  • Steak salad is delicious and a great choice for a wide range of diets (including keto) and Martin's Thai beef salad (1:00) rendition is especially flavorful. Next Martin fires up the wok to make Mongolian barbecue (8:00), both Mongolian chicken and Mongolian beef. Martin takes a break from the studio to bring viewers along on a trip to visit the outdoor festival market in Singapore (14:22). The episode wraps up (pun intended) with a Chinese-influenced spicy chicken fajita (16:22).
    Yan Can Cook, Season 5, Episode 16.

    About Yan Can Cook:
    After receiving his formal restaurant training in Hong Kong, Chef Martin Yan immigrated to Calgary, Canada where he was asked to appear in a daytime news program to demonstrate Chinese cooking. The rest, as they say, is television history. In 1978, he launched the groundbreaking Chinese cooking series 'Yan Can Cook' on public television. Infused with Martin's signature humor and energy, Yan Can Cook has gone on to become a global phenomenon and has won multiple James Beard Awards.

      He got nasty with his audience (in a college setting), when he didn't think that they showed enough appreciation for his rapid chicken de-boning, and when he had an issue with the cameraman, he claimed that when he had his show, he had five cameras working. There IS such a thing as a "had-been".

    The first time I was introduced to Mongolian BBQ, 1994. my first year living in Hawaii, and I was on my first Naval duty station. The Galley (cafeteria) had a different type of menu daily. Always on a schedule, food was ok. except on Mongolian Wednesdays, when the line would be putside the door. EVERYONE wanted to eat on those days. The chefs, who were all fillipino, had it set up the same way, one station for proteins, one station for veggies, one station for sauces. and you picked rice or noodles. Me being only 18 years old, this was unconventional and exciting to me, and the end result was unbelievable. On days when I had extra time for lunch, I always went back for seconds. To this day, i consider that my inspiration to be the best chef for Asian food I can be.
