Oh my goodness, looks amazing! We love your Chinese style recipes can’t wait to try this one.
Wow. Yum! Thanks for the baking soda tip ☺️
I thought black pepper when I read the title. Looks delicious. Stir-fries are my favorite meal.
Bernard Manning doing recipes i love. Whats not to like!
Oh dear! You just murdered the beef! Let us Chinese do our own cooking!
Smashing Rik 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
That’s a winner in my books and belly!!❤
Raped Male And Female Animals . Stop Eating Tortured Forcibly Raped Animals And Eat The Same Dish With Out Animals . Google this dish
Love your videos, Rick❤
Perfect video to watch while I’m enjoying Chinese food
Thank you. I have the meat “velveting” a new technique for me. Veggies are cut and sauces is made, just waiting. If you ever write a cookbook I will buy it. My only question was about the beef, I was not sure how to cut it up. I normally just roast this cut for 8hrs in a slow cooker, so am not use to dicing it up.
Excellent ❤
Your cooking pan seems to handle ll dishes! Thanks for what you give us.
This guy reminds me of that one cool history teacher you had in HS
Looks fantastic Rik, so quick colourful and best of all good for us, you're the best. Im going to enjoy this with noodles and a few beansprouts stirred in at the end 😊x
Tomorrow's dinner
Do love a stir fry 😋cheers Rik for sharing .
G'day RICK
I WOULD PREFER my Asian spread
ALL THE SAME.
WET AND MOIST. . …..
This looks incredible Chef! I enjoy large chucks of peppers and onions too as they tend to keep their texture. Thanks for sharing 😋
Looks delicious,I need to buy some beef,as you have made several Chinese style beef dishes I would like to make,I never really buy beef,except for ground as I like an occasional burger. I love your answers to some of the comments on your channel, as I read the comments,I often think Rik’s answer to this one will be good.😂
Looks delicious Rik, I make similar but use garlic and chilli sauce instead of hoi sin. Another thing that used to annoy me was all the faff with the baking soda velveting. All the rinsing etc yet I still got that sodium taste. That was until I was taught to use potato starch, that worked but not as good. Then this chef told me to use Korean pear grated, I couldn't source one so used a normal pear, it worked! (It's the enzymes) So straight from velveting bowl to wok. Not only was the beef tender but it had a very nice sticky and sweetish tang to it. Goodbye rinsing and patting dry. Your dish looks terrific though. 👍👍👍
Scrumptious Rik… I mean the dish! 😂sorry. Seriously that looks so yummy . Thank you dear Rik. ♥️🙌🏼. I’ll be passing this one on to friends too. ☺️.
I have to try this! Looks great
Oh yum! That looks terrific, will def try this 😊
A lovely little recipe there mate full of flavour and colour and congratulations on reaching 290k subscribers!
Perfect for the weekend 👍
Thank you! Very simple ingredients. Just soy sauce and sesame oil. Wow! It looks magnificent! ❤
Yum another delish recipe Rik. Thank you.
Another top notch looking Asian recipe I will make soon. Your Asian recipes have always been delicious. Thanks mate😊
😋
Looks delicious, I bet it would be nice in a wrap too
If it tastes as good as it looks… 🥰🧡
Saturday takeaway. Does the job xxxx
Looks lovely as always, Rik. Just to clarify, is baking soda the same as bicarbonate of soda?
I know what is for dinner tomorrow!! Thank you Rik!!
Amazing sauce
Looks fantastic. Never heard of the velveting technique and will certainly be trying your recipe.
Another great one!
One really has to wonder which genius first thought up how to tenderise beef with baking soda. I mean its crazy when you think about it not within the normal realms of flavouring, its missing something I have an idea sort of thing. An old girl friend cook used to say you eat with your eyes and doesn't that dish look pretty.
That is a very very brilliant fabulous take away at home dinner to cook for your misss lovely Rick ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My wife is your loyal fan. She wants to know where she can get that wok/pan you're using in this episode?
Wow! That’s a pretty dish. The beef looks so tender. Love it!
Looks fantastic. I'll be shopping tomorrow and picking up more peppers to make this. I'll veganize it but with that lovely sauce it won't disappoint. Have you ever done a lo mein?
Thanks for showing the velveting technique. It's a must do for cheaper and tougher cuts of meat.
Folks, when buying baking soda, look for one that's 'Aluminum Free' so there's no metallic taste in the meat.
Thank you for the recipe.
Cheers Rik 👍🤤
