Hello, everybody Hi, everybody Today we are going to cook Chinese New Year dinner I remember last year we were a bit late to cook it We made too much, we made it until it was dark So let's keep it simple this year Make some chicken, duck, pork and fish Just a few simple dishes We have rabbit heads for the Year of the Rabbit And the rabbit leg And this spicy rabbit Then this chicken will be made into Sichuan mouth-watering chicken For those, make it into Ba Ba Meat A big pot of it This will be steamed beef For the pork hock, make it into Old Mama's Pork Trotters And Braised Hock Make this piece of pork belly into Red Braised Pork Also make a Sweet Sandwich Pork Make a sweet one instead of the savoury one Make two dishes And for Chinese New Year, how can you not have a sausage and cured meat platter? Cured Meat Platter And then The chicken, duck, meat and fish must be included There is the duck, sweet skinned duck And then there's this some veggie dishes Sweet Silk Taro Stir-fried Cauliflower in Dry Pot Then Bok Choy in Soup We also have some fish and prawns That's all the dishes, keep it simple Come on, let's start with the preparation Okay I'll start with this Pork belly Part for the Sweet Sandwich Meat Part for Red Braised Pork You deal with the hocks I'll process them later together Okay Cut the meat first Make two bowls of Sweet Sandwiched Pork For two bowls, make them bigger, this long Cut it off This one is particularly nice For making sandwich meat This is particularly good Okay, the rest of pork for red braised Cut them a bit bigger Actually, we just take our time with the New Year's Eve dinner Don't be in a hurry, right? Enjoy cooking Usually because I'm busy A lot of time is in a panic We'll take our time today Yes 1,2,3,4,5,6 Make two big portions Make it solid Big fish, big meat Okay, it's done with this The beef is sliced up too Okay, put all the prepared ingredients in front One by one Put hock here Those dishes to be made first For making these dishes For example This sandwich meat This Mouthwatering Chicken And this Braised Pork This Hock and Old Mother's Trotters Those takes long time to be cooked And also We can parboil them in one go The water for parboil is good It can be used to soak this chicken Don't waste the boiling water It's easy The last of those water Don't dump either Use it to cook that sausage and cured meat You got it? But Only if you leave some soup For the beef Also for making Ba Ba Meat You know Yes That will be fresh soup We need to plan it out wisely for that many dishes That's the key Good I'll boil the water now Parboil the ingredients that should be parboiled Give them all a go For example, this piece of meat I'll just prepare other dishes, Chef You just do your things Then add this meat down too And this hock and pig's feet For the chicken, we'll add it last Let's parboil these first Remove some of the blood It's actually very easy to make one of those dishes But the more dishes you make in one go, it become harder The test is not how well a chef cooks one dish It's about the ability to coordinate There are things that can be done in one go Then try to use one pot of water to cook to the end Take your hand away from the food, don't hold it down Okay It's a bit dangerous Yes You should keep your hand away from the knife when you chop it with force, you know? The other hand retracts when you lift the knife up I'll just cut it with cross cut Yes, cut it Without cutting off the end Four cuts will be enough Okay, good Four pieces, cut it into four pieces, that's enough If you cut it small, it will fall apart Loose To loose After cutting, wash it thoroughly There could be worms, sand inside I'll wash them in a big tub later Let me see what time it is It's two o'clock We should We should expecting the dinner at five o'clock The water is boiling here Get rid of the blood foam Don't throw away the water for parboil the meat This is very useful Very useful Don't throw it away This is good stuff Okay, the Red Braised Pork is ready Take them out Let's see how this meat looks Not bad Put them aside for now I'll braise them in a master stock later Braise them until they are soft, then thicken the sauce Very easy Take a look See if the hock ready The same This hock is the same Braise with pork belly After braising, finish by thicken the sauce These two dishes are done in one pot This will save us some time Put it aside for now Okay, let's get the pig's feet out Give it a stew Put them in this small pot Then give it enough soup If the soup is not enough, you can add more later This soup is very good Add a little bit of ginger Add some more of lard Add a small piece of Bai Zhi Good Put it over here and cook it on low heat Use a very small flame Okay, next one This big piece of meat is set too Fish it out You don't have to cook it throughly It will be fine Put it in a pot Okay, ready to cook the chicken For the chicken Because it's a cold dish So you can cook it first and leave it there without any problems Give it a bit scalding first Put it in cold water Good Down again Hot Then cold water again Let the chicken skin shrink a few more times The more it shrinks, the more tender crunchy the skin becomes Okay, put it down Cook it for a while For boil the chicken, we need to put in some salt A bit of salt, not too much Then Also add two pieces of ginger Because we need to use this soup again So don't add other spices to it, like wine so that it doesn't affect the taste of the soup Then wait for this meat to cool before we cut it Put it aside for now Chicken cooks very quickly if it's only half-sided I usually just cook it 8 minutes Then soak it in hot soup for another 15 minutes Yes, it's ready Turn off the heat now Let it soak for a while 15 or 20 minutes Now let's cut the sweet sandwich meat For the sandwich, the thickness is not that important How you cut it is key, cut two slices without breaking See? This one counts as one piece Usually the fatter the meat the better for this dish If you have a lean piece meat, make sure it's not delaminated You can't do it if it's delaminated Although it looks fat, but it's not grease to eat Yes Here you go, wrap the paste in the meat Compacting? How you did is not right See here Open like this Once opened, sweet paste is placed in the middle like this Look, just leave it like this Don't press it, don't squeeze the sugar If you press the sugar tightly, it won't steam up You know That's it Don't press as hard as you just did Just wrap it up Just wrap it up This is different from the one we have at my home Place them a bit more upright Then you can add two more pieces in So it looks better when poured out and is more round We use red bean paste at my hometown It doesn't matter what paste you use to cook this As long as it's sweet You can mix it yourself, or you can buy it from the market A fan asked us to make this video as a single shot Shoot the whole thing in one go Then this video will be hours to watch Two or three hours We both have no problem Jie may not be able to carry the camera Yes You can't carry such a big piece that long This is fine for Sweet Sandwich Meat Put it aside for now Now let's mix this up This beef Pour all the beef in Crack an egg A whole egg Then add a little of this soup This is the original soup for boiling the meat It doesn't matter if it's hot Pour it in Add in a bit of dark soy sauce Then some light soy sauce Mix A little more salt Good Then the rice powder Add all this powder in We bought this powder It's a jin (500g) of meat mix with 3 liang (150g) of rice powder This is about right Mix it up and mix it well Mix it well and it's ready Use some sweet potato as side This sweet potato is just cut up and without any treatment The meat goes underneath first Don't add it all in one pile Slightly loose it Loose it open Get it right If add a whole thing in That way the middle won't taste same Isn't it? The piece in the middle is full of rice powder Yes, also add to the side Up to the side So it comes out as a round dish It will look all meat, isn't it? Okay, it's good That's it Then the sweet potatoes goes in the middle Okay, that's it When it's steamed, it will be good It will look pretty after steaming Okay, the Rice Powder Steamed Beef is also ready Now we're left with the Ba Ba Meat Need to fry these ribs Do we have any more eggs?
