I grew up in Los Angeles and was never taught anything about Chinese immigrant history.

A lot of Asian/Asian-American history is still overlooked (and at worst, ignored) in basic education, and never gets discussed, unless you're specifically taking classes that specifically focus on Asian Americans (particularly in college). There's still a lot of Anglocentric history being taught. The vast majority of what I know now about Asian American history in the United States has been learned after secondary and post-secondary education by what I run into in media by chance. It's a real tragedy that American history ignores the sacrifices of the Chinese (and Asian) immigrants made in the past that contributed so much towards the prosperity that the United States experiences today, particularly the construction of the American transcontinental railroad, and the resulting immigration exclusion laws to reward the immigrants. I can't speak to the Canadians and how their history is taught, since I did not grow up in Canada, but Canada also did similar things when their Canadian transcontinental railroad was built. Many Chinese immigrants lives were lost to help build the railroad (notably the Western half), which helped unify Canada and also helped Canada be as prosperous as it is today. Canada also passed exclusionary immigration policies at the time. The big difference is that I've noticed that such events have been mentioned, and even highlighted, when I've visited relevant sites in Canada. It is not as easy to find such history being mentioned in the United States.

There's simply not enough time to explain things in enough detail to understand context in a couple of semesters, but that is more than enough time to selectively teach what you want people to be patriotic about. To my teacher's credit, she did do extra research to elaborate on the half a page's worth of text on Chinese railway workers in Canada, but building a whole railroad across the country could easily be 100 hours' worth of content, not 20 minutes worth, let alone how immigrant cultures developed over time. Even WW1 and WW2 content cuts out everything not on the western front and declares Verdun the biggest battle in WW1 which is nowhere near accurate.

discrimination? It was more than just discrimination. They used to block entrances and set buildings on fire to burn thousands of Chinese innocent civilians including women and children to death. They passed laws in the government that was extremely unfair and racist against the Chinese. Why? Because the Chinese are way better preserving their culture and traditions than let's say other Asian minorities in America, and did not conform to American assimilation which in my view is absolutely culture destroying. It saddens me to see 3rd or 4th generation immigrants forgetting their language, culture, history, and traditions. I'm an Armenian American in Los Angeles and was raised here since I was a toddler, the same is happening to my people. I hope we have a chance to go back to our motherland and to correctly honor our ancestors instead of shaming them. For if we don't, all of the cultural preserving efforts over thousands of years would have been for nothing.

I appreciate that your channel offers so much context with historical as well as cultural information and not “just” the recipes. Please keep doing what you do! (I discovered your channel a week or two ago)

I'm actually an animation filmmaker, and funny enough, I've always made a big parallel between cooking and filmmaking. Both are about how to carefully choose your ingredients (actors, screenwriters, musicians, crew), chop them in different harmonious slices (editing), cook them for a certain amount of time and in various way (framing, lighting, shooting), and add the right amount of spices (vfx & motion graphics) and make sure the whole thing is not only beautiful looking with harmonious colors (color grading) but also delicious (emotions), but also healthy (storytelling) and filling (morality). To me, in order to be a good director, you need to be a good cook first ^^ ! And if your dad is an excellent cook in the kitchen, you definitely inherited his cooking skills and passion behind your camera and in front of your editing computer. We're blessed to have such a passionate & loving family to enjoy online, through both the love of cooking and good food, the love of filmmaking... And the love of family, simply. So thank YOU for bringing us all such "simple" joy, in these needed times. Very glad to see some kind of Renaissance of Asian related content (your channel), shows and movies (Turning Red, Shang Chi) for the popular mainstream audience, especially after a couple of very hard years for the Asian communities all over the world.

Oh hell yes, cheap takeout Chinese chicken wings are awesome! I remember for years I'd see friends ordering them and wondering why they'd order chicken wings at a Chinese restaurant. "How good could they be?" I thought. When I finally tried them to see what they're like for myself, I finally understood why so many people in the hood get them. They're some of the best wings ever! Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and flavorful throughout with a similar flavor to certain Latin foods with this kind of garlic, onion, turmeric type taste but different. And that hot sauce they give you with them has this magical nostalgic taste that no other hot sauce has making it even better. Add to it pork fried rice or fries with an ice cold can of Pepsi and you got yourself the lunch/dinner of champions. Man, it's been years since I've had that but this is making me wanna get some wings and fried rice soon. That dish to me is the definition of Chinese American comfort food. I get warm fuzzies thinking of it. Thanks for bringing that into my conciousness. :)

I do not consider food cooked by Chinese workers in America from the 1850s to the 21st century as "fake" Chinese food. Unable to obtain products they had in China, they adapted local produce and meat products to create dishes that remind them of their home country. They used Chinese kitchen techniques to create an essence of Chinese home cooking. American Chinese food can be considered a regional cuisine of China. The Chinese in Peru have also created wonderful regional Chinese dishes, among them is Lomo Saltado. They adapted Peruvian products with Chinese kitchen techniques. South African Chinese as well as Chinese in other counties have done the same.

I grew up with one single Asian family in my town (a small one) and sadly the father, who ran a small market on a bad side of town, was murdered at the front counter with his family in the back of the building - their home was attached. One of his sons was my very best friend for many years, but after this incident they moved to California (they had family there). It took me 20 years to get back in touch with him, and sadly, we'd just grown to far apart. This recipe takes me back to a time where I was introduced to a different culture and shared an amazing friendship with someone in a small Mississippi town, surrounded by racism.

I hope your father can continue cooking for years to come. 😁

It is also great that you will have these videos to share with your children and future generations. Thank you and your family for your work and dedication. The one sad thing about racism and discrimination in the US is that all of the groups experiencing this cruelty never united en masse in a single protest. Those in power made sure everyone was fractured and pitted groups against each other. Let's hope Hong Doy's America will be more inclusive than it is today.

It's a sad history, a history that shouldn't be forgotten because other immigrants faced the same form of discrimination throughout the years and to this day. But food was the bridge because it's so relatable, yet so personal. Please, continue to do what you do and show that much of the food that we know as "Chinese" didn't appear out of a vacuum. BTW, Egg fuyung is very similar to Filipino "Ukoy".

Really love this channel. Amazing that its grown so quickly!

Thank you for this great historical information. We all love good food and it brings us together. Thank you for sharing your families story! I enjoy your Dad and have learned so much! Happy new year!

Food can really be the perfect vehicle to share culture and history. Thanks for this video

I am enjoying your channel. Growing up we had friends from many cultures and food is a way to get to know their culture.

Your content just keeps getting better and better. I love how you included the historical context as it's really helpful for myself (Asian Canadian) to learn more about our heritage and culture. In Canada, it was a similar story to the states with the Head Tax and Chinese Exclusion Act with lots of Chinese immigrants coming to North America in search of opportunities and building the Canadian Pacific Railway (I think there was something similar happening in the states as well). The tragedies faced in our community was brutal and it's really sad that it's sweeped under the rug and not talked about as much, but I do have faith that ppl are becoming more educated.

Love the story telling and historical context

What a fantastic recipe. I will try to make this tonight. Your family is so lovely. Please thank your parents for me!
