It is Sichuan Peppercorn Oil😅

[@user-kx9qx7fd5x]

The thin slice of cake you like to eat is called pancake (Chinese pronunciation: JIANG-XIANG-BING). Sauce-flavored pancake originated from a unique snack in Hubei, China, and is also known as "Chinese pizza". It is now sold at street stalls everywhere in China.

Oh gosh, Chang Yang Chun is so cute. He's not shy at all to communicate with you, Steve 😃 Oooooop....that bottle of oil is Sichuan pepper oil...no wonder you feel numb around your mouth as you have put too much. Yummy pancake and those small dumplings are "xiao long bao". lt's so fun watching you interacting with that friendly lady vendor. Well, with no Mandarin or app, you still can get your food using gestures. Well done Steve lvana. A great experience indeed trying Chinese food in China !

[@taoxiaoxiao]

I am in Beijing. I am very happy to see the vlog you shared about your trip to Shanghai, China. I welcome you to travel to Beijing if you have the opportunity in the future. It is worth mentioning that Hangzhou and Suzhou near Shanghai are also worth visiting. Furthermore, many Chinese people’s English speaking skills are not very good, so they will be a little nervous when chatting in the language. In fact, your smile will make them relax and blend in with each other. Very good. Looking forward to sharing more. China welcomes you. 💖

The oil you put too much in is Peppercorn oil(花椒油）. Peppercorn oil is typically extracted from the dried berries of the pepper plant, specifically from black peppercorns (Piper nigrum). The oil is obtained through steam distillation or solvent extraction of these dried berries. It's valued for its aromatic and culinary properties, often used in cooking, aromatherapy, and sometimes in traditional medicine due to its potential health benefits.

[@MrSkymaze]

To be more precise, it is Sichuan peppercorn oil.

[@xavierlee3368]

what she trying to say is "zanthoxylum" omg, she can spell it. actually she can say "sichuan pepper". it is like you try to say "Homosapiens" instead of " Human being "

[@cengxiansheng26]

Hi Steve. I am Chinese and I subscribed after seeing your video today. The bottle contains Sichuan peppercorn oil. You only need 2 to 3 drops. And in China, generally only people in Sichuan Province eat Sichuan peppercorns. China This is a non-English-speaking country, but now Chinese families attach great importance to children's education and send their children to learn English from an early age, so there should be many Chinese people who can speak fluent English in the future. Finally, I wish you a happy time in China!

[@Mai381000]

I am a recent subscriber, and I really enjoy watching your vlogs, especially this one. I loved the interaction with little Zhang, what a confident and proud young man he is. I hope in the future he will become fluent in English and go on to achieve great things. Btw Steve, I think you would make an excellent English language teacher. 😉

[@JetLagWarriors]

Little Zhang will definitely be fluent in English, he's interesting in English and not afraid to talk with foreigners. He reminds me when I was young.

If you don't know where to go in Shanghai, you can also go to Suzhou or Nanjing to visit. Because Shanghai is close to Suzhou and Nanjing. The Chinese high speed train will arrive quickly.

The boy’s mom keeps on telling him not to disturb you two at the beginning, as to the bottle of oil you added into your noodles, it says 花椒油 which can be literally translated into peppercorn oil.

[@shallthomas1038]

numbing pepper oil

[@ylw]

From wikipedia: Sichuan pepper (Chinese: 花椒; pinyin: huājiāo; Nepali: टिमुर, romanized: timur), also known as Szechuan pepper, Szechwan pepper, Chinese prickly ash, Chinese pepper, Mountain pepper, and mala pepper, is a spice commonly used in Sichuan cuisine in China, and in Nepal and north east India. ... It is made from plants of the genus Zanthoxylum in the family Rutaceae, which includes citrus and rue.

I asked ChatGPT for 花椒油 which you put in your noodle in english, and it's called "Sichuan peppercorn oil" or "Chinese prickly ash oil", and yes it's characteristic is to make your lips feel numb. You'll get a lot in Sichuan cuisine, usually served with a lot of chili.

A great video again. The oil (at 11:14) is called Sichuan pepper corn oil which is extracted from Sichuan pepper corns (usu. shortened as Sichuan pepper or Szechuan pepper). YOU HAD IT IN YOUR NOODLES YESTERDAY. Remember the mouth-numbing sensation? 🤣This oil is at least 10 times stronger due to the high concentration of the substance that makes your mouth prickle and feel numb. Enjoy your stay in Shanghai.

[@Bladesworn]

The bottle is a kind of oil that is mostly used for hotpot. I don't know why the noodle tastes so blend. I suspect you ordered the wrong stuff... lol But that kid was very good. He was eager to practice what he learned from school. I am glad you met with him. I will check out the food there too when I get there next year. I have not been in China for over 20 years. I am definitely going to get the pancake you had. I will tell her she was on the film. LOL

[@user-ui2wj4vc3k]

Generally speaking, rice vermicelli and rice noodles with soup will be paired with Sichuan peppercorn oil or scallion oil, which can enhance the aroma and suppress the fishy smell of meat, especially pork.

The little kid not shy, eager to learn English and be confident ! He said constructed by China !

[@MrSchtickyrice]

The whole deal with Sichuan peppercorns is the flavour confusion it creates in your mouth. It numbs your taste buds and gives different layers to other flavours. You gotta mix it up soy sauce and vinegar and other flavours.

[@JediJean]

The dumplings you had are xiao long bao, it's a famous chinese dumpling that some dim sum places have. It's like a pork meat paste that is cooked by steaming the dumpling, and there's like a broth inside the dumpling, so be careful when you bite into it, cos the hot broth inside can scald your tongue. It's actually pretty funny seeing you try to make your way around chinese food and seeing the chinese people try to talk to your friend in chinese, then they're probably wondering why she looks like them, but can't speak the language. It must seem so strange to them to meet chinese people who can't speak chinese.
