If the online store takes off we will be able to do videos full time as we would stop cooking and do this instead.
We have 3 generations of Chinese/Malaysian chefs in our family, as a family have owned takeaways and restaurants in the UK, Brunei, Malaysia and Hong Kong. We are not just 2 people who think we know how takeaways do things because we are Chinese, we know how they do things because we'd done it for generations, we're here to teach you the secrets that they don't want you to know :)
We will be doing some more taste test as requested, not sure what next, might do a shop around this time to get as many sauces as we can.

    you are supposed to process the bicarb and water FIRST ONLY ... let it sit for 30min - 2hr THEN RINSE off the bicarb BEFORE marinading in other ingredients. This way is NOT the correct way and incorrect. this is just lazy. Ive grown up my entire life around a chinese restaurant as my parents ran a chinese restaurants as did my aunties and uncles and not one of them prepare this way. my father is. trained chef from hong kong and said specifically not washing the bicarb soda OFF your meat leaves the meat very alkaline and can leave your meat tasting very gritty with an unpleasant after taste in your mouth

    This is a LOT harder than you make it look. I bought a large joint of beef from the supermarket and it had a lot of fat on it - removing the fat and sinew is the hardest part of this. Also I had a "reasonably" sharp ceramic knife and it made a lot of difference - it just didn't cut it (sorry for the pun). You guys are truly experts at this and I'm very impressed by your culinary skills. I will never walk past a chinese take-away again without appreciating just how much hard work they put into their dishes. Thank you guys!

To self publish our book is going to cost alot, as to get them at a resonable price to be able to sell we have to print in the thounsands.

    Hi ziang I love you and your mam's channel .. can I ask when you say you can freeze the beef will it keep for a while and be fine to use just like any other meat or will it not keep due to the marinade/tenderising process ?.. many thanks and love the channel.. peace

    Ah! Now I know why the beef in my "Beef in Green Pepper and Black Bean Sauce" never tastes the way I want it to taste. Cutting it with the grain (Doh!) and missing the garlic powder (Double Doh!) and then using it fresh rather than freezing it to tenderise it. I'd never heard of that technique but it makes sense so thanks a ton for this and you can ignore my request for the recipe since it was just the beef that never turned out right. Thanks so much!

    can i use this method to tenderize mutton chops and lamb chops? should i marinate for 30 mins and then wash it off then dry? how long should i leave it to tenderize? afterwards i would marinate in indian style using yogurt, lemon juice and other herbs/ spices etc overnight and they fry them and then bbq them to give charcoal effect...is that ok.... or would yogurt and lemon juice (even though theyre for flavouring) over tenderize the meat? please reply asap

    made this yesterday, for the beef in mushrooms. I didnt have time to freeze it but i left it for about 3 hours in the fridge. Beef was nice, tender and no stringy bits. I know take-away chinese is quite salty but i think i might reduce the amount of salt in the dishes. i'm finding, with the salt, msg and the soy, it's maybe too salty.

It was very nearly almost like the beef from my local takeaway, but alas I forgot to put in the oil and only left in the fridge rather than the freezer - false of habit. But next time I *will* remember this and I have no doubt it will be perfect. Thank you both so much for sharing your techniques, it really has made cooking all that more fun now due to the authentic takeaway taste but at home!

    I may have said this in a previous video as a comment, so apologies in advance, but surely there are fellow professionals in the Chinese takeaway trade who are none too happy with you two unravelling age old takeaway secrets. Everyone is richer for it but secrets like this beef preparation or adding custard powder to a lemon sauce are simply egging Bob on the corner to cook his favourite takeaway from home. Good and bad in equal measure you could say. Cheers and thanks!
