Master The Secrets of Authentic Chinese Cooking

I’ll Show You How to Cook the Most Popular, Delicious and Easiest Chinese Dishes

When choosing which Chinese dishes to include in this course, I wanted them to meet a certain criteria. Each dish had to be representative of authentic Chinese cuisine, extremely popular, easy-to-master, and can be prepared in your own home kitchen. The 8 classic Chinese dishes that I’ve selected create a wonderful balance between meat and vegetables. They include 2 seafood dishes, 4 meat dishes, 2 vegetarian dishes, and 2 bonus dishes to be unlocked, each of which has their own distinct cooking characteristics. For the 2 special vegetarian dishes, their main ingredients are cucumber, bok choy, and mushroom. I’ll show you a nifty knife technique to demonstrate the amazing versatility of cucumbers.

We will cover the most practical cooking techniques such as stir-frying, roasting, steaming, frying, wet-frying, deep frying, pan grilling, and more. I’ll also share with you many of my most coveted culinary “secrets,” including my deep-frying technique to ensure that shrimp has the best taste with crispy skin and very tender meat. You’ll also learn my unique method for achieving the perfect balance between sweet and sour for 'Sweet and Sour Pork', and other techniques that you won’t find anywhere else. After learning these methods, you’ll gain more confidence, and can start can experimenting with different ingredients on your own that will inspire more recipe ideas.

No Special Equipment or Hard-to-Find Ingredients Required

Preparing authentic Chinese food need not be complicated or high end for the average cook. No wok or restaurant-style pro burner? No problem! While a Chinese wok is traditionally used for Chinese food, you can still make restaurant-quality dishes in a frying pan on your stovetop. For the most part, we will be using the most common seasonings found in your kitchen that make preparation simple, fun and hassle-free. Of course, we will also use some unique seasonings in Chinese cuisine, such as cooking wine and oyster sauce. They’re easy to find in a regular grocery store or a Chinese supermarket. You can also find them online.

You’ll Master the Most Common Chinese Cooking Techniques

My course will give you a basic understanding of Chinese cooking, including knife techniques, various cooking styles, proper cookware, and the most commonly used condiments. I’ll teach you how Chinese food magically combines these condiments to create the exquisite flavors you love, as well as the reasoning behind each choice so you can reach a new level of control over taste.

I’ll also show you how to choose and combine wonderful ingredients, and which preparation and cooking methods to use for enhancing their properties – such as how to ensure that beef is juicy and tender, how to remove the fishy smell of shrimp, which type of pork belly to use for crispy roast pork, and other “insider” culinary knowledge. By gaining a deep understanding of the ingredients, you’ll better understand how to bring out their wonderful taste, no matter which recipes you’re preparing.

There is one other special thing about this class -- I will use both "restaurant professional-level practice" and "home-style practice"" for a few selected dishes. This will not only meet the operating environment of most home kitchens, but if you are willing to challenge yourself, you can choose professional-level practices that will let you further elevate your culinary skills!

Create Delicious Solo or Group Meals With 8 Versatile Dishes

Whether you’re solo dining, creating a dinner for another person, or a large group, these dishes provide amazing versatility to fit all your dining needs. I’ve included a wide range of options, including appetizers, main dishes, meat and vegetarian dishes. You can simply cook a 'Fried Shrimp' or a 'Crispy Pork' dish, which is perfect with a glass of beer or a soft drink. Or, you can choose two dishes to make a wonderful meal for two, which is true comfort food when served with white rice. Another option is to show off your new Chinese cooking skills at gatherings, since the menu is diverse enough to satisfy a dinner party of 4 to 6 guests.

The beauty of Chinese cooking is that it conveys your 'warm heart' with food. You can enjoy food and be happy just by cooking, and pass that joy to other people.

I'll Show You the Entire Cooking Process From Preparation to Plate

This is a unique opportunity to observe every single thing I do on the cooking table to create classic Chinese dishes. I’ll show you how to evaluate the temperature of the oil, what is the “huo hou” (control of heat), the best time to add seasonings, and how to know when a dish is finished by the color and condition of the ingredients. By showing these details in the most visual manner, it will help you retain this crucial information, and deepen your understanding, so you no longer have to figure out recipes by yourself. You’ll quickly master the specific cooking skills to create each dish, and become more confident to cook additional Chinese meals on your own.
