Make Dim Sum at Home | Yan Can Cook | KQED

One reason we love making (and eating) dim sum is for the variety. In this episode of Yan Can Cook, Martin shows us how to make several variations, including golden meat-filled turnovers (2:10),
steamed juicy buns (9:39), egg custard tarts (13:29), and quail egg siomai (20:50). Don't forget your bamboo steamer!

About Yan Can Cook:
After receiving his formal restaurant training in Hong Kong, Chef Martin Yan immigrated to Calgary, Canada where he was asked to appear in a daytime news program to demonstrate Chinese cooking. The rest, as they say, is television history. In 1978, he launched the groundbreaking Chinese cooking series 'Yan Can Cook' on public television. Infused with Martin's signature humor and energy, Yan Can Cook has gone on to become a global phenomenon and has won multiple James Beard Awards.

When this show aired, I was a 8 yrs old, and it truly blew my mind and opened up the world of cooking and asian food to me. I'm so happy I can find episodes on youtube that are still helpful and entertaining. After decades, I finally bought a bamboo steamer and was excited to return to this episode especially.

Left California 20 years ago and never forgot "If Yan can cook, so can Youuuuu." Just thought to look him up on YT and here he is 20 years later. So happy now!!!!

My KZbin viewing session had become very joyful thanks to KQED - Martin and Jacques. If you can bring back Julia!

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Yes, live episodes of Julia, if possible

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

I was lucky to meet Mr Yan - he is an amazing, kind person.

[@thejoethe]

I miss his show. Glad it's on KZbin. Used to watch Chef Yan as a kid in the late 80's. I also remember Jacques and Julia. Public Broadcasting is awesome. They have a lot of great cooking shows today.

Dim Sum is a relaxed lunch. In most of our US restaurants they try to fill you up and move you out, but it the authentic places in San Francisco's Chinatown, for instance, businessmen sit for hours drinking tea, discussing business and snacking. It's a break from the office and you still get things done. Chicken feet are very tasty.

[@EmilyMDong]

Yeah that’s good definition.

[@KW-le2ze]

huh

[@gameshowguy2000]

Dim sum is also known as yum cha.

Sui Mai is my fav dim sum dish and also Xiao Long Bao which is a soup dumpling that contains a soup broth. very delicious how it enters in your mouth 👄 when you bite the outer surface of it.

I love dim sum very much. Thanks for sharing this. This is why we should support public television. There is very informative programs there. Cheers!

[@EmilyMDong]

Me too!!!

Fact; the Egg Tarts are originally from Portugal ~ . Portuguese Macau covers Macau's history from the establishment of a Portuguese settlement in 1557 to the end of colonial rule in 1999. Macau, Hong Kong & Guangzhou are in the same region and they all speak Cantonese, and Egg tarts are very popular since the colonial period. Egg tarts are commonly sold in Chinese bakery in addition to Dim Sum restaurants. The traffic signs in Macau are in English, Mandarin & Portuguese. When I had a 10 hours stop over in Lisbon between Rome & Marrakesh in 2017, TAP , the flag carrier offered it's national pastry with a sandwich! I also make sure I tried it first thing I find a bakery. I also bought freshly baked 1/2 dozen at Lisbon airport to go :) there was a long line but it total worth it, so good!!!

Thanks for this history lesson! We had no idea.

[@EmilyMDong]

I love Dim Sum!!! It is really great idea to learn some new techniques every single day my grandparents and my family from California goes to Dim Sum on weekends.

[@Sarah-fw9cg]

My family love dim sum, sadly there aren't enough dim sum restaurants around here in the UK, so I have to make my own. Which isn't such a bad thing. But I do love to eat dim sum at a restaurant, then you get a lot more variety. Thanks for the video, I remember watching yan can cook many years ago, it made me feel old lol

[@worldcitizeng6507]

I took a teaching job in Guangzhou in 2009=2013 so that I can enjoy Dim Sum all the time :) When I knew it's time for me to return to the States, I had Dim Sum every weekend to enjoy the last of it. Dim Sum is serve between 7am -11am and 3am to 6am for the night owls as snacks. Luckily here in Southern Cali, we have 2 good Dim Sum restaurants and I can also buy frozen Dim Sum anytime now at Chinese markets.

[@Ultradude604]

Dim sum, probably the hardest thing to make in Chinese cuisine. I'd prefer to order in chinese joints.
