  • After years of experimentation, I think I’ve come up with the best Chop Suey Recipe, and in this video, I’m going to show you all my tricks. With tender strips of marinated pork with a rainbow medley of crisp, vibrant veggies, this quick stir-fry comes together from a handful of pantry staples in about 15 minutes. I’ve included a bunch of techniques to help you with everything, from chopping the vegetables to making the sauce and getting that wok-charred flavor in a regular frying pan. The best part about this Chop Suey is that it’s super flexible, and you can even make it vegan friendly with a few plant-based substitutions.

    You’ve mentioned cutting ginger against the grain several times, but I do not know how to tell which way the grain runs in a ginger root. Do you need the peel to tell you, or is it something in the flesh? I apologize, but I’ve never heard of this before. It is easy to see the direction muscle fibers are laying when I prepare meat, but ginger is a very different thing. Thanks for any help you can give.
    I’m stuck recuperating from surgery in the hospital for a bit, so I’ve been watching all of your videos in order. It’s been fun to see how you’ve grown your channel and content over time. I cannot imagine how much time, effort, and talent you’ve needed to make No Recipes such a success, but I’m very grateful you stuck with it, as I’m a much better cook as a result. So thank you very much!

      Thank you so much for your kind words, and I hope your recovery goes smoothly!
      Regarding ginger, it has fibers running through it (similar to a lot of root vegetables). The fibers run from end to end, so if you cut ginger crosswise (as opposed to lengthwise) you should be cutting against the grain. You can't really see the grain when the peel is still on, but once you've peeled it, you should be ale to see it. You should also be able to to feel it when you cut it with a knife (you'll encounter more resistance cutting against the grain than with it). The reason for cutting it this way is so you don't end up up with a wad of ginger fiber in your mouth (particularly when julienning ginger) when you eat it. I hope that helps?

      @@NoRecipes Thanks, that makes perfect sense. It’s always fun to learn something new, so from now on, my ginger is going to be cut against the grain. I most definitely haven’t always done this correctly, because every now and then a family member would complain about a tough wad of ginger fibers in their food. I’d always deny its existence, of course, but now I know they were right, lol.

    • @NoRecipes

      @@pinkmonkeybird2644 It's also worth noting that ginger branches out so the direction of the fibers will change with the direction of the branches. If you think of the ginger like a tree, and the thick part as the trunk, the fibers run up and down in the trunk, but as you go out to the branches, the fibers, will go from side to side (from the base of the branch to the tip). That's why I usually cut the knobs (branches) of ginger off before chopping it.

    Okay now question, where do you find orange eggs? Even free range organic ones at the supermarket I cannot find these deeply colored and delicous eggs I eat at ramen shops and see in recipe videos.

    • @NoRecipes
      @NoRecipes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Brianna! It's always good to hear that my efforts don't go unnoticed 😁 Regarding the eggs, I'm based in Japan, and most of eggs here are that color. It's a result of the chickens being fed a diet high in beta-carotene (usually in the form of chili peppers). Although they are nutritionally better, blind taste testing has shown that the color of yolks doesn't actually make a difference in the taste of the egg. That being said you things that look better also tend to taste better to us, so there's definitely some value in the color. I'm not sure where you are located, but in the US, there are a few brands that have good colored yolks. There's a farm in California that sells "Jidori Eggs" and I've seen them in Japanese markets around the country. Also, Eggland's Best eggs have a decent color yolk and they're available almost everywhere.

    I love watching chefs slice vegetables! I have a dumb question. Do you always have to peel the ginger? Since I put it a lot in vegetables, I thought you probably cannot feel the skin. I just use a brush to clean the ginger root really well.

    • @NoRecipes
      @NoRecipes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not a dumb question at all. Fresh ginger (wet, translucent skin) has very thin skin so I don't usually peel it, but the skin on ginger that's been cured (dry and silvery looking) can be a little papery, so I usually peel it. The best way to peel is to use a spoon so you can get into all the nooks and crannies without loosing a bunch of ginger with the peel. That being said, if the skin doesn't bother you then there's no reason to change what you're doing.

    Dear friend,
    I greatly liked your techniques.
    Here is another challenge for you, The Magic Bowl (Le Bol Renversé).
    The Chinese that came to Mauritius Island created this recipe.
    In a bowl put a poached egg, the shinny side down.
    Then put a chopsuey with the following ingredients: chicken, prawns, bell peppers, bak choy, baby corns, carrots, mushrooms, onions and so on. The secret is the sauce, it should neither be too thick nor sticky.
    Afterwards add a heap of cooked rice in the bowl and cover it with a plate.
    Overturn the plate together with the bowl.
    Gently remove the bowl and you will feel the magic instant.
    So, I hope that you will successfully prepare the Magic Bowl and upload a video.
    Cordially,
    Mortician
