This was excellent. More of Lucas, please!! He's not only knowledgeable but a natural teacher.

[@maranda5829]

Yes so easy to listen to and I learned so much beyond the recipes

[@tommyn72]

He's a genius... I kept thinking, while watching, "I am learning so much from this guy~! More More More~!"

[@jenmcdonald3800]

Agree!

[@JimWarp93]

totally my thought as well: I'd like him to teach me Chinese cooking !

[@79blueingreen]

100! Please more content from this chef.

[@Unee720]

Damn, I live this guy's passion for food while giving a history and culture lesson. Please let Lucas be a regular.

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

This goes beyond the "Hows" and deep into the "Whys" of cooking techniques. I love that Food52 tries to do more than just recipe videos.

[@hseliz]

It's such a joy listening & watching Lucas explaining and cooking - you can feel his passion!

[@food52]

Thanks so much for watching Elizabeth!

[@PrettyBoyKii]

I know Lucas is pretty busy, but I'd love for him to have his own KZbin channel. Especially in regards to educating us on the origins of Chinese cuisine and Chinese American foods.

[@Fever0788]

I'm a simple man. I see Lucas Sin, I give a thumbs up.

[@nativegurl8886]

When Lucas said "We can talk about this for ages", I can listen and watch him for ages. Sigh! 😍 Somebody give my boo a book deal, his own cooking show already. Love his technique, his voice, his knowledge and passion for cooking. This made my day. 😊

[@SK-kj1ge]

My favorite chef! Please have Lucas as often as possible. When Lucas explains, it feels like you're in a personal cooking class with him

[@dragon_empress_1]

I had no clue you could use Haw flakes like this. I grew up eating it as a snack. Bring Lucas back please, he's a good educator.

[@food52]

Thanks for watching DragonEmpress! Stay tuned!

[@foggybottomz]

Is this the snack that is packaged like a stack of coins? If so, I loved snacking on those too!

I grew up watch Martin Yan on PBS. I’ve been an unofficial student for years of the Food Network back when true chefs delivered the content and have given up on the Network as the opportunities for learning and growing as a home cook have, at times, fallen short of expectations. Lucas Sin-you are a true gift to this channel!! Your content anticipates all our questions and give us all the nuances a seasoned cook would look for while they cook-like size of the bubbles, color of the sauce, smells to anticipate. You not only provided the whys, but also the wheres, whens, hows, and what fors!! You have a real knack for educational demonstration-your tone is calm and reassuring, the music was not distracting, the editing was fun and playful as were you. I’ve rewatched your video three times to catch all the tips and tricks and I finally feel like I’m learning again. #thankfulforyouMr.Sin

[@alenkiu9886]

When I first look at the title of video, I was like "What is up with this guy? Talking about a simple sweet and sour sauce for half an hour? I'm not wasting my time on it." Then I got curious at what he has so much to say and watched it anyway. After finishing the video, Chef Lucas and the crew of Food52 deserve my highest gratitude for making this thorough compendium of sweet and sour sauce. Thank you for opening my eyes and great job! Keep it coming

[@pr12WingYin]

Man, give him his own show!! Not only is he really charming but also very knowledgeable. I love that he shares this knowledge because growing up in Germany as a Cantonese in every video of him I do find something new about „my culture“. Always a pleasure seeing his videos.

[@alexismuermann9603]

I can watch Lucas all day. Everything he says makes perfect sense, and he delivers his material in a very calming way with an understated humor. Please give us more!

[@randynguyen6937]

Love the modularity and use of ratios to simplify, please have Lucas join more often!

[@reidjohnson4281]

Congratulations...Finally ..A chef training with correct methods..Thank you. I hope the younger generations find you.

[@victoriamilonas1942]

I could make a book out of what I have learned from this darling man! Sweet and sour as a mother sauce, viscosity as a tool, matching the complexity of the dish to the sauce, cry if you have to, red things make a sauce red - the list goes on. What a talented chef. Plus the tiny samples (the priest when we are working our meat), I mean, really!

[@no0o0ot74]

I sincerely think this is one of the best, most jam-packed full of knowledge (technical, anthropological, theoretical) cooking videos I've seen published. Lucas offers an academic approach to his videos, he's really generous to share his fantastic teaching skills with us!

[@supercooled]

I really enjoyed this. This chef is very articulate and understands how to convey the concept and technique to just about anyone without sounding condescending.

[@viaMikeLawson]

He's Ivy League educated; just loves cooking and teaching apparently

[@joliewang596]

He is a poet chef! His choice of words, flow of thought, rhythm and hum of his cooking. I watched till the end of the video because you can’t get enough of Lucas! 👍🏻

[@hugotcm]

this was a true masterclass, Lucas is amazing, and a great host!!

[@somindaddy]

Just what I was thinking watching the video. The temp, volume or mass of ingredients is of course important but controlling many other variables make an everyday recipe into a masterpiece. Lucas shows us minute details of making something truly special. I loved watching the guobaorou recipe.

[@Debbie98335]

Oh my goodness. I grew up on yummy Chinese cooking when my dad would take our family out to San Pedro, Calif to the smaller establishments. To have you, Lucas, teach some of the secrets in this is priceless for me. Thank You.

[@poratl]

I plowed through You Tube up and down for months, and did not find as good, pleasant and generous teacher than Lucas. Wow.... how lucky I was to find you, give me more

[@macdonmt]

The brilliance of this teaching style is every moment when Lucas says, “what I’m looking for here…”

[@netherane]

Lucas is truly becoming my next chef obsession on YT. More of this wonderfully talented and handsome man, please!

[@trixiewutang]

Genuinely so delighted to watch Lucas explain Cantonese cooking.

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

Wow! Love, love, love the explanations and how to use the different methods. Thank goodness for a sweet and sour pork sauce WITHOUT KETCHUP!!!!!!! I would really like to see more of Lucas making some Chinese food.

[@katl8825]

I’ve been eating haw flakes for years and never thought of putting them in sauces. I learn something new every time from Lucas, if not multiple lessons!

[@perotinofhackensack2064]

If I went into a grocery store in the Northeast where the heck would I go to find those things? The potato chip aisle the snack aisle?

[@katl8825]

@@perotinofhackensack2064 In an Asian grocery store - I usually find them in an aisle with sweet imported snacks (gummies, hard candies, dried fruits) - I've heard they're sometimes in the dried herbs aisles?

[@annatooke6220]

Bring Lucas back please! Love his flavors and his explanation and teaching!

[@GoWarriors]

Lucas, you need your own show. I’ve been watching thousands of cooking videos, but I’ve learned the most from you on a per minute basis lol

[@NotWokebutAwake.]

I love how easy he is to follow as a teacher! He makes everything makes sense and explains things! Instead of just assuming we wont get it and skips the intricacies etc. He is amazing at showing you exactly what to do and explaining why. I love that! Thank you so so much! I learned a ton in such a short video! Things that i can actually apply in my own cooking in my own kitchen and impress my own family and friends when they come over for dinner! Excited now! Great video!!❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤

[@bgrainger3477]

I love how you explain the science behind what you do and why you do it a certain way.

[@TammyPappas]

This was one of the best videos from F52, hands down. Informative, fun, and relaxing to watch. Love Chef Lucas!

[@blinkmejosh]

Watching this felt like I was in his kitchen and learning from a great master. Junzi is such a proper teacher and whenever I see a video of him teaching, I immediately watch it and save it on my list. His chilled seasame noodle recipe is amazing too. I am going to try this sweet and sour pork recipe.

[@celitacantrill10]

Lucas Sin is a phenomenal teacher, he's explaining it so well and I'll remember this class. Wonderful!! Thank you.

[@agosh05]

Couldn't be more excited than to have Lucas Sin on this channel!

[@dimas44444]

I've learned soo much not only in technique but flavors, history and pretty much food! Lucas needs it's own Netflix show, a show without gimmicks just this and I'll watch it!

[@grayson9225]

this is an incredible description of northeastern cooking not just for the sweet and sour sauce. I have been researching northeastern Chinese cuisine for a while and the pursuit of creating simple dishes with extremely precise technique is what he absolutely nailed here!

[@bmat1011]

I hope you look into Cantonese (Southeastern China) dishes too because that’s the category sweet and sour sauce dishes fall into! Incredibly different from the sweet and sour concept of American-chinese food

[@khaledarisheh6697]

Finally someone to show us how to make sweet and sour sauce from scratch. I’ve been looking for a video like this for ages.

[@sussshhhhhhhh9991]

Lucas should write a book man. Super knowledgable and he's a such a good teacher!

[@darwinkius]

Lucas is not only a visionary chef, he is a great teacher. He did not assume viewers would know flavor profiles can differ at various temperatures. Rather, he explained it with zero condescension. I admire this chef on multiple levels!

[@cheersdeer]

There is a Chinese restaurant near me that has this style of sweet and sour pork on their menu and it is one of the best dishes I've ever had. Never thought I'd come across a video that goes into such great detail about how it's made, so this is wonderful!

[@flowercook3142]

What name is the restaurant, and where are you located? Thank you

[@michellehogaboam1879]

More Lucas Sun please! He oozes with knowledge and experience. Thank you Food52; I learn and become inspired by all the recipe developers and chefs on your channel.

[@mariapaularubianoa.6890]

[@stonemoss]

Lucas Sin is a national treasure

[@soyasaucer]

a chef, in Stockholm Sweden, told me that they used to make sweet and sour sauce by mixing rosehip soup (nyponsoppa) and ketchup. this was served to guests. I might add that this was around the 90s.

[@mnharris10]

Lucas Sin is great! Also love the subtle humor (especially about massaging your meat!) I’m a home cook, I don’t do a lot of Asian dishes but I love this series and want to give some of the dishes a try.

[@MinnoqWV]

This is an excellent video. Lucas is a great teacher. I've watched about 10 Sweet & Sour videos today and I learned about 10x as much watching this video than the rest of them combined. Thanks Lucas!

[@coljar100]

love Lucas' vids.. so knowledgeable , so articulate , so calming .... and great dishes.... thank you Lucas

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Swooning. Needs his own Netflix series. Also, love seeing him eat the dish after, wouldn't mind also seeing someone else try too (even if it's like a blooper bonus).

[@AdaptorLive]

Many cooking videos only explain the "how" but this video als explains the "why" which makes things so much easier to learn.

[@acdb_tv]

Keep bringing lucas back, he's great

[@spicerack4397]

Sweet & Sour Pork was always a favorite growing up. Many places unfortunately have the usual overly sweet thick sauce, so I learned to ask for the sauce on the side. Now this masterpiece looks like the real deal. Can't wait to try it. Been in home remodeling hell for 4 months and haven't done any home cooking in this time. Next week should be my FREEDOM is back and this will be in my top 5 meals to cook, especially since beef is so expensive, this pork will be perfect. Can hardly wait. - Ft. Worth, TX Missing my beef brisket, too expensive to buy now. :(

Grew up in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean where the Chinese have been part of the population for almost 200 years, so their foods are well integrated into local cuisine. There are Chinese restaurants and groceries are everywhere and Chinese snacks like haw flakes, salted and preserved prunes etc have long been considered as being local favorites.

Was not familiar with Lucas but now... he is def on my radar. The way he teaches, explains and is knowledgeable reminds me of Kenji

[@Lagiacrusguy1]

this is an absolutely excellent video, chef lucas yet again goes above and beyond. at 5:50 he mentions adding fish sauce of the heat due to the aroma component. I have in the past heard that fish sauce is often added off the heat because (at least in thai cooking) it is often used to adjust seasoning alongside sugar and lime juice. Lime juice of course goes bitter under sustained heat, and (while all seasonings affect other seasonings) acid particuluarly interacts with the flavour of saltiness one adjusts with fish sauce, so adding too much fish sauce well before the lime could end up with an unbalanced dish.

My mid-week sweet and sour sauce is just rice vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, and hot sauce. Now I will tweak it to use white vinegar and make it equal parts with the sugar. Interested in how that will change my go to sauce.
