Haha Chef Lee knows that most people won’t make it anyway. Singapore Lo Hei or Yuseng is an auspicious dish. Most of the ingredients should have symbolic meaning which his doesn’t, so no point. It should also have raw fish.
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.
And the fact that simple dishes tend to not have sophisticated cooking methods is one of the reasons they can be a chef's best dish. A simple dish may not require a lot of techniques, and that allows the chef to create the dish with even more confidence.
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!
Stop lying, it is not explosive with flavor, most of it is tasteless grass and roots. If you want "eXpLoSive FlaVoR" eat some well salted high quality meat or a fucking icecream
Same. Chef lee asked me what my fave dish was from his restaurant was & of course I said this cuz.....guys, what do you expect??? This is the dish that made chef lee famous, y'know??
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.
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!
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.
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.
Yeah I have experienced that before its quite amazing. It would probably be quite hard to pull off in a western nation and unfortunately most wouldn't even know how to appreciate it. The tea ceremony has similar issues here for the same reason. People just want green tea in a Starbucks. It's sad
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 DELICIOUS!!!!! So much Kudos, thank you for sharing with us!! More videos please!! 🙏
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.
I remember when I first moved to Toronto in the very early 1980’s ( former Montrealer, here). My friend and I were new to Toronto and found this very fun restaurant on Queen St., before the area became mainstream, called Peter Pan’s. I believe that Mr. Lee was the chef at the time. Always had the “ Salad Cozumel”, seafood on a bed of a variety of lettuces with a fabulous dressing . Would be served with a ciabatta type bread( before generally popular).oh my, loved it and wish I could find it today ( about 40 years later, yikes!). So, not at all surprised that Mr. Lee became known for a signature salad! Just wondering, my friend and I are turning a “ significant age” this coming spring. Is the salad served at any of the Lee restaurants, if not, would you, Sir, be willing to share the recipe? Thanks for considering and All the best!
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.
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!
SLAW!!! The only thing that I order in Lee’s restaurant. My daughter loves the bao and my husband loves the cod fish. Been eating there since 2011. I just told my husband to eat there in Nov 1, 2024 for our 23 yrs anniv… i can taste it now!! Yummmmm!!!!
4:29 in masterchef if you served this the judges would be all "how am I gonna eat this hurr durr durr" or "YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL MEEEEE HOW TO EAT hurr durr durr"
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 💯
I’ve been to your restaurant many times and it was because I felt like having the slaw 😊 it’s sooo good! I will try to recreate it though… 😂Thanks for the recipe! Best restaurant in Toronto!
Thank you for sharing this with us Chef. I hope to get to try this at your restaurant one day and when I open my own restaurant, I will serve a dish like this that is inspired by you every February for new year.
I love watching these videos, the aspect of wanting to make these amazing dishes or at least begin learning how to. And then I see the ginger. I'm so depressed as a redhead that the one food that kills me is ginger. It's sad, so many good meals I could never eat as the ginger adds a unique flavor I will never get to experience.
Honestly that looks like an excellent dish! I really like the peanuts and noodles! The most complex salad we have where I'm from is a Cobb salad, and while I like it, this looks WAY better!
I appreciate how fearlessly you slice things on the mandolin without a guard... And I toss that due to experience, because the first time I used a mandolin to slice some cucumber, I lost a peice of my pinky..... I did grow back after a time.
For sure looks refreshing! Especially with ginger and citrus. I'm so proud of that kalamansi. lol So common in my country but I rarely see used as an ingredient on any cooking vid or recipe, usually a dip or like a condiment/seasoning/marinade. I sometimes use it in adobo instead of the usual vinegar.
Lived in Toronto for 12+ years. My wife and I would go to Lee's 3-5x a year, so I've had this dish 50+ times. It honestly is the most delicious dish I've ever had. One of the most memorable dishes and one that I find myself craving! If you can get to Toronto to try this dish, you must!
We absolutely adore and love this salad! It is an experience of textures and flavours. Susur is genius! Food at his restaurant is flavourful and delicious!
The modern Yusheng people enjoy in Singapore / malaysia is invented in Singapore by a few chefs from Singaporean restaurants. 4 heavenly king. Specifically for Chinese new year. The act of it is called lou hei. And traditionally the dish has crackers, salmon fish, sour plum sauce etc. So whatever name u call it in Malaysia is just the dialect translation of yusheng (Chinese) and Lou Hei. This vid iron chef is just giving it a modern twist.
@@IainL "Cantonese and Teochew immigrants introduced the yusheng dish to Singapore and Malaysia in the 19th century. The original yusheng was simple and had relatively few ingredients: raw fish, cucumber, radish and coriander were topped with vinegar, oil and sugar. Therefore, the dish originated from China but modern takes of the dish existed in both Malaysia and Singapore with both countries having competitive claims over who first modified the dish to its modern version."
Im from Malaysia. Same as Singapore. Lo Hei or we call it Yushang is an auspicious dish. Normally has a raw fish. And 24 is a bad number to use as a mix of ingredient. Maybe Chef Lee didnt know that. But i can see Chef Lee setup is more for texture and taste. And less symbolic. In Malaysia, we use crackers for crunch and Pomelo for citrus. Its an explosion of taste in mouth.
What do u mean same as Singapore. Yusheng is literally invented in Singapore by a few Singapore restaurants chefs and then Malaysians brought it in. In Singapore it's called yusheng. The Chinese name. Yushang is just Cantonese cause u all use it in KL
When a chef shares his secret ingredient or signature dish, the chef exudes confidence. Sometimes, it's about the skill to balance and the perfect palate that makes all the difference. Thank you, Iron Chef Dad!
Im imagining all those flavors and all i can think is wow, that is probably the most delicious frikin salad i could possibly think of. I bet its light but also has good mouth filling texture with the fried stuff. And the citrus with pickled ginger then high notes of the herbs and on top a tiny bitter from the flowers. Not to mention the sweetness from the fresh veggies.... mmm, i bet its amazing!
i love how people that how found a love for cooking like me have always found ways to make stuff different and amazing.. because in my opinion the best cooks try stuff out and understand the flavors behind it :). the thing that sucks is that some of the cooking processes pull out some amazing flavors and we have no idea how to keep the good ones in without taking out the bad ones as well.
Coming up as a chef I held Chef Susur in the highest regard. This man is a pioneer and inspiration to young talent, well done chef and thank you for your contribution to the culinary world 🌎
Darn. I am slow, but it's great to see you so happy and doing well on RUclips, too! Missing those days dining at Tung Luk in Singapore when you were there.
It may have been said 24, wait... 25 times. I love this man and will continue to a little more every year. In person, I've loved your food and I've loved your personality. Now I can enjoy them virtually. Alas, without the ability to eat your wonderful creations!
So happy I got to try this dish last March on a trip to Lee. Sat at the bar and was eating this very dish, when I was shocked as Susur came out of the kitchen! You could tell by his clothes he wasn't "cooking" that night, but just overseeing everything, saying hello to VIPs etc. But it made the whole dinner (which was fantastic) a little more delightful!
This may have been inspired by a traditional New Year's dish of my country but I think it speaks for the chef's skill in picking ingredients and marrying them together.
As much as I appreciate you as a chef, this very much feels likes a PR piece. That’s so much better than I could do ever, but this piece (the video) does not feel like it gives it justice.

"I'll reveal my secrets because I know you can't do it anyway."
Much like an electrician showing you how to connect up a 480v service. You could do it on your own, but most sane people won't.
😂
CULINARY GANGSTER
Haha Chef Lee knows that most people won’t make it anyway. Singapore Lo Hei or Yuseng is an auspicious dish. Most of the ingredients should have symbolic meaning which his doesn’t, so no point. It should also have raw fish.
Cant do it because the vast amount of different components and ingredients that most people wont bother searching for
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.
Salads are the future! Especially in hot places. Best lunch everrrrrr

That's interesting. To me it looked incredibly dry and basically like a mid salad, but that can't be the case, right?

Chef, you have been a long time inspiration and I absolutely love how you presented this dish.
Fr, I couldn't imagine doing that without a guard
If you're holding the ingredient you're cutting properly you don't need the guard, and using the mandolin everyday probably also helps
