    I really appreciate the fact that he explains the logic behind WHY things are done rather than just saying "do this". Ex: I never understood why chinese cuisine frequently blanches beef/pork. I never saw the point of it.

    • @kpewliu4348

      I don't know if it's true for all chinese, but many southern chinese don't really like our meat smelling too strong or gamey. Washing meat thoroughly before cooking and/or blanching it reduces the smell, and taste intensity

    • @yuhintse6759
      @yuhintse6759 2 роки тому +4

      What Kpew said is true, but we don’t blanch beef or pork for every dish since we can’t marinate the meat. So we just usually wash it if we do need to marinate it.

    A Singaporean here! Actually, "Singapore Noodles"/星洲米粉 is a common dish that can be found typically in a local zi char (煮炒) stall. It's really interesting though because over here, in Singapore we typically call it "Xin/Sin Chow Bee Hoon" in English. The ingredients used are different but the essence of the dish is roughly the same!

    There was a story I heard about how the name Singapore Noodle came from, it was actually a Hong Kong chef visited a Singapore restaurant in the 60s, as the time was quite late and the restaurant had ran out of normal ingredients in his normal menu, he then picked up all the remaining ingredients in his kitchen and came out with this dish. The Hong Kong chef was amazed by the dish and later brought it back to Hong Kong and named it as Singapore Noddles.

    It's been twelve years since my grandmom passed, my mom's retirement age, and all us cousins are raising our own families now. But everytime I taste this "my fun" - a part of my mind takes me back.

    I grew up eating this a lot as a Chinese-American (she is fuzhounese; dad is canto, both from Vietnam though)! Did not know this was called Singapore Noodles either, so the history lesson was really interesting! My mom used to make variations of this without any curry, so I was not aware it was an ingredient in the "real" version! She'd normally use oyster sauce with soy sauce. She'd also not boil the vermicelli but rather just soak it for a couple minutes in near-boiling water in a bowl. With the eggs, we'd make extremely thin pancake-like shapes (to where you don't have to flip them; the heat will cook through to the top) and then finely chop them up (which makes the process take even longer). I hope to make this again soon since it's been a while. Thanks for sharing this!

Echoing other Singaporean viewers here, we don't see it at home. But from your explanation, it makes sense it's called "Singapore" noodles, since the ingredients are from a mix of different cultures found here in melting pot Singapore.

      Obviously stir-fried rice noodle dishes exists all over Southern China & SE Asia, but [Sing Zau Chaau Mai] "Singaporean Fried Rice Noodle" is a classic HONG KONG dish. I.E.: it has NOTHING to do with Singapore, as this video had made abundantly clear.
      HK chefs added curry powder to a normal Cantonese stir-fried mai fun/ mi hoon/ bee hoon & just called it "Singaporean" because #currypowder. It's available in every cha chaan teng (cheap cheap mom & pop diner) & HKers are obsessed with this dish (it's a lot of people's go-to when we don't know what to eat).
      You Singaporeans are famous for Hainan chicken rice but it doesn't exist in Hainan. Same thing.

    I'm from Malaysia, northern neighbour to Singapore. Here, we have Xin Zhow Mai Fun / Singapore Vermicelli also using curry powder. And because we have fresh ingredients, a bit of curry leaves are added in to give that extra aroma. Here, there is another variant of Singapore Vermicelli that uses tomato ketchup to replace the curry powder. This variant tastes slightly sweet sour and taste great too.

Perhaps best be careful about cutting raw and cooked meats on the same cutting board.

      According to Natasha Pack, a food journalist at the South China Morning Post, Singapore noodles were created in the 1950s or ’60s by chefs in Hong Kong who may have used the name in order to add panache to their stir-fried noodle dishes. And since Hong Kong was then a British colony and a booming trading hub, spice powders and curries from the previously British-ruled India were readily available, prompting the cooks to use these ingredients in their dishes.
