I'd try Yukon Gold potatoes instead as they are more easily found.

In fact, according to this site: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/a-complete-guide-to-12-types-of-potatoes#12-different-types-of-potatoes-and-their-best-uses

>Chef Keller uses Yukon Golds in his potato rösti recipe and says they’re the next best thing to La Rattes for puréeing and mashing

If you're looking for a higher-end Japanese dining experience, I can't recommend Asuka in Westwood enough. Get the kaiseki tasting menu and get ready to have your mind blown.

And +1 for the Tempura House recommendation for something closer to home-style bento.

For Thai fish sauce for chili (นํ้าปลาพริก), it’s better to just make it fresh since it’ll taste better and the quality fades after 2-3 days.

Here’s a link to a recipe

And use quality fish sauce like this. Avoid low quality ones like Tiparos and Squid brand.

I have it at home now, here it is on Amazon.

I tried the sandwich yesterday and let's just say you can probably make something similar with these ingredients:

• White bread, thick cut
• Garlic butter spread
• A slice of mozzarella cheese
• canned spaghetti

There's only two reasons to eat it.

1. Novelty factor / Instagram bragging rights
2. You grew up eating it and you're feeling REALLY nostalgic for it and you don't feel like eating it more than once in the next month

It's edible, but it's like "Oh, if this cost $2 it's not bad!" But if you're going back to eat this multiple times at $11 a pop, I really don't know about you. It legit tastes like cheap spaghetti between two slices of garlic buttered toast with one slice of mozzarella and if you read about it, it's exactly supposed to taste like that.

This stuff is amazing. It's not super spicy, more mild with garlic.

So late to the party but in case you’re still looking f for the mustard, Chinese restaurants usually use a powdered mustard that you mix with a bit of water. I use the s & b brand which is the most common.

I hope this helps!

Kickass!!! I used to have a studio across the street (just saw the blue wall behind you in the video) + there's no way to say something is the best but this place is definitely worth checking out. The line gets crazy on the weekends. The neighborhood is rough. When Al Madrigal says "Gotta go to a roach coach parked out in front of a mechanic's shop," I picture this place after dark. The lighting isn't great. Parking is dodgy, way too packed. The streets are barely drivable. I still think everyone in LA needs to go to Los Guichos. El Gavilan next door is unworthy in comparison.

There are churros to the side for only a buck made fresh to order totally worth it.

Nice job making this I will have to finish watching later.

You should check out the pupusas diagonally across the intersection. Sweet little spot. Kasandra's 5736 Broadway St, Los Angeles, CA 90037

Aside from their amazing on-menu tea leaf salad, they also sell this commercial product orange box of fermented leaves and the crunchy bits and spices.

You just need to add fresh cabbage and whatever else you like (maybe some tomatoes and peppers and white onion). There are no instructions included, but that’s the basic gist.

It’s on Amazon too but cheaper at Jasmine.

I don't think the taste would be right. Amazon did have this one, and it's a brand I have used before. A little pricey but this will likely last you a year of fairly heavy use. It does last a long time and adds a ton of flavor to many things like stir fried veggies and even fried noodles. Once you open it keep it in the refrigerator, and put it in 2 ziplock bags. The double layer will keep your fridge from smelling. https://www.amazon.com/Belacan-Shrimp-Paste-8-82oz-Pack/dp/B00886EJLE

tteokbokki - it's spicy rice cakes, eggs, fish cakes, spam, etc swimming in a red hot chili sauce'

edit: their medium is similar to the famous ssamyang fire chicken ramen
