I grew up eating this and absolutely love it. My family would normally just eat it with white rice alone and I never knew there were multiple recipes you could make with it. Thank you for sharing these recipes. I'm definitely going to try these!

[@ishiiowada3884]

Eat with white rice alone. I am sure that the product is meant to serve that purpose.🤓

[@amb931]

Me too! Definitely going to try these recipes for my family and I.

[@stephenho5272]

I have eaten this for 50+ years, just warm it up, give me a bowl of rice and I’m a happy man 😋🥰

[@spicydogsoup]

wow, you're still alive. Amazing!!!!

[@gideonTeli]

I am definitely making the Eggplant and Dace recipe!! I love eggplant and I love tinned fish and I love fermented black beans. This will be a winner!!

[@johnyee9645]

I love fried dace with black beans. Grew up with it and I still love it. There are a variety of fried dace you can buy so make sure to check the labels. I made the mistake of just picking up a stack and some were of another kind.

[@tanyanlim3425]

That happened to me the other day. I grabbed a few since they were on sale and there were no black beans inside when I arrived home and opened one of them. The taste is ok but I prefer the one with black beans.

[@lynn2fitxx290]

Hi Mandy...thank you so much for these additional recipe for Fried Dace. Now I have added these to my repertoire. 🙂. This is one of my favorite canned good, which was prepared differently. I also shared this recipe to my sister. Everyone enjoys it. This recipe was shared to me by an elder Thai lady almost 35 yrs ago and I still prepare it this way. Ingredients consist of a can of Fried Dace (better with black bean), half a bunch of cilantro (cut up), 2-3 talks of green onion, 1-2 jalapeno pepper (diced), half of a large sweet onion (or shallot), juice of 1 lemon, Knorr liquid seasoning, and hot sauce. Take out the fried dace just like yours, cut into bite pieces (minus the bones). Set aside the oil & black beans while preparing for the salad. Cut the cilantro, green onions, onion (or shallots), & jalapeno and put them in a bowl. Top it with the cut up Fried dace. Add the black beans (without the oil), mix carefully (to keep the fish still intact), Drizzle the lemon juice, the knorr liquid seasoning, hot sauce & a little bit of the reserved oil. Taste it & adjust the spiciness, the heat & the saltiness with liquid seasoning.

[@claudiafrancisca6983]

Again you make me a bit emotional. This episode brings back memories of my father and me eating this fish, often just with white rice, when I was a student. My mother hated this, so we ate this at my place. Thanks Mandy, for bringing back sweet memories.

[@DavidAlexander-iy9uu]

That's an extremely touching story. I can picture you two eating this together away from Mom that didn't like it. It was something you two could share.

[@claudiafrancisca6983]

@@DavidAlexander-iy9uu Thank you. My dad and I shared the same taste. He learned to cook at a very young age from the Chinese cook he and his parents had (in Indonesia). I think she was more a mother to him than his own. Many of the recipes Mandy makes are the same as he made for me at my place. That's why I love Mandy's recipes so much.

[@darwinkius]

Mandy, you work so hard to bring us delicious recipes 🙏 Thank you!

[@banjo1434]

I loved eating this stuff in China. Especially for breakfast with a little rufu on a mantou. It was virtually free too! But here in the UK it's very expensive, and while I often see it in the Chinese supermarket, I don't buy it. Perhaps I should splash out and treat myself for old times sake?

[@vivien2020]

Love this kind of recipes where we can use can food mix with other ingredients and very quickly can get meals on the table in no time.... TQ Mandy !

[@abbaddon6667]

i am Cantonese , and i love food ...and i totaly agree with your cooking on these ... These are very practical tips and the food/dishes are exactly the way it is/was when my own mother cooked them 40 years ago .. 👍👍👍

[@jamesnew5724]

I'd like if you made a vid showing how to make this kind of dry fried fish at home. Love fried dace.

[@timbillings6884]

👍👍

[@kiwimax4659]

Of all the wonderful and helpful videos you've made for us, Mandy, I think this is my favorite. Your presentation is so clear and the information is very accessible. I want to try everything! Thank you.

[@Koji-888]

I agree. Been watching for years and this just feels a bit different. Maybe more relaxed and relatable. More warm or homey ??

[@loosweeee3129]

She is good in both cooking n narrating. She made it so easy to understand. Good job girl

[@jusdeorange]

I've lived in China for almost 8 years, and have always seen this tinned fish in every shop, but didn't want to buy it because I was unsure how to cook with it, but then upon seeing your last recipe with the bitter melon, I went out to my local store and bought a few tins, and oh my goodness! It was amaaaazing!! I like the eggplant recipe, I will try that this weekend. Thanks!

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

I learned about canned dace in fermented black beans from Chris and Steph at Chinese Cooking Demystified and really loved its versatility and punch of flavor it adds with little effort. I always keep a can in my pantry, right next to the tuna. Honestly, most of the time I eat it over freshly made, hot rice, maybe with some garlic and ginger added if I’m feeling fancy. The dace with lettuce sounds amazing! I love recipes that let the vegetables shine for themselves, so this is perfect. I bet it would be equally good with Chinese celery, cabbage, watercress, pea shoots and more. Maybe bitter greens like frisée, endive, and arugula would be better? Thanks again for practical, well-researched recipes and step by step videos and

[@Cowzone7]

I would absolutely LOVE to know how to make fried dace! Have always been curious 🌸 until now it’s just been a mysterious can of magic delight that you get from the grocery store with no idea how it’s really made

[@diva555sg]

This is my go-to with porridge if I want a warm tummy on a cold chilly day.

[@DavidAlexander-iy9uu]

I so agree.😊

[@drakdragon]

I got your Wok for Christmas. It's got to be one of the best woks ive ever used. Works great with my induction cook top, and it's got a nice weight too. High quality stuff, highly recommend others to get one. The lid and tool that came with it are very nice too, I was surprised at the lid inclusion especially.

[@yieyie4262]

I believe it's called stem lettuce in English. I loveeee fried dace. Would love to see how it's made.

[@splendidcolors]

I learned so much about cooking eggplant, thank you! Everything looks delicious.

[@galesmith9677]

I just tried the dace with bitter melon dish. We all love it! It's an affordable dish. So quick, easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing!

[@renatoodfina5016]

Growing up poor this was one of my faves since the eighties. Till the stores stop stocking the ones with fermented black beans. But in my love for Asian stores big and small I have finally found one I can access everyday if I got that Dace and bean urge. I definitely will try that recipe.

[@knightstar1312]

Thanks for showing how to prep dace. In the past I wanted to try canned dace but wondered how its prepped. Now I can make an authentic chinese meal. 🥣

[@Marcel_Audubon]

the first recipe with eggplant is so colorful! beautiful!

[@OptimumServices416]

What a fantastic video! I remember eating this with white rice with my parents when I was a little boy. Have bought it off and on over the years and still love it. My mom has passed now but i think im going to make the eggplant and fried dace to share with my dad. I think he will find it really amusing that I am actually cooking it in a dish. Thank you so much for the video!

[@jenniferwong863]

Thank you Mandy for sharing. 4 Great recipes 👍

[@mysterious_ninja]

Thank you for this video! I find these videos very interesting where you show us how to use different products that we see all the time in Asian supermarkets without knowing what they really are and without knowing how to use them.

[@lilliegarza7401]

So happy to have found your channel! Now I have the right help to make these dishes correctly ❤

[@xxPenjoxx]

I have walked past these in the store, so thank you for showing us 4 different ways! My husband really likes the look of the fish meatball recipe.

[@andymohan20]

Im using my husband's phone hence the name above😅. My Dad would just open a can of this and give use with rice. With some kind of vegetables on the side. He never cooked it with anything. It's only some years ago that my husband and I discovered that u can cook it with bitter melon. Which was one of my husband's favourite vegetable.

[@joejackson3415]

Perfect cookware set and love measures inside your wok is what I need to master. 😮

[@mattsanchez4893]

I'm never disappointed by your videos, there's always something new that I've never tried and you do such an excellent job of demonstrating their preparation in such a charming, interesting and thorough manner!!

[@classical7]

My favorite!! Especially the one with fermented black beans. I always heat it up & top it off with egg noodles and various chinese greens...both steamed or boiled. Simple & delicious. Thanks for extra recipes. 😊

These first two look so easy and delicious! I especially can't wait to make the eggplant one.

[@annstewart8506]

Omg! I am going to try this recipe as I have seen these cans of fish and now know how to use them. It may be a great interactive idea if you ask your viewers to present an ingredient that they don't know how to cook.❤ u Mandy!

[@paulineohea175]

Thank you for explaining this product. I won’t by pass now 😊

[@tbo92]

Thank you for sharing all these wonderful recipes, Mandy 👍 I usually just eat the fish and fermented beans right out of the can with a big bowl of steamed rice bc I don't have the patience to wait 😅 By the way, I would recommend to use Google search for things you don't know but would like to find out what it is. Just click the little camera icon in the Google search bar on your phone and take a picture of the subject. You can then search for it or if the picture contains text Google could translate it too. Give it a whirl ✌️

[@jayf4612]

My grandmother just loved fried dace and would make it as often as possible back in the 70s through the 90s. She would mainly steam it with the black beans and serve stir fried vegetables on the side or the tomato egg side dish.

[@JayyBee5557]

Thanks for the recipes Mandy

[@chihuahuasrule1175]

Please make a fried dace video if you could. I've eaten it with plain rice, then decided to make fried rice with the remainder in the past, but I've never bought one with the beans. I'm really loving the "different recipes you can make with the ingredients you normally pass by in an Asian store" themed videos. I love Asian stores because I learn something new each time I go there with all the different ingredients, and I also love trying new Asian recipes and flavors.

[@BrutalCarnage]

this is my childhood fav. In the UK they banned them for a few years because there was a problem with the manufacturing of dace but they brought them back a few years ago!!!

[@naekosl3059]

Import Restriction by the FDA occurred due to fish farms using carcinogenic antibiotic Malachite Green.

[@mamacarrol5799]

[@brownkiddy77]

I grew up eating this as well not everyday but yea at times you don’t need to fry it already fried so keep that in mind everyone

[@Zannellure]

Yes pls. I want to learn how to make this dace fish. Thk you.❤😘

[@garygarygary6162]

This is my favourite. I use it for Japanese chatsuke or stir fry with bitter melon or zucchini or cucumber. Remember to add a tiny bit of sugar when stir fry. Delish!

[@cva9928]

Grew up eating this in Singapore when times were slightly tough to live with. But we made the best out of it by mashing the beans and dumping it into a cup of rice to make porridge. And then we will use the fish and fry it with some Gai Lan spinach.

[@haileybalmer9722]

Thank you so much! I got a can of dace, because someone told me it was great. Then I got it home and realized I didn't know what to do with it.

[@pikakerose]

next time i go to our chinatown i will look for this dace with black beans thank u for recipe it looks delicious

[@gregbowen617]

The name of Chinese lettuce in English is Celtuce - it is available here in Australia as a fresh vegetable with the stem attached or as seeds to grow your own...we have a can of the preserve in our pantry at the moment...

[@juniozvideos]

I grow celtuce in the Redlands, Queensland, and use in salads, and in Asian cooking. Perfect!

[@lindajin1257]

Not the same, but those two are in the same family though, we eat the stem of the celtuce, but youmaicai for the sweet leafs.

[@maxxq874]

I love fried dace with black beans! I've never tried it in cooking other dishes. I will have to try this. Thank you.

[@CGSteve8718]

You earned a new subscriber. I am an ethnic Cantonese Chinese American and I grew up eating fried dace. My parents luckily are still with me but are getting very old so they do not cook as much anymore. Your videos help me keep some of these dishes alive. As you said, these are homestyle Cantonese dishes that you cannot, or rarely, order in restaurants. If you grew up in Guangdong, the only thing that would make the videos better is if you spoke in Cantonese instead of Mandarin!

[@Glee73]

just had some a couple of days ago and now i suddenly see it everywhere on youtube! ;) I usually have it with plain white porridge.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Had this from time to time growing up, surprisingly legit.
