Oh. The old.

And the Chinese Chai even this garlic chives omelet and ginger in my mom's Ginger beef. So stay tuned for a whole new grown Asian flavors mix onion can cook. Yeah.

Do you know that at one time authentic Asian dishes were hard to find the proper English was simply not available in other parts of the world. I have good news for you. Now you can find them everywhere and a lot of your local
supermarket today we're going to cook with some of the home grown Asian flavors that you can do it at home because you can go in around your backyard Fergus's and this particular dish I call pie and shrimp toast. This is a hot and spicy Santos and I use a lentil. You see most people one device a lentil. This pot is already gone. You see the cilantro root in this particular dish I use the Cilento root I throw in the root unique taste. Nothing is wasted. That's a reason why I don't even have a garbage bosal. OK in this holiday this year I'm going to talk about some cilantro and some celestial roots to use it as flavor and very unique flavor. OK and then charge it up. Thank
you Paula is always with me. Make sure you put your brain again. You're not going you're not course a guy never never had time to get too excited then. Never. OK when this is nice and done you chop it up make sure this is ready and then you set it aside and you put it into this nice pausa because we're going to blend everything together OK. In the meantime always clean up. You know if you watch yanking cook show you know that we always take time to clean up this way. By the time you finish you don't have a mass. OK. Very important and then I want to show you how easy it is to cut up to make a little triangle bread this one day old bread. OK this one is firmer easy to handle. Use fresh bread a little too soft and then they also a little too heavy. They soak up too much oil. Save these. Don't throw those away
save these for bread crumb. OK cut it up some of the side OK. Set aside right here and then I want to show you how easy it is to men's room here. To save time. Will it get out that walk with about three and have cups of oil so we can try this rum toast how they do this in China when they don't have a food processor. They used this Chinese a food processor. How do you miss it you go Oh Don. There is a nun modulus. Well done. Well. Done. And then off to bed. If you have to do a lot of these is how you do it. You mentioned all do get to know. What it is. Thank you. Thank you. I have all done this how humid is it in China. OK when this is all done you put approximately a quarter
pound of shrimp for a pound of ground pork. I did the same thing I get up at 5 o'clock this morning and chop this dumb thing I'm so crazy. Jean I appreciate this particular dish I put all these together put it in this food processor OK and then the rest of this I'm going to fill in all the ingredient look at this. I have this shrimp toast will give you a perm. It was small. Your hair you can put a tiny bit of these chopped Serrano. Wow you want hot stuff I give you hot stuff. OK this is going to be so hot. You won't be able to talk for three weeks and then. Some garlic and ginger once again. Let's put some got it done garlic. OK. One teaspoon garlic some salt and some pepper. Put it right in here. I mean can also put a tiny tiny bit of white and then I blend this and make it into a puree piece The good thing about a
food processor is got one button called puree which my night doesn't have a look at it. You can actually read up on why you're doing this. Write the recipe on the corner of all of these and I have all of that. Done. When this is done you take it out and I want to show you how easy it is. OK this dish is so easy to do. Everybody can do it and we take this out. We will put this right over here this is really a unique dish you know this is very powerful in Thailand. More normally most of the shrimp tows just use assume they do not use pork. So when you deep fried this make sure you do not defraud over too high a heat otherwise something will be overcooked and then something is on the coke and bloody rule. Make sure are nice and smooth. That is how beautiful
nice and smooth like this don't make a mess. OK look at this. When this is done said the society. And then when you deep fry. Here's how you do it. Now why do you use one no big bread because this way this little guy get a little tougher firmer piece so it can really take heed. Well that is one put it upside down like this. There is nothing strange about putting shrimp on a toast. The London Australia they put a straw man the one in the Bobby and I don't mean the Bobby dome. Logue it is this is all nice and done you turn them around. It doesn't take too long to do one don't slam dunk again slightly slightly put it down use a long cooking stop say stay away from your own oil so you don't get burned or splash things over. Turn them around. Use this. Turn them around. Turn them around and it looks really nice until that golden brown you turn them over like this.
This is very easy to do when that's done you'll move it. Take this out take this out and I want to show you how beautiful this is. Let it drain well. OK let it drain well. Ok I'm done. Wow wow. Wow. And then when it's done you go one line the more nicely. Two three four five. 6. This is TELL ME. And here you have a beautiful book. Ah yes. Cold thought might. Make. This. This particular dish I call and sour shroom soup. The swim today actually have one heck of a busy day. First you get to make toast. No you have to make soup. I'm a little disappointed big shrimp.

And where you could put them all together. And I also want to quickly show you because in this particular dish we're going to need some Shero of this room. Here is how quickly you can shell because I'm going to keep the slim shell hole into one tool the whole thing comes out like this and the whole thing comes out. I put this over here. We say for this will quickly do or not the one one tool. OK. Do it very very quickly. OK wery quickly put him over here and put them all back here and the first thing I would do for this particular addition I'm going to quickly sauteed the shell is a very unique dish. He decides with a tiny time just a few drops of oil and then put the shell right here. Until they turn pink. Have you ever. Since
people. Stir fry shells. This is a very unique case. And do they have pink and then I have this pink you all you have to do is put some lemon grass. I have to start lemon grass when you use lemon grass. Make sure to get rid of these very woody fibers part you can use it and get rid of the bottom part which is also very fibrous and also for a really good dish. You should remove the first couple of shelf. This is also very fibrous you only use the bottom of a pot like this and slightly present is a little bit to get the flavor. For a stun gun and then you get the alder flavor and also a tiny bit of its surrender of all people. Shirley. Put them all together. Stir fry and also have some lying. In line. This is line skin. OK. Put a
tiny tiny bit. Make sure you use about five cups of chicken broth. Look at this. Cook it for approximately 25 minutes or so because you need the flavor to come out OK. Very important to cook it for approximately 25 minutes. But since we have so many people in audience and I still have to have enough to serve to Jean at home so we have twice as much I want to show you this has been cooked for about 25 minutes I'm going to lose this and I put it over here because we're going to save it for myself. And August 25 minutes. All you have to do is drain it. You get them during this. Look at this. You don't want this. OK you want to get with this. All the flavor is already inside in the broth. So we will. Put the rest of the ingredient here. Here I have some straw mushroom OK. Put it right in here. I have some. Can I put it on. We're filing here OK. And I also have extra lime
juice. I'm going to have approximately. Two tables or more lime juice and about tablespoon of fish sauce. OK when this is brutal boy make sure you bring to a boil. OK let's bring this to a boil. Stir this nice and then when you bring to a boil all you have to do is gonna ship gonna ship with the following grimness also remove this. So we have a lot of space.
