Chef Wang, thank you for explaining to the amateurs cooks like me. You do not just explain to your younger generations, you show them the way. You are a good leader who do not just lead, but show them and do it yourself. 👏
Does blanching remove any nutrients from the vegetables? or do the nutrients remain

no blanching vegetables is extremely superficial, the cooking will damage more macronutrients than blanching. if you care about nutrition, eating it raw in a salad is the most nutritious, but eating it cooked is easier to digest.

No it shouldn't if you're only briefly blanching like Chef Wang Gang did. In fact, it should help retain more nutrients in stir fry because the overall cooking time is shorter.

while blanching would allow water soluble vitamins and minerals to sip into the water, it still makes more nutrition available to us, as it can help to break down cell walls of plants, making nutrients more accecible. of course, the heat will also contribute to oxidation of nutrients, destroying them. so the nutrient content will initially increase with cooking time, and then start to decrease. therefore, it'll be best to cook food in short exposure to high temperature. this makes steaming and blanching great options. This is what I remembered from some resesrch papers few years ago. I'd suggest you to check and decice for yourself.
