New Here?

Hi! I’m Harry Soo, a Grand Champion pitmaster from in Diamond Bar, near Los Angeles. Welcome to my vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.

On weekdays, I’m an IT nerd living a Dilbertesque existence in a fabric covered cubicle in downtown LA. I’m the head tour guide for a team of IT project managers who build datacenters, networks, servers, and infrastructure that helps bring tap water to 300 cities and 20 million residents in SoCal.

On weekends, I come alive as a pitmaster, competitor, and BBQ instructor. You’ve seen me on BBQ Pitmasters, Food Network, Chopped Grill Masters, Smoked, Cutthroat Kitchen, and local TV in California. My shtick is I’ve used a humble 18-inch Weber Smokey Mountain smoker to win 100+ first places and 1st place USA in the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) awards including best chicken, brisket, and sirloin; and I’ve won over 27 Grand Championships. I’ve personally taught 200+ classes and trained 3,000+ pitmasters in small hands-on dozen student classes in the US, Sydney, London, Kuala Lumpur, Canada, and Hawaii.

I get many questions weekly about how to grill and barbecue. Since I started cooking professionally in 2008, I’ve answered thousands via email so I decided to post my answers via video to reach a wider audience. I’ll do my best to post a video on my channel periodically. I upload vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes; as well as interviews and stories.

Lee is asexual name is a Lee Kum Kee in about1888 in the Guangdong Province in Chinahe was selling oysters and he wascooking oysters in a pot he lost trackof time and he actually ended upovercooking the oysters by that time henoticed that he had made a kind ofmistake the hoist is that cooked downinto a brown dark liquid and he tastedit and he found out wow this choice toextract sauce was absolutely amazing inflavor and that’s how he meant theoyster sauce and mr. Lee his name isTuan it going back to 1880s Oh his nameis Lee Kum Kee he was one who inventedthe sauce back in China next item herewe have here is something that not soeasily found but essentially it’s a riffof the Japanese miso so this is a kindof a Chinese version of a fermented soybean kind of like miso paste but thiscomes inoops this component here is combinedwith this component here which is a rateyeast which is rice that has been seephas been kind of put into a mold and themold is that week something called let’ssee here it’s called Monica’s papyrusand this mold is put onto the rice andit makes the rice kind of reddish andthis was the formal color that peopleuse in cooking foods like Peking duckand barbecue pork charge you going backover 2500 years more recentlyresearchers have found out that thisrigged rice does contain some powerfulmedicinal chemicals one of them iscalled lovastatin so if you are taking astatin drug called lowest setting ormaverick or you are basically gonna beeating some of the chemicals foundnaturally in this rate rice it gives awonderful color and this rate rice canbe ground up so I grabbed it up in alittle spice grinder and when this isadded to the missile it makes themissile the fermented tofu kind of rateso I got a little liquid in heretogether with some of the miso pastegiving you the great umami flavor nextitem is the soy sauce I have some whitepepper and I have this brown powderwhich is called a five-spice powderfive-spice powder is very common inAsian cuisine it’s comprised of someground cinnamon ground cloves Szechuanpeppercorn and star anis and a littlebit coriander so about five spicesground in here you can make your own butit’s too much trouble just go buy abottle bottles like two bucks so saveyou a lot of time and I had a

need to because it’s gonna makeone hell of a mess in the kitchen andwhatever you do do not drop it on thefloor and don’t ask me how I knowyes once you get on floor it’s obviouslypossible to get it off all right let memarry it and want to slip it twice I’mgonna make some steamed jasmine rice togo with the Chinese barbecue pork orchashu I just want to show you guys alittle tip in most Asian home.they weuse a rice cooker to cook rice and Ijust finished washing the rice andrinsed it a couple of times so I can geta starch out the Chinese style ofcooking rice is really do not have anystarchy type arises why jasmine rice ispopular in the Japanese tradition theylike kind of a short grain sticky kindof rice and in talents like a like arisotto kind of short grain rice thatthey preserve the starch to make therice stick together but in Chinesecuisine I just want to point out whatdoes you following me is you really needto clean the rice so that the individualgrains are all separated and we aregonna be using a long way in jasminerice there’s a big tip that I can showyou guys a little trick when you measurethe amount of water and the rice youtypically want to have about a two toone ratio so two parts of water twowipeouts rights the way you want to dothat is you take your finger and you dipthis finger in like that you put onefinger where the rice level is so youtouch the rice level you put a secondfinger where the water level is you liftit up and then you look at your hand ifyou have a equidistance right betweenthe two like so here versus here thenyou know that you have two parts ofwater to one part of rice so this is thetechnique which we use let me repeat itshow you what do you want more timebecause a lot of people don’t know thisbut in every age and household we allknow this but it’s not common commonknowledge so you take the kind of middlefinger here you stick in the rice so youwill put your finger to touch the bottomrice you put your thumb where the waterlevel is you lift it up and even abouthalf and half you have the right amountof water rights level here water levelhere so the water level is 2 to 1 that’show you get perfectly cooked steamedrice before you can rice cooker so justa little tip thought I pass it on to youguys because most Asian people know howto do that but in case you can neverlearn this is a rice cookersuper simple plug it in and just turn iton so and press the button and you’reready to go for most Asian householdsthis is the brand we buy is called asYoshi this my rice cooker must be atleast about 15-20 years oldthese last forever they cost a littlebit of money maybe about $20 or so butbuy a good one buy a big one and you’reready to go this will last you you knowa couple of decades and bestow you pressit down one button and it’s ready tocook all set to go we have one gonnahave wonderful jasmine rice in about10-15 minutes our we have our coalsready to go[Music][Music][Music][Music]the barrel is coming up to temp let’sput the minion[Music][Music]we’re gonna make the barbecue porkglazed cashew glaze which is acombination of a little bit of shoutingwine a little bit of maltose which iskinda girl candythe way you want to use this is you wantto want me to microwave so that it comesa bit software everybody kind ofrock-hard microwave in 20 secondincrements soft okay it’s got a liquidform like this put some of that liquidgold in a saucepan probably maybe aboutmaybe a half the quarter cup just enoughto make a glaze a bit honeySophia cooking wine cha-ching winenice sticky glaze the British color topay this on the chashu the nicebeautiful British Sheen characteristicof the barbecue pork that you seehanging in the Chinese deli togetherwith the Peking Duck also roast porkI’ll eventually get around to makingshow you guys how to make a crispy skinroast pork there is a companion to thebarbecue pork is running I lost you man[Music][Music]looking absolutely gorgeous and you cansee that the one with the dye has anicer red color about this one which isthe 2000 euro recipe inspired recipe[Music]so the one on the right is the onethat’s done with three ingredients theone on the left is the 12 ingredientcharge shoe or Chinese barbecue pork andI have to admit the three ingredient oneI think it looks prettier the red dyereally helps give it a nice color thisone’s pretty good too but I would givethe edge on the color to the 100 rightI’m not sure if my camera is giving youa good color but I think appearance wisethe one on the right looks better sothat’s just my opinion let’s move on tothe taste test to see which one tastesbetterso before we eat let me just recap whatwe did we did two recipes today oneusing a recipe who’s back 2,000 years onusing about 12 ingredients reallyauthentic Cantonese style on this one Idid the quick Walmart recipe with justthree ingredients which was the honey alittle bit of red food coloring andhoney since sauce this one had a lot ofingredients the final appearance that wedid was that I think this looks betterthe the rate dye or a food coloring doeshelp this one looks more natural solet’s just take a bite from each one andgive you guys in okay opinion on theTaste followed by the tenderness wetried this one first a good one it’s athree ingredient Walmart version of theChinese barbecue pork very good just alight hint of smoke saltiness is aboutright a nice sweet glaze on the topoverall really really good homemadebarbecue pork or charge you need thisone here now is one of the twelve theingredient recipe a nice moist one sothere was a little bit of a smoke ringthis one has a much more complex flavorand you can taste the layers and layersof these fragrant ingredients that havecome to meld together it is a little bitof the five-spice which has hints ofcoriander hints of Chinese hints ofcinnamon a bit of a garlicky sitegingerthe taste also has that kind of asweetness from the I guess the luminousof the fermented tofu there’s two kindsof amended tofu in here one was noise inthe other one was from the red what hecalled the rate yeast rice groundmissile of fermented tofu very very goodflavor much more complex than this oneyou viably describe the flavor thiswould be like a I guess like a tuxedothis would be kind of a jeans and a tanktop that’s kind of how the flavor isthis one is really much more tender morecomplex flavor very enjoyable

offindings this is like the tuxedo veryclass the evening gown version this ismore jeans and shorts and t-shirtversion both are very good if you wantto try this recipe at home it is just asimple recipe with just threeingredients and this is a complex onewith 12 ingredients so I know the $50question is Harry given the amount ofwork but you have to go through to dothe traditional recipe compared to thesimple one my recipe how would thisgreat so if I had the judges if this wasa scale of one to ten ten beingexcellent this would rank a ten this isactually not far behind you know I haveto say that this will reach about Idon’t know maybe 60 65 percent of thisso I would say this would be like aseven this is a ten so both are verygood eating if you don’t eat in side byside is really hard to tell
