Understanding Flavor

Our Cantonese family just welcomed our first and what will probably be our only grandchild so we are super excited to be able to make some red eggs and ginger! That said, after much trial and red dye all over the counter today, we learned a few things that others might find helpful — the McCormick’s red dye worked the best. We initially bought Kroger’s and Paas (Easter this week so egg dye was prevalent) which resulted in a pale pink wash of color, not what we wanted so we had to go back to the store for a different dye. Also, we followed your instructions first but the color took a lot longer to take and was not saturated. We then followed McCormicks instructions to use 1 cup BOILING water + 1 tsp vinegar and that resulted in a deep even red orange. Good luck and congratulations to those who are making this!

Keep doing what you're doing! Awesome channel really covering Chinese / Cantonese culture and food. The look of channel and video production is great too. Amazing work in the production of each video, can tell a lot of work goes into each video from research and translation and content. Also, such a beautiful family and really cute baby! Best wishes in the New Year!

Happy 100 days! What a fabulous celebration and of course great food!! So well done, this video was very touching and heartfelt!
