What I like about learning other cultures food is we pretty much eat the same thing but we can find a new way to eat them without more cost. That is so much fun. 🙂

Obsessed now. Lucas needs a channel, a show – something lol. This is how you spend a down time Monday! Lucas, you make food I have had a lot interestibg again. Thank you,!
OMG I've heard Chef Kung talking and making Cungee, but never put two and two, just thinking that it looks like a recipe that we eat a lot in Portugal called "Canja de galinha" (Chicken Cungee) but we don't eat at breakfast, or it's not usual. Amazing how food unify us, two different cultures even so when talking about food our fuel, so similar.
in brazil we call it "canja" (khan jah)
its not quite the same recipe, its made with potato, carrots and chicken with many herbs and spices, but it can also be done with rice, and its used for the same purpose, people on the hospitals are fed canja most of the time
7:08 …..ah…I see…..I now understand why he has such beautiful glass skin! Look! LOOK AT HIM!! All that beautiful steam has his skin looking right!
Needs some sliced youtiao pieces on top to complete the picture.
good job dude.
Damn! I loved this Video!!!!! Love how you are explaining all the cultural Background while mixing in the techniques. I could listen to you forever explaining how to cook specific dishes.
Well explained and demonstrated
I have yet to find a cuisine that doesn't also have thinly sliced, sweet & sour fresh pickled cucumbers and deep fried dough balls.
I can listen to you all night! I am loving all the tidbits of information I learn from you.
I loved congee
Pretty good on the why not good on the howl
Congee is my absolute favourite food. Amazed at the shout out to arroz caldo, hope one day you can try goto, too!
Wow, very beautifully said!
So it has a Indian tuch to it.. wow..
Dancing elegantly around the elephant in the room. Congee is a peasant food, borne out of absolute necessity and dire need.
Really love the humble origins of this dish at yet Lucas brings such a level of complexity to it.
You have a great skill presenting food. You food looks amazing and also, you are super articulate. I love your videos.
While rice is a traditional food, polished rice really doesn’t have a lot of nutrients. These nutrients are shipped from the grain. Rice can be enhanced, but are stopped when soaked and rinsed. You want to rinse rice to get rid of the arsenic. Rice is really just a resistant starch.
