Kids are too cute!? Reminds me of my mom trying to teach me Chinese when I was young.
Thanks for watching!
Loving the more frequent uploads 🤗
Thanks for watching and supporting!
Your older son copying your sentences is so cute. The little one is such a mini me of his dad at least for now.
Lol. The bloopers are awesome!
Haha! Our favorite part!!
Hey you beautiful people, haven't heard from y'all for awhile. Glad to see you guys are back in recent videos
Thanks 😊
My baby LOVES jook. He can eat it every single day! Definitely a traditional Chinese/Asian baby food and comfort food for when someone is sick. Good job Jordan!
Thank you😊
I made jook for my boys when they were little too. Once he gets a bit older you can blend the cooked chicken in a blender so there is actual bits of meat and you can use different vegetables:) Your children are beautiful.
Thank you very much 😊
Your kids are adorable! You are a great mom teaching them Cantonese.
Thanks!!
You have beautiful children! Keep up the good vlogs!
Thank you! We will!
My recipe for jook are, salmon, sweet potatoes, carrots, couple slices of ginger and broccoli. My granddaughters been eating since they were 10 months old and still eating today and they are 5.5 and 2.5 yrs old. Plain jook is when we are sick. Your children are beautiful❣️
Thanks for watching 😊
Ha! We just made congee this morning! Just in case - another tip is to soak the rice over night in water (after washing) to save cooking time in the morning. Cooking time would be 45-60 minutes for a cup of rice. We like to cook it with ginger and top with scallions (and finish with salt). Simple and comforting!
That's gruel to me. We never had it plain! We always threw stuff into it, firm favourite is chilli radish. But scallions/spring onions is a must! I can't do ginger, it gives me major yit hay. I suffer it in ginger & scallion lobster though 😉
Thanks for the tip!
小小 (siu siu) or 啲啲(di di) or 一啲(jat/yat di) is the advance cantonese version of saying a little bit for example 一啲飯一啲紅蘿蔔一啲雞(a little bit of rice a little bit of carrot a little bit of chicken)
一啲(jat/yat di), 一點(jat/yat dim), 一些(jat/yat si) are all variations of a little bit
Here is a youtube link of the word being used

P. S my mom likes to cook pork and sweetcorn congee some salt to taste, the pork is cooked so it slides off the bone while the sweetcorn niblets give the congee a slight sweet taste, my favourite congee is definitely pigs blood and century eggs congee topped with finely chopped spring onions served with a side order of fried dough sticks(油炸鬼) or ox tongue pastry(牛脷酥) it tastes like a fried slightly sweet doughnut
So glad you revived the channel. Your babies are gorgeous!! Please keep the videos coming!
So glad you are still watching!
I love eating jook! It’s a Chinese comfort food for me. We grew up eating it and I make it just the way my mom made it for us when we were kids. I also put carrots in my jook, along with chicken or pork and green onions. Your kids are so cute. I hope they will grow up speaking Chinese and not forget it like I did. I love hearing the dialogues as it helps me remember how to speak Cantonese again. Please keep up the videos. I love watching them.
Thanks for watching. We really enjoyed making this video!
Your youngest is baby Steve ! I ate that jok as a kid too, My mum also made a really nice minced pork and mushroom one. Thanks for sharing 🌟
Haha! Yes he looks like Steve!
Goodness gracious! They are so cute!! Mama’s chinese is way too good!!!
Haha! Thank you!
Love your videos!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Love those bloopers!😁
That’s our favorite part!
Loving watching your videos as I get ready for bed. You have an awesome family. Looking forward to watching more videos tomorrow; I limit to 45 mins a day.
Thanks! Very disciplined for 45 minutes a day lol!!
This brings back such great memories, grew up eating jook :) Your children are so sweet. Thank you :)
Thanks for watching!! 👍
好可愛呀‼️😇
💙 this family 💙
Thank you so much!
Would never thought of adding carrot. Will give it a try. 👍
It taste good 👍
We call carrots gum surn here in the UK. There's a few things we say thst are different, like roast duck we say sew 'ap but in the US you can for 'ap
My son is the exact same age and eating jook as well. We usually use chicken, but we've been experimenting with Salmon as well!
👍
Looks yummy!
Our son sure thought so!
You’re Cantonese so darn good! If I was to close my eyes I would think you’re chinese .
Thanks 👍
So cool that they can all speak a bit of Cantonese! My kids love rice also.
We are trying! Cantonese is a tough language, so just a few words here and there.
@@CantoneseCouple haha. Cantonese is definitely a tough language! but I think you are doing pretty good!
I love congee with thousands years egg! Yum Yum! Keep it up Jordan!
Thank you!!😊
Yep, that's my favourite to, we add a fried ghost and pork ribs too and shurt choy. My husband (Scottish kiwi) loves it!
You speak very well :D
Awww thanks 😊
I like congee. I ate that growing up as a child, especially on Sundays
Thanks for watching!
Awesome content! The interaction with your kids, the food, the retakes section. If I can offer more criticism: This could've been two or three or maybe even 6 or 7 videos and if you can stretch it out more to 5+ minutes each. I know it's a lot, but I think people would watch it. I would!
Haha! Please keep the criticism coming!
Adding jook to our weekly home meals. Thanks Jordan! Great to see your kids having a go. Unlike mines, who get all paa3 cau3!
Lol! Our kids are a little paa cau as well.
Great job Jordan. You sound just like my mom. Are you sure your not Chinese? I love jook.
Lol maybe 10% Chinese???
Your kids are too cute! How long did it take you to learn Cantonese? I spread mandarin so I can’t gauge how well you speak but you sound like you speak really well.
I just call it rice soup/porridge in my biracial house and we eat that when I don’t feel like really cooking cause we eat it with all the prepackaged stuff like spicy bamboo shoots, pork floss, kimchi (my favorite Korean side dish (lol), pickled radish, etc.
I would say it probably took a year or two to get the hang of it. Now it’s really natural!
Jook is our lazy food. I throw pork ribs in with rice 1 rice cup (the one that comes with the rice cooker) and fill it up with water all in the rice cooker, after it's cooked it sits in the rice cooker on warm of another hour. The meat falls off the bone, aye yah it's delicious! It's super thick, deliberately so, as we add hot water to our bowls and the remainder is another meal for the next day.
Don't you have a rice cooker? Mum always made jook in the slow cooker growing up, it's too much work making it in a pot!
We have an instant pot!
@@CantoneseCouple Is that a din fan bow, is that what American's call it?
No it is different. Instant pot cooks meat and other things super fast.
@@CantoneseCouple I like the sound of that. Makes me think of the bread maker I was going to buy 3 weeks ago but didn't that evening when my husband wanted to see it first. Then when he gave me the Ok (for me to buy it with my money?!) the next morning it was sold out EVERYWHERE. I don't know if your instant hot pot makes bread since it does so many other things but my din fan bow makes bread!? It has a make cake function (I thought it was a steam function to make Chinese sponge) and my husband made bread pressing that button, which I love! Who doesn't like saving money, as we all know us Chinese have a special appreciation for that. I'm just pleased that my worktop doesn't have this big Ar"e bread maker sitting on top of it now!
It is Chinese grits.
Lol 👍
I grew up eating congee as well, not sure if i ate it when i was a baby tho
Got to start em young!!
It's every Chinese baby's first solid meal!
Use Instant Pot to cook the porridge, only takes less than 20 minutes.
Good tip! We have an instant pot!
Do English-speaking people generally know the word 'congee'?
I found that this word is not included in many English dictionaries.
A friend from abroad once asked me what 'congee' was.
I told him 'similar to porridge', but they're definitely not the same.
No I don’t think so. Probably more common would be rice porridge.
If you want to save time when making your vlogs, you don't need to bother with too much editing (of photo inserts & subtitles)... leave it as RAW footage (including bloopers). I'm sure no one will mind 🙂 👍
Good idea 👍
Agreed! We all knew with having kids it was going to be hard work.
@EppingForest304!? I'm in Leytonstone ha!
A Russell, Leytonstone is not far from Epping on Central line, so we're UA-cam neighbours 😎 👍
@@EppingForest304Oh, you're literally at Epping Forest station. I call Hallow Pond part of Epping Forest, the actual forest. I love the forest, it's been a bit of a God send during the lockdown.
