Mother-in-Law's Beef Tomato Stir Fry!

[@elvinlim1640]

Chef, your pronunciation of 蕃茄牛肉飯 in Canto is so spot-on!

[@SunaAoimori]

Im learning Cantonese and im jealous of ur cantonese pronounciation ❤

[@petiteluxenoir5741]

Your Cantonese is spot on- can you speak the language?

[@Lucas_Wong]

Pai your cantonese pronounciation is so good!

[@fnovends]

As a Cantonese speaker, I agreed.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you!!

[@LastRODbender]

No kidding! Legit!

[@Obscurai]

Thai and Cantonese share similar pronunciations for many animal words. Examples are the words for chicken, bee, elephant and horse. Also, the tonal system is similar between the two languages.

[@SerenityEscape0823]

Yeah, when I heard she said it in Cantonese fluently, I thought Pai was of Cantonese origin who grew up in Thailand

[@maxxduckem7969]

Thank you so much for this recipe! My 71-year-old dad grew up in Hong Kong but he said he can never get the dish quite like how his mom made it (limited cooking experience). I think I will cook this for him sometime soon to see if he likes it!

[@LePetitNuageGris]

Please let us know what he thought! I know I don’t know him, but now that I know his story a little bit, I’m so eager for him to get his delicious childhood back.☺️

[@leehom4716]

Pai, you are my adopted Thai Auntie for sure! So many good dishes, you've made me a better cook! Thank you so much for your passion and love for Thai food.

[@jasonle4192]

Thank you Craig’s mom. I’m going to make this tonight for the family 👏🏼👍🏽

[@jasonle4192]

Thanks again Pai. I added Chinese broccoli and I’m on my 3rd bowl! I had to come back on and say a big ‘thank you’ for posting this. My family loved it

[@careym.2856]

I’ve been watching you for YEARS and this is the first time I heard you speak Canto. Your tones and pronunciation of the dish is so GOOD!

[@healer81]

Its so nice to hear you talk about your husband, his family and your child. I can feel the love you have for them. ♥

[@artistlovepeace]

You wouldn't believe how happy I am that you are sharing and showing this recipe. I'm so happy for this demonstration.

[@maunarose]

I just forwarded this to my neighbors, friends, and fam with kids ❤ They’ll love it!!

[@thihal123]

Your Cantonese pronunciation is almost perfect. The tones are great! Didn’t realize your husband is Cantonese.

[@annaraven]

Just made this tonight for hubby and I, without the ketchup (he loathes ketchup, so I used a little extra oyster sauce and soy sauce instead). The baking soda trick is amazing 😍 ; he always complains about chewy meat and this was perfectly tender! Thank you for the recipe and the trick.

[@littlefoxx333]

I searched beef and tomato stir fry and found this. Really excited to make it.

[@Django19]

Love seeing Asian couples and families! It's truly a beautiful thing!

[@MT-dx6sj]

I made this recipe tonight. We loved it! But more importantly, I finally found out why the beef in the "Beef and ginger & green onion" at our favorite Chinese restaurant is so tender. Baking Soda and water trick!!! Thank you for sharing the trick!

[@LegPressWhizzer]

Add me to the list of people impressed by your Cantonese pronunciation. Also, I love the mini tongs and whisk you have. They look so cute but also really functional

[@claudiomenesesc]

Cantonese cuisine is very popular in Peru and this particular dish is the origin of the very Peruvian "Lomo Saltado". We eat it with rice (sounds familiar?) and fried potatoes. If a fried egg is added then it is a "lomo saltado montado".

[@mon6745]

Oh wow 😮 !

[@PailinsKitchen]

This is so interesting!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@SerenityEscape0823]

Love Peruvian dishes! Do Peruvians also use baking soda to tenderize beef/meat?

[@claudiomenesesc]

@@SerenityEscape0823 No, this technique (velveting) is mainly limited to cantonese restauarants however, I do use it with certain cuts of meat.

[@thegrinch0614]

Yup, this is eaten in Ecuador as well or at least our family did. (Great grandfather was born and raised in Hong Kong but my grandfather was born in Ecuador) brings up so many childhood memories 😊

[@rarevisionog]

Easy to make with simple accessible ingredients. Now that's already a winner.

[@FernandoCantuba]

The 1st time I tried this dish was at Sam Wo, a restaurant in San Francisco's China Town, when I was very young. I very much enjoyed it. So happy you shared this recipe with us. Can't wait to try it out with my own family.

[@mon6745]

I love sharing recipes from our prents generation ❤

[@philiputley9873]

Omg. This was absolutely delicious! Thank you, Pai and Auntie Jenny! I made it exactly as detailed and it was superb. My husband devoured it!! Adding this to the rotation.

[@emily--m]

Greetings from NY. Thank you for sharing this recipe and providing the link, which I saved 👍. Recipe looks delicious 😋. Have a blessed and beautiful day 🥰

[@peterdoe2617]

I was just recently looking for this recipe. Right in time. Thanks from the far north of Germany!

[@nicolayem7353]

I grew up in Hong Kong and this was a classic dish that we ate at home. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe - it brought back some wonderful memories!

[@1582len]

That looks so delicious! The egg is the perfect finishing touch 👍

[@mandy_145]

I think I’ll love this . Looks yummylicious 😋🤗 Thanks Pailin & Craig’s mom 😘

[@kelseyleaf5532]

Made this for supper, delicious and directions were easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!

[@billmiller5741]

This looks delicious and easy to make. Thank you 😊

[@mason.credible638]

Wow your pronunciation of the dish in Cantonese is very good!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you!

[@helenv2906]

Thank you for sharing Auntie Jenny with us. It makes me feel part of you family and btw your little guy is getting big and so cute! Please Thank your mother in law too it's nice to build great-memories around food. ❤❤

[@asturias0267]

This looks so good. Definitely going to have to try this.

[@ローラー-k8x]

So good! I just tried it. Every recipe from your channel is a bagner!

[@joshuagarrison6458]

I made this tonight. It was great. My five year-old son liked it.

[@bethclark9319]

Thank you for this recipe. I can't tell you how many times I have made it. It is quick and easy.

[@topcover22]

A great variation of this recipe.... add a tablespoon (or more to taste) of Madras curry with the aromatics. Great combo. Thanks for the video Pailin!

[@368chen]

I definitely ate this regularly in my childhood and it’s still a favorite of mine. Thank you for posting the recipe and I was surprised that your Cantonese is even better than my Mandarin speaking husband 😂

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Loved this. I'm used to seeing the cornstarch go in to marinating the beef, or in other words, velveting the beef to provide a protective coating to prevent overcooking and resulting in tender meat. I think my dad would "scramble" the egg within the dish so that it had the texture of egg drop, barely cooked streaks in the sauce. This video totally made me want to eat this.

[@nwetyinwin3788]

Thanks again for a lovely beef dish! Must try!

[@MYMUKMUK2010]

Definitely a classic Cantonese dish! So easy and yummy! A great dish for the Summer! ❤

[@amoleis61023]

Oooh! I was wondering what you were working on! 🎉🎉 My daughter wants me to make this ❤😅

[@shelleynorman6741]

Made this tonight with fresh tomatoes from my garden! So Good!

[@socksiemcsocks1236]

Definitely trying this one!! Thank you!

[@yen2981]

Happened to have some extra ribeye slices from dinner. Saw your post last night, realized that I also have all the other ingredients on hand. Was so excited that I made your beef tomato goodness this morning, with an egg it’s a legit breakfast! 😅 Thank you, Auntie Jenny & Pailin, it’s super tasty and satisfying!

[@easyanddeliciouswitheufrasia]

I love your recipe..thank you for sharing

[@tavitlertritsumpun7160]

Hi Pai and Adam, This looks very delicious. I will try it soon. 🎉

[@colinmills3175]

Thanks Pai I am really pleased to have found your channel ❤I love Asian food and cooking. I cooked your Laksa a few days ago and was scrumptious 😋 Colin 🇬🇧

[@warrentram7602]

yes as a cantonese person the addition of eggs on top of this is bizarre so your confusion is well warranted, although i might try it myself and love it. thanks again for this beautiful homey recipe. cheers pai

[@patriciabolus9681]

I love your videos and you are so funny, entertaining to watch, thank you, from St.Catharines, Ontario

[@maryfroese7388]

You should do a series of cantonese dishes!!

[@dicktiionary]

As long as she doesnt tread on the toes of Chinese Cooking Demystified! When they moved to Thailand, they said they would still leave all the Thai content with Pai!

[@maureenbrown6610]

Just made it for tea very nice and quick, thank you. ❤

[@gregbrooks7233]

This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.

[@recipeshomen1]

Super yummy and delicious meal yo made it very nicely

[@yewbtang1848]

Feeling very hungry after watching this.! My mouth is now watering! 😋 Looks absolutely yummy!

[@randyclary8635]

Thank you Auntie Jenny for sharing a childhood favorite of Craig's. Pai as some other have stated maybe you could share a few of your favorite Cantonese recipes with us. Love all you share with us.

[@ivanhawksley9979]

Thank you for this recipe. I tried it last night and it's delicious.

[@superblykim2290]

Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! This reminds me of my exchange student time in HK back in university period ❤

[@inezy6329]

As a Malay, I find it quite similar to our fried beef dish..the only difference is we cut the tomatoes into smaller chunks, add fried potatoes which is cut just like how you cut the tomatoes and we also add some big onions that we cut into rings just a minute or two before it's done so as to add a bit of sweetness to the dish. The rest of the ingredients are basically the same but we can also add some chilli and a bit of black pepper if we want to make it spicier.

[@erniecelindsey8418]

OMG, I am making this tonight, thank you!!

[@SunnyIlha]

Wow! I like this!! You are All-Asia family! It's nice.

[@adventureawaits3646]

made this tonight, turned out great! Everybody loved it, made enough to have it for dinner again tomorrow, this recipe is a keeper. As is the salty caramel chicken from recently. Tasty tasty!

[@mannyespinola9228]

Thank you for this video

[@eugenegee2148]

Being Cantonese, this is one of my favorite dishes to cook. You did a wonderful job of demonstrating how to make this dish. I have never added the egg though. Perhaps that is just a tradition of your husband's family.

[@tyiu5629]

There is a very similar Cantonese dish called 番茄炒蛋. Basically, this dish is the exact same recipe except that scrambled eggs replace the beef. Perhaps Auntie Jennie conflated the two dishes since she prefers scrambled eggs. And I am guessing that Craig may have further evolved the addition of egg by preferring crispy sunny side eggs (like many SE Asian dishes). Just a guess. At the end of the day, it's all good.

[@weilingaby3029]

番茄炒蛋 is a very popular Chinese dish, not just limited to Cantonese. Almost every Chinese family has their own way to cook it, simple yet delicious. My family is from Shanghai and this dish is my mom's emergency dish because it so simple to make.

[@ZipTumbleFast]

We tried this tonight. Very different Asian flavour. It was very good and surprising.

[@miaththered]

I'm gonna try this, thanks for sharing.

[@DanielSosnoski]

I made this tonight. The only change was using just a touch of ketchup and no sugar. Instead, Golden Mountain Sauce, oyster sauce, a dash of soy sauce, and that brought it together. Wonderful dish.

[@amusicated]

great recipe. also i love the angles that you film in.

[@tanyar2965]

This is my favorite stir fry when I was a kid.

[@tropicalbeach9225]

love you channel and foods. please keep it up. you are so beautiful and so is your food! Thanks!

[@happy_camper]

This looks SOOO good!!

[@TheSingbird123]

This is my go to recipe

[@hoptoi]

Can’t wait to try!!

[@hkwok168]

This is my all time favorite too. I had 3 bowls of rice with this dish.

[@mariakibtiah4303]

Pai , this dish remain me of the HongKong boy who i look after . It was every other day for roughly 6 years i cooked this dish as it's his favorite until now (he is 20 yo and lives in Vancouver now ) and sometimes i added corn kernel to it.

[@kenc2257]

That looks delicious.

[@tinahillsdon2776]

Love listening to you.

[@Joshiitake]

Pai way to call me out! I always spend too much time adjusting sauce thickness at the end for similar dishes. I'll definitely give this version of beef & tomato a shot. My boyfriend has never turned down a reason to add ketchup to anything.

[@libbyking3623]

This was amazing. Thanks for this recipe.

[@shee7083]

Canto anything sounds awesome

[@aznsrey1324]

Omg my childhood fav!! Gonna make this soon 🤤

[@featherhenna]

wow wow wow

[@joeyyung911]

Pai's Cantonese is on point!!!

[@jaquestraw1]

Making this tomorrow, thank you Pai! 💜

[@Millielai12]

Tor chay sai Pai 😊 for sharing the recipe close to your heart ❤️

[@AfterCovidthefoodchannnel]

Mmm looks really good the tomato stir fry that you made! Like a lot how you did it! See you 🦇

[@tk_kaine]

I actually love my tomato beef dish extra saucy so I like letting the tomatoes cook down more, but that's just personal preference. This is one of my favorite dishes from my childhood too, and I make it a LOT.

[@jasmineong4629]

Made this tonight and it’s super delicious. Didn’t use ketchup as I didn’t have any. I used Chili sauce and tomato paste instead. Still very good. Sauce was delicious.

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the recipe 👍🏻

[@barbie-fz4oo]

Favorite Cantonese recipe❤

[@yinji88]

whoa your cantonese is amazing!!!!

[@fireantsarestrange]

I used to go to a Cantonese restaurant in Sacramento. They used lots of onions and skimped on the meat. I still have no complaints and I don't even know if that place is still there. I moved to Florida. Would be pretty hard to find that one again. Lots of things you forget after 15 years.

[@polosandoval]

Sawaddee Krub! Lovely video and recipe as always!

[@Happy_umami]

🙏🏼 sawadicab. ..잘봤습니다. 주말 잘보내세요..!😃

[@phylliswurm9473]

Looks so good. 👍

[@Pallidus_Rider]

I like how tomatoes male their way into every cuisine. One dish from Thai hospital cafeteria I worked at that I miss, was a dish with glass noodles, egg, tomato, and green onion (among other ingredients)

[@hientunnell8572]

I just watched your video, thank you for sharing family favourite recipe. Can you ask her if she knows Hien ? Thanks

[@lms168]

Thanks for sharing! Do you have any more Tom Yum shirt (M size or L) for sale? The link to that shirt is not working.

[@bianchiveloce1]

I see me cooking this in the very near future.

[@stevennapier6441]

Awesome 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@nancytantamco211]

Where did u buy the serving platter where the beef and tomatoes go in? Thanks P!

[@BabyFish4Music]

Look yummy.
