    Hey Laowinners!
    The Patreons have voted and you guys wanted to see what an average, normal, everyday meal looks like in China. Chinese food is diverse, so we are covering Cantonese food today. We head to the wet market and buy all of our fresh Chinese ingredients, and head home to cook a normal Chinese meal. Vivi did her best!

    • @MrAwesomeSaucem
      @MrAwesomeSaucem 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      I think northern Chinese food is a lot closer to western food....different tastes and seasoning to western preparation, but still a lot of beef, pork, wheat products (noodles etc.) - less rice and less fish than southern chinese food. Its a lot heartier. I grew up in the west and have had some good authentic southern chinese food but I want to try more northern dishes!!!

    This is really fabulous because it is very intimate and real! Something else that is wonderful is getting the translation on what the locals are saying. In most cooking, travel shows, you never get to hear what the people are saying and it makes them seem dumb in a way, because they are silent and don't say anything. I loved hearing how the lady was worried about you filming her killing the fish. It shows how much we are alike, and not so different. It is also marvelous to see what you really eat and how you cook it. Love it!

      Keep in mind though that China is a HUGE country and what is normal in one part is uncommon in another. If you head towards Xinjiang, you see lots of yak-related dishes, but you don't see those at all outside special restaurants when you're on the east coast.

    In North China, fish is often fried with oil before further cooking. We don't often have soup, and we have less types of soup, especailly in average household. Vegetables are cooked in a similar way.
    Meat is, in fact, very common. And whether it is beef, lamb or pork, Chinese people always make sure they are fully cooked. Many Chinese people are too proud of their cuisines and a little narrow-minded that they of laugh at foreigners eating "raw meat". They have their reasons to be proud. As one of them, I know it. But I hope they would one day learn to try something different and appreciate it.

    Chinese cooking uses cooking wine a lot. It helps to decrease the smell of fish, smell and taste of the blood, etc... Also, when you stir-fry the egg, adding a little bit of cooking wine helps it to get fluffy as the wine evaporates during the process.

    Great fun video. Thanks for a peek into Chinese culture. She's totally right about the broth. I make bone broth all the time. Put the bones in a crock pot, cover with water, add a tablespoon of cider vinegar and cook on low for 3 days. That little bit of cider vinegar draws all the nutrients out of the bones. I do beef bones (gotta be grass-fed) and chicken bones. When you do chicken bones they come out very flexible like rubber because all the calcium and collagen has been leached out into the broth. Bone broth is one of the healthiest things you can drink.

    This was a great video. I loved the family "home movie" vibe it had :)

    A Hong Kong Chinese (which classifies as a Southern Chinese) here, some people do eat the ingredients of the soup. In your case with the pork bone or pork meat goes really well if you dip it in soy sauce with chilli oil. Some soup ingredients you may not want to eat it because its dry or tasteless, such as pork meat (some people don't like it), chinese medicine. But ingredients like gourd/melon, bone meat, parts of the chicken, chinese mushrooms or seafood, some people would eat it. Another note is for a slight healthier option for the stir fried vege is not to use chicken stock but season with a bit salt and a pinch of sugar while its still in the wok. If you like white pepper, add a pinch of that and it would add an extra flavour to it. Just another option from another Chinese. :)
