I hardly ever comment anything, but your videos make me want to go to China, eat everything you had and become your BFF!! You are so entertaining and fun. Don‘t ever stop doing what you love because you‘re amazing at it! Bravo!
those gluten clumps are often used in Chinese vegetarian dishes as "meat substitute" to give it texture and make people think they are eating chicken etc.
yeah i was going to say it reminded me of seitan, which is also used as a meat substitute and made the same way. looked it up and yeah pretty sure it's the same thing, just the west calls it by the Japanese name, seitan, instead. been seeing it more and more in the US, and the texture and shred-ability seem so great i really need to finally try it
Hi Amy! Love watching your videos as always! The food is soooo good looking through the computer 😂😋🤩 wish we could joined in! Enjoy all the yummy dishes and look forward to your next adventure!😊👋🏻👋🏻
as soon as that guy poured the hot oil my mouth started watering like crazy 😭😭 thank you for the lovely video!!! all these dishes looked superbly delicious
One of my favorite things to do when we have left over naan from office lunch, is ripping the nann open and filling the pocket with my Sichuan chili oil, and basically eating it like a chili oil calzone, super good. Very similar to the chili oil sandwich that Amy had today
as someone who recently started making my own seitan/mianjin at home, the ganmianpi blew my mind - i would've never thought to save the starch for noodles!! i know what i'll be making as soon as i can pick up more chili oil :~)
OMG I can't believe you came to my hometown Amy! I've been watching your videos for a few years and just never thought you'd make a trip to where I was born and raised 😂 Very impressed with the dishes you've chosen, you have definitely done your homework! Hope you enjoyed your time in Baoji and welcome again❤
Amyyyy.. I've been watching your videos for about a month now and I really find them entertaining and informative about regional cuisines. I actually am visiting Beijing this summer, July. I don't speak no Chinese and I am pretty exhausted thinking if I ever survive there. Would you mind doing more Beijing series? I'll be looking forward to them! Thank you
I so much enjoy your videos! They always make me hungry! If I could cook half as well as you eat I'd open a restaurant, in a heartbeat! 😋 Also, thank you for showing all of us non-Chinese folks life as it's lived in China. Always interesting!
For shaanxi people, chilli oil is the taste of home, taste of childhood. Just like shaanxi culture itself, chilli oil looks so simple but has so much flavor. Always miss it.
Wow! The mianjin is made by the same method as “seitan” which is a super popular protein source used for vegetarian/vegan food in the uk (might also be popular in other places but I don’t know!)
You have such an infectious good happy attitude!! And the way you show and describe food in China makes me so hungry haha I went to the Asian supermarket and got a bunch of ingredients to make some (slightly less spicy) versions of these dishes! Like omg all the noodle dishes you show look like comfort in a bowl
I could watch a thousand videos of yours in a row, such enjoyable content. Immensely sad that Germany is so timid regarding spices and different types of meat. Also, greetings to my fellow German Derk. Hope he is happy with his surgery.
You missed one of their most famous products, XiFeng Jiu (西凤酒)(West Phoenix Chinese Liquor)🤣. It's about 90% proof. Be funny to see you doing a drunken show😏
Yeah. The distiller is located in 凤翔区柳林镇, which is now part of BaoJi. For the longest time 凤翔县 was an independent county but it was rolled into Baoji recently. Most people don't know about 凤翔县@@davidw.2791
Coming from the South (HK SAR), I find the idea of savoury tofu pudding almost... sacrilegious. 🤣 Still, keen to give it a go. And yeah, a lot of (usually smaller) shopping mall food courts are actually filled with small, privately owns shops, so don't be too surprised if you get good and cheap grub in those places! It also seems to apply to SE Asian nations as well. P.S. Mianjin is actually used as a meat substitute in a lot of Chinese food, so that almost chickeny texture is expected.
Big data from China shows surprising health benefit of eating hot peppers. Provinces of China that prefer spicy food have much lower rate of stomach and intestine cancer cases, in comparison to those provinces that prefer non spicy food. Sichuan and Hunan have very low such caner cases, in comparison to, for an example, Canton. The reason is not clear, but certainly related to the hot sensation that burns to come into you, and burns to come out of you.
This is my first time watching your video, i only watched your reels before. I reaallyy love how you describe your food, youre really passionate when you talk and im watching you talking and eating in awe 😍😍😍
I have eaten or at least heard of most of the food in your videos, but this is the first time I have heard of ”douhuapaomo“, it looks delicious. Also, you are such a fan of chili and noodles. I like your positive attitude to learn about different cultures, and of course cuisines.
Watching from Sydney and I just can’t stop thinking of that chilly oil, which reminds me of the one I got on top of my Lanzhou beef noodle soup but could be something different 😂
Wow that chili oil sandwich looks delicious, but it could be too much a flame to me. I would try the maipi sandwich. :) Thanks for sharing once again a good video. 👍👍
Amy , you have been many provinces but Shandong you only went to Qingdao 😢 when! when will you start your tour in Shandong!??! And almost 400K follower now!!!!
Separating the starch and the gluten is how people make ‘seitan’ I think! And people use the gluten for a meat substitute which is why it felt like chicken to you! How cool, I didn’t realize it was its own dish in China already!
As a person who grew up in Xi'an and live in Canada now. I wanna say thank you to you for making these wonderful videos! They brings me back to my childhood memories.💗
Amy describes foods precisely mixing English and real Chinese, which I find the best among all the food bloggers. But probably only people with understanding of both languages would appreciate fully!
Over 13 minutes of delicious food 🤤 but why did it go by in the blink of an eye? Amy, I cannot express how much I look forward to your food adventures and adventures; I'm saving so many for future reference because I really, really need to leave the comfort of my apartment in Ontario 🇨🇦 and finally get to China, though 43 later than planned.
I'm always so surprised by how similar Asian cuisine is to Albanian cuisine .. hianese chicken, bread in stew/soup.. onion filled pasty.. it's apparent that these ancient cultures have been on the same wavelength.
Same wavelengths in taste perhaps, not spontaneous invention of similar cuisine ideas. You have to thank Central Asians, silk road, Arabians and sea trade routes, these channels made the exchange of spices, food cultures, musical instruments and commodities possible for centuries. Good tasting cuisines have been shared between people in east and west for thousands of years already. Today's chili eating Chinese had to thank the 16th century Portuguese and Dutch merchants that brought peppers from the Americas to Southeast Asia.
I have honestly found that as much as I love the street food spots, I’ve had some AMAZING meals in those massive mall food courts Can’t beat the variety you get either lol - on a hot ass summer day in Bangkok going to the mall for some shopping and eating - can’t beat that shit!
Amy ! you should come to Taizhou to make a episode, which is the hometown of XIN RONG JI新荣记，the first ever Michelin 3 star Chinese cuisine restaurant in China, which is also my hometown. a fan from Melbourne. gonna be fun
I always put chilli oil and crisps in my sandwiches, so seeing the oil run down your fingers was very reassuring because for a while now I've being asking: "How can I stop this? This cannot be normal!" Needless to say, I go through a few paper towels at sandwich time.

Amy, I’m originally from Xi’an. My sis and I are surprised how did you know our secret eating way for ganmianpi in bun 😂😂😂 You are amazing!
She speaks pretty good Mandarin, so I bet that she asked a local person about the eating technique before she filmed the video!
She actual tells she seen locals do it
She has so much personality. I would love to see her as a guest on Hot Ones.
YEESSSS
@FirstWeFeast Hot Ones
This is... Delusional. 💀
i think she's got a little bit more work before she makes it on Hot Ones lol
Nah. Joe Rogan all the way.
I hardly ever comment anything, but your videos make me want to go to China, eat everything you had and become your BFF!! You are so entertaining and fun. Don‘t ever stop doing what you love because you‘re amazing at it! Bravo!
Man, I could watch an hour-long video of you trying out and showing all kinds of food. It's so interesting to see! Thanks for taking us with you. 🙌
those gluten clumps are often used in Chinese vegetarian dishes as "meat substitute" to give it texture and make people think they are eating chicken etc.

Your videos are so exciting I’m always on the edge of my seat and drooling over the food you eat 😂❤
Hi Amy! Love watching your videos as always! The food is soooo good looking through the computer 😂😋🤩 wish we could joined in! Enjoy all the yummy dishes and look forward to your next adventure!😊👋🏻👋🏻
Found you on TikTok and this is rapidly becoming one of my favourite comfort channels. Great work BiC!

Impressed by your creativity on food, your trial of combining food with another is so fun. Thanks for the video, love it.
OMG I can't believe you came to my hometown Amy! I've been watching your videos for a few years and just never thought you'd make a trip to where I was born and raised 😂 Very impressed with the dishes you've chosen, you have definitely done your homework! Hope you enjoyed your time in Baoji and welcome again❤
It continues to amaze me how inherently related, but different, culinary traditions are between two cities situated in such close proximity ❤
Amyyyy.. I've been watching your videos for about a month now and I really find them entertaining and informative about regional cuisines. I actually am visiting Beijing this summer, July. I don't speak no Chinese and I am pretty exhausted thinking if I ever survive there. Would you mind doing more Beijing series? I'll be looking forward to them! Thank you

Peppers spent ages evolving a chemical that causes pain to keep animals from eating it.
Humans: That's exquisite! Such culinary possibilities!
For shaanxi people, chilli oil is the taste of home, taste of childhood. Just like shaanxi culture itself, chilli oil looks so simple but has so much flavor. Always miss it.

Almost 400K subscribers, time for Blondie to make a summary video. Tell us how many cities have you been, and what are you plans next.
Her 1 million subscribers special celebration video is on her B site account. check it out! hehe.
you have tried so many Chinese food and travelled to so many Chinese cities, far more than me as a HK Chinese. Love to watch your videos!
Amy's chili consumption in a single day is simply astonishing!
omg, you are in my father's hometown!! I usually buy BAOBAO Mianpi in Taobao lol
You have such an infectious good happy attitude!! And the way you show and describe food in China makes me so hungry haha I went to the Asian supermarket and got a bunch of ingredients to make some (slightly less spicy) versions of these dishes! Like omg all the noodle dishes you show look like comfort in a bowl
You are so brave to try the chili dips, wow. And I love the phone case you got, want to have a one too!
Glad you visited my hometown! 西府老街has plenty of street food options you won’t regret to try!
Me toooo. Laoxiao haha
Love the new Title Graphics, Amy! They look so great! :)
Haha love how Amy is enjoying and handling the chili oil chinese food better than I am
Your videos are wonderful & bright & make me want to travel & eat adventurously! 💜
Oh my gosh Amy! You came to my hometown!!!
I could watch a thousand videos of yours in a row, such enjoyable content. Immensely sad that Germany is so timid regarding spices and different types of meat. Also, greetings to my fellow German Derk. Hope he is happy with his surgery.
Everything is amazing. The food, the music and many phrases for English learning.
For centuries, vegetarians in China have used the gluten as a meat substitute. It is nutritious as well as delicious.
You missed one of their most famous products, XiFeng Jiu (西凤酒)(West Phoenix Chinese Liquor)🤣. It's about 90% proof. Be funny to see you doing a drunken show😏
I never realized that WestPhoenix is from the “GemHen” city?
Yeah. The distiller is located in 凤翔区柳林镇, which is now part of BaoJi. For the longest time 凤翔县 was an independent county but it was rolled into Baoji recently. Most people don't know about 凤翔县@@davidw.2791
Yeah the distillery is located in FengXiang, and it used to be an independent county.@@davidw.2791
(I must have heard of Xifengjiu in the big CCTV channel commercials way back when without understanding the context)
@@davidw.2791The distillery is located in FengXiang District, which used to be an independent county. More people know about BaoJi than FengXiang.
I've always try to watch Amy's video whilst I'm eating because otherwise I'll be extremely hungry. So many amazing foods!
I'm very envious, from far away Sydney. Your food is making me anxious for some chili oil and toasted bun. 😟
Oh my goodness!! Douhua paomo has all of my favorite Chinese breakfast items in one dish. I’m moving to Baoji! 😂
This is so interesting! Thank you for introducing me to these kinds of local food that I have NEVER heard of, especially as a fan of Shaanxi cuisine!
OMG I love seeing my hometown dishes on YT, makes me hungry 😋
Coming from the South (HK SAR), I find the idea of savoury tofu pudding almost... sacrilegious. 🤣
Still, keen to give it a go.
And yeah, a lot of (usually smaller) shopping mall food courts are actually filled with small, privately owns shops, so don't be too surprised if you get good and cheap grub in those places!

same, tofu IMO should be sweet instead of savory, but yeah it will be interesting to try
Another quality contents from Amy...keep up the good works...

I would totally like all of that. I definitely use chili oil type things as a bread dip instead of butter or oil or other kind of spread.
This is my first time watching your video, i only watched your reels before. I reaallyy love how you describe your food, youre really passionate when you talk and im watching you talking and eating in awe 😍😍😍

There is a sentence on vehicle plates in Tasmania 👉 【Explore the possibilities】 and I think it's so appropriate for your channel.
I love watching your adventures!!!!!
I haven’t back home for four years since pandemic. Thanks for being me back home virtually
Watching from Sydney and I just can’t stop thinking of that chilly oil, which reminds me of the one I got on top of my Lanzhou beef noodle soup but could be something different 😂
Wow that chili oil sandwich looks delicious, but it could be too much a flame to me. I would try the maipi sandwich. :) Thanks for sharing once again a good video. 👍👍
Love that dough on dough action!
The white T-shirt made my day xd
Amy , you have been many provinces but Shandong you only went to Qingdao 😢 when! when will you start your tour in Shandong!??! And almost 400K follower now!!!!
I love your cute simple hairstyle, I’ve been trying to do these hair stick styles but they never stay, any tips? Hahah
My hometown!🎉
Lol, Amy opening is the same as my question when looking at the thumbnail. I think Amy should prepare a raincoat for these kind of occasions
I hope you can come to nansha district in Guangzhou city and I am glad to show you some authentic and local countryside’s food 😊😊😊😊😊
not sure why you're doubting that food court food can slap. It can absolutely SLAP
Slap is for music, SMACK is for food (like smacking ur lips) 💗
In China (or most of Asia in general), definitely, in most other parts of the world, not at all lol. Food court food in my country is blasphemous
Food courts my country are overpriced and shit quality
Food courts in Australia are horrible and overpriced.
@@PeterKontogeorgis Same in China most of the time
Hi,Amy, recommend you go to 阜阳 and try some traditional 阜阳卷馍，菜馍，水煎包，烧饼，太和板面，etc
I envy you that you get to be in so many places in China and try so many good food.
Chilli oil goes with everything 🌶️
amy how's your skin so perfect even tho you eat a lot of oily food? please drop your skincare routine my skin here in china is suffering 😭
Separating the starch and the gluten is how people make ‘seitan’ I think! And people use the gluten for a meat substitute which is why it felt like chicken to you! How cool, I didn’t realize it was its own dish in China already!

Amy describes foods precisely mixing English and real Chinese, which I find the best among all the food bloggers. But probably only people with understanding of both languages would appreciate fully!
Very good experience.
You just reminded me of the liangpi place near my work in Melbourne CBD. I overdosed on it a couple of years ago but I need to go back asap!
Is that chili oil like chili crisp? Looks Amaze-balls....🙌🏼
Just found you a few days ago and binge watched all ur vids from 24 to 20 lol absolutely love it keep up the good work
Love your description of food to the point I can almost taste them, BRAVO!
I love the new animations, very cute
Great video! That take away chili out looks sketchy in that container, there is no containing that stuff!
Over 13 minutes of delicious food 🤤 but why did it go by in the blink of an eye?
Amy, I cannot express how much I look forward to your food adventures and adventures; I'm saving so many for future reference because I really, really need to leave the comfort of my apartment in Ontario 🇨🇦 and finally get to China, though 43 later than planned.
We are planning multiple trips there as well starting either this or next years. From SW ON here.
So energetic girl!) She is a star!
Thank you, that's amazing! Have fun!
Keep eating, we will keep watching, ❤
Oh my god. I love this! It is my hometown and all my favorite dishes!

Authentic and spot on，油泼辣子的核心是香，有油泼辣子其他辣酱不看，四川是麻，贵州是辣吧
Gluten is used to make vegetarian chicken.
I have honestly found that as much as I love the street food spots, I’ve had some AMAZING meals in those massive mall food courts
Can’t beat the variety you get either lol - on a hot ass summer day in Bangkok going to the mall for some shopping and eating - can’t beat that shit!
You have become soooo good at this : )
How to spell chillicious - is this close ?
Thanks
Can't believe you go to where I dreamed to visit !
Your spice tolerance are beyond awesome girl 😅
Amy ! you should come to Taizhou to make a episode, which is the hometown of XIN RONG JI新荣记，the first ever Michelin 3 star Chinese cuisine restaurant in China, which is also my hometown. a fan from Melbourne. gonna be fun
So fun to watch!
My mouth watering watching this video!
Another Chinese foodie city to add to my bucket list.
now i wanna go to baoji too ..... despite its name -- why is a city called treasure-chicken? O_o
I imagine wanting coriander and green onions with the gan mianpi. I like the chili flavors, but would want the herbs to balance that out a bit.
you should def go to Luoyang in March or April to see the peonies, food is great as well!!
艾米, 这次是第一次看你写汉字。 另外你吃好像小孩子， 好可爱呢😄 我是华裔泰国人。 四月从十二日到十五日是宋干节，欢迎来泰国来旅游。
看得让人流口水。。
noticed there were pickled vegies on the table, they would be perfect to go with the chili oil
I always put chilli oil and crisps in my sandwiches, so seeing the oil run down your fingers was very reassuring because for a while now I've being asking: "How can I stop this? This cannot be normal!" Needless to say, I go through a few paper towels at sandwich time.
omg, it looks soooooooo good! Amy, you literally show how yummy it is. 😍😍😍
I love Gan Mianpi! I tried to make it as well once. It came out ok. Harder than it looks!
In certain shots you looked like a beautiful vampire, red chili oil running down your mouth 😂❤Great video, thank you Amy❤
Another great food adventure amy!!
