I watch a lot of food content on KZread and no one does the level of explanation that you do. From comparing the different brands of an item, to explaining the subtle differences (if any), to offering easier-to-find substitutions, to the reasons why a cooking method/technique is employed. The list goes on and on. Very much appreciated! I also appreciated the "squash the Mongolian beef" comment. 😄 Your channel needs to blow up in popularity. You deserve it!!

Some channel does go into detail but most of them are not fluent in English or having the adequately video editing skill to make the video interesting to viewer. This channel strikes that perfect balance
Testing potato starch, corn starch and egg only in a side by side comparison - plus truly epic research on each component. THIS is why i'm a subscriber
I love this level of explanation on velvetting the meat. I really have to give Jason props for going undercover at PF Changs, learning their ways, infiltrating their network and bringing back this recipe.
Don't change a thing Jason, your videos are great. Explanatory and entirely useful.
This recipe was BOMB. I just followed every step including the 24 hour alkaline marinade and the overnight velveting. Managed to get my hands on almost all the branded ingredients, except used a different mushroom dark soy sauce and a vegan oyster sauce. Sooooo good, thanks so much! Felt like I learned so much doing this (including the minced garlic hack) and the beef was so tender and tasty at the end. Thank you!!!

Just curious why you would use vegan oyster sauce but still add beef?
THANK YOU for finally displaying what it means to cut either against the grain or with grain. That part has confused me for years and your demonstration and explanation made it so easy to understand.
I love all of the small comparisons between different methods/ingredients. It’s like you have a whole test kitchen working for you.
It should also be said, Mongolian Beef is one of the only dishes popularized by Chinese-American restaurants to cross the Pacific and be a major hit back in the PRC.
I love this channel because you put so much time and thought into your videos. You stand out from most recipe channels because you truly seek the best version of a recipe by trying out different brands of the same ingredients or test out slight variations in ingredients to see what produces the best result. It takes so much time and effort to do that and it doesn’t go unnoticed! I also appreciate how you show us the exact brand to buy and I like how you include both the teaspoons/ tablespoon/ cup measurements as well as the gram measurements which is most important to replicating the recipe. I absolutely love your cooking videos because of this! Keep up the good work Jason 😁

@@nancy9478 Lee Kum Kee has some gluten free soy sauce. You could probably sub in a mushroom-based sauce for the oyster sauce, e.g. vegan oyster sauce. Michiu made without any wheat exists, and failing that you should be able to find another suitable rice-based wine. Other than those ingredients, I don't see any problems making it gluten and seafood free.

Incredible video with such detail...its like you have a question and then you answer it so specifically just a few seconds later. It's like you know what the amateur cooks are going to ask before they ask and what the next questions will lead too. Excellent videos and bravo on the teaching and research.
I normally am not a fan of any chain restaurants outside a couple burger ones. PF Chang's is pretty much one of my favorite restaurants period and I worked in restaurants for most of my life and a lot of really high end ones. I don't eat out very often at restaurants because I know I can cook better than most and have better ingredients most of the time, but I just really enjoy this restaurant's food. My super rich old boss used to use me as a valet and we would always stop there and have a vodka rocks before eating. Might be why I look at the place so fondly now.
Super nice. Learning all these techniques really builds my ambition but it also makes me appreciate all the fine ingredients that go into delicious Asian dishes.

what's up, brother! great to see you again!
FINALLY thank you i've been looking for this recipe all over the internet!
THANK YOU for explaining the baking soda's off flavor and to use it in a brine rather than dry. I get such a nasty off taste from velveting with it and NOW I understand how to avoid that! I am so happy! 🤣✌
Thank you Jason! Your video's are always so interesting as well as educational. I love Mongolian beef, but hate going out to restaurants. I will try this myself. We have an Asian market just a few miles down the road.
Engaging in-depth presentation! The details provided make me feel confident trying to prepare something on the exotic side of my experience.

Some additional info. The alkaline marinade is new from when I worked there but the "slurry" we used to velvet the proteins was egg, corn starch, white pepper, and some oil. Sesame is also a sesame/canola blend. But otherwise everything is about right on.

I like that you show the exact ingredients to buy. I have a big Asian market nearby, but I get overwhelmed in there and I don’t know what to buy. I haven’t had this dish from PF Changs but I have tried it in other restaurants. Thanks for this recipe! Although it does seem like it will take a while, with all the marinating, velveting, re-hydrating garlic, etc.
