1. The video discusses three types of street food from different countries: Uzbekistan, Korea, and Turkey.
2. In Uzbekistan, a popular dish is samsa, which is typically sold in street stalls, bazaars, and street alleys. It is made by kneading dough, dividing it into equal pieces, rolling it into flatbreads, and filling it with onions, fat tail, spices, and meat. The samsa is then wrapped in a flatbread of dough and baked in a clay oven called a tandoor.
3. The tandoor is unique because it is glued to the walls due to its high heat. When the samsa is properly browned, it falls off the walls of the tandoor without any problems.
4. The host demonstrates how to make samsa at home, starting with removing unnecessary stuff from a tandoor, setting it on fire, and letting it heat up.
5. The dough for the samsa is made by melting 150 grams of butter, adding 1 kilogram of flour, a good pinch of salt, and half a liter of water, then kneading it all together.
6. The filling for the samsa is made from a kilogram of onion, which is peeled and cut into cubes, and different types of meat, with the most authentic samsa made from lamb.
7. The meat is cut into large and smaller pieces, fat tail is added, and all the ingredients are turned into chopped minced meat using a hatchet.
8. The filling is then seasoned with cumin, black pepper, and salt.
9. The dough is divided into 64-gram pieces, each of which is rolled into a ball and placed on a tray. The filling is then put on the dough, folded to cover it, and the samsa is baked in the tandoor.
10. The samsa is ready when it falls off the wall of the tandoor, indicating that it is browned and ready to be served.
11. In Korea, a traditional way of making popcorn is demonstrated, where rice or corn is put into a thick-walled iron container, heated, and then quickly opened to create an explosion of popcorn.
12. The popcorn is then seasoned with various flavoring additives, and can be made either from rice or corn.
13. In Turkey, a famous dish is baklava, which is an ancient dish first prepared for the Sultan in 1453. It is made by kneading dough, rolling it out into thin sheets, layering it with pistachios, and baking it.
14. The baklava is then coated with melted butter and baked in the oven. It is then poured over with a syrup made from honey, water, and sugar.
15. The baklava is decorated with more pistachios and is ready to be served. The host also demonstrates how to add ice cream inside the baklava when ordering it in a restaurant.
16. The video ends with the host expressing their preference for baklava and inviting viewers to write in the comments about other street food they would like to see replicated.
