spam is not supposed to be in Yang Zhou chao fan, its supposed to be Char siu, shrimp, and it should be stir fried. That rice looked like wet shit tossed together
american here, very surprised at how adventurous aussie taste buds are. wheat gluten and those rice cakes are pretty uncommon as chinese takeout in the US and I think americans tend not to order what theyre comfortable with and avoid very "ethnic" ingredients, so shout out to the aussies!
I've only lived in Australia and Hk before so i can't compare Aus with other western countries, but i find that a lot of chinese restaurants in australia are pretty authentic, the food they serve is basically identical to the one's back in Hk. Also from my understanding, sweet and sour pork isn't a dish invented in the US.
Australia's culinary and immigration timeline with China is different than the U.S.'s and that makes a big difference! Australia started accepting Chinese refugees during WW2, and that's when their restaurant industry started really booming. Chinese restaurants existed before then, but they stayed close to their communities and were popular with artists, students, and professionals. But Chinese restaurants had already sprang up across the U.S. by the 30s, following the gold rush and railroads, and were cheap, reliable staples of working class neighborhoods. Chop Suey was so popular that Americans were shocked in the 1920s to learn it really wasn't a Chinese dish at all. Chinese food wasn't fused in Australia that way. It stayed authentic because Chinese neighborhoods weren't really embraced by their neighbors until the ‘60s and ‘70s. New influxes of immigrants and their restaurants didn't really come to the US until the 70s, after immigration policy changed in the 60s. Many Americans enjoy authentic, diverse Chinese food, but there’s no need for the masses to seek it out because the Americanized version is already so popular. The Australians, on the other hand, have historically had more access to and appetite for that culinary diversity. That's a very condensed version of something that I hope a few other people will think is as interesting as I do! :)
This was actually really interesting to watch, everyone I have ever had chinese food with has always had really boring orders, which I think has coloured my opinion of Australian chinese takeaway, but some of these orders actually look interesting and good!
i enjoyed the video but just to let you know, we typically steam or boil our dumplings. we do pan fry a couple such as pot stickers, but it is more common to korea and japan :)
@@gingerblue2265 sheng jain bao is the one pan fried and then steamed and originated in shanghai xiao long bao is just steamed and originated from changzhou which is around 2hrs away from shanghai :)
I rly love braised eggplant, I didn’t know that anyone else liked them in terms of Chinese food, people typically talk more about the rice or noodles or Xiao Long Bao so I’m glad ppl like it too!
That is very true, same with Indian takeaways. Also I think depends on the chef that night too. Even your regular takeaway and your go to dish isn't the same twice.
I love these participants unlike the UK ones where there is always one person who sabotages the scoring to win and are just nasty and rude in their reviews. These participants are genuine and have a lot of add to the convo!
Yep, Ryan is 100% correct. Aussie Chinese food is far better than in the UK. It's more authentic, I got the shock of my life when I found that Curry Sauce with Hot Chips is considered Chinese in the UK lol
My favorite Chinese dish was made at this little hole in the wall place in Saratoga, California; it was a stir fry made with Chinese eggplant and tofu. The great thing about Chinese eggplant is that when cooked it’s less mushy and has a lovely bite to it.
Eggplant is usually deep fried before stir frying or braising as it creates a thin crust that prevents it from going mushy! It's the Chinese secret to amazing eggplant.
Please try my Chinese dish recommendations and let me know what you think!!! 1.) Xian Bing ( asian meat pie appetizer) 2.) Orange Chicken 3.a) Yin Yang Fried Rice (if you want a rice dish) 3.b) Stir Fry Black Bean Sauce Chow Fun (if you want a noodle dish instead)
Yin Yang Fried Rice is such a good comfort food. I would recommend checking out crispy Hong Kong Style noodles and century egg+ pork congee (century egg might not be for everyone but give it a try if you haven't, its delicious) if anyone have not tried them
This was good to watch, I thought everyone would have rice or noodles in their order! But for a Chinese takeaway, its completely different to the U.K. it was interesting to see what you guys ordered VS what I would order!
my chinese order is, pan friend pork dumplings (i was so happy when ryan said it was his fav), noodles (i like stiry fry the most but it depends), and peking duck
even though the blondie dropped her pan-fried bun, i would actually have to say that she really knows how to use a chopsticks properly; i'm impressed. you're actually supposed to only move one chopstick while keeping the other still; most foreigners just pinch the chopsticks together and almost scoop up their food.
That last dish is rly cool. *Shepherds Purse* is not related to shepherd’s pie just fyi😂 I just look it up. It says there’s a ton of health benefits. Apparently it’s an abundant weed in spring months but has been used in Asian and European cooking and “folk medicine” for centuries. The listed health benefits relate to: a diuretic and for the treatment of dysentery, furuncle, gonorrhea, menstrual disorders, and fever. Source: The Korean Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology
Nope. The China town in Manchester has some gorgeous gems .. I miss eating in an authentic Asian restaurant! Sorry but nothing beats that .. the large trays with steaming baskets .. the crowded atmosphere .. the Chinese menu which is only saved by google translator .. yum! I miss that
Did anyone else think. Yeah you're gonna need that prune juice with all that gluten and carbs? Aussie Chinese Takeaways look nothing like ours in the UK, but I'd miss all the meat with their orders. Ryan's wins just cause I love meaty dishes.
French Canadian (Quebec) here. Not many things in that video i can relate with such as the the wheat gluten (most Chinese immigrants here are from Chengdu and Beijing) as it's more of a Shanghainese dish (maybe those Chinese/American restaurants might have those other ones) the only thing found here that is made to our tastebuds are hunan dumplings (peanut butter (spicy sauce) with dumplings). My favorites as for take out are Peking Duck with Eggplant in black bean sauce or Zhajiangmian (not to confuse with the sweeter Korean version) and tiger skin chicken feet or pig ear salad and Dan Dan noodle or pork intestine noodle soup, my go-to as dumpling are zongzi, and you got to have some pork belly with that such as Hong Shao Rou or some char Siu or Cha Siu Bao. For a country so "close" to China and have such a "basic/plain" selection of items is very particular. I would like to know if they have more traditional dishes from various Chinese provinces available there or is that what the masses eat there?.
As a Chinese i can assure you that the foods you mentioned are much more popular in mainland China that the food shown in the video (except for braised eggplants).
@@lucyzhou4446 Don't get me wrong there are a few (you can count them on one hand) restaurants that have American-ish Chinese foods but that is where most Jewish people go to (their palate is very bland and not much cross contamination 1 wok = 1 plate, no dairy with meat and they never close on Christmas nor Easter) but as our culinary background is not the same as most English Canadians as we have been brought up to eat from nose to tail everything on an animal. And that the spices used in mainland china are widely used here (cloves, star anise, ginger, garlic, fennel seeds, pepper green onion and ginseng [yin...we are the largest exporter (of cooling variety) to China and Singapore] though cinnamon isn't very popular with us but we do love mace and/or nutmeg). Funny thing is not much maltose or sugar cane or corn syrup used here they use honey or maple syrup as a sweetener.
Sohan was right I was offended when she poked a hole in the soup dumplings and flipped it over cause that's when the soup falls out. Although I didn't see soup fall out and they looked very solid and thick so not sure if it was just cold.
Is that a take away? From my experience, steak restaurants here tend to be more fancy and don't have a take away option. Unless you mean a pub (where you can sometimes order steaks) but even then take away is somewhat rare (no pun intended haha)
SOHAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE XIAO LONG BAO?! Don't poke it. You carefully lift it up and place it on a spoon, bite the top off and then add a little bit of the vinaigrette. There's a bit of stock or soup inside the filling with mince. It's a delicate piece and must be handled with care
Wheezy's order was really interesting. I've never heard of wheat gluten. Ryan's was so good though. Although that fried rice was pale as hell. Makes me curious to go to Australia to see if the food is really that good.
you're probably used to the southern chinese variety of fried rice where both regular and dark soy sauce are used. yangzhou fried rice is usually pale since that's the style
I appreciate how grown up their orders are. I'll live and die on my lemon chicken hill, and I'm not ashamed.
Lemon chicken! That’s adventurous, try general tso’s chicken 🥲

Great idea!!!
This is so hard cause Chinese takeaway is so different and we don’t know where/if the food was from the same Chinese place each person goes to
That is very true, same with Indian takeaways. Also I think depends on the chef that night too. Even your regular takeaway and your go to dish isn't the same twice.
Hi I'm Egyptian and I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. Can we please get an Aussies Try Egyptian Food video?
How can you not love Coops? She is so awesome and vibrant!
No way the last guy should’ve won his order made me drool at my screen 😂😂 i wish there was a restaurant near me that cooks that amazing food
I hope you guys can try each other's cultural family recipes.

Lol -- orders 1, 3 and 4 are basically, while Wheezy went in with the authentic Chinese food 👍👍
YAAAASSSS I LOVE CHINESE FOOD!! Such a delicious, comforting cuisine.

This is not chinese takeaway food. This is authentic chinese food lol
nah still takeaway. authentic food is way more creative

2. Eggplant recipes
