When you have a good stock, you can make a good soup.
Happiness is within. It has nothing to do with how much applause you get or how many people praise you. Happiness comes when you believe that you have done something truly meaningful.
I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.
You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.
Well, you know, if you get into the profession because you think you can make a lot of money, you can never become successful.
I can represent my culture while helping not only the Chinese-American community, but also the community at large.
A lot of people don't enjoy their job, they may even hate it, but I am lucky enough to be able to make a living through my passion.
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.

If I could only have one type of food with me, I would bring soy sauce. The reason being that if I have soy sauce, I can flavor a lot of things.

I normally don't eat junk food.
I have a lot of cooking tools. In fact I have a whole drawer full of knives. Cooking tools, especially cutlery, are my toys.
I am just a normal professional with a great job and a great life.
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.
Soy sauce is really a multi-purpose seasoning.
