As a retired psychologist, after 40 years of practice, I’d like to recommend daily viewings of Souped Up Recipes for mild depression, having the blahs or the blues, or as a way of relaxing. I always get a lift from whatever video I watch because the hostess is so delightful, funny, smart & actually makes me want to cook again, even if it’s just for me. I have sent my daughters & all my friends & their friends a video along w/ a recommendation to just watch it & enjoy. I certainly w/ the person who wrote in their commentary that they wished she were their neighbor & would mow her lawn, wash her windows, etc. I really like reading other viewers’ comments as well as watching the videos. Thanks so much!

Ha! That's funny, that that is exactly what I'm doing: my Depressive Disorder is kicking in, & rearing its ugly head, so I'm tossed in bed, eating grapes, & drinking vodka: whipped cream Burnett's, at noon, on a Sunday. & watching all the choice Asian sauces I should go get, someday.. That's beautiful you're a psychologist. I'm just another Latino waiter in South Texas, who got laid off because of this terrible virus. haha! ❤️

I have seen a lot of Chinese cooking videos, and I must say this was one of the best explanations of ingredients and their differences and uses I have ever seen. Precise, to the point and a detailed reasoning behind every recommendation. There are not enough thumbs up to say how much I enjoyed this video.

I’m proud to say, after making many of your recipes these last 6 months I already have all 6 of your recommended sauces PLUS sesame oil, shrimp paste, various rice wine and vinegars, shao xing wine, mushroom flavored soy sauce (the absolute secret ingredient to great lo mein), mapo sauce, Chinese 5 spice, Korean chili powder, hot chili oil, black bean paste, and squid ink. You’ve definitely amped up my Asian cooking capabilities.

Mandy has volumes of knowledge and shares her "know-how" generously with her Viewers. She is truly a great teacher with patience to explain "the why and how" in preparing each of her delicious recipes. 💜

I appreciate your clear and thorough explanations as well as usage examples and what to look for in a quality product. So often, many other cooking channels will rattle off a bunch of "necessary" items for your Chinese pantry without specific examples as to WHY and WHERE they might be most used. This can save novice Chinese cooks money as well as assisting in creating more delicious and authentic tasting dishes. Thank you, Mandy!

I ordered the wok and now I know I ordered the correct ingredients. I cannot thank you enough for helping me to learn to cook a new way and to make wonderful food. You are the most organized person I’ve ever seen on KZread. Your channel is wonderful!

What a great video! It's very hard to find someone that can properly translate the art and nuances of Chinese cuisine into the English language. I find your videos are truly the best! Thank you so much for making your channel.

I live in a town where they look at you funny and ask so many question if you say you make your own Chinese food. If they want Chinese they go to the over priced Thai restaurant in town. They serve Chinese too. No thank you, I can make it myself so much cheaper.

I love how well organized and informative this presentation is. The advice on oyster sauce was spot on (used it yesterday) but, in general, so nicely done.

You never fail to impress me with your ability to be engaging, informative, & entertaining! I 💘 my wok I purchased from you! NO ONE is allowed to touch it but me! 😉 My friends & family love it when I make your recipes. Recently, while out with friends, they wanted to go to a nice Chinese restaurant. We ordered our food and started eating egg drop soup. Everyone stopped after the first bite, looked at me, & said "Your egg drop soup is so much better tasting & silkier!!" 😃💝 Egg Drop Soup was the first recipe I learned from you!! Thankyou so much for all your hard work and beautiful personality!

I am so happy that I found your channel! I have been binge watching your channel for the last week or so and oh and absolutely love your delivery of your message and your throne is! I also extremely love the fact that you incorporate your language into your videos!

Wow, Chinese cooking made easy, I have been looking for someone like you for ages!

This was very interesting video! Brand recommendations rock! I can not read the labels so having a recommendation from someone I trust who cooks naturally is very important to me. I could see purchasing items recommended by you and cooking many of your recipes! Thank you!

Thank you so much for compiling all this knowledge for strangers on the internet. Between you, Adam Liaw and Chinese Cooking Demystified, I feel ready soup up my culinary practice! I must say also as an added bonus that it feels like a proper way to honor the heritage of my teachers and masters in gongfu. (Incredible work on organizing all your efforts through amazon. As someone who lives in a remote arctic town, being able to get many of these tools and ingredients will be a source of so much joy) Much appreciated

This is so informative! My mum would tell me some stuff but not well. I love that you explain the reasons why one is better than the other, tying it to the artisan/natural production process. It explains that like everything, Chinese products are not homogenous and low quality - there are lower and higher quality versions of things depending on what people can afford. Just like European ingredients have a range. Thank you!

Because of your channel, I have ventured into Chinese recipes. Thank so much for all your recipes and recommendations!!!

Thanks Mandy, this helps a lot! I had no idea what I was getting into the first time I went into an Asian market.

Did you ever make any of the follow-up videos in this series, about other Chinese ingredients? If not, I hope you do. This was SOO helpful. I really appreciate how thorough you are when explaining everything. In my opinion yours is the best cooking channel on KZread! Keep it up!

Good afternoon 🌞 I wanted to tell you thank you so very much for your posts. I appreciate you doing them in English and giving measurements for ingredients. Your amazing 😍

I found a Chinese market right near my house and it was like Christmas 🎄, I bought all the things here by label so inexpensive too I spent 12 dollars on huge bottles of soy , oyster and cooking wine. Can you do a video on types of noodles in a Chinese market and what to use them for? I found so many types of noodles there .

Brilliant! Thank you so much! These ingredients can be confusing for those of us not familiar with these cuisines. Keep these videos coming!

Angela Joseph umami is a word rooted from Japanese. It’s a savory taste. It’s one of the five basic tastes (together with sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness). I believe it is 鲜 (xian) in Chinese. Actually, MSG has a very umami taste.

You can substitute the Houson sauce by using regular BBQ sauce, little bit of sweet and sour sauce and a tiny bit of soy sauce. That's what we do when we run out,,,because hoison sauce is basically Chinese BBQ sauce.

I love using mild molasses in coffee and anywhere else sugar is needed. It makes coffee a little richer and helps with things like muscle cramps and all the electrolytes balance out the dehydrating effects of caffeine. 1 taablespoon has around 5-7% of the magnesium and potassium you need in a day so I add a heaping tablespoon to each of the 3 cups i drink a day so it comes out to around 4 tablespoons a day which gives me around 20-30% of the potassium and magnesium in a day and really cut way down on the muscle cramps i get from exercising
