Having seen so many cooking videos from Lucas Sin I'm genuinely surprised he hasn't been offered a permanent ongoing segment or show. His narrative style is not only easy to follow but also very gripping as Lucas himself is filled to the brim with interesting facts and anecdotes that he readily shares with his viewers. He could possibly very well become the next Jamie Oliver.

For those interested traditionally the wontons and the spoon are put on the bottom below the noodles because the noodles and broth were the star of the show because the noodles were handmade and took alot of effort and skill using a bamboo log and pure duck eggs without adding any other liquids apart from a few drops of kansui (akaline water) that's why the noodles need to be rinsed in cold water to get rid of the soapy taste. Therefore by pushing the noodles up it prevented the noodles from getting soggy and mushy and loose its bounciness from sitting inside the broth for too long.

Nicely done Lucas. I a'm also from HK and I will try my best to explain why traditional the Southern wonton is a snack and not a meal. In HK, wonton was originally sold as a quick street hawk lunch and has been kept as a snack/lunch item every since. As for the spoon, it is a technique used to keep the yellow noodle away from the sepreme clear broth and to keep the noodle from becoming soggy. No one likes soggy noodles of any kind. The cruchness of the noodle is just as important as the wonderful broth and the delicious wontons. Lastly, while the noodles are being elevated, the wonton (skin) too will not become soggy and overcooked. It's an evolution of how to better enjoy the Southern Style Wonton and was developed by the "Eat Gods" of HK over the years.

A significant compliment for your videos: I've enjoyed and thoroughly appreciated wun tun all my life, but your video made me appreciate them even more. The "snack size" thought was interesting. In Vancouver, if you order them with noodles, you get something like six hefty ones (around 10 if you order them without noodles) plus plenty of noodles, so it's a full meal for me for sure. The wun tun themselves can be gigantic depending on the place. When I was little and my parents made them on a weekend morning (with our help to fold some), my Dad ask me how many and I'd say maybe 10, and he was thinking like two dozen for everyone (but I was a kid and everyone else was an adult). But no noodles.

Thanks for all the details on the what's, how's & why's of emulsifying ground pork for dumplings. The "stir in only one direction" edict always seemed nonsensical to me. HK style pork & shrimp won ton noodle soup is one of my favorite late night meals; fortunately I live in SF Bay area so I can find good versions. I, for one, will try the Southern Style Broth, I'm sure I can source dried flounder nearby. Thank you for the information on washing shrimp and for all the cultural tidbits like shrimp-eye boil and crab-eye boil. I don't speak or read Chinese, so I would never learn these otherwise. As for other dishes to demo, how about Salt & Pepper Shrimp/Squid,/Fish/Ste Ribs, Dry-style Beef Chow Fun, Singapore-style Mai Fun, Pai Gwat., Steamed Whole Fish, Soy Sauce Chicken, Tea-Smoked Duck, Crystal Shrimp. Sure, there are recipes out there for all of these, but I'll bet none of them explain the background and nuances that you would nor would the dishes taste as good.

My dad has worked in Cantonese kitchens for most of his life with work ranging from yum cha chef to late night 'siw ye' quick eats. He knows a lot about Chinese food through intuition (plus he's a purist) but he struggles when explaining the nuances or the reasoning behind certain recipes and techniques. I am SO glad I happened upon Lucas' videos because he provides answers to a lot of questions I had. Simply put, Lucas is a modern, exemplary, fore-running expert and representative of Chinese cuisine. 1) He is deeply knowledgeable about the history, etymology, and chemical processes for every recipe. 2) He clearly has the skills and experience to back up everything he is saying. 3) He is articulate and concise, and knows when to check himself. 4) Unrelated bonus: He's has a nice voice and is good looking (lol). In short, Lucas is a culinary treasure. We NEED more chefs like him for every style of cuisine. Sincerely, A random fanboy

Lucas Sin, you are a walking cook+history book. every time i watch a video, i enjoy you dropping knowledge and chinese/cantonese terms like seasoning while cooking. I am just a guy watching a lot of youtube, so i am not (too) qualified to answer your two questions, since my sources are also just from youtube, but i will just drop it here, maybe someone with do a follow up and anser it correctly/fully. 1) why the small sizes of Wonton noodle soup (WNS) my relatives in HK told me, back then (maybe more than 20y ago) vendors would also put vegetables (like choi sam) on the noodle soup, which would make WNS a whole dish (carb+veg+meat). but that has changed during the time, because people wanted things to be cheaper and vendors had to adapt. so maybe out of economical reasons they made portions smaller. dunno 2) spoon in the bowl and noodle on top i cant remember and cant find the video in YT anymore, but i believe it was in a video of the michelin cha chaan teng in HK (they only got the star because of their WTS) the cook or narrator mentioned the spoon's purpose is so that the noodle sticks out of the soup a bit and is not submerged completely so it will stay chewy/snappy for a bit longer. the thing with the spoon though is relatively new compared to other "stories" or superstition in chinese cuisine. again, Sir ,thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
