He has THE perfect balance of giving background info and practical tips for the matter at hand. His delivery is incredibly soothing, but lively. I don’t have enough praise for Lucas. Every other on-screen cooking personality on RUclips should be studying this.
Yes, everything about this presentation is excellent. Even the slight background music. So many cooking videos have a distracting background. This low level background sound works for me on a cooking show.
I'm going through a slow binge of Lucas videos and I can't believe I get to watch these videos for free. It's not just about the quality communication and knowledge for me - as a diaspora Asian with HK immigrant parents I never felt super connected to my heritage, but seeing someone on screen explaining the techniques that my mum taught me to use and (also in other videos) explaining why she prepares food the way she does provides so much of that unspoken context I just don't know about and it's refreshing to feel this validation. Hope to see many more videos with Lucas in the future!
Even as a white guy, without the heritage aspect...Chinese cooking is so deep and so very different from western styles that it is absolutely wonderful to pick up the techniques and flavors! It really opens a whole new world of experiences. He just explains things so well it can make you feel nostalgia for a life you've never even lived.
China has such a long and ancient history with thousands of years of refining cooking techniques and flavors from different regions and ethnic groups. I'm glad Lucas is able to introduce even just a little bit of that.
Lucas is a personality that needs his own show. This video should be a staple for anyone who only makes salads to get their leafy greens. Asian culture knows what’s up when it comes to veggies, Western culture, not so much.
Tried Lucas' technique this evening with kale. Kept it simple, no egg drop just single aromatic (ginger) and equal pinches salt/sugar/msg. Literally said "wow" when I tasted it. Incredibly tasty. The sugar and msg add dimensions beyond just using salt, and the ginger was surprising in how well it came through This literally has changed how I'll now braise greens.
@@wongilank msg is just a quicker way versus slow boiling a pot of deep chicken broth that needs hours of boiling. typically restaurants use this chicken broth to give the dish umami instead of msg
absolutely love Lucas especially when he breaks down the basics and compares restaurant techniques vs more accessible home cooking techniques. it's so nice to watch him cook food which I've grown up eating but have never learned to cook. also love the comments section of all Lucas videos, pure love and support for this man and his buttery voice.
I just love the way Lucas explains the science behind the cooking so that you can apply it to other vegetables. It’s not just one recipe. He’s the best! I learn so much every time. Thank you!
He's surgical in his instruction yet charming in the way he sprinkles in the storytelling. And the cadence of his speech is so soothing. I want to try cooking everything he makes, it looks so yum.
I love yam leaves. My mom just boils them and we eat them with tomatoes and fish sauce and some plain white rice. I've used them in pasta in place of spinach, and you can't even tell the difference.
Every video with Lucas Sin is a dang master class. I always learn some fascinating esoteric info, not to mention authentic and practical tips for his style of cooking. I'm so grateful for his explanations and his methods for adapting the techniques to a Western home kitchen. Another commenter mentioned they would watch anything with Lucas in it. Second!
Lucas: Don't know if you ever read these comments yourself but you're one of the best food educators there is in the world for home cooks and chef's alike. I'm hoping you'll consider writing the *Chinese* version (in English) of _The Food Lab_ meets _On Food and Cooking_ meets _Brilliant Food Tips and Cooking Tricks_.
I could live off of the hand torn cabbage dish with a steaming bowl of rice. Loved eating veg dishes in China.. everything just tasted fresh and crunchy. And sooo many veg options
I love the way you provide foundational knowledge and frameworks that are DIFFERENT from western cooking. This is an important point to begin with because otherwise the lens that westerners use to understand Chinese cooking is off. And, they don’t even realize they are using a framework that is western rather than accurate to Chinese cooking.
The sheer amount of new to me information per second of this video is insane. And so casually delivered. Lucas is fantastic and the style and substance is that of a natural teacher. Thank you.
"Because of tradition" Yes, Chef! I agree with all the other commenters. Lucas Sin is a master and I feel lucky to learn from him. For free?! Unbelievable.
This guy is the BEST. I love his style and how informative he is. It's also the perfect level of cookery for most people on cooking youtube videos. It isn't beginner but it doesn't assume you are familiar with Chinese cooking techniques.
Finally a chef who actually deserves the fame and a platform to share what he does best. The internet is filled with talent-deficient fakes who make it through flashy personality and clout. Lucas is uniquely talented and incredibly knowledgeable; a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to learn from.
This content is really so fantastic! The type of staple home cooking skill that people can benefit from, as HK diaspora hearing him say Gai lan on screen was so nice for some reason, that's probably my favorite leafy green
Just love how meticulously Lucas prepare his food, particularly how he compensates for the imperfections of nature’s vegetables’ forms. Such important attention to details that make a huge difference in result. Love, love, love this channel.
I grew up with stir-fried greens, but I'm here for Lucas Sin -- just love the way he demonstrates cooking and talks about food. Yam leaves are delicious, and so are pea shoots!
I’m not a big vegetable eater, my diet needs to change, greens are on the menu. Now these greens I could manage, my wok needs to come out of retirement 😉 Thank you, great job I enjoyed this video.
Hong Kong Food Culture. For many people in Asia. Hong Kong has traditionally been known to have the best food; major cuisines of the world are all very well represented in HKG. Not surprised culinary excellence is built-in with Lucas . Now, America and the world benefit on RUclips.
These videos are brilliant - love to learn about the techniques and not just the recipes themselves. Also lovely to hear about the background and traditions these ideas come from.
This is an absolutely fantastic tutorial. Perfect delivery. Thank you so much. As an avid vegetable gardener, I think it would be very valuable to learn to stir fry well. This will go a long way. 💚
Thank you Lucas, we absolutely love you! Seriously the best chef & educator on RUclips! We always learn, not only how to cook but the reason behind it 🤗😘🤗
Chef Lucas is so amazing in explaining and describing a dish or technique and the reason why it’s cooked a certain way and understanding to steps and in cultural sense and seasonality as well thanks Chef I love watching u wish u had more vlogs with u cooking
I just watched your video for the first time, and I find it extremely impressive and familiar. Your cooking is delicious and very easy to do. I really like your channel and I will follow your channel every day so I can learn your cooking. I hope you will make more videos, and be loved and watched by everyone. I wish you much success in life.
I think I’ve mistaken MSG with Szechuan Peppercorn my entire life. Last night I used the Peppercorn I threw a handful in and was surprised by the “zing” it made my mouth numb, a flavour I’ve always attributed to too much MSG… but there was no MSG. Don’t get me wrong, I love MSG and SP I just realised I don’t need to use that much. Thank you Lucas you have made me a better cook this last year my diet has changed completely… just brilliant. ❤
Hats off to this wonderful chef. I want to see all of his cooking videos and maybe one of these days I'll start liking cooking. Yeah, I admit it. I do not like working in the kitchen or anything that has to do with cooking. This man, however, inspires me to want to be better and do better. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us out here.🅰️➕➕➕➕➕➕➕➕➕➕➕
I love Professional cooks, i follow a handful on you tube. and this guy Lucas, especially for Asian cuisine, you are amazing, just the facts and why, Kenji knows, I am enjoying this and have now a new subscriber. Great content.
love this!! this is all the ways i grew up eating vegetables, it used to baffle me why fellow american non-asian kids didn't like vegetables, they always tasted good to me
I'll watch anything with Lucas in it.
He’s yummy!
Word 👊
Same he’s why I subscribed
Me, too
Can’t get enough of him
He has THE perfect balance of giving background info and practical tips for the matter at hand. His delivery is incredibly soothing, but lively. I don’t have enough praise for Lucas. Every other on-screen cooking personality on RUclips should be studying this.
Agreed. He is an excellent teacher!
I love Lucas!
Oh, I am. And I completely agree with everything you've said here
Yes, everything about this presentation is excellent. Even the slight background music. So many cooking videos have a distracting background. This low level background sound works for me on a cooking show.

I love Lucas Sin’s calm voice and elegant precision. He’s a natural educator. Thanks for this.
I’m a high school teacher and I was just thinking the same thing. Then I saw your comment. Totally agree.

The sugar and msg add dimensions beyond just using salt, and the ginger was surprising in how well it came through This literally has changed how I'll now braise greens.
I'm sure that's mostly because of msg ;)

This is like a masterclass in cooking Chinese vegetables. Lucas is just excellent!!!
My exact thought: he needs a Masterclass
This man really understanding how to convey his technical knowledge of cooking without making it boring. A truly natural teacher
Give this man a show. And a book contract. And love the very gentle, subtle, Kenji shade :-)
absolutely love Lucas especially when he breaks down the basics and compares restaurant techniques vs more accessible home cooking techniques. it's so nice to watch him cook food which I've grown up eating but have never learned to cook. also love the comments section of all Lucas videos, pure love and support for this man and his buttery voice.
Lucas breaks it down the way my Cantonese mom has never been able to - now I want to try these techniques on ALL the greens! What an awesome video…
I just love the way Lucas explains the science behind the cooking so that you can apply it to other vegetables. It’s not just one recipe. He’s the best! I learn so much every time. Thank you!
So true. If you think about it. Similar type of vegetables can be cooked the same way and the ingredients can be whatever you like, to a point.
He's surgical in his instruction yet charming in the way he sprinkles in the storytelling. And the cadence of his speech is so soothing. I want to try cooking everything he makes, it looks so yum.
Handsome chef
More Lucas! More Lucas! More Lucas!
I love yam leaves. My mom just boils them and we eat them with tomatoes and fish sauce and some plain white rice. I've used them in pasta in place of spinach, and you can't even tell the difference.
He’s a babe!!! His cooking techniques are excellent as are these videos. I will finally be able to eat my greens without holding my breath!!

I'm so grateful for his explanations and his methods for adapting the techniques to a Western home kitchen. Another commenter mentioned they would watch anything with Lucas in it. Second!
Lucas is a fantastic teacher and his videos are always amazing. MORE LUCAS! MORE LUCAS!

Thank you, Food52, for giving us 2 Lucas videos in 1 week 🙏
Lucas is the epitome of a great teacher !

This is an important point to begin with because otherwise the lens that westerners use to understand Chinese cooking is off. And, they don’t even realize they are using a framework that is western rather than accurate to Chinese cooking.
Lucas is an excellent contemporary ambassador to Chinese cooking. He's like a hipster Yan Can Cook.
Luacs is quickly becoming one of my favorites to see on any cooking channel!
The sheer amount of new to me information per second of this video is insane. And so casually delivered. Lucas is fantastic and the style and substance is that of a natural teacher. Thank you.
Agree about wanting to taste the greens and keeping the flavors simpler.
didnt expect to watch this video all the way through. lucas sin is great!!
"Because of tradition"
Yes, Chef!
I agree with all the other commenters. Lucas Sin is a master and I feel lucky to learn from him. For free?! Unbelievable.
Chef Sin is the BEST cooking teacher on youtube! Good instructor with explanations of why a step is done.
my mom cooked swiss chard, spinach etc when I was being raised back in the 60's. I love every green now. Thanks mom.
Such a knowledgeable and articulate chef, could listen to u all day bro.
This guy is the BEST. I love his style and how informative he is. It's also the perfect level of cookery for most people on cooking youtube videos. It isn't beginner but it doesn't assume you are familiar with Chinese cooking techniques.
this is my first time watching a lucas sin video. i've been missing out
I see Lucas Sin, I watch. I could listen to this dude talk about food all day
Finally a chef who actually deserves the fame and a platform to share what he does best. The internet is filled with talent-deficient fakes who make it through flashy personality and clout. Lucas is uniquely talented and incredibly knowledgeable; a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to learn from.
Wow! You are a joy to watch! Thank you! Hey Food 52, can we have more of this gentleman?
It's so funny how he inhales the food with super slurping sound 😂 More Lucas videos please! 🌞🌞🌞
I love Lusas’s presentation. I truely enjoy listening to his stories and all the information about WHY things are done a certain way :) kudos
Is he new? He's very knowledgeable. Will subscribe to his blog from now on. Congratulations Lucas.
This content is really so fantastic! The type of staple home cooking skill that people can benefit from, as HK diaspora hearing him say Gai lan on screen was so nice for some reason, that's probably my favorite leafy green

I love the way Lucas talks and cooks. So calm and methodical. I am going to try to cook the vegies the way he does. Thank you, Lucas.
I grew up with stir-fried greens, but I'm here for Lucas Sin -- just love the way he demonstrates cooking and talks about food. Yam leaves are delicious, and so are pea shoots!
Every show this guy does is gold
Nice style of cooking -neat, clean, minimalistic; thank you.
We for sure need to learn how to cook healthy vegetables as a whole. May we PLEASE have more of these delicious types of videos?!
I’m not a big vegetable eater, my diet needs to change, greens are on the menu. Now these greens I could manage, my wok needs to come out of retirement 😉 Thank you, great job I enjoyed this video.
Lucas is one of my faves! So happy to learn from him!!
Lucas has a tremendous amount of knowledge and he shares in it way that's captivating. Just terrific!
Recommend these videos to every Chinese kid whose mom somehow didn't teach them how to cook... simple yet effective!
That's how the egg strands form!! I am going to practice this x 1000 to make special bean curd soup. Omg, thank you Chef!
WHAT A LEGEND
you are SUCH a good teacher
One more heartfelt cooking video featuring vegetables. Good work!
Lucas makes learning how to cook so much more enjoyable.
Not only some delicious recipes but also techniques taught. Thx!
Love Lucus! So knowledgeable and great watching him cook!!
This dude is just so well-spoken! Great teacher!
Thank you chef! You have probably improved my egg drop technique. Been strugling with that a bit.

We love cooked greens in the South! Fabulous video.
This is an absolutely fantastic tutorial. Perfect delivery. Thank you so much. As an avid vegetable gardener, I think it would be very valuable to learn to stir fry well. This will go a long way. 💚
Outstanding video! I appreciate how you explain clearly and calmly each step.❤🎉😊
I like his little pride face of smile when he talks. Awesome explanation all the time! I learned a lot
The best greens I’ve ever had have been at Chinese restaurants. I never knew greens could taste that good.
Thank you Lucas, we absolutely love you! Seriously the best chef & educator on RUclips! We always learn, not only how to cook but the reason behind it 🤗😘🤗

Very educational.

Excellent video. I have learnt so much about chineses home cooking from Lucas’s demo. Thanks.
I adore his intensity and passion
Great job. Love greens. I always learn something new from watching these videos. Thanks Lucas.
Outstanding cooking class. Succinct, thorough, excellent.
When Lucas Sin tells you to eat your veggies, you *eat* *your* *veggies* 😂
omg he's my new favourite cooking channel/chef on yt.
Outstanding! I’ve had the cabbage dish in Sichuan and watching him taste it brings back memories!
Thank you for uploading this video clip looks awesome and love how you explain everything in detail great job 😁🙏👍 Florida USA 😊
I love your presentations Lucas. The food and its history and purpose and cultural significance is really great info to learn.
love this!! this is all the ways i grew up eating vegetables, it used to baffle me why fellow american non-asian kids didn't like vegetables, they always tasted good to me
Superb presentation! Thank you!
Excellent vid with great explanations!
I learned so much from this video! Can't wait to try these techniques.
Wish there were more videos with Lucas in it!
stay tuned!!
