    One of the great teachers of Chinese cookery in the UK. I have fond memories of eating in your Imperial City (Royal Exchange) restaurant in London in the early 2010's Ken. Great to see you on CZcams! Do please make videos on your red-cooked pork belly (which was a star in Imperial City), and paper-wrapped prawn dim sum. EDIT: Please also name the brands of your cleaver & its sharpner.

    Ordered some of that black bean garlic sauce and woweee! That is some good stuff! Don’t need much of it. I also never knew to add my sauce to the veggies at the end. I’ve been cooking most of my sauces away by adding at the beginning. You are a great teacher sir!

  • @peterdoe2617
    @peterdoe2617 Před měsícem +1

    A little story and a question. Story goes like this: a chef once told me that, when he was still in training to become a chef, his boss always some onions, frying in the kitchen. So the aroma would spread out into the restaurant: "It'll make the people more hungry!"
    (Btw: that is the reason, you'll find a bakery at the entrance of many supermarkets (at least here in Germany): the smell of fresh bread will make people more hungry.)
    Now comes my question to the master: I've recognized that sometimes, when onions are stir fried (without the steaming, showed here) and only roughly chopped, the edges where of a brownish colour that wasn't the result of burning them. I experimented. And now I'm marinating my cut onions in light soy sauce. It also takes away a bit of the harsh taste of fresh onions and comes out the way I saw it. Does anyone else use this technique, too?

    • @KenHomWoks
      @KenHomWoks  Před 24 dny +1

      I think that each chef or cook improves it in their own way which is why cooking is so personal. Whatever works and why not? Thank you very much & keep your wok hot!

    I shall be making this dish tonight and add it to my recipe collection. I have the same cleaver the Mr. Hom is using which I recently bought and has his name on it, a very good cleaver and so easy to use and I particularly like the handle, my other Chinese cleaver is an all metal one but I find this one much better to hold. It is also important to keep the cutting edge nice and sharp.
