    Great video, in order to get my daughter to eat greens, I added pacific clams to your recipes. Now I have no problems in getting her to eat kai lan /baby kai lan and as pacific clams are pretty pricey, I sometimes use prawns with the tail on...taste great too :)

    To me, the best Chinese restaurant is the SUN WAH.It is located in the North side of Chicago at Broadway and Argyle (on Broadway). I have been visiting this restaurant for around 30 years.
    I was watching when they take out the Gailan flowers, they don't use them in the food. I did ask to the owner what is the reason for that, the owner told me: because in the flowers is a big concentration of insecticides.
    Incredible, this is to take care of customers and...attention to details...bravo Sun Wah, I love that !!!

      Hi Jahstice. You can replace oyster sauce with mushroom sauce. It looks like oyster sauce except that it’s made with mushrooms. Tastes almost the same too. As for fish sauce, you can use light soy sauce instead. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!

      Are you able to heat up the oil and then pour it over the chopped garlic? That will help to increase the fragrance of the garlic. After that, you can just add the rest of the ingredients in. As for water, use hot water so that it can melt the sugar. Hope this helps.

      Good morning from Singapore, Cheng Jun! Opps sorry about that. We also just learned that kailan is called Chinese broccoli. 😆😆

    does blanching vegetables reduce a significant amount of the nutrients? all the nutrients are dissolved in the water, yet you don't use the water

    Hello, my family don’t like the taste of fish sauce, can we just add more ShaoXing wine or we should replace with something else?

      Hi Gabriel. Please replace fish sauce with light soy sauce. Hope this helps 👍🏻👍🏻

    The reason for adding sugar that's because this vege has a slight bitter taste and sugar will neutralise it

    I have this issue whenever I cook Kailan vegetables. After cooking, there's always a kind of taste which we find it strange. It's a bit bitter and tastes somehow like chemicals. I tried various types of kailan, both locally grown or from Hong Kong. Most give the same weird taste after cooking, even the ones from Hong Kong. Those from China are the worst. However organic Kailan tastes fine with no such strange aftertaste. Someone told me it's due to the pesticides used on these vegetables. But I always wash my vegetables with salt or baking soda to get rid of those harmful pesticides and dirt. So I cannot fathom why Kailan and sometimes certain vegetable species have such strange bitter and chemical-like taste after cooking. I reckon the source of the vegetables is important? Can anyone here enlighten me?

    • @spicenpans
      @spicenpans  6 років тому

      hmm yeah we agree that sometimes kai lan can taste a little weird. Never occurred to us though the source of vegetables is important until you pointed it out. What you said could be true.

      I’m not sure either but I think blanching the vegetables or cooking it with ginger as done in the video should be able to remove the bitter taste. Nothing to worry about though hehe it’s the nature of it

    I have been attending the Sun Wah restaurant for more than 40 years which is located in the North side area of Chicago, Broadway and Argyle, on Broadway. One day I saw a group of employees sat down getting rid of the Chinese broccoli (Gai Lan) flowers (they don't use the flowers), I did ask to the owner what was the reason for that, he told me...BECAUSE IN THE FLOWERS IS THE BIGGEST CONCENTRATION OF INSECTICIDES. to me, if you don't know what you are doing when cooking...you can kill some one!!!
