This guy was my entire childhood, he literally taught me how to cook properly through this show. Met him once in Vietnam when I was kid, but I was speechless when I saw him face.
I was 10 in 1985 and I absolutely loved watching Martin Yan, Julia Childs, or Justin Wilson cooking shows. It really gave me a lot of inspiration to cook as a kid. Thanks to my parents watching in amazement and guidance, I was able to cook simple rice and whole-chicken soup on my parents.
I've been a chef for 35 years. I love my German made chef's knife, but I've used a Japanese (almost identical) vegetable cleaver for years. It is the best all-purpose knife. And I was glad to hear the high carbon comment. Today, with all these hipsters insisting on reinventing the wheel by promoting the Japanese low to no carbon, people are wasting hundreds of dollars chipping and replacing the brittle knives. They even go so far as to say the carbon makes the blade brittle. This is false. High carbon stainless allows for a tougher blade that can be sharpened easily and will not discolor dark fish or lettuce. If your knife is brittle, you bought poor quality. I don't care how much you paid or the name on the blade, from Henckels to Shun they make gold and they also make garbage. So do some homework.

So much humor in his cooking. No one knew Chinese food could be so easy and good!
It's so great to watch these early episodes where he is really letting the "dad jokes" fly! He's so funny.
Loved watching him as a kid❤️

When he made an appearance on Hells Kitchen as a special guest with Gordon Ramsay, he should’ve brought his signature knife (cooking axe).

I'm surprised how often he got away with saying damn on TV back then
Ni dia masih muda siol!

From a time when China/US relations were better.
