    Chef Mandy is no joke. She's real and honest. She's showing you a lot of inside information and sharing the beautiful world of Chinese meals and knowledge.

    I lived in San Francisco for 5 years. I had several employees who were either Chinese or Filipino who often took me into Chinatown for lunch making sure I tested a variety of dishes. I miss those days and thought my days of trying new Chinese dishes was over. Stumbling on to your CZcams channel has inspired me to try Chinese cooking and so far I have been mostly successful because of your very well presented videos. Just wanted to say thank you.

    I’m Chinese American and I always thought Chinese cuisine is very difficult to master. I watched my mom and grandma cook a lot, but got overwhelmed trying to keep track of what they used. Thanks for this video! Incredibly helpful

    I was going to skip this but then the first 2 tips about eggplant and Bok choy at 1:40 got me hooked to the end. Also, if you have the time and patience, don't be intimidated by the Chinese characters on packages. I use Google translate on camera. Now that she has told us what to look for, it was easy to narrow down the grocery list for brands that are ideal and available in the store for future visits.

    I go to an Asian market about once a month and love the produce section best. Besides the Chinese eggplant and baby bok choy (my favorite), the fresh mushrooms are outstanding. Less expensive than chain markets and more variety. Also the zucchini, melons, and kiwis are always fresh. I learned a lot from your video. Thank you.

    Hello Mandy,
    Thank you for this informative video, which will be very helpful for many "newcomers" to Chinese cuisine. As a German myself, I was part of a Chinese family that ran a restaurant in Germany for several years. In the kitchen of the restaurant, I learnt how to cook original Chinese dishes for the family and special guests/occasions (although most of the dishes on the menu were adapted to European tastes).
    I don't know if you mentioned it in one of your cooking videos, but there are also big differences in sesame oil. Many, if not most, sesame oils in Asian supermarkets are mixed with sunflower oil or similar.
    A reference to this would also have been very informative. Really good Chinese sesame oil is 100% pure. Although it is a little more expensive, the more intense flavour means that you generally need less of it, which more than makes up for the price difference and increases the enjoyment considerably.
    P.S. I love your videos.
    Best regards from Berlin Serge

    • @Sergedanilow
      @Sergedanilow Před 5 měsíci +3

      @@doodahgurlie As long as sesame oil (made from roasted sesame seeds) is 100% pure, it doesn't really matter whether it comes from China, Japan, Korea or anywhere else.
      However, this cannot be applied 1:1 to (naturally brewed) soy sauce, as Japanese soy sauce is generally saltier than Chinese soy sauce.

  • @diktatoralexander88
    @diktatoralexander88 Před 5 měsíci +2

    This video is overwhelming, really diving deep into the realm of chinese cooking it makes you realize that it's a completely different culinary background altogether. Makes you feel like in order to keep a clean (not cluttered) kitchen you'd have to redo your entire pantry, and stock only this type of item, and relearn how to cook.
    I really appreciate we have this channel to study chinese cooking and to be able to learn the different recipes and techniques that are used there, hosted by someone with that background. It's overwhelming but I hope to learn things from it.
