Now this is a great use of youtube! I'm sitting here, a Polish girl living in Ireland, wanting to learn authentic Chinese recipes and a have a seasoned chef teaching me. Thank you! This is gold!

Your Dad is a very knowledgeable and patient man! My Dad was a chef but he died before I learnt how to cook. I couldn’t imagine asking him all these questions as his temperament was not up to it. So sweet to see the interaction between your family.

I just tried this last night for a friendsgiving; it was such a hit! The shrimp was so juicy and the double fry really made them so crunchy. Since I’m a beginner, I ran into some troubleshooting haha: first, i didn’t realize before putting the batter on the shrimp, that water accumulates at the bottom of the bowl while they are defrosting. I realized that that’s why Mr. Lau scooped the shrimp into the batter, not the other way around. The batter was too runny and fell off on the first fry. How I fixed it was just continuing to fry the shrimp on the first time around, then adding more flour to the leftover runny batter! I redipped the shrimp for the second fry, and it totally worked!! Second, after checking 4 local stores including Sprouts, Costco, Trader Joes, and Ralphs, I couldn’t find ethically sourced shrimp :( Hopefully in the future I’ll have a better budget and check maybe a local fish market instead. Third, I totally burnt the walnuts on the first time around. That heat really has to be lowwwww and you have to take them out sooner than you think! Overall I was so happy to make this for my friends. If a beginner like me can do it, so can you!! Thank you for this recipe :)

One of the most purest concepts for a YT channel I have come across. Being of Asian descent also, I completely love the way you invite us to eat with you and see you all ineract around the dinner table. Food and family meal time is so important in SE Asian culture! Bravo guys, I wish great things for you all. :)

Dude, your dad is a legit national treasure. This is my wife's all time favorite take-out dish, and I cannot wait to make it for her!

I am chinese and grew up eating lots of wonderful cantonese food but was never taught how to cook it despite being in my 60s now! Your father is such a gem. He provides tips and explain how the recipe should be cooked. I am so appreciative of him and that he is determined his skills are passed on to many. So glad I found your channel!!

Hong Doy is getting more adorable by the week and he'll be walking soon. Thanks Daddy Lau for your dedication for your love of cooking and teaching.

Oh my god I have been searching for this batter my whole life. Everywhere on youtube everyone does corn starch+egg and end up with soft mushy batter. This is the real deal. It was crunchy and tasted exactly like in legit restaurants 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

My last name is Lau too, watching these recipes keeps me closer to my Cantonese heritage.

You have an incredible channel preserving Cantonese food and language. So refreshing to hear a person from my dad’s generation on KZfaq. Thanks. I am an ABC born in SF.

I really appreciate how thoughtful he is to convert restaurant techniques to accommodate home chefs 💕

My mom tried this recipe yesterday and it was SO good. One of my favorite banquet foods, and it tasted like the restaurant version. Thank you to Daddy Lau and family for sharing this beautiful recipe with us!

There are many videos on Chinese cooking but what I like is that your father is very detailed abt the ingredients, the temperature & the amount of time needed for each step. What I love most is the close family environment that puts family & love at the forefront. Thank you to the lovely Lau family.

Tonight I had the pleasure of creating this dish for my family and the shrimp were absolutely amazing! The sauce is a decadent way to enjoy shrimp. Do not skimp out on any instructions with the walnuts because they are wonderful too! This is a recipe that I will continue to use and be grateful for.

The editing is getting better every time!

I love the sweet little bonding moments between Randy and Daddy Lau. Warms my heart 💖☺️

I love watching your father cook. His passion for cooking is in no way overshadowed by his genuine, pleasant demeanor. You have a beautiful family and I'm jealous that you got to grow up eating his dishes 😁

At this point, I just call your father “Dad!” I literally just said out loud, “Let’s see what Dad is cooking today!” He is a treasure. What amazing knowledge we learn from your videos 🙏 thank you

I remember going to the US and being so confused at this dish because I'm Chinese-Australian and here our honey prawn dish is literally prawns (shrimp) fried and then covered in honey sauce. No walnuts, no mayo, no condensed milk. It honestly fascinated me because the walnuts and creaminess almost make it taste like a dessert

Hope you realize how much you are helping people learn to cook Chinese food. With the pandemic we can cook food ourselves. I've already cooked some of your recipes and they taste original Chinese cooking. Thank you so much to you and your Dad.

Your dad is awesome, bro. Learn all you can! Thanks for sharing!

Thank your Dad from me on how a true Chef shares his knowledge and passion on cooking 😘😘😘

Great format! And a great way to preserve your father's legacy. He will truly be remembered long after for what you are doing here. Thanks for sharing! More power to your channel!

Your dad recipe is now preserved sir, honestly your channel is criminally underrated, would love to see a recipe for the braised beef with daikon (ngao larm) whenever daddy lau feel like it :)

Grateful for these canton dishes. Your dad is so precious and I deeply appreciate him teaching us so many delicious dishes in my native language.

Some people have these great recipes and they keep it a secret....thank you for sharing! Imagine the lives and satisfied tummies you had a direct impact. These are dishes people will make over and over again for themselves and their love ones.

I honor your father, I will cherish this... thank you greatly for sharing.

Just made this for dinner. This is another best recipe I ever made. My maid said the best of the best recipe so so yummy😋😋

Love your Mom. Such good parents you got. Great family!

Thank you so much for making these videos. Your father has an incredible amount of knowledge about cooking and we're all very lucky you are sharing his wisdom with all the world.

I love how thorough, detailed, and educational your videos are! Your production value is insane too. Love this channel!!

I used to work in Chinese restaurants in NYC almost 40 years ago when I was in college. I was not a cook but I have seem enough cooking. I am really glad to see your dad's cooking so my kids can learn from it. He's got skills and much common sense. I remember this beef dish I loved, 法式牛仔粒 "steak in cubes French style". Maybe you can ask your dad to show us that :-) Keep up the good work.

As a second generation immigrant and foodie, I use these videos to practice my Cantonese :D Walnut shrimp has always been my favorite at family banquets

Just love watching your father cook anything! And thanks for translations! I had this dish in my first fancy Chinese restaurant. I wish I had known how to make this during my job on a shrimp boat while I was a young woman.

So excited. This is my wife’s favorite dish. I made the chow mein dish from a few weeks ago for my son and it came out perfect. Thanks for the tip about steaming the noodles that was key!

Wait, not only did he teach us the recipe, he also dumbed it down for us newbie chefs!!! Respect +1000.

Would love to see pictures & more about your parent's wedding!!!! Their memories were so sweet!!!!

I absolutely really love the way you put this together. Seriously educational. Very well done. thank you for including his voice and style of preparation directly.

You and your family are a godsend!!! I've tried 5 of the recipes and boy are they good!

I don't know why KZfaq suggested this video, but this is probably the most informative yet easy recipe video I've ever watched.

I don’t know how this channel found me, but I’m in love. Your family is wonderful. These videos are wonderful. So much love to you and yours 💜

Honey walnut shrimp originated in Hong Kong and gained popularity in the U.S. in the early 1990s. Since then, this dish is extremely popular year round including wedding banquets. Now it’s a staple even at Panda Express where they charge a dollar more compared to other dish items.

I’m new to this channel but I really like it so far! I love getting to learn about the different Chinese dishes, the Chinese vocabulary and also the family gathering together at the end. These videos are beautifully made!

I could just kiss him for his method for making simple syrup, as a former upscale bartender I would have killed for this 10 years ago. I imagine it's very satisfying to have something so indicative of personal family legacy by making something like this, I can't help but feel the best kind of envious. Thank you for the video.

Think I found my new favorite cooking channel/website. Very cooking noob friendly lol. Especially being able to adjust the recipes by # of servings you wanna make.

THANK YOU Father & family for sharing for your recipes 💜 and Knowledge They are all Wonderful!

My goodness, this recipe here is a game changer, I'm sure u are aware of the price of this dish.. So from my heart I'd like to thank you so much this and the pan fried noodles &Chow fun I can never get enough of .. So Freaking happy.. ⛩️🎏🎎🎉🎊🌉🌉🌉 Please thank your father 4me.. Sending good vibes and many blessings of good prosperity&great health..

One of my favorite dishes ever!!! I love this channel! I’m so grateful to you and particularly your father for sharing his wealth of knowledge! ☮️🖖🏽

Aside from the recipes, the thing I enjoy most is the beautiful All-American family setting for a meal together. It doesn't get any better than that.

Wow, amazing. It is great to see the teamwork from two generations - experiences (easy and smart to make), knowledge, restaurant techniques, presentation techniques with thoughtful and detail instructions etc. Well mixed. Your Dad's legacy will be passed down forever. It is also so touchy to watch your lovely family members work closely to make these videos. Thank you to the lovely Lau family.

I do remember having walnut with shrimps as a child at banquets in HK There are 2 versions though, 1 is just stirred fried with celery and the other is like the one Daddy Lau made. You are so lucky to have an excellent cook as dad and not weigh a hundred kilo. Also I like the fact you included the additional info on oil and sustainable seafood, oh and condensed milk (I was fed condensed milk as a baby). Thank you and please give daddy Lau my thumb's up.

This is a recipe my grandfather likes best when we have special dinners. I think it's specifically because of good memories with our big family in the 60s-80s when he was most socially active. Thank you so much for this recipe!

Honestly we have such a distorted idea of authentic Chinese food (though the cuisine is so diverse and each area has specialties of its own) but we only know a few from the customer favourites of Chinatown to some trendy internet recipes, this channel is an amazing gateway to the infinite possibilities of what Chinese food can really be, we’re so blessed to be able to find such a gem in the crowded world of the internet! Wishing your family a long healthy life ❤️

It's always fun to watch Daddy Lau's expression when you taste his food!

I absolutely love your Dad. He reminds me of my dad only difference is my dad was a legend cooking Filipino food on our island in Hawai’i. He passed away March this year (2022) his legacy lives on🙏🏽 Now I get to learn from your Dad 🤙🏽

What a bonus to learn about your parent’s wedding.

ABC. Grew up in San Francisco. Followed the Asian kid track. Went to Lowell High. UC. Healthcare. Now I’m in New York City with my career... watching your videos gives me a sense great sense of gratitude for my father’s cooking (he was the family cook)... but really my upbringing. Your videos are informative but also so wonderfully produced. Looking forward to more!

I love ur dad 😁🤍🥰 such a sweet heart thank u for sharing ur gift with us , god bless u 🙏🏻

As an American Born Chinese born in the extremely late 90s I remembered occasionally my parents would buy this in the restaurant as a takeout or as a for this Honey Walnut Shrimp in my childhood days. Thank your for this video.

I love it! I’m a lau too! And he speaks Chinese ! I love that he’s knows restaurant cooking style and talks about it gonna learn a lot !

You dad is such an inspiration person, I could tell that he cooking with love. Yesterday, I made a honey walnuts shrimp from his recipe and share it on my KZfaq. Thank you so much papa for sharing the best recipe I ever found on KZfaq, you reminds so much about my dad❤

Very interesting! Not only did I learn how Honey Walnut Shrimp is made, I also learned broader cooking knowledge (e.g. smoke point of oils, refined vs unrefined oil). Mahalo for the recipe (and extra info)! Aloha 😊🤙🏼👏🏼

Such a lovely family. You are very lucky to be able to share this with your parents. And I congratulate you on looking for ways to be together.

Thank your Dad for me again! Another favorite dish. Yay!

hah, Uncle Lau now getting more and more comfortable on the camera. Soon be a cooking star!

I can honestly say I have never had this dish but my goodness did I want a seat at that table. It looked amazing!

Glad to have found this channel. I love Chinese food!

I’m glad your father cooked this dish, because it’s my favorite dish that I always have to order when I go to a Chinese restaurant. Now I can cook it myself at home. Thank you very much.

This is what yt is all about... great people sharing their great knowledge for all of us to see!! Thank you for doing so!!

This is absolutely one of my Chinese dish. I order it almost everytime when I order Chinese food. It's unlikely I'll ever make it myself. But this looks great!

I’m West Indian heritage so seafood is in my blood but let me tell you I love how your culture prepares shrimp, it’s the only way I eat it now!

Another video! I'm so happy. I appreciate Daddy Lau's advice and wisdom very very much. Cooking is my favorite thing to do. Greetings from Costa Rica!

Wait a minute....I’d subscribed to this channel a year ago, noticed that not only have I’ve not been receiving notifications lately but I am unsubscribed😮. I’ve never unsubscribed. Anyways, I am a subscriber.....again. Love this man, his gifted talent and his shared wisdom 🙏🏽✨🦋

Love that you talk seafood sustaibility! Great reminder that everyday decisions are important

I'm fascinated by the use of mayo and sweetened condensed milk in Chinese cooking. I love that Papa Lau used ingredients we can all easily access.

Oh yes! This will definitely impress my family. Even amongst all the chinese restaurants in my area they don't serve this!

i'm so happy to have found your channel. Love the authentic recipes and history. thank you so much.

This looks amazeeeeball..! Can't wait to try it. Also, I subscribed! I love your channel - it's so fricken wholesome and just what the world needs right now. I love how even though your family history is unique, it's also quite common because it's part of so many of the AAPI diasporas history. It's incredibly relatable and presented with such thoughtfulness and humanity. Thanks again for sharing your family story with us strangers - that takes a lot of courage!! I also love how it's evident that daddy Lau is having such a good time sharing his knowledge while spending time with his family, particularly his son ☺️ This must mean so much to him (in my eyes). Huge kudos for bringing both of your parents to the table (metaphorically and literally!!) and creating space for them to tell their untold stories. Love mealtime! TLDR: kickass wholesome content, mad kudos and respect, and hope you'll keep up the good work! ❤️

Like your video, bring the whole family together. The son is very 孝順。The cooking is so good.

This is something new I have not seen or tried this dish before. Great to always learn something new. Keep it up and Hong Doy getting more adorable

Your dad is an awesome chef. I couldn't duplicate his dishes

I’m so happy to find this channel!

Much love to you and your family. My youngest daughter got the opportunity to visit China, and she LOVED it😃

YES YES YES. One of my faves!!!! Now we need a full dim sum series 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

The chinese has lots of varieties of food..King of food. Yummy.. 🤤 The warm of the family are the most important thing and having a happy meal on the table it's the most warm feelings... Thanks for sharing💌

Made this dish over the weekend for a family party. Everyone loved it and kept asking if I didn't just lie, and bought it from a restaurant. Will definitely be trying other recipes for the upcoming holidays!

This is one of my favorite dishes! When my family would get together we had to order two orders of this because everyone loves it so much.

Hi Randy! Another great recipe to make! This is my best friend’s favorite dish - so happy I can now make it for her. Best to you and your wonderful family😊!

I just stumbled upon this channel and I couldn't be more glad I finally did! The quality of the videos, helpful tips and the clear dedication for such delicious food is truly appreciated! Thank you guys for all the hard work you put into these videos, and a special thanks to Daddy Lau for sharing his passion for good food with the world! Will be trying this dish soon!

I absolutely adore this channel! Shout out to Daddy Lau, my Cantonese is slowly improving!

Pops understands English but speaks in his native tongue lol reminds me of mine 🤣 enjoy every moment you have with your parents.

My favorite Cantonese cooking channel coming out with my favorite dish? Awesome. Thank you so much Laus!

With every new video i learn so much it's priceless. and i'm a chef..

Oh no, this is world ending! This is the dish the younger kids and the old uncles fight over at restaurants. You would think we’d order 2-3 extra orders, but the elbowing and jostling are part of the experience of this dish. My sister has already checked the kitchen to see if we can make this 😂. Thank you for showing us how to make a dish I didn’t even think we needed.

This dish is absolutely amazing 🎉 I’m Italian and i make it twice a year

I’m so glad I found your channel! I liked and subscribed right away! I’ve been looking for authentic Chinese cooking style in you tube for so long. My kids love ordering this recipe whenever we go to Chinese restaurant. I’m going to try it 😀 Tell your dad, thank you for sharing his knowledge to cook real Chinese food. You have a wonderful family.

He so cute! Love his laugh when his son tested his dish.

Aw, loved when your parents talked about their wedding. ☺️
