Change that G from gram to gallon A little bit sugar, correct, but don't add too much Okay,
82
soy sauce good Most western restaurants add too much sugar to their Chinese food Not good Okay,
83
tofu in there, bubbling away Look good already He putting slurry mixture in three separate times?
84
That's why he unkaw Wang Kang You know, most home cooks, they just gonna put in cornstarch slurry one time, right at the end, and that cause bad texture.
85
Uncle Wang Gang do it three times, the reason quite complex.
86
Let's watch it first, Uncle Roger explain why later.
87
Oh, and by the way, cornstarch slurry, it's just cornstarch and water.
88
This one too simple, Uncle Wang Gang so at once level chef, he don't even bother explaining what it is.
89
Because this too basic for him, Uncle Wang Kang explaining how to make cornstarch slurry is like you explaining how to blink
90
First one is the thinnest slurry, correct?
91
Little bit thicker slurry this time The third time is the thickest slurry.
92
Good Fuiyoh
93
Okay, adding cornstarch three separate times Another classic Sichuan cooking technique
94
The first time cornstarch liquid go in there It to protect
95
the tofu Create this barrier Lock moisture in Keep the tofu tender keep it not soggy.
96
And second time cornstarch slurry go in, it to thicken the sauce.
97
That's the most common use of cornstarch slurry to thicken all Chinese sauces.
98
And the third time you put slurry in there is to do final thickening so there no more liquid pooling at bottom.
99
See, there's so much attention to detail.
100
Most home-cooked or most shitty Chinese restaurant, they're gonna just whack cornstarch liquid in there one time right at the end.
101
So what you get there is tofu that too too mushy and sauce that too thick.
102
Haiyaa.
103
Texture all wrong.
104
But food is not too much.
105
See with mapo tofu, he just swirling it around.
106
But with fried rice, Uncle Wang Gang punching rice with ladle like the fried rice owe him money.
107
This important cooking technique, you should be gentle to your mapo tofu.
108
Treat it like woman, no violence.
109
Compare this to how Jamie cook, he just poking and prodding and just mashing tofu into sauce.
110
Haiya.
111
Put a little bit more of that chili powder in there.
112
Good. And the garlic leaf.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
