I really loved WOK WITH YAN.I watched it all the time!Too bad he isn't there anymore! I really miss him!

I used to eat at his restaurant in Vancouver. I remember once we had family come visit us from out of town and my uncle was also in town as he was in the navy and his restaurant was closed that day but he opened it up and cooked a special meal himself just for our family. He was a really nice man and family meant the world to him.

I remember this. I watched it with my mom on pbs. I miss the 80s so much.

It's his thick accent and his sense of humor that made this show.

Man, my brother and I use to watch this when we were kids. Still as funny now as it was back then.

Ahhh the best days of REAL COOKING SHOWS.

Back when cooking shows were not a competition.

This was a staple on Canadian Television when I was a kid and came home from school! It made me sooooo hungry watching! This was the first cooking show I watched and glad to find again on KZfaq. I love the teaspoon measures and videos of China or China Town! The wiki page has a list of all his WOK Pun apron saying....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wok_with_Yan He is not related to Chinese American chef Martin Yan of the PBS series Yan Can Cook, though Martin was an employee and had worked for Stephen Yan in the 1980s as demonstrator for Stephen's products. Who else has a craving for this now?!

Used to watch this show as a kid. Great show! :)

I watched this all the time in the 1980’s! Loved Yan!

Thank you for uploading this treasure... now I clearly remember why I used to love watching this guy in 1979

omg i miss this! He's the man! The pioneer of approximation, 1 tbsp, 2tbsp (swirls in wok)

You are totally right, this guy is nothing but pure cooking happiness. Thanks for introducing me to this guy. Always makes me happy to see the things in the past that were so progressive- this guy is so positive and obviously loves what hes doing.

2 of the best cooking shows Wok with Yan and Pasquale's Kitchen Express.

I swear, I NEVER missed an episode of this growing up.

I grew up with my mom watching this everyday! His voice is permanently stuck in my head!

I grew up on Yan. His broken “engrish” is forever burned in my brain. Great tv personality.

I miss this guy. I remember being 6 years old watching this with my dad...

this is the most practical cooking show

My childhood Sunday afternoons: 1. That Rob Ross painting show. 2. Wok with Yan (this guy) 3. Oshin (a Japanese drama) 4. 1980s National Geographic episodes. Hard to believe how stoned they used to make it. 5. Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories.

35 years ago, he was the king. "If Yan can cook. So can you!" Loved watching his show as a teenager. I am a better man today because of this man. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I'm cooking this recipe tomorrow. Legendary!

This guy was fairly popular back in the 80's in Canada. Always had a different apron with a wok pun on it.

OMG. I forgot about this show. Me and my brother watched this as kids. I love the aprons.

The Bob Ross of cooking imo.

i can't believe i googled this show. it brings so much memories. my mom was glued to his show once a week.

Remember watching him as a kid well before I could cook anything. Great entertainment and memories!

This guy is the O.G. of t.v cooking shows...They need to come out with his show on dvd.

This man is the reason I like to cook. Watched him as a kid in Ontario. Thanks Yan!

I mis my childhood watching mr. Yan cooking show😢

I grew up in the early eighties watching this guy. So thanks so much for uploading some wonderful memories!

OMG!!!😱*nostalgic*_* I was 17 when I saw him on tv(Wok with Yan). He's the man who inspired me to cook when I never once held a knife before....taught me how to slice beef(against the grain🤔) n stir fry vegetables(used to hate it). Anyway Mr. Yan, Thank you for inspiring me!☺️I hope you're still healthy and funny like you were before. 🙏😊

I've been cooking his recipes since 1981!! I always enjoyed "Wok with Yan."

I've missed this! 😫 I remember watching it when I was young. It is so nice to come across it again and reminisce. I think my fascination about food somehow came from watching him cook. God bless you!

I'd buy this on dvd if I could, the whole series. Very enjoyable.

Wowow!!! I completely forgot about this show! I loved it as a child cuz yan was hilarious

this was my favorite show when i was a kid, lol... i can't believe i actually am seeing it again, lol... now your cooking with wok !!!

i missed watching this guy,he's so popular way back then,80's..yeah..now i miss my childhood also😌😷🤗

I went and made it after watching this. Delicious!! Watched him when I was a kid too! Good Canadian nostalgia!

He was fantastic. Never missed his shows

boy it was it was so hard to find him. i use to watch him with my mom when i was little. i never could remember his name except wok with something yan. i thought i had found him earlier but it was another yan. so glad to see him on youtube.

For Canadians this was originally on the CBC

hes always been my favorite cook..with his corney jokes!!!!

A great chef and showman.

Cooking this tonight, love the presenter, so funny but great teacher.

I so love his cooking shows!! The food always comes out good, and looks yummy and i bet it taste that way!! Classic!!

Thank you for posting this!! Great food and great childhood memories!

I found the love for cooking because of my grandma and this guy back in the 80s when i was a kid.

Love this guy...he can really Cook and Joke around at the same time !!

This dish looks fantastic! Boy do I miss his show on the food channel tv. There's only junk on there now. Longing for the good old days. 😊

Steven Yan, Julia Child, and Justin Wilson made me love cooking as a child. I still love to cook for my loved ones to this day

RIP I always loved watching him. He's so fun to watch.

Yep really enjoyed watching his show he used humour as a way of cooking his food easy and simple. love that

love the notes on the apron as well...each and every episode.

This takes me back! Thanks for uploading. I do a variation of his sharpening technique with the bottom of a coffee mug - it's less unwieldy than a plate in my opinion.

I just finished watching a few horrible cooking shows with the gf on the cooking network in Canada this evening..... and somehow I thought of watching this guy as a kid and how great his show was. Very informative, funny and entertaining..... really would love more of this on youtube.

very few chefs can make cooking this much entertaining

One of my favorite dishes. :)

Loved watching this show when I was young.

I loved this show

I watch this when I was a kid. They aired this on City2 television now ABS CBN back in 1980’s. Then they aired on RPN 9. Classic cooking show

My nana loved this show we had fun times watching it

Used to watch this with the whole family every weekends when I was a kid. I so miss this show! (T_T)

Hey. Mr Stephen Yan, happy retirement wherever you are!! When I was a kid, my little brother and I used to watch you regularly, often rolling on the floor, you were such a fun guy. I remember the apron that said, "Wokkey night in Canada", and "Between a wok and a hard place" :=)))) hahahahaha

Thank you looks so good .I will make it

i loved this show, i used to watch it all the time

I miss this show so much. I like to watch this when I was a kid… ❤

Im from Malaysia.. we love this show when we were kids...

i have one of those recipe books (got it at a local library that was getting rid of a bunch of older books, mostly cook books). i love it and it holds a lot of nostalgia for me as i grew up watching the show :)

I love this show when I was a kid . Beef Broccoli my fav dish

Aww... i used to watched him during the late 70s and early 80s he was so very famoust and i enjoy watching him now i also love to cook and cooking his reipes now...

Oo omg, this was my very favorite show!

The OG of cooking shows. i watched this in the 80s in the Philippines

He's so funny! And a excellent cook too!

I used to love this show.

I still have his cookbook and always "wondered" what exactly was in his Wonder Powder ;) This show reminds me of those days when my sisters and I stopped watching cartoons on Saturday morning and started watching all the cooking shows on PBS: Martin Yan, Ming Tsai, and way before that a slew of Italian cooks and some frugal gourmet guy, and of course James Barber on CBC, the list could go on...

He was the original chef of all time.

Loved it

holy shit I put 80s Chinese cooking show and thankfully this popped up. I watched this all the time as a kid. I got no idea why. just found it entertaining

I made this tonight and it turned out great .No left overs at all !

Used to watch this show (or reruns?)in the early 2000s in canada.Made me practice my english learning😁

I love to watch this when i was junior student in 1993💗 maybe becouse its funny😄🐾, but never practive or only remember his cooking advice about the fry pan

all time favorite!

I love this guy

My favorite chef back in the days

Looks great!

He is a cool dude!! Love Yan!!

i always used to luv when he had a guest at the end and they sit and eat together :)

YAN is more entertaining & cooking Educational then all.of today's food networks 😁👍🏻

this was my favorite show when i was a kid, lol... i can't believe i actually am seeing it again, lol...

i remember him on my grade school & still amaze on his way of cooking til now that i am old.Chatting while cooking.:)

this was one of the best new cooking shows from back in the day...I lived near Yan's Restaurant, which was in burnaby bc. It is because of Steven Yan that I know how to make authentic sweet and sour sauce, it tastes awsume with deep fried (garlic) dry pork or sparibs...creating sweet and sour pork. mmm.

Light racism aside, really a wonderful, informative show with an incredibly dymamic personality. My father grew up watching this guy and speaks fondly of this program. He still uses many of the techniques he learned from watching this program. Growing up in smalltown southern Ontario he wouldn't have necessarily had many opportunities to learn these lessons. Also, I want all of those excellent aprons.

dude....i love this guy...!!

Me and my friends alway laughed at his accent and jokes but we also respected his cooking skills and the food always looked so good.

2018 and I'm watching this. loved this as a kid!
