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.

I'm not sure why KZbin recommended this to me but I'm glad it did. Yan is the man!!!

[@WhiteWalls666]

The Bob Ross of cooking. I can listen to Yan chopping away with that cleaver all day.

[@BebbaDubbs]

Omg, this was my childhood! He taught me that I really CAN cook!

[@VenomStryker]

I've been doing this for the past 75 years! lmao, Yan is hilarious, and I still love to watch him today.

The most energy per pound of any food and ONLY 220 calories per cup. Well, which is it? Is it the most energy dense food, or is it a diet food?

Says 'use a wooden spoon', proceeds to use a metal laddle lol

[@xfloodcasual8124]

Funny to see him show all the rice, but this was long before the internet. Where else you gonna get your information if you're sitting at home in the burbs?

[@mcdonkeylips]

I used to hear that sound of chopping at our favorite Chinese restaurant and I couldn’t believe how fast they chopped, now I know after watching him.
