- Greetings, my beautiful lovelies.
It's Emmy and welcome back.
Today's video is sponsored by Helix Sleep,
a premium mattress in a box company
that makes mattresses that fits
your needs and preferences.
Fill out the Helix Sleep quiz
that outlines your bed style,
your sleeping preferences,
your firmness preferences,
and Helix will match you with
a mattress for your needs.
I am a little embarrassed
to share this with you,
but I'm going to, because it's the truth.
We inherited a mattress years
and years and years ago.
I actually found the tag when I was
swapping out my mattresses
and it's from 1988.
When we moved to Japan, I
put this mattress in storage.
I stored this mattress
and when we came back,
there it was in storage
and we've been sleeping on it ever since.
This mattress definitely
needs to be retired
and our new mattress is lovely.
It has so much more support.
It's not lumpy, my back feels supported.
It is just a pleasure to sleep on.
So getting enough sleep
and good quality sleep
is so, so important.
And I really, really learned this
when I had my first
child and I was nursing.
And so every couple of hours,
my sleep would be disrupted
and I was just perpetually
cranky, just cranky,
just kind of irritated
and mad all the time
because I wasn't getting that good chunk
of just uninterrupted sleep.
Did you know, on average,
we spend about 40% of our day in bed?
40%.
We don't even think about
that because we're sleeping,
but that is a significant part of our day.
So it's so important for
that to be comfortable sleep.
So I really like that
Helix Sleep customizes
the mattresses to your needs.
So besides comfort, what I really liked
about our Helix Sleep
mattress is that it arrive
at our doorstep in a box
that made it so convenient
and easy to take up our narrow stairwell.
Another great thing is that

Now, today, I am going
to be making a sandwich
I've been dying to make.
I've confessed this before,
and I will confess it again,
but I really enjoy watching
street vendor food videos
from around the world.
There's just something so captivating.
It's the point of view of
watching someone prepare the food
for yourself, it's performative,
but it just always looks
so stinking delicious.
And today, I'm going to be
making an Indian egg sandwich.
You might've seen these videos already,
but the vendor will
prepare a couple of eggs,
basically scramble them,
pour them out into a griddle,
add two pieces of bread
and do this really fun folding technique.
And then you end up with
this beautiful egg sandwich.
So I'm gonna be basing
my recipe and technique
off of some videos I watched on YouTube.
I will put their links
down to the description
and I'm also getting some inspiration
from this beautiful book by Chetna Makan.
It's called "Chai, Chaat and Chutney."
This is such a beautiful
book with all kinds
of wonderful recipes, a street
food journey through India.
I'm also going to use
her Omelet Pav recipe
for some inspiration as well.
While my griddle is heating,
I'm gonna prepare my eggs.
Drop them into here.
(egg cracks)
So I've got a tray of wonderful things.
Gonna add some salt.
I'm going to add some chili powder,
some curry powder and a
little bit of garam masala,
chilies, and a little bit of shallots.
And now we're just going to beat that up.
(spoon scraping)
Add some butter.
More shallots, chopped tomato.
Add some chilies to that.
Now we're gonna add our beaten up egg.
So basically, we're making a thin omelet.
Now we're gonna take our bread.
We're gonna dip it, then flip it.
Just so we get some egg on this side.
So I'm gonna make sure
I'm cooking all the egg.
So, we want this to set up a little bit
just so we can flip it.
Now you should see some of
these videos of these vendors.
They make these so fast.
It's incredible.
Okay, we're almost there.
And so I'm going to loosen
it a little bit here
and now we're gonna flip this whole thing.
I'm going to try to at least.
Oh no!
My eggs are a little over done.
So now we're going to flip
the egg inside like this,
and then we're just going
to flip it like that.
And there you have a
beautiful egg omelet sandwich.
Add a little extra garam
masala right on top.
Little shake of that.
Then we're gonna add some cilantro.
And then we just cut this
into pieces like this.
Oh, this looks so good.
And there you have it.
The Indian egg sandwich.
Oh, I can't wait to duck into this.
(upbeat easygoing music)
Alrighty, let's give our
egg sandwich a taste.
Itadakimasu!
Mm!
So, so, good.
The flavors in this are so good.
I particularly like the
flavors from the fresh chili.
Not only does it give a tiny bit of heat,
but it gives that lovely
pepper flavor to it as well.
Then we've got the
caramelized shallots in there.
A little bit of tomato for some acidity,
and you've got so many
beautiful colors here too.
You've got the bright
yellow from the eggs,
the green from the fresh cilantro,
a little bit of tomato for red.
It's just so good.
I also like how the bread
absorbs some of the egg as well.
It softens the texture of the bread.
It's a bit like French toast in that way.
It softens it, but it's not custardy.
And then of course it gives
this beautiful yellow hue
to the bread as well.
It's just so good.
Mm, mhmm!
I saw on one video where they serve this
with a side of fresh red onion.
So I'm gonna add some of
that to my sandwich here,
along with some more chilies.
Gosh, I love chilies.
Here we go.
Mm.
I really like the
addition of the raw onion.
It gives it this really great crunch too.
Mm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
I'm adding this to my lunchtime arsenal.
They're so stinking good.
Absolutely delicious.
So there you have it.
Indian egg sandwich.
Scrumdiddlyumptious.
And this is so ripe for
customization as well.
Add whatever you like to it.
I've seen ones that have
cheese in them as well.
Go for it.
The world is your oyster. (chuckles)
Or your egg sandwich.
Alrighty, my beautiful lovelies.

Is there something stuck in my teeth?
I feel like something's on my teeth.
