- Delicious AND fragrant! Mandarin peels are often used in Chinese cooking and medicine for their health benefits and added flavor 🍊 They can even get rid of fishy tastes too!
Do you use mandarin peels in your cooking?
You think your dad can show us how he dries his mandarin peels ? Curious if its different from the other ways I have seen.
Cantonese person teaching mandarin peels ? His dad worked at a Chinese takeaway but he makes him sound like he’s worked as a famous chef
@@kalnitez being famous has nothing to do with being a good cook.You obviously must eat nothing but McDonald’s and watch CZcams cooking🤡
@@ogdaba1992 eat more dog plz ,
@@ogdaba1992 exactly. Takeways can be AMAZING and nutritious, it all depends on the restaurant.
there really aren't that many ways to dry mandarin peels.
Most Chinese grannies just do it under the sun for a month. But personally i use a dehydrator because long exposure to sunlight has a habit of destroying some of the fragrant volatile chemicals i want from peels. I make orange liqueur from both fresh and dry peels so i know.
Xinhui, Guangdong, China people been planting and trading this thing for hundreds of years 🥰
ever since I saw in a previous video you drying and saving them, I've done the same. The smell when I open the container is wonderful.

Can you post a video how Daddy Lau dries the peels? Mine tends to just turn ugly brown and smells bad.
I love your dad's peelie bag
Does it have to be mandarin peels or any orange peels in general?
That’s what I wanna know
But If theyre Not grown organic, isnt it kind of unhealthy with the pesticides in and on it?
wow , now thats some secret we dont know about
still could use some more info on how and when to use them
I've tried dried mandarin peel in Pu-erh tea actually (the black tea was stored in a whole dried peel that had a lid) and it smelled amazing! I'm pretty sure you can use it anywhere where you would normally use citrus zest or citrus peel.
@@bleepbloop8081 thanks, but that's the thing, I hardly ever use citrus zest or citrus peel
@@coolenaam I've seen people use citrus peel to add fragrance to chicken/ turkey brine. You can also add citrus peel on cocktails, grind up the peel and mix it with sugar or salt (think of it like lemon pepper seasoning), or add it to sauces (like orange chicken), you can even try adding it to cooking fruit preserves/ jams. I like to use citrus zest/peel when I want to balance foods with lots of fat or sugar so it doesn't taste overly rich. It doesn't even have to be dried mandarin peel! You can start with just using a zester or peeler on any citrus you have on hand.
@@bleepbloop8081 thanks for your detailed answer, I'll try using them more in dishes and things. Appreciate it!
My uncle still has peels his mother dried when he was young and it’s over 50 years old!
I save mine for mung bean soup.
and more info on how to dry them :)
You can buy it online
@@sietjienhai1749 thats not what he asked for
Peel your mandarin spread the peeled on a large tray, and let the sun do the work. Turn the peel over once a day for 5 days until it is dry.
@@andromedamessier3176 thank you
I don’t have duct heating. Can I dry these in the dehydrator?
Good to know...Heat in oven or air dry? Thanks
you just let the sun do the work

exactlyyyyy! and, and what!
I wanna know more!
Do you need a fancy hydrator or that only reduce the prep time?
Well you just let the sun do the work. Spread the fresh peel on the tray, and let it bash under the sun. Turn it over once a day for 5 days until it is dry.
@@andromedamessier3176 You don't wanna protect all the aromatic compounds against the suns UV light and oxidation? Unless that changes the compounds in a favorable way?
