I’ve been cooking Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Thai food for 25 years. I send all my friends and family to this channel when they want to learn how to cook Chinese. There is a wealth of information here starting with the ingredients tutorial. I wish this channel was around when I was learning all those years ago.

[romystumpy]

Reading all the comments, I have to agree with them all, this is the best channel for Chinese cuisine, not rushed and well explained.

I came back to thank you for sharing your dumpling filling recipes!
Made pork dumplings and bf and dad loved it.
My dad is very critical when it comes to me cooking and he said the filling tasted amazing and the technique I used to pleat my dumplings was professional!
To anyone reading this, dont hesitate to try her recipes! This is fool proof :D

I really appreciate your “free” video lessons. I pull up your video of choice for dinner and walk through it with you. Beats a cookbook hands down🤗. Orange Chicken is my husband’s favorite so far. I just can’t thank you enough. I am sure like me, many of us subscribers spend lots of time with you in the kitchen 😍.

Most sympathetic YouTuber I've seen in a while. The details and general info is perfectly balanced as well, just like the recipes. Keep up the great work! 👍

[dinkaboutit]

OMG! I can't believe I've never seen your channel before. I cook a lot of Chinese and Korean food and I've been watching your videos for about 4 hours now and I think your the best and most authentic Chinese food I've seen on you tube and your detail and video quality is excellent! This dumpling video is amazing! You're the only one who's showing us anything besides the same old pork and spring onion filling. Anyway I'm a subscriber now, and I hope you have a cookbook.
