Chef Dennis Chan from Blue Bamboo joined us for some delicious game day recipes Chinese New Year Style

Blue Bamboo is the latest chapter in a family saga that began many years ago on the Northside of Jacksonville. There, Chef Dennis Chan’s family operated a restaurant on Main Street called Little Dragon.

Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend, and award-winning Chef Dennis Chan from Blue Bamboo is here to show us how to elevate your “Make Mom Breakfast” game with tips for making breakfast favorites. It’s a Mother’s Day tradition to incorporate the kids to help cook for Mom, and he’s going to show how to make restaurant worthy pancakes and french toast for her special day.

Chef Dennis Chan at Blue Bamboo on San Jose Blvd gave us a quick tutorial on wok cooking. The first thing he let us know is that you should be cooking on a high heat. One way to get that high heat is to actually put your wok on top of a turkey fryer. (Please follow all directions and safety cautions on your fryer!)

We were joined today by Chef Dennis Chan of Blue Bamboo who showed us some great tips and tricks for your Thanksgiving dinner. Set the turkey on the rack, breast side up, and season it inside and out with the salt mixture. Roast the turkey for 1 1/2 hours, basting with some of the reserved marinade every 30 minutes. The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°. Add the chicken stock to the juices along with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
