Jeremy, thank you for saving my life. About 72hrs ago, I was a cliche: never went grocery shopping, never cooked, never turned on an oven/stove, lived off of pizza… then I bought a wok and found your channel. 👍🏼❤️💯

[@Lasharella]

And then opened Chinese restaurant 😉

[@masonneal1654]

Legend has it he’s now a wok star

[@PoeLemic]

Yeah, @DW, best decision you ever made -- watching SoW ...

[@angelabaiers5055]

I want his clever. He really owns the beef.

[@barryeason749]

I’m one of those “westernized” Chinese (in Sunny South Africa) who has recently discovered the joy and celebration of his cooking heritage. This recipe is fantastic and my family love it to absolute bits! I’m literally “woking & wolling” every nite with restaurant quality Chinese dishes, now all I have to do is speak my mother tongue... Thank you for your great cooking channel!

[@graceandmarvellouswonders6249]

Lol Woking and wolling!!!!

[@wimm1392]

I made this 5mins ago, it’s awesome, I used a flat bottom pan on an induction stove, took about 7mins . Thanks again for sharing this recipe. I can tell you it’s much better than Mac Donald’s

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad to hear it came out well! - Lee

[@olubusayomoronfolu4609]

Chineese with a British accent love it

[@JezzaN1]

Just made this tonight (albeit with a little extra ginger because I love it) and it was a massive hit. Thanks for an excellent and easy to understand guide / recipe!

[@SchoolofWok]

Brilliant, great to hear it! - Lee

[@Luysberg]

Where do I get the recipe from?

[@fkaur6963]

I’ve cooked this dish so many times using lots of different recipes, but tonight I tried yours and it was by far the best. A massive thanks for sharing such fabulous recipe 🙏🏻

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad you liked it!! - Lee

[@scotty193]

This guy has quickly become my all time favourite presenter and chef in the culinary world. Jeremy does indeed Rock.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you! I'll let him know! - Lee

[@LarryCarlin]

Thanks, just made this one tonight. Yeah, you got us hooked on the Wok Clock concept. Every time we cook Chinese we say "Look Jeremy, Using the Wok Clock"

[@SchoolofWok]

Hahaha, the wok clock is great, isn't it! - Lee

[@marcelawitker3113]

Good stuff! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! - Lee

[@fitzbarbel]

lovely. Thanks Jeremy.

[@wilsoncalhoun]

It's 2018. Why hasn't science found a way to put oyster sauce into a plastic squeeze bottle yet?

[@SchoolofWok]

I know, right? If they can do it with ketchup, they can do it with oyster sauce! - Lee

[@TheCervelas]

exactly , i'm frustrated everytime i use it. this stuff is like tar.

[@ShivSilverhawk]

Now! This is going to require the knowledge of advanced calculus as well as a degree in engineering, but here's a solution! Step one: Take a plastic squeeze bottle, Step two: Pour the oyster sauce into said bottle! Voila! Now excuse me. I'm almost late for my monthly Mensa member's meeting:D

[@broonyin]

Be the change, you want to see

[@jimoconnell7483]

Thought we were supposed to be finding alternatives to plastic!!!

[@johnfields7469]

I think this would be a lot better with some garlic

[@SchoolofWok]

Try it and add some garlic in, let us know how it goes! - Lee

[@toallahisourreturn.3528]

Wonderful channel. Ur way of teaching is great. Simple and straightforward. I have tried so many dishes and always get 10 out of 10 from my guests! Thanku Jeremy.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks! Glad to hear that your guests enjoy it! - Lee

[@crazybeautiful483]

Just made this recipe me and my husband loved it, will make again great recipe!

[@SchoolofWok]

Excellent! - Lee

[@raj-hg7yd]

corn flour is the same as corn starch?

[@SchoolofWok]

Yes, that's correct! - Lee

[@raj-hg7yd]

thanks very much bro!

[@Gantzz321]

in EU they call it Corn Flour in NA we call it Corn Starch

[@MrHarleythedevil]

Depends if you speak English or American.

[@adbreon]

Colloquially yes. Technically, no. While several countries often use the words interchangeably, technically corn flour would be finely ground whole kernel corn meal such as masa. Corn starch is just that, isolated starch without the protein and other bits.

[@IvanIvanov-vy7pt]

Now I know what the Chinese cleavers are for!!! HAHAHA

[@ewaldbracko1534]

This actually made me by my own one. 😁😁😁

[@JezzaN1]

It's pretty damn satisfying smacking the steak flat, i'm not gonna lie..

[@stevennawik7663]

WOW, thank you Chef

[@markhogan77]

Another great video Jeremy - definitely going to try this out - many thanks ;)

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you! - Lee

[@nashriaelmoda8414]

Where is the garlic in your cooking?

[@wfcoaker1398]

christopher smith Blasphemy! Lol

[@nashriaelmoda8414]

@christopher smith im not chef nor a cook 😭😭, but i love eating and garlic n all

[@drasticbread249]

After trying this I think some garlic would go pretty well in it but there’s tons of flavor without it.

[@ganesh87]

Ready made sauce already Gralic

[@MrPDoff]

It's nice to see food cooked without killing the flavours with Garlic. Yuk.

[@MrQuagmire26]

Nice recipe. But adding a pinch of bicarbonate of soda into the marinade will sort of give the meat this "takeaway feel". Also, from past experience adding the stir fried meat back into a watery sauce will ruin the texture of the beef. It somehow works better to thicken the sauce before adding the meat back in.

[@SchoolofWok]

Give it a go our way and see what you think, I thought the beef had a very good texture! - Lee

[@mrVytautasS]

Lee, can I make the same recipe using chicken instead of beef? @@SchoolofWok

[@SchoolofWok]

I don't see why not! - Lee

[@Adam-vj3gr]

That's right, if you add the beef when the sauce is still thin, you're essentially boiling the meat, while reducing the liquid. For this cut of beef, braising is not needed to tenderize the meat, as it is already tender, being slice so thin.

[@aborn24]

Made it today and loved it. Simple and delicious. It helps if you have a serious wok station. Thank you for sharing.

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad you enjoyed it! - Lee

[@dosetti]

This was so good, thanks! Added some dried noodles as you instructed in other video and the result was the best chinese dish i have ever made.

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad you liked it!!

[@earlystrings1]

Wok not nearly hot enough. Not much sear on the beef and veg basically just boiled. Just doesnt work on an electric stove.

[@user-yx1qk4sk5t]

The wok wasn't hot enough, onions flying all over the place, spillage. I was surprised that this wasn't his 3rd or 5th video.

[@melaniewhite9353]

If you notice, he wanted to make sure that the beef was a little rare which is very enjoyable, and I would think he still had a pretty nice sear going.

[@danthsmith]

Modern ceramic hob. Easily hot enough

[@DonnieBrasco-dy9yd]

When's the last time you used an electric stove? 1983?

[@niklaso]

Lol internet experts critizising an actual cook. Go back to cooking hot dogs and beans.

[@zaknefain100]

Thank you, this is an amazing recipe!

[@SchoolofWok]

Thanks!

[@trueblue2124]
