How to Make Yum Cha Style Mango Pancakes | Yum Cha Recipes

These thin, elastic crepes filled with mango and whipped cream are hugely popular at yum cha (dim sum). But if you don't want to wait until next time you're out for dumplings, you can make them at home too.

I don't think I've ever had one, but I want one now. Bring on the summer mangoes!

[@fatinmohdhusni3111]

Years ago in Malaysia, there was a huge crave over 'durian crepe' - bits of sweet durian flesh with a generous dollop of whipped cream, all wrapped in a thin layer of yellow crepe - popularised by online food entrepreneurs. For about a couple of years it became one of Malaysians' most favourite desserts. I thought it was some kind of localised French dessert. I didn't know it's called Yum Cha pancakes. This is new to me!

I love those mango pancake I was at yumcha when I’ve first had it, I was planning on going to yumcha with my friends during the school holidays but we couldn’t because of lockdown

[@ReadinOutLoud]

[@jennyt2024]

[@126643]

very underrated channel, great production, great flow of the video

[@vincetran1640]

Your videos are amazing Adam! Please make more videos about Yum Cha dishes please!!!

[@emmakatenotcake]

After your glowing research into the origins of chicken salt, I think it’s safe to say you’re probably correct about the origins of yumcha mango pancakes.

[@heyraypissed]

You have the coolest fridge ._.

[@phucanhell]

I came here to write that. #fridgegoals

[@Mel28mtz]

Definitely making these for Thanksgiving!

[@urtastylife9083]

Really nice editing quality ! Keep going with this ! You gained a new subscriber ;)

[@brianwebber1143]

Thanks Adam! Mango pancakes ftw!

[@0GregorSchultz0]

I know its kind of common knowledge that "Every" character from DB or DBZ is based on some kind of vegetable or Dish....but I lack the knowledge on how many characters are actual dishes....so....maybe do a series on that? maybe? please? :D

[@pabloschultz5192]

Only the saiyans right?

[@CutieMode98]

thank god for this video! its my favourite!!

[@alfredstevens5276]

That reminds me of blintzes at weekend brunch with bubbe

[@pct87]

Here in America, didn’t know mango pancake was a thing. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Australian.

[@bryanttey6316]

any reason why add vegetable oil?

[@elapapela6187]

Many greetings from Berlin , Adam . I´ll try this later ♥

[@doopyz]

You are the man!

[@sophiaechoo]

How do you get your pancakes so soft and silky? When I tried to make, the pancake would crack at the sides when folded 😭😭

[@johnfatland4618]

I love the chese slicer. Do you use it for brown cheese?

[@ninitheunicorn7415]

Mine tasted great but the recipe requires too much oil and the pancake ended up too slippery , making it really hard to roll.

[@pattiez]

Love your channel!

[@lisamarieesquivias1104]

Anyone know of a place near LA that does these exact ones??!!!!!!!

[@iiewdelun7321]

Yum Cha is actuallly drink tea , but in hong kong they means "going for a drink(something like a tea-time)

[@choicelam]

we can tell who is the egg tart goer from adams description

[@emixmh]

is thickened cream different than heavy/whipping cream? i’ve never seen it in the US.

[@Apocalypz]

Emily Hampton, It's whipping cream but with added thickening agent (e.g. gelatin, xanthan gum, etc.). If all you can find is whipping cream, then you can definitely use it; however, you'll definitely want to refrigerate the final product before serving so as to keep the filling more dense.

[@The_Mad_Chef78]

It is a pretty common pastry trick to throw a little unflavored gelatin into whipped cream to make it more stable. So you could just pick up a box of gelatin packets and make your own pretty simply. This cream didn't look as "stabilized" as some I have seen which uses 1-1.5 tsp per cup of cream so 1/2-3/4 tsp per cup is probably just about right.

[@tohtienping]

I don't think there is any mango pancakes melbourne. I had in Sydney before. Pls share which yum cha has this ?

[@dylanboon6976]

G'day Ads, would be cool if you did Japanese curry or Tonkatsu in a video soon. Cheers mate, keep it up!

[@ryanespinosa4675]

Adam - love the vids! Can you do one for Singaporean Bak Kut Teh?

[@thlee3]

Godamn , that royal oak

[@leahrox12]

dayum

[@TestAccount-uu9vp]

Can you please link the knives you use

[@norbufamily823]

Wheat flour works as well

[@agnimitraroy2777]

It's winter now. Can I use any other fruit?

[@JohnDoe-jp5py]

Hey, awesome video as usual! Just something I noticed, I think either your color grading or your lighting was off this video bc it looks a little strange (esp the skin tone). Sorry if I'm wrong!!

[@colpugno7]

I did so many times, but with durian 🤣

[@carolsio3168]

How many cups of flour did you use?

[@zhongxina1227]

did someone say YAMCHAA?!?!?! WHO PULLED A YAMCHA

[@yureiraida]

Hi adam.How many pancakes is the yield of your recipe

[@MaZEEZaM]

Very nice :D

[@jackmerrick78]

Great video! but "just a little bit of vegetable oil" proceeds to pour 1 cup xD

[@jek__]

Oh god, after years of watching chefs perfectly and easily scrape bowls clean with silicon spatulas, watching you try to scrape that cream out of the bowl with a whisk was painful lol, good thing you cut that shot asap The idea of using a small bowl to prevent egg loss is an interesting one. Because every time you use that small bowl, you lose a small percentage of each egg. So the egg batch size * frequency of bad egg or egg shell has to be > the percent egg loss from small bowl transfer * frequency of total eggs used. Which I'm not sure if that comes out to be true or not, you might actually be losing more total egg mass with that method than you save

[@MTMF.london]

The percentage loss would be too tiny to matter. Unless an egg turned out to be a bad one, in which case it would be thrown out and the small bowl rinsed. The albumen (the egg whites) that stuck to the small bowl could be scraped into the mixing bowl at the end. I think Adam meant that if you were to crack eggs straight into the mixing bowl, one rotten egg could spoil the lot.

[@rugvedbhagat1328]

What did he add first into the eggs?

[@teamnettno4697]

Icing sugar

[@ahu747]

You had me at pancakes, but lost me at mango.

[@ahu747]

Parents used to have 4 mango trees at our yard and guess who had to gather and bag all the rotten mangoes every season...

[@swgriffin1977]

Wait, are we supposed to only choose ONE desert at yum cha? oh no

[@eatlittlebird]

I grew up in Australia but I have never seen these mango pancakes at yum cha. I left Australia over 10 years ago, so are these mango pancakes a relatively new thing?

[@relynquish]

Nope, they've been around for 20+ years in Sydney. Might depend on which city?

[@choicelam]

for sure, just like meat pie float, never in my life have i heard of it.turns out it's a sa thing

[@mathewtoll6780]

I've read peoples comments on blogs/twitter etc. It seems to be more of a Sydney thing originally, in the late 80s/early 90s and spread from there

[@ogilvy1988]

i m sorry, they call dim sum as yum cha in australia? yum cha mean drink tea, out for a drink.

[@HNCS2006]

We eat Dim Sum at Yum Cha.

[@THRiLLERRx1]

Did not expect the accent lol
