As a Malaysian - this brings tears of joy to my eyes. Any chance the channel would consider creating a 'Bak Kut Teh' dish?

[@SchoolofWok]

I'll add it to our suggestions list! - Lee

[@brokenrecord8452]

As a Malaysian you should know char kueh teow doesn’t use chilli bean paste 😅

[@aloh2056]

You need to get the right herbs for that. It’s pretty simple to cook. I usually use the dried fresh herbs, add a small amount of dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, some Vietnamese mushroom seasoning to add the umami flavor, I use an instant pot to speed up cooking process or on the stove top works fine too.

[@davidfuh9079]

I was both amazed and amused by the sequence he added the ingredients to the wok, At the same time, I knew the end result would be great.

[@tommysimmonds]

Everyone really must to try this amazing noodle dish in Penang, Malaysia!!

A suggestion.. A list of ingredients at the start of the video. Either way, good videos and great recipes 👍

[@louisetizon5758]

Came here because I can't stop thinking about the fried kway teow I had in Lau Pa Sat in Singapore. The oyster flavor is such a delightful surprise.

[@scottmcintire8634]

Perhaps a bit of nuoc mam fish sauce (Vietnamese Red Boat brand preferred, as it is only anchovies from Phu Quoc Island and sea salt, no sugar or preservatives) instead of salt to the ketsap manis for a bit more umami? My rice noodles always break, so I will try your technique. Thanks for posting!

[@ashwinigamre964]

Thanks Lee. Very well explained in detailed on how one should use Wok. Surely will try this stir fry soon.. 🙏🙏

Jeremy is the chef in the video, I'm just the person who replies to comments and edits the videos! - Lee

[@Dynasty1818]

I lived in KL in the early-mid 90s as a kid, and this was my dish. It has such a charred, smoky flavour mixed with a sort of chow mein as well. UGH. I miss it SO MUCH. I've had it in some places here in the UK and it absolutely is not the same as being done in a makeshift stand by the roadside in Bangsar.

[@SchoolofWok]

You can’t beat the food from places like that, it’s the best! - Lee

[@speakp4ngolin]

From selangor - living in the US now. Really cant find it here :')

7:50 That's the point where my smoke alarm is screaming at me and I'm opening all the doors and windows.

[@Trailtraveller]

Try different kinds of sambal, like ulek (salty) or badjak (softer with union), it changes the flavour surprisingly

[@patricklackner6143]

Ohhhh sweet mama, i need this dish in my life.

[@SchoolofWok]

Yeah you do! - Lee

[@ianwoo263]

Thank you Jeremy for the video highlighting on wok heat and quick stirring which is so important in this dish. I realised there is no chopped garlic? I would have thought it goes in together with the chives? Maybe that only happens in Singapore?

[@stever456]

Amazing Jeremy and guys! Cooked this last night and was so tasty with a little warmth. Like I’ve said before I’ve been able to learn how to cook these with the great simply detailed videos. I’m glad I can support this business as I can see these videos have been created for years and accessed for free. Yummy!!

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad to hear it, Steve! Thank you for your support!

[@lyravain6304]

When using rice noodles, my biggest issue is usually separating them after adding them to the dish. Will try your suggestion (soak in cold then quick blanche). Unfortunately, I don't have a wok (darned electrical stoves!) but I'm hoping for the best.

[@SchoolofWok]

I hope it comes out well for you! - Lee

[@handmadezebra]

Keep it up! thanks for the great recipes!

[@markwong85]

Question: I'm curious to know why you put the Chinese chives in first? I thought they usually go in mid-way or towards the end, usually same time as the beansprouts.

[@gray_rain]

Question: He says that the “tummy and the head” is one of the methods for cooling and moving the air. But he says the dish didn’t need it at that moment. What determines if what you’re cooking calls for that technique over the other ones shown?

[@joshster94]

Commenting for updates. Would like to know as well.

[@newvillagefilms]

It's not about what you're cooking, it's about what's happening to what you're cooking like If it starts burning your ingredients.

[@munerahmohamed2846]

Hi chef....wat sambal do.i use...I hv many varieties at home..are you using dried cilies blended sambal or fresh cilies blended only..cos different sambal will certainly give a different flavour to it..and there is no need for dark black soy sos..? ...😁

What’s this ketchup mayonnaise? Have seen something called sweet soy sauce at my Asian grocer. Is that the one?

[@johndough8219]

I was wondering the same thing. Never heard of this before.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Tjin-Kon-Foek Marcia thanks 🙏🏽

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Schatzi sounds yum 😋. Noting it down and will surely search for it. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@yingx4139]

It's kecap manis and it's known as sweet soy sauce in English. A common brand I always see in Asian grocery in western countries is ABC kecap manis

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

@@yingx4139 right, I am talking about the ABC brand too, but it has only sugar, soy beans in it, no ketchup or mayonnaise. Saw ABC brand sweet sauce at my Asian grocery market.

[@stever456]

Hi Jeremy, just a question about ingredients. As ive been learning and done this dish many times so gaining some experience i thought i would venture out and have a look at some other recipes. I have noticed that a common theme is to have Chinese sausage, fish cake both sliced and some garlic as well as a different selection for the sauce but im not tracking all that. I was just wondering if you think its a good idea to try the 3 mentioned ingredients to your recipe? I dont want to ruin it or add the wrong things and over complicate it. Thanks

[@SchoolofWok]

You can always give it a go and see what works! I think it would be pretty nice!
