I grow up on steam eggs. Now I make for my kids and it’s one of their favorites. I use the same plate lined with parchment paper to mitigate the egg binding to the plate.
Not really. You must have missed the episode, but Beryl helped Randy launch their channel by doing special shout out and introduced his channel to her audience. Actually, that's how I started watching Made with Lau.
I think at one point I saw some PBS videos with Lindsey Ellis (before she got cancelled for saying something her audience disliked), so I would suspect PBS keeps an eye out for upcoming successful RU-vidrs and offers them some work in line with their subject matter.
I feel strangely proud too. I feel like your programming is so charmingly positive. I want you to be rewarded for your tenacious goodness and creativity. I am a praying person, so I have been praying that your sphere of influence will grow. The PBS partnership feels like a bigger sphere of influence to me.
Not sure if it’s because I’m sick in bed with the flu, but this episode made me tearful. I think it’s so beautiful sharing recipes from culture to culture. It makes the world a little smaller and makes me feel more connected to everyone. Pan Pals is a genius idea!❤🎉
I'm obsessed with this series. In a country that feels increasingly divided, these moments of sharing, vulnerability and connection between two hugely different cultural backgrounds inside of america reminds me what makes America truly great. We are diverse and share so much more than we differ.
Growing up, my mom, sister and I mostly ate together. Our struggle food was Belgian waffles with stewed apples and whipped cream. Sounds hardly like a struggle right? But I HATED it because I knew it meant we were out of money again at the end of the month. My mom tried so hard to make it a pleasure, and I love her for it.
This was terrific! I am a big fan of MadeWithLau which is how I learned of this event. I loved this entire experience of sharing family recipes and meeting other cultures through food; especially via home cooking/family recipes. Please continue with this series. LOVED IT!
OMG! I’m Chinese American and this is one of my favorite Chinese meals and one of my favorite Italian dishes (except I like broccoli rabe instead of broccolini). My mom would add chopped Chinese sausage to the ground pork and the eggs were poached on top of the ground meat. The steamed eggs like the custard prepared in the video would sometimes have meat or glass noodles added or if alone, had oyster sauce drizzled on after being cooked. The steamed eggs are so soft and comforting.
Aaaah my favorite food creators in one video!!!! Beryl and Made with Lau!! Also love this video format! Can’t wait to discover other food creators here ❤
Food is culture, food is family, and food shared is a fundamental part of reaching out and connecting with other people and other cultures and bringing people together. I got so excited when Randy’s dad who’s never made pasta before knew that putting the pasta in would soak up the water. And when Cara discovered water could actually change the texture of eggs and open her family’s taste buds to different flavours and texture it’s a beautiful thing. Seeing both families ‘get it’ when they are going through the process of making each other’s dish is so gratifying, because it seems different but man some how we all find a way to understand what’s behind the food we eat and usually the heart of it is the same, around a table sharing it with people you love.
I cannot express how excited I was to find this new series. Just binge watched all of the first three episodes and am thrilled by them. And Made with Lau is amazing! Thank you so much for starting this series!
MADE WITH LAU!!!! ❤❤❤ In Hawaii its interesting because we grow up with so many different cultures and cuisines meshing together. My Mom used to make all kinds of things, its hard to just pick one!
OMG! Beryl and Made with Lau! I watch every episode from both of them. I even made some of their recipes. I absolutely love this episode. I can't wait to watch more collab's.
Edit: oh I realize that there were captions on the screen but the cc didn't use them and covered them 😅 I do wish they had translated baba Lau's & Randy's cantonese instead of being like (speaks in a foreign language) - so I'll take a stab at it
ohhhhh!!! My heart is happy to see @madeWithLau on here. I absolutely love their channel. What a great concept and happy to see its on PBS so that it reaches a broad, diverse, audience. ❤
i love pan pals so much 😭 it's everything i already loved about beryl's channel but collaborating with other creators instead of us, the viewer! it's really lovely to get to see both sides of the exchange. and re: the question at the end of the video, a dish i ate growing up that would fit into this family-style kind of meal would probably be shepherd's pie! it's super comforting to this day ♥
Steamed egg: you can add stock instead of water for more flavor. You can also use sake+mirin (burn off the alcohol) combo + some dashi stock for a japanese style steamed egg
Great job recognizing such worthwhile content PBS! I started watching Beryl's RU-vid channel during the pandemic because it felt like I was eating with a friend even when her food looked way better than my dinner. I am now hooked because it is a fun way to get to know the world plus several of the recipes have turned out well for me. Panpals is an excellent direction to take her talents!!
Mom was from Oklahoma and her cooking was mostly Southern US style. Probably the meal she made most often (like every two weeks) was pinto beans with ham hock, fried potatoes, turnip greens and cornbread. Usually with wedges of red onion and fresh tomatoes out of the garden on the side. It's a simple meal, but so comforting to me.
Dishes that always bring my family together around the table are without a doubt: my aunts rabbit stew, my dads carrot/potatoe mash w/ sausages and grainy mustard, my Shepard’s pie and my chocolate mousse but definitely my late granny’s vanilla waffles can’t be left out, they’re there at every single gathering… so in a way she’s still there with us ❤️😍 so glad I learned to make these dishes when growing up so that one day when those who taught me are no longer with me I can still go back in time just by the smell and flavour of those dishes… And I can teach making them to the next generation and keep working on our family recipe book as I like to call it 😅
Great concept and very heartwarming to watch 🥺. Growing up we would have cholent (Or as Sephardics call it ‘chamin’ 😊) with derma (kishke). Also Jachnun is something rare and pretty unheard of in the US.
