"Asian cuisine is very salty," she said,"and one of the things I tried to work with him and his mom on is using low-sodium ingredients and making things more flavorful."

"Justin's Hearty Recipes," a cookbook with updated versions of Wang's favorite dishes, including chow mein, was born out of the collaboration.

It's an amazing feeling.
