He is cooking "spicy wheat gluten" or as he names it at the end "功夫面筋 - Kung Fu Gluten"
In order, the Chinese captions read (in places a rough translation - the language gets a bit cryptic sometimes.)

This is a poem praising the dish. It is virtually untranslatable, but just really tells you he likes it!
It was interesting for me to see this for the first time. I see the wheat gluten sold dried or in jars all the time, but I've never seen it being made from scratch before.
