    I was searching for beef brisket and found your channel, I have waited so long for someone to make this particular dish. My favourite is with lop cheung ( Chinese sausage). I have access to T and T online but can’t seem to find the Chou sauce from Lee Kum Kee. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi Flo, thanks for the memories, my chinese grandfather did all of the cooking when we were growing up and like you, our dinners always consisted of 3-4 dishes(including a soup) We all loved the pork patties and would mix it into our rice and put a spoonful of the mix on a lettuce leaf. I have made a number of your recipes and my family loved all of them. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Flo, enjoy your videos. The controversy on stirring can be resolved by Dude. Make two pork paddy’s each stirred differently, then see which one tastes better, or consistency is more preferred. You can blindfold Dude. This will be interesting.

    So craving this now! I asked my sister to get me some mui-choy the next time she’s in Chinatown… She asked me “sweet” or “salty”. Are there different kinds?

    Preservatives can destroy your gastrointestinal track's microbiome. This can lead to poor digestive health problems. These micro flora do all of the digestion of your food. I had a biochemistry instructor that put in prospective best, "if you have no micro flora in your intestinal track it would take 100 years to digest your food for the meal".

    My mom used to add mui choy to leftover meats the next day and make a braised dish out of it. I'm also intimidated, but after watching your video I'm inspired to give it a try!

    Hi Flo. I’ve made this a few times but have never tried it with mui choy and I’m not sure why.
    The only extra ingredient I add to my version is 1 tablespoon of rice size chopped ginger. Mui choy is now on my grocery list for next time I go to an asian super market. Thanks!

    Mu family uses chung choi (salt preserved turnip) and dried squid, both chopped and mixed with the ground pork, sometimes steamed with preserved salted fish in oil in a small plate on top of the pork. Years ago when my grandmother cooked this, the smell of the steaming fish would drive my brother out of the house.

    Thanks for the recipe, Flo! 🙏🏻 This is slightly different from what my mom taught me. She likes to use sweet mui-choy and add water to the pork when marinating it to make it less dense. Thanks for giving me the idea of pressure-cooking it as we usually steam it and maybe that's why the pork could be a little hard afterwards. 👍🏻

    Thanks for sharing a childhood favorite. I have never heard of this item.
    When I grew up we had turnip greens with a dash of vinegar. It sounds strange to most people but it takes me back to my childhood.
