I just received my copy of the book. It is a truly beautiful item, in both content and production quality. The inclusion of the QR codes to link to the original videos for each recipe is a stroke of genius.
Considering that Char Siu is the first recipe that you ever shared on your channel, this shows how far you had come on this journey. As a long time subscriber I'm thrilled to see upgraded and updated recipes of your older videos which I already loved.❤❤
I just tried the recipe. I must say I tried many recipes your old one as well as many others from well known chefs. They had all one thing together they where all close to the real thing and almost similar to proper Hong Kong style char siu, but this recipe is 💯 % AUTHENTIC! BEST ONE EVER!!!❤
Hi Mindy 老師！ I just ordered 3 copies of your new cookbook - one for each of my two children, who are half Chinese and, due to their (late) mother's cooking when they were growing up, both have "Chinese stomachs". The 3rd one is for me, because after 40+ years of marriage, I also can't live without home cooked Chinese food! I also own your carbon steel wok, which is much better than my old one in terms of quickly reaching and maintaining the high temperature needed for many of your recipes.
I think I started watching your channel because of your first video on cha siu! I had just moved to Japan and was missing the kind of cha siu you'd find from the old Cantonese places back in the US. The cha siu in Japan, while good on ramen, is nothing like the OG cha siu. Congratulations on your book, Mandy!
Have to say the true. All of your video is the answer of my journey to learn Chinese cuisine. Even my mom get a new recipes from you. Thank you so much.
Hi Mandy ! You are fantastic ! A kind of great doctor, or scientiste of cooking ! I love you and your cooking videos, your voice, your smile and when you taste foods it's seems always that the taste is almost comming to me ! I am a 69 years old French woman, and I admire your knowledge. You are a brilliant and energetic young woman and you give a lot of joy to the people. Congratulations for your book. I am sure I will love it when I get it. This recipe is perfect like you. 🤩
Bonjour! 🌸 Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful message-it truly touched my heart! Knowing that my videos bring joy and a sense of connection, especially across continents, is the greatest reward. Your words mean so much to me, and I’m so honored to have your support. I hope the book brings you as much joy as the videos, and I can’t wait to hear what you think when it arrives. If you ordered it on Amazon, I’d love it if you could share your thoughts by leaving a product review-it really helps the book reach more people. Wishing you a holiday season filled with happiness, warmth, and delicious food! Merci beaucoup! 🌟❤️
@SoupedUpRecipes your answer makes me very happy too, it touches me deeply. You know all this is an exchange between people who love others, who like to share and who are always happy to give. You are very generous and you deserve a lot of compliments and success. I don't really like all these silent videos that we see on the Internet. I like people like you who speak to us directly, face to face. OK for the book, just I think I must wait until 2025. Add:I just went to Amazon just to put it in my wishlist and I'm surprised because it is not avalaible. I saw it but, It is not in stock at the moment. Hope it will be in january😊❤
Mandy...it turned out BETTER THAN TAKEOUT! Seriously, it's delicious and better than some BBQ pork I've had at my local restaurants. Thank you so much for your videos and book!
I stumbled into the original video many years ago when this was just a tiny new channel. I've tried quite a few recipes for char siu, and the original Souped Up Recipes one is still my favorite. I'm very curious to try this one. Thanks for posting. 😁
I Can't wait for my copy of your cookbook to arrive :) you are my favorite chef. Been Watching your videos for over 6-6 1/2ish years. I can definitely say your Recipes are the best I've ever had. I have your wok too and plan to be buying the knife set, stainless steel pots & pans set and much more in the future.
I’m so glad my cookbook made it onto your holiday list! 🎁🍜 Wishing you many delicious adventures in the kitchen-may every recipe bring joy and warmth to your celebrations. Happy cooking and happy holidays! ❤️✨
I will reduce the Tapioca Starch next time. My marinade turned out to be way too thick and did not stick to the pork -- much like in this video. So be careful with the marinade being too thick.
This recipe is excellent!! I made this for my family on Christmas Eve and it was a huge hit. Thanks for the super clear instructions and amazon links so I could see what the ingredients looked like closer up and found them in my local asian market. Thanks!!!! Will be getting the cookbook!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you're excited about the cookbook-I hope you enjoy it! 😊 I'm sure your pork dish will turn out amazing. If you haven't already, could you take a few minutes to leave a review after you've had a chance to try the recipes? It really helps and means the world to me. Happy cooking and happy holidays! 🎄✨
I’m just a fan that has followed you and participated by making many of your dishes. It is so great to see how you have grown your channel and business over time. I am very happy for you.
Thank you so much for the support. It truly means a lot to hear that you’ve been cooking my dishes and watching everything grow over time. Your encouragement keeps me inspired to keep going. Wishing you many more delicious cooking adventures ahead! 😊🍜💛
Thank you so much for ordering my cookbook and for being such a loyal supporter over the years! It means the world to know you love the recipes so much that you could eat them every day. I hope the cookbook brings you even more joy and delicious meals. Let me know when it arrives - I’d love to hear what you think! 🍜❤️
I have been following you for a while now, and you are the main expert on Asian cuisine on RUclips for me. I have impressed many of my Asian friends with your recipes, so glad you have a new book out! I just placed my order, can’t wait to receive it! 🍜 ♥️ 📕
Thank you so much for your amazing support! I'm thrilled to hear that you've been impressing your friends with the recipes-what a compliment! 😊 I'm so happy you ordered the book, and I can't wait for you to dive into it. Has it arrived yet? I'd love to hear what you think once you try some of the dishes! If you purchased it on Amazon, I'd truly appreciate it if you could leave an honest review. Reviews help so much in spreading the word and supporting the book’s success. Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with delicious cooking! 🍜📖♥️
@ Hi! Still not arrived, maybe because I’m based in Europe? I ordered through your link not on Amazon. Looking forward to receive it 📦 Of course I will be glad to leave a review.
Thank you so much for your support and patience. All Europe orders are pre-orders, and unfortunately, it likely won’t ship before Christmas. I’m doing my best to get it to you as soon as possible and sincerely apologize for the delay. Your understanding means a lot, and I’m so grateful that you’re willing to leave a review when it arrives! Wishing you a joyful holiday season. Warm regards, Mandy Fu
I’ve followed you here for some time and never had a bad recipe (always very good - many amazing) so obviously I purchased the book. Thank you for the hard work!
So many years of interpretation from written word. So far, no authentic nor desirable results! After seeing your video, I finally see how it is done. It even has the red yeast. So excellent! I cannot wait to receive your book, sometime next week. I ordered a copy for my mother as well. Here's to all the excellent feasting and celebration I will enjoy with friends and family, and the myriad delights my family will enjoy weekly if not daily. Many blessings, Mandy Fu; I cannot wait to see how you prosper, knowing that Chinese Cuisine is forever. Speaking of this, gotta order the fermented tofu and the yeast, next...
Hopefully this book comes to the UK. Love all your videos and recipes. Well explained with the best advice on ingredients. Thank you for all your hard work and quality videos 👌
We do ship to UK. You can purchase it on my website - curatedkitchenware.com/products/souped-up-recipes-168-better-than-takeout-chinese-recipes However, we are short in inventory in UK so it will take a long time to deliver.
I will definitely try this recipe. I grew up in Tijuana, Mexico eating some of the best Cantonese food with the large Chinese community that exists in that area close to the border with California. The "carnitas rojas de puerco" or char siu pork was among my favorite dishes and it brings back the best childhood memories!
I just made this tonight and it tastes exactly the same as when I ate them growing up. It unlocked so many memories I'm here texting my mom and sister, sending them pictures of the final product. Thank you for this recipe, I feel so proud to have made this and taste the amazingness I had not had in a very long time!
You would've been proud of me tonight! I actually made my own recipe using so much I have learned from you and actually a few other people on RUclips. I made tofu with stirfry veggies and a curried pumpkin (butternut squash from my compost bin) and lentils. Served with rice and a peach chutney I made back in August 😘😋 I really thank you the most for demystifying Chinese cuisine thanks to your detailed instructions Thanks a million!
Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing! 😍 You should be so proud of yourself for creating such a unique and delicious meal-it sounds like a beautiful blend of flavors and creativity! I’m especially impressed by the curried pumpkin and peach chutney combo; that sounds incredible. 🌟 Thank you for your kind words-it means the world to know that my videos have helped you explore and enjoy Chinese cuisine. Keep up the fantastic cooking, and feel free to share more of your creations! 😊🍜✨
ordered the new book and am going to make that recipe for char siu with the Amazon-linked items that I don't have especially the red yeast powder which I had to find outside of the linked ones from Amazon but is still possible. Thank you for teaching me how to make interesting dinners at home.
Dear Mandy, with your kindness and friendliness you always make even the most complicated recipes simple! Book ordered, I hope to be able to use it for my Christmas menu. I love this recipe, it reminds me of my walks in Kowloon. For the next char siu I will use your recipe, thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy to hear that my recipes have made cooking easier and more enjoyable for you. I hope the book arrives in time for your Christmas menu, and that it brings even more delicious meals to your table. I love that my char siu recipe reminds you of Kowloon-that's such a special connection. Best of luck with your next char siu, I’m sure it will turn out amazing! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season filled with great food and memories! 🎄🎉
This is phenomenal timing. I just bought 4 pork roasts and think that this would be fantastic to do with one of them! (or maybe 2, we will have to see). Thank you also for the links, since I've always hesitated to buy fermented bean curd just because I didn't know which one was the correct one to buy! And congratulations on the cookbook! I will have to buy a copy when I have money again (probably after the holidays, though it makes me very sad to have to wait!)
Thanks Mandy for a newer Char Siu Recipe, although your original one was already perfect for me. Cookbook Congrats! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your Family. 💜
Thank you so much for your excitement and support! Have you received the cookbook yet? If so, I'd love to hear what you think about it! If you ordered through Amazon, would you mind leaving a product review? Your feedback helps others discover the book too. Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with delicious cooking! ️
LOVE char siu!!!! I like to make a batch & freeze it for quick additions to ramen/soups or lunches over rice!!!! ❤❤❤ how thick & sticky your sauce came out!!!! Even though it makes it harder to coat. It looked beautiful!!! & the snacking on it when it’s done…. That’s quality control… you have to make sure it came out good right??😊
I made this so I could use it in your Singapore Noodle recipe. It was excellent! Thank you! If you have the time for a marinade, this is a really simple recipe. Worth every minute. 💜🙏🏽

I am so happy for you Mindy! I found your channel during the Pandemic called Covid 19. I have been watching your channel ever since. Keep up the great work, and I will buy your book as soon as I can afford to!💕💕👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support! I'm so glad to have been a part of your cooking journey, especially during such challenging times. It means a lot to me that you’ve been following my channel for so long! When you're ready to get the book, I hope it brings you even more joy and inspiration in the kitchen. Wishing you all the best, and I hope the holidays bring you peace and happiness.
i just made char siu for thanksgiving [minus the red food dye most recipes online suggest] mostly so i could make fried rice today, if i'm being honest. and it's crazy this video just popped into my feed today lol.
Hi Mandy!!! I ordered my Cookbook. Cant wait until it gets here!!!... Your recipe for today looks mighty delicious to me. I will be trying this for sure. Great Video!!!...🦋
Barry Manilow's 1st hit song...he didn't write it though. It was released in England in '71 and called Brandy, it's written by Scott English and Richard Kerr.
🍖🔥 This Char Siu recipe is absolutely the best-sticky, flavorful, and perfectly caramelized! 😍👏 A must-try for anyone who loves authentic Chinese barbeque pork. Thank you for sharing this delicious masterpiece! 😋✨❤
Hi Mandy, As a Graphic Designer congratulations on your new book. When you are showing your book and flipping the pages, the pages is shown upside down. It is the little things that people catch what wrong with which gives a negative impression. When I setting up a photo shoot it has to be perfect. Hope this will help you for next time. Really enjoy your vlog. Having managing my parents restaurant when I was a young man I find your recipes so close to restaurants cooking. Really appreciate for sharing. Thank You 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations on your cookbook. For those in U.K. looking for the Chinese rose wine it’s called Miu Kwei Liew ( various spellings) from memory the one I am thinking of comes in a white bottle. My late father made the amazing pork he learned from a top hotel in HK that he taught his staff back in the 60s. Love the snacking 😉
I love it when you say "Hi everyone" - it‘s the best. ::)
it's so annoying, especially the trailing one 😂
I'll admit, it scares me every time. But then I get to laugh at myself
Hi everyonnnnnnnnnnnne
Anytime I have a bad day, and I see one of her videos, the "Hi Everyone" makes my day better, her personality is very uplifting.
That ‘Everyone’ reverberated like crazy
I just received my copy of the book. It is a truly beautiful item, in both content and production quality. The inclusion of the QR codes to link to the original videos for each recipe is a stroke of genius.
Can’t wait to get mine ❣️

I made this today; it's the first time I got my char siu sweet enough. I'll be using this recipe every time.
Congratulations on your cookbook release. Amazing to see how far you've come from your first video ever.

I love the tip about reducing the marinade, I haven’t previously done this 😊

Just finishing my first attempt at Char Siu... Thank you very much or 谢谢
Hopefully this book comes to the UK. Love all your videos and recipes. Well explained with the best advice on ingredients. Thank you for all your hard work and quality videos 👌
There is international shipping on the website ❤
We do ship to UK. You can purchase it on my website - curatedkitchenware.com/products/souped-up-recipes-168-better-than-takeout-chinese-recipes

This is such a great instruction to this wonderful gift from China. Thank you.
Purchased :) This Chef makes things like My Chinese used to make. ❤
Thank you Mandy. This looks amazing.
Lady Mandy well done on the release of your book. Be blessed
Hi Mandy, I just ordered your beautiful book. Congratulations for beautiful outcome of this cookbook and you’re so fabulous and what you do best.
I will definitely try this recipe. I grew up in Tijuana, Mexico eating some of the best Cantonese food with the large Chinese community that exists in that area close to the border with California. The "carnitas rojas de puerco" or char siu pork was among my favorite dishes and it brings back the best childhood memories!
I just made this tonight and it tastes exactly the same as when I ate them growing up. It unlocked so many memories I'm here texting my mom and sister, sending them pictures of the final product. Thank you for this recipe, I feel so proud to have made this and taste the amazingness I had not had in a very long time!
Just ordered the book, look forward to it as we've cooked many of your recipes and they've been fantastic - Congratulations!
You would've been proud of me tonight! I actually made my own recipe using so much I have learned from you and actually a few other people on RUclips. I made tofu with stirfry veggies and a curried pumpkin (butternut squash from my compost bin) and lentils. Served with rice and a peach chutney I made back in August 😘😋 I really thank you the most for demystifying Chinese cuisine thanks to your detailed instructions Thanks a million!
Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing! 😍 You should be so proud of yourself for creating such a unique and delicious meal-it sounds like a beautiful blend of flavors and creativity! I’m especially impressed by the curried pumpkin and peach chutney combo; that sounds incredible. 🌟
Thank you for your kind words-it means the world to know that my videos have helped you explore and enjoy Chinese cuisine. Keep up the fantastic cooking, and feel free to share more of your creations! 😊🍜✨

Pretty darned clever comment.
I remember that tune!
Barry Manilow's 1st hit song...he didn't write it though. It was released in England in '71 and called Brandy, it's written by Scott English and Richard Kerr.
🍖🔥 This Char Siu recipe is absolutely the best-sticky, flavorful, and perfectly caramelized! 😍👏 A must-try for anyone who loves authentic Chinese barbeque pork. Thank you for sharing this delicious masterpiece! 😋✨❤
Hi Mandy,
As a Graphic Designer congratulations on your new book. When you are showing your book and flipping the pages, the pages is shown upside down. It is the little things that people catch what wrong with which gives a negative impression. When I setting up a photo shoot it has to be perfect. Hope this will help you for next time.
Really enjoy your vlog. Having managing my parents restaurant when I was a young man I find your recipes so close to restaurants cooking. Really appreciate for sharing. Thank You 🙏🙏🙏
Happy you made a cookbook! I just ordered a copy 🙂🙂
Many thanks, learned a lot from you, can’t wait to try this 👍
Your food always looks amazing. Your videos are good too
Congratulations on your cookbook.
For those in U.K. looking for the Chinese rose wine it’s called Miu Kwei Liew ( various spellings) from memory the one I am thinking of comes in a white bottle. My late father made the amazing pork he learned from a top hotel in HK that he taught his staff back in the 60s.
Love the snacking 😉
Congrarulations!!!!❤
Look forward to using it !
Perfection!
I love a bit of fatty meat & crackling roast pork!
