we care today? I'm with a twin to answer that question. yeah, today twin and I are going to dive into the wide world of mushrooms, from the cheapest one, I like that one because it's soft, to the most expensive one you can find anywhere, so it's super expensive, super expensive, like this we have a long trip ahead of us, but first we head to the hot pot shop welcome to ashima.

Good 15 years in the hot pot business and more than 60 types of mushrooms on their menu. They're the go-to place for all things hot pots, the cornerstone of any good hot pot experience is the broth, so I'm going to put my spoon in there. Very complex, very good, here are the mushrooms. Normally you wouldn't order so many mushrooms, but they wanted to show us the great variety they have here. They've outdone themselves this is wild first of all these are oyster mushrooms but before we get too deep into this I want to go to an oyster mushroom

farm

oh really and we're already there these are oyster mushrooms have you eaten them before? in a soup maybe you've never stood next to a wall of them like this yes, I know these guys are one of the most common and easiest mushrooms to produce in Vietnam.

What do you think makes the oyster mushroom different from other mushrooms? I think the texture. It's pretty good and when you put it in the hot pot it doesn't get so stinky, yes, but before I try it I want to learn more about where these mushrooms come from with the mushroom

farm

er, young man, how are you doing on your humble farm? he grows over 200,000 embryos and five different types of mushrooms right now we are standing next to a bunch of embryo bags, it's a funny name right, embryo bags here, like on many farms, the mushrooms are grown in containers reusable plastic bags full of sawdust and fungi.

They generate the only two ingredients needed to grow a healthy mycelium, so he said they are actually the fibers of the fungus, almost like tree roots. Yes, yes, the mycelium of each mushroom grows at a different rate. It takes about 60 days for the oyster mushroom to go from this to this. This will be the basis for the mushroom to grow later, when it is fully mature. The cap is removed from the bottle, which will allow the fungus to sprout in the coming weeks. Well, can we eat your oyster mushrooms? Yes, you can eat them right now.

Let's do it all. voila, voila, there's almost a fibrous fan texture on the back of the mushroom that gives it a nice mushy flavor when you bite into it really well, that's how they make oyster mushrooms and then we're back from the farm. our enoki mushroom results list Enoki mushrooms or needle mushrooms are a popular ingredient throughout East Asia, especially Japan. I would really like to learn more about these. I don't have any information. Where can we go? How about a mushroom factory? Oh that's good. Let's go learn more about the process of growing needle mushrooms.

We have come to the Konoko factory, a place where these types are produced on a large scale. um the woman behind this magic mushroom operation, Miss Tuhue, with 16 years of mushroom experience, has adopted and applied methods. and technologies from Japan that allow you to produce cleaner and safer mushrooms with less environmental impact right now we are in her mushroom factory and I am a big fan of mushrooms, all kinds of mushrooms, how many mushrooms are coming out of this place ? In reality, to produce needle mushrooms on such a large scale, 1,000 tons are needed per year, almost everything must be automated.

You start with a glass jar filled with mushroom compost made from corn on the cob, sugar cake, radish, beet and corn. The sealed containers are sent to a vaporizer. For pasteurization, killing any pests or bacteria, after eight hours of steaming, these containers are moved to a machine that fills them with mushroom seeds and then they are stacked in this warehouse where they grow mycelium for the next 23 days. There are about I don't know one. a billion jars of mushrooms here here, a mushroom specialist mr neem will take care of your little babies to ensure its quality, you check the quality by always testing it because that's my dream job, it's not right, we should go, yes, once the mycelium spreads throughout the container.

The cap is removed to allow the mushrooms to pop out as the mushroom caps form. The jar lids are manually wrapped with a measuring cone to ensure that the mushrooms are the same size when they leave the factory once the mushrooms grow to the edge of the measuring cone. are ready to harvest each mushroom is weighed, then placed on a conveyor belt and sent to packaging. Can I try some of this right now? Yeah, okay, I just broke off a piece that's not too much, it's too much, it's earthy and really the best. Part of this type of mushroom is the texture, it has a certain squeak when you chew it.

I love it. From here I think we have some mushrooms to eat, young lady, so we have to try the mushrooms at the factory while we're at it. I'm going to try these for real, like crackers, that's great, that's what I like most about these. They have a crazy squeaky crunch. From here we go to the kitchen because there are two more mushrooms that the chef is going to tell us about. go now, I'm not going to teleport, we can only go up the stairs hello chef subtitling no snow available oh I like that one it feels great they say that when you walk in nature you automatically de-stress and I feel that way too it makes you anxious oh it's nice, yes it's one of my favorite mushrooms, it's super unique, it looks like it belongs on an underwater coral reef on the great barrier reef off Australia.

It's amazing, this is one of their most unique mushrooms, but I want to try it as much as possible. It is expensive and see if the price can be compared to that of truffles. Now this one has a much more traditional mushroom shape. Hello, I don't speak Vietnamese. Is for you? Oh my god, you really did it. I can't believe you make up their problems. my staff called me, everything is

fine

, everything is

fine

, let's get back to the mushrooms, this is the matsutake mushroom, it is also known as the queen of mushrooms because of its very specific growth requirements, it only grows on the roots of some trees and then there has to be fog. all year round it is one of the most expensive mushrooms in the world, which makes this mushroom so unique and so rare.

Night of God, this one is very special because it used to be served to royalty in Japan and you can only get this mushroom for 30 to 40 days each year, okay, thanks for all the help, we are very excited too, if you did it right , okay, take the call, let's go eat, thank you right here, this is the snow mushroom, one of my absolute favorites. crazy texture, okay, you're ready, let's go for it, come on, isn't that weird? It's so real It's a little fluffy It's a little chewy Confusing Exciting It's like your first love in high school You feel nervous but you also feel good I actually like it right, yeah, it's really good There's one more mushroom we want focus here, these guys, it's not as expensive as truffle, but when you eat truffles you can't even eat a whole mushroom, they cut off part of the mushroom and that's it, but here we can enjoy some whole mushrooms if we try them oh wow, yeah, which is almost like eating just mushroom wood, kind of soggy texture like you can bite into it, look you can see my teeth in there, it's intense.

This is very good this is one of the most expensive mushrooms in Asia but I want to try to eat the most expensive mushroom in the world the truffle so twin brought us here jardin descense or garden of the senses a mix of good traditional and modern food with chef frederick in charge chef how are you today very good thanks to you and yourself we are great today we cover mushrooms we have come here to explore the most expensive mushroom in the world the truffle the truffle is a type of mushroom that growing underground is one of the most popular in haute cuisine and an easy way to increase the price of any food why do people like truffles so much because they are very expensive?

I mean, a few years ago it was a real privilege of the people who could afford it, but then over time everyone was able to buy them, try them and eat them, yes it's interesting because when I was 20 I never tried any truffles, but in these days maybe with the arrival of truffle oil now there is truffle of everything, but something happened to me a while ago. I tried a real truffle a while ago and it didn't taste like truffle oil and I knew something was wrong. Does truffle oil really contain truffle? No, my god, motherfucker, there are hundreds of

species

of truffles, but only about 10.

They are edible here they have three varieties in stock oh my god, smell it wow, that's what the breath of God smells like. Burgundy known for its hazelnut flavor wow, it is beautiful inside like a road map to my heart. the flavor after cooking develops its honor and the white one is the most expensive truffle here six thousand dollars for a kilo so I think two of it and the lady in a ring should be beautiful yes sir it has always been a dream For me, eating a truffle like an apple, you're not really going to appreciate it, you can do it, I can do it, yes, it's very close, okay, I'm going to look for it hot, aromatic, very nutty, not as moist as I thought, it makes my mouth water. feel a little dry or like hard styrofoam and delicious, that's why most fantasies should remain fantasies our first dish chicken ramelot starting with the filling combine the chicken mousse with the chicken liver then add the chicken breast, pork fat and black truffle cubes, spread the chicken breast fillet and then cover it with a generous layer of filling, French squab breasts, foie gras and more mushrooms, finally wrap it and cook it sous vide for three hours at 145 degrees.

The truffle actually there is no truffle yet, there is a truffle farmer who will come to shave it for us, oh, the chef himself. that's a lot, it's fantastic, it smells so good, I feel butterflies in my stomach, let's try it, mmm, wow, it's a moist bread, it's delicately seasoned as I eat it, I don't get a big truffle sensation, I swear, it's almost . more of something you smell than something you taste, it's interesting because while he's doing the shavings that way it's climax moment after that there's not much to do, I still like him, he still makes me feel like a fancy boy, so course, two Hokkaido scallops with a side of broccoli ice cream, this scallop is seared on both sides and then served with spinach puree, homemade cheese, spinach and truffle oil, served with a side of ice cream made from broccoli topped with fried bacon bits, wow, that's a mountain of truffle.

So much truffle that I can't see the scallop anymore, it looks great, greetings, it's so good that I'm left speechless. The scallop alone is beautiful, it's plump, kind of naturally sweet, but it's a perfect match for the truffle, we've had two so far. dishes with truffle, do you think it's worth it? yes, I really enjoyed it a lot, yes, wonderfully married together, here something you wouldn't expect them to be married, broccoli ice cream, final course, macaroni risotto with the most expensive truffle we could find. in this city cook the macaroni, then put it on ice in a separate pan, fry the garlic and onion, add the white beans, water, rosemary and let it simmer, brown the onions, garlic and tomatoes dried in the sun, add the water, macaroni, butter and finally finish with an artichoke heart mixture. the beans and plate with more sun dried tomatoes chives parmesan cheese basil and finally top it with slices of very expensive freshly grated white truffle we have leveled up to the white truffle, the most expensive one they have here, cheers, cheers, oh, I stole my heart It was like fancy comfort food, this to me is more reminiscent of what I've eaten in foods that have truffle oil, yeah, a little bit more, a little bit stronger flavor and, uh, you feel it more in your nostrils, do you? what truffle do you use?

I like it more, I think it's hard to say because this one already has to mix with the food, but this white is very strong, so I think I like it more, yes, I think I like it more too. I like the flavor to hit me like a truck, so I appreciate the more intense flavor of white truffle mushrooms which add a lot to the food when cooked, whether it's in its texture, it has a certain squeak to it.chew them and then they all taste really dramatically different. They all have the taste of the forest after today, I appreciate all mushrooms more and for me a mushroom doesn't have to be expensive to catch my attention, friend, where do you come from?
