Understanding Flavor

Thank you for sharing your dad's secret recipe for steamed fish.  It's a joy watching your parents impart their many years' experience creating delicious Chinese food.  It's wonderful that you are memorializing this important part of your parent's lives and culture for future generations of food lovers.  I remember when my mother made a whole fish (in a Chinese style), the meat was very soft and tender.  Now, many years later, many of her teeth are missing and she is not eating well.  (I haven't been able to convince her to get dentures but will keep trying.)  This steamed fish recipe turned out great with red snapper.  The steamed fish was soft and tender, but most importantly, my mother was able to easily eat and enjoy it.  I will try tilapia next time.  Thank you again for sharing!

Randomly found this video, 2 minutes in and I'm already subscribed dude. So much details and secret ingredients. I love it. I live in Malaysia and i love Chinese food. Especially what they do with fish. But i can never replicate the flavour. That gingery rich salty oily sauce that comes with the fish. Been looking for the recipe for years. 

Now i can't wait to try this. But i gotta find all those ingredients first. I dont wanna experiment with this, your dad is giving his genuine recipe and i can absolutely see his passion and experience in cooking just from those 'chef speed julienne chopping'. 

Subscribed and bell on after 2 minutes dude. Thank you for sharing

Love to watch your dad cooking with explanations, very enjoyable and I learned a lot from him . Thank you so much  and please say hi to your dad , love him and his cooking
