[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

soundbombing That works well too. Thanks for the tip!

I watched another video and now I'm subscribed. Show cooking saltfish, dahl and rice :)

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Thanks for watching and subscribing bro. I have saltfish and dhal recipes already on my channel.

[@justinmohan7103]

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 I searched and found fried saltfish. I guess I wanna know how to prepare saltfish. Do i boil it or leave it overnight

[@truecauseofchaos]

Looks great! My parents are Guyanese and the main difference with their recipe is they use Casreep instead of Soy Sauce, and they put a little tomato puree in when frying the chicken.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Thank you for watching and enjoying! And yes you can definitely make it that way. I’ve used the different ingredients before

[@spicyhot1695]

I make my own a little different; I add broccoli, chow mein sauce, casareep, and one, 6-Star Anise; these adition makes it very flavourful!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Doonwati Singh I would usually add the casareep as well but I didnt have access to some at the time.

[@skinnydee1886]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking You're a very good cook. I only come across your channel a few minutes ago. I like to cook, and I make many types of food, so I'm always looking for different recipes to try. I know I'll have to try a few of your dishes, and when I do, I'll certainly let you know. Good job again, and Good bless you!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Doonwati Singh Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy whichever recipes you try out.

[@superiorgundam]

What's the name of the stainless steel looking pot that you're using? I notice alot of other Trini/Guyanese channels use it and I'm trying to find out what the material and/or brand name of it's called. Thanks!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

ChuChuX6 We call it a carahee. It is made out of aluminum (you can find it in other materials I believe). This brand is Caldero. And they can be found at Walmart, Target, Sedanos, online, and any West Indian Store.

[@superiorgundam]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking Awesome thanks. Also I've heard of some Guyanese Chinese dishes using cassareep, is there a particular reason for that and if you recommend it, what's the best brand? Thanks again

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

ChuChuX6 Casareep is mainly used for giving a dish color (we use it in stews/rice dishes/chowmein/etc). And I use the homemade one from Guyana. I have never used a brand from the stores, but I do recommend it for cooking so you can find a brand that you like.

[@mohamedrahaman9238]

Looks like cast iron to me. Most guyanese use cast iron (carahee). A nice wok will also do the job well. In Guyana sesame oil and bell peppers are not used. ..at least not traditionally.

[@mohamedrahaman9238]

@@superiorgundam casareep is made from cassava (yuca). It has a unique flavor and adds color (brown/dark) to the dish. Many Guyanese get the "good" casareep that comes from the interior regions of Guyana. The Guyana and Caribbean markets should carry casareep. No particular brand. Read the label to make sure it's not just burnt sugar.

[@ivettes5330]

Can you let me how long to boil the chow mein? I either overcook or undercook. Never perfect

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I usually go for 8-10 minutes depending on the brand

I would like to have some

Go ahead and give it a try 😊

[@Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect]

This looks like it has SOOOO much flavor! I'm definitely trying this next since I have chow mein noodles in the cupboard. The older Guyanese Chow Mein recipes on KZbin never quite did it for me, but this 😝

Did that not hurt you !?😳

[@melid17]

What brand of noodles did you use? Looks very tasty.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

melid17 I used Lam's Chowmein noodles.

[@ThisIsMyRectangle]

So, both my parents are Guyanese, but my dad is Chinese... and he's the one who taught me how to cook chow mein. But his chowmein and my aunties' chowmein (who are indian) taste radically different. My dad's chowmein taste like chowmein you can buy at your favorite chinese take out spot. My auntie's chowmein has a very distinct taste that tastes much like the chowmein you can buy at your local roti shop. I have been craving the latter, but I never learned to make it. I spent the last month or so trying to parcel out each flavor in it and i think I found something that works. In addition to all of those ingredients (sans the sesame oil which I am not a huge fan of), add about half a teaspoon of gharam masala, about 1.5 tsp of ground anise .5 tsp of ground clove. And voila. I think it tastes just about right.

[@dorothyjacobs9972]

Hi Matthew greetings from Malaysia. Plz Matthew one polite request. Can you measurements in metric also and names of vegetables etc if you could also give the universal names for it. I do not what a Bora is Also can you also give me a recipe for tribadism or Guyanese curry powder as it's not available in my country It's all a tall order. TQ

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Hi there. I can try my best but I am not familiar with metric at all. I will put the universal names for everything sorry about that. And any brand of curry powder will do. I know the brand I use may not be available in certain places. Thanks for watching!

[@rnjan99]

Bora is long beans!

[@rayaberry]

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 bora is Chinese Long Bean

[@Chef2024.]

Did you went to Carnegie? I read your story on Google

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

No sorry I am not going there. What story are you talking about. You mind sending the link?

[@rawrrrrr61]

What brand of chow mein noodles did you use ? I have been using the Champions brand but my husband says it has an after taste

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

[@butterpecan5814]

Cilantro?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

butterpecan It's similar to cilantro. It is called culantro.

[@rnorman007]

🎉💯🎉👍🏾🇬🇾

[@rosaline6180]

So, let me ask a question, why was the chicken not seasoned? I’ve never seen my mother put chicken in the pot without seasoning it first, and before anyone has a say, yes my mother was a chef in Guyana.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

It all depends on how much time you have. Sometimes I will season with some ginger and soy or garlic and green and seasoning. I was in a rush this day so I didn't season prior. I will say that once you fry up the chicken with all of the ingredients and spices it takes on all the flavor.

[@missnight73]

What is bora?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

missnight73 Chinese long beans.

[@missnight73]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking like beansprouts you mean?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

missnight73 No they are really long, thin, and green. They are found at any asian stores. You can substitute green beans

[@mohamedrahaman9238]

Also called Chinese long beans. In guyanese chowmein, the very young and green Bora is used. Gives it that crunch. I just use mix vegetables...carrots, beans, peas and carrots.

[@englishcountryside4581]

Snow peas, Baby carrots PRAWNS

What the fuck that is not the way you make guyanese chow mein. Have you even been to Guyana.

[@annymouse2276]

It's CILANTRO not cUlantro!!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

CULANTRO also know and shadonbeni or recao is an herb used in a lot of caribbean and latin cooking. Look it up, you will be pleasantly surprised it is DIFFERENT from cilantro....
