just a few months ago my chinese grandma had two chickens grazing in her backyard. soon she invited us to dinner and no chickens in the yard and the final course was some chicken soup. i found it quite funny bc she used to be a relatively successful farmer in the 70s-80s in vietnam. my little brother asked, “did grandma kill the chickens?” everyone said, “of course!” hahaha
I was always told, never get too attached, they are not pets. World round, people cook for example a chicken when a guest comes. It is a sign of respect to feed from their own. Likewaise it is rude to not eat after going through that all. Traditions!
Hello there! Please advise and educate people that using clay pot is tricky because the clay pot can break if you don't understand transparency about temperature. Cheap clay pot can break easily if you don't understand the principles of feng shui with temperature. ETN...
Hello there! Do we watch Shaolin Kungfu movies with Gordon Liu? Chinese Shaolin Kunfu chefs. If you have oil, you can hurt your yourself around a person who does not know how to use a deep fryer in a kitchen. Do you know how to clean oil spills before the chef slips and slides in the kitchen with a knife in hand? You move out the way when the chefs slips on oik..! Lol? ETN...
Ah, the cured pork hung outside brings back memories. My wife, who was from Guangzhou, prepared a couple of pounds of pork just as shown in the video and hung it from a tree in the backyard. That was when I learned we had a colony of wasps (Vespula vulgaris) living in the backyard underground. They ravaged the meat. I made a screened cage to hang the pork in, but it wasn't tall enough for long pieces. When winter came and the wasps were dormant, I attacked them by pouring boiling water into the nest and then I dug them up. About 1 1/2 feet underground was a block of concrete, evidently part of an old foundation, which weighed about 40 pounds. The wasps had built their nest around it.
the only thing I never liked about his shows is he always seems so rushed.. would love to see one where he takes his time and talks it out instead of being in a hurry
i dont think ive seen a slow chinese person beside myself being only half, though my vietnamese dad is the opposite of slow. maybe the relaxed life in the us has given me a similar temperament
It's part of the style dude! Of course, the show basically follows the stereotype that Chinese cooking = Kungfu. So the stir fry is just like fighting.
Love Martin I have been watching his show since I was a kid in the early 90’s on pbs station and fortunate enough to live so close to SF China town.
I've been watching you sense 1998. I love your cooking. I've learn a lot. Thank you so much. ❤🙂🥀
I saw programmes on start v in 1992-93
My favourite chef of all time ❤😍
I loved your shows, watched with my Mom, and we would do your recipes. I still have my wok!
I got my wok there, now it is here with me in Italy.
For real? So they let you have it?
and now I know how to tell dark from light soy sauce
This is an interesting video about different woks of life. :D
He always talks like his mouth is watering when he is cooking

Who cares? The technique that he displays spans so many cultures. A true cooks cook.

What can you substitute the eggplant with if you're like me and hate eggplant?
soft potatoes
I would suggest zucchini or yellow squash.

3:10 CHICKEN IN A BAG NICE!
so many sauces. It would be interesting to change the bought sauces for the basic ingredients
itd be too much of a hassle to make these sauces really and their taste would be relatively the same, but it would be interesting to see
animals could be treated better
Mmmm.... nice! He keeps saying that all through the show! Under study to Gordon Ramsey perhaps!

Then you get wet maggot pork. 👍🏻

Hello there!
Working in the kitchen is very dangerous.
You need to know some kungfu and move around chefs with knives.

i'm willing to bet that butcher shop got raided by the health department after this aired..
