hi

Hi Josh, I am a Chinese (in more specific I come from Hong Kong), I can say that your recipes are 85% similar to the traditional recipes. I'd like to point out some things from my understanding. 1) you could have a wok lid instead of just using the aluminum foil to cover the wok, if you need one I think uncle roger can help @mrnigelng; 2) if you have enough time, please soak the dried mushroom with room temperature water for overnight, it can keep more of the favour inside the mushroom; 3) completely cool down the turnip cake before you fry it, it is completely correct, but you should leave it in fridge for overnight instead of just leave in room temperate for 1-2 hours, It looks so soft while you are frying it; 4) the lotus leaves don't look exactly the same as the one we used in Hong Kong (or Canton), but I think it is quite difficult to find it in overseas. Anyway i think Uncle Roger can still give you the Uncle title after watching this video :)

im from the US so thanks for your commentary! the leaves he is using in the video are actually corn husks, because lotus leaf is expensive/hard to find in the states, so josh is trying to get the most authentic texture and flavor with what he can use. corn husks are often used for steaming tamales and are much easier to find in the states.

Also the turnip cake should use a specific type of chinese cured sausage called lap cheong. It should be available in most chinese super markets (Chinese Cooking Demystified did a whole video on it). It's hard to explain but it has a very unique texture and taste that isn't similar to any other common cured meats so it's definitely worth looking for.

As a Chinese, I would say the items you picked are very traditional in this episode. Well done Josh!

How'd it go? This seemed like a tough one to get them all up at the same time - needing multiple steamers/woks going at once

A large produce stand I shop at regularly has an entire aisle of mushrooms. All different types. They always bag up the mushrooms that haven't sold or look a bit beat up. (still good tasting) and sell them for the same price as the button type.I make mushroom soup often with these or dehydrate them for future use. Part of cooking is shopping for ingredients carefully, especially if you're on a budget.

Big tip on the Char Sui. Use brown sugar( a lil less of whatever white sugar is called for recipe.) the molasse in the brown sugar will hold the meat's moisture better when cooked. Try it out, it gives a slight hint of caramel sweetness.

I’m a classically trained baker and feel like I’ve learned so much more from you then I have at culinary school 😊 I genuinely appreciate you and actually try your recipes which are flawless so thank you for being your awesome self!!! Love the way you say onions!!!!

As a Chinese, I have to say this meal has nothing to do with “easy”…Great work!

I love these recipes! But as a cantonese who eats cheung fun every other day, I’ve never had it with the mushroom/cabbage filling. It’s normally filled with pork/beef/egg and served with Cheung fun soy sauce, which is absolutely essential and is most important part of the dish. As for the turnip cake(my favorite food!), we would switch some of the mushroom for dried scallops and dried shrimp for better umami, and add a bit of ginger for the daikon. I would also add less water for a bit of a firmer texture. Lastly, you should let the cake cool completely then put it into the fridge overnight to firm up before cutting and frying. Great job overall!

My wife is Chinese, and "chang fen" as we know it is AMAZING! We lived just a short 45 minute train ride north of Hong Kong, and this dish was a staple for us! I'm totally going to make this and surprise the heck out of her this weekend! The other recipes?

ive used several of your recipes and found they all work so well, thank you for making cooking so fun and exciting! I love rewatching your videos as Im cooking which makes it ten times as fun, as it feels like im taking a cooking class

Going to an Asian market for all your vegetables is a great money saving idea, at least in my area. Garlic, every kind of onion you could ever need, root and leafy vegetables, they're all almost half the price of big box grocery stores here and you can support a small business that actually needs your money to boot.

You make it sound so simple and fun! Excellent! More Asian/dim sum dishes please!

Just got your book the other day and I am so excited to try your recipes!! I have been cooking since I was way young and you spark a fire under me to try harder to enhance my culinary skills!

Coming from a Chinese background style, this was very interesting to watch and I love seeing the culture spread out to show an amazing style of food service Dim Sum provides for newcomers and the sight they see when we say Dim Sum. Personally I've never seen mushroom cheung fun from Chicago to New York to California but I love a beef or shrimp cheung fun with like a ginger sauce. I would recommend that for some flavor taste coming from my childhood taste buds ❤ - anyways, video kept me on my toes and I enjoyed every second of it!

Very awesome to see you making this about dim sum. Being a Cantonese myself, dim sum is a REALLY important part to us. Great to see the exposure for this

Love these budget meals Josh, they are helpful & inspiring.

I've been watching your content for quite some time and it was awesome to see you in person at Iowa State last night! Thanks for coming and giving us a great night!

Char sui should be marinated in sugar first alone for 3 hours/ overnight. The red color actually comes from red bean paste, not food coloring. You can add that or add 1.5 tbs of hoisin sauce

Going to to a Dim Sum restaurant is always a treat. Especially when they go around with the cart and stop by your table and showing what they have.

Your Asian recipes are always my favourite 😍

SO MUCH WORK. This man's thumbnails give me anxiety. 3 dollars of money but 100 dollars of labour cost.

I'm so happy you covered cheong fun :D I've been gorging myself on them whenever possible for the past 30 years. I suggest the traditional sweetened soy sauce as a topping.

Hello Joshua, i love your videos, you show just the right amount of energy & the perfect speech/talking speed.. thus, my intense focus when watching your videos i have tried all your recipes and cooking style/method.. now, i was hit with a damning haemorrhagic stroke and made me a hemiplegic (paralyzed one side).. it's quite difficult to cook and prep ingredients on my own now without assistance (yeaps, even with adaptive tools) you should try using these adaptive tools in one of your videos. i would love to see you figuring out how you prep ingredients + utilize the tools sans disability.. lots of love from borneo island,southeast asia, papa.

Hey Josh I know it's a but cheaper video and we're trying to use things we already have, but I would recommend using a chinese brand soy sauce like Lee Kum Kee over a japanese brand like Kikkoman! Totally different flavor profiles and it would be more authentic. Not saying Kikkoman is bad, I use it a lot in my Japanese cooking, but always use the thin and dark soy sauce in Chinese cooking

I would cook the pork dumplings like pot stickers. In a pan. Little oil, dumplings in, add a layer of water and cover with lid. The dumplings are done when the dough (and filling) is cooked and the bottoms are crispy. Maybe try one first to get the feeling. In some places they even use starchy water to get more crust.

I feel like I ran a marathon watching this..... now imma cook it all!

Can’t believe you actually crammed all these goodies in a 14 minute video…you’re the MAN Josh! 🤗

Nothing beats Dim Sum. They’re sure to fill up your appetite in one go. In Joshua we trust.

Baked bao makes me think of my late great-uncle who worked near Chinatown in NYC, and he'd bring them home. I got these in visits to him any my now-late great-aunt (sister of my late grandmother), so lots of good memories. And Joshie, that voiceover sounded a bit rough in places. I hope you're taking care of yourself and doing okay. 🤗

I started the Bao recipe in mid January. I had to buy a second kitchen but we're making good progress. Should be done by June

woth the accurate price tagging on the ingredients always here to help young cooks to not forget the important things

I gotta say dim sum's ingredients are def cheap, but the amount of time spent to make it is alot haha! Amazing video!! Love it!

Asian cuisine is all that and Dim Sum.

Just line your baking tray with wet cheese cloth for cheung fan It make it easier to roll and taking it out of the baking tray

Chinese food tries to engage the mind, not just the palate. To provoke the intellect. Happy Chinese Meal! Cheers, Domenico.

The rice roll with fried cruller inside is truly underrated, texturally orgasmic, and the cheapest iteration too!

First time I've seen that type of sticky rice despite being Chinese, though I don't normally go for sticky rice as a whole so there's that. I might prefer that version (which I found out is called a Lo Mai Gai) than the one I'm used to seeing my parents eat, which is a bit more pungent (imo), usually triangular and darker in color (it's apparently called zongzi or rice dumpling elsewhere but I'm used to calling it machang, since that's what we call it here) Honestly a good video but damn this is the most labor-extensive But Cheaper I've seen lmao

@@KRYMauL Uh... no. Dim Sum originated in Cantonese dim sum culture began in tearooms in the latter half of the 19th century in the port city of *Guangzhou*, the capital of Guangdong, after opium dens were banned throughout the country. Silk Road travelers and traders would take breaks in tea houses for a dim sum meal. Zongzi, the sweet version is typically eaten in northern China and north of Taiwan. Lo Mai Gai originated in the night markets of Guangzhou, where the earliest form of the dish was made by steaming sticky rice together with salted chicken and sausage in a bowl made of China. Zongzi eaten in Southern China (Guangdong) with pork belly, Chinese sausage, and yellow mung beans wrapped in lotus leaf is quite common and my preference over chicken. Zongzi (sticky rice) is eaten year round at any restaurant that has dim sum on the weekends around the world.
