A basic Chinese dinner meal usually comes with a meat main dish, a soup, and a vegetable side dish (一荤一素一汤). Then served with white rice. Of course, the standard can change depending on the servings, if it is a big event like a wedding, usually, there will be 12-18 dishes on each table. If you just cook for yourself, you can minimize it to one recipe. Today's video is an example to show you how to prepare a proper Chinese dinner meal. I will talk about the culture behind it and why we make it this way. Hope you enjoy it!

The short-cuts alone make this one a keeper.
I would love if sometime you did a "what I usually eat in a day" type video. It'd be nice to see how you normally eat when you aren't filming recipes - your food always looks so good!
Great idea!!!
I'll second that! I would love to have a day in life for food. It would be fine if she was buying things or cooking or a combination. It would just be interesting
@Souped Up Recipes, Oh my god Mandy the chicken stir fry recipe is AMAZING! It's like a healthier version of panda express and I haven't eaten that stuff in over a decade. This is my 3rd time making it and cant get enough and will be making more. You are the goddess thank you!!!
i test some recipe .. looks good.. taste marvellous !
how bout just thank you
This is a great idea! So few videos and channels talk about a whole meal. Perfect!
Yes you are right
It's really nice seeing how you make a full Chinese meal. It looks delicious and healthy. Please make more Chinese meal videos like this. It's nice to see how you pair different recipes together and how you manage your time while cooking :)
Let's go, Brandon!
Mandy, you were born to teach! I'm so glad you share your gift with the world.
Someone needs to Amazon Wishlist her a rice cooker!
she is
Its so wonderful to see Chinese cooking in a less dish-focused fashion and more in the larger sense of the full meal and by extension giving a greater understanding of the food culture in general. There is not one single part of this meal that was not appealing in its own right. Thank you for continuing to make these videos and thank you for making me hungry after I have already had dinner. :)
Your videos are better than most cooking shows on TV. I learn so much from you.
you are sooooo right
For anyone who was wondering. The type of Lao Gan Ma she used was the fermented black bean version.
I loved every minute of this video!
would love to see this as a series with meals for more than 4 persons or different occasions!!
Will make a new year occasion soon =)
Very well done. Fast, organized, and clean. I'm drooling.
Well, that was fun! I really appreciate the explanations and cultural references. I love bean sprouts.
I think the main reason I love Chinese food culture is due to the high vegetable ratios and the use of garlic, ginger, chili plus all the fresh herbs and dried spices, which are all foods I love. Also very little dairy products which do not agree with me. I grew up in a house with no dessert so I can relate to that as well. I had no idea it was something people ate every night and when I got married my husband had to get use to not having any very quickly, lol! Thank so much for all the hard work that went into this one.
I love Chinese food too .. I did a big China trip years ago. I loved the food sooo much even though communicating with waiters was sometimes very difficult. Much of it was a surprise - like Crispy chicken using lots of bones with little meat on it. I loved the idea to use all of the animal but it was difficult to eat for me. I would love to go back after the years .. not in these times I guess 😢
Modern western diets contain way more meat, dairy and sugar than is healthy, which has caused a significant rise in obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc. Chinese cuisine isn't quite ideal either but it's at least much better. I'm vegan so I can't use most of these recipes directly, I'm mostly here to get a better understanding for how the chinese "flavour world" works in order to be able to adapt it into my cooking skillset, as currently the only chinese dishes I feel comfortable with are mapo tofu and some stir frys.
@@fdagpigj Late to the talk. But if you can tolerant soy, most of Chinese dishes' meat component can be replaced with either dried / smoke tofu which is much more condensed and firm than the extra-firm white tofu, plus it have much more protein rivaling some meats. This make them ideal for stir fry or barbecue. If soy is a problem, then King Oyster Mushroom slices also works well.
Having vegetables accompany meat is something that drew my interest to Chinese cooking. Its nice when you can get their flavors to mix, or they share an aromatic flavor like garlic.
you are right, most easy dish in china will be any vegi stir fried with meat if you don't have a lot time to prepare
I'd love a cookbook divided into sections for each dinner element: soup, protein, vegetable etc. Perhaps even breakfast options. This is a fantastic video 🙏🏽
that will be fantastic
You don’t know how grateful I am to you sharing so generously.
I used to work in a Chinese takeaway but I got to enjoy authentic Chinese food at the hands of my lovely employers.
My son is also half Chinese but because of dietary choices we don’t eat out in Chinese restaurants
Because of your recipes which FYI have always succeeded (they are wonderful) it brings such happiness to be able to learn, cook, eat and enjoy the food that brings so many happy memories
And my son can experience food from the other half of him 💕
Wow! This is perfect for treating 3 to 4 friends at home. The recipes are quite simple and easy to make but definitely fantastic and surely delicious. Thank you Mandy. 👍👏❤️
This was so good! I always struggle with figuring out how to make a whole Chinese dinner. I'd love to see more videos like this in the future c:
Very few people does these kind of video, it's harder to make all dishes at the same time
You are a great chef. I always get hungry watching your videos. Great job!
Definitely trying each of these for a complete dinner with guests over. Nobody shows authentic Chinese cooking like Mandy. Everything I make using her guidance turns out superb.
As a chinese foods lover, i can tell that these foods are truly taste amazing!😋😋 Chinese cooking is definitely my preference for my daily cooking. Simple and easy👌👌👍👍
Pro tip for ginger; it’s so much easier to get it cut fine if you just throw your ginger knobs in the freezer and then use a cheese grater to grate it. Finally minced ginger in a fraction of the time!
These look absolutely delicious though. Been meaning to try traditional Chinese food. As much as I love takeout, went to an authentic Chinese place with one of my best friends in college who is first generation Chinese-American and was super satisfied, so much more variety and balance in flavor than the simple sweet, sour, salty palette of most takeout places.
I like this concept of 3 dishes of lunch/dinner set. It is very helpful as there are times we will be cracking our heads to prepare lunch/dinner for family. I hope Mandy will have more this type of videos. Thank you in advance 😊
Wonderful video! Please post more videos about complete meals. It's something many Westerners never see.
These full meal videos are my absolute favorites
Thank you so much Mandy!Can't wait to cook this!
Just got your Wok delivered this morning ! Seasonned it twice and used it for a peanut fried rice, it's AMAZING ! Can't wait for it to improve use after use, but i'm already in love !!
You will be astonished how much it improves after every single use! And it starts out pretty amazing already! But after about 5-6 uses it becomes magical and I kid you not! :D So easy to clean and so non-stick that I was really suspicious before I got used to it! The wok is so fantastic I'm going to buy like 10 of them and give them as gifts to people I love! :) Thank you, Mandy! And have fun, Clement!
@@Arthiel7 AND they ship in Europe :D I know I sound like i'm held at gunpoint to do an AD but not kidding, i'm really happy with my purchase !!
How about the wok now? I am going to buy one
@@-laodoushunancuisine4641 i've been using it everyday, sometimes twice a day, the texture looks a bit more rough (meaning the color is different in the middle of the wok, where the food usually gather and the metal spatula scrapes) but it's normal, and the non-stick .. well let me tell you about the non-stick : it's amazing, even if I don't use oil I can cook anything and it doesn't stick to it ! Everything just slides, I can cook chicken, veggies, seafood, tofu and let it brown and crust up wonderfully and it's never stuck to the bottom. It was a little bit the first uses, but if you clean it successfully and season it after uses, it works WONDERS ! Not disappointed at all.
@@clement9782 thanks for your comments 🙏 , u make me more confidence to buy it. Cheers
Mandy, what great recipes to add to my “to make” list. Yummy. I need to make these foods soon. Thank you again!
This is a very tasty, wholesome, healthy and well balanced meal with all macro and micronutrients. It is better for Chinese people to keep the tradition adding plenty of greens. I will give a try to add pea leaves to the soup. That looks appetizing. thank you for the idea.
the 8 hours broth is most likely in guangdong province, most of other province just do this easy soup - vegi + egg/meat soup
This looks so good, it's making me so hungry.
Happy 1Million subscribers Mandy!!🎉 Always a great help in cooking!👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I bought this wok a few weeks ago and use it a few times a week. The process to remove the paraffin takes way more time than the instructions say. It took well over 20 minutes for me to remove it. It took about a week and a half to get the side to be consistently non-stick, not too bad. Now it's easy to clean, just clean with a little a water, dry and then season with a little oil. I'm really happy with the wok.
I enjoyed this very much! The food, conversation, and the history of family meal time was informative and the food looked absolutely delicious! Gale Flowers 🌸
This video was perfect in every way! The filming, the speed in which you prepared the food and explained everything.
This looks delicious 🤤 I could eat bean sprouts every day! Thank you for not only sharing your recipes, but for teaching us about Chinese culture 🥰🇨🇦
Another informative video Mandy. I received my beautiful Phoenix chopsticks 🥢 today, ordered Sunday! Can’t wait to use them. Cheers! 🍜🥟 🍚 🇨🇦
Thank you for the purchase and support. I hope you and your family enjoy using these chopsticks. If you could kindly leave an honest review on Amazon, I will appreciate that. We are a small business, the review will help us to build the reputation =)
I'm definitely going to have to try these!! Thank you so much for sharing your tips!!!
I love this Mandy, great idea ❤️❤️ gonna try these style to save time..always looking ways to cut time when cooking…
I was heartened to see no scale. I want recipes for every day. We are soup people as well. Soup makes your budget stretch.
Mandy, your mixture of knowledge, talent, flair and humility is so amazing to witness, it feels like we are being given more from you than we deserve! The addition of your shared knowledge is the gift of a sage to treasure in our lives. Thanking you is minute in comparison!
Mindy, looks all delish. I can just about taste it. Thank you.
Lovely content Mandy. You never cease to amaze me
Wow this video helps a lot to prepare a quick meal for a family . Looking forward to this kind of video in the future. Thank you Mandy

Great one. Shows how simple a full meal can be. Awesome short cuts too.

Thank you for this lesson. I love your channel!
I like that the dishes are loaded with vegetables alongside the meats. That makes it a lot healthier and more nutritional.
I really appreciate this video! Please make more of these! I think it's awesome to learn more about how whole meals are put together in your cuisine! Thank you! Can't wait to make that soup!
YES! This looks wonderful!
I really do enjoy your channel and have made SEVERAL of the dishes.

Thank you.
You are one of the best presenters on the Internet, so cheerful and so informative without anything unnecessary. I bought one of your woks and I love it! Thanks for all of your great recipes!
Chinese cuisine is my favorite. I’ve made so many of your dishes already, Mandy. I like that you connect Chinese food with its culture and traditions in your videos.
I love the little food facts she gave around 13-14 minutes in.
Little food culture facts like that has always been interesting to me.
Have been watching your videos for a while and it was finally time to subscribe! As an amateur Chinese cook I often struggle with designing a cohesive meal menu. More videos like this, please!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Love this! We need more traditional dinners, healthy options :)
i loooove this kind of video to make a real menu ! hope this will be a serie ! thankx for your work !
My wife is Chinese and appreciates when I cook Chinese meals. Your website is FULL of recipes and I am so excited to make tons of new meals! Thank you so much ~

Thanks.for all the helpful tips and this wonderful meal recipe.
I love your channel and have been watching you cook for years, I love trying out the dishes in my kitchen and have enjoyed it so much, this is my first time commenting on your video I think, and I just want to say thank you for your videos. You are such a good teacher, thank you❤️
Thank you for always watching and hope you continue to enjoy my videos =)
This is a great video. I love the simplicity of these dishes, and they all look so good. Also, she explains everything so well you can’t go wrong.
One of the real gifts that she has is her ability to take on more complicated dishes and break them down in a way that you can get through them. I have seen a lot of chefs stumble in that ability.
I love this video!! I hope you will make more full dinner videos, it’s so helpful!
Oh I try this recipe it was absolutely delicious thank you so much please keep them coming
Thank you!
This was a very good way to learn how to make chinese food ! Very well done video.🤩
Your channel has inspired so much of my home cooking that I can't thank you enough! Thank you!

Loved loved loved this video, Mandy!
Love these type of meals, very inspiring!
Thanks for the timing in making the dinner. Now to try. The bean sprout look very interesting.
I really liked this whole meal style of video and the information about Chinese home cooking culture
Exactly what i was looking for a full meal menu thanks its nice to know what goes with what
If you don’t get hungry after watching her videos I think you must have eaten a full dinner already or that you are a rock. 😋🤗
Beautifully presented! I cannot wait to try these! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this. Great idea.
Chinese-style albondigas! These homestyle tips are amazing Mandy!
LOVE your channel! So happy to discover it. Thank you so much for sharing beautiful recipes!
I really appreciate your ingredients substitute recommendations, since a lot of things are not sold in the country I live in :)
You make me fall in love with Chinese cuisine even more ❤
Mandy, this was so interesting! I subscribe to many cooking channels of cuisines all over the world, and very few cooking channels ever present an entire meal. (And in fact, many times I've therefore found myself wondering what goes with what, traditionally, anyway.) And, of course, the food looks so good! I love your little tips you give us - such as don't cook the meatballs in boiling water or the texture will be wrong, hold the semi-frozen chicken firmly because it is slippery, you don't have to take off the root of the bean sprout because it's edible, etc. You anticipate our thoughts and questions and explain things so well.
I would love, love, love to see more whole meal presentations. Well done as always, Mandy. You're such a gem!
This was awesome thank you!
Thank you for this! Looks delicious and also an educational insight into Chinese cuisine on a normal day
Super awesome! Thank you!
hi..you made this so easy to understand ..thanks
I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm in London, UK and I've struggled to find easy straight forward information on these types of dishes. I'm familiar with them from China Town restaurants, but have never understood how to make them properly.
Amazing thanks again Mandy
This was great. Thank you very much.
Wow!! awesome presentation & excellent preparation 😍❤ looks delicious 😍❤stay connected😍😍Thanks for sharing ❤❤
Thanks mandy I'm going to try your Chinese meal at home x
