I could watch this man cook all day. He's so peaceful.
We think so... A legend in the kitchen!
Ervin Fowlkes, yes, true.. I agree.. What a calm man.. 🙂
Yes it is 😊
The Bob Ross of cooking lel
Probably because he's a Buddhist.
best chinese cooking video on youtube, why? because it is the only one that gives the REASONS behind each instruction
exactly.....
👍

I KNOW RIGHT ? !!! I MEAN I WATCHED A LOT OF VIDEOS ON HOW TO MAKE AN ASIAN NOODLES BUT I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THEM ALL , BUT THIS ONE IS MORE EASY AND DELICIOUS!
littlecicero I completely agree. He's a wonderful cooking instructor.
What a nice man. Gentle humble tone. Unusual with chefs. Polite and pleasant.
reza michael especially with gordon ramsay 😂😂😂
He probably knows kung fu
it's the lack of tattoos that keeps him real
@Nawroz Muhammad he won't that's his whole bs shtick. ramsay ruined food tv. all yelling and bs. he's a wanker.
Not true. A lot of professionals can put on a very good front. Behind the scenes they show their true colours.
Ken is a sweet man. Can anyone feel his energy just by watching the video?
No.
Jack T. Ripper lol
Yes, he seems like a sweet man but I wish the video had focused more on his _hands_, so that we could see everything he was doing :)
You can see his passion for food. Definitely with Chinese cooking, less is more. Jamie Orrible would be throwing all sorts into this chow mein, but it isn't needed.
he used kaioken
I liked how lowkey nervous he was, makes him more relatable
I had the pleasure of having drinks with Ken Hom a few years ago and he is such an interesting man! Absolute genius & genuine. Love this man.
how lucky you are!🤩
Agree with others that his voice can be heard all day long. Imagine he is your cooking instructor for a day or a week, that's a blessing.
What I love about Ken Hom's video is that he doesn't talk down to you, he isn't all flash, he's laid back, he takes his time to explain what he's doing at each stage. I have just ordered a wok and a selection of food items to give his recipes a try.
I remember watching Ken when I was younger and thinking he was the coolest. Watching this confirmed he still is!
oabuseer of play
Yes he is,
I've used Ken Hom's fried rice recipe in my kitchen for 25 years and have never had better in any Chinese restaurant. Chef Hom is the master!
We couldn't agree more! So lovely to hear that you have been inspired by Ken Hom for such a long time - and we are also super jealous of your fried rice!
This looks like a great recipe, all I need to do for me is add some diced chicken breast and it will be perfect. :D
Can I know the recipe please??
@@tesco Link please??
@@bhuwangotame1502 Yes!! Link?
One of the best teacher in Chinese cooking . He demonstrated priceless lesson here . I used to go to Chinese cooking and all this was demonstrated at a very expensive lesson . Thanks Ken .
I always like to watch Ken Hom videos because he has a very pleasing presentational style. There's a gentleness to his manner that's always a welcome contrast to the more egotistical, diva-type chefs.
him: "you don't want to use olive oil for this"
me: "oops"
🤣😂
Dude.. I just did the same thing and I was like "Wait... What??" Lol
I like how the instructor is talking.. clear.. precise... and it looks so good
A very important thing: to explain the "why and how". And Mr. Hom ist one of the best, doing that. Thank you so much, Ken!
the method of slicing red pepper is brilliant
Ken HOm sir you really are the master. Making it look so easy has always been your way. thank you.

Very thorough with instructions. An excellent video. I will definitely try this dish! Thank you Sir!
So glad you like the video and hope you enjoy trying out the recipe for yourself! 😊

thank you so much ken for the simplicity of how you explain how to make this dish
Wow, one of the best cooking videos Ive ever seen! Easy to understand, easy to follow, very detailed. He also goes above and beyond and shows you the intricacies of how to hold the cleaver; and other minute details
Ken is cool, got a Ken Hom wok as a housewarming present 21 years ago and still using it with his recipes to this day.
I love watching this guy cook . I first found Ken , some 20 odd years ago on Sky's QVC shopping channel . I couldn't believe how quick he could put a chinese meal together , in such a short space of time . He gives clear , concise instructions , with as other posters have already mentioned , the reasons behind these choices , and all in a really polite and humble kinda way . Even here he showed how to hold and use a cleaver . A very pleasant guy to watch .
I loved his video and the way he explains each step as well as the reason for everything.
He seems like a very kind and calm person, seeing his makes me want to cook.
Yes my favourite chef well done ken. Always lovely to observe him at his art.
Love this man could watch him all day
Thanks Ken! Im making this for my wife today. Allah willing.
Love Ken Hom. Love the way he explains each step.
I feel so much respect for you. Very gentle and docile fellow. Love your cooking.
I tried this today and it was awesome and delicious 💕 thank you 💕
This man really calms my soul. His gentle and patient way to explain things is amazing. I wish I could be more like that especially with my kids.
Thanks so much, I love the teaching on how to cut the vegetables. You are a teacher by heart.
This guy is so calm and easy to follow, I'm gonna try this!
Congratulations!
That's the most proffesional way to do this video.
I've really enjoyed every section of your coocking session
Thank you!
I enjoyed every single moment of this clip. Chef you are marvelous ... the style, the concepts and the soft explanations ... Thumbs UP Sir. Love it.
Ken is King . Makes everything so clear . Explaining everything.
I LOVE that I came across this video!!! I lived in China for a few months and there are dishes like this that I crave often (I am from the US). Thank you for the detail in explaining each ingredient and the clarity and quality you bring you your videos.
I made it tonight...it came out perfect! I'm pretty useless in the kitchen, but this was an easy recipe and it tastes great!
Thanks Wok Man! lol
+thePunctual Pothead We're thrilled you enjoyed both making and eating this. Thanks for the great feedback.
+Tescofoodandwine we really love it...I make this once a week now.
Easy for cooking, I'll try, thanks!!!
My 5 year old want to say “hi” to you chef 👨🍳.. after watching you cooking
Short, crisp and to the point. Thank you chef!
His calmness makes me calm and that is the very reason why I watch this from time to time.
Now, I'm hungry! Delicious recipe!
I love this recipe! I have made this multiple times and every time it is delicious. Thank you!
I could watch you cook all day long. Your demeanor is very pleasant, and you explain everything down to the tiniest details. Which is very important to someone like me who is trying to increase my cooking skills! Thank you! Definitely subscribing right now!
I can listen to his voice all day. So peaceful
What a really lovely chap! Great tips here. Chow Mein can be so varied. My own tip is stick to veggies you like, I add shitake mushrooms instead of the peppers. Pre-cook meat and add if you don't want vegatatian. Great vid, thank you Ken
Thanks for sharing your tips - they sound delicious! And we are so glad you like the video 😊
you can add any ingredient you like, even egg
This looks absolutely divine. I shall make this as Christmas dinner for my family.
Ken Hom has a very pleasant style. Keep it up!
+Stefan S We hope you enjoy your festive chow mein feast!
Pennywise
It's not really a Christmas dinner. More like soul food
No hi
This man is simply a MASTER & great teacher to boot. Also, the TV chef Simply Ming taught me the bell pepper cutting trick on 1 of his shows some years ago.
A humble man with great voice, an excellent chef and a very simple technique of cooking. Good to watch. Joy ho!
I love how he explains everything so well. He is my new favorite cook on TH-cam.
An Excellent Interpretations of Fried Noodles especially during the lockdown and a few beers after MIdnight :)
This got to be the best Chinese cooking video on youtube, he sounds like a real gentleman, no wonder he's a celebrity chef
i love how you explain everything so perfect
This guy is adorable.
:-)
Well done..very nice..clear talking that u can follow all the things he is saying..yumyum fudzzz..
I love how he takes his time to explain everything to you
A wonderful instructor and thorough enough for me! Kudos for Mr. Hom!

Such a pleasant man.
Thank u

thanks a lot I learned I lot chef...
1st time watching your video! I love how you tell tips and techniques to cut things and tell reasons why things should be first to put in.
This is a beautiful example how one single humble-toned decent man can show peace and good food to all of us: people of so different countries and religions. Respect from Hungary
‘Which you can get at any..’ *remembers this is for Tesco* *clears throat* ‘at your supermarket.’
And he cooked the whole dish with chop sticks!! 🙌🏼👌🏼
really love dishes with lots of veggies in it. that is absolutely appetiting!
The nicest chef, clear and makes you want to run into the kitchen and get on it
I'm sure if he was actually serving this dish to others, he wouldn't have used the same chopstick. He probably shared it with his family, who drink/eat after each other all the time. Looked yummy! Love your videos, very informative
+Faith Lydia Seriously! '-_-

+Tescofoodandwine chinese sweet & sour pork or hot & sour soup would be awesome:)
+MaryKay Thanks for the helpful feedback!
+MaryKay ken hom has an excellent (old) hot and sour soup recipe, I made it yesterday. It is absolutely easy (I thought it would be madly difficult).
Rachel ray aint got shit on this guy!
I haven’t learned so much about cutting techniques on any youtube video ever amazing!!

The chef is so humble and makes the food with so much love. Highly appreciated. May Almighty Allah bless him.
Nobody needs a blessing from allah the butcher.
Best Chinese food channel on youtube! I am Chinese and I can say everything Ken does is authentically Chinese!
Awesome recipe for vegans! Why haven't I come across this sooner？👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍
Make sure you tell your friends.
for example, it is the only video I've seen that explains the difference between light and dark soy sauce, how to know if a wok is hot enough, why not to fine chop garlic in a stir fry, what is the logic behind the order of adding ingredients. Other recipes tell you to DO these things but do not tell you WHY
+littlecicero We are so glad that you like the video. We certainly believe that it is important to explain ingredients to people, especially if they are from other cuisines. Are you a big fan of Chinese dishes? :)
+Tescofoodandwine Thank you for your very kind reply. Before I lived in China, I always thought I had no sense of taste. But the culinary standard there is so extreme, that it was a revelation. Since then I have wanted to learn the basics but the youtube videos for Chinese cuisine are not as good as the ones for other cuisines, in my experience- except for this one, which is awesome :) I look forward to seeing the rest of the tesco ken him videos. Thank you very much for sharing these !!!!
+littlecicero That's very interesting! Yes, it is sadly quite hard to get stuck into cooking authentic recipes without covering a bit of the basics. We are so happy we can help you along on your Chinese culinary discovery, do keep us posted on how you get on :)
+Tescofoodandwine thank you very much indeed, I will keep you updated. I saw his tesco wok basics episode and that was excellent too. Have a wonderful day ! :)
I love the way he cooks.The dish is awesome.tq chef.
Ah now here is a REAL recipe from a REAL chef. More of this please, Tesco.
I love you is that it VengaboysRbackINtown
his head is brighter than my future
+Gaby Peralta Good one! ha
+Gaby Peralta i spilled my coffee because of you're joke...but it was funny tho!!!
Gaby Peralta then no future
Gaby Peralta Kid, I used to say the exact same joke, but now I'm in uni studying medical radiation. You'll shine like his forehead one day 😉
Gaby Peralta n
for those people like me who can't flip the food over with the flick of a wrist and can't use chopsticks for stirring the veggies/meat/noodles together, use pasta tongs to stir the ingredients together. No,I am not improving the masters techniques, I am just making it easier for us idiots.
well said
Thank u for the tip ..☺
Very detailed information about cooking proper meals.
Good to watch this video.
Yummy. I'm going to try this today for lunch. Thank u
