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.

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

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!

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

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

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!

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

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 !

Daddy Lau really is a treasure.

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

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 ❤️

Sooo good. Thank you for sharing 🥰

i already followed your recipe and its awesome

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!

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

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

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

Mmmmmm, one of my favorite dishes 😋

Beautifully done. Thanks Dad!

Absolutely delicious! Perfect! Better than roast turkey!

Dad is such a cool chef

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

Just made it! It’s amazing!!!

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

This dish is so good! My brother makes this and it’s chefs kiss!

This is beautiful! Please include a video of how to properly cut the portions. And how the remaining pieces are used. Like is the head also eaten, saved for a stew? Would love to know more❤

Cantonese styled steamed fish has to be my favourite ✨✨👌🏾

Thanks Lau! 😋

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

Sarap nmn yummy recipe ng isda delicious ulam

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

Glad u share your delicious meals Thank u

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

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

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

Looks absolutely delicious!!!

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

I love Papa Lau

it looks so good

Stsamed fish is one of those dish that seems fairly simple, but you know how good the restaurant is when they really nail a steamed fish and of course the sauce too.

Thank you for this 🙏

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

Wow. Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing this video

What can i use in alternative of cooking wine?!

Haha. When I was a young boy growing up in Hong Kong, my parents named our dog ‘Mui Mui’. I haven’t heard these words for so long. Brought back many great memories …. Especially the steamed fish. Great Video. It looks 好食 (Ho Sik). Thank you for the great video.

Missed my coking skills .. been working for a Cantonese family way back in Singapore 🇸🇬 this is what i do when I steamed fish .. ❤️❤️❤️

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

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

Great, thank you!

Looks fantastic

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?

Ahhhhhhhh family memories eating this dish as a child…

如果本身有蒸魚豉油嘅話可唔可以用？

Here in Greece we use lemon olive oil parsley salt pepper mustard and maybe some green onion also. This one is also interesting and different!!!!!! Nice video!!!!

My late grandmother recipe is you put gingers lemon onion and lemongrass inside of the fish stomach. And then put sliced chilli inside the pot along with fish. For the sauce we use oyster sauce lemon juice sesame oil and fish sauce and pour some warm water to it. To enhance the flavour you can put fermented(i think i spell this right) soy bean around the pot. And then steam it for 30 minutes or until it fully cooked.

The best way to make fish

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

Amazing videos bro

Looks so delicious. I want to have it myself! I just love fish. They are absolutely delicious and tasty. Moreover, a lot of health benefits come from eating fish.

Jesus, that looks amazing! 🤤

This is a classic way to prepare fish. My dads favorite way of cooking fish. Him and I would always share the fish head together 😁

It is amazing!

Can I use peanut oil for the sizzling?

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

Wow your Dad is amazing! He is the teal Shifu 😊

Can you tell us where did you get that wok?

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

My favorite dish ❤️

Looks good.

That looks fucking delicious

Discard the ginger then top with ginger

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

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.

I like your dad.

What type of oil is being used?

I'm curious as to how the fish is eaten. Would you use a fork and eat around the bones? Either way this looks delicious.

My personal sauce is Shao xing wine Light soy Sugar Fish sauce A bit of water to make it less salty

蒸魚前用料酒/白酒或姜䓤水洗下魚

If you like steam fish, make sure you invest in a wok or steamer that is wide enough for a large ceramic plate that can hold a whole fish.

What kinds of fish are good to use?

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

Dear brother, can you use olive oil or coconut oil for simmering

Yummyyyy. My fav 😋😋😋

Nostalgia!!

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

Fantastic!

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

Welcome to My Home town!

Love it

What kind of fish is that?

can you please share the recipe for the sauce? thank you very much!!

And THIS ladies and gentleman how a healthy Familie look like..

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

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

What type of fish???????

Does cooking wine contain alcohol?

What kind of fish works with that?
