  • - Hey guys, this is Inga, and for the next 24 hours,

  • I will only be making and eating TikTok recipes.

  • I recently started using TikTok

  • and there is just a world of content on this app.

  • Tons of really interesting videos every day

  • that pop up on my For You page, #FYP,

  • including like cute pet content,

  • a lot of Animal Crossing stuff, and a lot of food content.

  • Even just #cooking alone has 12.3 billion views.

  • And the best part is, not only are there recipes

  • but there's also like a bunch of really fun hacks

  • that I think could be cool to test out.

  • So I was thinking I could do a 24-hour cooking challenge

  • using only the recipes that I find on my For You page.

  • This is going to be an adventure.

  • Let's get started with breakfast.

  • So to start the day off, I really wanna try

  • making this pancake cereal that has been popping up

  • over and over again on my page.

  • I think I've seen at least ten videos

  • so I feel like that's a sign that I should do it.

  • It is basically tiny pancakes, around this size.

  • You cook a lot of them all at once.

  • Then you put them in a bowl and drizzle syrup over it.

  • The most important thing is really just some pancake mix.

  • I just need some milk and eggs

  • so let me whip up my pancake batter.

  • Cup of pancake mix.

  • Half a cup of milk.

  • Egg.

  • Whisk this up.

  • I think we are good to go.

  • The next step is to put it in some sort of container

  • so we can squeeze it out onto the pan.

  • I am just going to go the traditional route

  • of putting it in a Ziploc bag.

  • Now to fry them up.

  • Melted some butter.

  • Okay.

  • This might get messy.

  • (smooth music)

  • It's a little messy looking,

  • but this is what my pancakes look like right now.

  • They said that the trick is to essentially leave it

  • in the pan for a little longer

  • so it gets crispy on the bottom.

  • Ooh hoo!

  • This is my little bowl of pancake cereal.

  • Pretty cute.

  • Smells really good, smells just like pancakes.

  • But before I add the syrup in,

  • I am also gonna make a drink to go with it

  • and I know you guys have already seen me do

  • the Dalgona coffee, but I found this really cool trick

  • on TikTok where instead of using a electric whisk,

  • you can just spin your whisk between your hands

  • and that is a much faster way

  • to get to that consistency we want.

  • It has only been a minute.

  • We can already see that like frothy consistency.

  • That took me forever to whip up last time.

  • Amazing!

  • Now that I have my coffee, I'm gonna put this

  • over a glass of milk and, I should be able to eat.

  • My cereal and my coffee.

  • Look at how tiny these pieces are.

  • Which I, ooh!

  • I'm normally a big fan of like, tiny food like this.

  • It looks super cute and since we're eating it like cereal,

  • only makes sense that I'm eating a lot in one bite, right?

  • It's just like eating pancakes.

  • I love the crisp at the bottom.

  • I do feel like they're slightly drier.

  • I feel like kids would love this.

  • I'm gonna add a little bit of milk right now to try it,

  • before it gets too soggy.

  • The leftover maple syrup has kind of blended in

  • with the milk and the pancakes kinda soak it up right away.

  • Now I feel a little bit like I'm eating dessert

  • for breakfast but what's not to like about that?

  • This combo is pretty much perfect.

  • This new technique saved me a lot of time.

  • Think it's a great way to enjoy a cafe-ish drink at home.

  • And these pancakes are just really fun to enjoy.

  • I think the first meal started off pretty well.

  • I am going to go do some work now.

  • And then I will see you guys again for lunch.

  • It is now 12:12 p.m., and I know I had breakfast

  • not too long ago, but I am already ready to make lunch.

  • Also happens when I'm working at home, I guess,

  • I just am always thinking about food.

  • All right.

  • So for this meal, I'm going to make the really popular

  • one pan egg sandwich.

  • Just like the pancake cereal, I feel like it has been

  • popping up again and again.

  • Where you make the entire sandwich in the pan.

  • It looks like it only takes maybe like two minutes.

  • So I wanted to try this out.

  • To make things a little more exciting,

  • I am also going to add another recipe that I found

  • where she makes these carrot bacon.

  • It looked really good and she has

  • some amazing recipes on her page.

  • This one popped up on my feed

  • and I just remember being so mindblown by it,

  • I just had to try it.

  • We're gonna do a carrot bacon egg sandwich.

  • First things first, carrot bacon.

  • We have some carrots here, maple syrup, liquid smoke,

  • garlic powder, onion powder, paprika.

  • I think she wanted smoked paprika,

  • but this is the only one I had.

  • First step is to shave our carrots.

  • This was around two carrots but I have

  • a bunch of carrot strips here.

  • They kind of already do look like bacon.

  • I'm just going to make the marinade.

  • There weren't any specific measurements for this

  • so I am going to eyeball it.

  • This smells super strong.

  • I guess this is what makes it taste like bacon.

  • Give this a good stir.

  • I'm also going to add in some salt.

  • It is a very nice sort of reddish brown.

  • There's a lot of flavor in there right now

  • so I'm gonna go ahead and put my carrots in.

  • Mix it up.

  • I'm gonna leave it in for two minutes

  • and then I can put it in the air fryer.

  • Go. (panel beeps)

  • Now we wait.

  • It's done, it's done!

  • I heard it beep.

  • It smells so good.

  • These are what my strips look like now.

  • This is really good.

  • The flavor is exactly like bacon.

  • It's like a flavor bomb.

  • Now that I have my bacon done,

  • I can go into making the actual egg sandwich.

  • Looks super promising, though!

  • For the egg sandwich,

  • you really only need three base things.

  • Two slices of bread, I'm using brioche.

  • Two eggs, some butter.

  • I saw that a lot of people also put in

  • the toppings they liked, so I'm also putting in

  • some sharp white cheddar.

  • And of course, my beautiful bacon.

  • Melting my butter in the pan.

  • Crack these eggs and beat them up.

  • Add in my eggs.

  • I'm just going to dip the bread in like this,

  • and flip it around.

  • Same thing with this other slice.

  • Once the egg has cooked on the other side,

  • I'm gonna flip it around, but it's pretty cool

  • how everything just happens in the pan.

  • Do a little flip.

  • Flip!

  • Then fold it in.

  • Add my cheese, bacon, fold it in.

  • Just pressing it down a little bit

  • to make sure the cheese is all melted.

  • This is almost done now so I am going to plate it up!

  • Lunch is finally done.

  • This is what I have here.

  • I tried to toast it a little bit more.

  • You can see this carrot bacon in there

  • and also the egg and the melted cheese.

  • It smells like French toast without the cinnamon.

  • There's a lot of melted goodness in here.

  • I was gonna make a drink, but everything I saw

  • on my page was alcoholic and I still need to work,

  • so I am just sticking to water for now.

  • It's like a hot pocket.

  • That carrot is really good, wow.

  • I'm not somebody who likes carrots very much usually,

  • but when they're cooked like this,

  • I feel like I could eat tons.

  • The texture is a little bit different

  • but the flavor is on point.

  • I feel like this sandwich idea in itself is really good,

  • but the carrot bacon really takes it to that next level.

  • If I hadn't seen it on TikTok,

  • I probably would have never known.

  • I think these two recipes are really worth trying.

  • I'm gonna go ahead and finish my sandwich

  • and then do some more work, maybe do some exercises too.

  • Eventually we'll get to dinner.

  • I'm pretty full.

  • It's been a couple of hours.

  • It's still really bright outside, because the sun

  • has been setting at like around 8 p.m. lately.

  • For dinner tonight I am gonna be testing out

  • three different recipes that I found on TikTok.

  • It's going to take a while so I am starting

  • a little bit earlier.

  • One dish will be my side dish slash appetizer,

  • one dish will be my main course,

  • and then one will be my drink.

  • And I'm super excited about these three recipes

  • because these are the ones that popped up on my For You page

  • and then I actually saved and bookmarked them

  • as ones that I really wanted to try.

  • To start it off, I am going to be frying up some rice paper.

  • This video I found was super awesome,

  • it was basically a tutorial on the different hacks

  • that you could do with rice paper

  • and the first hack she did was actually to deep fry these

  • so then they become these really poofy rice chips.

  • And they looked really good, they reminded me

  • of the shrimp crackers that I had growing up,

  • so I am going to give that a test.

  • I'm just going to heat up some oil

  • and while that's heating up, I'm gonna cut up

  • my rice paper into smaller pieces.

  • They almost look like playing cards.

  • They should expand once they hit the oil.

  • Oil is getting pretty hot.

  • (oil sizzling)

  • Whoa!

  • What!

  • The second they hit the oil, it just expands,

  • it's like watching a flower bloom right in front of you.

  • Look, look at this.

  • From that texture earlier to this.

  • Totally puffed up.

  • (chip crackling)

  • Hear that crisp?

  • Truly incredible.

  • This is one of those things that just looks amazing

  • even as you're watching it being made.

  • I'm gonna salt it really quick.

  • So excited for this already.

  • And as for my main course, I'm actually going to be making

  • some dumpling fried rice.

  • This dish was created by Chef Chris,

  • who has some pretty awesome videos on his TikTok page.

  • Lots of really good Korean recipes.

  • And a lot of them actually popped up on my feed

  • so I really wanted to give this one a shot

  • because it sounds kind of bizarre at first

  • and then you see the end product which looks so good

  • and also if you think about it,

  • kinda makes sense.

  • So the first thing you need are some dumplings.

  • Scallions.

  • Sesame oil.

  • Soy sauce, salt, and of course some rice,

  • which I already have.

  • First things first I'm gonna cut up my scallions.

  • Now to cut up my dumplings.

  • That looks like bite size pieces.

  • I have my giant wok here.

  • Toss in the scallions.

  • Add in my frozen dumplings.

  • (pan sizzling)

  • Add in a little bit more oil so I can put in the eggs.

  • Now we're gonna mix it all together.

  • It smells like dumplings in here.

  • Just doesn't look like the dumplings we know.

  • He also said to add one-to-one ratio of dumpling to rice

  • so I'm using the same bowl I put the dumplings

  • to put my rice, dump it on there.

  • Ooh!

  • Put some sesame oil on there.

  • Soy sauce.

  • Mix it up!

  • (pan sizzling)

  • Smells really good.

  • Hear that like, beautiful crackling sound?

  • All right.

  • So right now I have my appetizer done,

  • I have my fried rice done.

  • The last thing to do would be to make my drink.

  • Since it's the end of the day now,

  • I figured I can finally try one

  • that has a bit of booze in it.

  • I remember liking this video when it came up on my feed

  • because it just had ice cream and soda

  • and a bit of alcohol, and it really just came out

  • like a really good slushy slash milkshake.

  • So I am super pumped to finally be able to try it.

  • The original video actually used

  • like melon slash honeydew flavor,

  • but I am gonna swap everything out for strawberry

  • since that is my preferred flavor.

  • Everything else, all my steps will be exactly the same.

  • You need three things.

  • Some soda, this brand specifically.

  • Dessert bars.

  • And of course, some soju.

  • And then all you have to do is grab a blender,

  • add some ice in there,

  • scrape off the ice cream into the cup.

  • Now I'm gonna add in my soda.

  • (soda fizzling) I'm scared.

  • Add in some alcohol.

  • Cover it up and blend it.

  • Wow.

  • It has a very thick consistency.

  • It smells like strawberry candy, great!

  • Okay, I have everything.

  • It is time to eat!

  • This actually looks incredible.

  • Over here I have my dumpling fried rice, I put an egg

  • on top, and that's what it looks like underneath.

  • You can't really see the dumplings anymore.

  • These beautiful, crispy rice paper chips.

  • And then my three-ingredient slushy.

  • It has been a long day and I am exhausted.

  • I'm gonna actually take a sip of this drink.

  • Cheers.

  • Ooh hoo.

  • This is dangerous because you can

  • barely taste the alcohol in it.

  • It is just a very light and, I feel like summery drink.

  • Now I'm gonna try my chips!

  • They are so thin, I can see the light through them.

  • I think these would go so well with just about anything.

  • The perfect snack to make.

  • Now for the thing I've been looking forward to the most.

  • Ooh hoo hoo!

  • Scoop out a big bite.

  • That is so good.

  • Wow.

  • I guess it does make sense, right?

  • Because the dumplings have already been seasoned,

  • there is, like I said, meat and vegetables in there.

  • For those of you who are thinking,

  • like why don't I just eat the dumplings as is?

  • Mixing it with the fried rice,

  • it almost like doubles the amount.

  • And the thing is the rice soaks up some of that

  • dumpling flavor, so every bite is super flavorful.

  • This is definitely something I would be making again.

  • I am going to very happily enjoy the rest of my dinner.

  • I knew there was a reason why I saved these.

  • You guys are incredible and I am so glad

  • I am on this app because I found y'all.

  • This marks the end of my 24-hour TikTok recipe challenge.

  • I really do look forward to trying out

  • even more recipes as they pop up on my For You page.

  • And what do you know?

  • You can always pick up a new skill or two.

  • I would love to know what else you guys

  • want to see me try and do in terms of cooking challenges,

  • but I will enjoy my cookie now.

  • And I will see you guys next time.

  • Bye!

  • (pleasant music)

- Hey guys, this is Inga, and for the next 24 hours,
