- Chef Mok Kit Keung works some magic in his kitchen at Shang Palace at the Kowloon Shangri-La hotel in Hong Kong. I had a chance to go into the kitchen and meet the chef after a truly epic dinner. Check my other videos to see the interview.

For the folks who saying ’ clean wok‘, I want to explain that. There’s so many ways to avoid sticking, he’s doing one of those. In Chinese restaurants cooking, that’s how we do before start cooking. Because we use the iron wok which is the non-coating wok, we have to make the wok become a ‘coating wok’, so oil is the coating. The method is high heat , put oil in, the process is deep fried the dust and some shit sticks on the wok, then put water in, water will go underneath the oil and the dust shit, then the wok has nothing to stick. But it has to go with couple times, just in case. It’s hard to explain in English, but hope you understand.
I understand and thanks for your comment. The other factor is that I asked him to do something so I could film him, so some of the action he is doing for the camera.
we know season the wok or it'll rust. and we know order of ingredients can keep it from completely burning and sticking to it as well. adds to flavour.
Besides all the great foods being cooked at such a fast pace, this is one of the cleanest and most efficient commercial kitchens I have seen on youtube.
Thank you very much for watching the video, I'll tell the chef your compliment.
@@FreddySherman props to you, hard to find creators that still manage to find the time to reply to comments 7 years after it's initial upload.
@@wilsonchen5241 Thanks, fortunately, CZcams alerts me of new comments and I try to respond to every one of them!
Yeah these guys love what they do. They clean as they go. If they make a stain, they don't leave it for later. They clean it then. Makes the end of the night cleaning much easier and quicker. Also maintains the quality of your equipment by not letting anything stay for long periods of time.
I have worked in over 6 different commercial kitchens and you are definitely right. The first 5 kitchens I worked in were filthy. I wouldn't want to tell people I worked in those places. Now the latest place I am working at is just as spotless as this kitchen. We are under staffed and yet the kitchen is always spot less. When you have a great executive chef and a team of employees who love their job along with having a respect for their employer, the ones who pay their bills, this is the outcome. A kitchen everyone would be proud to say the work in.
@@imranak12 I frequent a restaurant in my neighborhood and got to know the owner and later the chef and staff. I found out that the owner had a special crew that comes in at midnight and clean everything in the restaurant from midnight to 8AM. The restaurant is spotless as a result of another group of people whose responsibility is to ensure the cleanliness of the restaurant. Most restaurants have their kitchen staff do all the cleaning, imagine working all day and having to clean the kitchen before going home, you might not do a great job at times, and if this happens all the time you will have a buildup of grease that becomes almost impossible to remove. A clean kitchen or a restroom gives you an insight into how the business operates. If they cut corners on hygiene they will most likely cut corners on the food.
The sous-chef helps with the mise en place and the head chef does the cooking, very clean, and efficient system. The executive chef controls the intense flame with his knee while cooking to create a dish that preserves the freshness of the ingredients. It is difficult to create the same dish at home, the commercial kitchen is ideal for this type of cooking, that is why we go to places like the Shang Palace to enjoy the culinary experience. An amazing display of skill and artistry, thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. You are correct, but keep in mind he is doing a bit of extra busy work as I asked him to do some motions for the camera.
This is high level cooking. The seasoning steps allow the fried rice to have absolutely no oil. He literally brushed off any remaining droplets of oil from the wok right before putting the rice in.
@@deanklisz2198 so if you put Himalayan salt then you can call it high cook?
@@deanklisz2198 lol everything is chemical. also asian always known to have strong flavor even without scofield score we already have masala. also msg isn't harmful to us. herbs spices you said? the western country literally invade asia for those so I never imagine asian restaurant lacking any of those :D. you can suck those himalayan salt myth.
I've been a chef for around 10 years and the one thing I've never gotten to do is work a wok station. Looks like so much fun
Do you mainly work in a certain type of restaurant?
The prepper is very important to that wok master
@@fixedit8689 Yes. Sadly, this chef passed away a few weeks ago. A lot of people are missing him. RIP.
@@FreddySherman can i ask why he's passed away?
@@cheftam-f1w it was very sad. I don't know why he passed away. It was a medical situation and he was very young with children and a family
My highest respect to the chiefs for their dedication and passions on their profession.
I agree, it's a unique job that allows you to express your own creativity in something people can then enjoy.
Exactamente amiguito....
@@MrJoen0527 Claro!
The prep cooks are the real heroes here
Well this is the executive chef, but I get your point and agree with you.

Can I ask something guys.what kind of liquor or oil is used to have fire in pan?
@@markangelocortez4632 is Chuck Norris water
They used to tell me in school never to let the faucet run and to conserve water whenever I can. Then there's these guys.
I've gotten a lot of comments about that, the water and the gas being on all the time. I guess it's just part of running a restaurant kitchen and things move fast so you want everything running to save time. The cost is just part of doing business.

that hotel and they're sheif is still of there?
Thank you very much for watching the video!! The restaurant, Shang Palace is there and open at the Kowloon Shangri-La. It maintains its Michelin Star. Sadly, Chef Mok passed away in 2019, he was a very young man and a great chef.
Thanks again for watching the video and please subscribe to my channel!
they need to make sure the wok is very clean, that why he wash it so many times. In a big international hotel they have all sorts of guest like vegetarians, gluten free, people with allergies, people who don't eat beef or pork.
Thanks for watching. All that is true, but he was really just doing it for the camera. I asked him to make some motions at the stove so I could film him.
1:11 love this momment
Why that moment?
Great video, Fred! Really shows how a master of the wok can churn out a tasty meal in under a minute. It is known as "the breath of the wok", and you can't do that at home.
It surprises me how many views this video has! I am actually headed back to Hong Kong, staying at the Kowloon Shangri-La again next week, so I will make more videos with Chef Mok.
The breath of the wok can be done at home. Or what do you mean precisely?
Expert-level that wok is an extension of his hand
I agree! This chef moved to Singapore and is now the executive chef at the Shangri-La Singapore. And today, he was awarded a Michelin star!!

It looks so good there
It is, you should go eat there sometime! It's the restaurant inside the Kowloon Shangri-La hotel in HK.

For people who don't know about using a wok, just cook in your non stick pan or keep changing a new pan every time and chuck the dirty one to the steward.
I'm a chef for 16 years and doing both Cantonese and Western. The cooking methods and culture is very different and only true professionals understand what are they doing during every steps. I can explain in details about every moves he made and why.
larrylcm explain
explain
when cook the food non stop, sometime u got some sauce sticking in the wok and it burn
it hard to get it off with bamboo and u shoud not use some kind of metal thing to scratch it out |
that why u have to clean that way
and if dont clean the wok propely u will get some black dot sprinkle all over your food
sorry my english suck
I agree with this!

When they lift the wok, you can hear the demon screaming..

It's Shang Palace at the Kowloon Shangri-La hotel. Thanks for watching.
He spent more time to clean a spotless wok than cooking. Amazing!
He was just doing something with it so I could film him. I asked him to just do something with it for a few minutes.
Add some water, drain water
Add some oil, drain oil

Thanks for watching the video and please subscribe, I hope to return to Hong Kong later this year.
My company used to put us up at the Shangri-La and sometimes the Mira. I love Kowloon. Street food was good too.

This clean wokk proses..dam
He was just doing it for the camera, I asked him to do something so I could film him at work. Thanks for watching.
Ok - the wok is clean - after 6 washes - get on with it !!!
He is making the wok nonstick Dumbo
mei yuk It had already been seasoned, which is done by placing a new wok over heat until the inside and outside both completely change colour, then washing it etc. A wok is not made nonstick by washing it 6 times. Google wok seasoning and you might learn something except calling people names. Your name suits you.
+bronzerat012 perhaps mei yuk wasn't too elaborate on "making the wok non stick". Yes, what you said is correct, but that's just seasoning it. Everyday before you use it, you would have to "re-season" the wok by doing what Chef Mok did.
1) First wash was a normal wash.
2) 2nd time when oil was put in, poured out, followed by water was the 2nd wash, and it could end here.
3) 3rd time... perhaps he felt that the wok was not well re-seasoned, and so the third time.
Perhaps for home use, a wok need not be seasoned everyday, but for a restaurant, the number of dishes cooked in a night could be more than what is cooked in a month at home.
Cheers!
+bronzerat012 I agree with Joel Ong. He's doing properly wok seasoning for a restaurant cooking
Gonzalo Marambio Araya So do I - that's why I +1 his comment. Also unlike mei yuk, he was polite.
Wow so busy restaurant
It's very busy and very popular. Thank you very much for watching.
@@FreddySherman thank you.,don't forget to visit my simple Channel...I am just a learner
@@PhotoStoryChannel Thank you, I will check it out right now.
Please can you tell me the oil that's predominantly used to give that authentic Chinese taste, many thanks in advance 🙏.
I am not a chef but I think it is sesame oil. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can answer your question.
Thanks, I was thinking the same or maybe peanut oil ?.
@@truthsearcher596 Yes I think you're right. I found this online "Chinese cooks normally use soybean oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil, all of which have a high smoke point. Peanut oil usually has a pleasant nutty flavor and is suitable not only for stir-frying but also for deep-frying"

He was not cooking he just washing his wok.

He want make big fire by hot woke maybe need try again and again,, but if i say,, he just let it the woke very hot and give a liitle of oil and boommmm,,
My gues is that cooks on other side of the bench recieve ticket calls and preparing ingredients for wok station? And then you got 2 cooks ocupied on one dish? Sounds expencive.
It is expensive!
@@FreddySherman Worth the money.
Superb food.

I agree, too much time cleaning the MSG out of the wok.
Now that's funny. But I am super sensitive to MSG and have never had a problem at Shang Palace.
Mitch Corora There is nothing wrong with msg
Limited quantity of MSG doesn't affect health
MSG was made famous by Japanese, and is still by far the most use ingredient in their cuisine.
I need a torch like that to heat up my rig
That torch is essence of Chinese cooking, it's the flavour of the wok. No joke.
Delicious food

Best video thanks
Thanks for watching it! Chef Mok is very popular on CZcams!
1.40 min to clean the wok, and took only 29sec to re heat the rice. lol

Being a chef for over 30 years really hate my job in the summer it’s 40° in the kitchen sweating for eight hours straight with the deafening of the fan And really smelly when you get home one of the most stressful jobs in the world

So, why does the chef put water in, pour it out, then add oil and then water? Is it to season the wok or something?

Great video ! But I see a lot of water runoff the taps. Wish they could be more responsible with the environment.
It seems they just run them during the shift, just like the gas burners. I think it's just how a busy kitchen needs to operate. I see it as more as the cost of doing business. They pay for that water and gas and have to use it to do business.

What a joke. No wonder the menu prices are in the stratosphere. He spent $15 in utility bills before any food was cooked. Only to heat up some rice? If I was GM I'd fire him and the idiot Director of PR who approved this waste of precious resources.
That's why you don't run a hotel. A few minutes of gas, and the video has been seen by 140,000 people, including you. The restaurant was also featured in my article in Business Traveler magazine, again seen by thousands of people. Seems like a good ROI to me. Maybe someday you'll have the opportunity to dine at Shang Palace for yourself.
This is the method of seasoning the wok and also to make sure turn the wok into none stick wok. This process repeat more than 5 times.
