The 'prosciutto' or 'ham' thing is called 火腿(huó tǔi), it has been seen in Chinese history since 3500 BCE, it not has to be legs of pork when it just started. it was just a preserve method for fresh pork. It often be eaten in salt rich area, cured and aged. However, not until Tang Dynasty (700CE), there start to be written historical literature shows trends to use only the back legs of pork to make this type of preserved meat. It used very often in Chinese cooking but most of them are used for making cooking broth by the method called'吊汤', not directly consumed due to its high salt content. Only high quality ones can be used for direct consumptions, some of them can also be eaten raw. Such as ham from 金华（jīn huá)，宣威(xuān wēi)，如皋(rú gāo) area. Due to the high price, it only show up in high-end dishes and it is almost non existing outside of China and surrounding area. To find those in western countries is nearly impossible. Some Chinese people do make them from scratch and sell them in western countries but the quality and authenticity are very questionable. From recorded historical point, ham like meat were just invented simultaneously in different cultures... I mean, use salt to preserve the largest piece of meat from a pig is really not that hard to come up with...

[@KN-zi4bl]

I’ve been living in Zhejiang for a long time, and I can say that 金华火腿 is WAY too salty to eat directly. The price (for the whole leg) is usually anywhere between 300-1000 CNY, can be found in local grocery stores or supermarkets. I personally used it for soups. Tastes amazing.

[@Rebuswind]

@@KN-zi4bl my bad, when I say directly eat it, I didn't mean eat it as it is, I mean putting it in a dish instead of throwing it away after making broth which is often done in restaurants. 金华火腿has different part at well, the closer to the bone, the less salty it gets, the very close part to bone can be eaten raw and it is not that salty. However, it is a super small portion and I think you can only get it when you buy the entire leg...

[@littlewishy6432]

Just fixing your Pinyin a little… 火腿 huǒtuǐ 宣威 xuānwēi

[@Rebuswind]

@@littlewishy6432 thank, the reason I put huó instead of huǒ is due to the rule of when put multiple third tone together, only the last one pronounce as third tone and every word before it will be pronounced as second tone. It will be 火huǒ焰yàn, but it is 火huó 腿tǔi. Same with 女nǘ主zhǔ人rén and 女nǚ 孩hái 子zi. However, I did made a mistake on xuān, no idea what happens there. Thanks.

[@littlewishy6432]

@@Rebuswind I know about the 3rd tone change rule. However, that's not supposed to affect the way it's written. Even though huǒ is pronounced huó here, it's still written as huǒtuǐ.

[@Sharon46T]

I like Frenchie trying to argue against peas being an official ingredient 😂

[@LogicalNiko]

I love Paul's arguing that you don't need to put an ingredient in that is on the countries officially adopted standard for the dish.... this from someone who is a french chef, where France has a massive amount of rules upon what is allowed to be called certain names based upon the list of ingredients.

[@joshthecellist]

chef Wang Gang is so incredible. So far my favorite video of is was him butchering/preparing an entire alligator. His technique is also just... unparalleled.

[@ravnjokr]

oh yea! one alligator into six dishes and one soup. feed the whole family. 😁

[@MrYungfras]

Chef Brian talking to Chef Paul like he's a child and Frenchie giving the child answer when seeing the peas made the whole video that much more awesome. 🤣

[@Del-Lebo]

Freaking fascinating methods and product. When I was a very young 11-12 year old I started Knife skills with Asian, French, Cuban and Mexican training. That was WAY before the internet. I had friends who's parents were highly trained cooks! (Not chefs BTW) And the Cuban part...My Abuelo, Abuelas, and 3 Tias!!!! I love to cook and I am 57 years old!!! I Quit my management job 2 years ago to be a QSR cook. No stress!!! And cooking with love for 32 hours a week is just what I need till I retire at 62!!! Loved this video!

[@jasonsu9550]

8:46 the oil thur is make sure food dont stuck on the net/stop oil from jumping when u put in the wok.. is an habit like the older chefs we all know when the fire went out sometimes cooking we just throw pinch sugar into bottom to lit the fire

[@TruBluYahoo]

[@batslav]

[@mestresuzuka]

Nice video! Now I wanna see Chef Paul reacting to people doing french recipes!

[@KaiserAfini]

10:00 Reminds me of Fios d'Ovos, a popular dessert in Portugal and Brasil, but the main difference is that version incorporates a lot of sugar.

[@Commonwealth_Imperium]

In fact the terms Salads, Salary and Salami came from Salarium which was salt rations given to Roman Legionnaires as part of payment.

[@tamninja]

To be fair, the Yang Chou Fired Rice has a government enforced recipe that if a restaurant doesn't follow it to the words, they are prohibited to be called Yang Chou Fried Rice. What Wang showing here is like he mentioned in the video, the offical way to make this dish according to the government guideline.

Prscutio exist all around, we in the Balkans call it pršut or pršuta, the best is where mountains meet sea, due to a specific air for natural curing. Difference is we smoke it 1st unlike say Italians that just cure it. It amazing how flavor is completely different then bacon

[@namelesssomebody2557]

Chef Wang's egg floss technique is always beautiful to watch

[@dadalorian99]

Love the video guys. Cant wait to see more of you guys cooking.

[@catherinejones5807]

I’ve wanted you to react to this Chef Wang Gang video for quite some time. The amazing knife skills creating the uniform tiny dice of the ingredients and the thin threads of egg in the fried rice is magnificent. Before you completely abandon egg fried rice, please, please, please react to Uncle Roger’s reaction to Chef Motokichi’s Omurice video. It’s a different, French style fried rice. Chef Motokichi is a master. I think you will find it interesting.

[@professorbutters]

Second on that! I was trying to remember what it was: just “Uncle Roger reacts to something nice for a change.” And it would be great to hear Frenchie on the omelet part.

[@LogicalNiko]

We have found definite signs of domesticated pigs as a dietary source carbon dated to about 10,000 BC in Mesopotamia and 9000 BC in China. These were different enough genetically that it's believed they are independent of eachother. Salt preservation of pork dates back to about 5,000 BC. And from pretty much that point onward you preserved aged pork in China. In historic China it was more often to see pork bellies being saved for preservation and aging versus the legs (but obviously at points I'm sure people preserved every part of the animal). You can probably debate all day long if the Sardinian people in the Mediterranean or the Yangshao people of China had more salt aged pork in their culture. I doubt there would be any real way to settle that debate. We know both did it, did a lot of it, and eventually both spread that throughout Europe and Asia respectively.

[@Kenshinhugo]

In terms of cross contamination of cultures a big part of today's food is highly based on the trade happening on the silk road and by ship. Most chilies and other vegetables came to china from SA via Spain(silk road) or Portugal(sea route). Before these times all of Asia were mostly using peppers in their cuisine(hence the word black gold for pepper)

[@Sniperboy5551]

Yeah, it’s kind of crazy to imagine what Indian food was like prior to the Columbian Exchange.

[@exzyle2k]

Brian's thinking is this... If the dish has peas, then he makes Frenchy watch it. At this point, it's a given. And I am fully onboard, because I love peas.

[@SailorBorshaIsMovieMoses]

Croatia is also known for its prosciutto, kulen, vines, and olive oils. We're a small country, so not many people are aware, but we're there. And it's the best.

[@aaronbaron3155]

6:05 try country style ham the way they do it down south. It goes great w fried rice

[@willjohnson8446]

Barrels of salted pork were how sailors were fed for centuries. It makes sense that folks all over the world would either figure out how to do so themselves or were exposed to it from foreign sailors.

[@ApplePotato]

Chinese Ham/Prosciutto is very salty and flavour is very strong. So usually in Chinese cuisine it is used in similar way as garlic or ginger where we add a little to the dish. Sometimes we put it in soups as well. But it is never served alone on its own.

[@susanmaguire]

He got in trouble with the Chinese government by publishing a fried rice video on anniversary of the death of some general. The general supposedly died because during a war, the canteen chef made fried rice, the smoke giving away their location to the enemy. Wang Gang had to apologize for insulting the memory of whoever the hell died. Look it up. I don't recall all the details.

In Czechia we have a "rizoto" (considered an abomination by traditional risotto nomenclature) being a food that quite a lot resembles some kind of recipe like this (definitely more than the Italian risotto).
