I love this series Hannah gives a lot of life and humor to it

[hope.m]

"Oh wow look at all these words I didn't know" 😂

[hashiroy]

"Human beings have been eating things a long time"

[RockstarEater]

That Chinese chef has a pretty rad beard. He looked like he could have come from the Han Dynasty 😀

[cillaxandhavesometea]

She's eligible to compete for best dad of the year. Those jokes..

[avariceseven]

I can relate to that dictionary part. Whenever I open one I get sidetracked to those other words I don't know and sometimes so engrossed in reading other stuff that I forget why I even opened the damn book.

[vinylscratch]

I love the strings of garlic in the background makes it seem like someone's going to kill a vampire later

Hannah: "I've actually made dumplings before and what I learned from experience is that the fold is crucial to keeping the filling inside"
Me: *surprised pikachu face*

[PoemsRunAground]

Anyone else watching this because they’re an immortal being looking for soup recipes?

[yeulii]

when she put the crab meat in the bowl and said "we can add—" an ad literally played

[rhemam]

Hannah is that person in a friends' group whose jokes don't work😂😂

[SoulBladeScythe]

The puns are the BEST! Hannah is so funny and her smile, attitude, and energy are infectious. Please do more vids!

[reginemanalo]

Now im craving to know the origin of ramen 🍜🍜🍜

[anniekhan]

Hannah I love your thirst for knowledge for history of food. I am really happy to watch your videos

[greghelton]

With lots of practice roll the dough into a large single rectangular sheet. Then cut into smaller square skins. Less work that way.

Lots of work but hand made dumpling skins take the texture to another level.

[wdaisyy]

Who else is craving wonton right now😍😍😍😍

[spctator]

How to make wontons while making them look while tortellini, nice.

[thecraftykingdomking]

*You look like the kid in that vine that had to restart his mashed potatoes*

[averyallen]

I really love Hannah’s persona it’s so fun and she does a great job bringing together history + culinary arts

[HomeCookingWithMom]

I'm surprised crab wontons are the oldest recipe, I would have thought it's shrimp and pork since that is the classic go to wonton filling for most Cantonese families - maybe the crab soup and crab filling got too expensive for the common people to eat?
