Your cooking videos should be preserved somewhere in some library of the world's greatest videos of such things and made for compulsory watching in our early education maybe before the age of 8.

That knife skill on the potatoes is the best one I have seen yet, and believe me I watch cooking recipes constantly and that composure… WOW. I really dig this chef's vibe.. I don't even know what else to say. My mind is blown by this delicacy.

I find it amazing that Chinese chefs use basically one knife to do everything. I myself own maybe 30 knives, mostly German and Japanese. Just one Chinese knife that I use for chopping chicken. You have great knife skills. Particularly when you julienne, it's always consistent.

Great to learn the finer points of knife skills and the in-depth explanations, which most videos and recipes don’t teach.

Living in Asia, I can tell you that Chef John's knife skills, though perhaps not unique only to him, are definitely in my top 1% of Chinese chefs I’ve ever seen.

I just bought a nice Chinese cleaver last week. I've already cut my finger once with it so it's great to see a focus on knife skills in your videos! The recipes are great, but the techniques are even more helpful!
