I just received my copy of the book. It is a truly beautiful item, in both content and production quality. The inclusion of the QR codes to link to the original videos for each recipe is a stroke of genius.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad to hear that you’re happy with the book-it means a lot to me. I’m thrilled that you find the QR codes useful; it was such an exciting way to bring the videos and recipes together in one place! I hope you enjoy cooking from it and that it adds a new layer of fun to your kitchen adventures. If you have a chance, I’d love it if you could leave an honest review on Amazon-it really helps support the book. Wishing you a wonderful cooking experience and a joyful holiday season! 🎉
Considering that Char Siu is the first recipe that you ever shared on your channel, this shows how far you had come on this journey. As a long time subscriber I'm thrilled to see upgraded and updated recipes of your older videos which I already loved.❤❤
Hi Mindy 老師！ I just ordered 3 copies of your new cookbook - one for each of my two children, who are half Chinese and, due to their (late) mother's cooking when they were growing up, both have "Chinese stomachs". The 3rd one is for me, because after 40+ years of marriage, I also can't live without home cooked Chinese food! I also own your carbon steel wok, which is much better than my old one in terms of quickly reaching and maintaining the high temperature needed for many of your recipes.
Thank you so much for your kind support! It warms my heart that you've ordered my cookbook for your children and yourself. I'm thrilled to hear you’re enjoying my carbon steel wok too! I hope you and your family have a wonderful time cooking together and enjoying these recipes. If you haven't yet, could you take a few minutes to leave a review on Amazon? Your feedback would mean so much and help others discover the book. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and happy cooking! 😊
Have to say the true. All of your video is the answer of my journey to learn Chinese cuisine. Even my mom get a new recipes from you. Thank you so much.
Hi Mandy ! You are fantastic ! A kind of great doctor, or scientiste of cooking ! I love you and your cooking videos, your voice, your smile and when you taste foods it's seems always that the taste is almost comming to me ! I am a 69 years old French woman, and I admire your knowledge. You are a brilliant and energetic young woman and you give a lot of joy to the people. Congratulations for your book. I am sure I will love it when I get it. This recipe is perfect like you. 🤩
Bonjour! 🌸 Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful message-it truly touched my heart! Knowing that my videos bring joy and a sense of connection, especially across continents, is the greatest reward. Your words mean so much to me, and I’m so honored to have your support. I hope the book brings you as much joy as the videos, and I can’t wait to hear what you think when it arrives. If you ordered it on Amazon, I’d love it if you could share your thoughts by leaving a product review-it really helps the book reach more people.

@SoupedUpRecipes your answer makes me very happy too, it touches me deeply. You know all this is an exchange between people who love others, who like to share and who are always happy to give. You are very generous and you deserve a lot of compliments and success. I don't really like all these silent videos that we see on the Internet. I like people like you who speak to us directly, face to face. OK for the book, just I think I must wait until 2025. Add:I just went to Amazon just to put it in my wishlist and I'm surprised because it is not avalaible. I saw it but, It is not in stock at the moment. Hope it will be in january😊❤
I just tried the recipe. I must say I tried many recipes your old one as well as many others from well known chefs. They had all one thing together they where all close to the real thing and almost similar to proper Hong Kong style char siu, but this recipe is 💯 % AUTHENTIC! BEST ONE EVER!!!❤
I think I started watching your channel because of your first video on cha siu! I had just moved to Japan and was missing the kind of cha siu you'd find from the old Cantonese places back in the US. The cha siu in Japan, while good on ramen, is nothing like the OG cha siu. Congratulations on your book, Mandy!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s amazing to hear that my cha siu video brought a little taste of home to you in Japan. I know exactly what you mean-the classic Cantonese cha siu has such a unique flavor, and I’m so happy my recipe could fill that nostalgic craving for you. Thank you for supporting my book! I hope it brings you as much joy as the videos. If you ordered it on Amazon, I’d be so grateful if you could leave an honest product review-it really helps spread the love for Chinese cooking. Wishing you a warm and joyful holiday season filled with delicious meals! 😊🎉
This recipe is excellent!! I made this for my family on Christmas Eve and it was a huge hit. Thanks for the super clear instructions and amazon links so I could see what the ingredients looked like closer up and found them in my local asian market. Thanks!!!! Will be getting the cookbook!
I stumbled into the original video many years ago when this was just a tiny new channel. I've tried quite a few recipes for char siu, and the original Souped Up Recipes one is still my favorite. I'm very curious to try this one. Thanks for posting. 😁
I’m so glad my cookbook made it onto your holiday list! 🎁🍜 Wishing you many delicious adventures in the kitchen-may every recipe bring joy and warmth to your celebrations. Happy cooking and happy holidays! ❤️✨
I will reduce the Tapioca Starch next time. My marinade turned out to be way too thick and did not stick to the pork -- much like in this video. So be careful with the marinade being too thick.
I have been following you for a while now, and you are the main expert on Asian cuisine on TH-cam for me. I have impressed many of my Asian friends with your recipes, so glad you have a new book out! I just placed my order, can’t wait to receive it! 🍜 ♥️ 📕

Barry Manilow's 1st hit song...he didn't write it though. It was released in England in '71 and called Brandy, it's written by Scott English and Richard Kerr.

You would've been proud of me tonight! I actually made my own recipe using so much I have learned from you and actually a few other people on TH-cam. I made tofu with stirfry veggies and a curried pumpkin (butternut squash from my compost bin) and lentils. Served with rice and a peach chutney I made back in August 😘😋 I really thank you the most for demystifying Chinese cuisine thanks to your detailed instructions Thanks a million!
Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing! 😍 You should be so proud of yourself for creating such a unique and delicious meal-it sounds like a beautiful blend of flavors and creativity! I’m especially impressed by the curried pumpkin and peach chutney combo; that sounds incredible. 🌟 Thank you for your kind words-it means the world to know that my videos have helped you explore and enjoy Chinese cuisine.

We do ship to UK. You can purchase it on my website - curatedkitchenware.com/products/souped-up-recipes-168-better-than-takeout-chinese-recipes However, we are short in inventory in UK so it will take a long time to deliver.

This is phenomenal timing. I just bought 4 pork roasts and think that this would be fantastic to do with one of them! (or maybe 2, we will have to see). Thank you also for the links, since I've always hesitated to buy fermented bean curd just because I didn't know which one was the correct one to buy! And congratulations on the cookbook! I will have to buy a copy when I have money again (probably after the holidays, though it makes me very sad to have to wait!)
So many years of interpretation from written word. So far, no authentic nor desirable results! After seeing your video, I finally see how it is done. It even has the red yeast. So excellent! I cannot wait to receive your book, sometime next week. I ordered a copy for my mother as well. Here's to all the excellent feasting and celebration I will enjoy with friends and family, and the myriad delights my family will enjoy weekly if not daily. Many blessings, Mandy Fu; I cannot wait to see how you prosper, knowing that Chinese Cuisine is forever. Speaking of this, gotta order the fermented tofu and the yeast, next...
Thank you so much for your wonderful support! I’m so happy to hear that my videos have helped you get the authentic results you’ve been looking for! I’m sure your family will love the recipes as much as I enjoy sharing them with you. By the way, has the book arrived yet? I’d love to hear if you’re enjoying it so far. Did you happen to order it on Amazon? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave an honest review. Reviews really help to spread the word and support the book.

Dear Mandy, with your kindness and friendliness you always make even the most complicated recipes simple! Book ordered, I hope to be able to use it for my Christmas menu. I love this recipe, it reminds me of my walks in Kowloon. For the next char siu I will use your recipe, thank you!

LOVE char siu!!!! I like to make a batch & freeze it for quick additions to ramen/soups or lunches over rice!!!! ❤❤❤ how thick & sticky your sauce came out!!!! Even though it makes it harder to coat. It looked beautiful!!! & the snacking on it when it’s done…. That’s quality control… you have to make sure it came out good right??😊

Hi Mandy, As a Graphic Designer congratulations on your new book. When you are showing your book and flipping the pages, the pages is shown upside down. It is the little things that people catch what wrong with which gives a negative impression. When I setting up a photo shoot it has to be perfect. Hope this will help you for next time. Really enjoy your vlog. Having managing my parents restaurant when I was a young man I find your recipes so close to restaurants cooking. Really appreciate for sharing. Thank You 🙏🙏🙏

ordered the new book and am going to make that recipe for char siu with the Amazon-linked items that I don't have especially the red yeast powder which I had to find outside of the linked ones from Amazon but is still possible. Thank you for teaching me how to make interesting dinners at home.
Thank you so much for ordering the book and for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you're planning to try the char siu recipe-it’s one of my favorites!

Congratulations on your cookbook. For those in U.K. looking for the Chinese rose wine it’s called Miu Kwei Liew ( various spellings) from memory the one I am thinking of comes in a white bottle. My late father made the amazing pork he learned from a top hotel in HK that he taught his staff back in the 60s. Love the snacking 😉

I love it when you say "Hi everyone" - it‘s the best. ::)
it's so annoying, especially the trailing one 😂
I'll admit, it scares me every time. But then I get to laugh at myself
Hi everyonnnnnnnnnnnne
Anytime I have a bad day, and I see one of her videos, the "Hi Everyone" makes my day better, her personality is very uplifting.
That ‘Everyone’ reverberated like crazy
I just received my copy of the book. It is a truly beautiful item, in both content and production quality. The inclusion of the QR codes to link to the original videos for each recipe is a stroke of genius.

My mouth is watering that char siu looks amazing!
....thank you for sharing these recipes. Always great to see you!!
Hi Mandy, this pork dish looks delicious! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Lady Mandy well done on the release of your book. Be blessed
You make all your dishes so easy to make! Thank you.

I’m doing my best to get it to you as soon as possible and sincerely apologize for the delay. Your understanding means a lot, and I’m so grateful that you’re willing to leave a review when it arrives!
Wishing you a joyful holiday season.
Warm regards,
Mandy Fu

Pretty darned clever comment.
I remember that tune!
Barry Manilow's 1st hit song...he didn't write it though. It was released in England in '71 and called Brandy, it's written by Scott English and Richard Kerr.

You would've been proud of me tonight! I actually made my own recipe using so much I have learned from you and actually a few other people on TH-cam. I made tofu with stirfry veggies and a curried pumpkin (butternut squash from my compost bin) and lentils. Served with rice and a peach chutney I made back in August 😘😋 I really thank you the most for demystifying Chinese cuisine thanks to your detailed instructions Thanks a million!
Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing! 😍 You should be so proud of yourself for creating such a unique and delicious meal-it sounds like a beautiful blend of flavors and creativity! I’m especially impressed by the curried pumpkin and peach chutney combo; that sounds incredible. 🌟

There is international shipping on the website ❤
We do ship to UK. You can purchase it on my website - curatedkitchenware.com/products/souped-up-recipes-168-better-than-takeout-chinese-recipes
However, we are short in inventory in UK so it will take a long time to deliver.

Looks delicious thank you Mandy
This is phenomenal timing. I just bought 4 pork roasts and think that this would be fantastic to do with one of them! (or maybe 2, we will have to see). Thank you also for the links, since I've always hesitated to buy fermented bean curd just because I didn't know which one was the correct one to buy! And congratulations on the cookbook! I will have to buy a copy when I have money again (probably after the holidays, though it makes me very sad to have to wait!)
So many years of interpretation from written word. So far, no authentic nor desirable results! After seeing your video, I finally see how it is done. It even has the red yeast. So excellent!
I cannot wait to receive your book, sometime next week. I ordered a copy for my mother as well. Here's to all the excellent feasting and celebration I will enjoy with friends and family, and the myriad delights my family will enjoy weekly if not daily.
Many blessings, Mandy Fu; I cannot wait to see how you prosper, knowing that Chinese Cuisine is forever. Speaking of this, gotta order the fermented tofu and the yeast, next...
Thank you so much for your wonderful support! I’m so happy to hear that my videos have helped you get the authentic results you’ve been looking for! I’m sure your family will love the recipes as much as I enjoy sharing them with you.
By the way, has the book arrived yet? I’d love to hear if you’re enjoying it so far. Did you happen to order it on Amazon? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave an honest review. Reviews really help to spread the word and support the book.

Dear Mandy, with your kindness and friendliness you always make even the most complicated recipes simple! Book ordered, I hope to be able to use it for my Christmas menu. I love this recipe, it reminds me of my walks in Kowloon. For the next char siu I will use your recipe, thank you!

Thanks Mandy for a newer Char Siu Recipe, although your original one was already perfect for me. Cookbook Congrats! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your Family. 💜
I made this so I could use it in your Singapore Noodle recipe. It was excellent! Thank you! If you have the time for a marinade, this is a really simple recipe. Worth every minute. 💜🙏🏽
Love this recipe!!! Would love to see recipes that use this pork, soups, rice and stir fry’s … ❤

LOVE char siu!!!! I like to make a batch & freeze it for quick additions to ramen/soups or lunches over rice!!!! ❤❤❤ how thick & sticky your sauce came out!!!! Even though it makes it harder to coat. It looked beautiful!!! & the snacking on it when it’s done…. That’s quality control… you have to make sure it came out good right??😊

Hi Mandy,
As a Graphic Designer congratulations on your new book. When you are showing your book and flipping the pages, the pages is shown upside down. It is the little things that people catch what wrong with which gives a negative impression. When I setting up a photo shoot it has to be perfect. Hope this will help you for next time.
Really enjoy your vlog. Having managing my parents restaurant when I was a young man I find your recipes so close to restaurants cooking. Really appreciate for sharing. Thank You 🙏🙏🙏

ordered the new book and am going to make that recipe for char siu with the Amazon-linked items that I don't have especially the red yeast powder which I had to find outside of the linked ones from Amazon but is still possible. Thank you for teaching me how to make interesting dinners at home.
Thank you so much for ordering the book and for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you're planning to try the char siu recipe-it’s one of my favorites! About the red yeast powder, feel free to use red food coloring as a replacement.

Congratulations on your cookbook.
For those in U.K. looking for the Chinese rose wine it’s called Miu Kwei Liew ( various spellings) from memory the one I am thinking of comes in a white bottle. My late father made the amazing pork he learned from a top hotel in HK that he taught his staff back in the 60s.
Love the snacking 😉
