      okay, nice and easy, but why not just fry the garlic in a little oil then pour?

      ​@@mixedmediaartgirl300 Presumably, to flash it with oil is that magic median between cooked fully (flavorless) and raw (only one in my family actually likes that, and it's me) where you get a perfect garlic flavor.

      OK. THIS is the home-cooked food I really want to know the most. What does grandmother make? What would a grandfather insist? How easy yet elegant this dish! So much more than simmered vegetable and a pat of butter but not overcomplicated.
      Our table on this estate relies on food additives. Big part of my reason for seeking home cooking international is the pursuit of a round table to offer my family and enjoy.

      @@KevinWJenner well, she's the expert. every dish i have made of hers is the perfect flavor!!! I've gotten an entire new set of staples in my home because of her channel and made so many authentic and delicious things I can't even eat out any more because it doesn't taste as good, and you end up paying so much on top.

      @@mixedmediaartgirl300 Oh yes! Welcome to the club... 😉 When I discovered the OTHER home cooking (international), everything changed; including my health. She is truly expert indeed, I'm sure both meant to do this and an amcestral mother of the movement. Integrating all this into my life, I mostly hope to see ALL of the thousands' year-old cultural means such as cookery survive.
      I'm thinking some certain bases she does cover on terms of Cantonese, at least down some certain line of thought. I wouldn't be surprised to find out her recipes are drawn from The Chinese Analect! Here's to said success!

    My husband of 32 yrs is Cantonese, he never taught me this, nor does he cook it this way!!! He LOVES his veggies (he is a Rabbit) so next bunch of Choi Sam is going to be cooked this way, I think it would make him so happy! Wondering if this would work with Kai Lan as the stem is harder - just boil stem longer?

    • @zeflute4586
      @zeflute4586 4 місяці тому +4

      "he is a Rabbit"🤣. As a Chinese I feel that, we eat tons of veggies. It would work with Kai Lan, if you dont want harder stems just cut some off like dealing with asparagus.
      I also recommend Shii-take Bak Choi 香菇油菜 and Spring Onion Oiled Romaine 葱油生菜, which are very common home-cook dishes in China that share a similar role on the table.

    instead of just hot oil. I like to make a brown sauce with 3:2 ratio of Oyster to Soy Sauce, a teaspoon of rice vinegar and sesami oil and a bit of Sriracha. I thicken this in a pan with water/cornstarch, and pour it over the Choy Sum and Garlic

      evamz9584,
      UA-cam is great for free classes in how to prepare Asian cuisine, I started years ago with a famous cookbook called The Modern Art of Chinese Cooking, by Barbara Tropp, it has everything you ever wanted to know on how to cook
      Chinese, and if you don't have the right gear, what you can use instead, it listed every ingredient in the back, which brand was best and where you could get it. She also listed many vegetables and how to prepare them, but there are many more when you actually go to an Asian Market so you can feel a bit lost. When I first started cooking Chinese I made a list of all the ingredients (with the brand), and I still have that list to this day. You might want to try doing it that way. Buy yourself a really nice wok, with a burner base for gas and a domed lid, buy the wok spatula and spider strainer, have a good sharp chefs knife for chopping vegetables and cutting up meats, also a 10 inch bamboo steamer with at least two preferably three levels. Next study this young lady and watch her technique, but also check out Seonkyoung Longest also here in UA-cam to see what tickles your tastebuds, and start simple, most Asian cuisine is a lot of prep work, but once you get that all done the rest takes literally seconds. I hope you do give it a try, you won't regret it! Cheers
