Seeing the duck reminds me of my local farmers market when a local BBQ shack had a single half-rotisserie chicken left. I dunno what they marinated it in but it looked just like that duck and was absolutely succulent.
Oh, this is probably prior to Ractopamine pork. A chemical that is banned in 160 countries. "Ractopamine was approved by the FDA for use in swine in 1999 with the claims of increased rate of weight gain, improved feed efficiency, and increased carcass leanness in finishing swine fed a complete ration containing at least 16% crude protein from 150 to 240 lb body weight."
His mother probably had heard of Worcestershire sauce. It was and still is very popular in both Hong Kong and, especially, Shanghai where it is still made to this day. The pork chop is more likely to have been what she didn't know. It isn't chopstick friendly.
@thatoneguy You are welcome. By the way 'gweilo' is Cantonese, a language spoken by fewer than 5% of the people in China. It is also somewhat offensive. I'm not sure you really understand what 'mansplaining' is, either.
@@kqed Yes, I do enjoy it. Thank you so much. I don't know him, but took a brief recherche. He is part of American, Canadian and Vietnamese Television culture in the 80s. So of course i didn't know who he is. Greetings from Germany.
He doesn't clean with soap and water after the pork chops. Then cuts onions to garnish. Only wipes his knife off with dry dish towel. That distracted me from everything else.

The amount of times Chef Yan has said “Darn Thing” throughout the course of his career is immeasurable
"Marvelous" was also a big part of the Yan lexicon during these years.
Martin Yan, what a pioneer and a phenom. True talent ahead of his time. Thanks for uploading.

Never knew this channel had a TH-cam channel.

This was the extent of ethnic cooking, back in the day. Frugal Gourmet, and that Cajun Guy.

That Duck looked good tho, even though it was from the 80s before I was born.

@@liuzhou Well said! Another clown who thinks being of a Chinese ethnicity makes them an expert on all things Chinese.
@@kenfletcher1240 next time cover up your self-righteous schizophrenic tracks by not having the exact same playlists on both of your accounts, clown.

This says pork not duck
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Are the 80s back? What happend?
Apparently, an era where cross contamination wasn't an issue. He would have never gotten a Safe Serve certificate!
We're releasing episodes of Yan Can Cook from the archives for the first time and making them available to the public. Hope you enjoy them.

@@kqed enjoy, more than you know!!!!
huh?
Are the audience made up of real people?
yes sometimes they make them help cook

That’s a good point he doesn’t do that.
I noticed that too. But I hope the tools were thoroughly cleaned just it wasn't shown on TV because he has assistants to clean up for him off camera.
Uhhh this was in the early 80s before the world was pussified.
He's alive. Guess he handled it fine.
if it was really an issue a lot of people would have gotten sick from the food already
can you teach me this?
