    Excellent, I made the Cantonese superior and it worked exceptional well, the result is a aromatic clear stock without any need for clarification, I will still do the meat paste to infuse even more flavour. Perfect also for making a quick egg drop soup which my wife Jen loves so much.

    This is why you need a big dog; with my rottweiler there's no need to try and think about how I'll use the mostly flavorless meat or any inedible scraps and bones. A working dog breed like a rottweiler will eat anything, a brief list of my dogs favorite "snacks": grass, meat scraps, egg shells, bones, chili peppers, vegetables, toe nail clippings, raspberries, blueberries, kimchi, chicken poop, thai curry, and sticky rice are all equally delicious to her.

    Idk which stock i had but i ordered a noodle soup in China and it basically tasted like water lol not surprising as Chinese have been known to sip plain hot water, no tea or anything lol

    So basically, Chinese people are the most sophisticated and complicated persons because their Chinese characters and soup are all really sophisticated and complicated. Ok. They think a lot. Westerners go for fresh and curiosity. Easterners go for pickle and content. But rich westerners go for tradition and rich easterners go for modern.

    I keep coming back and back to this video and the wow factor never goes away. Thanks for sharing your expertise, talent, consistency and will. Much love from (somewhere I can hardly get most of the stuff you have) Argentina. Keep it up, you make my quarantine feel less stressful.

    Ten minutes of running water is a lot of water down the drain IMO. What my family does is to boil pork bones and pork and as soon as it is boiled, pour out the water and the add water and start again, and the soup is clearer afterwards with less of the porky smell.

    Hi I just made stock this morning. I would like to turn it into a master stock, like the restaurants that just add into the pot more and more ingredients. I've been reading that bacteria and botulism is killed by boiling for a considerable time. I have 2 questions.
    Can I keep the stock on the stove (without refrigeration or freezing) and boil it every morning?
    Or is refrigeration and / or freezing necessary every day?

    I absolutely love you folks! I am an old [73] retired USAF First Sergeant (and former Chinese interpreter) who has spent a few years in the Far East (lo those 35 years ago). I have maintained my fluency in the language and even tutor some young folks from time to time. I really appreciate your format; especially your correct pronunciation of the Chinese and your knowledge of the various regions and the styles of cuisines therein. Many thanks to you both!

    Yes! I am so glad someone finally got around to doing this sort of channel. Excellent video and explanation of the various stocks. Plus I love that you show how to make pork floss from the leftover meat. I always wondered how that was made.

    This is one of those recipes that give justice to the word demystified. The pork and chicken paste absorbing impurities is indeed a revelation.

    Pig Floss (or Pork Floss) may sound gross but it is actually super delicious and goes well as a topping on butter and toast and as a snack on its own!
