This is the video that all Chinese kids watching their parents cook needed. Explaining rather than being told “just watch and learn / this is just how it’s done”.
Well said! Now, I can watch and make this delicious dish without feeling intimidated.
In addition to encyclopedic cooking knowledge, Mr. Sin understands what people don't understand about cooking. He is an extraordinary teacher.
this guy literally explains everything in english that chinese people cant explain lol its really hard to explain these methods from chinese to english .why you need 2nd or 3rd generation like Sin. hes truly a great ambassador for hong kong food and cooking. cantonese cooking is dying out in america/canada. it cant keep up anymore cause due to the hard labour behind it and the long long hours. inflation also destorying the true art of cantonese cooking. just like how some dont respect italian cooking. chinese and italian food were the most dominate in late 80s 90s
Lucas is one of the greatest chef educators of our generation
Ha! I just made the comment that he is the Martin Yan and Ming Tsai for this generation representing Chinese cuisine
Truth
I can listen to Lucas talk all day
I appreciate the down to business attitude and not wasting my life with a crazy voice and unrelated material and shameless promotion. THIS is HOW it's done!! 😊😊❤🎉👍👏😍thank you for posting!!!
I’m Muslim and don’t eat pork. But why am I watching this video? Because Lucas is the GOATTTT. I’ll watch anything he’s in because I learn so much from him🤩
Just use lamb chops
I don’t eat meat and yet I’m here too haha
Change pork out for chicken bro.
the power of lucas sin!
I always tell my Muslim friends that they can use beef instead. No harm, no foul.
Lucas Sin the the Martin Yan and Ming Tsai of the current generation for Chinese cuisine.
This is how cooking shows should be. Having the history and fun facts of the dish as well as cooking tips and tricks
Lucas has definitely become my favorite. There is so much good, useful information in all his videos!
Great stuff! Lucas continues to be my favourite food presenter. Would love to hopefully see a video from Lucas on baked pork chop rices (just so that I can copy his take on it) haha
Yes please. Baked pork chop rice!
I ❤ my boo, Lucas. 😍🥰🔥 Each recipe-video exudes his pride for his culture and his passion for food. Also, his technique and explanation are off the chart. 👏🏾💯
His teaching of the history of food makes it intriguing. I can confidently say I can try to make this recipe. Looks delish. 😋
Lucas explains things SOOOOO friggin well. I learn so much from him and how he tells us why each ingredient is useful and what to use if you don't have a particular ingredient. The butchering episode with the chinatown butcher was INCREDIBLY informative and helpful.
I feel the same, I will watch anything
Chef Sin is in because he is humbly educational. Explains in great detail and love the pride in Asian cultures. It’s refreshing because finally some one actually knows what their talking about.😊😊😊😊😊 I love it. I never want him to stop teaching and cooking. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is not only for workers but it also reminds me what I used to eat at least once a week when I was studying in secondary school.
It is so great to find you only TH-cam showing people how to cook these local dishes. Thank You.
Lucas videos cannot stop. Ever
Admittedly, I am not a fan of this dish, but I am here to learn from Lucas. Thanks for bringing your love for Hong Kong Cantonese cooking to the masses.
Lucas, in Indonesia we wrap our meat in papaya leaves before we cook it to tenderize them 😊
Lucas should make a video about how to make the HK style baked pork chop rice with the tomato sauce. It is a traditional dish of hong kong.
My god I love Chef Lucas so much
Love watching him and the dishes he cooks!
Thank you chef 😁
I have been waiting for the longest time for this classic pork chop dish!
Love following you demo cooking!
Love the Lucas series
I'm brother of a pig, that was fried in this video. But why am I watching this video? Because Lucas is the GOATT. I'll watch anything he's in because I learn so much from him!
No Lucas, welcome back to the Food 52 kitchen. Always a pleasure to see more content from you! ❤
His explanation and knowledge is just so seamless. Also I know he said no garnish but I need my herbs 😂
As a brit I LOVE hearing an American nailing the pronunciation of Worcestershire - nice one!
Woah, Amazing amount of cooking tips, thanks !
That was a very informative video. Loved how each ingredient was explained.
Cooked this today as I had all the ingredients. Incredible and fairly simple!
explain and cooking are so easy to understand no fancy thing the best
I wish you could post every day!
Very nice. Tks.
The man can cook! Love the way he educates while making delicious cross cultural delicacies…
You are absolutely amazing. ❤
My mom used to make this all the time. Still one of my all time favorite meals
Hey mannnnn. Love Lucas cooking videos.
literally hate pork chops but i'll always watch lucas bc he taught how to make the best scrambled eggs❤
Wow. Happy this popped up on my feed. Great teacher and chef.
Yes, Lucas!
Lucas is the cooking boss!
Great to see Lucas sharing my favourite dish!!!!! definitely opened up to more knowledge for Canton Chinese cooking.
I watched my parents cook using their own imagination without formal, printed recipes... . and have always wondered about 'cause and effect' of different ingredients. Well done !
Right on Brother thanks alot I love to cook especially Asian food it works out good for my Alaska lifestyle you can have a good meal all the time with dried rice and beans thanks again see ya 😊
Towards the end I was thinking "If only there is a fried egg to go with this" and then Lucas immediately asked for more money. Dang!
So papain is similar to bromelain in pineapples. Cool!!
First video I've seen of this channel and I'll definitely continue to watch more. I love watching passionate chefs teach me something while being engaging and open. I'm going to have to watch a lot more Lucas now!
thank you so much! i cook and am cantonese and thank you again that you speak the language
More Lucas Sin please!!
Nice😮
You are such a great advocate for all of your culture
Best ❤️🔥
Lucas is really a down-to-earth culinary influencer
Had no idea one could tenderize with papaya, cool!
He is literally speaking three languages in this tutorial!
Good video.
I never would have thought they use Washyoursister sauce in a Hong Kong dish.
Shanghai style (the “spicy soy sauce”) is quite different from western style. As a Chinese-American who grew up on the former, experiencing the latter (and learning it’s what most people here mean) was an interesting experience. The Shanghai style can be used straight as a dipping sauce, it’s wonderful with fried foods like spring rolls, and also with pork or veggie steamed buns.
@@katl8825 Oh that's interesting, in HK the Worcestershire sauce is very similar to the British version. In fact though a few local brands make it British brands like Lea & Perrins are quite common. Didn't know it was different in Shanghai!
Lucas Sin is literally carrying this whole channel
usually don’t watch long videos of recipes but you were very good and I finished the entire video i’m trying to learn Asian cooking sick of cheese. I have The correct pork chops. defrosting. Have all the ingredients I’m going for it.
Yes some very appropriate pork chops
Does Lucas have a cookbook yet?
Lucas Sin, my man.
Absolutely perfect pronunciation of ‘Worcestershire’ 👍🏾🇬🇧
Thought u said "Gonna plate it like a *Porkman* blue collar lunch"😂😂 Thanks for the great video:)
I am Shanghainese, and I can confirm Lucas is right on the 'spicy soy sauce' part! Damn good research！
I usually dry the chops with a paper towel before marinating. And use egg white to tenderize meat.
Yum
What about ginger juice? I use all the time to tenderise pork meat before stir frying
Like you teaching the Cantonese names as well thanks 😊
I think Adolph’s meat tenderizer was made of papain.
Chef can we use pineapple for the same tenderizing?
It reminds me of Mandarin Steak Fillets.
Fun/pedantic fact: fond doesn't refer to the brown bits, it refers to the sauce made from deglazing the brown bits. Best to just call them brown bits in English.
Can you make curry beef tendon next? Thanks!
Nothing like HK diner breakfasts
if you want to use baking soda, DO NOT sprinkle as the powder may concentrate on some area making the taste quite strong.. dissolve the powder in water so it will spread evenly.....
only put oil in on the last step of the marinate as oil locks up the meat to prevent anything going in and out.... so if oil goes in from start, the meat will not absorb all the marinate flavours and reaction from baking soda etc.....
Always pay extra for the fried egg 🍳
What is better about potato starch? I just want to know, if I can get some from the Chinese Market.
That chopsticks feels like a safety hazad even though it's probably fine lol
I refer to Worcestershire sauce is "gweilo soy-sauce" 🤣
It's an apt description lol
@@wahn10 鬼佬豉油... just rolls off the tongue in Cantonese 🤣
It’s more like fish sauce lemon chicken
Hi Lucas,
This recipe just tickkles my taste buds! I will definitely try to reproduce it very soon.
During the video you mention that French people call the grilled bits at the bottom of the pan as "fond"! This is incorrect, it's called "suc"!
A "fond" in French cuisine, is a reduction of veg/meat/bones with liquid. Similar to a stock.
Nonetheless, whatever the language, the result is in the taste! I'm sure I'll be licking my fingers clean after eating this dish....
Look forward to seeing more of your recipes
What is Lucas full name? Love his cooking!!
lucas sin
No garlic? I would probably microplane some garlic into the marinade and add MSG), aside from this. Perfection
Lucas. You gotta explain why the oil has to be shimmering or smoking to start cooking the meat
Uhh, I learned about velveting, then I westernized it to where I made an aggressively apple-oriented pork bit velveting mix consisting of baking powder, black pepper, apple juice, apple vinegar and corn starch, fried those up with some apples and made an apple sauce, I would probably serve such a meal with gratinated potatoes, honestly... But that time, I just served it with rice.
Does anyone know where to find that cutting board? I want one!
2:35 Marinating
See lucas, click
I’m here for the eloquence.
Tip: You can get raw papaya to get over the sweet taste
Yes!!! We call W sauce spicy soy sauce. Omg 😭
Wonderful! Would okonomiyaki sauce work?
Okonomiyaki sauce is a combo of oyster sauce, ketchup, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Should get you in the ball park.
@@sujitd Thanks, it seems several of the ingredients are the same.
you could add some garlic
Do Chinese restaurants spend that much time tenderizing the pork by hand? Seems like prep would take forever.
Need more sauce though
It blows my mind how baking soda as a meat tenderizer isn't common knowledge yet.
Everyone has baking soda, and everyone needs to tenderize meat. And yet most American home cooks have no idea of this hack.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I feel like we need to talk more about how fine this man is.
You need to have better camera shots. We don't really see the food cooking, which is better than just hearing you telling us about what you are seeing.
