    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!

    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.

    I think I’ve mistaken MSG with Szechuan Peppercorn my entire life. Last night I used the Peppercorn I threw a handful in and was surprised by the “zing” it made my mouth numb, a flavour I’ve always attributed to too much MSG… but there was no MSG. 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. ❤
