The way he did that and his flow made me feel like I was watching a magician. Also that was a very sharp knife!
Oh man, I grew up on Yan Can Cook. I should try to cook something someday, see if that motherfucker knew what he was talking about.
I know him from a couple good YTPS I’ve seen done of his show, lol.
I worked at the Alameda County Fair in the 80’s and saw him driving in with his minivan and loading in for his demos. He looked a bit different when he’s not presenting and smiling (performer mode).
Martin Yan is an international treasure. He sometimes does culinary walking tours in Chinatown in SF. Been meaning to go on one.
He still has a popular restaurant in Burnaby, BC.
One of the last few still featuring the traditional HK dim sum carts rolling around the room, instead of the more economical tick-box menu cards.
I don’t cool but still watched this whole thing for some reason…
I feel like his rag at the hip is contaminated
I met him at the grand opening of his restaurant in Vegas (which is now closed) and he was a very sweet guy. The orange chicken was also the best I ever had in my life.
I wish I could just not care about rubbing raw chicken juice on all my clothes
I feel like this is if you merged Jackie Chan and Chris tucker and had them teach cooking.

So much Canadian nostalgia. 🍁⏳ Did anyone else’s parents have this turned on when you were going to/from school?
I love Martin Yan. I have one of his books signed by him.
“If Yan can cook, so can you!”
“No cross contamination”
And then he goes on to immediately wipes his hands with the towel at his side he previously wiped the knife with.
Admittedly, it’s a show and he needs to be effective. It’s always satisfying to watch pros do their craft.
My mom used to watch that show all the time.
Jaques could give him a run for his money. Similar technique: https://youtu.be/nfY0lrdXar8

Martin Yan actually came into the restaurant i work at 2 days ago with a camera crew and sat down with our owner for a bit, afterwards he got a table with some friends/family and my friend was their server! Some of my other tables recognized him and were getting really excited about it
Am in the only person who’s never heard of “Yan can cook” but grew up on “Wok with Yan”? Loved that show and his goofy shirts
Well, he ain’t no Merill Howard Kalin, but ok…

Very nice, but I challenge him on his so-called “being safe from cross contamination”
I chuckled a bit when he talked about food safety and needing to wash your hands. He just ran water over his hands for a couple of seconds without any soap and then flicked the water onto that tray of prepped veggies that was right next to the sink.
There’s another one where he teaches how to slice tomatoes to get the most out of the tomato and it is very informative and cool. (Though he likely is using the same unwashed knife.)
25 minute video for a 24 second butchery?
Wow, this Yan guy really can cook!
He was awesome. You didn’t need a Red Bull, you just had to watch him
