I LOVE the fact that you always mention substitutes for less common ingredients, and always look for ways to make cooking more approachable. Such a breath of fresh air, compared to certain other food youtubers. There's no reason to make cooking harder than it needs to be, and gatekeeping is only going to discourage people from ever trying. That's why this is probably my favourite channel to go to for recipes for almost all Asian food.
I agree. Most youtubers make it seem like you're only destined or limited to certain ingredients when different spices or ingredients make an equal or even better substitute.
I laugh about this all the time, but it is very nice that he gives all the substitution ideas. I've learned a lot following his recipes using different ingredients
First video I've seen from this channel and have to say you're extremely likeable, the presentation is so good and I love that you give explanations for why you do certain things and provide alternative ingredients! Also the little touches like the taste test and even showing you doing the washing up is wholesome. Subscribed for sure ✌️
Indeed. I don't remember if he was by himself when I started watching the channel, but I first tried his Korean fried chicken recipe years ago and the everyone at home was crazy about them!
This looks delicious. I also came to tell you that your ground beef bulgogi has become my favorite meal to cook of ALL time 🙌 I'm obsessed. This week I made a double batch of it and my husband and I ate it for four days straight 😂 we never got tired of it, in fact I'm a bit disappointed that it's all gone now haha. Anyway, you're an amazing cook and Korean food is my favorite so I've been learning a lot from you. I make air fryer KFC all the time thanks to you. I'm so glad you're here sharing your amazing recipes. Keep it up ✌️
@@smokey1823 yesss! I need a bigger pan because I really struggled with that double batch! It was worth it though, omg. And kimchi goes so well with it too. I learned to make that last year too. Pretty soon I could be an honorary Korean 😂 if they'll have me!
I made this today, absolutely delicious! Used ground pork and I added strips of green bell pepper as you suggested. Also I keep super hot dried crushed chili flakes and Hua Tiao cooking wine on hand so I was all set with making this dish. And yes, it was easy to make! Thank you Aaron.
After all this time with you its hard to tell if Aaron sounds more than Claire or vice versa ☺🤣 anyhow I just love how you share your kitchen secrets with us
This is my first time being here and that dish look so delicious, I might just make it today for my husband. Thank you! I will definitely look into this channel more and the energy I got from both of you was so refreshing ✨️
That looks so good! Mongolian Beef is one of my favorites! I like lots of onion in mine so I usually add some regular onion and a bit of green pepper. Thank you so much!
Great substitute for Shaoxing wine is dry sherry Jerez wine, in my country it's easier to get one than the chinese one while the taste is very similar.
great recipe! Mapo Tofu is usually my go-to quick easy dinner but this Mongolian beef sounds wonderful and will be a great addition for when i dont have tofu in the fridge !
Aaron almost always mentions substitutes - it's one of my favourite things about this channel, to be honest! Certain other cooking youtubers drive me utterly and completely nuts with their "my way is the right way and everything else is HORRIBLE" mentality (I won't mention names, but there are a couple of specific ones I have in mind). There's zero reason to gatekeep cooking, of all things - and Aaron is doing a wonderful job of making it MORE approachable, rather than less so.
I tried this, and while I'm not a skilled cook this was AMAZING! I did not use the Corn Syrup, I added a bit more sugar and more water instead. I added more veggies and this was so good I can't believe I cooked it! This is the first time EVER that I used dried chili's and Claire I didn't eat them either but they add just the right amount of heat. Thank you so much! I am so looking forward to learning and cooking the recipes that you grace us with!
Mongolian (chicken, shrimp, or steak) is one of my favorite dishes. I love the thought of making it with ground beef. Will definitely make this one. Thanks for another great recipe Aaron.😊
I ditched the sugar and corn syrup and used honey instead and used chicken broth instead of water since I didnt have the chicken powder. Super easy to make and turned out amazing!
Yes, there are many sauces or condiments to use here, but they are all staple to most Asian dishes you'd find at your local restaurant. Buy them once, and you'll be able to use them for months for weekly cooking in a variety of dishes! x
Thank you for your recipe. Your recipes are always flexible, delicious and easy. Thank you very much for your participation and also for your effort in them. I am very grateful to you. It’s delicious
Aaron I made your Gojuchang tofu & broccoli twice now; the 2nd time it was part of a dinner to celebrate my baby sister getting a great new job two weeks ago. Several of my neighbors kids ended up wanting to come to eat with us when they smelled all the food I was cooking. While I myself grew up in a mostly vegetarian household & have loved tofu in many ways for decades, the neighbor kids absolutely loved it & they thought it waa meat! Until I explained to them it was tofu. They ate second helpings they loved it so much!
I just found your channel yesterday mate and am making this recipe tonight. Great content and very informative! Thanks so much for posting and I look forward to trying many of your recipes!
Aaron "trust me," my Asian cooking is exceptional because of you, thank you. I love Mongolian beef/chicken and love cooking, will give this a try 🇨🇦🇨🇦💕
I made this the other day and let me tell you guys It was flavorful and delicious! Instantly became one of my favorite dishes to make ! even my parents loved it and asked me to continue to make it lmao.Thank you very much for sharing such a simple yet delicious recipe I really enjoyed it! ♥ Highly recommend you guys making it you won't be disappointed ^^
Hello Aaron and Claire I just want to first say that I just love your food channel. You guys are a breath of fresh air and funny!! I tried this recipe today for my family and it was a huge hit even my picky 6 year old daughter loved it. Keep up the good work and looking forward to make another recipe from your channel. ❤
The algorithm felt my pain trying to cook something with my leftover minced beef quickly because I was hungry! It came out delicious! Thank you so much!
YUM. Much more my cuppa tea. I am going to try this one SOON. The normal beef cuts are delicious but honestly when you just want the flavour without the hassle then this is a great compromise.
I just made this following your video step-by-step and am eating it right now - it is DELICIOUS! Way better than take-out and I can't believe I made it myself in 15 minutes! It looks exactly like yours, too. The only thing I skipped was the corn syrup, as I didn't have it, and it is beautiful umami nonetheless. I can even make it for my diabetic dad without the corn syrup, and it tastes beautiful. Definitely buying your cookbook and subscribed - thank you!
I don't know why this popped up in my feed but I sure am glad it did! I love cooking videos and learning different cuisine! This dish looks amazingly delicious and I enjoyed the helpful tips and substitutions along the way! Thank you Aaron & Claire! 👍🏻
10 outa 10 recipe! Followed recipe to a T - technique as well, and definitely makes this recipe on point. This is one of the best things I've ever made, and I'm a kitchen witch! Thank you! ☺️ ✌️🧙♀️
Right in time for this recipe! Just the past days was asking myself what I could do with the ground beef I bought. Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely try it.
I've made this 3 times now. With beef, chicken, and pork. It's super delicious with all of them and it tastes a bit different depending on the protein. I love it. Great to add in greens and bell peppers too. Thanks for this one. It really did change my life 😅
Love it, will have to try. But a few questions, I am guessing we can swap the chillies for some spicy capsciums? We grow a few that have a kick, but aren't hot like a chilli. Also is there a swap for the corn syrup? Not something I see often down under (might be in the shops but never use it.) We have pretty much nearly everything else as staples in the kitchen.
Another hit! Mongolian Beef is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. I made this tonight and the whole family loved it. Super quick and easy. Thank you Aaron and Claire.
Next recipe added to section "Done with Aaron and Claire". Delicious! And now I'm even more confident in kitchen thanks to your tips. I've replaced some ingredients like corn syrup with maple syrup, corn starch with potato starch and chicken bouillon powder with hondashi. That's just what I had in my pantry 😉 and it was awesome! thanks!

i agree i also love @chinesecookingdemystified they are so good
TRY BEANS AND LEGUMES AND OTHER VEGAN REPLACEMENTS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, GET A CLUE ALREADY
I agree. Most youtubers make it seem like you're only destined or limited to certain ingredients when different spices or ingredients make an equal or even better substitute.
😮😊a😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Tf are you on about, "gatekeeping" 😂
"all you need are these 4 ingredients" whips out half a dozen more
I laugh about this all the time, but it is very nice that he gives all the substitution ideas. I've learned a lot following his recipes using different ingredients
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 right, I'm like I still need to get the spices, which is what he is not calling the "main" ingredients😅😅😅
Hate mfs that do these videos and lie
In all fairness the other ingredients should be cupboard/pantry staples
I will definitely try this out!
Update: I did it today.
I am speechless how delicious it tasted.
I can only suggest to everyone to try this!
Me too! As a chef I was actually shocked 😅🎉 AMAZING
Eat in iceberg lettuce leaves
Trying it tonight!
This recipe also works great with elk, in case there are any other hillbillies who were curious.
I love how enthusiastic Claire reviews the food.

It's so great to see how far Aaron and Claire have come with their channel. So well deserved.
Indeed. I don't remember if he was by himself when I started watching the channel, but I first tried his Korean fried chicken recipe years ago and the everyone at home was crazy about them!
*YNWA*
WHAT ABOUT THE DEAD ANIMALS THEY EAT, POSSIBLY DOGS, WHO KNOWS
What about the people you have sex with, possibly kids, Who Knows?@@RonPaulgirls
@@RonPaulgirls probably not enough fat in those dogs, but if I was starving... dogs would probably taste just as good. thanks for the idea.
This looks delicious. I also came to tell you that your ground beef bulgogi has become my favorite meal to cook of ALL time 🙌 I'm obsessed.

Thank you so much for saying that!!!! You just made my day! 😍😍😍😍
@@AaronandClaire of course! I'm leveling up as a cook thanks to you! Take care!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Our family is the same way. I bought the biggest wok I could find and it still isn't big enough!
@@smokey1823 yesss! I need a bigger pan because I really struggled with that double batch! It was worth it though, omg. And kimchi goes so well with it too. I learned to make that last year too. Pretty soon I could be an honorary Korean 😂 if they'll have me!
hahaha i cook that ground beef bulgogi now every week for me and my bf, we're obsessed!
I made this today, absolutely delicious! Used ground pork and I added strips of green bell pepper as you suggested. Also I keep super hot dried crushed chili flakes and Hua Tiao cooking wine on hand so I was all set with making this dish. And yes, it was easy to make! Thank you Aaron.
So glad you liked it! 😁👍👍
i look forward to trying this with chicken, and also now pork.
I ran out of ground beef recipes and tried your bulgogi ground beef recipe and it was AMAZING can’t wait to try this out too thank you!!!!!! 🎉❤
Omg, I absolutely love Aaron and Claire. Because they are so real…. Funny too. I love the cookbook too. Easy for starters
After all this time with you its hard to tell if Aaron sounds more than Claire or vice versa ☺🤣 anyhow I just love how you share your kitchen secrets with us
😍😍😍😍😍
Sounds more what?
She sounds like a woman, he sounds like a man. So what sounds are you referring to🤔⁉️
@@Sook995weirdo, obviously people have different way of speaking, cadence and emphasis on certain parts of words. It's not hard to guess.
Thanks Aaron! My husband has started cooking dinners 🎉 you make it so easy. Now if you could just help him find all the ingredients in our kitchen 😂
This is my first time being here and that dish look so delicious, I might just make it today for my husband. Thank you! I will definitely look into this channel more and the energy I got from both of you was so refreshing ✨️
I have used apple cider vinegar as a substitute for Chinese cooking wine and it’s worked fairly well.
It looks so easy to make. Definitely worth a try!
😍😍😍
Love these videos. Going to make this with my daughter. Thanks so much ❤
I really hope your daughter love it !!!😍😍😍
I made this for my family and both of my kids are picky eaters but they LOVED this! It so good!
That looks so good! Mongolian Beef is one of my favorites! I like lots of onion in mine so I usually add some regular onion and a bit of green pepper. Thank you so much!
Brilliant as always - love the use of ground beef because food is sooo expensive now and people need options they can afford. Now I'm hungry 🤣
Just cooked this as my meal prep for work tomorrow and dinner tonight. Absolutely delicious in every way. Thanks!
Great substitute for Shaoxing wine is dry sherry Jerez wine, in my country it's easier to get one than the chinese one while the taste is very similar.
This looks amazing! Just in time for the weekend, too. Thanks for sharing - can't wait to make this 🤤
I hope you like it!! And Please let us know how it was 😍😍😍
You guys are so authentic, love it!
great recipe! Mapo Tofu is usually my go-to quick easy dinner but this Mongolian beef sounds wonderful and will be a great addition for when i dont have tofu in the fridge !
Thank you so much for mentioning substitute ingredients right off the bat, not many do it but it's very valuable information!
Great recipe! 💜
Aaron almost always mentions substitutes - it's one of my favourite things about this channel, to be honest!

Holly crap, been watching your vids, so many awesome easy recipes. I hope you know how much we all appreciate your recipes.

1 tbsp Oyster sauce

1/2 tsp dark soy sauce

Black pepper

Mongolian (chicken, shrimp, or steak) is one of my favorite dishes. I love the thought of making it with ground beef. Will definitely make this one. Thanks for another great recipe Aaron.😊
Enjoy it!! 😍😍😍😍😍
We dont have shrimp in mongolia. I think you’ve scammed or something. 😅
@@belguteisama The restaurant near me has it. They also have a house Mongolian that has all meats in it. I guess it depends on the restaurant.
Love the shrimp idea. Going to try the recipe. tonight with both steak and shrimp in it. Thanks
I ditched the sugar and corn syrup and used honey instead and used chicken broth instead of water since I didnt have the chicken powder. Super easy to make and turned out amazing!
I just made this right now, and it's incredible! I didn't know I could get a lot of flavor into ground beef like this! Thank you, Aaron! 🤌
Aaron, another great simple to make dinner. I so appreciate your recipes.
Amazing! We just had this recipe for dinner, thank you so much!
Just followed this recipe and the whole family loved it! Thank you!

I recently found your channel and I love it! I’ll try making one of your recipes soon, Claire is a lucky woman!
I loooove your dishes and the way you present it all. With humour and so much love and affections! I'm a BIG fan of you
Great recipe. I did add .5 tsp of backing soda with 1tbsp of water to ground beef before cooking
Thank you for your recipe. Your recipes are always flexible, delicious and easy. Thank you very much for your participation and also for your effort in them. I am very grateful to you. It’s delicious
I just made this tonight. My wife loved it! My baby boys did too 😊 Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe!!!
This was delicious ! Just made it tonight my partner and I loved it. Very easy when you have all the ingredients around.
Just made it and it’s amazing! I didn’t want to use sugar so I used Mirin instead and use Shao Xing Wine on top of it! Really love the flavour!

I love your humor and also the substitutions ...and thank you for the printable version
My pleasure! So glad to hear you’re enjoying it! 😁🙌
How can Claire keep so fit with all these delicious dishes? ^^
She doesn’t finish all of it. Probably takes a bite or three for the review portion and then set aside the rest for her husband. 😂
LOVE your commentary and Claire is a delightful and credible critic!
Looks good and simple. Just what i like....I was waiting on a 'bring me a fried egg' moment but not this time lol
Don't worry about it! It's coming soon🤣🤣 BTW your budae jjigae was amazing Neil!! 😍
@@AaronandClaire thanks so much to you both. The book is fantastic. Bring me volume two asap !! 😁😜
That looks fantastic and as always I love the presentation and your way of explaining things.
Your energy makes me want to try, thank you!
Love your video and this recipe!
Can I use Red Pepper flakes in place of dried chilies? Thank you!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Definitely making this for dinner.

I'm so glad I found you folks..!! Entertaining AND informative. Super great channel 👏!!
Can’t wait to make this Aaron!!! I found All my go to dishes in this channel! I guess I have more to add to my list!
I just made this, for myself w/ 8oz of ground beef, and it was “onolicious!l (sooo delicious!) Thx Aaron!
Right in time for this recipe! Just the past days was asking myself what I could do with the ground beef I bought. Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely try it.
It’s been a while since I watched an A&C video, so thrilled you guys doing well
just tried it and definitely worth a try, very good
What a pretty dish! Always look forward to Friday mornings when Aaron & Claire show up.♥️♥️
I overdid it a bit with the hot peppers but I love spicy so it's good - really really delicious. Thank you.
I've made this 3 times now. With beef, chicken, and pork. It's super delicious with all of them and it tastes a bit different depending on the protein. I love it. Great to add in greens and bell peppers too.
Thanks for this one. It really did change my life 😅
So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for the nice feedback! 😁
Made this and it was easy and *super delicious*. Thank you so much.
We had this last night, we choose uson noodles instead of rice, other rice plans for the week. We loved it. A keeper for sure.
Have to try this one and I already know it will be delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
"know your enemy and you'll survive" 🤣Hilarious.
Nice dish. I like the idea of preparing bulgogi with ground beef.
Great video! I can't wait to make it. I'm going to add sweet onion too. Thanks.
I just stumbled upon your channel. Yes due to my love for food lol. You have a lot of great things going on. Yummy food.
Wow my weekend just got brighter.....am going to try this.. thanks Aaron.... first time am seeing Claire talk this much after one bite 🙈😁
Tried it despite missing a couple of ingredients. Still came out delicious!
Made this tonight, first time cooking Asian, everyone was happy including myself, thank you!!
Love the sauce ingredients!! I used them all before seeing your UA-cam videos!
So simple but so good. I love this channel!
Love it, will have to try.
But a few questions, I am guessing we can swap the chillies for some spicy capsciums? We grow a few that have a kick, but aren't hot like a chilli. Also is there a swap for the corn syrup? Not something I see often down under (might be in the shops but never use it.) We have pretty much nearly everything else as staples in the kitchen.
We made it today. First time doing a recipe from you and it was absolutly delicious 😍 Thank you for the beautiful video and recipe ❤
I made this with minced pork and beef-mix. Also added some canned mushroom. It was super-delicious!
I love your cadence and humor. I'll have to give this meal a try sometime
Another hit! Mongolian Beef is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. I made this tonight and the whole family loved it. Super quick and easy. Thank you Aaron and Claire.
Mongolian dish??
Ur saying like korean fried chicken is my favorite indian dish
@@yourun3577 its not mongolian, its just called that

Next recipe added to section "Done with Aaron and Claire". Delicious! And now I'm even more confident in kitchen thanks to your tips. I've replaced some ingredients like corn syrup with maple syrup, corn starch with potato starch and chicken bouillon powder with hondashi. That's just what I had in my pantry 😉 and it was awesome! thanks!
Very Good. It was so easy to prepare and make. I served mine in dolsots.
