    Hey, don’t worry too much about the grams/ounces for it (but if you’re gonna try use grams.). It will definitely change based on the humidity and temperature where you’re doing it. A much better practice is to give a range of amounts and a description of what the dough should end of feeling like; none of us control the weather 🙂

    Love your content. Stay safe, healthy, and happy.

    Saw this video and was also heart broken with the end result. The amount of time and effort is insane, I hope they ate it or maybe gave to a homeless center. Seems like a waste of perfectly good food. Honestly hope they try again, would love to see it work out.😊

    The difficulty with that volume of dough is the balance of flouring the surface to keep it from sticking but not working too much of the flour into the dough.

    In terms of your question about hot water in dough. Hot water denatures the proteins in flour, which will make the dough very pliable and soft, both to the touch and to the "mouth feel". In cold water the chains in the gluten want to stretch, meaning it doesn't make a good shaped dough. So you'd use a cold water dough for something like an egg based noodle, whereas you'd use a hot water dough for something like samosas. The reason you use hot water for some bread doughs is because the yeast is very sensitive to temperature and, iirc, the yeast activates at a certain temperature which assists with causing the dough to rise.

    For the hot water, i think its because you can incorporate more flour to it

    If i remember correctly from my science class, when you heat water, the atom seperate making space between them
    So it take more of other tuff to saturate the water
    (Exemple, if you put salt into cold water till saturation, if you boil that water, you will be able to add more salt to it before it get saturated)

    good suggestion for you to react to that would also lean heavily into your experience on running restaurants is Guga's " I ate at SALT BAE, Here's Why I’ll NEVER go back!" It would be interesting to see a professional's views on it.

    Dude. Just keep making videos. Ignore those comments saying that white chef in europe overtaking your channel. You need to understand one thing. You are part of the Asian wave, you might be just a speckle compared to kpop stars, but at least you are playing your part to make asian the cool and respected race worldwide. We asians need to unite to overtake white dominance worldwide.

    so about the hot water and cold water thing. We do a similar thing at home when making roti or paratha. Rotis are exclusively made with hot water. I think it has something to do with the texture. Typically it makes the roti a bit more lighter. Conversely, cold water makes the paratha more flaky.

    Since the dumpling will be steamed I think its to make the dumpling skin feel like its not there.

    Again, biryani review, you're gonna love it.

    There was (and hopefully still is) a fantastic Filipino restaurant in Edinburgh that sold approx 8" diameter Siopao which was approximately 2/3 of my meals while I was a student there.
