Fried rice by a proffessional chinese wok chef

[shanjo243]

i tried the flip wok thingy in my kitchen - it ended up on the floor, so i got chinese take out instead.

[zeroths666]

that reverse flip of the wok... amazing... been trying for years.. and by the way.. there's a handle.. that most chinese chef use their knee to turn up or down the heat, and no.. it's not made by GE

[Birdnest25]

Ohhh..ma gowd...will you marry me?? LOL

[hkdiva2015]

Wonder if that wok range's flame is controlled by a pedal? I know there's a main lever for the burner.

[lehai12051971]

@hkdiva2015

the pedal is controlled by knee.

[dcboogie]

what is the ingredient at the end?That orange stuff at 1.30?who knows?thanks,

[madman1487]

lol no handle

[MrJffranco5777]

A true Master!!

[charger19691]

I love watching Chinese cooks at work. It's like watching an artist. Very skillful!

[Oldmanwinter100]

This cat started cooking in pre-school I bet.

[xSn0wBerry]

The reason because of the huge flame is not for show but for the flavor imparted due to the high heat! Certain dishes require this flame and the outcome is really nice :) I'm pretty sure that wok is made out of cast iron

[AbstractMan23]

great video!

but never understood why those woks don't have handles. surely that would make life easier than holding it with a cloth...?

[AzBirdDog]

@AbstractMan23 If you look what he is doing, you can see that he's spinning the wok around and around.

I thought of the same thing too, until I seen that he was spinning it.

[yeahyourerightdude]

whoa whoa whoa chill out, dragon master!

Vok Fu Master :)

[charger19691]

This Chef may be The Jackie Chan of Chinese cooking.

[james5943]

[lehai12051971]

this is a chinese restaurant in Eton hotel, Shanghai, China. The wok chef in the video is working with me in Atlantis, the Bahamas.

[Doraemonchina]

@lehai12051971: I want to be a chef, where I can get the training???

[lehai12051971]

@Doraemonchina where do you live?

[tilapiawarrior]

idiots should know that professional wok chefs are well respected. whoever said its just a dead end job doesnt know the first thing about cooking at all.

[lehai12051971]

Wok chefs are respected in a Chinese kitchen. It is not a job for failures! To be a successful Chinese cuisine chef, you must know how to wok.

I am proud that I was a wok chef, and I am still using woks cooking Chinese food in my kitchen.

[pogisiG]

@lehai12051971 in order to Wok,you must learn to crawl first : /

[lehai12051971]

@pogisiG

everybody does!

[MrBonar97]

@lehai12051971 动作很熟练,水平很一般.最多是个commis

[lehai12051971]

@MrBonar97

Commis? 他的月收入有超过六万人民币

[lehai12051971]

The wok cooking is a most important part of Chinese cooking. It’s not an easy cooking skill to learn. It’s not for everyone, not even for all Chinese chefs.

When I stared to know professional wok cooking, I loved it. There are lots of things going on on a wok station, hot water, cold water, oil, condiments, and huge flame. You must move fast and concentrate what you are doing. At the beginning of using a wok, you may either burn yourself or the food. But at sometime, wok cooking is fun.

[HomerJEDL]

ahh 240p we meet again

[CEOcutter]

This wok cooking job are just thing to do in life. Then move on something better. People only work in these kind of condition, cause they got no where else to go and work. Unless you're a chef in a fancy resturant, and have your own tv show and shiet, or own the resturant. You do not want these kind of job, been there before. Rush hour in downtown are brutal with only 3 cook., you come home feeling like shiet, and your salaries don't even make you feel any better. Hard work for little money.

[werewasyo]

@CEOcutter but i love to cook at home adn i would love to get paid to cook all day

[CEOcutter]

@werewasyo

Cooking is just a habit, you want to cook and get paid your whole life, even. You do not know what you are missing. Cooking is not a simple walk. Unless you own a resturant, not just 1 but think big 4, 10, 20 or you at least famous or planning to. Cooking a wok in a resturant is a failures job, it no different than a fast food joint, ask any old dude who been doing that job for a long time, majority will say, it a shithole. I work around people, I know what it like.

[wuxy12]

This is no chinese chef , this is SANJI KUN! :@ trollface! 

[lehai12051971]

@wuxy12

He is Chinese. This video was made in a Shanghai hotel's kitchen.

[wuxy12]

@lehai12051971 i know, that was a joke. sanji is a fiction character..

[WheresMyPho]

@lehai12051971 wuxy was stating a joke... do u not know who sanji is? rofl

[longlat]

@lehai12051971 @wuxy12 他跟你开玩笑呢，SANJI KUN是海贼王里的香吉士，卷眉毛的那个厨子

[davidjohnbonnett]

wow, thats so artistic

[ELGQZ]

shrimp burned rice spicy

[Lamster337]

I like how they are wasting water

[punder]

i can almost smell the fragrant of the wok hei! slurp!!! droolz

[ysssuhi]

@punder shut up

[musicessexx]

Nice clean kitchen. Wish all restaurants were like this. BTW...That stove is awesome!

[werewasyo]

people this is NOT how a wok should be used. 1. use medium high not HIGH heat because of the thin metal will warp shape. if you use high heat you need to use a cast iron which is thick and won't warp. 2) do not let the fire engulf the food liek that because you risk burning yourself and starting a fire in an oil filled kitchen 3. should not be scraping the pan THAT hard with the metal untensil because it will over time scratch/damage the seasoning and leach metal into foods

-restuarant chef

[SuzukiAkiraReita]

@werewasyo Each chef has his/her own preferences. And not all wok's are made of same material. That kitchen is in China, I'm sure they'll know what they're doing. Also, a little iron in the blood doesn't harm, there are even wok's made especially for that (iron wear). ;)

[GooseHinson]

@werewasyo LOL You're joking, right? You realize these woks are industrial strength made specifically for what he's doing? These woks aren't western style teflon covered work, which will break down at high heat. Cooking in high heat is a huge part of chinese wok cooking. "restaurant chef" my ass.

[lehai12051971]

@GooseHinson

Thanks!

[batzomighty]

@werewasyo Restaurant chef my a$s! You, Sir, need a help from gordon ramsey!

[CEOcutter]

@batzomighty

Dude you probably never saw Ramsey hold a wok. He look like a pussy. Search it up, it in one of his videos.

[Bricksta88MoB]

i think he taught the based god how to cook

[MrQuagmire26]

well fried rice is no magic to make. It's really easy. Much chinese wok food is not that complex, it's just a matter of cooking skill, timing, good ingredients and passion. Of course cooking on a 15 000 BTU homestove is nothing compared to those 150k BTU burners in restaurants.

[GooDude323]

where did they get the jet engine from and place it in a stove?

[gunmonkey1185]

@GooDude323 : It would be from GE. Or Pratt & Whitney

[gunmonkey1185]

@GooDude323 GE or Pratt&Whitney.

[Konig1985]

@GooDude323

well, either P&W or GE I suppose

[supertrex2]

Theres no point of boosting the fire like that its for show... and self satisfaction... LOL....

[KrazeDiamond]

@supertrex2 ....

[mikenike504]

@supertrex2 Hardly. Great fried rice has this smoky, sorta burnt taste (not really burnt, but well caramelized, I guess). In a restaurant, that depthful flavor is accomplished quickest through that process.

[mikenike504]

Char is the word! LOL.

[210482fmj]

its interesting to note how when the stove is on max power he mainly keeps the edge of the wok on the flame. IS this to prevent the wok from melting or possibilly contaminating the dish as those burners are like metal melting furnaces in terms of power

[xeeloveanil]

@210482fmj theres a control switch, look carefully at 0.15, he raises his leg to increase power, then slide it down to decrease...hope that answers your question!!

[786swe]

@210482fmj It was to make the side of the wok gets direct heat.

[lehai12051971]

yes, they are light.

[lehai12051971]

shrimp roe

[stevenmix00]

he's like cooking using the hell's inferno

[ethandiaz]

No MSG please!
