A bit of a special episode today. I'm actually quite the introvert, so I don't always jump on the idea of talking about myself :P But! Here goes! Remember to give this episode a thumbs up and tell me a random fact about YOU!
I love love cooking it my favorite hobby so l glad for your inspiration it's encouraged me to do more and cocaine try different recipes thanks for sharing
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She's 84, and refused chemo and radiation. She's only doing diet. The doctors gave her 4 to 6 months to live. She beginning her 4th year of QUALITY life. You wouldn't know she has cancer. We went vegan 4 years ago, when we found out. Your two books and recipes has contributed to her longevity . Thank you for wonderfully tasting dishes. And mom says, "his kitchen is so clean!"..... We love you, Wil, and thank you! Tammera and Simone.
Fellow introvert, Asian, vegan, [frustrated] musician, LOTR and Terminator enthusiast, black lover, and spicy food fiend here! Just saw this video. Love how your face automatically lights up while talking about the things you're passionate about. Thank you for your recipes and insights on food and eating.
Thank you, Wil. Very interesting. I’m over 70 and looking forward to receiving your cookbook to start making those awesome dishes!😃. It’s never too late to try something new!
I never liked to cook before. Had to go plant based due to health reasons and learn to cook - at 61!. So BLESSED to have found you! You make eating enjoyable and doable! Love your straightforward style. You make cooking look peaceful and exciting at the same time. And I feel confident I can do it!
That’s what I was thinking, put some violin on the show. Juggle and paint all at the same time, keep up what you two are doing. I’m sold, Y’all are awesome. And it’s vegan, yes.
I’m so happy I discovered you on UA-cam. I love your simplistic approach to cooking, I enjoy the music you choose to accompany your cooking, I think your menu choices and ideas are creative, and I just enjoy you as a person. There’s no gimmicks and you’re just wonderfully you.
Thanks for sharing so much of yourself Wil! I enjoyed the video, especially how you brightened up talking about your passions. The bike trip you did with your lovely wife for charity really touched me as well. Keep on making the great meals. You're such an inspiration!
I’m so happy that I found you in YT. I’m trying to change my diet to Vegan and being Asian I’m very lucky that I found you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us ❤️
Asian who isn't good at math, wanted to be a paleontologist, likes the colour black, likes LOTR & Terminator, and cooks vegan (so uncommon in Chinese chefs!)?!?!?! - omg my heart, you speak my soul
You are such a beautiful soul Wil. Moreover I'm sure you broke several thousand hearts (I'm sure I heard a collective sigh)... 😊 I'm so profoundly happy that you have your wife. I've been alone for decades while I raised my 3 children (plus others who needed a clean bed, regular meals, and random hugs. My apartment was called IHOP! Our friends are from all around the world - especially Asian friends because it's Houston Texas!)🎉Again, I'm happy to hear you're not alone! 🙏🏽Lord God bless you copiously Wil- including each of your families! With love and faith! Amen ♥️
Wow! Glad this video popped up on my UA-cam loop. Hearing your 20 random facts in the background while I paint, I realized that you’re the younger male version of me. Matching 15 out of 20. You’re definitely my favorite vegan chef as you’re easy to follow, straight to the point and you cook your yummy recipes as spicy as I eat🌶.
Several years ago I went vegan for 6 months because of an abnormal laboratory result. When I went back for repeat labs, everything was normal. I'm no longer vegan but I cannot eat any 4-legged animals anymore because i'd get very sick. I love fish and chicken but sometimes I cook a vegan dinner and when I saw your recipes I thought i'd do it more often. I'm a 60 yr old woman and you are my hero!
Wake up world! This young man is the BOMB...like, subscribe and be a healthier human in the bargain. Will and his wife are what anyone would love to have as neighbors...! Keep up the great work and we will work on a wookie for your anniversary party.
Just started following your videos lately. Go Canada!!!!! :) As a fellow plant-based eater, I love your videos. They are extremely well-produced, clear, concise, and no-nonsense. Love your style!
I have been in Hong Kong 16 years ago and I am absolutely in love with this city ❤. And thank you very much for being vegan and all your gorgeous vegan cooking Art! 💚💚
I feel like I know you better. I now feel part of the ‘cook with confidence’ inner circle! I share your appreciation of Hans Zimmer and like you, I struggle to think of any plant-based food that I don’t like (I would even try the sautéed cucumber). And I wouldn’t say no to a pack of kettle chips. I don’t really do sugary foods but could eat savoury snacks all day long!
Enjoyed this. Wanted to also say that I love your cooking videos too …simple, no fuss and delicious . Your smooth calm voice is an added bonus . Bought a Kindle Version of your book ….and of course the first thing I made is the Chilli Oil . Keep going !
I admire your self awareness and modesty! Everything you create is a delight to experience. I love getting to know you a little bit better, thank you for this video!
I am a lot older than you, interestingly we have quite a few things in common-I also luv Arnold, (watched Terminator 1 and 2 plenty of times with my youngest son), luv Bruce and Kettle chips-sea salt only and I am an introvert. And a new vegan, which you are helping me with. Thanks so much. Keep those recipes coming...
Just discovered your recipes last week! My husband and I became vegan thanks to our son, Francis! He is a vegan activist! Looking forward to trying your recipes, they look so good and easy! Being vegan made a big difference in our health; never to late - I became vegan at 75 and enjoy it! I really like your videos! Keep up your good work! Wishing you and your wife the best! God bless you both!
I admire and grateful for you Wil! This world need more thoughtful and kind like you, who think outside the box; hope your charity grows abundantly;✌️🤛🏽🙏🏼
I enjoyed learning about you, Wil! Just discovered your recipes recently (now have your cookbook) and I look forward to new ones. In this video, it was fun to discover your diverse interests. The bike ride you did with your wife for charity-one that makes it possible for people to see beauty-nearly brought me to tears. Keep on living your best life and thanks for all you do. Random fact about me: I lived in Japan for 20 years, and have kept my taste for Asian cooking here in the US. Recently I watched your vegan ramen video-the one featuring the shop in Tokyo Station-and could imagine myself eating there. Can’t wait to make your recipe!
Welcome and glad you’re here Kathleen 🥳 boy I miss japan! I admire your kind words and thank you so much for ordering the cookbook 🍜 it means a lot! Stay tuned for exciting news and new episodes coming 🙌🏻
Fun video ! Thank you for sharing, I’m a big fan and have your Vegan Ramen cookbook ! I’m so happy to see your married , she’s Beautiful 😁 Sending you All The Best for continued happiness and success! From what I see , you can’t miss 👍👏🙏
Lovely vid, thanks for sharing and nice to see you smiling🤗. My random fact is that I haven't eaten any meat for nearly three weeks. I feel inspired by your cooking with confidence videos so I cooked Singapore noodles and it was amazing. Keep sharing🤗.
Ping pong counts as a sport!! And I couldn't agree more with you about the cracked pepper! Love that you're opening up the channel more, as fellow nerds it's awesome learning how much of a nerd you are!!! And since you mentioned in another comment that we could ask questions for an upcoming Q&A video: 1) How'd you discover veganism? 2) Goku vs. Superman who would win?
Weebhut Jr lol ping pong yaaas! YES a cracked pepper buddy 👌 thank you so much for the kind words I appreciate that! Many thanks also for the questions!!! Working on Q & A, but lots new episodes coming, stay tuned 🙏!!!
Hah, since I saw your first video I instantly knew that you're an amazing, kind-hearted (and little nerdy) guy :) And I really love your choice of movies and the way you view the world. Keep up the good work! :)
You're welcome :) Hmm, let's see...I didn't do as many interesting things as you did, but the first random thing that comes into my mind is that my major is in Mandarin. I'm Romanian and it's still not that common in Romania for people to learn Chinese - but I love it :)
I totally love your cooking videos! Your voice has something so amazing! It’s so hypnotizing! And I love you always end with the sentence: you can cook this recipe with total confidence! Love! Love! Love it! My random fact is, i really really love to cook, i am an actress from Vienna, but my first job aspiration as a kid was to become a farmer bevor I found acting. And now since 4 years I am also a beekeeper and run a Beekeeping Business together with my boyfriend as a side job. Thanks for alle the fantastic inspirations and keep up the good work!
Thanks for all you do. I love your vids. You know how to simplify recipes that I would shy away from. You may not teach children the violin, but you're teaching many different ages how to Cook with Confidence!!!!!💛💛💛
Thank you so much for sharing your gift of cooking. My young daughter has been a vegetarian for 4 years and it has been difficult to find meals she really likes that can supply her with proper nutrition. I have made 4 of your dishes so far and all have been deliciously satisfying. Especial when you add the chili oil! Yummy. Again, thank you and don’t stop what you do. I appreciate you so much!!
So great getting to know you better! I started violin a few years ago as a 60+ adult. I love it. I think it keeps my mind active. Thanks, Wil, for a glimpse into your life!
Multi-talented, multi-passionate young guy who exudes confidence even if, in reality, he is an introvert so maybe not done modelling (yet?!) even though he is a photographer! He is a good teacher in how to deal with life as well as cooking,, even if he is doubtful about himself in that direction. Funny how people see us differently from how we see ourselves sometimes. I used to play (with) the violin when I was young. There is a big difference between playing and playing with an instrument! Blessings and peace be with him. 16:00
Thx for sharing who u r .. love your short n sharp cooking videos . Random fact about me ,-I’ve never been much of a cook, but it took Covid n Wil Yueng to give me the confidence ! Am also a fan of vegan, spicy ,Asian foods . Keep up the great work👍
1) Ping Pong is a sport! 2) LOTR is a great movie, but if you have time, read the books. They are my all time favorite. 3) You should really let us know how you are able to perfectly arrange your spikey hair. Thanks for sharing.
Will... this one popped too in my feed so I gotta hit play.... Ahh... I love how you sneakily trying to get with your wife on the pretense of practicing violin but it work! Looking forward to more interesting videos from you and tell your wife she’s one lucky girl....
Loved getting to know you. Thank you for sharing… Random fact about me, grew up in Colorado eating some of the most wonderful homegrown beef and pork. Now I only cook and eat vegetarian/vegan. I love all of your recipes and again thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge. Best wishes.
I’m late here. But what a fun video!! And heck yeah, Bruce Lee!! 💯 He will always be my #1!!! I can relate to quite a few of your random facts. Interesting stuff on this video. Too cool 😎. My one random fact is that my little brother and I used to speak Pig Latin to each other but in our native Chinese dialect so that absolutely no one in public could understand our conversations 🤣. He’s no longer with us but I still think about that all the time.
Random fact #1 I cook with "Confidence" Random fact #2 I absolutley " hated " vegan food Random fact #3 Love vegan food "Now" Incredible Thankyou very much.❤ Random fact #4 "Jealous" Fact #1 Happy for you and your stunning wife. Your lives have exquisite tastes. Cheers
First I came for the recipes, then I was hooked on the great presentation and fun wordplay. but the more I watch Will, the more I become sooo smitten...
Great to know that u are multi talented. One thing y I started watching your channel is I liked your down to earth nature. You are so simple.. that's where we start liking people . And great to know that you play violin. Btw I'm a Carnatic classical singer.. , who loves to cook dishes from multiple cuisines. Basically I was vegetarian. Recently i have turned vegan from the past 2 years..
I did get the impression that you were an introvert. You are such a fine young man. You deserve every happiness in life. I love your cooking videos . I too could live on potatoes for a month. My random fact is, I absolutely adore cats and dogs. 🐾❤ PS. Your wife is beautiful. 🤗
Love story how you met your wife ❤️. So relatable as I raised similar but no nerd and don’t think you are either.....Field hockey, la crosse, softball, diving team, violin and choir and tae kwan do black belt with AP classes in high school. Oh and marathon runner. I survived the driving and so did she 😁and now a top surgeon today. Love all your shows, have to check out your cookbooks!
Random fact: I’m a meat lover! But.... I also LOVE fresh, organic, high quality foods & cooking is one of my passions! Love organizing my kitchen!!! My granddaughter, whom I raised, turned vegan 2-3 years ago so I’ve made it my mission to stretch & learn vegan cooking! Her fav right now are ramen bowls! So when I saw your channel and loved your heart/style/manner/foods I’ve been having so much fun shopping the Asian Market & building my spice rack to accommodate your simple but WOW recipes! She turned 22 Friday & I made her your amazing & INCREDIBLE (lol) Chickpea Marsala! She really loved it!!! And for the rest of the family I served it atop some beef. We all loved it so much! We all love Asian food so learning how to prepare it & to please my granddaughter at the same time has been such a joy for me. I really appreciate you cracking the door of your personal life and allowing us, the world, to get a peek of who you are. It’s obvious that both you & your wife are quite special and are very well matched! Maybe one day you might consider playing your violin for us? I’m a HUGE violin lover! No pressure though! Hugs to you & your beautiful wife! You need to create an apron or a t-shirt that says “Cooking with absolute confidence” on one side & “INCREDIBLE” on the other. But I’m sure you already have something creative that’s been rolling around in your head.🤣👍🚩 I so want to purchase one of those big ramen bowls as a gift for my granddaughter. In hopes you can work something out with that artist, or if not, point me to them? Keep Growing & Inspiring Wil!🥁🎷🎺🎻🎸🎹🎷🎻🎻🎻 One more random fact: I played first chair tenor & alto saxophone in 8th grade.
This was so much fun. I was really happy when I read somewhere that you are a fellow Canadian - my husband is from Oakville, too! I'm totally with you on the black pepper thing. Almost every time I grind pepper over our food, I stop and take a minute to appreciate the incredible smell. It's spicy and floral and wonderfully aromatic. Hard to believe we have such easy access to something so special. We love your recipes. I made your Manchurian tofu two days ago, and it was flawless. Thanks for all the great content!
Hey, pepper fanatic here. I'm impatient with the regular grinder, so I got a mortar and pestle (IKEA) to crush my organic black pepper corns. Yes, the scent is heavenly. Thank you, Wil for your amazing vegan recipes. You're making the world a better place.
Random fact: I have been known to randomly buy musical instruments (flute, guitar, violin) and teach myself to play them. Or buy a ball of yarn and a crochet hook and go from knowing nothing to making blankets, hats, bags, etc. ☺️
Thank you for adding depth to who you are. You're so funny! Interesting too. Random fact: I was born in Sweden, grew up in Canada and moved to Spain at 50. I've been living in Spain for six years. Bonus fact: My (vegan) Mom is in Canada still, and we do your recipes together. We both just love you!
Hi Wil, I am loooving these vegan, Asian food videos of yours. I find myself clicking on them all! I am starting to lean into a more plant-based healthier lifestyle since being diagnosed with HBP. I love the fact that you bicycled in Toronto for Saiva Canada charity - SO Cool!! Can't wait to get your cookbooks and start eating with all that chili oil - it looks so great I can just imagine the taste! Just a warning --- be careful eating all those Kettle Potato Chips with salt - I know how good they are - I was addicted to Lay's Lime & Salt --- it can be bad for your arteries, as I'm finding out for myself. Love and blessings to you & yours Wil!
I love your channel and thank you for this! I feel like I might be able to cook a delicious Asian meal now! I love tofu and after watching some of your videos, I feel i can put a tofu dish together "with confidence". 😊
Hi Wil! Thanks for sharing. I’m an introvert too. I love your channel and cookbook. Actually, your cooking show is my favorite! Please keep creating/sharing content and I’ll keep watching! Take care!
You are an amazing chef. I came across your channel about two months ago, so, I am behind on all of your delicious foods, but I am trying to catch up. Thank you for your healthy delicious foods for this vegetarian/ vegan girl.
I love all your random facts about you.. except the spicy food 😂 although I'm from a middle eastern background, I like "spices" not "spicy" !! That's why I like your recipes because they are simple to follow while our middle eastern dishes can be complicated and take a long time to make (worth it !!) You need to get hold of Arnold Schwarzenegger since he's been doing vegan diet (sometimes) and need to taste your cooking!! Speaking of Star Wars: I like to walk down the hallways at our clinic humming the Dark Vader's Imperial March theme 😉
It's so nice to hear the other sode of you that i didnt know apart from being a great chef. Thank you for this - may you continue to be blessed in everything you do in life. Love your positivity
Hey Will! Gosh I enjoyed this video so much as well as all of your videos. I too am a photographer. Wildlife, Travel, and Macro. I have also throughly enjoyed shooting food photography. I am as addicted to that as I am in shooting macro photography. Currently I’m in the beginning stages of writing a vegan cookbook! It’s time consuming but man, what a high with every key stroke! I own an accounting and income tax business so pretty much 4-6 months of the year I’m laser focused on my clients needs and not so much my personal desires. Yearly after my business slows down or in the case of income tax preparation, the business closes, in schedule an international vacation and completely get off the grid. It’s just me, my phone and my camera equipment for 2 -3 week in another country. Unplugged and enjoying God, HIS life’s purpose and mine. Also, I too love and devour a bag of chips a week, actually the size bag will last me about a week and 1/2. It’s a must for me! Kettle honey mustard is the bomb-dare yah to try them… or I’ll snack on Snyder’ Honey mustard pretzel bits… 2nd dare-lol. The crunch texture, taste, and definitely the satisfaction of the sound (with my lips closed of course-lol) is akin to 30minutes of Zen or a deep tissue massage. The only sounds I hear after I’m seated in my comfortable chair is the opening or reopening of that bag and the slow crunch of one chip at a time being devoured with great satisfaction. I think of the agenda of that day and the next 39 days… I totally get your reason for the chips and your desire for life’s continued challenges! What else is there to life to be challenge it, respect it and live it to its fullest. Hopefully along the journey someone is met that makes life journeys more than a possibility! Loaves and fishes ~ Gerri
Not too surprising... we share a lot of the same things in common.... I'm older of course. I really enjoy your cooking videos and this video was a nice compliment to them. Pleasure to meet you Will! 😀
I love listening to you talk. I’m very ADD so the background music was very distracting to me. I appreciate when u give 1 word answers, direct, precise, easy to follow.
You are so cool and interesting! Travel vlogs, What I eat in a day, type videos from you would be fun to watch. If you dislike stir fried cucumbers (in sweet n sour sauce wouldn’t be too bad because Thai style does that), you should try cooking cucumbers in soup. Thai cucumber soup is clear and refreshing/comforting :) Random fact; I’ve never had Indian food until my family went vegan. Now it’s one of my favorite food :)
Much appreciated 🙏👨🍳 interesting! I’ll have to try that with the cucumbers 🥒 oh man, Indian cuisine is one of my favourites also! Incredibly flavourful 🤤
Fantastic vid, Wil. Really enjoyed learning about you. Random fact about me... I’ve been to HK over 100 times over the last 30 years for business and pleasure. Incredibly, I still learn something new with every visit. I like staying in Tsim Sha Tsui so that I can look across Victoria Harbor and watch the lights. Bonus random fact: my wife is a movie history buff and literally requires me to have the pianist in the hotel lobby play “Love is a many splendored thing” anytime she’s accompanied me. 👍
Hi Wil! Just discovered your channel today when I was looking for a good recipe for Singapore noodles. Can't wait to try them! Just wondered if your wife is as neat and organized as you. Love your organized kitchen! Cooking a lot more during this quarantine and love Chinese and Thai dishes, but suddenly feel like some kettle chips! Thanks for what you do!! Very inspiring!
you are a great person! I love kettle chips (salted... no other flavour) Love to hear you play the violin. What about a short video of you playing !?? love your recipes
I just found you today and have been totally captivated by your cooking techniques and how easily you make things look. I tried being a vegan for a year and really didn't know what I was doing so as you can guess I blew up in weight rapidly. I have now slimmed down but I do eat some poultry, fish & seafood, (that is the random fact about me). I will definitely be making some of your recipes and have subscribed! Thank you!
I love that you are such an unashamed nerdy geek… not many people have the confidence to be themselves! It’s fantastic. It was great to learn more about you - you’re a tremendous chef and a class act - beautiful channel and great recipes. Love your presentation. You deserve huge success - I am going to order your cookbook today!!
I've just found out about your channel and I'm amazed. Thank you so much for all that recipes you've been sharing. I wanna go vegan and I love this kind of cuisine your have. I'm really grateful for all the inspiration you've gave me. 🙂
I just came across this video today. It struck many chords for me. I am vegan and gluten-free. My husband is Chinese from inner Mongolia. Also vegan. Your Asian vegan recipes have been stimulating for us. I’m from BC and grew up as a teenager and young adult with a large family of friends imported from Hong Kong. My favourite teenage musician was Sammy HUI. Dim Sum was a revelation for me as a young person so your Lo Bak Goh recipe has lit up my world. Potatoes are my favourite too. Just beginning to explore your videos & will check out your cookbooks too. 👉Thank 💫you👌
A bit of a special episode today. I'm actually quite the introvert, so I don't always jump on the idea of talking about myself :P But! Here goes! Remember to give this episode a thumbs up and tell me a random fact about YOU!
Italiana innamorata dell'Estremo Oriente, specialmente di HK, che ho visitato più volte e dove ho amici! 🙋
I am also pretty introvert and also talk to myself. I love to do photography and cooking
So true about the cracked pepper
I can juggle!
I love love cooking it my favorite hobby so l glad for your inspiration it's encouraged me to do more and cocaine try different recipes thanks for sharing
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She's 84, and refused chemo and radiation. She's only doing diet. The doctors gave her 4 to 6 months to live. She beginning her 4th year of QUALITY life. You wouldn't know she has cancer. We went vegan 4 years ago, when we found out. Your two books and recipes has contributed to her longevity . Thank you for wonderfully tasting dishes. And mom says, "his kitchen is so clean!"..... We love you, Wil, and thank you!

Black is the best color 🤭
Thank you so much ☺️ it means a lot
That’s what I was thinking, put some violin on the show. Juggle and paint all at the same time, keep up what you two are doing. I’m sold, Y’all are awesome. And it’s vegan, yes.
WHATEVER YOU GOOD AT.. DON'T STOP TALKING..YOUR VOICE IS SOOO DEEP AND RELAXING..MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
“Let’s practice together…” SMOOTH bro
I’m so happy I discovered you on UA-cam. I love your simplistic approach to cooking, I enjoy the music you choose to accompany your cooking, I think your menu choices and ideas are creative, and I just enjoy you as a person. There’s no gimmicks and you’re just wonderfully you.

And a new vegan, which you are helping me with. Thanks so much. Keep those recipes coming...
Oh wow that’s awesome 👏🏻 here especially with the sea salt kettle chips 😬😇

Fun video ! Thank you for sharing, I’m a big fan and have your Vegan Ramen cookbook ! I’m so happy to see your married , she’s Beautiful 😁 Sending you All The Best for continued happiness and success! From what I see , you can’t miss 👍👏🙏
Lovely vid, thanks for sharing and nice to see you smiling🤗. My random fact is that I haven't eaten any meat for nearly three weeks. I feel inspired by your cooking with confidence videos so I cooked Singapore noodles and it was amazing. Keep sharing🤗.
Awesome 🙌🏻🍜👨🏻🍳
Thanks for this episode! Loved to learn more about you! I enjoyed your cooking videos.
Ping pong counts as a sport!! And I couldn't agree more with you about the cracked pepper!
Love that you're opening up the channel more, as fellow nerds it's awesome learning how much of a nerd you are!!!
And since you mentioned in another comment that we could ask questions for an upcoming Q&A video:
1) How'd you discover veganism?
2) Goku vs. Superman who would win?
Weebhut Jr lol ping pong yaaas! YES a cracked pepper buddy 👌 thank you so much for the kind words I appreciate that! Many thanks also for the questions!!! Working on Q & A, but lots new episodes coming, stay tuned 🙏!!!
Love hearing your story! I’d love to to hear more personal experiences in your recipe videos.
Hah, since I saw your first video I instantly knew that you're an amazing, kind-hearted (and little nerdy) guy :) And I really love your choice of movies and the way you view the world. Keep up the good work! :)
Wow! Thank you so much for the incredible words, you're amazing!! BUT!!! You must also leave a random fact about YOU ;)
You're welcome :) Hmm, let's see...I didn't do as many interesting things as you did, but the first random thing that comes into my mind is that my major is in Mandarin. I'm Romanian and it's still not that common in Romania for people to learn Chinese - but I love it :)
Poet Dawn 7 that’s bloody awesome 👏!!!!! That’s a very difficult language to learn!
Thank you :) Do you also know Mandarin? Or just Cantonese?
I just speak Cantonese :) Would love to learn Mandarin, but I'm not that language savvy :(
You deserve any and all happiness and success you get! Your cooking clips are fabulous
I totally love your cooking videos! Your voice has something so amazing! It’s so hypnotizing! And I love you always end with the sentence: you can cook this recipe with total confidence! Love! Love! Love it!
My random fact is, i really really love to cook, i am an actress from Vienna, but my first job aspiration as a kid was to become a farmer bevor I found acting. And now since 4 years I am also a beekeeper and run a Beekeeping Business together with my boyfriend as a side job.
Thanks for alle the fantastic inspirations and keep up the good work!
Thanks for all you do. I love your vids. You know how to simplify recipes that I would shy away from. You may not teach children the violin, but you're teaching many different ages how to Cook with Confidence!!!!!💛💛💛
I admire your saying that ☺️ glad you’re here
Thank you so much for sharing your gift of cooking. My young daughter has been a vegetarian for 4 years and it has been difficult to find meals she really likes that can supply her with proper nutrition. I have made 4 of your dishes so far and all have been deliciously satisfying. Especial when you add the chili oil! Yummy. Again, thank you and don’t stop what you do. I appreciate you so much!!
May God bless you and your wife. I like your recipes big time🎉❤🎉❤
So great getting to know you better! I started violin a few years ago as a 60+ adult. I love it. I think it keeps my mind active. Thanks, Wil, for a glimpse into your life!
You are absolutely my favorite chef!! Keep those amazing recipes coming!
Multi-talented, multi-passionate young guy who exudes confidence even if, in reality, he is an introvert so maybe not done modelling (yet?!) even though he is a photographer!
He is a good teacher in how to deal with life as well as cooking,, even if he is doubtful about himself in that direction. Funny how people see us differently from how we see ourselves sometimes.
I used to play (with) the violin when I was young. There is a big difference between playing and playing with an instrument!
Blessings and peace be with him. 16:00
Thx for sharing who u r .. love your short n sharp cooking videos . Random fact about me ,-I’ve never been much of a cook, but it took Covid n Wil Yueng to give me the confidence ! Am also a fan of vegan, spicy ,Asian foods . Keep up the great work👍
Awesome!! Thank you so much ☺️
I just Love your cooking and your voice is so soothing and thank you for all you do to help us cook the right way 😊
I am a new vegan...your channel is amazing!! Your voice is soothing and oozes confidence....so much for being an introvert. Keep sharing with us.
Welcome 🥳 glad you’re here
1) Ping Pong is a sport! 2) LOTR is a great movie, but if you have time, read the books. They are my all time favorite. 3) You should really let us know how you are able to perfectly arrange your spikey hair.
Thanks for sharing.
Aww this was cool! I love seeing people talk about things that they're passionate about 😊
☺️
Will... this one popped too in my feed so I gotta hit play.... Ahh... I love how you sneakily trying to get with your wife on the pretense of practicing violin but it work! Looking forward to more interesting videos from you and tell your wife she’s one lucky girl....
Thank you so much ☺️
Absolute wonderful charity! Thank you for sharing 🕊
You're very sweet, Will!
Wishing you all the best! Keep creating! 🤗😘
Loved getting to know you. Thank you for sharing…
Random fact about me, grew up in Colorado eating some of the most wonderful homegrown beef and pork. Now I only cook and eat vegetarian/vegan. I love all of your recipes and again thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge. Best wishes.
I’m late here. But what a fun video!! And heck yeah, Bruce Lee!! 💯 He will always be my #1!!! I can relate to quite a few of your random facts. Interesting stuff on this video. Too cool 😎. My one random fact is that my little brother and I used to speak Pig Latin to each other but in our native Chinese dialect so that absolutely no one in public could understand our conversations 🤣. He’s no longer with us but I still think about that all the time.
What a great memory 🤗
Random fact #1
I cook with "Confidence"
Random fact #2
I absolutley " hated " vegan food
Random fact #3
Love vegan food "Now" Incredible Thankyou very much.❤
Random fact #4
"Jealous"
Fact #1 Happy for you and your stunning wife. Your lives have exquisite tastes.
Cheers
First I came for the recipes, then I was hooked on the great presentation and fun wordplay. but the more I watch Will, the more I become sooo smitten...
YAY! Really enjoyed the video. Random fact#1. English and Math were my best subjects but English was my favorite 😝🤓
AH you were the class smarty pants LOL :P
Great to know that u are multi talented. One thing y I started watching your channel is I liked your down to earth nature. You are so simple.. that's where we start liking people .
And great to know that you play violin. Btw I'm a Carnatic classical singer.. , who loves to cook dishes from multiple cuisines. Basically I was vegetarian. Recently i have turned vegan from the past 2 years..
And all the ladies hearts broke at #10!
This 71 yr old African-American man appreciates your content immensely!
Thank you! 🙏
BTW
Do you ever eat any kind of seafood or meat? 😮
Glad I watched this! You're really cool 🤩Have a great weekend!
Many thanks 🙏 you as well 🙌😁
I did get the impression that you were an introvert. You are such a fine young man. You deserve every happiness in life. I love your cooking videos . I too could live on potatoes for a month. My random fact is, I absolutely adore cats and dogs. 🐾❤
PS. Your wife is beautiful. 🤗
Love story how you met your wife ❤️. So relatable as I raised similar but no nerd and don’t think you are either.....Field hockey, la crosse, softball, diving team, violin and choir and tae kwan do black belt with AP classes in high school. Oh and marathon runner. I survived the driving and so did she 😁and now a top surgeon today. Love all your shows, have to check out your cookbooks!
Wow that’s amazing 🙌🏻
Random fact: I’m a meat lover!
But.... I also LOVE fresh, organic, high quality foods & cooking is one of my passions!
Love organizing my kitchen!!!
My granddaughter, whom I raised, turned vegan 2-3 years ago so I’ve made it my mission to stretch & learn vegan cooking! Her fav right now are ramen bowls! So when I saw your channel and loved your heart/style/manner/foods I’ve been having so much fun shopping the Asian Market & building my spice rack to accommodate your simple but WOW recipes!
She turned 22 Friday & I made her your amazing &
INCREDIBLE (lol)
Chickpea Marsala! She really loved it!!! And for the rest of the family I served it atop some beef. We all loved it so much!
We all love Asian food so learning how to prepare it & to please my granddaughter at the same time has been such a joy for me.
I really appreciate you cracking the door of your personal life and allowing us, the world, to get a peek of who you are.
It’s obvious that both you & your wife are quite special and are very well matched!
Maybe one day you might consider playing your violin for us? I’m a HUGE violin lover!
No pressure though!
Hugs to you & your beautiful wife!
You need to create an apron or a t-shirt that says “Cooking with absolute confidence” on one side & “INCREDIBLE” on the other. But I’m sure you already have something creative that’s been rolling around in your head.🤣👍🚩
I so want to purchase one of those big ramen bowls as a gift for my granddaughter. In hopes you can work something out with that artist, or if not, point me to them?
Keep Growing & Inspiring Wil!🥁🎷🎺🎻🎸🎹🎷🎻🎻🎻
One more random fact:
I played first chair tenor & alto saxophone in 8th grade.
That’s amazing, I’ll keep this in mind 😊
You guys are awesomely crazy, super fun, super creative, and your recipes are delicious.
You are awesome, Yeung Man! Love all your recipes cause I am vegetarian and always longed to make chinese food which i can eat.
This was so much fun. I was really happy when I read somewhere that you are a fellow Canadian - my husband is from Oakville, too!
I'm totally with you on the black pepper thing. Almost every time I grind pepper over our food, I stop and take a minute to appreciate the incredible smell. It's spicy and floral and wonderfully aromatic. Hard to believe we have such easy access to something so special.
We love your recipes. I made your Manchurian tofu two days ago, and it was flawless. Thanks for all the great content!
Ahhh, no way. That’s amazing 🙌🏻, glad to hear how you value pepper - it truly is so amazing 😏
Hey, pepper fanatic here. I'm impatient with the regular grinder, so I got a mortar and pestle (IKEA) to crush my organic black pepper corns. Yes, the scent is heavenly. Thank you, Wil for your amazing vegan recipes. You're making the world a better place.
Totally big fan your recipes are elegantly simple but tasty .... great phase no BS vegan couldn’t agree more !
What a wonderful life and experiences you have so far. Thank you for sharing Will. I am happy for you both. Sherie Rodrigues from Australia
Random fact: I have been known to randomly buy musical instruments (flute, guitar, violin) and teach myself to play them. Or buy a ball of yarn and a crochet hook and go from knowing nothing to making blankets, hats, bags, etc. ☺️
"I'm actually not very good at math, unless I have a calculator...I dunno if that ~counts~"
Random fact about me: I love a good pun xD
Thank you for adding depth to who you are. You're so funny! Interesting too. Random fact: I was born in Sweden, grew up in Canada and moved to Spain at 50. I've been living in Spain for six years. Bonus fact: My (vegan) Mom is in Canada still, and we do your recipes together. We both just love you!
That is so amazing you can cook together 🙌🏻 Enjoy and stay safe 🥳
Hi Wil, I am loooving these vegan, Asian food videos of yours. I find myself clicking on them all! I am starting to lean into a more plant-based healthier lifestyle since being diagnosed with HBP. I love the fact that you bicycled in Toronto for Saiva Canada charity - SO Cool!! Can't wait to get your cookbooks and start eating with all that chili oil - it looks so great I can just imagine the taste! Just a warning --- be careful eating all those Kettle Potato Chips with salt - I know how good they are - I was addicted to Lay's Lime & Salt --- it can be bad for your arteries, as I'm finding out for myself. Love and blessings to you & yours Wil!
Beautiful couple! You two really seem like soul mates! So happy for you both 🥳👍😁❤️🌷
I love your channel and thank you for this! I feel like I might be able to cook a delicious Asian meal now! I love tofu and after watching some of your videos, I feel i can put a tofu dish together "with confidence". 😊
Yass 🥳
Hi Wil! Thanks for sharing. I’m an introvert too. I love your channel and cookbook. Actually, your cooking show is my favorite! Please keep creating/sharing content and I’ll keep watching! Take care!
🤗
You are an amazing chef. I came across your channel about two months ago, so, I am behind on all of your delicious foods, but I am trying to catch up. Thank you for your healthy delicious foods for this vegetarian/ vegan girl.
Thanks for sharing. And thank you for creating the lovely easy tasty recipes. Cheers
I love all your random facts about you.. except the spicy food 😂 although I'm from a middle eastern background, I like "spices" not "spicy" !! That's why I like your recipes because they are simple to follow while our middle eastern dishes can be complicated and take a long time to make (worth it !!) You need to get hold of Arnold Schwarzenegger since he's been doing vegan diet (sometimes) and need to taste your cooking!!
Speaking of Star Wars: I like to walk down the hallways at our clinic humming the Dark Vader's Imperial March theme 😉
Love it🥳
It's so nice to hear the other sode of you that i didnt know apart from being a great chef. Thank you for this - may you continue to be blessed in everything you do in life. Love your positivity
Hey Will! Gosh I enjoyed this video so much as well as all of your videos. I too am a photographer. Wildlife, Travel, and Macro. I have also throughly enjoyed shooting food photography. I am as addicted to that as I am in shooting macro photography. Currently I’m in the beginning stages of writing a vegan cookbook! It’s time consuming but man, what a high with every key stroke! I own an accounting and income tax business so pretty much 4-6 months of the year I’m laser focused on my clients needs and not so much my personal desires. Yearly after my business slows down or in the case of income tax preparation, the business closes, in schedule an international vacation and completely get off the grid. It’s just me, my phone and my camera equipment for 2 -3 week in another country. Unplugged and enjoying God, HIS life’s purpose and mine.
Also, I too love and devour a bag of chips a week, actually the size bag will last me about a week and 1/2. It’s a must for me! Kettle honey mustard is the bomb-dare yah to try them… or I’ll snack on Snyder’ Honey mustard pretzel bits… 2nd dare-lol. The crunch texture, taste, and definitely the satisfaction of the sound (with my lips closed of course-lol) is akin to 30minutes of Zen or a deep tissue massage. The only sounds I hear after I’m seated in my comfortable chair is the opening or reopening of that bag and the slow crunch of one chip at a time being devoured with great satisfaction. I think of the agenda of that day and the next 39 days… I totally get your reason for the chips and your desire for life’s continued challenges! What else is there to life to be challenge it, respect it and live it to its fullest. Hopefully along the journey someone is met that makes life journeys more than a possibility!

Not too surprising... we share a lot of the same things in common.... I'm older of course. I really enjoy your cooking videos and this video was a nice compliment to them. Pleasure to meet you Will! 😀
I love listening to you talk. I’m very ADD so the background music was very distracting to me. I appreciate when u give 1 word answers, direct, precise, easy to follow.
Agree. I don't have ADD but I found it really distracting.
You are so cool and interesting! Travel vlogs, What I eat in a day, type videos from you would be fun to watch. If you dislike stir fried cucumbers (in sweet n sour sauce wouldn’t be too bad because Thai style does that), you should try cooking cucumbers in soup. Thai cucumber soup is clear and refreshing/comforting :)
Random fact; I’ve never had Indian food until my family went vegan. Now it’s one of my favorite food :)
Much appreciated 🙏👨🍳 interesting! I’ll have to try that with the cucumbers 🥒 oh man, Indian cuisine is one of my favourites also! Incredibly flavourful 🤤
Fantastic vid, Wil. Really enjoyed learning about you. Random fact about me... I’ve been to HK over 100 times over the last 30 years for business and pleasure. Incredibly, I still learn something new with every visit. I like staying in Tsim Sha Tsui so that I can look across Victoria Harbor and watch the lights. Bonus random fact: my wife is a movie history buff and literally requires me to have the pianist in the hotel lobby play “Love is a many splendored thing” anytime she’s accompanied me. 👍
Thanks for sharing that Gary 🙏🏻 man I miss Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and my heart is so heavy for them right now ☹️
Wil Yeung - Cook With Confidence I know... it’s surreal. 😕
Hi Wil! Just discovered your channel today when I was looking for a good recipe for Singapore noodles. Can't wait to try them! Just wondered if your wife is as neat and organized as you. Love your organized kitchen! Cooking a lot more during this quarantine and love Chinese and Thai dishes, but suddenly feel like some kettle chips! Thanks for what you do!! Very inspiring!
PS My random fact is that my friends and I now meet on the internet daily at Real Mah Jongg and play for a few hours! Love it!
you are a great person! I love kettle chips (salted... no other flavour) Love to hear you play the violin. What about a short video of you playing !?? love your recipes
I just found you today and have been totally captivated by your cooking techniques and how easily you make things look. I tried being a vegan for a year and really didn't know what I was doing so as you can guess I blew up in weight rapidly. I have now slimmed down but I do eat some poultry, fish & seafood, (that is the random fact about me). I will definitely be making some of your recipes and have subscribed! Thank you!
Welcome 🥳 glad you’re here
Watched this today whilst making your chilli oil. Enjoyed doing both👍
I love that you are such an unashamed nerdy geek… not many people have the confidence to be themselves! It’s fantastic. It was great to learn more about you - you’re a tremendous chef and a class act - beautiful channel and great recipes. Love your presentation. You deserve huge success - I am going to order your cookbook today!!
I've just found out about your channel and I'm amazed. Thank you so much for all that recipes you've been sharing. I wanna go vegan and I love this kind of cuisine your have. I'm really grateful for all the inspiration you've gave me. 🙂
🙌🏻🥳👨🏻🍳
I just came across this video today. It struck many chords for me. I am vegan and gluten-free. My husband is Chinese from inner Mongolia. Also vegan. Your Asian vegan recipes have been stimulating for us. I’m from BC and grew up as a teenager and young adult with a large family of friends imported from Hong Kong. My favourite teenage musician was Sammy HUI. Dim Sum was a revelation for me as a young person so your Lo Bak Goh recipe has lit up my world. Potatoes are my favourite too. Just beginning to explore your videos & will check out your cookbooks too. 👉Thank 💫you👌
Really enjoyed this…the man behind the excellent cooking…thanks 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
