Listen up, all you YouTube wannabe Rachel Ray and Gordon Ramsay aspirants: THIS is how you make a proper cooking video. No annoying boom- boom music. No precious, dreamy shots of a potato behind silk and with a sunset behind it. No single 5 minute shots of the cook beating an egg. Good use of pacing, everything progresses briskly but not too fast, and you credit your viewers wih some intelligence by assuming we have a basic set of skills and common sense. So if you say, add some chopped veggies, I don't get all confused unless I see 13 minutes of you chopping a carrot. Well done all around. Thanks for posting this. I can't wait to try it, it looks delicious. I'm looking forward to your next video.

I LOVE the clarity and speed of your demonstration!!! No wasted words. You are very friendly, and yet get to the point so well. Love the summary!!!! Presentation is simple yet substantial - which really helps me as I am new to cooking. Thank you so much for the quick and clear video. Everybody doing videos should follow suit.

I’m 75 years old and have wanted to cook stir fry a long time, now I can cook stir fry at home. For me. Thank you a lot.🎉❤

[hunterlinton]

This was probably the most helpful, concise, informative, and friendly cooking tutorial I've found on youtube.

[kevinmortimer]

I think this is probably THE most useful video I've ever seen concerning this subject. You've cut right through all the nonsense and possibly empowered countless people to eat cheaper and healthier.
Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[stevesurprenant]

If I were to review 150+ you tube videos on Asian cooking (which I did), the important elements and techniques and comments from them all would be contained in your superb video! Thus, you have summarized and demonstrated all the salient points in stir frying anything. It's a perfect video. Amazing.

This woman should have her own cooking program. She is incredibly likable, and down to earth. Plus a recipe is very good.
With the upcoming disaster country could be headed for, any expensive meals that are good for us should be kind of interest to all

Thank you. I’m 87 and still learning. My daughter and her family will be thrilled. Healthy, familiar ingredients, and easy.

[lovettremedios]

[seycas]

I like your style👍. No fuss, no muss, crisp clear instructions... and best of all you give alternatives. Thank you🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🥰

[judithcalderwood]

Cut up the ginger hand into small useable pieces and freeze them. Works great!

[debbiem]

Thanks for pointing out that overloading the veggies ends up steaming them. Explains why mine lose all crunch.

[vanessaamos]

[noahreed]

I just got out of the Marines and am trying to learn how to cook something that's not an MRE. This is perfect! I love the way you broke it down into its key components, very easy to follow along, and I feel like I can start adapting this as needed. Thank you!

[aliyharoberts]

I cooked this last knight with noodles me and my 19 year old grandson loved it he even had a second helping too and even ate all the veggies which he never does thank you so much for sharing this with us I'll be making this more often yummy 👌

[deborahjeanne]

I didn’t know you could freeze ginger! I hate to think about how much ginger I’ve tossed out because it became dry. Thank you so much for this much needed tip!

[karenwright]

Well done! I live in Hawaii and we eat stir fry several times a week! This is a very concise video and easy to follow!

[mariabalderrama]

I love hoisin as well as a tiny amount of toasted sesame oil into the sauce mixture. Makes a huge difference!!

[emeraldcoastgardensfl]

Love the explanation of the difference between frying and steamed and why overcrowding the pan causes steaming. An ah ha moment! 😃

[bshelton]

I ran across this recipe today and I had all of the ingredients already. Made it for dinner tonight. Substituted steak in place of chicken. OMG!! This hit the spot. I've eaten two helpings, 😆. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
