  • One of my favorite "go to" real chinese dishes is very similar to this one.
    chopped pork with garlic, ginger and water chestnuts, corn starch, steamed.
    way way yum. The salted fish is an intresting addition. Jicima instead of water chestnuts, Could it be that top chefs dont use canned water chestnuts?Fresh ones are hard to find and clean.

  • definitely slow loading vid but worth the wait (both Phan and Ringwold vids)

  • I can't watch them either eclectic

  • All I get is a message that this video is unavailable or has expired. Same with the Molly Ringwald link.

  • That gas burner for the wok is freaking awesome!!

  • I can do that !

    So few ingredients and nothing to be afeared of.

    Thank you Charles .

  • Umm, is that his house? I want!

  • I'd be curious to know how to select a dried fish? I see bagged, dried fish at the international store all the time, but i'm never sure what i'd be looking for for a particular dish.
    That being said, I'm definitely gonna try next time I'm there, i'd love to try this!

  • Wow, that is a crazy cool home kitchen!
