Hi Josh, I am a Chinese (in more specific I come from Hong Kong), I can say that your recipes are 85% similar to the traditional recipes. I'd like to point out some things from my understanding. 1) you could have a wok lid instead of just using the aluminum foil to cover the wok, if you need one I think uncle roger can help @mrnigelng; 2) if you have enough time, please soak the dried mushroom with room temperature water for overnight, it can keep more of the favour inside the mushroom; 3) completely cool down the turnip cake before you fry it, it is completely correct, but you should leave it in fridge for overnight instead of just leave in room temperate for 1-2 hours, It looks so soft while you are frying it; 4) the lotus leaves don't look exactly the same as the one we used in Hong Kong (or Canton), but I think it is quite difficult to find it in overseas. Anyway i think Uncle Roger can still give you the Uncle title after watching this video :)

@cosmicray8172 Жыл бұрын

im from the US so thanks for your commentary! the leaves he is using in the video are actually corn husks, because lotus leaf is expensive/hard to find in the states, so josh is trying to get the most authentic texture and flavor with what he can use. corn husks are often used for steaming tamales and are much easier to find in the states.

Also the turnip cake should use a specific type of chinese cured sausage called lap cheong. It should be available in most chinese super markets (Chinese Cooking Demystified did a whole video on it). It's hard to explain but it has a very unique texture and taste that isn't similar to any other common cured meats so it's definitely worth looking for.

@ShikiKaze Жыл бұрын

Big tip on the Char Sui. Use brown sugar( a lil less of whatever white sugar is called for recipe.) the molasse in the brown sugar will hold the meat's moisture better when cooked. Try it out, it gives a slight hint of caramel sweetness.

A large produce stand I shop at regularly has an entire aisle of mushrooms. All different types. They always bag up the mushrooms that haven't sold or look a bit beat up. (still good tasting) and sell them for the same price as the button type.I make mushroom soup often with these or dehydrate them for future use. Part of cooking is shopping for ingredients carefully, especially if you're on a budget.

@stefanli6700 Жыл бұрын

I love these recipes! But as a cantonese who eats cheung fun every other day, I’ve never had it with the mushroom/cabbage filling. It’s normally filled with pork/beef/egg and served with Cheung fun soy sauce, which is absolutely essential and is most important part of the dish. As for the turnip cake(my favorite food!), we would switch some of the mushroom for dried scallops and dried shrimp for better umami, and add a bit of ginger for the daikon. I would also add less water for a bit of a firmer texture. Lastly, you should let the cake cool completely then put it into the fridge overnight to firm up before cutting and frying. Great job overall!

I would cook the pork dumplings like pot stickers. In a pan. Little oil, dumplings in, add a layer of water and cover with lid. The dumplings are done when the dough (and filling) is cooked and the bottoms are crispy. Maybe try one first to get the feeling. In some places they even use starchy water to get more crust.

Another person from Hong Kong here. I have dim sums every weekend with my parents when I was a kid. Here are a few humble suggestions. (1) The chicken in the stick rice look too pale. Try add some dark soy sauce for color. Also add some cubed mushroom to make it more fun. (2) most popular cheung fun fillings are beef and pasley, char siu, or shrimps. Another popular option is pan fried cheung fun (no fillings) with dipping sauce. (3) we don't consider pork dumplings as dim sum (just a traditional thing), but shrimp dumplings with translucent glutinous wrap. Also try adding chive in pork or shrimp dumplings, it will change your life.

Dim Sum originated in Cantonese dim sum culture began in tearooms in the latter half of the 19th century in the port city of *Guangzhou*, the capital of Guangdong, after opium dens were banned throughout the country. Silk Road travelers and traders would take breaks in tea houses for a dim sum meal. Zongzi, the sweet version is typically eaten in northern China and north of Taiwan. Lo Mai Gai originated in the night markets of Guangzhou, where the earliest form of the dish was made by steaming sticky rice together with salted chicken and sausage in a bowl made of China. Zongzi eaten in Southern China (Guangdong) with pork belly, Chinese sausage, and yellow mung beans wrapped in lotus leaf is quite common and my preference over chicken.
