Sweet and sour as a mother sauce, viscosity as a tool, matching the complexity of the dish to the sauce, cry if you have to, red things make a sauce red - the list goes on. What a talented chef. Plus the tiny samples (the priest when we are working our meat), I mean, really!

Then I got curious at what he has so much to say and watched it anyway. After finishing the video, Chef Lucas and the crew of Food52 deserve my highest gratitude for making this thorough compendium of sweet and sour sauce. Thank you for opening my eyes and great job!

    I grew up watch Martin Yan on PBS. I’ve been an unofficial student for years of the Food Network back when true chefs delivered the content and have given up on the Network as the opportunities for learning and growing as a home cook have, at times, fallen short of expectations. Lucas Sin-you are a true gift to this channel!! Your content anticipates all our questions and give us all the nuances a seasoned cook would look for while they cook-like size of the bubbles, color of the sauce, smells to anticipate. You not only provided the whys, but also the wheres, whens, hows, and what fors!! You have a real knack for educational demonstration-your tone is calm and reassuring, the music was not distracting, the editing was fun and playful as were you. I’ve rewatched your video three times to catch all the tips and tricks and I finally feel like I’m learning again. #thankfulforyouMr.Sin

      Just what I was thinking watching the video. The temp, volume or mass of ingredients is of course important but controlling many other variables make an everyday recipe into a masterpiece. Lucas shows us minute details of making something truly special. I loved watching the guobaorou recipe.

Instead of just assuming we wont get it and skips the intricacies etc. He is amazing at showing you exactly what to do and explaining why. I love that! Thank you so so much! I learned a ton in such a short video! Things that i can actually apply in my own cooking in my own kitchen and impress my own family and friends when they come over for dinner! Excited now! Great video!!❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤

    Sweet & Sour Pork was always a favorite growing up. Many places unfortunately have the usual overly sweet thick sauce, so I learned to ask for the sauce on the side. Now this masterpiece looks like the real deal. Can't wait to try it. Been in home remodeling hell for 4 months and haven't done any home cooking in this time. Next week should be my FREEDOM is back and this will be in my top 5 meals to cook, especially since beef is so expensive, this pork will be perfect. Can hardly wait. - Ft. Worth, TX
