01:57Okay.
01:58Aside from French food.
02:00Ah, okay.
02:01Right?
02:02Okay.

02:11Okay?
02:12Let's go!
02:21Alright!
02:24Okay.
02:25Isabelle.
02:26What are we going to cook, chef?
02:27Tonight,
02:28we're going to make a quick and easy dish.
02:29Quick and easy,
02:30but it's going to be delicious.
02:31Just like our first dish,
02:32chop chop sarap,
02:33chop soy.
02:34Wow!
02:35Let's start, Isabelle.
02:36Okay.
02:37Okay.
02:38It's like a game show.
02:39It's like a game show, right?
02:40Ready.
02:41Let's start by blanching the vegetables.
02:42Okay.
02:43Okay.
02:44Okay.
02:45Okay.
02:46Okay.
02:47Okay.
02:48Okay.
02:49Okay.
02:50Okay.
02:51Okay.
02:52Okay.
02:54Okay.
02:55Okay.
02:56What does blanch mean, chef?
02:57Blanch,
02:58we're going to boil water
02:59that has baking soda,
03:00when it's green.
03:01Okay.
03:02Okay.
03:03It's boiling, right?
03:04Now,
03:05let's start with the white vegetables.
03:07Okay.
03:08Okay.
03:10When you're chopping vegetables,
03:11this is Chinese cabbage.
03:14Cabbage.
03:15You're familiar with this, right?
03:16Yes.
03:17And I think this is the main ingredient
03:18in chop soy.
03:19Yes.
03:20Without this,
03:21it's not chop soy,
03:22it's chop see.
03:23So, we're going to cut it like this.
03:26Okay.
03:27So, we're going to put it here.
03:29The one that's going to be hard first.
03:31So, when it's going to be hard,
03:33we're going to put it,
03:34we're not throwing it away.
03:35Yes, we're not throwing it away.
03:36The one on top,
03:37we're throwing it away.
03:38We're throwing it away.
03:39Then, this one on the side,
03:40we're going to do this.
03:41Can you do it?
03:42You can help me.
03:43Okay.
03:44Cut like this.
03:45So,
03:46just chop it like this.
03:47Just chop it like this.
03:48Then, we're removing it.
03:49There.
03:51It's better if my partner is a chef.
03:55There it is.
03:56There it is.
03:59So, we're just going to blanch it.
04:01So, this is the ice cold water.
04:02We want it to be crunchy.
04:03Then,
04:05cabbage.
04:06Okay.
04:09Whoa.
04:14Okay.
04:16So,
04:17you're throwing it away?
04:18Yes, I'm throwing away the seeds.
04:19So,
04:20you're throwing away the seeds.
04:21Then,
04:22this one,
04:23because it's small,
04:24you're removing it.
04:25Because
04:26some people
04:27cut it straight like this.
04:28So,
04:29when you're portioning,
04:30it's not equal
04:31if it's small,
04:32super small,
04:33or big.
04:34So,
04:35just like this.
04:38There.
04:39We're going to put it there.
04:40Okay.
04:42Then,
04:43you're putting it.
04:44Yes.
04:45So,
04:46let's just blanch it.
04:47Because
04:49even in America,
04:50it's called chop soy
04:51like what you mentioned earlier.
04:52Yes.
04:53This is going to be blanched
04:54in advance.
04:56So,
04:57this is just quick,
04:58the green.
04:59It's quick.
05:00Then,
05:01when you cook this,
05:02you know,
05:03even if it's been a long time
05:04before you eat it,
05:05let's say,
05:063 hours,
05:075 hours,
05:08the color is still the same.
05:09Oh, really?
05:10It's still crunchy?
05:11Yes.
05:12And,
05:13the sauce is white.
05:14It's not like
05:15when they didn't blanch it.
05:16Of course,
05:17it's still dirty.
05:19So,
05:20this is the cabbage
05:21that we're baking soda.
05:22Okay?
05:23This is the baking soda.
05:24Okay.
05:25How much is it?
05:26One teaspoon?
05:27One teaspoon
05:28for one liter of water.
05:29Okay.
05:30Let's put it there.
05:31So,
05:32you'll notice
05:33that it's green.
05:34So,
05:35just blanch it,
05:36okay?
05:37Okay.
05:38So,
05:39it's really green.
05:40Especially,
05:41when you soak it
05:42in cold water.
05:43Okay.
05:44So,
05:45let's just blanch it.
05:46Okay.
05:47So,
05:48let's just blanch it.
05:49Okay.
05:50And,
05:51the next step is
05:52to put the broccoli.
05:53Here?
05:54Here.
05:55Okay.
05:56Okay.
05:57There.
05:58My role is very important here.
05:59Okay.
06:00I'm the one who puts the...
06:01Really.
06:02Really.
06:03That's why
06:04I'm tensed.
06:05It's like
06:06the beauty and the beast.
06:07I'm the beauty.
06:08So,
06:09that's the twist.
06:10So,
06:11that's the twist.
06:12Then,
06:13let's put
06:14the broccoli.
06:15Okay.
06:16So,
06:17let's put this.
06:18Okay,
06:19I'm next.
06:20You're next.
06:21Okay.
06:22It's not just your job.
06:23Okay.
06:24Yes,
06:25it's my job.
06:26Yes.
06:27So,
06:28this is the corn
06:29that I was asking earlier.
06:30Yes,
06:31the corn.
06:32Not the...
06:33Let's cut it
06:34into two.
06:35Okay.
06:36Cut into half,
06:37like this.
06:38I can do that.
06:39Like this.
06:40Take it off.
06:41Oh,

06:43It's okay.
06:44It's okay.
06:45So,

06:47Blanching the corn.
06:48Yes.
06:49And then,
06:50let's put this here.
06:51Then,
06:52with the shiitake,
06:53let's put it there.
06:54Shiitake mushroom.
06:55Yes.
06:56It's also my favorite.
06:57Really?
06:58Yes.
06:59So,
07:00I put all of your favorites?
07:01Yes.
07:02There.

07:30Yup.
07:31Then,
07:32you're going to mix
07:33the cornstarch
07:34with...
07:35Water or

07:47Okay.
07:48Like this,
07:49okay?
07:50Can you do it?
07:51If your hand
07:52gets hot
07:53and it's red,
07:54it means
07:55you're already
07:56cut.
07:59Good job.
08:00You know,

08:18Now,
08:19we're going to put
08:20cooking oil
08:21to fry,
08:22to sauté the
08:23chicken.
08:24Chicken.
08:25Of course,
08:26garlic
08:27and ginger.
08:31Okay.
08:32Now,
08:33we're going to
08:34add
08:36what's first?
08:37Okay.
08:38Both?
08:39Garlic first.
08:40Not all,
08:41just half.
08:42Garlic is expensive,
08:43sorry.
08:44So,
08:45let's save it.
08:50Then,
08:51ginger.
08:52Half as well.
08:53Half as well.
08:54Okay.
08:57Then,
08:58we're going to add
08:59brandy to
09:00marinate the chicken.
09:01Really?
09:02Yeah.
09:03We have to pour the brandy.
09:04Like that.
09:08You want to try?
09:09No.
09:10No.
09:12Okay.
09:15No eyebrows.
09:18I love it.
09:23Do you know
09:24why we added brandy?
09:26To remove the smell
09:28of
09:29chicken
09:30and vegetables.
09:31It smells good.
09:32Can you smell it?
09:33Yeah.
09:34Yeah.
09:35Oh.
09:36Not me,
09:37Isabelle.
09:41Okay.
09:42Okay.
09:43Once the garlic and ginger is brown,
09:44we'll add the chicken.
09:49It's hard to do it like that.
09:50You want to try?
09:51Can you do it?
09:52I can't.
09:53Hold it.
09:55You can do it.
09:58What if it falls?
09:59It's okay.
10:00It's a part of the show.
10:03Oh.
10:04Yes!
10:05Very good.
10:06Very good.
10:08That's my talent.
10:09This is really
10:11a breed of
10:12cooks.
10:17We'll add the chicken stock
10:19and then
10:20chicken powder.
10:23We'll mix it.
10:25It's ready.
10:26We'll add the vegetables.
10:28So that you won't have a hard time
10:29and your muscle will grow.
10:30Oh.
10:31I can't do that.
10:36This is your workout regimen, right?
10:38Yes.
10:39So you don't have to work out anymore.
10:40That's why I didn't grow up.
10:42Slim.
10:43Slim.
10:44Yes.
10:45Love your figure.
10:46Okay.
10:47We'll add all of our
10:50Okay.
10:51Cornstarch.
10:52Yes.
10:53Go.
10:543, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
10:587, 8, 9, 10.
11:01That's enough.
11:05We'll make this like a basket
11:07so that it'll be easier to handle.
11:09How can we determine
11:10if it's hot?
11:17It's still cold.
11:19It won't boil.
11:21If the chopstick boils,
11:23the chopstick will boil.
11:25What if it boils?
11:26If it boils,
11:27it means that it's hot.
11:29Okay?
11:30What if there's no chopstick?
11:32Hand.
11:33No.
11:34It's a joke.
11:35You can use water.
11:36Just like that.
11:37Just pour some water.
11:38Just a little.
11:39Not a lot.
11:40Just pour a cup.
11:41There you go.
11:46Did you hear that?
11:47Yes.
11:48It's weak, right?
11:49Yes.
11:50If it's hot,
11:51when you turn it,
11:52it's like,
11:53oh,
11:54it's shaking.
11:55Right?
11:56Is it obvious?
11:57Yes.
11:58It's obvious.
11:59This is one of the ways
12:00we'll make
12:01a chopstick.
12:02Okay.
12:05We'll put this
12:06in the hot oil.
12:07Then we'll spread it.
12:09The moment it's hot,
12:10we'll drop it.
12:11Wow.
12:16There.
12:18So it'll form.
12:19It'll form.
12:21Into
12:22a basket.
12:24Ah.
12:25Push.
12:27There.
12:32Now,
12:33because it's hot,
12:34don't use your hands.
12:35You'll get burned.
12:36So chopstick.
12:41Get out of there.
12:44Okay.
12:47There.
12:48It's magic.
12:49Try it.
12:50It's hot.
12:51So where will you put it?
12:52There.
12:53There.
12:55Okay.
12:56Smash it a bit.
12:57Chopstick.
12:58I'm so happy.
13:01There.
13:02Let's add this.
13:03You can add
13:04seafood,
13:05ground.
13:06My basket is beautiful.
13:07Of course.
13:08Yes.
