When you have a good stock, you can make a good soup.
I enjoy the quiet life.
I live a very low-key life.
Well, you know, if you get into the profession because you think you can make a lot of money, you can never become successful.
When you enjoy what you do, work becomes play.
Chinese culture has a lot of virtues that are tremendously valuable to not only us as Asian-Americans, but also the world in general.
As long as the food is well prepared and not overdone, I think it tastes good. It doesn’t matter if it’s Chinese, Japanese, anything.
Because normally with Western cuisine, you’ll serve vegetables separate from the meat, so kids will eat the meat and never touch the vegetables.
In general I love to eat anything. I enjoy anything that is well prepared, a good spaghetti, lasagna, taco, steak, sushi, refried beans.
I remember when I was in college, I used to watch Julia Child’s cooking show during dinner and joke with my roommates about becoming a TV chef.
At thirteen, when I arrived in Hong Kong after leaving China, I made a living by working in a restaurant.
When I retire or pass away, I will be able to look back and say that this has been an exciting life. That’s all that matters.
Soy sauce is really a multi-purpose seasoning.
I am just a normal professional with a great job and a great life.
Anyone that has come to America past the age of eighteen will be able to understand when I say that you can never shake your accent.
Why is America such a great country. It is because we stand united.
I don’t like to waste anything. Any food left over from the night before is always eaten the next day.
First of all, I can’t really claim to be a great chef.
I can represent my culture while helping not only the Chinese-American community, but also the community at large.
I have a lot of cooking tools. In fact I have a whole drawer full of knives. Cooking tools, especially cutlery, are my toys.
