I always knew I wanted to be a chef. Growing up, I fell in love with the kitchen by learning how to cook alongside my grandmother, Ai-Soon Lee. She inspired me, and taught me a lot about discipline. I always joke that I had my first sous chef position was when I was five, helping her peel garlic and blanch vegetables. I remember standing on a step stool wondering the most efficient way to finish, so I could go play.
