@heidid5275 2 года назад

Looks sooo delicious. I can't wait to try this recipe. I'll serve it with white rice. Q: If I want more sauce, can I just double or even triple the sauce ingredients? Thanks!

@rlb209 2 года назад

I’m definitely going to try to make this. Looks amazing.

@williamwei9524 2 года назад

Dear friend, You’re Special! “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal,” wrote C. S. Lewis. It’s true-each one of us is a special creation of God. Believe it or not-no one else is just like you. Your physical appearance, your voice and personality traits-your habits, intelligence, personal tastes-all these make you one of a kind. Even your fingerprints distinguish you from every other human being-past, present or future. You are not the product of some cosmic assembly line; you are unique. But the most important facet of your identity is that God created you in His own image (1). He made you so you could share in His creation, could love and laugh and know Him person to person. You are special indeed! The Bible reveals God’s total interest in you as an individual. The psalmist wrote in one of his most beautiful prayers, “I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. (2) God knew you even before you were born. Then, and now, He has plans just for you, plans conceived in love. As we appreciate God’s constant concern for us, we really begin to grasp the awfulness of sin. He loves you and me so much; yet how often we go our own way, turning our backs on Him. God’s designs for our lives are then blocked; His mercies do not come to the unwilling. But even here we are precious to God, for He continues to love us even when we pay Him no mind. He still sees us as individuals with great value. No wonder the psalmist declared, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand.” (3) God is not an unfeeling, cold-hearted monarch of the heavens. He feels our pains; He shares our sorrows. He cares, and He considers each one of us important enough to love. In fact, He loves us so much that He gave His only Son to die for our sins. “Heaven is love,” the Bible says, “not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (full payment) for our sins. (4) Because you and I are special to God, He wants to forgive us and give us a full, meaningful life. When we trust in Jesus Christ and let Him put our lives together, the Bible says that we become “God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.” (5) Can anyone be more special than that? Yes, you are valuable to God! If you have never trusted Jesus Christ for your salvation, you can accept His love for you today. God considers you so important that He will not force His love upon you. You must choose to receive it. “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become Children of God, to those who believe in His name. (6) My dear friend, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Love in Christ, William Wei williamcwei123@gmail.com Facebook: William Wei Bible References: Genesis 1:27; 2. Psalm 139: 14; 3. Psalm 139: 17, 18; 4. 1 John 4:10; 5. Ephesians 2:10; 6. John 1:12

Thankyou Made With Lau. I really enjoyed your video. from Australia Mick

@McrRoksMyLlamas 2 года назад

Yum! Thank you for making these videos. My parents owned a Chinese restaurant for 30 years - sadly my dad passed suddenly before he could pass along his recipes. So many of your dishes look like my dads so I can’t wait to try! Funnily enough we are also share the surname :)

@PoeLemic 2 года назад

Sorry for your loss. Yes, my Dad also passed away quickly, so we didn't get to learn as much from him as we would have wanted. Glad that the Lau's are sharing these great recipes.

@davewong4834 2 года назад

Such a universal bond for you both! Good for you!

@Newscannet 2 года назад

My dad made rigatoni with ragu sauce once thirty years ago...talked about till the day he died!

@smailmarroc7732 Год назад

Haha dead dad

@procinctu1 Год назад

So sad to hear that. Perhaps you can honor him with a journey to rediscover some of his recipes. I have done that with a family member and found it very rewarding.

@nitagee-fy9ez Год назад

Love watching Daddy Lau and his cooking instructions. Many professional techniques that are explained well, which leads me to appreciate Chinese food to a newer level. Love how down to earth and real the family is. Talking about being frugal and then sends children to college. So admirable and relatable. I don't always end up cooking all Daddy Lau's recipes. I am not that competent of a cook. But I just love watch him and the family.

@britney076 2 года назад

Love to see this happy family cooking... Learning how to cook from here, thank you! 🥰

@artkirby7416 Год назад

Cutest thing I ever seen. You all made me cry. I've worked in Chinese restaurants for over forty years. Lau Sifu is awesome. You've given him the ultimate respect! To see his pride to showcase his skills and experience. He's not retired, he's a you tube star! Great family presentation.

@joulsw3739 2 года назад

Thanks for your videos. I love listening to your father explaining it all in Cantonese. I miss my parents and it reminds me of them teaching me to cook but I missed out on lots of dishes so thanks for helping me fill the gap.

@joypolk3093 2 года назад

I so enjoy your families interaction! Such a good recipe, thank you for teaching it!

@ThunderTaco206 2 года назад

I cannot get enough of these videos! I've been an absolute fiend for Chinese food since I was a kid, and started off cooking it in my 30s with a cheap flat-bottomed wok on my stove top. I've graduated to a proper carbon steel wok that I carefully seasoned, and a 14,000 BTU butane camp stove for a cook surface. It definitely upped my chinese food game significantly, but nothing has boosted my skills with this food like watching your father give these absolute masterclasses in proper restaurant style Chinese cooking. My entire family thanks you, and I cannot express my appreciation enough for sharing this amazing food with us!

@jayhollaaa 2 года назад

I loved the commentary from Randy telling me to pay close attention! Makes following along much easier and of course the food looks sooo appetizing at the end😍

@Diorrisimo 2 года назад

So amazing! Every time I watch one more episode of his cooking, I feel I like I am one more step closer to becoming a chef in Chinese cooking! Those little tips are indeed so precious. Thks to the Laus!

@petermcbride5568 8 месяцев назад

Are you mad .. ? They go through the techniques so quickly and celebrate their sponsors so Slowly, it is difficult to follow the recipes...... Far better recipes on RU-vid .

@chickentender4037 2 года назад

Your videos are helping a lot with cooking tastier and healthier dishes, not to mention savings. Does your dad know what a big fan base he's building?!!

@hugues-alexandredery8596 2 года назад

I already made 4-5 different dishes from your father and all of them were delicious! Thank you so much for all those!! One dish that I would love to see is Cumin Lamb, that I use to order every time I possibly could. Thanks a lot!!

@lizs4644 Год назад

This is the fourth recipe of Daddy Lau's I've prepared in the last few weeks. Every one including this one has been an absolute hit for my family. If I want to make a Chinese recipe, yours is the channel I go to. Thank you for another fantastic recipe. We ate this today and my children raved about how it was ten times better than the restaurant 😄♥️👍God bless you all

@JJ721999 2 года назад

I love the wholesome family element. A lot of food tv and RU-vid/TikTok has focused so heavily on picture worthy presentation and click bait titles that they forget the whole point of cooking is to share it with the people you love.

I really gotta stop watching your videos at 3 am. Nothing worse than going to bed hungry! But I thank you for your efforts and especially your dad's skills and tips to demystify Chinese cooking and learn about the important steps to make my favourite dishes taste amazing and authentic.

@chriskongwong Год назад

Chef Lau is indeed a master chef in Chinese cuisine. Thank you for sharing his skillful cooking method and style.

@canhandletheheat Год назад

I like the clear explanation about oil being added to the meat *after* is has had a chance to marinate.

@chickenheads3746 2 года назад

This is the best method I’ve ever tried using baking soda. It turned out delicious and the beef was so tender. Thank you for sharing your dads awesome recipe!!

I tried the beef cutting and marinating technique and was blown away by how tender it turned out even if I used brisket cut. Thanks so much for this vid!

@margienung9788 Год назад

Besides learning how to cook authentic chinese food, I really enjoy listening to you guys speak cantonese. I’m an Asian Amercian living in Europe and can’t practice my chinese, so your family has been the next best thing!

@jonathanaristone2468 Год назад

I know I am late to this party, but better late than never. Made both this and the special fried rice and we will never order in again. How can such a secret like using baking soda to tenderize tough meat cuts have been not commonly known. Thanks Randy, tell your Dad we are now hooked on his cooking skills. Thanks from every member of my family in Canada.

@Pinkorchid72 6 месяцев назад

Mccormick’s has a meat tenderizer in a small bottle that is hard to find these days, but it uses baking soda…but why spend the money for McCormick’s when you can just used old fashioned baking soda? I remember my mom had a bottle that she only used once growing up, LOL.

This is the fifth dish I have tried by Papa Lau, and they have all come out amazing 🙀 With this one, as I don't like bell peppers, I substituted them with fresh chilis instead (I did the same with the salt & pepper pork recipe), which gave the dish a real kick! Thank you so much for this wonderful channel and all of your fabulous, detailed and clearly presented recipes and great tips - I never thought I would be able to cook Chinese food so well. Excited to try more! 谢谢 👩🏻‍🍳🌟🩷

Your parents’ way of saving money is typical of Chinese parents after the war. My parents were like that; work hard, save up to give their children the best. We who grew up without are the ones who appreciate every thing. We don’t take things for granted.

@MennoniteMike101 2 года назад

Thanks for the great recipes! I really enjoyed the general tso's chicken! Just wondering, Does your dad have a recipe for crispy ginger beef? I would love to learn to make it!
