I gotta say, I think your Dad is living almost every man's dream life. He seems happily retired, spends time in his workshop and connecting with his family (including Bella).
Hi Amy, thank you so much for your videos. I’m a Chinese living in US alone, and my two dogs are my family here. Two days ago one of them passed away, it’s heartbreaking. Your videos have brought sooooo much warmth and comfort to my heart, especially your interactions Bella. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
I am so pleased that you are so into the Chinese culture. As a reference with enhancing to the next level of Chinese BBQ, It better to use lamb shoulder that is more tender and even fat instead of leg meats, buying spices from an Indian grocery shop instead of woollies, and replacing the coal with wooden charcoal.
Your video is truly spreading happiness, love, inclusiveness, and peace. Love the open-mindedness of you and your parent. Hope more people watching this video become more like that and make this world a happier planet.
i think with the hearts you're supposed to butterfly them, so there's more surface area to soak up the seasoning, also that'll make it taste more normal-ish instead of being a rubber ball that bursts when you bite lol
Loved the video! Chicken hearts are very normal here in Brazil. I usually marinate it in salt, garlic, chopped parsley and green onions. We also use skewers over charcoal here, just like shaokao!
With all the hate on Asian people going around today, it’s so nice and heartening to see such friendship between cultures. Good on you Blondie. PLs spread the word, Chinese are generally wonderful people and China is a great place. Thank you.
Wow I trust Amy can speak Chinese. Because not only the BBQ the same like in China but also "Yang-rou-chuan-er" the exactly the same pronounce with Chinese. Bravo!!! Amy.
Love the permanent undercover BBQ setup - you even have an exhaust fan. If you're going to be doing charcoal BBQ on a regular basis, I recommend getting a chimney starter, it makes lighting up the charcoal so much easier.
I grew up with chewy corn, but I always go for sweet corn every chance I get. I don't like sticky rice either. But I am little surprised and so glad that you find chewy corn so enjoyable!
This brings back memories of the 80’s when lamb was considered a poor mans meat and we had lamb skewers every weekend. We usually have chunks of veggies in between meats to give your stomach a break from meat overload 😁 Burwood night markets is on this Saturday, should take your parents for a night out.
Smoked mixture of cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, sea salt. You can smoke spices in a dry pan over low heat, give constant stir until all the aroma start to come out.
We've really been enjoying your videos - your family videos are really wonderful too ... so much so that this video inspired us to try and make 新疆烤串 at home - and it was a surprising success! Tonight I'm going to try and make something from Sichuan (辣子鸡) - really hope it turns out mouth-numbing good! We can't wait until the COVID cases to reduce a bit so we can go out and try many of the places that you visited with your family in Sydney (the only local one we tried so far was the Pancake King - which is awesome!).
Amy, I loved the video, always so enjoyable to watch. And, I certainly miss 燒烤, haven't had it for over a year. Can't wait to go again when it is safe for indoor dining here.
About the corn at 7:55, i was told it is the same type of 🌽 corn. In the west, the corn is picked up when it is still an infancy stage. It is very juicy, but not starch has been developed and stored yet. Once the corn is left to grow it will become starchy and become a better source of carbs.
a recommendation for you. I recently bought a fermentation pot to make the Sichuan style of sauer vegetable. it's quite practical and successful. maybe you can try it. and you can buy the seeds of chive from internet and plant them in your garden.
The lamb skewers look very tastyyyyy. But for chicken hearts, you should have give them a couple of cuts on the surface. And they taste better when they are dryer
Looks great! I do Chinese bbq sometimes in Canada, and of course probably not totally traditional, but similar. Luckily there are many supermarkets that cater to many cultures. I also tend to have a lot of mostly veggie sides - pickled daikon, a beansprout salad with sesame oil, green beans with lots of garlic. Things that a refreshing after a lot of meat and good for the vegetarians in the group too. I also use Chinese 5 spice along with the cumin and chili. Try making a Korean style bbq with the classic Korean sauces. Kimchi on the bbq is delicious too! And soju of course. I am a firm believer in shared plates and family style eating - so much more interactive and social plus you can try a whole bunch of things. Western style eating has its place where everyone orders their own plate, but I always think that people eye what others ordered and people end up stealing bites to sample anyway. The King of the BBQ might disagree but I always use hardwood charcoal not the formed briquettes. I find that they have a more natural smokey flavour, but that is just me! Really enjoy your videos. What a lovely group of people (and dog).
nice video! - I actually always get lamb shoulder coz it actually got more fat. And my favorate charcol is the orange bag from local BP shops in Melbourne, not sure if it's same for oz wide shops, - it's real wood and you can tell coz some are keeping the branch shapes. I think real wood charcols actually adds some flavor to it.
I live in the US and all the lamb I buy is Australian lamb. Anyway, my question is actually about your grill. It looks like half hibachi and half grated. Is the hibachi just a portable part or it's built in? I'm about to donate my old weber to my work lounge and buy a new one and yours looks interesting. The hibachi can be used as a pan or a reflector to radiate heat as the indirect method. Anyway, if you don't mind telling me the brand and model of it so I can do some research on that one. Thanks.

Better to be a dog than a lamb . Poor lamb
Thanks Eric for teaching me the skills and tricks. Yummy bbq, will definitely do it again and again!
Say hello to my future father-in-law.
You did a really good job!
King of barbecue! 👑🍖
Good job!^_^
try Chicken knee meat next time
Mom is sooo open minded! Love her!
我以前看过一个新疆人在知乎上分享的羊肉串配方，羊肉用洋葱和蛋清腌制半天，其他什么都不要加。串好后烧烤，5分熟撒盐，7分熟撒辣椒面，9分熟撒孜然。非常好吃，还有买的时候可以买块羊尾油，肥瘦相间地串。
挺会啊
我说有些店的烧烤肥肉里面没有一点儿筋膜，有的却很多，原来差别出在有没有用羊尾油。
哈哈哈，复制保存，下次自己做🤣
差不多这样，关键是火候以及加料的时机
I love dad's t-shirt "I don't need Google. My wife knows everything"
I think this is my favorite video you’ve ever done. The happy cultural exchange almost brought a tear to my eye.
So glad you liked it!

That's exactly what I would do haha
Thanks for the tips!! Will do that next time :)
@@BlondieinChina buy lamb from halal butchers too, such a big difference!
She really puts her heart into what she does.
I love that you family doesn’t hesitate of trying different cuisine!
Your video is truly spreading happiness, love, inclusiveness, and peace. Love the open-mindedness of you and your parent. Hope more people watching this video become more like that and make this world a happier planet.
It just make me happy watching your videos, no matter how bad my day goes
Bella: ‘May I have a doggie bag for the hearts, please.’
Your dad’s Google t-shirt gave me a genuine belly laugh. Love your videos!!
Thanks so much!
Your dad's google shirt is the BEST! I can relate to it. Another winning vlog.
"size doesnt matter".
Hahahahah glad you liked it!
i think with the hearts you're supposed to butterfly them, so there's more surface area to soak up the seasoning, also that'll make it taste more normal-ish instead of being a rubber ball that bursts when you bite lol
yup,but butterfly shape kinda tricky cause it's easy to cook them very dry so i wouldn't recommend unless your fire control is good
Loved the video! Chicken hearts are very normal here in Brazil. I usually marinate it in salt, garlic, chopped parsley and green onions. We also use skewers over charcoal here, just like shaokao!
OMG the Australian weather! Makes those of us who live in the Europe just want to fly over immediately!
Very wholesome. Thank you for the positivity
Blondie's dad has competition, Eric is just as funny haha :D
Love this video! Everyone is so positive and content (even Bella haha). Bella is so adorable. Love these videos with your family and friends.
"We got the Aussie BBQ and we got the Chinese BBQ...size doesn't matter." It's not the size of the meat, but the motion of the marination.
Blondie you are keeping the Chinese culture alive.
Been obsessed with your video recently, appreciated the positivity!
Thanks Chris!
With all the hate on Asian people going around today, it’s so nice and heartening to see such friendship between cultures. Good on you Blondie. PLs spread the word, Chinese are generally wonderful people and China is a great place. Thank you.
Are you chinese
Love Amy's persoanlity! So super fun and quirky
你好，美女
Very glad seeing that you guys enjoyed the Chinese BBQ and also shared this great video in English!
I love this family. They are typical Aussies, nice people!
I am so sorry for Bec, how does she survive in your family hahaha
太有趣了， 我有时候放假也会和亲戚朋友们在爷爷家院子里烧烤， 孜然和蜜糖必须有
Wow, this is similar to Korean BBQ and I would love to try these too. Great job miss, very inspiring and enjoyable!
Wow I trust Amy can speak Chinese. Because not only the BBQ the same like in China but also "Yang-rou-chuan-er" the exactly the same pronounce with Chinese. Bravo!!! Amy.
Happy family, Blondie, u have good mom n dad besides good Chinese friends
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I'm totally hooked! Keep up the good work. I'll try to do one at home as well
Thanks so much!!
Love your videos Amy! Especially those featuring mum, dad & sis ❤️
哈哈 我觉得妈妈很开放又勇敢
Love how your dad's got his special apron for BBQ

Burwood night markets is on this Saturday, should take your parents for a night out.
Looking at you guys enjoy eating the Chinese & Australian BBQ styles make me feel really hungry and I can't stop my saliva dropping from my mouth.
Bella has a lot of heart.
Well done! Household enjoyment. If the heart skewers are cut in smaller pieces or maybe in half I think it will be easier to season and eat.
Sooo lovely and entertaining this! And that Chicken Heart Crazed dog! Lol
wow wow wow! Those skewers look amazing! I think I'm having Chinese bbq skewers tonight!
Enjoy!!!
This was so fun and interesting to watch! Might have to invest one for myself 😍
Great video. It was just as informative and helpful as it was entertaining. Thank you for putting this together.
Real Xi‘An night market feeling with your delightful skewers. Love it. And big hands to your family and friends. What a treat
I'm literally eating BBQ while watching this video 😂
hahaha love it!
Smoked mixture of cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, white pepper, sea salt. You can smoke spices in a dry pan over low heat, give constant stir until all the aroma start to come out.
Your dad's shirt 😂" I don't need Google, my wife knows everything"
Lovely family
Bella has a big heart.
It's a great enjoyment for watching you guys have so much fun!!
So awesome watching guys having fun bbqing..

I have an idea Amy. Your dad should go to China and open a shop that sells Xinjiang style lamb skewers. 🤣
Of course her dad can do that. Xinjiang is very peaceful, the western medias just spinned of the facts and demonized it.
nah, that's cultural appropriation.
“You’ve eaten brain. Heart’s not that hard.” Lol. Love the mom.
lol Bella is so cute. Enjoying bbq chicken hearts more than ppl 😂
I absolutely LOVE your videos!!
How fun...it was a good idea doing both Chinese&Ozzie barbeque (barbecue) side by side..
my goodness, Eric is really a professional BBQ chef.hahaha
u have such a lovely parents
Ur dad ‘s t-shirt was the Best in this video. I dont need Google My wife knows all😂😂
Haha your Chinese dad is so funny :). Food looks so good!
Wollie’s ground chilli is surprisingly hot. Strongly recommended for Chinese BBQ
Diversity makes life so much more interesting and that makes Australia a wonderful place.
100% agree
a recommendation for you. I recently bought a fermentation pot to make the Sichuan style of sauer vegetable. it's quite practical and successful. maybe you can try it. and you can buy the seeds of chive from internet and plant them in your garden.
it looks so good
Love the puppy. So adorable!
The lamb skewers look very tastyyyyy. But for chicken hearts, you should have give them a couple of cuts on the surface. And they taste better when they are dryer
Imagine a wolf saying that about humans
I'm watching middle of the night and it's making me so hungry 😋
Hello Lau..
I'm sorry for disturbing you. You are beautiful and I wish we can be friends.
u can also prepare some oil and put on the skewers when cooking in case they get too dry
In preparing the chicken heart, we usually cut it half the way and wash away the clogged blood left therein before cooking.
When I do Chinese style bbq at home, I do not marinate the lamb/beef. 烤的时候会加盐，五香粉，孜然，辣椒，最后放一点点白糖.
your father is really wearing the King of BBQ apron oh my ladygaga
massage heart... hahaha. Blondie's mom is so lovely!!
Looks great! I do Chinese bbq sometimes in Canada, and of course probably not totally traditional, but similar. Luckily there are many supermarkets that cater to many cultures. I also tend to have a lot of mostly veggie sides - pickled daikon, a beansprout salad with sesame oil, green beans with lots of garlic. Things that a refreshing after a lot of meat and good for the vegetarians in the group too. I also use Chinese 5 spice along with the cumin and chili. Try making a Korean style bbq with the classic Korean sauces. Kimchi on the bbq is delicious too! And soju of course. I am a firm believer in shared plates and family style eating - so much more interactive and social plus you can try a whole bunch of things. Western style eating has its place where everyone orders their own plate, but I always think that people eye what others ordered and people end up stealing bites to sample anyway. The King of the BBQ might disagree but I always use hardwood charcoal not the formed briquettes. I find that they have a more natural smokey flavour, but that is just me! Really enjoy your videos. What a lovely group of people (and dog).
Awesome video - you should try alternating between restaurant dining and home-made cooking.
鸡心需要提前对半切开但不要切断，这样腌制会更入味且烤得更好。
I like your videos you much every time I watch it I am laughing with you guys
I use whole grain cumin and cumin powder at the same time, trust me they taste different in a way.
Like cumin seeds?
@@sfhgdshj6944 ya
Finally, you found the right way to BBQ. I did that a lot at home.
Your dad is going ham on the spices, he even put spices on the corn! LOL
Very nice video and awesome lamb barbie. You know that makes sense. I'm not Sam Kekovich! LOL.
King of BBQ 🙇🏻♂️
nice video!
- I actually always get lamb shoulder coz it actually got more fat. And my favorate charcol is the orange bag from local BP shops in Melbourne, not sure if it's same for oz wide shops, - it's real wood and you can tell coz some are keeping the branch shapes. I think real wood charcols actually adds some flavor to it.
Cumin, chili powder and salt are the essential.
But the wuxiang fen (Five-Spice Powder) could be introduced too.
Over in msia we don't have the Chinese version..But we have native Malay style call satay
Love watching home cooking video.
What a nice family!
that chicken heart is spot on. Amy you can try the chicken body, i mean in chinese is 鸡架 , bbq it on the chinese bbq rack, you'll love it 😄
18:39 - You've eaten brain. Heart's not that hard. LMAO
I like adding garlic powder, MSG, and a teeny bit of sugar to my spice mix!
After watching your video, that would make me want to try the Xinjiang-style BBQ at home.
I live in the US and all the lamb I buy is Australian lamb. Anyway, my question is actually about your grill. It looks like half hibachi and half grated. Is the hibachi just a portable part or it's built in? I'm about to donate my old weber to my work lounge and buy a new one and yours looks interesting.
