      Hiya, can you and your dad teach us how to cook beef brisket noodles. I miss that dish so much. I tasted that dish while in HK and fell in love with it. Tried a few similar recipes on YT but just can't get that same taste as in HK. BTW do you know what those noodles are called? The texture is bit bit rubbery and very thin. Went to an Asian supermarket can't seem to find them.

      Great if you can let us know whether it's young ginger or old ginger to be used. Have you tried using ginger powder or ginger essential oils? Wonder if it works.

      Centre the video's attention on when he teaches though: @4:46 - 'It's already done, see?'
      Better to focus the camera & editing on the instruction - "look" when told "see" - instead of setting the recording up to prettify imagery the teacher doesn't deem important.

    I could listen to him speaking Cantonese all day! I was this poor little white kid that was essentially adopted by a Chinese family (well they just let me hang out with them for endless hours) all through the years of my youth. I was immersed in the culture and language. It was the most incredible experience for me. Now that I am very much older watching this family on RUclips videos feels like going home again for me. I miss those early days and the wonderful Lew family. I used to understand most everything that was spoken in Cantonese and could speak it fairly fluently, but as they say you lose what you do not use. Anyway my love for Chinese people is deeply ingrained. I never thought I would live to see such anti Asian sentiment in our society as it is these days. Makes me want cry. If the haters only knew what loving and kind people that they are rejecting and missing out on. SMH

Thank you for the time and effort to capture your dad's wisdom and sharing it with all of us.

      @lovice 3 года назад +4

      Actually, when Sichuan Red Oil (Sichuanese people don't call it chili oil, but red oil) is made correctly, "gentle and subtle" are also required. For instance, within the so called red oil there are at least three different types of dry red chilies. And each type needs to be "cooked" at different time and with different oil temperature. The ratio of each type of chili needs to be exact. Of cause, the taste of different sauces/oils are totally different. One is spicy and the other is salty. But both needs to be "香".

      @@j565tyty This is a super late reply, but from what I've heard, olive oil is not advised for a lot of wok-based stir-frying dishes, because we like to let the oil get super hot in the wok (e.g. in the video he lets the oil heat before adding the ginger) and olive oil has a lower smoke point.

    Hi Randy, I am from Malaysia. Glad to see you and your dad passing down the Cantonese heritage to everyone who is interested to cook the Cantonese cuisine. For the ginger-scallion sauce, I have tasted how a friend cooked it and it was absolutely heavenly. She makes it slightly different from your dad's. She actually uses the blend of the chicken oil and stock that accumulates when one steams the chicken (known as 'Kai jap') as the base with sesame oil and salt to flavour it. Maybe your family can try it out to see the difference. Another side dish we add to our chicken rice is a local tangy delicacy we called acar. It enhances the chicken rice to a new level. All the best!

      This is how it's traditionally done in cantonese cooking, but yes, you can do variations to this recipe that are done in other asian regions. I have heard of the ginger-scallion sauce being prepared in the style you describe from a Singaporean chef for Hainanese Chicken Rice.

    There's just something about the way Cantonese sounds that just says... "Hey man, let's hang out." So inviting and, embracing almost.
    Maybe it's the southern thing? Perennial warm weather and high humidity? Because I sense something a little similar here in United States - southern accents are just so damn friendly.

When you move from south to north in the USA, they mostly keep to themselves and/or claim they can't understand your accent. And forget trying to find good BBQ!
