As for the ShaoXing wine, try to get the ShaoXing ‘drinking’ wine like 女兒红 加饭 花雕, which require a driver license to buy. The ShaoXing cooking wine, usually labeled 绍兴料酒, has a significant amount of salt in it. This can through off your seasoning and lacks fragrance.
The drinking wine can be found where the Sake is in some Chinese markets.
I'm still trying to find black vinegar.
I love the videos. Chinese cooking is so much simpler than I would've thought and these make it so approachable. Thanks!
Thanks, you answered one question I have. Dark Vinegar, help, what is it and any subs for it?
I confess I never considered using potato starch for wok deep frying. I will have to try that.
Love you two! Okay: I have (horrible) glasstop stove. I hate it… does not get hot enough. So… I am thinking of buying a counter-top gas unit just for wok cooking. QUESTION: Could you compare these units and suggest the best, low-cost flame?
The Shaoxing wine I bought on Amazon is very salty. Is this normal?
Wonderful series! I've enjoyed this so much. Hope it continues
I enjoy this series. My spouse is Chinese, and considers herself an expert cook (of course!). I'm not expert at anything, but I enjoy cooking, and learning new things. Thank you!
This was SO helpful😀😀😀. Please do more.
A quick episode idea, an "Equipment Review" or "Gadget Guide/Review " for Chinese cooking would be awesome. I had no idea there was such a thing as a flat walk. Keep the info coming 😉.
Investing in crypto now should be on every wise individual's list, in some month's time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
I would add that dark soy sauce adds a bit of body to dishes, as well as color. Also, by definition, it's meant for cooking, not as a dip or seasoning.

Do you have a recipe for orange cuttlefish?
Do you have a recipe for orange cuttlefish?
I'm really hoping that this question segment can be done each week. Yes! 😃
Great tips thank you
Whoa!!…Where have YOU been all my life?! (Okay…that was my version of sarcastic flattery but nice segment! Kudos!
More of this please!
You guys really rock it!! Love the straight forward advice on Chinese coolking. I bought J Kenji Alt Lopez's book on wok cooking and follow his and your recipes for making great dishes. Keep up the good work. ATK should be very proud to have you guys.
Nice 👌
glass top stove friends: take your wok outside and put it on the grill! Works great for me.
Great video! Helpful, quick and to the point. Thank you!
Don't laugh at this question… LOL – Is there a way to cut out sodium from Chinese dishes? I love Chinese food, but want to eat less sodium.
Oooh so glad you're on!!! Too short!!!!!!
really enjoyed that video!
How do I learn to balance Chinese sauces?
Hoisin, oyster, dark soy, Shaohsing wine, fermented black bean … my Chinese food always tastes weird
How much of a difference is there between "Chinese-American" food and "authentic" Chinese cooking? How can you tell, and how much does it matter?
Thank you so much formthe clarification on light & dark soy sauce and the differences in flavor profile. I had a recioe that called for dark and I couldn't find it in my area. I did find it on Amazon, but decided not to buy it because I thought it would be way saltier than light soy. With hypertension and a low tolerance for sodium, I really have to watch my sodium level. I might just try the dark soy now!
thank you so much,
i have a "strange" question if u dont mind,
what is the ruling of calling some1 chinese – who is born and raised in different country but follow chinese culture, much.
Awesome video. I would be curious on what chopsticks you recommended for home? The plastic ones are so so and the wood ones with a finish aren’t great. The cheaper ones you get with takeout seem to work the best. There are too many options online.
“Hunger Pangs” is a great addition to the TK roster! I especially love these chefs, they are very good Teachers.
Very insightful, thanks! Please keep these Q/As going!!!
GF flour. There are a number of different brands making GF flour. Rice flours are also an option
I love to cook Chinese-inspired simple dishes like fried rice and stir-fry noodles, please keep making these videos!
This was a very educational video. Thank you!
I thought it was pronounced General Dao
Where's Dad? 😂
Do you have any advice on how to make sure ingredients imported from China are not old and reduced in quality? I have had some bad luck with ordering from 3rd party sellers on Amazon, an the ingredients have lost their freshness because they are too old. I try to go to Asian grocers whenever I can, but I don't have many near me.
Great segment again! Thx
Hi Kevin 👋. I really enjoy watching you and your father cooking. I happen to really like Hot and sour soup and when I saw your Chinese hot and sour soup video I knew I had to try it! I was not disappointed, it turned out delicious and so full of unami flavor! Thank you for sharing your videos and love for cooking! See you next time.
ATK, PANGS, HELLO, nice idea for help, dry Sherry, is my substitute, I can find all sorts of JAPANESE wines, but no CHINESE, THANKS,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
