Cooking spareribs with yam [known as taro in the US]

This video has just been released on how to cook spareribs with yam.  It is a series of cooking programme which shows us how to cook simple dishes. They always start the video with "u6 ziah8 u6 bou2 bho5 ziah8 kang1 sim1 dou2"

I am not sure about one line zih4 kioh4 zao3 ke3  and the Mandarin subtitles can be translated as to put in the middle of the pot. 

I hope you can learn some Teochew from listening to this video and I hope my notes below will help you understand what the little lad is saying. 

有食有補無食空心肚 u6 ziah8 u6 bou2 bho5 ziah8 kang1 sim1 dou2

There is nutrition when one has eaten; if one has not eaten, one’s stomach is empty.

I have decided to type out the Mandarin subtitles and you will notice that it is different from what the little lad said in Teochew.

芋頭蒸排骨簡單又好吃 yam steamed with spareribs easy and delicious

芋頭 yam 蠔油 oyster sauce 柱侯醬 fermented bean paste 糖 sugar 醬油 soya sauce 生粉 sweet potato flour 蒜蓉 minced garlic 辣椒 chillies

抓拌均勻醃製 catch mix evenly and marinate

倒在芋頭上 pour on top of the yam

放入鍋中 put in the middle of a cooking pot

蒸十八分鐘 steam for 18 minutes

湯汁倒出勾薄芡淋上 pour off the juices, thicken the juices and pour on the top

你覺得是排骨好吃還是芋頭好吃 do you feel that the spareribs taste better or the yam?

做法簡單又好吃 easy cooking method and delicious
