This was honestly such a horrible lesson on cooking. NO REAL Asian chef would EVER press down on meat to get a sear. That's not even amateur. That's idiotic. You let the wok hay speak for itself to get the Maillard reaction. By keeping veggies in with meat at the same time, your taking away heat from searing the meat. Again, lazy and amateurish. I can't speak for the recipe itself since I haven't tried it but for the love of Asian cooking, please stop teaching people to press down on meat. Wtf???

[@westernrider100]

Hey Jeremy, some time ago, you mentioned in a video that you use the cleaver for almost everything. That got me to thinking because my one of my knife sets which is over 20 years old has a cleaver. And I have never used. So that night, I tried it. Since then, it is practically the only knife I've used for my kitchen duties. Now I'm down to the cleaver and a smaller utility knife so both of my knife sets sit almost totally ignored. Seriously, the cleaver does great on garlic and ginger, to slicing chicken breast, and makes a great scraper. And it stays sharp! Many thanks for your few minutes that you spent talking about that implement.

[@SchoolofWok]

Cleavers are excellent! Super versatile! - Lee

[@msoledad7067]

Yo mate a bit suggestion here, try to handle a cleaver with a different technic might be better. The furthest part away from hand is for chopping regular veges or meat, the middle part is for slicing horizontally and the part nearest to your hand is for cut the bones or some hard pieces of stuff.

[@westernrider100]

Jeremy and Lee, two of the most important tips I have learned from you are the Wok Clock and getting the wok really hot. I finally got a cooktop with a wok burner at 22 000 BTUs so not only to I get good heat but also a fast recovery time. Thanks so much for your great demonstrations!

Yes you know your culinary dishes(after all you're Asian), but big deal, every KZbin cooker knows their recipes, but what sets you apart from sooooo many other chefs (I almost said cooks) is your ability to narrate. You have a great talent to reach down deep inside and teach us westerners the inspiration of Asian cuisine. The methodology, the inspiration, the feeling behind it all is incredible. You are sooo young yet so very gifted and most importantly your approach so very strongly conveys your LOVE of sharing Asian cooking to westerners. Thanks so much.

I love your cooking demos and techniques, especially the one about adding a bit of water to deglaze the wok and transfer additional wok hei into fried rice and noodles. I have also been adding a bit of water when cooking large batches of sliced/diced chicken or pork, which I can bag and freeze for later use in quick small batches of fried rice or noodles, instant noodles and such. I use a high pressure outdoor propane wok burner and find that after an initial lower heat sear to separate the raw protein, a brief medium heat to get a good sear without burning-over-charring to half cook the center of the protein, then add some water and briefly finish on full heat without burning/ causing the meat to stick to the wok as the water semi poaches the center to a very moist doneness with excellent wok hei. Cheers!

[@chapcat54]

I just made this recipe, and I wanted to say that it was very delicious. I made it exactly as shown, with one exception which I will get to shortly. The flavors that washed over my tongue were complex, but nicely balanced between sweet and salty. I did make one mistake that I will not make in the future. I could not find the birds eye chili, so I substituted two serrano chilis, and an habanero chili I had on had that I did not want to waste. With the Szechuan peppercorns, 5 dried Thai red chilis, the spicy Pixian bean paste, the serranos, and especially the habanero, I had a five alarm fire in my mouth. It was the spiciest dish I have ever eaten. I survived, but I think I will go with just the one birds eye, jalapeno or serrano chili next time along with the other spicy ingredients.

[@fredkapp498]

That's alot of spice I cut up 6 red dried chili's and teaspoon szechwan peppercorns and teaspoon sambai was more than enough for me Iike spicy but too hot can't do

It was too hot for me. I don't understand how you can even put more than one dried chilli peppers in it.

One serrano is a good sub for two birds eyes. That habanero was waaaay past too much. Honestly, the only real use I've found for them is for marinades. They're just too hot to actually eat.

Great tutorial. Most of all because you're cooking on electric and not some very expensive gas stove with a wok burner like you see in most videos but almost nobody has in their home. In my country cooking on gas is very expensive so a lot of people switched to cooking on electric. You also use what looks like an affordable wok and not some crazy expensive one and simple affordable ingredients everybody can buy in their local supermarket. I can do this on my stand alone one zone induction plate with my 'cheap' wok. Great and I love it.

[@porkulate]

Jeremy, your recipe looks both amazing and delicious! I will definitely give this a try in my kitchen at home or out on my back deck on a portable LPG burner because of the high smoke aspect involved in its cooking. I wonder however, if you can recommend something as an appropriate substitute ingredient for the Chinese Cooking Wine in the marinade. I do not care to consume anything with alcohol in it so it would be nice to have a kind of 'go to' and reliable and predictable substitute ingredient to use in its place. Thank you in advance and for sharing your amazing culinary skills and inspiration as well. Cheers!

@@SchoolofWok Thanks Lee.

[@joshevans3452]

You dont really get any of the alcohol when you add the sauce in a screaming hot wok. If you are really concerned, keep the cooking wine separate and add it just before the rest of the liquid ingredients. The high heat will flash off the alcohol (even though you dont see a flame). I regularly make peppercorn demi glace sauce for steak with scotch or brandy as a flavoring that my 4 year old eats but I add it to a hot pan and cook off the alcohol first (I would not actually let my son imbibe) then add demi glaceand cream.

That friend of yours must be joking with you. Sichuanese cuisine is full of chicken dishes (definitely more than their duck dishes). Sure, the one shown in this video isn't one of them (I'm sure it's nice, but just not Sichuanese). But, by saying people in Sichuan only eat duck but not chicken is a bit like saying people from Canton only eat prawn but not crab...

[@lovice]

Thanks for your reply. The answer is ‘no’. Sichuan being one of China’s biggest, most populated and richest in history provinces, different cities and counties all have their very own style chicken dishes. Not just one chicken dish per county either, each county/city has dozens of chicken dishes from boiled, steamed, stir fried with bone and skin, stir fried without bone or skin, slowly stewed, quickly blanched... Then there are over 200 counties/cities in the province, that isn’t even counting the municipality city of Chongqing formally the second city of Sichuan. There isn’t a dish called French Chicken in France, and there isn’t a dish called Sichuan Chicken in Sichuan either...

[@khaleefax9553]

@@lovice Which kinda proves my point. If I spend $2000 to buy a ticket from JFK to China, and then travel to Sichuan, to step into a local restaurant, and order a "Sichuan Chicken", they will look at me as Papa Smurf. So, this Americanized, hot favorite Chinese dish called "Szechuan Chicken" actually does not exist in China.

[@lovice]

@@khaleefax9553 True, but that will happen in your local Sichuanese restaurant too. I'm sue there are a few authentic ones in NY now, as we have quite a few Chinese restaurants specialise in Sichuan cuisine in the UK. So, the easiest way to choose the 'correct' Chinese restaurant inside China or not, is by asking where the head chef comes from. Because Chinese cuisines are very regional. Unless you grow up in the region, trained as a chef in the region and cooked professionally in the region, doesn't matter if you are the greatest chef from another region of China, you are nothing as far as people in this region concern.

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

I'm surprised about the prepping of the ground szechuan peppercorn. I was taught to lightly roast first, then pound out, then sift through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the husks. Also, you're not really going to get wok hay from an induction stove. I'd also suggest chopping your pixian bean paste since it usually comes with large pieces of beans. Both Kenji Lopez and Fuschia Dunlop suggest likewise. Gotta say...I had to rewind to that prepping of the red bell pepper (capsicum) a few times - that was like magic!

Yes ..I found the wok i really need ....no more ladle soup while frying noodle...I hate using two ladle for stir fry

"Slightly western" Lol

[@souravsingha1363]

how come the one clove of garlic is bigger than my whole garlic ?

[@BigBoiTurboslav]

Depends on the type and country it's grown in

[@SchoolofWok]

We get huge bulbs of garlic at the school! - Lee

[@brandon3872]

It mainly depends on the variety of garlic, adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.

Thanks for the great recipes. I cooked it right away, wonderful spiciness and so sweet. I will definitely be back for the next videos. Best regards from Austria.

1:31 your cutting motion is against the blade's build I love that recipe

[@zheli91]

As a native Chinese I have to say this is not the really Sichuan chicken, but just like all the dishes from all the normal Chinese IMBIS or cheap restaurant in Europe or in USA, a kind of mixed, not a real chines will like it

[@quadpumped34]

what would a real chinese like to do differently in this recipe?

[@eric360elite]

@@quadpumped34 Basically, he makes it way too sweet by adding sweet pepper, oyster sauce and sugar in that dish. First, we prepare a mixture of dry chilly pepper, white pepper and shichuan pepper DEEP FRY it as a 'topping'. Soak the chicken in hot oil for a while, add the chilly bean sauce and other ingredients together, stir fry them and add salt, fresh chilly pepper, vegetables and finish off with a spoon of yellow rice wine. Oh, and we don't marinate the chicken with sauce.....only egg white, salt and flour. Hopefully this may help :)

Nice to see you use the induction stovetop instead of the gas burner, showing that it is in fact possible to make good stir fry on induction

[@platoonutzeyz88]

When he said that this is a westernized dish, he's wrong. This IS a western dish just like Chicken Tiki Masala is a western dish.

[@devsadvoc]

So by your logic, a Mexican dish developed by a Mexican living in China would be a Chinese dish? The CTM originated in Punjab. Even if you take the popular narrative, the CTM was an Indian style curry developed by a person from the subcontinent in Britain. That logic still doesn't make it a Western dish. theculturetrip.com/europe/united-kingdom/scotland/articles/a-brief-history-of-chicken-tikka-masala/

[@MakeItKitchen]

Totally agree on that

[@oaka5639]

I don’t trust this asian dish, it has british accent

Racist.

[@bigrich6750]

Fantastic! Thank you! I think I noticed you were cooking on an electric stove. I was glad to see that. I’ve refrained from wok cooking because I thought one had to have real fire under the wok to do it right, but I have only electric, so this is encouraging.

[@SchoolofWok]

It's all about controlling your heat, we use a mix of electric, induction and fire for our videos! - Chris

[@MTB_Rider_96]

interesting. I use the same basic ingredients (except I also use minced ginger root), but I start with oil, garlic & ginger for 5 seconds, than the marinated chicken till cooked through and a bit caramelized, remove the chicken - then do the veggies, add back in the chicken, then add in the sauce. It's all good!

[@Raachen]

That's exactly my kind of "a little bit of garlic" 😄❤️ makes eveey food taste better!!! Thanks for the video!

[@SebastianSipos]

my kind of stir fry!!! I'm gonna have to up my game with some finishing moves - anything more than plain old soy sauce. I don't have hot pepper + beans paste, but we do have Erös pista (~sriracha) around these parts of the world. all neighbors need to know you're cooking and slightly burning food at 11 PM ♥️

[@YSColin]

As a Chinese, I have to say this is a very nice British dish…

placing your ingredients in a "clock form" is amazing, I never would've thought of it.

Nope, I’m gonna start with every hot chili pepper that I can find and make this mind blowing destructive. 😛

[@speedstar1988]

Awesome 😎 keep it up the great work (WOK) 👍🏻

[@scotty193]

Knife skills are amazing. I have always considered buying a medium sized cleaver style knife and now I am convinced it would be the main knife for me in the kitchen. The dish itself so simple but lip smacking good.

[@SchoolofWok]

I use my cleaver for everything haha, it's a great knife to have! - Lee
