This is the video that all Chinese kids watching their parents cook needed. Explaining rather than being told “just watch and learn / this is just how it’s done”.

Well said! Now, I can watch and make this delicious dish without feeling intimidated.

@calvinwong365 Ай бұрын

this guy literally explains everything in english that chinese people cant explain lol its really hard to explain these methods from chinese to english .why you need 2nd or 3rd generation like Sin. hes truly a great ambassador for hong kong food and cooking. cantonese cooking is dying out in america/canada. it cant keep up anymore cause due to the hard labour behind it and the long long hours. inflation also destorying the true art of cantonese cooking. just like how some dont respect italian cooking. chinese and italian food were the most dominate in late 80s 90s

@fatdoi003 Ай бұрын

if you want to use baking soda, DO NOT sprinkle as the powder may concentrate on some area making the taste quite strong.. dissolve the powder in water so it will spread evenly..... only put oil in on the last step of the marinate as oil locks up the meat to prevent anything going in and out.... so if oil goes in from start, the meat will not absorb all the marinate flavours and reaction from baking soda etc.....

Let the baking soda tenderize the meat by itself first. Rinse the baking soda of the meat before marinate. It help reduce the alkaline taste.

Shanghai style (the “spicy soy sauce”) is quite different from western style. As a Chinese-American who grew up on the former, experiencing the latter (and learning it’s what most people here mean) was an interesting experience. The Shanghai style can be used straight as a dipping sauce, it’s wonderful with fried foods like spring rolls, and also with pork or veggie steamed buns.

@fredleung616 Ай бұрын

@@katl8825 Oh that's interesting, in HK the Worcestershire sauce is very similar to the British version. In fact though a few local brands make it British brands like Lea & Perrins are quite common. Didn't know it was different in Shanghai!

First video of yours I've seen. Nice recipe and will probably make it, but would be great if there were some overhead shots of the food in the pan while cooking. Particularly the part when you were adding the cornflour slurry to thicken the sauce. Adding it in stages is a great tip but would like to know from a visual perspective when to stop.

Hi Lucas, This recipe just tickkles my taste buds! I will definitely try to reproduce it very soon. During the video you mention that French people call the grilled bits at the bottom of the pan as "fond"! This is incorrect, it's called "suc"! A "fond" in French cuisine, is a reduction of veg/meat/bones with liquid. Similar to a stock. Nonetheless, whatever the language, the result is in the taste! I'm sure I'll be licking my fingers clean after eating this dish.... Look forward to seeing more of your recipes

Uhh, I learned about velveting, then I westernized it to where I made an aggressively apple-oriented pork bit velveting mix consisting of baking powder, black pepper, apple juice, apple vinegar and corn starch, fried those up with some apples and made an apple sauce, I would probably serve such a meal with gratinated potatoes, honestly... But that time, I just served it with rice.
