    Hey chef! Just discovered your channel but I wanna say your content has already changed my life. For some reason, my brain and prepping don’t work. Meal prep was impossible for me, until i found your videos. Knowing what I’m eating, and eating healthy food has been instrumental in the improvement of my physical and mental health. I dunno, if you ever think your content isn’t important, just know that this stuff gives people the tools to change their lives. Thank you ❤

Since my first visit i have undergone numerous, splendacious, gustatory journeys of culinary excellence. After devouring a delectable distribution of delicious dishes I have since fallen into a delirium of the senses that escapes articulation.

Arrowroot I could not find and I didn't use any alcohol but still it was excellent. thanks a lot!

    Fantastic recipe. Though it came out rather different for me. Especially the macros which is suprising to me given that the substitution I made should be lower in calories overall.
    Substitution I made:
    Shaoxing Wine -> Rice Vinegar
    Chicken Thigh -> Chicken breast
    Chinese Cabbage -> A lot more of it because no Bok Choy, Spring Onions
    Carrots -> 150g
    With the noodles I used (371Kcal/100g) this came out to 513 calories per serving with 6 huge servings total.
    Next time I will add a lot more veggies. Probably double the carrots and more Chinese cabbage. Also might add some more sauce since my noodles seem to get a lot bigger than the ones in the video.

      Yes, you do. The body doesn't need carbohydrates, but it does need animal protein and fats. The majority of the world population doesn't get enough quality animal protein in their daily diet (statistical fact), despite "mainstream" news spouting the complete opposite. This is from Harvard University:
      "Protein is essential to good health. The very origin of the word - from the Greek protos, meaning "first" - reflects protein’s top-shelf status in human nutrition. You need it to put meat on your bones and to make hair, blood, connective tissue, antibodies, enzymes, and more. It’s common for athletes and bodybuilders to wolf down extra protein to bulk up. But the message the rest of us often get is that our daily protein intake is too high- which statistics show just isn't true. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is a modest 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. The RDA is the amount of a nutrient you need to meet your basic nutritional requirements. In a sense, it’s the MINIMUM amount you need to keep from getting sick. To determine your daily protein intake, you can multiply your ideal body weight in pounds by 0.36 (ideal weight meaning healthy BMI for your height). For a 50-year-old woman who weighs 140 pounds and who is sedentary (doesn’t exercise), that translates into 53 grams of protein a day. Beef, poultry, and pork (as well as milk, cheese, and eggs) provide high-quality, highly bio-availibile complete proteins that contain all the essential amino acids the body requires. Many plant based foods- including whole grains, beans and other legumes, nuts and seeds, also provide protein, but they are an incomplete protein, lacking one or more of the 9 essential amino acids the body requires."
