I'm going through a slow binge of Lucas videos and I can't believe I get to watch these videos for free. It's not just about the quality communication and knowledge for me - as a diaspora Asian with HK immigrant parents I never felt super connected to my heritage, but seeing someone on screen explaining the techniques that my mum taught me to use and (also in other videos) explaining why she prepares food the way she does provides so much of that unspoken context I just don't know about and it's refreshing to feel this validation. Hope to see many more videos with Lucas in the future!

Even as a white guy, without the heritage aspect...Chinese cooking is so deep and so very different from western styles that it is absolutely wonderful to pick up the techniques and flavors! It really opens a whole new world of experiences. He just explains things so well it can make you feel nostalgia for a life you've never even lived.

Tried Lucas' technique this evening with kale. Kept it simple, no egg drop just single aromatic (ginger) and equal pinches salt/sugar/msg. Literally said "wow" when I tasted it. Incredibly tasty. The sugar and msg add dimensions beyond just using salt, and the ginger was surprising in how well it came through This literally has changed how I'll now braise greens.

I love the way you provide foundational knowledge and frameworks that are DIFFERENT from western cooking. This is an important point to begin with because otherwise the lens that westerners use to understand Chinese cooking is off. And, they don’t even realize they are using a framework that is western rather than accurate to Chinese cooking.

Don’t get me wrong, I love MSG and SP I just realised I don’t need to use that much. Thank you Lucas you have made me a better cook this last year my diet has changed completely… just brilliant. ❤

Lucas's a a master educator with a respectful and easy going style that is point on and worth watching and learning from. Educational and entertaining. The "lobster sauce" was a standard and popular sauce with stir fried shrimp in SF in the 60s and 70s (using a little black bean sauce added for that umami lobster flavor). His eye opening explanation on vegetable stir fry is illumination especially having lived in HK for 11 years and finding so many inconsistencies in vegetable preparation. Found out that watercress is a superfood and which I use in healing soups, but have not found a credible way to stir fry this. A possible future video?
