    As someone that's done sound engineering, his team puts ALOT of work into making sure you hear the knife cutting, and the oil sizzling. That stuff isn't actually easy, and you can't just pick it up with a room boom mic. Who ever is doing the sound work on these videos are geniuses that have designed what sounds are going to grab your attention and imagination without pulling attention away from Adam. These videos are amazing, and I love to watch them over and over.

      I agree Mathonwy, not sure what TD is prattling about; seems a made up name (or some wrestler?). Audio is one of the first indicators of great video quality. I presume Adam learned a thing or two about how to do it (or who to hire to do it for you) when he was winning those cooking shows

    To happily repeat what has been said in the past, your team's videos are beautiful, relevant, educational, and promote an ease of cooking delicious food at home. *Amazing*

    Cooked it recently with minor alterations and the result was amazing.
    Normally I wouldn't order sweet and sour in a restaurant but this tastes awesome.
    But I recommend not to cook more than you can eat at once so that you have some for the next day, because a day later the rest gets soggy. Freshly cooked is mandatory

      If you have trouble sleeping, I also recommend art tutorials for pure relaxation. Bob Ross, Wow Art, Gilly Kube, makoccino
      , Pouring Your Heart Out, and Amanda's Designs are my favorite CZcams art channels for insomnia nights. 👍

      ASMR videos are the very best for insomnia. Watching delicious food videos when you can't cook is a mysterious form of self torture

    Mr Liaw, I made this last night! It had a lovely tangy flavour without the icky sticky glaze you normally get at a Chinese takeaway.
    Lots of flavour, and using pork belly almost gave it a “pop” in every bite! Thank you 🙏

    I love the explanations you give for the different steps. I didn't know about the burners before and now it makes sense why my stir fries never cook quite the same as what i see online. Your videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you.

    • @MaZEEZaM
      @MaZEEZaM Před 4 lety +1

      Yes, I would like to incorporate one of these burners into the kitchen I am planning, they are far from cheap though so I hope they last as I am going to go with the dual fuel Gas volcano burner and the induction hob.

    Mentally scarred from sweet and sour pork and the batter. Not really, was just a kid when Chinese Restaurants hit Australia but in adult life this will be something I’ll cook at home ... what a blessing that the flavours were introduced to Australia that way so it’s not unfamiliar territory to enjoy a home cooked meal now 👍🙏👍

    Thank you Adam for sharing one of my all time favorite chinese recipes!!!
    I loved especially all the tips about the wok.
    Kudos on how to cut the pinneaple, I hail from Costa Rica, the worlds top fresh pinneaple exporter and your tips were absolutely on point.
    Except we rarely eat the core (or "heart" as we call it) because it may be leave an unpleasant feeling on the tongue.
    I might add, please chose organic if possible. Otherwise, cut A LOT of the skin (because there is where the pesticides are sprayed).
    Please keep the good work! I love your channel!

    Dear sweet loveable Adam, I've been watching you on tv since I was a young teen and recently rediscovered you and my love of asian cooking. Your recipes are so simple and so delicious! you're so calming and wonderful to watch!!
    All the recipes I have tried so far have come out absolutely perfectly! I rarely have to alter them. I find I'm always changing the amounts in other peoples recipes but your ratios are just perfect. My Tonkatsu was so bloody good!! and a few days ago I made the Manchurian Chicken and OH MY GOODNESS! it was perfect and sooo good the next day. I'm really looking forward to doing the okonomiyaki! Oh and the chicken and cashews! I cant find it any place around where I live that makes it, so, I made yours and as expected it was outstanding! looking forward to new recipes!

    In my area, this dish unfortunately consists of that same dry over-fried pork with thick batter you mentioned, served in a neon red-orange syrup. I do a lot of wok cooking at home, but never thought to try sweet and sour pork again. Also, can't say enough about the calm and practical technique of your videos. Thank you!
