Ming Tsai represents Asian American aesthetics in the flavorful dishes he prepares. In his show he shares the techniques and philosophies behind east and west cuisine. He reaches millions of viewers and is always sure to include traditional Chinese flavor to his dishes. His attention to the details and customs of a Chinese chef is what classifies him as an Asian American artist. In China, cooking is a highly regarded art form.
Extensive training consists of learning the culture and tradition of Chinese cuisine.
Ming's style brings eastern and western tradition together. He promotes the same multiculturalism that Asian American writer David Mura envisions.
