I saw this on onceuponawin.com and was thoroughly impressed myself. Worth watching in HQ. Martin has his way with what appears to be an English cuc using a beautiful cleaver.
This was the only other Martin Yan video I could find on the sift, but I've also posted part two.
Tags for this video have been changed from 'Yan, can, cook, cut, kitchen, knife, slice, paper, thin, garnish, salad' to 'Yan, can, cook, cut, kitchen, knife, slice, paper, thin, garnish, salad, soom in, soom' - edited by calvados
I remember there were several excellent cooking shows on when I was growing up, and Yan Can Cook was always one of my favorites. ("Ah, look at that." "Isn't that beautiful?") He, and several other cooks (including the ever-excellent Julia Child) taught you how to cook properly while being entertaining, but they never went overboard. Nowadays, cooking shows seem to be so focused on flash and action, which is rather sad because it detracts from what the show is really about.
>> ^mizila: Does his hand look a little scarred to anyone else? Experience is the best teacher I suppose.
I remember from reading Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential that almost all experienced chefs have gnarly hands. It's a badge of pride or something, like caulis on a wrestler's ear.
