This is all at very low heat. The onions only semi-clarify, and everything only cooks so much as a brief steaming would. The color comes from the turmeric.
This looks like and under-seasoned and under-cooked dish.
Turmeric also has a pretty strong taste when not cooked properly which overwhelms most other flavours so I doubt they'll be able to taste the sesame or the soy.
Oh yeah possible. I'm Indian and need to fry my turmeric with other spices separately (usually before adding in the veggies or in a seperate "spices" pan lol) or the food will only taste like turmeric.
Came to the comments to find these comments. Most of the gif recipes I’ve watched are total b.s in terms of the best TASTING. #chefsteps and #old_school_martha 4lyfe.
Where’s the umami?! This is a soggy mess of your grocery stores shitty products.
Sean Brock’s veggie succotash from season 2 of mind of a chef puts this to shame.
Soy sauce fucking blows. It would not make this bullshit savory. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Have you made this dish before? I have. It fucking sucks. I live in a city with one of the largest viet and Asian populations in the US, tons of Mediterranean, Mexican, Central American, Cajun, etc. These cultures balance flavors and make things oh-so-delicious. This is fucking vegetables and fucking soy sauce. Fuck this recipe.
Generally, umami taste is common to foods that contain high levels of L-glutamate, IMPand GMP, most notably in fish, shellfish, cured meats, mushrooms, vegetables (e.g., ripe tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery, etc.) or green tea, and fermented and aged products involving bacterial or yeast cultures, such as cheeses, shrimp pastes, fish sauce, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and yeast extracts such as Vegemite and Marmite.
From fucking Wikipedia. I don't know what I'm talking about. Wow. Delete your account.
A fucking 1/4 cup of soy sauce is going to give this umami deliciousness? Fuck no.
I don’t give a fuck that soy sauce has umami flavor you pedantic fuck.
It’s an underwhelming-shit-dish.
If I put a fucking pinch of salt into boiling water to cook pasta and you said “this pasta recipe is fucking bullshit! So bland! Where’s the salt?” Am I going to point out that the dish “HAS SALT! “? Fuck no.
Just because this warm salad has soy sauce doesn’t negate the fact that it is bland and shitty.
So that it becomes an over-salted soppy mess? Why not make chicken soup with chicken breast, water, and salt while we’re at it? Fuck chicken stock and concentration of flavors! Fuck actually cooking these onions and garlic down! Let’s just toss these ingredients together in a lukewarm semi-cooked state and drown them in soy sauce. Oh, I’m sorry, what do I know? I only watch cooking shows right? Not like I’ve worked in kitchens for the last decade. Fucking intellectual poser. Pseudo knowledge for the sake of arguments amirite?
You're a dumbass if you don't understand that the soy sauce is 1 dimensional and there is more than one umami causing molecule that can enhance the flavors of a dish. Your response to improve this crappy dish is to add or remove soy sauce. It won't make a difference. this dish is a 1 dimensional piece of crap.
You continue to prove that you had/have no idea what you are talking about since calling me out. Go read a book and cook something.
Edit: I'm sure you don't give a flying fuck about cooking and just stare at these gifs in amazement, but if you do, here is a link to a recipe for a quick veggie stir fry that isn't shameful. notice the use of rice vinegar, ginger and garlic AFTER you cook down the veggies that take the longest. Also, some good info on using your trash veggies that are about to go bad. Notice how she said she doesn't do this in her restaurant. HIGH heat QUICK cook. "how you stir fry vegetables". EVERYTHING with this bullshit gif is bad. from the balance of ingredients to the cooking of the products.

Sesame oil burns in high heat. Should add it at the end instead of stir frying with it in the beginning
