We have a very special guest to present us a meal today. Armed with the formidable lost ancient art of Chi Chopping(chopping food with hands), Jon Lee is here to contribute some of his ingenious recipes for theCurryPop.

As you can see, there are no chopping boards or knives in the kitchen. All the food items are chopped with Qi Gong. Sometimes, Chi Chopping can be very dangerous as the powers are generated from the energy of deep refined thoughts. Jon Lee must wear a protective head gear at all times, just in case wrong thoughts are generated and things around get chopped up for nothing.
