I use no oil at all when cooking. Instead I water fry. I use water in place of oil and allow it to simmer before adding veggies. This way is minimalist friendly!

Hello from Turkey to the beloved Japan! About the olive oil... I am from the west part of Turkey where olive is very abundant. it is the indispensible part of our cuisine. Anyhow, there has been a debate going on whether olive oil gets oxidant when it is exposed to the heat. So, I have started adding raw olive oil to the already-cooked dish. And if I have to use some oil right away to fry or saute, I go for 'ghee' or cold pressed organic sun flower oil; if no other option, I still go for olive oil. In eastern culture, ghee is believed to be very healthy and nutritious and quite resistant to heat. Thank you for your videos, they are so inspiring and lovely. Hope to watch more of them. Wish you the best!

Hey there, a quick note. Acrylamide is in alot of foods when they are raised to a high temp. It can be found in teas, coffees, rice and bread products, and i think i couple of things like olives and other similar types of plant based foods. the acrylamide is a chemical product of high temperatures within the presence of certain sugers by a process known as the mallard reaction. in other words, that reaction that means the seared golden brown goodness we all love so much create acrylamide as a by product in things not meat, fish, poultry, or dairy! however the levels of acrylamide are so low as to not pose a serious health risk unless you over consume over a long period of time. in other words, if you are obese eating nothing but fried foods.

You can also use Ghee, also known as clarified butter, and coconut oil. Good for your health. Thank you for sharing!

Cheap cooking oil

He eats honey, cobon, dates instead of sweets. He drinks soy milk instead. He drinks matcha or green tea. He uses olive oil instead now.

As an Italian viewer, I can only say… using olive oil for cooking is the best! Use it forever 🤣 only, don’t burn it: be very careful using it. It’s also really good for seasoning salads and some meat and fish dishes.

Great video! Avacado oil is one you can use at higher heats but just as safe as olive.

Hello, yes olive oil is healthy. I am from Greece and here we cook just with olive oil and we use it also in our salads a lot of it. Like in a salad with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, pepper, parsley and oregano 🙂

Actually, the presence of acrylamide is NOT specifically labeled throughout the US on the shelf of foods that have this ingredient, as shown in the chips you showed at 1:47. The requirement to shelf-label acrylamide is specific to a California state law (as stated on the notice). The other 49 states do not have this requirement/law. You would have to look at the list of ingredients on the package's label to know what is in the item you're purchasing. (A full consolidated list, disclosing all of the ingredients in any food item, IS required to be shown on a label, across all 50 states and territories of the US.)
