Hey Laowinners!
The Patreons have voted and you guys wanted to see what an average, normal, everyday meal looks like in China. Chinese food is diverse, so we are covering Cantonese food today. We head to the wet market and buy all of our fresh Chinese ingredients, and head home to cook a normal Chinese meal. Vivi did her best!

Loved this episode of Vivi cooking! =D
I want Viv as my personal chef lolz.
Why do Chinese eat with their mouth's open. I noticed your wife doing it. Is it a cultural thing?
laowhy86 make that chinese music vid review a series by genre instead of just one vid
Yo bro feel like putting out less and less videos bro. Serpentza also :(.
"Today's steamed rice is tomorrow's fried rice."
LOL, today's Lǎo huǒ tāng is tomorrow's amazing dinner.
Spoken like a true asian
Just asian thing😁
Don't worry guys, all the fish fillets from our American supermarkets come from fishies that have generously killed themselves for us.
A moment of silence for their sacrifice.
the fishes ar elike I would rather die fresh and delicious than going straight into the freezer
Now I'm imagining a bunch of fish lining up to jump off of a building lol.
I’m not American but I would rather it be killed just before it is cooked because it is more fresh that way
Mass suicide 🤣
I grew up and was raised in Northern China, everything is different. We don't drink soup or eat rice that often. Instead we eat BBQ a lot, which is one of northern Chinese favorite food.
I think northern Chinese food is a lot closer to western food....different tastes and seasoning to western preparation, but still a lot of beef, pork, wheat products (noodles etc.) - less rice and less fish than southern chinese food. Its a lot heartier. I grew up in the west and have had some good authentic southern chinese food but I want to try more northern dishes!!!
I lived in boading in hebei and people eat rice in every meal a long with things like potato noodles, and meats. That’s how it was at school at least
@@cristiangranados9385 the difference are indeed become smaller everyday
China ki maa ki chut
oh wow, I had no idea, haha. That's cool to know though. thanks
"Savage" Oh my, I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣 your wife is amazing ! She's the type of housewife I wish I was !
3:57 “we use alcohol to get rid of the fishyness ”
*me when I’m dating guys*
oh no
ewwwwwww xD
not in that way yall ^^^
I Like Bichons AHAHAHAHA OMG SAVAGE! That is kind of funny though we eat fish probably basically every single meal multiple meals but we use flavors so it doesn't taste like fish yeah very confusing I don't like a fishy taste at all and I used to live in Hawaii and a lot of the fish there did not taste fishy so that's the kind of fish I like
I don’t get it lol
Guy: "Why you got to be so violent?"
Girl: "That's how we cook"
😂😂😂
This is really fabulous because it is very intimate and real! Something else that is wonderful is getting the translation on what the locals are saying. In most cooking, travel shows, you never get to hear what the people are saying and it makes them seem dumb in a way, because they are silent and don't say anything. I loved hearing how the lady was worried about you filming her killing the fish. It shows how much we are alike, and not so different. It is also marvelous to see what you really eat and how you cook it. Love it!
1 fish was harmed in the making of this video.
Truth
If I was a fish, out of all the fish in the sea, I would have been *that* fish thats how unlucky I am.
Truth
DUSaggin Rest in pieces, fishy.
Demands peta to take immediate action.
"Is it normal to have blood all over your kitchen in China?"
"Yeah."
*no hesitation*
Bryant Moop Lol gross I dont wanna eat fr a kitchen that has blood thank god I dont eat Chinese food
I guess you only eat processed food then. Where do you think your meat comes from?!
shh! be quiet!..
Brigitte McLean Lol pretty sure he thinks animals bleed rainbows.
Bryant Moop I mean... What about when you buy raw steak mate... Or other meats... Youre gonna get blood in the kitchen. No matter where you live.
Between Vivi saying "I'm a savage!" and Olivia running back for more "feesh", I think this is too much adorable for me to handle.
All of these people commenting on the fish, obviously have never been fishing. Where do they think the food in a market or grocery store comes from? Great video. Always interesting to watch how someone else from another culture does things.
i have been fishing and I kill the fish instantly. One hit in the neck and then you stab threw his heart. That's an instant death. Not hitting him to unconsciousness and leaving him alive.
@@accelerationgate5089 when the fishhead gets banged they die immediatly if you do it hard enough, one hit and the fish is dead, it's pretty painless since it's so fast
not always
Wait... the fish don’t grow in a tree?
I don’t exist For tax and insurance purposes where did they let it suffer?
"It's already dead"
*fish keeps flapping around*
Muscle contractions. All dead things do it.
@@jhgfd-sh9du you know, those westerners haven’t seen any fresh food.
@@presidentjiang6762 Arrogant and egotistical, learn to be humble or life will make you humble.
@@Andy-jw9ke thank you for your advice
Death reflex. I raise meat birds, and they do twitch even without their heads. You know the expression "running like a chicken with its head cut off?" Yeah, that's where it comes from.
"the eyes popped out so it's done" - I will remember that cooking tip
Would have been a great Halloween episode. ... But in China that's everyday. O_O
I dated a girl from Fuzhou area and the first time she made me dinner it was like this. She was nervous if I would like it but it was honestly some of the best food I have ever eaten.
Food made with love always tastes amazing.
I loved how viv said “savage”, so cute.
"The eyes has popped out, so it's definitely cooked"
-Vivi 2017 (about the fish)
0:37 ,,you can see they are alive‘‘ *fish swims upside down*
That's the fish you avoid. In the supermarket, you're not given that option, they're all dead.
Maybe bored. xD
Nah, just suffers from Hydro-Dyslexia.
That one is just.. special

"They are more alive and it's cheaper" Fish doing the backstroke.
YOUR BABY IS SOOOO CUTE....no offence, that was the best part. Your video was really good. Thank you for putting it up.
I bet she'd make a fortune as a child star in China.
The baby at the end was so cute!!! So cool that she's growing up to learn both languages too. ♥
Finally a GREAT video. Please, more authentic Chinese home cooking videos. It seams when you watch western dudes in China, all they do is eat in restaurants (boring), but this is great. Looking forward to learning how to prepare hot, spicy sour soup, dumplings, hand made noodles and red bean dessert :-)
John Solitude have you ever checked out thewoksoflife.com? I have made some pretty authentic meals from their site including things I thought I’d never eat.
Nice site Jerry. Thanks for the link, love Asian cooking.
this is not authentic chinese home cooking, she dont even know the basic chinese cooking also, I have visited many chinese friends house nowhere I saw anybody cooking this way, after finish cooking put salt and soya sauce..
Keep in mind though that China is a HUGE country and what is normal in one part is uncommon in another. If you head towards Xinjiang, you see lots of yak-related dishes, but you don't see those at all outside special restaurants when you're on the east coast.
Sudip Mitra China has so many cultures and ways to cook. That's why I requested this video. Even though my wife is from Hunan, and has her way of cooking, other areas cook different foods and cook differently.
YES WASH UR RICE! I’m Haitian and my step dad is Swedish and he doesn’t wash his rice, talkin bout “U don’t need to wash I because it boils at a high temperature”. Umm no...wash ur rice ppl
animeloverforever fan aleast he saved the water.
animeloverforever fan I am from Ireland. As rice is not our native food, most natives here don't know that you are supposed to wash the rice. I learned rice washing from Indian migrant woman.
I'm Swedish and everyone I know washes their rice.. it says so on the box as well haha
Well actually rice washing depends on the culture. Rice culture is very important here in Spain, many regions grow rice and almost nobody washes it so as not to take off starch for texture in most rice dishes. I think nearby countries like Italy do the same.
My turkish roommates ALWAYS washed the rice and got nervous when I told them I hadn't done the same.
Mom: "Finish your plate sweetie people are starving in China"
China: "Lol throw that meat out just drink the broth"
well, as a northern Chinese we don't do that
That was more of 50s-70s thing back when people still associated China with the Great Leap Forward and the massive famine that occurred. I'd be surprised if anybody tells kids today that there are people starving in China.
@@gymnopedie4445 my mom is a boomer and still thinks czechoslovakia exists
Hey here can any one can be my Chinese cooking teacher
I don't know about other families or provinces but my family never ever does that... usually we have the soup with the prok/chicken/beef
One parrot fish is wild and from the Ocean.(the one from the market).. the other orange parrot fish (in the aquarium) is from the Cichlid family and lives in fresh water. I believe it was cross bred in Taiwan.
Two very different fish.
OMG.....your daughter is so adorable such a lovely family overall.
What did u mean by "overall" lmao!
@@themerovingian4252 FUCK YOU BRO! That's a sright up bitch ass comment.
lol "overall". What does that even mean :p
Vivi, "savage" 💖😂😂 I just died. I love you guys. You just provided a perfect end to an otherwise crappy day. Thank you for sharing your lives✌💖
lol you're in youtube comments telling people to get a life. Vivi "savage" was awesome!
"Savage!"
I gave this video a like as soon as she said that! Lol
P
She deserves a bigger kitchen and more counter space to cook lol . You’re a lucky dude having a wife who cooks real food! Good video for sure. 👍
Bruh that’s the typical Asian kitchen experience lol
@@Bamiyanbigasf I know dumbass. You have anything else to say.
@@Bamiyanbigasf that's typical??? Chinese people got some good ass kitchens only thing in my kitchen is a microwave an oven and a 20$ ricecooker I got off amazon
Seriously the sweetest video from beginning to end. ❤️ New subscriber. I’m sure this video is old but it was recommended. Loving this content!
Buys a fish, kills it, it jumps off counter, gets blood all over the kitchen: typical Tuesday.
lol
It's because she put it on a metal plate with the exposed metal rim. It causes the muscles to react, use a non metallic plate and that doesn't happen.
She didnt wash the fish.
I think you were born without the ability to be funny.
yeah well they are not so soft as many europeans and US people are...
What a REAL Chinese Home Cooked Meal in China Looks Like: *FISH JUMPS FOR ITS LIFE*
yeah but still very yummy.
an straight to the dinner plate.
xDD
When that moment happend i bursted out laughing
I really enjoy listening to Vivi talk. I especially love to hear her say "usually" and "actually" :) she's too sweet... it's amazing to me how different authentic chinese food is compared to what we call chinese food in the u.s.
Thank you Vivi for showing what a real Chinese meal is
I gotta give Vivi a hand for doing this. Not everyone would be brave enough to do this unless they were a pro chief. It's good to see just an average person cooking an average meal. It's more educational that way.
Oh my gosh, your baby
Oh, yes... my babe.
Your baby is sooo sweet. :)
Chinese babies are always so freaking cuuuute
yes! melt melt melt!!
yeah! she's a cutie
So cute y’all! The connection between two cultures is simply amazing 😉
"Made you kill the fish in the driveway"
Great video from beginning to the end. It is really cool to see the family bond. Your daughter is a doll. It reminds me of my daughter when she was small. Hang in there and I hope things are going well off camera as well as on camera.
She's so pretty and funny....she could have her own cooking show.
Okay, so I'm low key in love with different Chinese broths and soups... So good!!
Viv is such a sweet lady and entertaining not just the cooking that story about your mom 😂 so funny the different cultures can be funny brought together.
"I'm just a normal chinese housewife, not a chef"...proceeds to cook circles around my expectations! bravo!!
heatherwanderer777. These are the basic cooking skills required for a Chinese house wife.
"Normally when people ask me who I am, I say, 'Just a housewife', but today, I'm an alchemist!... I mean, a chef..."
the daughter is SOO CUTE! she came back from seconds!!
"Water needs to be holy"
*Honey can you get me the bible im cooking chinese food!*
You rinse the rice to get rid of the starch so the rice is fluffy when you cook it and not starchy amd glutenous
"Vivi's Chinese Kitchen" should be the name of her new cooking show - she did an awesome job, C-Milk! 😁👍🏽
domino kanin stop spreading lies you troll. xD
The eyes pop out so its definitely cooked 😂😂😂😂😂
yeah it turns darker and darke...I like girls like she is :D
"Taste like my mom!" So Vivi! We love you, Vivi!
Max Capone so in China they eat their own?
@@obriets Lol I believe she meant to say it tastes like how her mom used to make it.
obriets no. She must have stole that line from a porno vid.
It's funny because in the market Vivi was acting humble by saying she's not a chef, she's just an average housewife and then we saw another side of her when she said SAVAGE
Great video, informative and entertaining. I especially liked the Explanation about the differences between Chinese and Japanese soy sauce. I try to make my food as authentic to original sources as I can. 🥰👏👏
That part when Vivi said "Savage" cracked me up. lol
"It is already dead" *Holds it down as it flails*
Jabberwockie did you not see the cuts in it?HOW IS IT GOING TO BE ALIVE WITH NO GUTS? Its nerves were just having a reaction to something(which is common in some dead animals AND people too)Some people are so stupid smh
Lol, yup, that’s real life stuff..,
A commenter said it reacted to the metal plate,
Omae wa mo shindeiru
Nolan NANI?!
first time watching one of your vids and it was wonderful, thoroughly enjoyed it, and the little one was so cute. thank you
Thank you! What a precious child! What kind of ceramic bowl is being used for cooking over gas flame without cracking?
I don't know how I got here but that meal looks AMAZING!
Peabrain same. I just ended up here randomly and now I am hungry...
me to.
Vivi I love your personality, you have a beautiful family! You taught me something new today. I honestly was looking for a few selections off of the buffet bar. And the way you cook that broth is similar to how we cook collard greens in the American South. We don't eat the meat but it seasons the vegetables or beans in the pot! 😁
Great fun video. Thanks for a peek into Chinese culture. She's totally right about the broth. I make bone broth all the time. Put the bones in a crock pot, cover with water, add a tablespoon of cider vinegar and cook on low for 3 days. That little bit of cider vinegar draws all the nutrients out of the bones. I do beef bones (gotta be grass-fed) and chicken bones. When you do chicken bones they come out very flexible like rubber because all the calcium and collagen has been leached out into the broth. Bone broth is one of the healthiest things you can drink.
Fun video! And that ending is adorable, haha. :D
In North China, fish is often fried with oil before further cooking. We don't often have soup, and we have less types of soup, especailly in average household. Vegetables are cooked in a similar way.
Meat is, in fact, very common. And whether it is beef, lamb or pork, Chinese people always make sure they are fully cooked. Many Chinese people are too proud of their cuisines and a little narrow-minded that they of laugh at foreigners eating "raw meat". They have their reasons to be proud. As one of them, I know it. But I hope they would one day learn to try something different and appreciate it.
Vivien, you give so much wisdom for coming home-based Chinese meals! Thank you!
These are great videos. I just recently found out that I’m a quarter Chinese and your videos have taught me a lot, thank you!
"Why are you so violent?"
"This is how we cook."
*_So True_*
the nominees are;
the kitchen fish!; two thumbs up for such an Alive performance in a home made video!
the dead aquarium fish!; Great performance as a supportive character!
I'll have you know I screenshot that comment and I'm pondering about printing it out and gluing it on one of my notebooks.
lol, great!!! ;)
Aww, I thought he was just swimming upside-down. 😉
Lol! Hella clever! Hella funny!
hi hi! ;)
I have watched this video at leat 8 times over the last year...it one of the coolest family cooking videos
1st time visitor - loved the video - you two are cute, and loved the cooking show!
Really good video. It’s so interesting to see genuine cultural food being prepared by people indigenous to a culture. Also: the “baby test” gets all my “awwwwws”.
Your daughter is crazy cute.
mixed gene means she would admire two regions of people
Androiid16 Sorry, I can't have anymore kids. So not really.
This is more than an average chinese home cook meal. I am from Hong Kong and so is my wife. Watching this I realise I've got a raw deal. C-Milk you are lucky man. Vivi is a terrific cook with a bubly personaility. She should start her cooking channel.
Vivienne Is adorable and the baby is too cute for words. The content of the show is great and the cute-ness just takes it to a whole nother level without even trying. It's just so much fun watching your show it makes me feel very happy. I love Vivienne's coking even if I can't taste it, I know it's got to be the best". "Love You Guys"
UA-cam's next big cooking show.
Babish wont know what's hit him.
Probably the fish hit him before being put in the steamer :P
Vivi must start her own "how to cook Chinese Meal" Channel.
Really enjoyed watching your videos, food looks lovely plus interesting to learn about chinese food well done Viv 😀
Omg I want more cooking videos! I wanna learn how to cook like this! Such fun content! 💚
You guys are the cutest. 10/10 best cooking show!
Hands down, your best video yet. Thank you both for sharing this. Just awesome.
You two are genuinely good people, I wish the best for both of you.
I think this might be one of the best videos done on this channel.
Lol the fish jumping.
Your kid is too cute.
I enjoy videos like this, keep it up! Good job. *baby eats food then runs away* lol
Great video!!! Love to see all you are cooking!! Thanks fo sharing!!
Be great if you did a whole series like this I love this
Shouldn't this be in Vivienne's channel? I think so! I learned something with the alcohol and vinegar. Great video.
Omg "Savage!" LMAO that was epic!
Awesome, I would eat that meal at least five times a week and love it.
Fresh ingredients make all the difference.
This episode was just so sweet that it made me smile.
This was a great video. I loved the family "home movie" vibe it had :)
How do you know when the fish is done?
When it's eyes are popping out lol that was funny 😂
Awesome video! Super authentic and really cool to watch 😄
Keep up the great content 👍🏼
That is funny why? It's disturbing. Imagine that being a cat or dog or human. Still funny?
It wasn't funny. The poor animal was suffering.
Vivie, That Look Amazing . Thank you for teaching .
It's 5am and now I'm hungry for a home cooked Chinese meal😋
This is one of the BEST cooking videos right now!
She is Awesome!
Your daughter is so adorable, and the meal looked delicious!👍🌞
I am so glad to see how well you all are doing.
Chinese cooking uses cooking wine a lot. It helps to decrease the smell of fish, smell and taste of the blood, etc... Also, when you stir-fry the egg, adding a little bit of cooking wine helps it to get fluffy as the wine evaporates during the process.
I just love Vivi! Not only is she beautiful, but she’s got an awesome personality. “Savage”!! 😂 Too funny.
yes.!
You're so lucky to have Vivi
Wish I was eating that right now!! Oh and Viv, you have an awesome attitude, I always thought chinese were so serious and only had sarcastic humour, nice to see you joking around!!
All you 3 in the family so so adorable..💖💝
Thanks for sharing..
The vegans are shook
As a vegan, i agree
LMAO accurate
I'm not a vegan, just a person with a conscience, so I was shook too. I doubt that fish enjoyed being cut open while still alive. Enlightened cultures have humanely killed animals before butchering them for millennia. It's common decency.
Ashley Young it's already since the time it got its head _bashed_ in _and then gutted_ way back at the market.
Earth, to start with, it was clearly alive when flopping around. Second, bashing a head until something is dead is not a humane way to kill something. There are actually methods that have been codified as humane, and you can look them up.
Vivi you're a great host! thanks for sharing the experience of cooking this meal
Really enjoyed this video thank you! Looks so good 🤤
Cute baby. Congrats. I just started following you this summer... and its good to see nice, happy, everyday china life videos. Keeping it positive!
