It's now a regular occurrence in my house that my husband asks me where I got my recipe and I answer "from the b-roll guy."

You know this is nice classic Josh. A bit more accessible and easy going, speaking at a calm pace, seemingly a bit more peaceful. A pleasure to watch and follow a solid recipe.

I know this isn't the way my family abroad makes it, but this is definitely how I make it here without access to all the ingredients at my grandma's local market. Thanks for making your videos accessible for people living in midwest America too and taking into account that we can't always get ethnic ingredients.

For what it’s worth, you’re the raddest home chef I’ve come across in personality, video quality, technique, and recipes, imho. I enjoy a few other chefs as well, but you’re my fave! Another great video. Cheers. Good luck in the contest!!

Roses are red, I really like lime

Your B rolls are getting better every single time

I couldn’t believe I have strong tendency to try your chinese receipts even as I am a Chinese. I could follow a lot of Chinese master chiefs to make this and I wanted to choose yours. You are the bomb! Love your style and enjoy so much of every single episode. Thank you!

Josh: B O N E L E S S like my pizza

Made this for dinner tonight for papa's Char Siu Bao recipe and let me tell you this pork comes out amazing. I cooked mine longer for extra crispy bits and it was perfect. I followed his recipe exactly with no ingredient substitutions (except not having bean sauce). I kept eating it while cutting it up. Highly recommend, it's pretty easy. Thank you papa love you <3

I usually don’t like when people self promote for contests and stuff, but this guy deserves the votes.

I made this and some bao buns for the first time and served it to my family as the first meal I made on my own, from buying everything, to cooking and they loved it!

Rewatching this and showed it to my Chinese father-in-law: "Too much work. Just use the jar sauce, it's very good."

Josh, this was friggin' amazing. Made this last week, worked like a charm, perfect step-by-step. Can't thank you enough, first time was the charm for sure.

I sense some Char Siu Bao coming later this week....

I’m from Mississippi and that’s the most southern “Dammit” I’ve ever heard.

Josh:“There’s another common way it’s eaten”
Me: BAO BAO BAO BAO BAO BAO

hi joshua! my mom passed away a few weeks ago due to covid and i never got her char siu recipe. thank you so much for sharing your char siu recipe. im going to make some char siu tonight in her memory...

Ahhh awesome! The way you cook it (in an oven) is spot on. The marinade is almost the same as me and my moms; we just add a couple cloves of garlic, some ginger, and a mix of light and dark soy. You should definitely try your hand at Hainan Chicken, I think that dish would be right up your alley. Chicken poached in chicken stock, which in turn is used for cooking the rice. Best of all, one of the best dipping sauces IMO, the ginger scallion sauce.

I just finished roasting this... I didn't have any Chinese 5 spice so I had to ground up my own! Holy crap... its delicious. I used honey that was harvested from an apple orchard. This honey really smells like apples and it worked great!

hey Joshua love your work. your videos are very easy for foodie home cooks to understand, so that's why i often link your videos when my friends ask for recipes.

i am a line cook, and i definitely appreciate the nuances of watching you produce chef level cooking i often pick up on random things you do like how you set up your station, or a specific technique on something like how you hold a tool a certain way or mix some batter.

btw, love your new kitchen.

I'm about to put this together for a second time. The first time was already mind-blowing, and I didn't have the fermented bean curd. I have everything now. Can't wait to enjoy this at it's fullest.
