You just put a round top. OK now the first thing I want to show you how to do is stir fry some of these. OK. Stir fry the meat with the Jar Jar with the done the sauce. OK here are the walk. Use some garlic if you wish. You don't have to use garlic you can use the garlic. But. If you use non stinking frying pan you'll only have to use a teeny tiny bit of oil. You do not have to
use too much or oil. That's all that's all you really use you don't use the more much more than there is as I want to know some. Stir fry and then you stir fry the meat put it right here.

Now also put some nuts around here to make it into our
gorgeous dish some charcoal drawing room OK. And of course if you prefer you can also use a kind of the pineapple because pineapple is my favorite. Pretty right here. Give color and then when this is done all you have to do is put this John right on top of the noodle. That's why you have job jar min. Look at this. How gorgeous it looks wow look at this. Thank you. Thank you I understand the Bobbie have a question for us over there. Yes when I try to pan fry it being thread noodles I came out with a walk full of mush. Well they can be told problem someone when you buy the package you say mushy rude noodles. Secondly you stir fried it with too
much liquid inside. See when you stir fry you stir fried it. The noodle tend to get stuck because it's too much liquid. So one of the problem is when the solution is you can use a nonstick frying pan and as soon as you stir fried noodle you as soon as you pour the new to sprinkle a tiny bit of coke or sesame seed or so they won't get stuck. OK you heard of pork. There's also mushy noodle. Nothing like this we're going to show you is seafood with pan fried noodles. This is a wonderful family style everyday dish because you can have anything just put them all together. Here we have a quarter pound of prawn. You can use room with squid one whole squid. You can use a quarter pound of scallops. You can also have a tiny bit small half a small carrot. Julian half of an onion cup of mushroom and a couple of two whole green
onion and some snow pea particular under snow is in season. OK now this is very very simple but with all of these you cannot make pin fry you know what don't move though. But don't worry we have one of the wonderful noodle maker. He's going to come out here today in this show to make fresh head make noodle just for all of you his from Doc saying wrong restaurants I must go. Let's welcome Mr. saying wrong's chef the new low man Mr. Wong thank you. Thanks this is an ancient dog. Very few people in the US know how to do this. You start with our global all for noodle all of dough make out of cake flour and
then you need it and you need it until they are long cylindrical like this with some flour. Feed that thing. You. Top. Dog of this week. The best way to get your frustration up. And then you can begin to make it much more elastic. OK apparently Chevron doesn't want me to talk. You keep on feeding it and make sure they won't get stuck on the table and then you twist this from two to four and you twist it again. Great exercise and you twist it one more time. Great for your hip. One more time and thus enough good and then off to bed. You wrote it off. Some more flour and then one more thawing on the horse and then look at
this this is wonderful. You wrote it you wrote it and you wrote it you wrote it and walk and roll roll and roll. And then from one to two you see how you can from too you can make for a geometric progression from four you will have eight from eight you will have 16 from 16 you're going to have 32 from 32 or 64 and you keep on counting and counting until you or you'll run out of produce. Look at this is a fascinating art. It takes years of practice. We were childhood friends when we were little kids we don't have any other toys so we play Newdow gave the. Grand jury did. Mr. Wrong. Oh this is a little night. This is done. I want everybody to believe look at this. I want everybody Lol get this thang.
After this. You had to boil it before you can cook it. So we're going to boil it here than we can use this the noodle just freshly handmade by Mr. Wong story. I'm very much you have one already. Nice guys. Thank you so much. Sure wrongfulness. Thank you. What a fascinating exercise. I love it. I've been trying to practice the whole thing. I've been practicing with this day over the past two years. Never Come on. There's always the same goal. Now this particular dish is very simple.
I will have to marinate all my meats and use these. Marinate this. Of course when you do it as a home you should marinate this with your chopped steak. OK. Do not marinate it with your finger because it's not too nice to do that. So we will marinate it with chopsticks here this is the way it goes. OK. Stir fry stir fry in a bowl. You can. Morris likes to stir it and mix it well let it sit for half an hour or so now and then I'm going to heat up this one here for convenience sake. We uses electric water because you can put it you can work anywhere you want. It doesn't make any difference. So give others the flexibility. First of all heated up and then we use one teaspoon or so of oil. And then when the work is hard enough you add the seafood seafood.
Now make sure when you do stir fry dishes make sure the walk is piping hot. Make sure the oil is hot enough when you put it in. Nothing gets stuck. OK stir fry all. Can you see that. Third Friday third Friday. Now for you for all the new and old in all of the ol Laurie what she noodle as soon as you boil it. Make sure sprinkle with oil. Kind of put oil in your engine so won't get stuck I do argue there not even a gigantic little ball. Third Friday through like this look at how easy it is thorough serve how can you tell the seafood is cold when the sun turned pink when the dog squeezed her own car off like this because there is Shawnee and is they have called her a little bit more thorough a little more Greg exercised. Turn on your test the size Milicic then do it like this. And then the fourth ingredient which is care of
the mushroom and also sliced onion. Okay for those who love snow pea You can also put some snow pea over there. Stir fry or fried stir fry and then you put the sauce. Now when you put makes the sauce. This particular sauce has one cup of broth through a tablespoon of all oyster sauce and also for proximity to the all purpose source source to put this in. And also one tablespoon of sherry. OK and also a tiny bit of wine shower scene wind or dry sherry. When this is done you put a boil noodle right in here. OK see this is not mushy mushroom noodle because I have put oil over there. Oil oil job. It's her fry stir fry and I'm not
quite sure how many you know how beautiful this dish can be. When I put this out you'll be amazed how wonderful this would look. Look at this. Lol get this thang. Thank you Uncle Chris I would like to show you not only you can do our new duo Penn fry noodle dish like this pain fry noodle in Chinese soft charm in towel means stir fry minutes noodle So this is a pen frying tourism also called chow mein.

I would like to take this opportunity. I understand that somebody over there asked me earlier when you cooked noodle
How are you how many minutes you are going to pour it up. Very simple all you have to do is boil off about two and a half to three minutes. OK. Look how beautiful our piece of art. Thanks. Thank you we're going to show you how to make curry rice steak noodle. You may be surprised because this is the only right to never stink I don't want to call Rice steaks.
