I don't have a lot of experience cooking. In fact I had never made rice or stir fry on my own before. I just got back from the military and got my first apartment and I finally wanted to cook for my roommate and some of my friends. I followed exactly what you did for the chicken and modified the stir fry. Also made rice using your method. It came out almost perfect. This video was absolutely invaluable to me and my experience as a new cook. It impressed my friends and my roommate and I am so incredibly happy. Thank you for the dedication to cooking and just as important, to your KZread channel. I plan on perfecting this stir fry. I didn't get exactly all the stuff you did for the stir fry but I did yellow bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and broccoli. I added some soy sauce and teriyaki for something a little different. This video was a massive help, keep up the good work man.

@Brayden Kenney How's the stirfry perfecting going? Have you branched out into other dishes? Kudos to you for wanting to learn more about cooking. It can be an absolute joy learning new skills, mastering techniques, and eventually acquiring a "specialty" dish that you're known for - heck, maybe for you it'll be a killer stirfry. I did not learn cooking from my parents, I learned from watching tv (mostly public tv) and reading cookbooks (this was before YT), and I consider myself quite accomplished but there's always more to learn. For me, if there's a backstory or a history to the dish, I love learning about it and sharing with my -victims- guests. In my family, I'm known for my homemade sauerkraut (out of this world amazing!!!), Banana Walnut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and for being a rabid bento enthusiast (which has taught me so much about Japanese foods and culture in ways I never fathomed; the more I learn the more I want to learn). Best wishes to you in your endeavors - may you always stay thirsty for knowledge and hungry in your desire to feed people great food!

Old comment but if you haven't gone there yet, some things for you to look into: Roasting meat. A rosemary garlic pork tenderloin with some root veggies is easy and God tier (if you can eat pork that is). Most roasts are amazing and are pretty easy in that they typically follow the same pattern, just different times and temps for different meats. Biggest bonus is roasts make great leftovers that you can just use as is or throw into like a stew or something. Some basic sauces: -a roux: basic thickener. Throw into the pot drippings from something like a roast and you've got a great, fast sauce. -add milk or cream to a roux and stir well, with some seasonings it's now a bechamel, with just like some black pepper, it's a southern style gravy -add cheese to cream+roux, congrats, you've unlocked the secret to amazing mac and cheese or a great cheese sauce for whatever you want to do (this is similar to a mornay sauce) - basic pan sauce: after you've cooked up your meat with all the juices and such still in the pan, splash in some wine, scrape the brown bits off the pan, throw in whatever seasonings catch your fancy (or not), let it reduce for a bit, and bam you've got something great to pour over your dish or maybe starches. If you don't want to use wine, you can use stock or vinegar. And at some point get the Flavor Bible. It's not a cook book in the way you'd think of one. It just tells you what flavors tend to go well with what other flavors. Super helpful demystifying seasonings.

In Chinese cruisine, we usually add the sesame oil only after the cooking has been done, which heats up the oil just enough for it to start releasing it's aroma. Once it comes in contact with the hot pan, it will start cooking. "Cooked" sesame oil will taste slightly bitter, and the aroma will change. If you HAVE to put it into the pan, I'd suggest turning off the heat, and waiting for the sizzling to stop before adding it in. Toss it and get it out onto a plate quickly.

I usually buy roasted sesame oil from my local asian super market and the oil is much darker brown and also is $5+ for around 12 oz. that bottle he had is much too large and the oil is too light to be compared to the finishing oil from china that i use. Also, during my time i spent in china, they would cooking with a more light sesame oil and finish with a darker one, but i believe both were toasted, just one more that the other

I actually live in China, currently in Suzhou, but have previously lived in Beijing, Jiaxing and Hong Kong, and have travelled all over. To my knowledge people here use peanut oil, corn oil and soybean oil/vegetable oil as cooking oils, I've never seen anyone use any kind of sesame oil as a cooking oil. I also just checked the sesame oil I have in my kitchen, and the colour is maybe a touch darker than what he is using in the video, but not much. If you were to use sesame oil as a cooking oil, then it would have to be untoasted so the flavour wouldn't overwhelm what you are cooking, not the toasted one in the video.

Sesame oil has a low burning point... which means once it reaches a temperature it burns and smokes. There's oils for deep frying, stir frying and more for seasoning.

Are you Malgorzata Burdzy actually comparing raw beef and egg yolks to raw chicken here?!? Some things like chicken MUST be well cooked to be safe to consume! It has nothing to do with stuff being spoiled but rather all about being clueless or ignorant. So wash your hands, knifes, tongs and whatever you use to touch the raw food in question, unless you're going to heat all of it up well to kill any bacteria. If ignoring this, you might at the very least feed yourself with bacteria resistant to antibiotics, which is extremely common in chicken all around the world. These bacteria will not harm you directly, and eventually will you get rid of them automatically, but if you have them in your body when you need antibiotics for some reason, you might be in trouble. If you're unlucky, chances are also quite high that you get struck by campylo or salmonella bacteria which may really make you sick, and again, those can be found also in perfect looking fresh chicken. And mind you; I live in Finland where we have the safest food on the earth (together with Sweden) and use far less antibiotics in the food industry than virtually anywhere else in the world...

Until you get into newer traditions that bring science into things, trust Asian cooking traditions on how to handle spices over Western ones when there's a disagreement between the styles.

I dont think its a "western" way. Then again I was born in mexico so my style of cooking is different. My mother taught me to "infuse" or flavor the oil and let that transfer to the meat or any other addition. It makes sense too, especially with garlic. It tastes gross when its too "fresh" and not left to caramelize. The meat also absorbs more flavor the longer the aromatics have been in there with it.

Chinese guy here: The reason you put the aromatics first is because it flavors the oil (I also wouldn't put the spinach stems in with the aromatics if you put them in first). If you can, cut everything to a uniform thickness as well and a bit smaller. If everything is the same size, they will cook evenly and cook faster. Also, traditional stir fries use very high heat the whole time. The reason why it doesn't burn is because you have to CONTINUOUSLY stir and flip. Try these tips and you'll notice a HUGE difference in flavor.

I remember the Frugal Gourmet saying, years ago, “Hot pan, cold oil, food won’t stick”. It really works.

13:41 - hidden lesson: leave no onion behind.

Good beginner tips overall. However, if you'll humor me, I can improve your #3 tip with some food science. When salting meat, you have 2 choices: 1) Salt _immediately_ before cooking, while the meat is still dry. 2) Salt _at least 40 minutes_ before cooking (give or take a few minutes). You see, salt pulls moisture out of meat. So if you wait 10 minutes and dry the meat again, you're removing precious moisture (and salt) from that already easily dried out chicken breast. If you're in a hurry, wait to season just before it hits the pan, and the searing of the outside will stop that process from happening. However, if you can salt the meat in advance, the juices and dissolved salt will get reabsorbed into the chicken via osmosis. The salt that is now inside the surface of the meat will help *hold in* some of the moisture, resulting in juicier chicken (or other meat). As a bonus, the proteins on the outer layer of the meat will actually change slightly such that the meat browns better. A lot of pros call this a "dry brine", which is a fairly accurate description of what's happening. You can even do this a day or two in advance, which works really well with beef, and is highly recommended for larger items like roasts or whole birds.

Thanks for this beginner's video! I'm 64 yrs young and just starting to enjoy cooking.

I’m so glad you took the time to make this. This is exactly what I needed. None other cookery shows break things down this well. For a beginner, this is exactly what is needed, when you want to do it properly.

Foods to start cooking if you are a beginner:(Beginner level) -Eggs(start by making them scrambled or just put them into the pan and let it cook,them move on to the omelette than start getting creative) you can also boil them, poaching is kinda hard. -Pasta(It is really simple too cook and can almost never go wrong,the first time you cook them split them in half,it will be much easier, than after a while try to get everything into the pot) -Deep fry Chicken( take a nice piece of chicken, breast is mostly recommended, dip it in flour, eggs and then breadcrumbs and pour ALOT of oil in the pan, and let it cook, just don't let it burn, but even if it is slightly burned it will still taste damn good). Simple salads( just pick vegetables that you like, tomatoes,cucumbers,green lettuce and onions are mostly recommended and some olive oil and salt to give it some flavor, you can add vinegar because it makes it really juicy and nice) -Boil potatoes( Wash the potatoes, and then fill a pot with water, just a decent amount and let them boil for around 15-20 minutes,or more if you like them really soft, peel them, add some salt in them some oregano ,olive oil, or you can chop them and make a nice potato salad with onion peppers and tomato) -Sandwich(can never go wrong, put anything you like, and toast it so it tastes better and makes it stay together). After you are better try cooking:(Amateur level) -Rice(brown or white and any type of rice) -Steaks, frying any type of meat. -Stews,soup. learn how to make dough so you can make pizzas, calzones, simple small pies with minced meat and onion, Dumplings. -Tomato, ragu, or bechamel sauces, and any other kind. -Chicken or fish fillets, fry them in sunflower or olive oil. -Start using seafood, extremely tasty and will make you feel like a real chef, fry them in tomato sauce and add it pasta or in anything you like. or just boil or fry them and eat them. Start using the oven and grill if you have one. -Roasted chicken with vegetables -Lasagna(you can make bechamel and the tomato sauce yourself) -Pizza(make the dough yourself, always let the dough rest for two hours or more depending on room temp etc.) Simple desserts like: chocolate chip cookies,Pancakes,donuts(just take some dough, make a hole in the middle and fry and them dip in chocolate and then sugar). Work more on your dish presentation, and them amount of food that you put in your plate if you want to impress other people, Do not overfill plates, work in your cutting skills, just don't go too fast, you will cut the food badly and you might hurt yourself. Make sure you have a cutting board, a pan,a pot, an oven tray etc.

Should specify, Mike here is using KOSHER SALT. You do not want that much salt if you're using regular table salt. Kosher salt is alot flakier and looks larger than the finer table salt, so be wary and adjust. You can screw up a recipe that asks for 1tbsp kosher salt by mistaking it for 1tbsp table salt. Just a caution. Good luck.

so called "kosher salt" can be in any format, doesn't have to be flakes or other big chunks, but it's always without added iodine (which you should normally use in cooking because in most parts of the world you'll need that extra iodine). The reason it's called kosher salt isn't because the salt is kosher for not having added iodine, or some nature of the salt itself, after all, any salt is kosher, but it's really "koshering salt" for making meat kosher by sucking out the meat juices which counts as "blood" in judaism, and eating blood is forbidden in the bible. So it's a salt that makes meat kosher. And it's good for things like pickling and such where you want to use the osmotic effect of salt to it's max, which you might not get from iodized salt. also less iodine might be slightly better for preservatives because it's less chance that mold and other nasty things will grow in it, but really that would be a minimal difference. However if you're just salting your food using salt as a spice to make it saltier for the taste, then in most parts of the world and if seaweed isn't a big part of your diet, you should eat salt fortified with iodine more than the kosher salt, there's a reason that iodine is added to salt.

Thank you. I can finally make my own food and dont have to rely on my parents to make me everything and I really love cooking and baking. Best thing ever.

I'm a beginner, I tried it and it turned out amazing. Really glad i found this channel.

Also, you should consider encouraging reservation of vegetable stock appropriate ends in the freezer. Composting is cool, but saving onion ends, carrot tops, celery bits, mushroom stems etc. allow you to make an amazing BIG batch of vegetable stock at least a couple times a month if you cook regularly, and is basically free stock. I've even roasted directly from the freezer for a more robust stock and it's worked out pretty well. Broth is not cheap in the store, and this lets to add additional vitamins etc. to things like rice, it adds a lot of flavor to rice and bean dishes, and is a must have for vegetable stroganoff.

Victor Kinzer Great idea! I'm going to have to try that.

I've been cooking for over twenty years and I learned a few things from this video. I'd also add an important tip: the thicker and denser the food, the longer it will take to cook through. Hence why a turkey takes half a day to bake while thinly sliced meats cook in only a couple minutes. Turning up the heat to try to cook big foods faster will just give you a cold center and a shell burnt to a crisp.

ya think???? The internet is a very strange place. I love cooking and was looking for vegetarian recipes and there is a war out there; also a lot of young attractive people who think they are the Kardashians (not a fan). Last criticism; when you write for publication, you get an editor. No editing. OK rant over; lots to learn but for me also a thorny wood.

Love how you shared the use of the spinach stems. Great way to use them! Super talk on the seasonings! Great how you said the acidity will make the dish, "Sing to the heavens!" 🌼😊🌷

Super solid advice! I had to learn to cook on my own before KZread and thousands of food blogs existed, and it took me years to learn a couple of these things. I can only imagine what a massive help this is to a beginner cook to get all this info right up front!

Mountain Breeze - if you prep everything beforehand and have a plan of attack, then you'll mitigate the stress of cooking. If cooking from a recipe, always read the full recipe first before starting. And even while cooking, sometimes it's good to read a few steps ahead to make sure you understand what's going to be happening next. And also, if you think it's cooking too fast, turn the flame down or turn it off completely until you feel ready to keep going. Work on simple things first like cooking a steak and making pasta. Doing extremely complicated recipes is for much later when you've gotten more experience and learned to stay calm in the kitchen.

This is an amazing video. I’ve been cooking with my mother since I was maybe 6-7 years old so a lot of these things seemingly came naturally (like letting the veggies sit, knowing when the chicken need to be flipped, seasoning, and prepping beforehand). Of course there were some things I had to learn like heat control, the order of how things should cook, and etc. But over all, there are so many things here that I didn’t even realize were things that needed to be taught. Thanks a lot! This really helps me whenever I have to teach my niece or anyone else how to cook.

Thanks Mike. I have made these about 10 times now and it turns out beautifully. Also loved all the little tips you gave along the way. Please keep going on!

This is the best looking stir fry recipe I’ve ever watched honestly. So many others look soggy and way too over cooked and just not enjoyable. This is the first time I am craving stir fry. Definitely gonna try these tips out!

A lot of the tips in this video were for a specific style of stirfry. For instance, there's no reason you need to precook meat for a stirfry. It's supposed to be a quick and easy meal, so finding ways to save time is often a good idea. This is also an American style stirfry, because it's cooked on a medium level heat in a nonstick pan. A Chinese style stirfry would be cooked in a wok on a very very high heat. You could approximate this by using cast iron on high heat.

@Billythachikk

I would personally always precook chicken for safety reasons. Pork I wouldn't worry about, I would throw that in on higher heat with the vegetables after a quick browning and be done in 10-15 minutes. But it's probably a preference. My significant other once got bird flu as a child, so we take chicken very seriously, haha.

It's about core temperature. If your chicken reaches 65 celsius, that's when you can stop worrying. That's where salmonella has died. At higher temperature, the chicken gets dry.

What's it with the smoking pan amoung youtube chefs? Teflon should not be heated empty, and neither should thinner skillets, like wrought iron or carbon steel. Heat an appropriate amount of heat stable oil (don't use fancy oil, as it will degrade like all other oils) until it shimmers or a drop of water sizzles away audibly upon contact. Unless you're really searing beef (it's ok to get a bit of smoke from the oil, not the PTFE, then) you don't need THAT high heat. A good sizzle is enough for almost anything.

It's a bit hard to tell on video really, especially with dark surface pans. Look for a wavy pattern as the oil starts moving a bit. The water flicking usually does the trick, but it's probably a good idea not to flick it into the center, as that part heats up first (usually), and the rest of the pan may still be hot. Anyway, chicken and pork really doesn't need a very aggressive sear mostly.

@drownthedays

I happen to find nonstick coatings generally unnecessary, with the right technique you won't get much sticking even in stainless steel cookware. True, stir fries are done at very high heat, but using a wok, very stable oil, small pieces and a very short amount of time. It wouldn't exatly be a good idea to try and heat a teflon skillet as high as a carbon steel wok, would it?

One of the best youtube videos ive watched! i thought i knew how to cook but i just earned so much! Great tips!

Im a 22 year old college student who never really cooked before I started college at 19. I mean I knew how to scramble up some eggs or make a basic tomato sauce but that was it. Thus I ate relatively unhealthy. Lots of take away, lots of sandwiches.. but I soon realised I never had much energy and that it gets expensive that way. I slowly started to work my way upwards and now I'd consider myself as a pretty decent cook. I can follow virtually every recipe without problems, I make perfect steak, I can cook "freestyle" pretty good.. it's a huge change. It's fun, it tastes so much better and with smart shopping and cooking in badges the save in money is insane But to get to the point, I love this tips and agree with every single one of them. Especially cutting everything in advance and not frying everything to death at the highest heat or the trash bowl are my favourites. This may be considered for an intermediate version but I'd also recommend getting a mortar. Using fresh pepper and blending it together with dried Chili or herbs takes food to the next level easily. Also looking forward for stuff like "kitchen safety". I know you have videos like "how to cut" but I think I'd still be great to have it in this series. Or "Things to never do when things go avry in the kitchen". Great video!

It really isn't that big of a deal either way. What is important to consider is your understanding of the oil and its smoke point. Adding oil to a cold pan "may" cause the oil to degrade a bit, but unless you're using a sesame or virgin olive oil, it won't make much difference. When adding to a hot pan, however, you will end up with an instantly burnt oil if you add a low smoke point to a hot n' toasty pan! Butter may also burn if added to a really hot pan even though it has a higher smoke point because it still has milk proteins in it (unless it is clarified, meaning it was melted and the milk solids separated). Just make sure your "hot pan" is not going to be "too hot" for the oil you are using! Happy cooking

Names John Simply put...I'd say go work in a restaurant for a couple of months, perhaps years. You can start as a dishwasher and work your way up. Being a cook is no walk in the park, theres alot of stress. Theres alot of sweat. Theres alot of tears. But let me tell you, that feeling you get when you perfect the dish is so......amazing. Its hard to describe and its something that you normally feel after a hard dish, or pull of a nice combo with new ingredients. A career in cooking means devoting your life to food, and to your clients. If you are truly passionate about cooking, then I highly recommend you perhaps head into an apprenticeship under a local chef wherever you may me. You work for him, and he'll teach you the basics in the kitchen. Start slow, pick up the pace, and NEVER EVER compromise on quality. The world is full of chefs and cooks who slack off in the quality department after a few years and its depressing, we need more passionate chefs and cooks. Its a rewarding career, albeit a hard one. All the best in the kitchen !

I've been cooking since I was like 11 and it took me a long time to learn about different cooking temperatures and techniques for veggies. I used to dump everything in together. So, so important!

Can people not read, or listen? It *very* clearly says this is for beginners, and he explains the idea behind this came from teaching someone who didn't know any cooking at all. This isn't how to be a professional chef that wins international competitions 101. This is how to not set your food, your kitchen, or yourself on fire while making something you can eat 101. To the plethora of Professional Chefs, and cooking enthusiasts, your tips are awesome for people who know what they're doing, they're great for other chefs or cooking enthusiasts, but they're NOT beginner friendly. Your tips are how to burn everything and ruin your meal as a beginner trying to do stuff you're not capable of yet. They are not useful to total beginners, they're quite detrimental to beginners, thank you very much for trying to be helpful, but keep your audience in mind! The people this video is made for are not professional chefs, it's not cooking enthusiasts, it's for people who barely know how to cook pasta, if even that. They don't own fancy pots and pans, they don't own expensive and exotic seasonings, they don't have specialized tools, they have a beat up used pan and half a set of dull knives. Yeah, you could season the chicken with a dozen different herbs and spices and whatnot, but a beginner isn't going to have those, and speaking from personal experience, those spices and herbs are incredibly expensive when you have to buy all of them all at once. It might only cost a few cents for the spices you use when you have them, but buying them when you don't have any can be hundreds of dollars a beginner doesn't have. Virtually everyone has salt and pepper. It all comes down to who the target audience is, and it quite clearly states it's NOT professional chefs or cooking enthusiasts. I appreciate wanting to be right, and show off how much you know, but please think a little more before you flood the comments with info useless to beginners, on a video for beginners.

well if you're prepared you can save time by cutting while you cook with some of the ingredients, you just shouldn't do it unprepared if you don't know how much free time the cooking will give you

Starrgate I know it was just an observation I made :)

Great video. I don’t cook chicken that much because I never know when it’s cooked through. You tips have finally solved that mystery for me. The sautéed vegetables looked yummy!

This is so helpful, thank you! My parents didn't cook at all and so I learned none of this growing up; it has been so incredibly frustrating to hear over and over how "easy" stir fry is and then have mine turn out so dry and tasteless. Now I get it why, because the recipe says "cook chicken over medium high heat" and leaves out all this other stuff! Thank you for breaking it down.
