Our cooking videos have finally made it to the computer screen!! (applause) After months of “coming soon”, many of you have questioned if it was ever going to be a reality! After all this tease and much laziness on our part, here is our first installment in our cooking video series.
Warning, View with Caution!!! The editing process took place early this morning at 2 am, after a long days work, a glass of Zinfandel and how appropriate, three Midnight Ride Cocktails.
Print This RecipeTaiwanese Cabbage Sauté Recipe
Taiwanese cabbage is a flat and sweet discovery, if you’re lucky to find it at an Asian Market. Growing your own Taiwanese cabbage is also a possibility by buying seeds at www.EvergreenSeeds.com. For vegetarians, just omit the bacon. This can be eaten as a low carb, main course or as a side dish.
Ingredients:
About 3 slices bacon (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame seed oil
2 -3 cups chopped cabbage
3 cloves crushed garlic
2-3 shallots, minced or 1/2 chopped onion
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
Ground black pepper to taste
1 egg
fresh herbs: mint, cilantro, parsley or basil
1. Heat pan, add cut bacon. When bacon is cooked to your preference, remove from oil and set aside. If you are not using bacon, add sesame seed oil to hot pan.
2.Add shallots/onions and garlic. Cook till crispy and fragrant. Add chopped cabbage, toss to coat with oil/shallots/garlic. Add black pepper & soy sauce. Cook for about 30 seconds till cabbage begins to soften.
3. Add egg and mix with cabbage. Cook for about another minute , or until cabbage is cooked.
4. Toss with fresh herbs of choice.

Bravo Rice Duo…you two are lots of fun. Next time don’t be shy…show your muggs!
You guys rock. Keep them videos coming.
Fabulous, it’s nice to get to hear your voices and the cabbage dish sounds …wonderful…
Awesome video guys! I would like to see more character during the cooking though, you guys are having such a laugh at the beginning, it would be good to see that all the way through.
Great dish too.
Nice job for your first vid! It took a while to load for me, but once it did it was fantastic. I’ve been itching to try video myself but just haven’t gotten around to it. Can’t wait for more videos.
Nice knife skills btw!
Hey, this is looking promising! I did manage to get your five facts tag done
Love it! the cabbage ‘narration’ at the beginning was fantastic and made me laugh… I have the same pan too (and it’s little sister pan) — it gets used more than any other pan in my kitchen. I look forward to more of your videos!
That’s was totally wicked! (gotta have that little kid from the Incredibles voice in your head when you read that!) I was feeling all good about myself today, blogged, wrote down my recipe for guacamole, spring cleaned my entire house and then you guys go and do that! Please adopt me, I want to live with you! It sounded like you had so much fun. Are you going to do this for pie day because that would be flipping awesome! I’m going away now with my geeky overly excited self!
Hehe, that was awesome :3
The song that’s playing during the video… also happens to be from this movie called ‘Bella Martha’ a German Movie (also redone in english called ‘No Reservations’) the movie was about cooking also, and I was wondering if it was pure coincidence you two picked the song (:
Peter- Our dog Sierra’s mug looks pretty much like ours, so her’s should be plenty sufficient! We’re shy.
Suganya- Did you say “rock”? Oh no, we just might have to do our chicken dance for you on our next video!
Pixie- Remember, these are tired, intoxicated voices in the wee hours of the morning. We’ll be on better and more sober behavior on the next one.
Marvin- It took us a while to work out all the details of editing, but it’s worth the fun!
Matt- You’re so right! You can see how we just kinda burnt out on the dubbing in the end. We finished after 3 am and just too tired to talk any more!
Nikki- Thanks!
Jen- it’s a great pan and we’ve had it for years!
Evil Mommy- If we submit a video for you 3.14 pie event, we will not take any responsibility for what may happen afterwards.
Raine- No, it was not coincidence. We’ve been fans of Paolo’s music for a long time and we love the original German movie. Have not seen “No Reservations” yet and don’t really plan to because the original was so great!
That is the best cooking video I’ve ever seen, I think – more cooking videos should consider laughter and subtitles. Diane, you have the most sooooooothing voice; you may want to consider a future in voice artistry as a side job.
Great job, the egg took me by surprise. Suggestions for future videos? Let us see your faces! Loved it!
is it our fault if we like you so much?? and that we cant get enough of you hence the tags?? (ok i said we, for protection…what i meant was i!!) now i think i will be flogged!! hey but thanks for the mention…and no sweat….do the tag only if you’re up to it….cheers!!
Wow the video looked so professional! I can’t wait to see more. I never thought cabbage was that exciting (unless preserved like kim chi!) but now I want to try making that dish too. Maybe I’ll add some baked tofu for protein instead of bacon so the bf can eat it too.
It’s wonderful that you two have such fun together in the kitchen
Quite entertaining, I’ll look forward to more videos!
Hooray for your first videos, but where are your heads?! It’s nice that stir-fries are so quick that you can show the whole process, start to finish. Looking forward to the next video….
That is friggin’ awesome! I love it and your pup is sooooo cute. Looks like great fun in the kitchen
Flying garlic with sound effect! Ha ha… So much fun! I watched it twice. Love the vid and nice to hear your voices. Looking forward to more. Great job, guys!
Wow. Very nicely done, the production and everything! I agree with the rest of the bunch… show your face!
Fun to watch. I can’t wait for more!
AnneMarie- I think what you really heard was a sleeeeepy voice at 3am. But thanks anyway! I would love to have some extra income, wonder how I could start?
Simply- The egg really adds a nice touch to blend all the flavors together. This cabbage dish was a staple for me while I was a starving college student. You can’t eat any cheaper than with a head of cabbage and a dozen eggs! You wanna see more skin? That’s kinda scarry!!!
arundati- we’ll definitely continue your tag, just need some more time!
Louise- Thanks and kimchi rocks! There’s always a TUB of it in our fridge.Tofu would be awesome!! Let us know how it goes!
LisaRene- We have to have fun because if we didn’t who would get to be in front of the stove? Fight!
Lydia- Oh our heads are there, just outside the frame. We missed them! Dammit! Maybe next time we’ll get our framing right!
Jen- Extra thanks for noticing Sierra. She says “woof! woof!” to you!
Ginger- We tried to make the most of it because we only wanted to shoot it once. So we just make fun of our own mistakes!
ZenChef- Like we said earlier “You wanna see more skin? That’s kinda scarry!!!” . Plus we need to dub the instructions in and we can’t do that if you see our faces! If you really saw us, you just might not come back! We love your company!
Oh man! The video’s no longer available!!
Huh– it’s back on again. What was that?!
Anyway, I loved it! So professional (albeit headless, hmmm). Cutest studio audience ever!!
That was really fun to watch, loved it!
Terrific! Looks delectable and your explanations are clear, easy to follow and funny!
Love the “Mostly Martha” soundtrack, too.
Great video guys! I think the editing process is enhanced when you are really tired and have a couple of glasses of alcohol in you – it helps you to see things differently.
I loved it!!! It was so witty and made me smile .. a LOT!! and you showed off the recipe with such ease .. BRAVO!! awesome chopping, dubbing and sense of humor …. can’t wait for more. Am looking forward to your spring garden tour! How abt a video on how you guys take those awesome photos??
this video is awesome guys!! cant wait to see more
btw i love this cabbage recipe yummmmy!!
love the video ! The opening was great with your dog looking on…so cute! The final plating is one delicious looking dish!
enjoyed the video lots and using paolo conte is just genius – he’s one of my favourite musicians at all time, introduced by my ex – the ex is gone but paolo stays…
you guys should definitely do more videos, and show us your faces!
Great video! I love how you use chopsticks to cook – the egg was a surprise! I’m going to try this recipe on the mister – I’m sure he’ll like it. Nicely done – now when does the next one debut? Nan
Loved the video and the music you played. Love your dog too and next time show your beautiful face. You also have a great voice
Manggy- We might be headless, but our dog is not! She’s sending you extra licks for recognizing her.
made healthier- Thanks! We had fun making it and as well as making fun of ourselves.
Kitt- It was late and we were a little intoxicated, but tried our best to enunciate and be clear. Glad you understood it! Love the Mostly Martha music too!
Snehal – A video on food photography is a great idea!
Cakelaw-We definitely saw things differently and kept laughing at the stupid flying garlic! Silly!
dhanggit- Merci Beaucoup!!
Vernon- Our dog is licking you too for the compliment! The other one didn’t want to participate.
Lil- Hey, good to know that when the guys are gone, Paolo is still around to keep us company. I’ll go tell Todd that!
Nan- The egg really makes the difference to tie all the flavors together. The next one should be up within a week!
Happy Cook- But our dog is so much prettier than us! She’s not shy to show her face, but we are.
Hi! I just saw your video, and tho’ I was apprehensive about being able to watch it comfortably because broadband speed here is often not what it promised, I managed to see it pretty well – the sound was continuous, tho’ the video kept halting now and then. In any case, it’s an interesting dish, and I like the ease with which you handled the chopsticks – please do a video on that next time
Thanks for visiting my blog. My my my, the vidoe is great, make some more pls. I love the way you use chopsticks
And Oscar for the best foodblog video goes to…WhiteonRice Couple! *Loud Applause*
Seriously, great job, guys!! I’m in awe!
The recipe is marvellous and definitely to my taste as I’m a real cabbage freak!!
)
I saw Bella Martha also for class, it was a lovely movie, and I don’t plan to see No Reservations either!
Most excellent, makes me wonder why I can’t stir fry. You make it look so easy and beautiful presentation.
Great Video! Can not wait to see more!
I think Evil Chef Mom should make this, I have been begging her to make something a little more exotic. (I really want Indian food but this look really good)
http://www.ibkid.blogspot.com
i have to say, that is by far and away the best cooking video i’ve seen on a blog. most of them that i’ve seen seem cheesy and very amateur – that’s not at all the case here. rock on!
Sra- Good idea on the chopstick lesson. Will keep that in mind!
Shankari- We’ll definitely continue to add videos to our posts.
Anya- Oscar? Wow! Ok, we’d like to start by thanking….um…..mom and dad….and all bloggers!
MyKitchen- Thanks! Hopefully this video will help show you how quick and easy stir-frying can be, once you get your basics down.
Denise- There’s another one on the way…don’t know exactly when, but it’s coming!
Sous Chef #1- Evil Chef Mom needs to get off her rocker and start going ethnic !! Yeah, she rocks in the kitchen, in the house and for her kids, but lets see her pull out the chopsticks! She just might be a bad ass with those sticks!
Amanda- Thanks for the reassurance because we were feeling mighty cheesy when making it, but that’s us at times too!
My favourite parts:
-The “live audience”
-The song
-How deftly you chop up the mint leaves
-How calming your voice sounds
-How effin’ good you made such a simple dish look!!
You guys rock! From the moment I saw your “studio audience,” I couldn’t stop smiling. Looks like you have a lot of fun cooking and laughing together. Isn’t that always the best?
I want the garden tour! And anything else you wanna throw our way.
That was great! Love it! And Luuuuuurve your dog.
Great video! You two are so funny!
I’m looking forward to seeing more of these in the future. And Sierra is definitely one of the cutest dogs on earth!
Greetings,
Tiina
Good job! Get a little closer the dish next time so we can see the deliciousness you’re creating a bit easier. I’m impressed and inspired! GOOD JOB YOU GUYS! amy and jonny @ http://www.weareneverfull.com
How fun! I’m totally impressed. Oh, and I want a partner in the kitchen who will stand next to me and chop half the shtuff.
I know that was a lot of work, because dh and I have talked about doing these and then we start talking about it seriously and we’re all like . . . yeah, maybe another day! LOL! Great job and I wanna see the garden!
Sniff…. rural landlines miss out on all the fun. I don’t suppose you have just a written recipe somewhere (she pleads as her eyes well with tears). Sniff.
Teehee….
My eyes was blink! blink! blink! in for a shock!
It was a very cool! cool! video! white on rice couple rocks!
Funny, creative and exciting to watch! well done!
Jesse- Thanks! Especially for the comment in bullets! Really easy to read.
WC- The garden tour will be ready when the peak of spring hits our garden. Hopefully this video will be ready by beginning of April!
Wendy & Tiina- Sierra really loves the both of you now…lots of wet licks to you both!
Amy & Jonny- Yeah, good point. We saw that , but didn’t want to re-shoot it. Our goal is to just shoot it one time and take it as it is. Then dub it to make fun of our mistakes. The next one will pay closer attention to the camera angles.
Angie- Ooohhh, your cooking experience and delicious food would be great on video. Can’t wait!
Dani- It’s Ok…(wiping away your tears for you here). We can burn it to a DVD and send it to you.
Big Boys- Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
I just came across your blog for the first time – wow, this is great! Your cooking looks awesome, and I love hearing about all your other pursuits, too. You sound like just my sort of people. I’ll keep on reading from now on!
Applause all around. You guys had me cracking up. Cooking never looked like so much fun! BTW, chop sticks are the best cooking utensil. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos.

Hi There,
Came to your blog from Pixie’s: You say tomato, I say tomato. I cannot believe what I have been missing all this time! Like Suganya said, you guys totally rock. I have been browsing through some of your previous posts and spending an enjoyable time reading. The post titled: Red Rice (Jan 27) was riveting and visual, great writing.
I am so glad that I have discovered your blog and will definitely add it to my blog roll and feeds and I look forward to visiting and many more of your videos!
Wow…you’ve got amazing recipes with the videos and all.Great job!!! Looking forward to many more

BUT! Thanks for the reminder – I tagged you with the You Make My Day award, because you do! Every time I read one of your posts I get a warm fuzzy feeling in side. So now you get to tag 5 others who make your day!
http://jenyu.net/blog/2008/02/29/wheres-the-love/
Awesome! I love the irreverence of it all. This looks professionally produced! Bravo!
The dish looks great (coming from someone who tends to be very wary of cabbage) and so does the video! Great work
Hmm, sautéing Taiwanese cabbage with Italian lyrics in the background and a furry live studio audience, it’s … wonderful! Diane, you really do have a beautiful soothing voice. Thanks for sharing your laughters and your enthusiasm for great food!
oohh! I’m such a voyeur I can’t wait to see your pantry. I love that stuff. The video turned out great- good job!

Love your first video! Diane, you have such a wonderful speaking voice… it’s absolutely perfect for this. Why, you ought to be doing cooking videos. Oh, wait, you are! …lol (just being silly now)
But the video WAS fun and including the dog (i.e. live audience) was a stroke of genius.
Keep up the good work!
these videos are so cool !!! and i could do with some taiwanese cabbage. don’t like regular cabbage.
bravo! you guys should host a cooking show on food TV!! Although I’ve never people saute cabbage with mint in it…i’ll definitely give it a try!
Sounds tasty!
