This reminds me of my Popo making dinner for the whole family on Sundays when I was little! It was always my favourite and I’ve struggled to find a recipe that is so similar to hers. I wish I had asked for her recipes before it was too late, so watching your dad and learning his recipes is amazing and feels so familiar. Thank you for sharing all these Cantonese gems!

Pro tip my fishmonger taught me, if you’re cooking for yourself or it’s a night where presentation doesn’t matter, steam the fish in a foil packet. This works for whole fish as well as fillets. Make sure to leave air pocket for fish to steam thoroughly. Best thing is you can just serve it in the foil, fold the the edges back at the table and then when you’re finished you can bin the whole thing without needing to scrub the plate. Sometimes steaming fish can leave the fish skin stuck to the bottom and is a hassle to wash. Oh and stuffing the herbs inside the fish cavity as well as top and bottom can give it even more flavour.

My dad likes to put two to three slits on the side of the fish and stuff the ginger, garlic, and green onion inside the foods so the flavors infuse into the fish as it steams!

I worked for an asian chef that used to do this. I love learning techniques from your Dad, but also I enjoy the element of your family being together. Keep it up!

Daddy Lau really is a treasure.

Amazing Dad

Wow, so simple and looks so delicious! Im glad you had the chance to take this trip with your family. I saw the clip of your dad swimming for the first time in so long!!! SO awesome! :) Was that a Snapper or Tilapia? :) I want to make this!

Yummy! Thanks for sharing! 😋Hi Dad! Very talented!

Excellent demo .I cook 3 whole garlic cloves in hot oil for added flavor

I have not met any Chinese person who didn’t like this home style fish and the oil we use for our rice! Delicious!!!

Mmmmmm, one of my favorite dishes 😋

I love steamed fish. I usually use fish sauce too. Yes it stinks but it makes everything flavorful.

Very Nice! Thanks

Can I do this with filets too? And what about frozen filets? Thank you for the recipe!

Looks absolutely delicious!!!

My mom fry the garlic and pour the oil on the fish..and I prefer to put the ginger inside the fish...

Thanks Lau! 😋

Glad u share your delicious meals Thank u

Thanks for the recipe love to eat this style of steamed fish

I couldn’t catch the part on when you use the sauce you have prepared. Do you pour it in after the fish is cooked, and after you have poured the hot oil over?

Thanks for sharing this video

Looks fantastic

When I was a kid, our family would eat at the Tai Tung, and I would fight my brothers for the eyes of the steamed whole rock cod (if it was available). Thanks for bringing back they fond memories.

Could you explain why you take off ginger and put back on ginger? Is it just for a fresher taste?

Can I use peanut oil for the sizzling?

Hi. Can't find this (Steam Fish) recipe on your site.

Welcome to My Home town!

Love it

The most important step is to pour out the steam water on that plate.

Been wanting to find a recipe like this which my 阿媽 cooks for us often. Interesting that I’m also Lau!

It would be helpful if you can show how to mix the soya sauce.

Amazing videos bro

if i dont have wine what should i replace it with?

Yummyyyy. My fav 😋😋😋

I bet y'all had all of the cooking utensils and ingredients with you from home. The fish was in a cooler with ice right? That's what we do.

Why doesn’t he cut it diagonally? I remember the local Chinese restaurant cut them diagonally. What’s the difference?

"remove the ginger" "garnish with ginger"

PRICELESS

YEAH! 👌🏾😋😋😋

Does the flavor of the ginger and green onion pieces actually get infused into the fish?

Does cooking wine contain alcohol?

The problem with fish here in New York state is that it is extremely expensive. These greedy ass people want $9.99 per pound for a red snapper. Come-on...are you serious!

Tilapia is the worst fish to eat. No nutrition and they raised in high chemical pool with tons of antibiotic

It is very difficult to make out the sponsor, not that I mind but I'm surprised they're cool with that haha

Why pour oils to it?

Can someone tell me what kind of fish is that?

the thing i personally hate in steamed fish is that getting the bones out is much more harder than in fried fish :/

it looks so good

What kinds of fish are good to use?

Place another cover over the fish and the plate wouldn't collect the steam water.

Clever

What is the substitute for the cooking wine? Im interested to cook it but I don't have cooking wine

Does anyone know what the hot oil is for?

What kind of fish is that?

What kind of fish is this

30 minutes or 12 minutes?????

What fish is it??????

God l must be very tired l didnt realize he wasn't speaking English at first and was just super confused. Had to rematch the video to read the subtitles.

Not this red tilapia

Wow

Comment

This popped up didn’t ask for it and this looks disgusting.

I prefer Steamed Hams.

Classic Canto dish, when cooked well, is easily the most delicious and softest fish you've ever tasted and always a 5-Star dish.

Why don't you use Turmeric to marinate the fish?

Instead of using hot oil followed by sesame oil i heat up sesame oil and use that over the garnish.

When i was small, i couldn't eat it, now i can't stop eating steamed fish ❤️

OHHH! YUMMIELICIOUSNESS!!! What kinds of fish??? My stomach is so sad 😞 😞 😞 Maybe, thank you for making me so hungry and sad...

man this is my favorite cantonese dish. its so simple yet so satisfying. The oil flashed green onion whites is the perfect compliment.

"Thanks to virbo" ah yes the raid shadow legends of sleeping in rich peoples houses

Finally an honest Chinese cooking video instead of those China "infomercials" selling some "magic fish sauce"...

I love your videos😻😻. They have taught me so much. You give great recipes that are easy to learn. Thank you for sharing them.

What can i use in alternative of cooking wine?!

Discard the ginger then top with ginger

Every asian family always have "KIKOMAN" soysauce✨✨✨✨

What type of fish???????

Is that a goldfish 😂

He's a Cantonese?

What kind of fish is that?

I’ve always loved this dish during family gatherings! Thank you so much for posting this! I hope to be able to recreate it myself and to cook it for my friends to experience it too ❤️

If your dad told me I crossed the street wrong, I would change my approach.

如果本身有蒸魚豉油嘅話可唔可以用？

what other kinds of fish goes well with this recipe? please and ty

蒸魚前用料酒/白酒或姜䓤水洗下魚

This is something I'd make my parents for their anniversary or for my sister and her husband. I'm very picky with seafood.

Cool but your website is hard to navigate. Just wanted to find out the measurements for the sauce and couldn’t find it. Probably better to just list it in description or link it directly.

Even it’s simple steam fish , but a lots of peoples don’t know the way to steam and the fish sauce is so important , thank you cook with Lau show us !

Roast turkey? Cmon man steamed fish is on a while different level than anything turkey. Turkeys are over rated

Tell us about that countertop wok? And features to look for in similar items?

This is more understanding when you full explained all the methods in English

Absolutely delicious! Perfect! Better than roast turkey!

Is it safe to cook with plates on top? Or is this a specific plate that can be used on top of wok or pan?

I think some fish shouldn’t have ginger used cuz it makes the flesh tough? I have no idea where I heard that can you ask daddy lau

Love you Dad not only is he a great cook he takes his time preparing anything he's also cute

I’m ok with this dish as long as it’s not tilapia, such an over farmed and disgusting tasting/looking fish.

I was about to follow the recipe because it is steamed (healthy) but they put a lot of oil at the end. 🤦‍♀️

i already followed your recipe and its awesome

I have never tried steamed fish…but I am 100% down

Why put oil on something which is steamed?😭
