These are all superb and I will try these as egg salad with plenty (ft) of mayonnaise is a staple here! Another way to mince garlic is to use a microplane grater, for ginger too... Tho be prepared to buy a new one every 6-12 months!

Q: are there other ways to write oyster sauce than 耗油? Google translates this as 'fuel consumption.' I don't speak Mandarin much less write it but was looking for the transliteration when I found this.

Delicious recipes, especially looking forward to making the Dai pounded eggs as I am currently in Northern Thailand. The Liangban Eggs look like they would be wonderful as an appetizer too.

Thanks for all the yummy food!

Ah crap, my bad for the typos. 蚝油 is the correct character, it was early when finishing the post :)

Try searching for 蠔油 (traditional characters) or 蚝油 (simplified characters) ☺️.

Immediately got up and made a half recipe of the Northern one as soon as I was done with the video...damn, that's good! In spite of (or maybe thanks to?) the absolutely heroic amount of garlic. I feel like that's one I'm going to be doing a lot, especially since all the ingredients keep well and they're stuff you'd have around your kitchen anyway.
