In general I love to eat anything. I enjoy anything that is well prepared, a good spaghetti, lasagna, taco, steak, sushi, refried beans.
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.
When you have a good stock, you can make a good soup.
Because normally with Western cuisine, you’ll serve vegetables separate from the meat, so kids will eat the meat and never touch the vegetables.
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.
