My friend’s parents came from China and ran a Chinese food restaurant in Canada. He taught his daughter how to cook Chinese food. It’s unbelievable! Ribs are my favourite with her dad’s Chinese bbq sauce. Yum The story of his survival is remarkable. Orphaned at 7 and raised himself on the streets of rural 50’s China. He was a survivor for sure. ❤

Sesame oil is really a finishing oil because a lot of The Taste gets cooked out when you cook with it use a cheaper oil to cook with and season with the sesame oil. That's coming from a 4 cook 50 years in the making

In addition, stores will sell either 100% sesame oil or a blend of vegetable and sesame oil, the latter being about 50/50. 100% pure sesame is very strong and can overpower and ruin a dish if you use too much. When following recipes that call for sesame oil, often times it doesn’t clearly state if it’s 100% pure or a blend. Therefore, I always suggest going a bit light on the sesame oil at first, then adding more to taste.
For those that may not know cold day old rice is best to use because the rice is dryer and will give your fried rice a good texture and bring out the flavors of all ingredients, most the ppl here in hawaii make fried rice , when the rice is day old from icebox aka refrigerator it’s easy to break apart so rice not sticking together

Your spread is very affordable, has many great concepts and yes, it's affordable! What excellent ideas for making your own sauces... I'll modify them for my preferences and greatly appreciate your video bc I love Asian style cooking. Refrigeration changes the carb effect of rice. Freshly cooked rice spikes blood sugar. Refrigerated rice is slower to process into carbs and therefore better on your digestion and lowers the soaring carb effect. Try buying a bulk peanut oil for this type of frying. It has a high smoke point and is healthier than *soybean* , canola, palm, cottonseed and safflower oils used in vegetable oil. They have a high smoke point but they're almost always sold when already rancid (not healthy). Most people can smell rancid oil. And it gives off a fishy smell for some. This is horrible in many ways. When oil breaks down, it begins to oxidize and release free radicals. These compounds will have negative health consequences, including causing cellular damage that leads to serious disease development. Also, oils that reach their smoke point release a substance called acrolein, which can create an unpleasant burnt flavor. Airborne acrolein is dangerous to your lungs. Soybean ingredients, including oil, are known to have harmful effects on humans. You can replace soy sauce with Amino acids which are HEALTHY! Get off everything soybean oil... it's in everything... #1 ingredient in mayonnaise. It's hidden in some flour tortillas, breads, sauces, almost all dressings sold on the shelf, etc. It has detrimental effects on the neurological pathways of the human body. I was severely ill and eliminated all soybean products and oils and had a remarkable positive turn because of that one ingredient. Much more research needs to be done on the ingredients allowed in the USA that are banned in many European and other countries.

Growing up, my parents let us pick a meal for our birthdays. Mine was almost always Chinese takeout. I think my birthday being December 23 had a lot to do with why I was one of the few children (out of 6 kids) to get that splurge. As an adult now, it's hard to spend the money, and I've started to cook it myself. My favorite dish is honey walnut shrimp. For the price of one serving, I can make a pound of shrimp. It's also a super easy recipe that comes together quickly with minimal ingredients. Better than take out.😋😋😍

Very great advice 😊
I trim the exterior of the broccoli stems bc they are woody. I dice them up and freeze for broccoli rice casserole or broccoli cheddar soup. Prevents the need to buy it when the time comes.
I always chopped up the broccoli stems and store in ziplock in freezer until I need them I use in broccoli soup western omlettes and stir fry just need to cook then until tender the stems are very flavorful more than florets
If you take the ends of the green onions and put them in dirt you will grow your own green onions. That saves money too
We get the crab ragoons from sams. Its $10 for 20 of them. Also egg rolls are $9 for 16. Much better than the restaurants and not much more expensive than making homemade
I LOVE Chinese food but it is so expensive to order. It costs us around $35-$40 to order 2 appetizers and 2 entrees and like you said, you’re hungry again in 2 hours. You fed a family of 5 a big selection of items for under what I cost me for 2, and I’m sure you had some leftovers!!! I’m definitely going to try this!

Asian dishes can be daunting to try at first... but once you acquire all the sauces and ingredients over time and have them in your pantry, then it's simply a matter of buying the main dish items. I have been getting better and better over the last decade at cooking American style Chinese buffet dishes bc I had 3 kids myself and to go out was just out of our budget most of the time. But how often do we crave especially teens, to go hit up the buffet??? So I got really good at cooking Asian dishes and met and developed some good friendships with a few Asian ppl from my local Asian grocery stores where I learned to purchase the best items! So I got all kinds of tips and tricks of the trade!! It just takes practice and like I said a few simple tricks that you can find online! But anytime you can always shop at the local Asian market! It makes a big difference and you could meet ppl who can give you lots of pointers! My experience is they love when Westerners try to enjoy and learn to cook their traditional foods. I've even eaten lunch in the back of the store with the employees who brought dishes from home, as well as been to my friend's home for dinner several times now as well. Now that my kids are gone and they come home for Christmas they only want me to make Asian food!! I also grew up on the border of Mexico so I'm a pretty authentic Mexican cook as well! So my kids don't have many memories of going out to eat sadly. However, instead they have memories of coming home with their friends for Taco Tuesdays, Always did Chinese on Saturdays, French food on Fridays....you get the picture! I always made a theme! It also made it fun and helped my kids want to try new foods and have adventurous eating habits! So I suppose I made up for it. Now that they're grown they call me for recipes or tips. My youngest still in college just wants me to send her home with meals, or come home and have me cook still. But that's OK it's my love language!! Hehehe

I don't want to be too precise, because you had some surplus ingredients, and some pantry items, but I compared what you made to the cost of these at my local Chinese restaurant. The chicken dishes would have been $10/ea, chow mein, either 10 or 12, and the eggrolls, rangoons, and donuts would have been about 8 each. Add our 7.75% tax and a 10% tip and it's nearly $78.00.

Peel the stringy outside of the broccoli off until you just have the tender inside of the broccoli. Cut it up in same-size pieces and cook at the same temperature as other vegetables. The broccoli is nice with the same texture through the entire dish with the other vegetables! You could’ve trimmed that red pepper so a lot of it wouldn’t go to waste as I caught a lot of it going into the compost. All and all - looking good!🪭🪅💐🦾🦾🙏🏻

$70 grocery bill for Canadians in Ontario. I calculated the cheapest Walmart brand prices. It was the chicken that broke the budget. The same amount of chicken costs $30. And the products aren’t proportionate, you have more product. I can’t remember when I saw a canned item in Canada for less than a dollar even with sale prices. Just so you are aware. The struggle is real up here.
In case you weren’t sure or didn’t know, the difference between chow mein and lo mein is chow mein are like stir fried noodles versus lo mein where in lo mein you boil your noodles in sauce or water. Hope this helps! 😁

The terms are used very differently in the US and the UK. In the UK, chow mein noodles are soaked to rehydrate and then stir fried. It seems that in the US, people call all sorts of noodles lo mein and a very crispy noodle thing is chow mein. I was baffled when I first found that out 😂

One thing to be wary about, rice dishes. You have to cool the rice within a certain length of time and make sure its properly reheated or you can risk food poisoning. Reusing your plate that still has rice on it that sat out for an hour or more after you took it out of the fridge is a bad idea. Make sure you wash the plate in between uses. Also, as others have said, sesame oil is a finishing oil. It has a lower smoke point than vegetable or sunflower oil (even abocado oil is better) so it can burn and cause your food to taste sour. Use a high smoke point oil, (not olive oil, again, low smoke point) and have a very high heat under your pans. Sesame oil should be added after it's cooked and then stirred through.

This is such a fun idea! I definitely need to try this with my family!

I used to do this when I had all the kids around. Pot stickers are fun to do also.

Haven't watched it yet but excited too. I always wind up spending too much even making Chinese at home, so excited to find a better way
Brocoli stalks are also super yummy when made into pickles (pickled jalapeño juice, soysauce, a bit of water, and sugar) or even chopped finely in a salad or cooked with cabbage and sausage is super yummy.
