@ Island Pearl73 You did make the fish powder and it does enhance other foods?! No "fish" taste, either... The entire process is amazing and as a natural food enhancer... How long did it take you? Did or do you grind the bones with it? (I forgot). The Chinese have the oldest written records man can go to for recorded weather, history. Can't knock it if it works and you're happy with it!

Your shows help in ways you probably do not anticipate. I am old, ugly, and at my age somewhat usless, yet I am not dead yet. So what do I do until I am. I support technology, retailers, cable companies, grocery stores, seed catalogs, soil improvments, and to some degree, kitchen gardening when people drive by and see my garden, all because of you. You even make me glad to be alive when I see and hear you. You are so completely adorable and cute. As for the actual recipes, I never will follow them directly. But today for example I see how I can remove the foam from boiled food (I boil often and used to dispose of the water and add fresh water to season). I must buy more strainers, all I have is a colander. I feel inspired to garnish with my home grown chard even though I do not grow Chinese cabbage. Actually, sometimes I just enjoy your videos for the pure pleasure of looking at you, listening to you, and joining in your excitement about food. Thank you from an old guy.

@fussyrenovator7551 2 года назад

@ArionRDAW 4 года назад

If you order wonton noodle soup in China and Hong Kong, you literally would just get wonton, noodles and soup. However, if you order it in Malaysia or Singapore, you would usually find wantan mee which is the 'dry' version: noodles tossed in dark soy sauce with choy sum (Chinese flowering cabbage), sliced char siew (Chinese BBQ Pork) with the wontons served separately in another bowl of broth. Anthony Bourdain was said to have enjoyed the dish in Penang, Malaysia.

@kevink9397 4 года назад

I finally committed to giving this recipe a whirl! Unfortunately, the two oriental grocery stores near me have not heard of "fish" or "flounder" powder. And due to regulations in the north east, the flounder season has ended and a flounder that sized in this region would be too small to keep anyway. So I substituted Hondashi for the fish powder. No matter, this recipe is simply incredible! I wish that I could post pictures because this meal is just beyond wonderful! I thought about putting bonito flakes in a spice grinder as a better substitute for fish powder - your thoughts?
