You partially freeze the meat when you normally grind it anyway
Your dad is a freaking knife master I can't believe how thin those cuts are
Agreed almost better than my knife skillsđ€
Years of practice at the works.
Just an idea. Use a round cutting board, and rotate the board 90° after cutting into thin strips.

If that's me, my first cut will be big one then I'd slice the others without hitting anything or half slice it lmao and ofc still uneven
Suggestion : Make a video about ALL the various Chinese jarred sauces. We see a lot of MYSTERY Chinese jarred sauces and have no idea what they are for. We can't buy them all, just to try them. We need to be educated about them.
That would be great to learn about, there are lots of them made of chilli, beans even of plum or mushrooms!
Oh yesss, i'm chinese but born in vietnam. So technically my family don't even buy those chinese sauce

æ±äŸŻéŹ best for beef stew! Fry with garlic and put everything and beef into a Dutch oven
Idk what to do w/my fish sauce.
Your dad is a treasure. Thank you for sharing him with all of us!
This is invaluable. I am originally from the outskirts of Oaklands Chinatown and I trust older Asian people more than anyone when it comes to food. Now I feel like I have an adopted set of grandparents.
Definitely read this as "The easiest way to mince my hand"
Blender
This could happen đ
I'm talented with knives too, a wonder I never ended up in the ER before.
oh my god this is my entire life. my family doesnât buy ground meat because itâs cheaper to do it yourself. iâm always the yourself though lmao
Partially frozen! Got it
Thanks for the tips
These âsimple techniqueâ videos youâve been making have actually helped elevate my cooking SO MUCH!!! Lau is the man! đ€đŒ
I learned "chitatap" (chopping the meat until fine) from the anime golden kamuy, really helped when we didn't have a food processor
Chitatap!!
THAT knife is hella sharp
I love how he is generous with explanations, and also how he makes cooking possible without a ton of gadgets †I don't have a food processor, so this made my day đ
It tastes better because it's coarser when minced with hand, you can use coarse setting with the grinder as well.
Would also be glad to learn about cooking equipments tips from you!
This is so impressive! Great advice!
Was looking for this and i got it! Got tired of pork etc and the chicken minced meat in supermarkets tastes horrible. Thanks for this amazing tip and i hope it works!
For minced/ground chicken and pork with a food processor, slice up the meat into strips then freeze on a lined baking sheet. Once frozen, run through the food processor in small batches until the desired texture/dice is achieved.
I then portion out the minced/ground meat into bags and freeze for later use.
Really saves the hands.
This is an awesome tip. thank you so much.
Love this channel
cutting frozen meet is so satisfying
Freezing it a bit first is fucking brilliant!
Your dad need a TV series to properly document cooking. I've already learned so much!
đ€© thank you. Had a similar idea. Glad to see it works im going to give it a try now
I also do it like that. Great technique!!
i was pleasantly surprised when i heard cantonese
Add a 1/4 cup of water to the store bought ground round and it becomes finely minced. Itâs great for burritos or chili.
Love this content
heâs so good at it!
Can he do a knife recommendation video? Iâd buy what he advises. Thx!
Wow those cuts were perfect
Dang dude that really does look like a much nicer texture then ground though i like that
thin slices by freezing it owh that brilliant
Your Dad is awesome.
Most people have dull knives but he is correct this is the superior method imo
mincing it yourself also means the meat retains much more of the moisture and flavour
I have a beef heart I bought to make Detroit style Coney sauce and the store couldn't grind it for me. This was just what I THOUGHT I should do..
But having your sweet Dad's backing is the thumbs up I need so I don't waste $8!!!
Just chopped a pound of beef last night lol im glad im not the only one like this.
These videos are amazing. I can't wait to see what you do next
I will definatly use this thank you
Love your parents for this â€
Thanks Dad! For sharing
He made it look easy! I gave in after 2 separate sweaty attempts and bought a cheapoh kichen aid look-alike with mincing attachments đ
It's very easy with a sharp knife. But yourself a knife steel. It will keep your knife sharp
Yo your dad's got a lot of wisdom man keep this up
Your dad has amazing knife skills
Your fam is so cute.đ
Those cuts though!!
U guys are fcking legends
Think pops got a couple of bodies in the Basement Freezer. His cutting game is deadly đ
Have been doing this and or using food processor for a lifetime. My family just don't get it. It's good to know that another does it with style. Thankyou for your video.
i just learned to julienne carrot after learning square cubed cuts and this is crazy never thought of it!.
I do this as well. Simple and easy đ đ .
Oh yessss I also did this to make fish patties
Need to try this :D
dad is a pro
I use a grinder. You can control the level/coarseness of the grind. This allows you to add extra fat. Very helpful when trying to get 80/20 or 70/30 burger mixes
Lol!
The whole point is that he is mincing, NOT grinding the meat! You can't grind meat with a knife. That is what meat grinders are for. Totally different textures when compared. I am sure yours works great for grinding and not mincing ;)
I like this way too
it even just looks extremely more delicious hand minced
Thanks
Been doing this lately too
A mincing knife would be a great gift for your dad if you can find one in your areađ
exactly, Store bought ground meat are convenient but they're so minced that it feels like fish balls instead. my whole family never buys store ground meat it takes a lot of time to mince them but it's hella worth it.
Does he have recommendations for how long to freeze for?
Yup, this is exactly how I do it as well! I half freeze the meat and hand cut or robotcoupe. I donât buy meat pre minced for me, I want to see the whole meat before eating it, see the health and color of it, and know 100% of everything Iâm putting in my body
Frozen part is legit genius
Ground meat in the stores is usually ground-up intestines and lips and other parts of the animal that would otherwise go to waste
When I was little, my duty is to mince meat for mom. Chop2 mince2, use heavy knife and wooden chopping board... Take a long time if wanna get finely minced meat.đ Now can do it fast using blender, by taste is not the same.
The reason why almost all store-bought minced meat has the consistency of paste is because they use a lot of the leftover fat notice on how if you fry any amount of ground beef and strain all the grease out of it you're going to be left with about 1/3 the original volume as well as the fact that it's done by a giant machine that less cuts the meat and more grinds the meat also just don't buy finely ground meat instead by meat that is more coarse for lack of a better word
I've got four teenagers plus the wife and I, so I've just spent over an hour chopping chicken.
My advice to people is to maintain concentration, I used a gnarly santoku and had a sketchy moment lol.
yeeh we do that in my town. there's a dich with like meat sandwiches i think doing it with mensed meat is more delicious too
Quick question by freezing it quick how much time it would need to slice it like that easy?
Cantonese! I like this language a lot for some reason lol
If you find it beautiful, then you find it beautiful! No need to rationalise it. :)
"First we got to cut it in thin slices"
I cant even cut things into thin slices đ
First and foremost, thank to your parents for all the good tips.đđ
I have to agree with your dad.
I always prefer hand chop meat. You can take any part of the chicken and chop it. Most ground chicken at the store is too dry.
couldn't buy minced meat today so i bought normal beef. hope ill be able to do this myself :)
agreed, plus ground meat lost it freshness quickly and tend to be smelly at times.
It looks good. But i think it also depends on where the store-bought minced meat is bought. In the supermarket it is really this finely ground stuff but at my local butcher it is Made differently and the taste is way better.
What technique is He using If it isnt Frozen? I Like fresh ground meat (only pork or Beef) raw on bread with onions and i dont think it would be good to freeze it First.
your father is incredible those cuts are better than most pro chefs
I use my Bamix that chops the meat. I donât buy mince meat because it is crushed which damages the flavour and texture.
if i wanted to make my own ground beef what kind of cut would i get?
Your dad is hardcore man!
What cut was that example piece of chicken? Not a breast, right? Or does it not matter what piece is used for ground chicken
What knife is that?
Ayyyeee Cantonese
It being partially frozen is genius
Most people know this, most of us dont have the knife skills to do it efficiently enough to be worth the time
You also know exactly what cut is in your minced meat. Pre-ground meat may contain organ meat, etc if it's not specified.
Helps to have a good knife, mine suck
How do you get the meat "partially frozen" without freezing it altogether?
Fridge temp meat, put in the freezer for anywhere from 15 min to an hour. I've heard 15-30 but when I tried that it was still too soft. You want it firm enough to be able to press on a bit
Buying ground meat from a butcher would give you ground meat that's not pasty or too finely minced, but this is a great tip! đ
Its better because this minced meat keeps the fiberous texture
If I don't rotate the cutting board, I mess up the turn EVERY time no matter what it is lol
Also store bought mince and ground meat usually are unwashed so you donât know if itâs clean or what
Sometimes thereâs chuffed/fragment of a bones too
So itâs best to do on your own
... who washes meat o.o honestly though I've never heard of that even if one butchers. I've heard of 'trimming' but never washing. One can never clean meat since whatever is in the outside is on the inside. Cooking kills whatever might be harmful which is why chicken and pork must be cooked all the way through because those products raw can kill you and no amount of washing will prevent that.
@@houndgirl7365 not at all darling not at all
Can you do the same with fish ?
NEVER USE A FOOD PROCESSOR.
The meat inside my dumplings were like a cake.
Yummy
I've never seen something cut so thin by hand
They don't really explain why it tastes better its more like a personal preference.
Im actually surprised to see the one of the most normal and everyday thing i do as a technique and some people did not know about it
This is how i cut it for my cat she eats it raw (yes! Safe for cats!) I prefer it slightly frozen too it is easier to cut but guys be careful some parts will be more or less solid and require more or less pressure with knife so watch your fingers
They mince meat way too fine for dumplings in the US. So the struggle of the century is whether you will get a noise complaint mincing meat.
