About Yan Can Cook:
After receiving his formal restaurant training in Hong Kong, Chef Martin Yan immigrated to Calgary, Canada where he was asked to appear in a daytime news program to demonstrate Chinese cooking. The rest, as they say, is television history. In 1978, he launched the groundbreaking Chinese cooking series 'Yan Can Cook' on public television. Infused with Martin's signature humor and energy, Yan Can Cook has gone on to become a global phenomenon and has won multiple James Beard Awards.

Hahaha my brother and I always joke about "more flour more flour" and I knew it was from this show but I couldn't remember which episode. This made me laugh all over again. This is a great memory.
He is so proud and happy to share his culture. Loved watching this show as a kid.
8:30 Chef Yan got jokes for miles 😂 And he was right.. the person at home was smiling. 😄
Yan Can Cook was part of my childhood...i used to watch his show from television with my family together...
I as well
Yup, Saturday mornings/afternoons if I remember
Everyday after school!
same here In Montreal, later wkrp in Cincinnati show.. earlier Mash...that was good tv!
Mine too!!!
23:16 Martin Yan-"That was so f**kin' fun!" LOL
Arh, god bless the censorship back then. LoL!
WOW thank you for that timestamp, I love him so much more now. A real Chef.
More people need to see this wholesomeness
While all the other kids were on Nickolodeon and Cartoon Network, I was watching this. Grateful we never wasted money on cable or satellite back in the day.
This show, along with other cooking shows on my local PBS station, as well as Californias Gold and a few others was my childhood tv of choice. None of the “kids” shows for me, when I wasnt outside or doing homework that is. 😄 cable was too expensive. Playing outside with friends was pretty much free.
@@KonaFocus AND better for your health too, rather than watching cartoon all day.
Modern tv is missing this sort of educational entertainment. The stretching of the noodles is remarkable. Such talent. Things like that are needed nowadays on tv to inspire kids and young adults about all the sorts of talents they could develop. Artisanal noodle maker? Tick!
Really ahead of his time sharing hand-pulled noodle techniques with North American audiences.
I remember seeing this episode with my mom in the 1980s and was mesmerized by how beating dough against a table made it split into noodles (at least that's how my childhood brain interpreted it). Recently I've been trying to learn to make hand pulled noodles and have been going through RUclips tutorials, and I ended up finding this and went down nostalgia lane watching this for the first time in decades. I made Martin Yan's "Laughing Donuts" for my class's potluck in 1992. Good memories.
He’s one of the chefs who inspired my passion for cooking and I’ve subsequently made some of his dishes at home. And I may very well be doing more of them.
That is awesome! Thanks for watching.
Good for you, my friend! Enjoy!
This show brings back so many memories. I loved watching Martin Yan in the 80s-90s
"If Yan can cook, so can you".... odd how that saying stuck with me through all these years. 😆
This is the best cooking show and nothing can change my mind
The culinary Jackie Chan 🤣👍
What a classic. I remember watching Martin Yan on PBS in the 90’s. A true Masterchef! Hilarious as well 😂👌🏼
And why would anyone down vote a cooking video from Martin Yan?
Their finger must have slipped.
Or some bad bots invading the video!
Thanks for uploading.
Wow, I was 15 when this aired...
49 now, and this episode is timeless
Love Chef Yan...such lovely memories of watching him as a youngster
I absolutely loved watching his shows as a kit. I love his knife skills, it was the first time I'd seen anyone so that and it was amazing.
Martin was my first mentor in Chinese / Asian cuisine. So many memories. He is still one of my favorite people.
I watched this as a child on pbs. I’ve been looking for this same episode for probably 15 years and finally found it. Thanks
This was hilarious and I never forgot it after all this time.
We're so glad you were able to find it here. We have Seasons 2 - 5 published on our channel. From the Yan Can Cook early days!
Just saw him on reruns of Hells Kitchen. He was a judge. I was so excited. Great for him. Worth 10 million. He's great!
This is the best day of my life.
My favorite cook show growing up
Hilarious episode. So fun to watch. Good try, Tom 😂
I used to love watching this as a kid I was like five or six I loved it and was super bummed when it wasn't on anymore. I'm glad I stumbled across it again. I completely forgot how funny he was.
Love him! Great memories of watching him as a kid. His personality is electric.
Holy this is actually so fun to watch
He is so charismatic and has a great sense of humor
So many times as a kid, sick at home with the flu or whatever. Learning to love food and culture, we need more like this!
who's still watching this in 2021?
LOL shoving the flour in his pockets!! hahahaha
O loved this show as a kid. Especially loved it when he would toss things in his wok and he would exclaim "Yan can cook!". He was epic!
I saw him In Fresno Ca. I even have one of his signed knife and book.
Damn I thought he was gonna make the actual noodles! I kept watching and saw he actually did! Great stuff!
I would have jumped at the chance to learn hand pulled noodles. I went to Chef Wang restaurant many a year ago. Best food ever. I want to go to one of Martin’s shows. He was in Davis last year I hear. Missed out on that one. Always funny, great recipes, really miss the older more simpler days
As a Black woman, I'm truly enjoying this! I love Asian cuisine, especially Thai. This is a gem!
7:27 His flat noodle description is hilarious. 😂
I told my two daughters that I will try to make this noodles tomorrow and the younger one said: "Dad, you still gonna clean up your own mess including the ceiling, right?"
Did you succeed?
they don't make cooking shows like these anymore. lol
They don't make television like this anymore
its so much fun to watch back the classic show. including that they dont have to wash hand part, awesome!
I love him so much I loved watching him when I was little
poor dude just keeps going with the noodles while YanMan is done with him
His "look at dis" is so iconic lol. Loved this show as a kid
Back when gluten wasn't a curse word...
what a great show and ahead of it's time
Still my favorite cooking show of all time.
Yan Can Cook is a phenomenal show. So glad it’s getting a resurgence in love :)
I used to watch this with my grandmother and my family.... Time flies...
i cant even fathom how a insulting chef like gordon be so popular than mr yan who is so fun loving,hilarious cook and host.Also he been doing this even before gordon..
Insulting lol, have you seen the morons he deals with? Mfs trying to serve 3 day old chicken or cup noodles from a plastic cup lol. Have you never noticed how kind gordon is to servers? He's just honest and blunt with people who can't cook yet are supposed to be running kitchens
I use to visit family in NY every summer in the 80s and my grandma would always watch this show ugh such good memories
I never thought of a cooking show so funny hahaha
Martin Yan is still the undisputed King 👑👑👑 of Food(Let's not forget about those knife 🔪🔪🔪 skills! He has introduced our palate to authentic cuisine and demystifiede the process so that anyone can do it!!! Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!!!
P.S. when is your Noodle 🍜 restaurant coming East? Enquiring minds want to know!!!
I'm a noodle lover and I love watching this video.
And yet another great video
Yan is the best ❤
This was a really fun episode. Tom was a really good sport.
You know what? I didn't get this because I was born in the mid 90s but I'm so glad I stumbled on it. Stuff like this makes me hopeful I can cook because no one ever taught me how and I'm really bad at meal prep.
Just remember if Yan can cook, so can you! ^_^
who watched him more for the antics than the recipes?
My dad wouldn't eat Chinese food, but he loved watching this show. He was always impressed with his knife skills and his amusing personality.
I'm curious, why wouldn't he though?
@@LibeliumDragonfly Chinese food around here is the traditional takeout style. Lots of Fried everything and chicken based. My dad had a weird thing about not liking chicken. He was ALWAYS worried about his heart with the fried stuff. *Oddly on his death bed in the hospital he ate chicken and he said it was "delicious" .😂
@@EnlightnMe48 Oh man, pains me everytime when somewhere out there any place's standard of Chinese food is "fried everything, especially chicken".
I feel so sorry for you guys, especially when I am rolling in all this good food here in Chinese food capital Vancouver.
@@LibeliumDragonfly it's actually not so bad today. There's more variety other than fried on the menu. 🙂
I love Yan! Watched him as a kid! Ooooo Wanton!
I have been saying "look how beautiful" for years, but I forgot where it came from, until I saw this in my RUclips feed.
Amazing
I get po's father vibes from this episode
Wok with yan was my favorite. This show was featured in my algebra class him counting noodles.
Everyone's saying they made a fool of Tom Walton, but honestly he made a fool of himself. 🤣
Almost have to believe that he was an audience plant. Why on Earth would Yan stick flour in the guy’s shirt and pants otherwise?
I remember watching him as skid. Yang is still cooking. I wonder how old is hero forever and 40
I love it
Such nostalgia, like time travel to the 80s
uncle roger before there was uncle roger
18:31 is always my fav part XD
I remember watching this episode. Oodles of noodles.
Hisbslicing skill is perfect
Did he put flour in all the guys pockets lmao
i'm hungry for noodles now
Awesome tip see threw hands stretch noodle.... contest...
Nice
Wasn’t there a sequel episode where he brought Tom back to try his hand at noodles again?
Tom's a riot
Ahead of his time, NOW this hand made stretch method is the attraction at many Northern Chinese Noodles Restaurants.
He was like Bruce Lee in sharing his secrets with us round eyes!
Omg when he bang the doung i laughing so much 🤣😂
Omg me too!
It's interesting to find out about the actual meaning of chowmein 😃
16:06 the banging and slamming somehow stretches the gluten proteins to make pulling noodles way easier.
15:21
Yan's guest chef noodle making right here
I like this intro a lot…
Funniest episode ever
I'm looking for Tom's comment on here!😂😂
I’m going to sample that mad rudiment he plays on the chopping board.
The power of 2
Hand pulled noodles like this are hard to find in many North American cities. My city in Canada only got a hand pulled noodle place in 2016.
We gonna pretend Tom didn't come in here and dominate?
5:02 The subtitles should be Shaoxing wine.
God so funny
In asian noodle restaurants, we don’t order noodles in bowls, we order in 2exp-function.
🥱
I love China food
If Yan can joke, so can you.
18:30 is that Jon Arbuckle
...From Garfield? That's a deep cut.
And then
What is the noodle dough recipe being used here?
