That is brilliant! I'm 77 - l make mostly Asian food - but my stirfries often turn into veg casseroles before the veg are cooked. I never knew about blanching! But it makes perfect sense when you think of the restaurant stirfries. So thank you again!
Pollie Bain I'm 75 and I am a lover of Chinese food, and determined to learn how to cook it. I never knew about blanching either ! But it all makes sense now. I can't wait to try it out. They never give you amounts !! like a proper recipe. If you want to make a batch of the sauce for later recipes, you still need to have some idea of the proportions of the ingredients that go into it. I always seem to over do the oyster sauce or the soy sauce, and consequently end up destroying the dish (last time it was as salty as anything) and i followed that particular recipe to the letter with my measurements ? so now, I'm still none the wiser.He explained it very well, but proportions would have been helpful.
Fantastic step by step demonstration and sequence of cooking to obtain optimum cooking quality.I wondered why sliced ginger was not included or mentioned
Thanks for watching and hope you will enjoy the vegetable stir-fry. Please add ginger slice if you like the flavor. I did not include it as I like garlic more, but is only my preference.
It’s actually more a "method" than a recipe because you can change the vegetables to what you have on hand. For the sauce, you could add chopped ginger, or soy sauce if you don't have oyster sauce. Keep to the basics but substitute if you have to. Shiitake mushrooms, Bok Choi, bean sprouts, whatever you have.
Thank you so much for your simple recipe. I am very fond of good Chinese food and your simple process makes them so achievable at home. I tried this recipe 3 times at home and they have come out well every time. Once I had a put little more sauce which made the dish a little saucy but other two times were excellent. Just the right amount of sauce to glaze the veggies and the dishes were so tasty and healthy. I would try out as much recipes as I can from your library just for the sheer simplicity of your cooking yet the output being so flavourful. Today I am going to try your Tandoori Chicken. Will post how it came out. Thank you for making cooking simple for novices like us.
Your so nice calming and relaxing and love yr meal and recipes and how you make it seem easy with yr detailed and yet simple tips and instructions thank you nice man you should become a Professor or Teacher aswell 😊
Read it first, went away and did some stir-frying, with a smaller-than-desirable wok, and an incomplete understanding of blanching, got soggy, wilted vegetables somewhere between raw and partly-steamed, with no taste, and then returned to the video, spotted all my mistakes, corrected many of them (not all! haven't got a high-intensity wok burner yet), and stir-fried veg. is blissful! Thank you for the careful and complete guide to stir-frying.
I like that you mentioned that the home stove will not be hot enough to produce Wok Hei. At the place where I worked, we had a lovely Chinese family who brought their pets to our clinic for health care. They had a restaurant on the Northside of our city. One day, when all was quiet they came in for so medication for their dogs and I told them I was trying to learn to cook Asian food, but couldn't seem to get that singed flavor like we would get in a restaurant. They were very honest with me and said that home stoves were not hot enough to get the Wok Hei flavor, which is the breath of the wok, just like you said. They told me when they cook at home, they don't get that flavor, either and I felt better, but was disappointed. I wished I had a home wok burner until I saw a video where the Asian woman did have a real wok burner and it was in a separate place with a powerful hood over it. I thought if she wasn't careful, that wok hood was going to suck her up right out of her kitchen and she'd get stuck in the hood! Thankfully, that didn't happen, but she was a tiny lady and knew how to cook on a real wok burner and wok. The hood was so powerful that it was also very loud, but if it wasn't there, there would have been nowhere for the steam and smoke from the wok to go, but all over the house. I really enjoyed your video and have subscribed to your channel. Thank you for taking the time to show how to cook stir-fried vegetables. Now, I will look for your channel and see what else you are teaching us. 😀
Glad I found your recipe and website. This came out PERFECT. Loved it also because the VEGETABLES STAYED CRUNCHY, yet they were cooked Keep up the good work
Thank you for your very simple approach or procedure in cooking veggies show us some more recipes in cooking vegies with meat pork chicken beef lamb fish and prawns
It's a cast iron wok, pass down from my mother. I don’t know where she bought it, but it looks like it will last for a lifetime. Highly recommend using a cast iron wok.
You can use the vegetarian 'oyster sauce' as the substitute. It's made with mushroom extract but tastes like oyster sauce. Please ask your local Asian grocery shop. The brand Lee Kum Kee produces it, or you can get it from Amazon online. Alternatively, omit the oyster sauce, use light soy sauce plus a small amount of sugar as the substitute.

I need to buy different spices other than the reg veg.I have oyster sauce.rice vinegar. Soy. Ginger.the vegetables, the meats..I want to know what other spices I can buy
You can get the recipe by following this link to my blog post: tasteasianfood.com/vegetable-stir-fry/ There are many more details in this article which is not possible to include in this short video. Thanks.
Forget a wok burner, I have to put my induction stove on a slightly lower heat because the highest and second highest heat create an abnormal enormous amount of smoke and a burnt scent when making egg fried rice. Heck I need an infrared thermometer because if I want my carbon steel wok to smoke to get wok hei there's a very small time frame to add the peanut oil if I don't want to get a wok fire. 😂

Hi Mr Kwan, thank you for your video. Could you also tell me the size of your wok and where you bought it. Thanks !
It's a cast iron wok, pass down from my mother. I don’t know where she bought it, but it looks like it will last for a lifetime. Highly recommend using a cast iron wok.
Enjoyed your sharing!
But just wondering....
Veggies blanching will lost the veggies vitamins?
What do you do with the water after blanching?
There will be some nutrition loss. Alternatively, steam for a few minutes instead of blanching the veggies.
Nice👍👍👍👍
Tq Chef…
yummy!
Thanks for the video. Instead of oyster sauce can we use readymade schezwan or chilly sauce...?
You can use the vegetarian 'oyster sauce' as the substitute. It's made with mushroom extract but tastes like oyster sauce. Please ask your local Asian grocery shop. The brand Lee Kum Kee produces it, or you can get it from Amazon online.

I don't have oyster sauce, but I do have soy sauce. Can I use that?
