Mole poblano starts with whole corn on Crazy Korean Cooking
Homemade tortillas, heritage turkey and arroz rojo turn the family's Mexican meal into a two-part cooking-and-tasting story.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Making Mexican Mole Poblano for My Korean Parents
Crazy Korean Cooking takes "from scratch" all the way back to the corn. In "Making Mexican Mole Poblano for My Korean Parents," the host nixtamalizes kernels, grinds them on a stone metate and presses tortillas before the meal reaches her parents' patio table.
The mole gets an equally detailed treatment. Chiles, nuts, seeds, spices, bread, cookies and plantain become pastes, with turkey broth, Mexican chocolate and piloncillo joining the pot. This is not simply chocolate sauce with dinner: the chocolate arrives after a long procession of toasted, fried and ground ingredients. The cooking upload has reached about 760,000 views, the largest audience for any of the week's four new posts.
Viewers keep returning to the labor behind the tortillas, the seasoned comal and the turkey preparation. Several Mexican commenters discuss the care taken with their country's cooking; others joke that the process explains the appeal of buying mole in a jar.
The tasting has its own installment, "Korean Parents Try Mexican Mole Poblano First Time." Its description adds a lovely behind-the-camera detail: the host's sister was grinding corn in real time while filming continued. The family tried tortillas made both from freshly ground corn and from masa harina.
Those two uploads also carry the channel's strongest daily momentum. Behind them comes the earlier Japanese meal, with wagyu sushi, tableside tempura and homemade soba. Crazy Korean Cooking added around 4,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently below its usual level. Nearby, 1 Hour Lunch Break had a particularly busy week, while Outdoor Chef Life was quieter. Here, the week's defining work happened before anyone took a bite.
