Chef Max is an amazing person, a great chef, and funny too. We opened Majordomo Meat and Fish in Vegas and he was helping everyone with everything. I learned a lot from him before the quarantine.

[@SK-kj1ge]

Super great teacher -- I love that he doesn't expect the viewer to have a cleaver, and he chose a dish that we could realistically make

[@SwagDoge71Vab2]

As a kid whose family is from the Pacific coast, the amount of seafood in this dish is a dream

[@Vvardenfell_Outlander]

What a beautiful and delicious looking dish. You are correct. We do cook in memory of others and those recipes are always the best. Thank you.

[@ireland014]

Expensive, but holy shit a recipe that the average person could reasonably make.

[@aphexon.]

not if you get the crab etc your self.

[@Mystearicia]

I call that a street food type of dish, I just bought mine near my place and only took 10 minutes or less to get it done. One he made is more of a luxurious version and as he said, his grandma would probably nag at him like how expensive the produce he used hahahha

[@markvicencio195]

ireland014 hell if you just sub out the seafood with some pork belly and pork shanks I can this same dish being really delicious still. Maybe even some beef short rib

[@robin212212]

You can probably just use shrimp and clams to try to keep the cost down.

[@brandowag3]

What you have to remember is that this probably cost 60 bucks to make but can feed 6 people. 10 bucks a person for a meal this size is approachable and you look like a boss. You could make this for less than going to a chain reataurant.

Did you make this? It's 12am and I'm contemplating making this.

[@TheMainMayn]

First of all I'm glad there was no skip out on the amount of seafood used lol. Secondly it's so true how dishes of food can remind you of family and bring back memories 😔 shit, my g that kinda made me emotional bro.

[@coopercrepsl]

more of this dude hell yeah! great chef

[@maniswolftoman]

He’s using gailan. The leaves are the best part, but the stems are very tender and very good as well. I wouldn’t substitute broccoli for gailan, I’d look for something with more of a bitterness to it like mustard greens, arugula (my favorite green), dandelion. Watercress would be cool. Sometimes the choice of veg in a recipe will alter it more than the choice of protein.

[@UncleLub]

I want to see this guy more! I can't wait to try this recipe out!!

[@flclub54]

Yes more Max! 💗

No way you are getting king crab for 10 bucks a pound, king crab cost like 30 bucks a pound at minimum... If it's frozen I might believe it but if it's fresh you are paying 30 to 70 a pound depending on where you live

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy KL Hokkien Noodles??? Malaysia represent!

[@wynpyt]

That looks like seafood heaven!!! Open up the pearly gates!!!!

[@prathification]

Malaysian dish NOICE...just so y'all know, we call this hokkien Mee in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His recipe is a richer, but easier to prepare at home version of what we get in restaurants here. The dish doesn't usually contain so much expensive seafood, usually it just has shrimp, chicken, a sizeable amount of lard, crispy pork crackling bits and it's normally cooked in woks over those Chinese restaurant jet-engine stoves that gives the dish a unique smokey-seared flavour referred to, over here as "wok hei". Cool stuff!!

[@1makimo1]

KL Hokkien Noodle? Like from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's Hokkien Noodle? Wow, like, wow! Although the ones we have here is not that glamorous... :(

[@MaveZurune001]

that will make do for an international audience i guess :p

[@t.cobbseats8765]

Thank you for all of the helpful tips and this great recipe!

[@Karazure]

You are totally right that this is not how you cook Hokkien Mee, the utmost important thing is a super hot wok and the flash stir fry technique. The best KL hokkien Mee are cook by charcoal too.

[@roshirae16]

Dave Wong also the best hokkien mee made by Uncle or aunty dancing while stir frying 😂😍

[@soehairikatni2962]

If he brings this back to kl and call it hokien mee , he would be cussed the fuck out. His grandma will kick the shit out of him.

[@halfassedfart]

@@soehairikatni2962 Watch the last bit of it, he acknowledges that.

[@lepidoptery]

@@soehairikatni2962 i wonder if his grandma is in the US too, though? He said she didn't have a large pot either, no implication that she was using a wok herself. Woks are pretty huge for the amount of food that's supposed to be cooked in them at a time.

Man this dish would cost like 200 USD where Im from. Both frozen lobster and king crab are like $120 per kilo at least. But it does look amazing.

[@Li1249]

That sucks, in Brooklyn Chinatown fish markets you can find King crab and lobster(alive) for about $9.99/lb and $7.99/lb when they are on sale.... quite the big price difference.

[@Li1249]

The downside is that you do need to buy a whole king crab including the body... which comes out to be around 100 bucks per crab, but it's huge and I normally share it with my family.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Liang Li damn I live in Alaska and pay that much.

[@dennisyap2143]

I guessed so from your accent... Either Singapore or Malaysian 😅... Really, if you wanna know what's good to eat... Make sure you find a Malaysian friend... We would eat in high class restaurants and squat beside open drains as long as the food is great...
