what i ate in a day ~ cleaning out my fridge day 2!
What counts as leftovers in jasmineandtea's kitchen? Lobster shells, an old baguette and wilted kale, for starters. In "what i ate in a day ~ cleaning out my fridge day 2!", those become stock for risotto, breadcrumbs for meatballs and a garlicky vegetable side.
The week's most-watched upload has reached about 69,000 views. Its premise is pleasingly practical, even when the ingredients lean luxurious: ground Wagyu and Iberico pork go into the meatballs, while the risotto gets butter, parmesan and crème fraîche. A frozen banana snack with peanut butter, chocolate and pecans finishes the day. Viewers are talking about their own forgotten ingredients, from spices bought for a single recipe to things lurking at the back of the fridge.
The later "what i ate in a day ~ cleaning out my fridge!" is drawing the most daily views right now. Leftover scallion pancakes become an egg-filled breakfast wrap; dinner swaps rice for cauliflower alongside pork belly. Between them comes a tinned fish board, a theme that also gets two separate Trader Joe's uploads, including a taste test.
Beyond the fridge, an October convenience-store meal in Seoul and a portable tomato-flavored hot pot remain active draws. The channel added roughly 1.3 million views over the week, with daily viewing currently above its usual level, while its subscriber count held steady. Nearby food channels Breanna Stark and Ahmad Noori had substantially busier viewing weeks; jasmineandtea's own new menu stayed focused on finding another meal in what was already there.

What viewers say
It's so helpful because, you know, sometimes I buy spices or other ingredients after watching a recipe, make it, and then just leave them sitting in my pantry. This is really helpful for getting ideas! 😂
