    Your channel is awesome.

You as an Asian American producing, translating and getting sponsored is what got this channel successful. As a Chinese Canadian who lives in a very white American city now, I appreciate your content very much and kudos to your family for making this sustainable!

  • @SL_LCY
    @SL_LCY 2 роки тому +5

    Just a lil info. In Cantonese culinary school, this dish is a benchmark to test if a Cantonese chef is able to master the skill of playing with the wok.
    Because fresh ho fun(rice noodles) is very easy to break and stick in the wok, and restaurant wok is big-sized and heavy cast iron with a super high heat burner. So a good chef is able to use minimal oil but make the ho fun not stick together or to the wok, can be light-handed so not break the ho fun, good at time control so can caramelized the noodle but not burn it, strong in wrist can do wok-spinning to distribute the sauce evenly, if not careful everything would be ruined in a short time.
    So a good beef ho fun should be not oily at all, dry in the body, no break or stick, everything distributed evenly, full of wok hey aroma(caramelization in a short period of time).

  • @cvcexcomm

    Solid video! I really like the fact that despite your dad's experience, he used a non-stick coated wok to make this dish instead of a commercial grade carbon steel wok. Definitely makes the video more relatable and lets the audience know that this is a dish that can be easily replicated in any home kitchen without fancy commercial cookware.

    • @raychang4185
      @raychang4185 Рік тому +4

      You can get a “fancy” commercial grade carbon steel for 20 bucks. A non-stick wok costs more. Plus non-stick had chemicals and you will not get true wok hei. I threw out all my non stick cookware years ago. Could not pay me to use those.

    07:03 a tip for knowing if the wok is hot enough, is to splash a few drops of water onto the wok. if the water droplets immediately sizzle and evaporates off, then the wok is hot enough. be sure to allow all the water to evaporate before adding your oil.

    Another thing the baking soda does is it raises the pH, which enhances browning from the Maillard Reaction. This is really important for stir frying at home because most people don't have a powerful burner.

    Thank you for posting these videos! So nice to listen to your dad talking in Cantonese, love the Q&A, and the feeling of sharing a meal with your family. This dish in particular I have been telling my friends is the kind that is best ordered from a restaurant because it is so difficult to make at home. After watching this video, I decided to give it a try again with my lowly non-stick wok and glass stovetop. The verdict: didn’t look pretty but tasted great. Some of the noodles stuck together and broke into really small pieces but I feel inspired to try again, minding the comments your dad said about flipping too often and too much moisture in the wok.

    Delicious ! Made this recipe 4 times now and every time it has come out amazing.
    For the meat marinade, I add:
    - 1tsp ginger
    - 1tsp onion paste
    - 0.5tsp chili flakes for spice
    I use dry Rice Noodles. Cover them with boiling water for 15mins (250g) - 30mins (500g) before you want to use them. Drain them and add a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

    Welcome back! Hope everyone has some much needed rest/vacation. Delicious looking dish as always. I can almost smell and taste it! Again, love when you and your dad hug; that is not very Chinese, nor the high five... hahaha... But I do miss the family meal discussion time -some history on the dish or questions people have. But otherwise, another perfect video!

    Randy, you and your dad make an excellent combination and when combined with your patron's questions, you are providing an excellent service to cooking.
    One idea for some of the videos you do is to do ones on the ingredients that your dad uses. Take this episode, a break down on rice noodles would be very helpful to those of us that did not grow up with these. (Fresh rice noodles in Boise, ID? Even here in Sonoma County fresh rice noodles are item that we have to go to SF or Oakland for.)
