Toon tree (Toona sinensis) seeds are available from AnniesHeirloomSeeds dot com. Easy enough to grow in most of the USA,, and it's probably reliably winter hardy into USDA growing zone 6 -- https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/

or further north with winter protection.

This was really good! Rather than boiling it, I prepped the chicken w/ a recipe for rice cooker chicken rice since the ingredients overlapped pretty well. Turned out great, really efficient dinner

Wow, you moved to Yunnan! Congrats Chris and Steph! I'm envious of all the beautiful local produce you have access to. Toon seeds sound very interesting. Any possibility of a Chinese Cooking Demystified meets fellow Yunnan-based YouTuber Dianxi Xiaoge for a collaboration episode? 😁
