I can't tell you how happy I am for this video! I dined with friends at Lee in Toronto earlier this year. This was the highlight of the 7 dishes we ordered to share. Not only IS this dish explosive with flavor, it is also versatile and pairs well with everything! We had plenty of it to try with each dish we ordered, and it complimented the dishes seamlessly. This was the most pleasurable experience of the entire week, and my entire year thus far. BRAVO, CHEF!

It’s truly bold for a world class chef to openly state his signature dish is a salad. A complex salad, but a salad. Theres no sophisticated cooking methods to hide behind, it just rely on pure flavor, ingredient quality, and texture alone.

I talked to someone who used to work for Susur Lee. Said that this dish recipe was split between 2 cooks. Neither cook knew the whole recipe. It was top secret. Had it in person when I used to live in Toronto. It was extremely delicious and memorable.

This dish is simply gorgeous. The colours and textures blend so seamlessly, no doubt it's your guests' favourite dish. A lot of thought was put into it, and I love the meaning and story behind the choice for each ingredient.

Thats literally the best "salad style" dish I've ever consumed and I travel all around Asia and Europe for half the year and live in NYC. Had it at Lee on King Street in Toronto. It kind of tastes like pad thai with some crunchy, citrusy, fruity and sweet elements but in pure salad form. Tastes very healthy and delicious. You can typically get it with a piece of salmon as well, which I recommend.

This is the salad that changed my husband’s perspective on salads forever. This is truly a life changing dish! Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[Maghefer]

I traveled from Mexico to Toronto just to try that dish and is completely worth it👍🏼 have to try it at least once in a life time

I had the pleasure of enjoying this not too long ago and even though I normally hate some of the ingredients (such as cilantro and ginger) the mix of flavours and textures was truly delicious. Would recommend!

it's so interesting to see this as a singaporean. for us, each ingredient in yusheng (as we call it) has symbolic meaning, and we add each ingredient to the plate while wishing everyone at the table luck, prosperity, and good health. one of my fave parts of it is the addition of salmon sashimi, which correlates to the saying 年年有余, (meaning "abundance all year"), because 余 sounds like fish in chinese, but it's missing in this rendition. the tossing part is also necessary and it's a communal thing for everyone at the table to participate in - everyone gets a pair of long chopsticks and we toss the ingredients together while wishing everyone "huat ah" (meaning "to prosper"). this is far from traditional yusheng but it's pretty cool to see how his work in a singaporean restaurant has shaped this iconic dish of his.

His cooking is so alive and vivacious. Those colors. He has the touch, a nice mix of masculine and feminine energy. I feel different inside just watching how he made that salad. That’s passion

Thank you Chef Lee I have stage 4 cancer I enjoy your videos and seeing the relationship you have with your sons

[adam]

Your son’s YT Shorts of asking you turn his selected foods to “gourmet” eventually led me to this video. I am flabbergasted after watching this!! I totally underestimated you, and I feel both shame and shock at the same time. This salad looks So much Kudos, thank you for sharing with us!! More videos please!! 🙏

THE WAY HE SLIDES OVER THE MANDOLIN NO FEAR.

Chef, you have been a long time inspiration and I absolutely love how you presented this dish.

[jeffliles]

You are a blessing. I have waited a long time to actually hear you describe your work and the flavors that you achieve. God bless you friend.

[StrawberryDaShortcake]

I spent my entire high school years watching you on ICOA in 2002-You’re the reason I fell in love with cooking.💐💐💐💐🏆

[majorpollard_famonly]

I love this channel….I never met my dad, but I honestly wish I grew up with a father like this. I’d be his shadow and also become a respected iron chef myself 💯

[SethyTan]

Singaporean fan here, very cool to know you inspired Tung Lok's lou hei, they are still well established and known for CNY dishes till today.

[axtran]

Susur's usage of ingredients is just so perfect. I've never not liked a dish from his restaurants. The kids are so lucky he shares his love with them directly!

[LadyAsh]

I just flew out of the Toronto Pearson Airport last week and had the pleasure of eating at Lee Kitchen. Everything was plated beautifully and absolutely delicious. Thank you.
