  1. Aww, these guys are so sweet. I loved when the son helped his dad lift the heavy wok, and then the dad says "okay thank you".
    At the end, I was worried that the son was going to serve himself first, and then he gave his dad the first plate. I sighed with relief. Even his dad was worried and when he received the plate he pretty much congratulated him on his manners say "oh you're a good son".
    Reminds me of my dad. Maybe it's a generational thing, but my dad would have looked at me weird too if I dared serve myself before him. Gotta love family, and respect the hierarchy.
    Super cute! 🥰
    Also, great tip on using day old white rice! I'm so making this today (minus the meats and mushrooms). I have a 6 year old's food palet, 😆👍

  2. Pretty much how I make it, except to break up the clumps I put the rice in a plastic ziploc bag and refrigerate, then when the rice is cold, just before using, I break up any clumps in the bag. Then you can dump the whole bag all at once, no clumps! 👍

  3. I had a friend from China who invited me and the kids over for dinner. She was such a lovely girl and I learned so much about her culture. But she cooked everything! There were beef dishes, fish, chicken, pork, and of course fried rice. She showed me how to fix it, but I was never able to get it as good as hers. She had to have cooked all week for this one dinner. SO good!

  4. Wow! I have always been intimidated by Chinese cooking. I felt I didn’t have the knowledge or the proper ingredients. So, I have been passing on these segments. This was wonderful. I now feel after watching, I can wade in and give it a go. Thanks, guys, this was so fun to watch. My guess it’s a ton of fun at the Pang’s family get togethers, not to mention delicious!
