$343 vs $28 Dim Sum: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Professional chef Eric Huang and home cook Gabi are trading recipes and hitting the kitchen to make dim sum! We set Gabi up with $343 worth of the finest ingredients from chef Eric’s kitchen along with instructions on how to make 3 of his expert-level dim sum dishes. Meanwhile over with our pro chef, Eric was finessing Gabi’s recipe and $28 worth of more common using his skill and professional know-how to make something gourmet. Which dim sum is giving you something to talk about?

Eric is now one of my favorite pro chefs here, sitting comfortably with Frank and Saul.

Gabi has the best go getter, let’s try it, open-minded attitude. She’s great.

[garyanderson]

And why does Gabi NOT have her own cooking show yet? She's 10/10.

The positivity in this episode is off the charts. Excellent duo in Gabi and Eric 😊

[AlvinAu]

Chef Eric worked at Eleven Madison Park one of the best restaurants in the world calling him a pro chef is an understatement.

I just rewatched eric using the cleaver to transfer the shrimp to the bowl 5 times and I’m still impressed. Love these two!

[Diastrefo]

I absolutely LOVE this duo. At the end together, their matching energy is just fantastic. Love to see more with them!

[clispyleaf]

These two have just such an incredible chemistry. Amazing chefs in their own leagues, both lively fun people, yes, more!

[maunarose]

This has to be one of my fave episodes of swapping ingredients!! So many dishes, so much fun. I loved what Chef Eric did with Gabi’s ingredients, and I loved how Gabi tackled the techniques and ingredients of Chef Eric’s ingredients.

[trevorthai]

9/10 comments here are about Gabi and I’m totally here for her positive contagious energy too ❤

[morganbrasee]

Gabi's knife skills have noticably improved! Looking much more comfortable

[Rasok]

The first thing I noticed off the bat was that the cheaper ingredients had the premium brand of oyster sauce while the expensive ingredients had a cheap one. Very proud of myself for knowing that lol.

[Deevamom]

Did anyone notice that she used chef Frank’s method for using the grater? I was so happy that somebody listened. 😂😂

[msewhisperer]

I've always liked Gabi. Her quoting Napoleon Dynamite just took her up to 11.

[aleon]

Epicurious-- this is a great pair. Do this again (well different food). Gabi is a lot of fun (and has great skills), and Eric is awesome.

[CodeDonut]

I love Gabi, her happiness and attitude just radiates and makes you happy!

[richybooo]

what a great episode, showing much works behind the dish of dim sum for others to appreciate. these two Chef and Guest has great chemistry while they share tea and compliment each other

[MissLizaMay]

Congrats on your win, Gabi! Enjoy your mentorship with Gordon Ramsay!

[Straydogification]

There's something endearing with Eric almost hiding when he eats while Gabi essentially headbutts the food, going full python on those veggies and claws.
Great video! Learned some new stuff.

[rodrigul]

Hahaha he just jumped up to top 3 chefs with his quote “As long as she doesn’t **ck this up!” 😂🤣😂🤣, that’s what my head tells me every time I cook!
