    Adam is the goat for teaching cooking. His series' go over WHY the ingredients are chosen and what they're actually contributing to the overall recipe. Knowing that, you get more confident to swap ingredients and play with flavors since you understand the dish at a deeper level.

There should be a label for the different genres of cooking video: “How to cook” and “Why we cook with these ingredients” kinda thing.

You are being taught what each ingredient's use is so that you can substitute and omit as needed for your own iteration. Just aping their ingredient choice is not going to give you much information at all. If you're "starving and hungry", you shouldn't be looking up how to cook a dish, especially one you've never cooked before, and instead get something simple and light into you to offset the hunger pangs while you cook, and next time cook a fulfilling meal before you get to that stage.

    i love Adam Liaw, his voice is so sooth, and his cooking is very close to traditional receipt. I'm Vietnamese, i love how he cooked Pho, i'm extremely picky on traditional food, i would not eat or cook if i don't have enough indigents, but Adam stick so close with traditional recipe. He explained so well why we need to pick this and that type of herbs, how is it make unique flavor for that disc, some other cookers just be like "oh you can use this one instead that if you can't find it", some people may not feel offended but if i say something to close to their culture such as " you can use instant ramen instead spaghetti if you can't find spaghetti" then they instantly feel offended. When you grow up with something traditional, you like how the way it is, when someone never grow up with it, and they change the traditional recipe, it truly hurt. i like Adam Liaw a lot, he is very passionate chef, and put a lot respect on traditional foods from other people culture.

    As a kid my mom taught me to make yangzhou fried rice but I never knew it was considered most traditional and because almost everybody in my family including my aunties and uncles knew this version I just figured it was normal and was what everybody did. I wouldn’t eat any food that my family didn’t make unless it was ice cream so I never got to really learn how other people make it

    I'm with Uncle Roger on the spring onion, if you put it in early it will wilt, and even burn. Even the garlic (if you're using it) should probably go in after the veggies because as you can see it's already starting to burn by the time Adam adds the spring onion. Probably start with your choice of pork product to get the fat rendering, then vegies in the order they take to cook, followed by the chicken, then garlic if you're using it then spring onion. I could be wrong though (and probably am)

    At 6:28, the "crack on flat surface" thing is actually a myth. A raised edge transfers the energy much better, for the same reason that knives cut things more easily than hammers. If the point of impact is smaller there is less surface area that the impact is spread over, so the force is more concentrated, and helps the egg to crack in such a way as to be conducive to pouring its contents into something. I have an egg for breakfast most mornings. I was cracking them on flat surfaces "because you're supposed to. I would smash them onto the surface, or not crack them enough, or egg shells would fall into it, or for some reason the yolk would break, or the main crack would be longitudinal, not latitudinal. I started cracking them on the edge of the spatula i use to flip them and i have never had an issue since i started doing it that way. The common argument i see that "it's better for physics reasons" doesn't hold weight if the object you crack it against doesn't move. The other common argument that "shell fragments get in it" also did not occur for me, and over the past few months I've been having an egg a day, so i have had plenty of opportunities to test the idea. It's been empirically tested by me and physics theory (wider surface area of contact means less efficient transfer of force) backs up what I'm saying. I also cracked them into a clear bowl to make sure i wasn't getting any shell in it, and i was not. When i cracked eggs on a flat surface, i did. . I have never once been able to crack an egg one handed by cracking it on a flat surface, but by cracking on the edge of something i can do it because it breaks better, in a more consistent pattern.

    Gold over sliver is normally done in restaurants where the wok is able to heat up the rice nicely.
    Chef will only add in the egg when the rice is dancing in the wok. That indicate that the rice is well heated up and the egg will be nicely cover over the rice making it golden rice.

    There’s a standard published by the city of Yangzhou on what an authentic Yangzhou Fried Rice should be. One notable difference from here is the eggs should be almost deep fried so that it is stringy. Here’s a video demonstrating that technique: th-cam.com/video/Ka7EG8y6ocw/w-d-xo.html (Mianyang is also a very famous food content creator in China)
    At the very least, the oil that Adam used to cook the eggs was not nearly hot enough. There was no air trapped inside the eggs so it wasn’t fluffy. When making Chinese-style fried rice, always use hot hot hot hot hot hot hot oil to scramble the eggs.
