So glad these videos are still around. Thank you Brothers Green for inspiring me to cook and taking the complexity out of the process.

I've watched a lot of videos and you're #1 at making it look soooo easy!
God bless

Here's the trick for the vegetables. You fry your spicy veggies first. Onions, garlic, hot peppers, pepper flakes, etc. Then, you do your meat. Finally you put the rest of your veggies in and add soy, hoisin, oyster, and what ever sauce turns you on. Add 1/2 - 3/4 cups of cold water in and cover. The steam will build up inside the cover. When the steam starts puffing out around the cover, the veggies are done. Add in you corn starch or tapioca starch slurry in until it thicken and gets to a darker colour. You are done. This makes crunchy veggies just like good old Andy Chan used to make. Andy was a Chinese chef and a friend of my father. He thought me the technique. He was a very nice man.

Imagine being this guy’s roommate.
Life would be hella good.

[claytongross]

You had me at "walka walka" comment but then you sealed the deal with the "roll it like a nice joint"." SOLD😁

[zombiesforyou]

Josh, try marinating the raw meat/seafood with cornflour, cooking oil, soy sauce, white pepper and pinch of sugar before the actual cooking. It'll come out really tender and flavourful. Chinese trick :)

loving the made up words as your cutting the veg.

I love how he low-key knows what he’s doing, but does it with the persona of a novice. Straight dope. And pass that!! 💨

[theesky]

when he said Umami I immediately thought about Shokugeki No Soma or Food Wars. I LOVE that show and it's amazing that everything they make on the show you can make yourself and it's already been explained on how to cook everything while you're watching XD

[joshjr]

Honestly one of the best cooking vlog's I've watched on youtube, simply because your personality shines through, and your viewers can see that you enjoy cooking! This is great! @Brothers Green Eats

[daveygivens]

And that concludes this week's episode of "High AF in the Kitchen"

[kevincameron]

At the beginning I was skeptical about your knowledge of Chinese cooking. but when I saw the wok I knew you mean business

[curbyweaver]

"Brothers Green Eats"!! I love your uninhibited neurotic style, it's like spending an afternoon with my brother again. (he's been dead for about 20 years) Glad I watched.

[endmepls]

This guy is really inviting like he's kind of intense but I feel like he'd be really fun to hang out with.

[joanray]
